Knowing when layers are retrieved for write access will be essential
when adding proper copy-on-write support. This commit makes that
clearer by adding `const` where the retrieved data is not modified.

These kinds of depsgraph evaluations should not be marked as low priority as
this could negatively affect playback performance. Low priority should mainly
be used for background tasks.

child_nbr was used as a percentage as well as the final

As described in T91186, this commit moves mesh vertex normals into a
contiguous array of float vectors in a custom data layer, how face
normals are currently stored.
The main interface is documented in `BKE_mesh.h`. Vertex and face
normals are now calculated on-demand and cached, retrieved with an
"ensure" function. Since the logical state of a mesh is now "has
normals when necessary", they can be retrieved from a `const` mesh.
The goal is to use on-demand calculation for all derived data, but
leave room for eager calculation for performance purposes (modifier
evaluation is threaded, but viewport data generation is not).
**Benefits**
This moves us closer to a SoA approach rather than the current AoS
paradigm. Accessing a contiguous `float3` is much more efficient than
retrieving data from a larger struct. The memory requirements for
accessing only normals or vertex locations are smaller, and at the
cost of more memory usage for just normals, they now don't have to
be converted between float and short, which also simplifies code
In the future, the remaining items can be removed from `MVert`,
leaving only `float3`, which has similar benefits (see T93602).
Removing the combination of derived and original data makes it
conceptually simpler to only calculate normals when necessary.
This is especially important now that we have more opportunities
for temporary meshes in geometry nodes.
**Performance**
In addition to the theoretical future performance improvements by
making `MVert == float3`, I've done some basic performance testing
on this patch directly. The data is fairly rough, but it gives an idea
about where things stand generally.
- Mesh line primitive 4m Verts: 1.16x faster (36 -> 31 ms),
showing that accessing just `MVert` is now more efficient.
- Spring Splash Screen: 1.03-1.06 -> 1.06-1.11 FPS, a very slight
change that at least shows there is no regression.
- Sprite Fright Snail Smoosh: 3.30-3.40 -> 3.42-3.50 FPS, a small
but observable speedup.
- Set Position Node with Scaled Normal: 1.36x faster (53 -> 39 ms),
shows that using normals in geometry nodes is faster.
- Normal Calculation 1.6m Vert Cube: 1.19x faster (25 -> 21 ms),
shows that calculating normals is slightly faster now.
- File Size of 1.6m Vert Cube: 1.03x smaller (214.7 -> 208.4 MB),
Normals are not saved in files, which can help with large meshes.
As for memory usage, it may be slightly more in some cases, but
I didn't observe any difference in the production files I tested.
**Tests**
Some modifiers and cycles test results need to be updated with this
commit, for two reasons:
- The subdivision surface modifier is not responsible for calculating
normals anymore. In master, the modifier creates different normals
than the result of the `Mesh` normal calculation, so this is a bug
fix.
- There are small differences in the results of some modifiers that
use normals because they are not converted to and from `short`
anymore.
**Future improvements**
- Remove `ModifierTypeInfo::dependsOnNormals`. Code in each modifier
already retrieves normals if they are needed anyway.
- Copy normals as part of a better CoW system for attributes.
- Make more areas use lazy instead of eager normal calculation.
- Remove `BKE_mesh_normals_tag_dirty` in more places since that is
now the default state of a new mesh.
- Possibly apply a similar change to derived face corner normals.

When enabling or disabling a Mesh Sequence Cache modifier of an Object
with a hair particle system, the hair would switch positions. This is
caused because original coordinates in Blender are expected to be
normalized, and toggling the modifier would cause the usage of different
orco layers: one that is normalized, and the other which isn't.
This bug exposes a few related issues:
- if the Alembic file did not have orco data,
`MOD_deform_mesh_eval_get`, used by the particle system modifier, would
add an orco layer without normalization
- `MOD_deform_mesh_eval_get` would also ignore the presence of an orco
layer (e.g. one that could have been read from Alembic)
- if the Alembic file did have orco data, the data would be read
unnormalized
To fix those various issues, original coordinates are normalized when
read from Alembic and unnormalized when written to Alembic; and a new
utility function `BKE_mesh_orco_ensure` is added to add a normalized
orco layer if none exists on the mesh already, this function derives
from the code used in the particle system.

After looking into task isolation issues with Sergey, we couldn't find the
reason behind the deadlocks that we are getting in T87938 and a Sprite Fright
file involving motion blur renders.
There is no apparent place where we adding or waiting on tasks in a task group
from different isolation regions, which is what is known to cause problems. Yet
it still hangs. Either we do not understand some limitation of TBB isolation,
or there is a bug in TBB, but we could not figure it out.
Instead the idea is to use isolation only where we know we need it: when
holding a mutex lock and then doing some multithreaded operation within that
locked region. Three places where we do this now:
* Generated images
* Cached BVH tree building
* OpenVDB lazy grid loading
Compared to the more automatic approach previously used, there is the downside
that it is easy to miss places where we need isolation. Yet doing it more
automatically is also causing unexpected issue and bugs that we found no
solution for, so this seems better.
Patch implemented by Sergey and me.

Under some circumstances using task isolation can cause deadlocks.
Previously, our task pool implementation would run all tasks in an
isolated region. Now using task isolation is optional and can be
turned on/off for individual task pools.
Task pools that spawn new tasks recursively should never enable
task isolation. There is a new check that finds these cases at runtime.
Right now this check is disabled, so that this commit is a pure refactor.
It will be enabled in an upcoming commit.
This fixes T88598.

This patch enables TBB as the default task scheduler. TBB stands for Threading Building Blocks and is developed by Intel. The library contains several threading patters. This patch maps blenders BLI_task_* function to their counterpart. After this patch we can add more patterns. A promising one is TBB:graph that can be used for depsgraph, draw manager and compositor.
Performance changes depends on the actual hardware. It was tested on different hardwares from laptops to workstations and we didn't detected any downgrade of the performance.

Since this change was not sufficient to get original report fixed
is easier to simply revert for now.

Turns out most of our 'local working copy' cases can use same set of
flags.
Note that this commit adds LIB_ID_COPY_CACHES to all our local meshes

copying... We may want to add another set of flags without that one at
some point, but for now it would not be useful imho.

- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.

This is a second attempt to get the crash fixed. The original fix
worked, but it was reverted by d3e0d7f0825.
Now the logic goes as:
- All pointers which we can not have shared (the ones which are
owned by the runtime) are cleared.
- The rest of runtime stays untouched.
This seems to be enough to keep particles happy.
