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).

When allocating new `CustomData` layers, often we do redundant
initialization of arrays. For example, it's common that values are
allocated, set to their default value, and then set to some other
value. This is wasteful, and it negates the benefits of optimizations
to the allocator like D15082. There are two reasons for this. The
first is array-of-structs storage that makes it annoying to initialize
values manually, and the second is confusing options in the Custom Data
API. This patch addresses the latter.
The `CustomData` "alloc type" options are rearranged. Now, besides
the options that use existing layers, there are two remaining:
* `CD_SET_DEFAULT` sets the default value.
* Usually zeroes, but for colors this is white (how it was before).
* Should be used when you add the layer but don't set all values.
* `CD_CONSTRUCT` refers to the "default construct" C++ term.
* Only necessary or defined for non-trivial types like vertex groups.
* Doesn't do anything for trivial types like `int` or `float3`.
* Should be used every other time, when all values will be set.
The attribute API's `AttributeInit` types are updated as well.
To update code, replace `CD_CALLOC` with `CD_SET_DEFAULT` and
`CD_DEFAULT` with `CD_CONSTRUCT`. This doesn't cause any functional
changes yet. Follow-up commits will change to avoid initializing
new layers where the correctness is clear.

Currently there is a "calc_face_normal" argument to mesh to bmesh
conversion, but vertex normals had always implicitly inherited whatever
dirty state the mesh input's vertex normals were in. Probably they were
most often assumed to not be dirty, but this was never really correct in
the general case.
Ever since the refactor to move vertex normals out of mesh vertices,
cfa53e0fbeed7178c7, the copying logic has been explicit: copy the
normals when they are not dirty. But it turns out that more control is
needed, and sometimes normals should be calculated for the resulting
BMesh.
This commit adds an option to the conversion to calculate vertex
normals, true by default. In almost all places except the decimate
and edge split modifiers, I just copied the value of the
"calc_face_normals" argument.

Use a shorter/simpler license convention, stops the header taking so
much space.

By argument naming and convention this is the intended argument order.

This shows the text as part of the assertion message.

Also order sizeof(..) first to promote other values to size_t.

This addresses warnings from Clang-Tidy's `readability-else-after-return`
rule in the `source/blender/blenkernel` module.
No functional changes.

Clang Tidy reported a couple of false positives. I disabled
those `NOLINTNEXTLINE`.

This is related to T76659.
This just renames data type names to `CD_PROP_STRING`, `CD_PROP_FLOAT`
and `CD_PROP_INT32`. It makes them a bit more specific and removes
unnecessary abbreviations.

This implements the main unsubdivide algorithm which rebuilds a base mesh and extracts the grid's data from a high resolution mesh.
It includes the Rebuild Subdivisions operator, which generates all subdivision levels down to the level 0 base mesh.
It supports:
- Rebuilding an arbitrary number of levels (Unsubdivide) or as many levels as possible down to level 0 in a single step (Rebuild Subdivisions).
- Rebuilding with already existing grids.
- Meshes with n-gons and triangles
- Meshes with more than 2 faces per edge
- Base mesh made completely out of triangles
- Meshes without poles
- Meshes with multiple disconnected elements at the same subdivision level
