Use `verts` instead of `vertices` and `polys` instead of `polygons`
in the API added in 05952aa94d33eeb50. This aligns better with
existing naming where the shorter names are much more common.

For copy-on-write, we want to share attribute arrays between meshes
where possible. Mutable pointers like `Mesh.mvert` make that difficult
by making ownership vague. They also make code more complex by adding
redundancy.
The simplest solution is just removing them and retrieving layers from
`CustomData` as needed. Similar changes have already been applied to
curves and point clouds (e9f82d3dc7ee, 410a6efb747f). Removing use of
the pointers generally makes code more obvious and more reusable.
Mesh data is now accessed with a C++ API (`Mesh::edges()` or
`Mesh::edges_for_write()`), and a C API (`BKE_mesh_edges(mesh)`).
The CoW changes this commit makes possible are described in T95845
and T95842, and started in D14139 and D14140. The change also simplifies
the ongoing mesh struct-of-array refactors from T95965.
**RNA/Python Access Performance**
Theoretically, accessing mesh elements with the RNA API may become
slower, since the layer needs to be found on every random access.
However, overhead is already high enough that this doesn't make a
noticible differenc, and performance is actually improved in some
cases. Random access can be up to 10% faster, but other situations
might be a bit slower. Generally using `foreach_get/set` are the best
way to improve performance. See the differential revision for more
discussion about Python performance.
Cycles has been updated to use raw pointers and the internal Blender
mesh types, mostly because there is no sense in having this overhead
when it's already compiled with Blender. In my tests this roughly
halves the Cycles mesh creation time (0.19s to 0.10s for a 1 million
face grid).

* Flip the logic to first detect if we are dealing with an unmodified mesh
in editmode. And then if not, detect if we need a mapping or not.
* runtime.is_original is only valid for the bmesh wrapper. Rename it to clarify
that and only check it when the mesh is a bmesh wrapper.
* Remove MR_EXTRACT_MAPPED and instead check only for the existence of the
origindex arrays. Previously it would sometimes access those arrays without
MR_EXTRACT_MAPPED set, which according to a comment means they are invalid.

A mesh wrapper might be being accessed for read-only from one thread
while another thread converts the wrapper type to something else.
The proposes solution is to defer assignment of the mesh wrapper
type until the wrapper is fully converted. The good thing about this
approach is that it does not introduce extra synchronization (and,
potentially, evaluation pipeline stalls). The downside is that it
might not work with all possible wrapper types in the future. If a
wrapper type which does not clear data separation is ever added in
the future we will re-consider the threading safety then.
Unfortunately, some changes outside of the mesh wrapper file are
to be made to allow "incremental" construction of the mesh prior
changing its wrapper type.
Unfortunately, there is no simplified file which demonstrates the
issue. It was investigated using Heist production file checked at
the revision 1228: `pro/lib/char/einar/einar.shading.blend`. The
repro case is simple: tab into edit mode, possibly few times.
The gist is that there several surface deform and shrinkwrap
modifiers which uses the same target. While one of them is building
BVH tree (which changes wrapper type) the other one accesses it for
read-only via `BKE_mesh_wrapper_vert_coords_copy_with_mat4()`.

It was looking up the last modifier in the stack, ignoring visibility, instead
of mesh->runtime.subsurf_runtime_data set by the modifier evaluation and used by
the drawing code.

Instancing with geometry nodes uses just the evaluated Mesh, and ignores the
Object that it came from. That meant that it would try to look up the subsurf
modifier on the instancer object which does not have the subsurf modifier.
Instead of storing a session UUID and looking up the modifier data, store a
point to the subsurf modifier runtime data. Unlike the modifier data, this
runtime data is preserved across depsgraph CoW. It must be for the subdiv
descriptor contained in it to stay valid along with the draw cache.
As a bonus, this moves various Mesh_Runtime variables into the subsurf runtime
data, reducing memory usage for meshes not using subdivision surfaces.
Also fixes T98693, issues with subdivision level >= 8 due to integer overflow.

The crash is caused as the subdivision wrapper does not have loop
normals, which are generally computed at the end of the modifier stack
evaluation via `mesh_calc_modifier_final_normals`. (Note that they are
initially computed, but deleted by the subdivision wrapper creation.)
This records in the mesh runtime whether loop normals should have been
computed and computes them alongside the subdivision wrapper.

Also adjust comment formatting and use nullptr
where the previous commit missed.

This will allow easier interaction with other areas also using C++
features, and a potential optimization to edit mesh bounding box
calculation.
