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).

This commit moves the hide status of mesh vertices, edges, and faces
from the `ME_FLAG` to optional generic boolean attributes. Storing this
data as generic attributes can significantly simplify and improve code,
as described in T95965.
The attributes are called `.hide_vert`, `.hide_edge`, and `.hide_poly`,
using the attribute name semantics discussed in T97452. The `.` prefix
means they are "UI attributes", so they still contain original data
edited by users, but they aren't meant to be accessed procedurally by
the user in arbitrary situations. They are also be hidden in the
spreadsheet and the attribute list by default,
Until 4.0, the attributes are still written to and read from the mesh
in the old way, so neither forward nor backward compatibility are
affected. This means memory requirements will be increased by one byte
per element when the hide status is used. When the flags are removed
completely, requirements will decrease when hiding is unused.
Further notes:
* Some code can be further simplified to skip some processing when the
hide attributes don't exist.
* The data is still stored in flags for `BMesh`, necessitating some
complexity in the conversion to and from `Mesh`.
* Access to the "hide" property of mesh elements in RNA is slower.
The separate boolean arrays should be used where possible.

This adds vertex creasing support for OpenSubDiv for modeling, rendering,
Alembic and USD I/O.
For modeling, vertex creasing follows the edge creasing implementation with an
operator accessible through the Vertex menu in Edit Mode, and some parameter in
the properties panel. The option in the Subsurf and Multires to use edge
creasing also affects vertex creasing.
The vertex crease data is stored as a CustomData layer, unlike edge creases
which for now are stored in `MEdge`, but will in the future also be moved to
a `CustomData` layer. See comments for details on the difference in behavior
for the `CD_CREASE` layer between egdes and vertices.
For Cycles this adds sockets on the Mesh node to hold data about which vertices
are creased (one socket for the indices, one for the weigths).
Viewport rendering of vertex creasing reuses the same color scheme as for edges
and creased vertices are drawn bigger than uncreased vertices.
For Alembic and USD, vertex crease support follows the edge crease
implementation, they are always read, but only exported if a `Subsurf` modifier
is present on the Mesh.

Makes it so conversion is centralized in a single place.
We might consider removing any conversion, passing value as-is which
will be easier for I/O scripts to match crease. The downside of that
would be loose of control range in certain qualities and values of
crease.
There shouldn't be any functional changes in this commit.

This is something where there is no single correct behavior,
sometimes it's needed to ignore the crease to make mesh more
smooth. But sometimes crease is to be considered after first
subdivision surface: for example, when adding extra subdivisions
for render-time displacement.
Made it an option whether modifier needs to take crease into
account or not.
Existing files should be openable in the 2.7 compatible way,
to re-create an old behavior the options is to be manually
disabled in the modifier settings.

This seems to be a bug in OpenSubdiv. For now simply use Catmark
subdivision scheme with infinitely sharp edges.
Later on it's either gets fixed in OpenSubdiv or we do bilinear
subdivision on our side.

Only affects internal API, bout could be exposed as an option for
the compatibility reasons with other software.
Is a part of some ongoing development of multires, but might or
might not be used.
|

C-API is way smaller than the rest of the code which uses it.
So better to conditionally compile stub implementation than
to keep adding ifdef everywhere.
|
|
Enabled infinite sharp patches for topology refiner and evaluator,
which allows to have sharp edge at first subdivision level.
Also tweaked crease export from Blender to OpenSubdiv to have more
artistic control over the whole 0..1 range.

Before that it was only first UV layer which was properly evaluated,
the rest were ignored. Now all layers are being properly handled.

Currently unused, added for the future and API completeness.

The idea is simple: do not provide full topology to OpenSubdiv, leave
edges creation to OpenSubdiv itself. This solves issues with non-manifold
meshes which were known to fail, including the ones from T52059.
On a positive side we can simplify our side of converter, keeping code
shorter.
it is still possible that we'll need to ensure all loops has same
winding, but that is less things to worry about.

Applies to vertices and edges. Biggest annoyance here is that OpenSubdiv's
topology converter expects that there is no loose geometry, otherwise it
is getting confused.
For now solution is to create some sort of mapping from real Mesh vertex
and edge index to a non-loose-index. Now the annoying part is that this
is an extra step to calculate before we can compare topology, meaning FPS
will not be as great as if we knew for sure that topology didn't change.
Loose edges subdivision is different from what it used to be with old
subdivision code, but probably nice feature now is that endpoints of loose
edges are stay at the coarse vertex locations. This allows to have things
like plane with hair strands, without need to duplicate edge vertices at
endpoints.
All this required some re-work of topology refiner creation, which is now
only passing edges and vertices which are adjacent to face. This is how
topology refiner is supposed to be used, and this is how its validator
also works. Vertices which are adjacent to loose edges are marked as
infinite sharp. This seems to be good-enough approximation for now. In the
future we might tweaks things a bit and push such vertices in average
direction of loose edges, to match old subdivision code closer.

The idea is to use this as a replacement of old CCG, now it is
based on OpenSubdiv. The goal is to reduce any possible overhead
which was happening with OpenSubdiv used by CCG.
Currently implemented/supported:
- Creation from mesh, including topology on OpenSubdiv side,
its refinement.
- Evaluation of limit point, first order derivatives, normal,
and face-varying data for individual coarse position.
- Evaluation of whole patches.
Currently not optimized, uses evaluation of individual coarse
positions.
- Creation of Mesh from subdiv, with all geometry being real:
all mvert, medge, mloop, and mpoly.
This includes custom data interpolation, but all faces currently
are getting separated (they are converted to ptex patches, which
we need to weld back together).
Still need to support lighter weights grids and such, but this
is already a required part to have subsurf working in the middle
of modifier stack.
Annoying part is ifdef all over the place, to keep it compilable
when OpenSubdiv is disabled. More cleaner approach would be to
have stub API for OpenSubdiv, so everything gets ifdef-ed in a
much fewer places.
