Creating the attributes was done inside a parallel loop. Also correct a
typo for the parallel grain size, which was meant to be a power of two.

Currently, there are two attribute API. The first, defined in `BKE_attribute.h` is
accessible from RNA and C code. The second is implemented with `GeometryComponent`
and is only accessible in C++ code. The second is widely used, but only being
accessible through the `GeometrySet` API makes it awkward to use, and even impossible
for types that don't correspond directly to a geometry component like `CurvesGeometry`.
This patch adds a new attribute API, designed to replace the `GeometryComponent`
attribute API now, and to eventually replace or be the basis of the other one.
The basic idea is that there is an `AttributeAccessor` class that allows code to
interact with a set of attributes owned by some geometry. The accessor itself has
no ownership. `AttributeAccessor` is a simple type that can be passed around by
value. That makes it easy to return it from functions and to store it in containers.
For const-correctness, there is also a `MutableAttributeAccessor` that allows
changing individual and can add or remove attributes.
Currently, `AttributeAccessor` is composed of two pointers. The first is a pointer
to the owner of the attribute data. The second is a pointer to a struct with
function pointers, that is similar to a virtual function table. The functions
know how to access attributes on the owner.
The actual attribute access for geometries is still implemented with the `AttributeProvider`
pattern, which makes it easy to support different sources of attributes on a
geometry and simplifies dealing with built-in attributes.
There are different ways to get an attribute accessor for a geometry:
* `GeometryComponent.attributes()`
* `CurvesGeometry.attributes()`
* `bke::mesh_attributes(const Mesh &)`
* `bke::pointcloud_attributes(const PointCloud &)`
All of these also have a `_for_write` variant that returns a `MutabelAttributeAccessor`.

The issue was that the "radius" lookup below fails, because there is no
curve data. Arguably, it should be possible to add attributes even when
there is no data. However, the rules for that are a bit loose currently.
A simple fix is to just not run the conversion code when there is nothing
to convert.

Currently when converting from the legacy curve type to the new type,
which happens during evaluation of every legacy curve object, the
`CurveEval` type is used as an intermediate step. This involves
copying all data twice, and allocating a bunch of temporary arrays.
It's also another use of `CurveEval` that has to be removed before
we remove the type.
The main user difference besides the subtlety described below
will be improved performance.
**Invalid Handles and Types**
One important note is that there are two cases (that I know of)
where handles and handle types can be invalid in the old curve
type. The first is animation, where animated handle positions don't
necessary respect the types. The second is control points with a
single aligned handle that didn't necessarily align with the other.
In master (partially on purpose) the code corrects the first situation
(which caused T98965). But it doesn't correct the second situation.
It's trivial to correct for the second case with this patch (because of the
eager calculation decided on in D14464), but this patch makes the choice
not to correct for //either//.
Though not correcting the handle types puts curves in an invalid state,
it also adds flexibility by allowing that option. Users must understand
that any deformation may correct invalid handles.
Fixes T98965
