This implements the new way to attach curves to a mesh surface using
a uv map (based on the recent discussion in T95776).
The curves data block now not only stores a reference to the surface object
but also a name of a uv map on that object. Having a uv map is optional
for most operations, but it will be required later for animation (when the
curves are supposed to be deformed based on deformation of the surface).
The "Empty Hair" operator in the Add menu sets the uv map name automatically
if possible. It's possible to start working without a uv map and to attach the
curves to a uv map later on. It's also possible to reattach the curves to a new
uv map using the "Curves > Snap to Nearest Surface" operator in curves sculpt
mode.
Note, the implementation to do the reverse lookup from uv to a position on the
surface is trivial and inefficient now. A more efficient data structure will be
implemented separately soon.

This optimization should be restored when there is proper vizualization
for the selection attributes.

This commit adds a float selection to curve control points or curves,
a sculpt tool to paint the selection, and uses the selection influence
in the existing sculpt brushes.
The selection is the inverse of the "mask" from mesh sculpt mode
currently. That change is described in more detail here: T97903
Since some sculpt tools are really "per curve" tools, they use the
average point selection of all of their points. The delete brush
considers a curve selected if any of its points have a non-zero
selection.
There is a new option to choose the selection domain, which affects how
painting the selection works. You can also turn the selection off by
clicking on the active domain.
Sculpt brushes can be faster when the selection is small, because
finding selected curves or points is generally faster than the
existing brush intersection and distance checks.
The main limitation currently is that we can't see the selection in the
viewport by default. For now, to see the selection one has to add a
simple material to the curves object as shown in the differential
revision. And one has to switch to Material Preview in the 3d view.

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.

curves_ops.cc uses RNA_Prototypes.h. so bf_rna
needs to build before bf_editor_curves.

This creates a new curves object with the name of the particle system.
The generated curves match the current evaluated state of the active hair
particle system.
Attachment information is not transferred currently.

This operator snaps the first point of every curve to the corresponding
surface object. The shape of individual curves or their orientation is
not changed.
There are two different attachment modes:
* `Nearest`: Move each curve so that the first point is on the closest
point on the surface. This should be used when the topology of the
surface mesh changed, but the shape generally stayed the same.
* `Deform`: Use the existing attachment information that is stored
for curves to move curves to their new location when the surface
mesh was deformed. This generally does not work when the
topology changed.
The purpose of the operator is to help setup the "ground truth"
for how curves are attached to the surface. When the ground
truth surface changed, the original curves have to be updated
as well. Deforming curves based on an animated surface will be
done with geometry nodes independent of the operator.
In the UI, the operator is currently exposed in curves sculpt mode
in the `Curves > Snap Curves to Surface` menu.

Add "for_write" on function names that retrieve mutable data arrays.
Though this makes function names longer, it's likely worth it because
it allows more easily using the const functions in a non-const context,
and reduces cases of mistakenly retrieving with edit access.
In the long term, this situation might change more if we implement
attributes storage that is accessible directly on `CurvesGeometry`
without duplicating the attribute API on geometry components,
which is currently the rough plan.

This adds a new operator that converts all selected curves objects
into hair particle systems on their respective surface objects. Existing
particle systems with the correct name are updated, otherwise a new
particle system is added.
The purpose of the operator is the make the new curve sculpting tools
useful even before all functionality is ported over from the old hair system.
The operator can be found in the `Object > Convert` menu in object mode,
when a curves object is active.

A follow-up to e253f9f66d6f. Follow the policy from T85728
completely (using "num" as a prefix) and rename another function.
|
|
Rename "size" variables and functions to use "num" instead,
based on T85728 (though this doesn't apply to simple C++
containers, it applies here). Rename "range" to "points" in
some functions, so be more specific.

Currently, any time a Curves data-block is created, the `curves_random`
function runs, filling it with 500 random curves, also adding a radius
attribute. This is just left over from the prototype in the initial
commit that added the type.
This commit moves the code that creates the random data to the curve
editors module, like the other primitives are organized.

This is necessary, because the operator will have to use functions that
are currently private within this module. E.g. `paint_cursor_start`.

This adds the boilerplate code that is necessary to use the tool/brush/paint
systems in the new sculpt curves mode.
Two temporary dummy tools are part of this patch. They do nothing and
only serve to test the boilerplate. When the first actual tool is added,
those dummy tools will be removed.

This adds a new sculpt mode to the experimental new curves object.
Currently, this mode can only be entered and exited, nothing else.
The main initial purpose of this node will be to use it for hair grooming.
The patch also adds the `editors/curves/` directory for the new curves
object, which will be necessary for many other things as well.
I added a completely new mode (`OB_MODE_SCULPT_CURVES`), because
`OB_MODE_SCULPT` seems to be rather specific to meshes, and reusing
it doesn't seem worth the trouble. The tools/brushes used in mesh vs.
curves sculpt mode are quite distinct as well.
I had to add DNA_userdef_enums.h to make the patch compile with C++
(forward declaration of enums isn't allowed). This follows the same
pattern that we use for other enums in dna.
