When a change happens which invalidates view layers the syncing will be postponed until the first usage.
This will improve importing or adding many objects in a single operation/script.
`BKE_view_layer_need_resync_tag` is used to tag the view layer to be out of sync. Before accessing
`BKE_view_layer_active_base_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_object_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_collection`
or `BKE_view_layer_object_bases` the caller should call `BKE_view_layer_synced_ensure`.
Having two functions ensures that partial syncing could be added as smaller patches in the future. Tagging a
view layer out of sync could be replaced with a partial sync. Eventually the number of full resyncs could be
reduced. After all tagging has been replaced with partial syncs the ensure_sync could be phased out.
This patch has been added to discuss the details and consequences of the current approach. For clarity
the call to BKE_view_layer_ensure_sync is placed close to the getters.
In the future this could be placed in more strategical places to reduce the number of calls or improve
performance. Finding those strategical places isn't that clear. When multiple operations are grouped
in a single script you might want to always check for resync.
Some areas found that can be improved. This list isn't complete.
These areas aren't addressed by this patch as these changes would be hard to detect to the reviewer.
The idea is to add changes to these areas as a separate patch. It might be that the initial commit would reduce
performance compared to master, but will be fixed by the additional patches.
**Object duplication**
During object duplication the syncing is temporarily disabled. With this patch this isn't useful as when disabled
the view_layer is accessed to locate bases. This can be improved by first locating the source bases, then duplicate
and sync and locate the new bases. Will be solved in a separate patch for clarity reasons ({D15886}).
**Object add**
`BKE_object_add` not only adds a new object, but also selects and activates the new base. This requires the
view_layer to be resynced. Some callers reverse the selection and activation (See `get_new_constraint_target`).
We should make the selection and activation optional. This would make it possible to add multiple objects
without having to resync per object.
**Postpone Activate Base**
Setting the basact is done in many locations. They follow a rule as after an action find the base and set
the basact. Finding the base could require a resync. The idea is to store in the view_layer the object which
base will be set in the basact during the next sync, reducing the times resyncing needs to happen.

The internal state tracking is not fully suited for such kind
of optimization yet.
It is probably not that much work to make them work, but the
issue caused by the changes is serious enough for the studio
so it feels better to revert changes for now and have a closer
look into remaining issues without pressure.

A regression since ac20970bc208
The issue was caused by depsgraph clearing all id->recalc flags
wrongly assuming that all IDs are fully evaluated.
This change makes it so the depsgraph becomes aware of possibly
incompletely evaluated IDs.

This refactors the geometry nodes evaluation system. No changes for the
user are expected. At a high level the goals are:
* Support using geometry nodes outside of the geometry nodes modifier.
* Support using the evaluator infrastructure for other purposes like field evaluation.
* Support more nodes, especially when many of them are disabled behind switch nodes.
* Support doing preprocessing on node groups.
For more details see T98492.
There are fairly detailed comments in the code, but here is a high level overview
for how it works now:
* There is a new "lazy-function" system. It is similar in spirit to the multi-function
system but with different goals. Instead of optimizing throughput for highly
parallelizable work, this system is designed to compute only the data that is actually
necessary. What data is necessary can be determined dynamically during evaluation.
Many lazy-functions can be composed in a graph to form a new lazy-function, which can
again be used in a graph etc.
* Each geometry node group is converted into a lazy-function graph prior to evaluation.
To evaluate geometry nodes, one then just has to evaluate that graph. Node groups are
no longer inlined into their parents.
Next steps for the evaluation system is to reduce the use of threads in some situations
to avoid overhead. Many small node groups don't benefit from multi-threading at all.
This is much easier to do now because not everything has to be inlined in one huge
node tree anymore.

If the RNA path of a Single Property variable goes through a pointer
to a different ID, the property should be attached to that ID using
the owner reference in the RNA pointer. This already happened when
building some, but not all of the relations and nodes.
This patch fixes the remaining cases.

Solves long-standing issue when dependencies of disabled modifiers are
evaluated.
Simple test case: no drivers or animation. Manually enabling modifier
is expected to bring FPS up, enabling modifier will bring FPS (sine
evaluation can not be avoided)
F13336690
More complex test case: modifier visibility is driven by an animated
property. In am ideal world FPS during property being zero is fast
and when property is 1 the FPS is low.

Adds `rna_path.cc` and `RNA_path.h`.
`rna_access.c` is a quite big file, which makes it rather hard and
inconvenient to navigate. RNA path functions form a nicely coherent unit
that can stand well on it's own, so it makes sense to split them off to
mitigate the problem. Moreover, I was looking into refactoring the quite
convoluted/overloaded `rna_path_parse()`, and found that some C++
features may help greatly with that. So having that code compile in C++
would be helpful to attempt that.

The issue was caused by the fact that objects with driven or animated
visibility were considered visible by the dependency graph evaluation.
This change makes it so the dependency graph evaluation is aware of
visibility which might be changing. This is achieved by evaluating the
path of the graph which affects objects visibility and adjusts to it
before evaluating the rest of the graph.
There is some time penalty to this, but there does not seem to be a
way to fully avoid this penalty.
With the production shot from the heist project the FPS drops by a
tenth of a frame (~9.4 vs ~9.3 fps) when adding a driver to an object
which keeps it visible. Note that this is a bit hard to measure since
the FPS fluctuates quite a bit throughout the playback. On the other
hand, having a driver on a visibility of a heavy object from character
and setting visibility to false gives big speedup.
Also worth noting that there is no penalty at all when there are no
animated visibilities in the scene.

Semantically it is more correct as the cache does not modify the ID.
There is need to do couple of const casts since the BKE (which is in C)
does not easily allow to iterate into f-curves of const ID.
Should be no functional changes.

Move it from generic visibility handling to the synchronization

Even if the driver is not dependent on time the modifiers were always
re-evaluated during playback. This is due to the legacy nature of the
check whether modifier depends on time or not: it was simply checking
for sub-string match for modifier in the F-Curve and drivers RNA paths.
Nowadays such dependencies are created by the dependency graph builder,
which allows to have more granular control over what depends on what.
The code is now simplified to only check for "static" dependency of the
modifier form time: for example, Wave modifier which always depends on
time (even without explicit animation involved).
This change also fixes missing relation from the animation component to
the shader_fx modifiers, fixing race condition.
Additional files used to verify relations:
- Geometry: F13257368
- Grease Pencil: F13257369
- Shader FX: F13257370
In these files different types of modifiers have an animated property,
and the purpose of the test is to verify that the modifiers do react
to the animation and that there is a relation between animation and
geometry components of the object. The latter one can only be checked
using the dependency graph relation visualization.
The drivers are not tested by these files. Those are not typically
depend on time, and if there were missing relation from driver to
the modifier we'd receive a bug report already. As well as if there
was a bug in missing time relation to a driver we'd also receive a
report.

Active camera is a property of Scene, so need to take scene changes into
account for such drivers to work reliably.
The fix covers all the common cases of such configurations, but some of
them might not be yet fully supported. Mainly cases when the target ID
is not covered by the copy-on-write mechanism.
There is a fuller explanation available in the code for the ease of reading
by the future generations.

Instead of directly accessing constraint-specific callbacks
in code all over blender, introduce two wrappers to retrieve
and free the target list.
This incidentally revealed a place within the Collada exporter
in BCAnimationSampler.cpp that didn't clean up after retrieving
the targets, resulting in a small memory leak. Fixing this should
be the only functional change in this commit.
This was split off from D9732.

`bNodeTree` has a lot of run-time embedded in it currently. Having a separately
allocated run-time struct has some benefits:
* Run-time data is not stored in files.
* Makes it easy to use c++ types as run-time data.
* More clear distinction between what data only exists at run-time and which doesn't.
This commit doesn't move all run-time data to the new struct yet, only the data where
I know for sure how it is used. The remaining data can be moved separately.

This is a regression caused by a230445caec6.
The internal cause of the issue was that the synchronization component
was no longer tagged as visible (and hence not evaluated) as it not
connected to any directly visible IDs.
Changed the logic in a way that if any component of an ID is evaluated
the synchronization component will be evaluated as well.
The naming of the flag in the component node is a bit confusing, but
for the simplicity of the change for the upcoming release left it
unchanged.

The goal is to make it easier to track down sources of errors during
the dependency graph builder.
With this change whenever a relation can not be added a trace to the
entity which requested the relation will be printed. For example:
```
Failed to add relation "Copy Location"
Could not find op_from: OperationKey(type: BONE, component name: 'MissingBone', operation code: BONE_DONE)
Trace:
Depth Type Name
----- ---- ----
1 Object Armature.001
2 Pose Channel Bone
3 Constraint Copy Location
```
On an implementation detail traced places where `checkIsBuiltAndTag`
is called, with some additional places to help tracking pose channels,
constraints, and modifiers.
Further improvements in granularity are possible, but that could happen
as a followup development once the core part is proven to work.
An example of such improvement would be to have entries in the trace
which will indicate NLA and drivers building. Currently it might be
a bit confusing to see IDs in the trace referenced from driver.
Even with such limitation the current state of the patch brings a
very valuable information (some information is much better than no
information at all).

Previously, the depsgraph assumed that every node tree might contain
a reference to a video. This resulted noticeable overhead when there
was no video.
Checking whether a node tree contained a video was relatively expensive
to do in the depsgraph. It is cheaper now due to the structure of the new
node tree updater.
This also adds an additional run-time field to `bNodeTree` (there are
quite a few already). We should move those to a separate run-time
struct, but not as part of a bug fix.

Fix a crash when a driver variable targets an object and uses
`data.shape_keys.key["name"].value` in its expression.
The fix consists of adding an extra relation from the targeted object's
`GEOMETRY` component to the driver evaluation. This ensures that its
`data` pointer has been evaluated by the depsgraph and is safe to
follow.
This also resolves the concern raised on rB56407432a6aa.

Originally was noticed when using a linked background scene and a scene
camera from another (local) scene.
The root issue was that relation from view layer to object's base flags
evaluation was using wrong view layer. This is because the relation was
created between object and currently built view layer, and it only was
happening once (since the object-level relations are only built once).
Depending on order in which `build_object` was called it was possible
that relation from a wrong view layer was used.
Now the code is better split to indicate which parts of object relations
are built when object comes from a base in the view layer, and which ones
are built on indirect linking of object to the dependency graph.
This patch makes relations correct in the cases when the same object is
used as a base in both active and set scenes. But, the operation which
handles object-level flags might not behave correctly as there is no
known design of what is the proper thing to do in this case. Making a
clear design and implementation of case when object is shared between
active and set scene is outside of the scope of this patch.

The Alembic procedural was only enabled during viewport renders
originally because it did not have any caching strategy. Now that
is does, we can allow its usage in final renders.
This also removes the `dag_eval_mode` argument passing to
`ModifierTypeInfo.dependsOnTime` which was originally added to detect if
we are doing a viewport render for enabling the procedural.

have to be added manually anymore.
