This implements the initial core framework for fields and anonymous
attributes (also see T91274).
The new functionality is hidden behind the "Geometry Nodes Fields"
feature flag. When enabled in the user preferences, the following
new nodes become available: `Position`, `Index`, `Normal`,
`Set Position` and `Attribute Capture`.
Socket inspection has not been updated to work with fields yet.
Besides these changes at the user level, this patch contains the
ground work for:
* building and evaluating fields at run-time (`FN_fields.hh`) and
* creating and accessing anonymous attributes on geometry
(`BKE_anonymous_attribute.h`).
For evaluating fields we use a new so called multi-function procedure
(`FN_multi_function_procedure.hh`). It allows composing multi-functions
in arbitrary ways and supports efficient evaluation as is required by
fields. See `FN_multi_function_procedure.hh` for more details on how
this evaluation mechanism can be used.
A new `AttributeIDRef` has been added which allows handling named
and anonymous attributes in the same way in many places.
Hans and I worked on this patch together.

This commit moves the storage of `bDeformGroup` and the active index
to `Mesh`, `Lattice`, and `bGPdata` instead of `Object`. Utility
functions are added to allow easy access to the vertex groups given
an object or an ID.
As explained in T88951, the list of vertex group names is currently
stored separately per object, even though vertex group data is stored
on the geometry. This tends to complicate code and cause bugs,
especially as geometry is created procedurally and tied less closely
to an object.
The "Copy Vertex Groups to Linked" operator is removed, since they
are stored on the geometry anyway.
This patch leaves the object-level python API for vertex groups in
place. Creating a geometry-level RNA API can be a separate step;
the changes in this commit are invasive enough as it is.
Note that opening a file saved in 3.0 in an earlier version means
the vertex groups will not be available.

Colors are often thought of as being 4 values that make up that can make any color.
But that is of course too limited. In C we didn’t spend time to annotate what we meant
when using colors.
Recently `BLI_color.hh` was made to facilitate color structures in CPP. CPP has possibilities to
enforce annotating structures during compilation and can adds conversions between them using
function overloading and explicit constructors.
The storage structs can hold 4 channels (r, g, b and a).
Usage:
Convert a theme byte color to a linearrgb premultiplied.
```
ColorTheme4b theme_color;
ColorSceneLinear4f<eAlpha::Premultiplied> linearrgb_color =
BLI_color_convert_to_scene_linear(theme_color).premultiply_alpha();
```
The API is structured to make most use of inlining. Most notable are space
conversions done via `BLI_color_convert_to*` functions.
- Conversions between spaces (theme <=> scene linear) should always be done by
invoking the `BLI_color_convert_to*` methods.
- Encoding colors (compressing to store colors inside a less precision storage)
should be done by invoking the `encode` and `decode` methods.
- Changing alpha association should be done by invoking `premultiply_alpha` or
`unpremultiply_alpha` methods.
# Encoding.
Color encoding is used to store colors with less precision as in using `uint8_t` in
stead of `float`. This encoding is supported for `eSpace::SceneLinear`.
To make this clear to the developer the `eSpace::SceneLinearByteEncoded`
space is added.
# Precision
Colors can be stored using `uint8_t` or `float` colors. The conversion
between the two precisions are available as methods. (`to_4b` and
`to_4f`).
# Alpha conversion
Alpha conversion is only supported in SceneLinear space.
Extending:
- This file can be extended with `ColorHex/Hsl/Hsv` for different representations
of rgb based colors. `ColorHsl4f<eSpace::SceneLinear, eAlpha::Premultiplied>`
- Add non RGB spaces/storages ColorXyz.

Previously we always had to set attribute values after creating
the attribute. This patch adds an initializer argument to
`attribute_try_create` which can fill it in a few ways, which
are explained in code comments.
This fixes T87597.

A virtual array is a data structure that is similar to a normal array
in that its elements can be accessed by an index. However, a virtual
array does not have to be a contiguous array internally. Instead, its
elements can be layed out arbitrarily while element access happens
through a virtual function call. However, the virtual array data
structures are designed so that the virtual function call can be avoided
in cases where it could become a bottleneck.
Most commonly, a virtual array is backed by an actual array/span or
is a single value internally, that is the same for every index.
Besides those, there are many more specialized virtual arrays like the
ones that provides vertex positions based on the `MVert` struct or
vertex group weights.
Not all attributes used by geometry nodes are stored in simple contiguous
arrays. To provide uniform access to all kinds of attributes, the attribute
API has to provide virtual array functionality that hides the implementation
details of attributes.
Before this refactor, the attribute API provided its own virtual array
implementation as part of the `ReadAttribute` and `WriteAttribute` types.
That resulted in unnecessary code duplication with the virtual array system.
Even worse, it bound many algorithms used by geometry nodes to the specifics
of the attribute API, even though they could also use different data sources
(such as data from sockets, default values, later results of expressions, ...).
This refactor removes the `ReadAttribute` and `WriteAttribute` types and
replaces them with `GVArray` and `GVMutableArray` respectively. The `GV`
stands for "generic virtual". The "generic" means that the data type contained
in those virtual arrays is only known at run-time. There are the corresponding
statically typed types `VArray<T>` and `VMutableArray<T>` as well.
No regressions are expected from this refactor. It does come with one
improvement for users. The attribute API can convert the data type
on write now. This is especially useful when writing to builtin attributes
like `material_index` with e.g. the Attribute Math node (which usually
just writes to float attributes, while `material_index` is an integer attribute).

Previously, the spreadsheet editor could only show data of the original
and of the final evaluated object. Now it is possible to show the data
at some intermediate stages too.
For that the mode has to be set to "Node" in the spreadsheet editor.
Furthermore, the preview of a specific node has to be activated by
clicking the new icon in the header of geometry nodes.
The exact ui of this feature might be refined in upcoming commits.
It is already very useful for debugging node groups in it's current
state though.

This patch renames two domains:
* `Polygon` -> `Face`
* `Corner` -> `Face Corner`
For the change from `polygon` to `face` I did a "deep rename" where I updated
all (most?) cases where we refere to the attribute domain in code as well.
The change from `corner` to `face corner` is only a ui change. I did not see
a real need to update all code the code for that. It does not seem to improve
the code, more on the contrary.

There isn't really a reason for not supporting it.

This patch adds the remaining 6 interpolations for mesh domains.
The new interpolations are:
- Corner / point / polygon to edge
- Edge to corner / point / polygon
After this it is possible to adapt an attribute to and from every
mesh domain. This is simple to test with the "Attribute Convert" node.
Though, as a note for the future, there are still some improvements
possible to the interpolations, like lazily calculating values for the
interpolations where it's possible, and slightly improving the
algorithms used for some interpolations, like using corner angles
for polygon to point.

This exposes the `crease` attribute, that is used by the Subdivide Smooth node.
It is also the first attribute on the edge domain. Domain interpolations for the
edge domain have not been implemented yet.

This commit adds a `normal` attribute on the polygon domain. Since
normal data is derived data purely based off of the location of each
face's vertices, it is exposed as a read-only attribute. After
rB80f7f1070f17, this attribute can be interpolated to the other domains.
Since this attribute is a special case compared to the others, the
implementation subclasses `BuiltinAttributeProvider`. It's possible
there is a better way to abstract this. Something else might also
become apparent if we add similar read-only attributes.
See rB2966871a7a891bf36 for why this is preferred over the previous
implementation.

After further thought, the implementation of the "normal" attribute
from D10541 is not the best approach to expose this data, mainly
because it blindly copied existing design rather than using the
best method in the context of the generalized attribute system.
In Blender, vertex normals are simply a cache of the average normals
from the surrounding / connected faces. Because we have automatic
interpolation between domains already, we don't need a special
`vertex_normal` attribute for this case, we can just let the
generalized interpolation do the hard work where necessary,
simplifying the set of built-in attributes to only include the
`normal` attribute from faces.
The fact that vertex normals are just a cache also raised another
issue, because the cache could be dirty, so mutex locks were
necessary to calculate normals. That isn't necessarily a problem,
but it's nice to avoid where possible.
Another downside of the current attribute naming is that after the
point distribute node there would be two normal attributes.
This commit reverts the `vertex_normal` attribute so that
it can be replaced by the implementation in D10677.

This commit adds interpolation to and from attribute on the polygon
domain. Interpolation is done automatically when a node uses attributes
on two different domains. The following are the new interpolations and
corresponding simple test cases:
- **Point to Polygon**: Painting the shade smooth attribute in weight
paint mode
- **Polygon to Point**: Moving points along a normal based on the
material index
- **Polygon to Corner**: Scaling a UV map with the material index
before sampling a texture
{F9881516}
This is also necessary for an improved implementation of the `normal`
attribute.

This patch exposes the "Shade Smooth" value as a boolean attribute.
This setting is exposed as a check-box in the mesh data properties,
but the value is actually stored for every face, allowing some faces
to be shaded smooth with a simple per-face control.
One bonus, this allows at least a workaround to the lack of control
of whether meshes created by nodes are shaded smooth or not: just use
an attribute fill node.

Currently the implementations specific to each geometry type are in
the same file. This makes it difficult to tell which code is generic
for all component types and which is specific to a certain type.
The two files, `attribute_access.cc`, and `geometry_set.cc` are
also getting quite long.
This commit splits up the implementation for every geometry component,
and adds an internal header file for the common parts of the attribute
access code. This was discussed with Jacques Lucke.
