This option will determine visibility on either render or the viewport
visibility. Same for modifer settings. So it will either evaluate the
depsgrah with DAG_EVAL_RENDER or DAG_EVAL_VIEWPORT.
This not only makes it more flexible, it is also a lot
clearer which visibility / modfier setting is taken into account (up
until now, this was always considered to be DAG_EVAL_RENDER)
This option was always present in the USD exporter, this just brings
Alembic in line with that.

When introduced in {rB61050f75b13e} this was actually working (meaning
it checked the Outliner OB_RESTRICT_RENDER flag and skipped the object if
desired).
Behavior has since then been commented in rBae6e9401abb7 and apparently
refactored out in rB2917df21adc8.
If checked, it seemed to be working (objects marked non-renderable in
the Outliner were pruned from the export), however unchecking that
option did not include them in the export.
Now it changed - for the worse if you like - in rBa95f86359673 which
made it so if "Renderable Objects" only is checked, it will still export
objects invisible in renders. So since we now have the non-functional
option with a broken/misleading default, it is better to just remove it
entirely.
In fact it has been superseeded by the "Visible Objects" option (this
does the same thing: depsgraph is evaluated in render mode) and as a
second step (and to make this even clearer) a choice whether
Render or Viewport evaluation is used can be added (just like the USD
exporter has). When that choice is explicit, it's also clear which
visibility actually matters.
This is breaking API usage, should be in release notes.

Read and write generated coordinates (also known as "original
coordinates", "reference coordinates", or "orcos") from and to Alembic.
A custom geometry property named "Pref" is used for (hopefully)
interoperability with Maya and Houdini. For now it's only guaranteed for
Blender-to-Blender.
Export: writing generated coordinates is optional (on by default).
Import: generated coordinates are always read whenever the reading of
vertex data is enabled.

This was reported for the Triangulate geometry node, but was also true
for the triangulate modifier and in exporters.
Note the modifier was introduced with "Ngon Method" in rBa7b44c82e5b9 but
was renamed to "Polygon Method" in rBf4762eb12ba5.
Since quads are also polygons (and quads have their own method), the
term "N-gon" is more appropriate here and is also described in the
glossary https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/2.92/glossary/
index.html#term-N-gon
Docs have been updated in rBM7539 (partially - the method would also
have to be renamed once this patch lands).
Note this also fixes the wrong enum used for the alembic exporter.

Approximately 138 changes in the spelling of compound words
and proper names like "Light Probe", "Shrink/Fatten", "Face Map".
In many cases, hyphens were used where they aren't correct, like
"re-fit". Other common changes include:
- "Datablock" -> "data-block"
- "Floating point" -> "floating-point"
- "Ngons" -> "n-gons"
These changes help give the language used in the interface
a consistent, more professional feel.

`WM_operator_properties_filesel()` allows C operators to set a display or sort
type for the File Browser to use. But the File Browser would always override
that because of an invalid `_is_set()` check. (The operators don't actually set
the value, they only set the property's default value.)
The only operator affected by this is "Recover Auto Save". It is supposed to
show a vertical list ordered chronologically. It used settings from the
previous File Browser usage before this patch.
Operators using the File Browser should generally use
`FILE_DEFAULTDISPLAY`/`FILE_SORT_DEFAULT` now, except if they have a reason not
to. See comments at their definition.
----
This makes it so operators that set a different display or sort type
don't change the sort or display type for the next File Browser operation.
So using "Recover Auto Save" entirely isolates display and sort type from other
operations.

Write custom properties (aka ID properties) to Alembic, to the
`.userProperties` compound property.
Manifest Task: https://developer.blender.org/T50725
Scalar properties (so single-value/non-array properties) are written as
single-element array properties to Alembic. This is also what's done by
Houdini and Maya exporters, so it seems to be the standard way of doing
things. It also simplifies the implementation.
Two-dimensional arrays are flattened by concatenating all the numbers
into a single array. This is because ID properties have a limited type
system. This means that a 3x3 "matrix" could just as well be a list of
three 3D vectors.
Alembic has two container properties to store custom data:
- `.userProperties`, which is meant for properties that aren't
necessarily understood by other software packages, and
- `.arbGeomParams`, which can contain the same kind of data as
`.userProperties`, but can also specify that these vary per face of a
mesh. This property is mostly intended for renderers.
Most industry packages write their custom data to `.arbGeomParams`.
However, given their goals I feel that `.userProperties` is the more
appropriate one for Blender's ID Properties.
The code is a bit more involved than I would have liked. An
`ABCAbstractWriter` has a `uniqueptr` to its `CustomPropertiesExporter`,
but the `CustomPropertiesExporter` also has a pointer back to its owning
`ABCAbstractWriter`. It's the latter pointer that I'm not too happy
with, but it has a reason. Getting the aforementioned `.userProperties`
from the Alembic library will automatically create it if it doesn't
exist already. If it's not used to actually add custom properties to, it
will crash the Alembic CLI tools (and maybe others too). This is what
the pointer back to the `ABCAbstractWriter` is used for: to get the
`.userProperties` at the last moment, when it's 100% sure at least one
custom property will be written.

Add support for object data instancing. This is used when the objects
are instances, for example when duplicated by a particle system, or
instanced by the duplication system (collection-duplicating empties,
vertex/face duplis, etc.)
Since Alembic already deduplicates data, this doesn't make the resulting
Alembic files any smaller. They will be faster to write, though, when
there is a lot of instanced geometry, as the deduplication system won't
have to do any comparisons.
This instancing support is still limited, in the sense that only object
data is instanced and all transforms are still written explicitly. A
future improvement could be to support instancing entire collection
hierarchies.
Blender's Alembic importer has no understanding of these Alembic
instances yet, and will thus happily duplicate the data on import.
The USD Alembic plugin seems to have problems understanding the
instancing. There might also be other software with similar issues.
Because of this, instancing can be turned off in the exporter (it's on
by default).

Operators are one of the last places in Blender to use older UI designs
that don't fit in with recent style conventions. This commit updates
these custom operator UI callbacks for consistency and clarity.
Some of the code is also simplified a lot. Some of the older operator layouts
were much more complex (in terms of code) than they needed to be.

Re T77754.

Alembic is not a single file format, it can be stored in two different
ways: Ogawa and HDF5. Ogawa replaced HDF5 and is smaller and much faster
(4-25x) to read ([source](http://exocortex.com/blog/alembic_is_about_to_get_really_fast)).
As long as Blender has had Alembic support, it has never supported the
HDF5 format in any release. There is a build option `WITH_ALEMBIC_HDF5`
that can be used to enable HDF5 support in your own build. This commit
removes this build option and the code that it manages.
In the years that I have been maintainer of Blender's Alembic code, I
only remember getting a request to support HDF5 once, and that was to
support very old software that has likely since then been updated to
support Ogawa. Ubuntu and Fedora also seem to bundle Blender without
HDF5 support.
This decision was discussed on
[DevTalk](https://devtalk.blender.org/t/alembic-hdf5-support-completely-remove)
where someone also mentioned that there is a tool available that can
convert HDF5 files to the Ogawa format.

Functionality here has become confusing over time,
this removes duplicate, similar functions, preferring to set the mode
instead of toggle, enter, exit.
Mode switching utility function behaved differently regarding undo,
'ED_object_mode_toggle' for example didn't skip the undo push
where 'ED_object_mode_set' did.
Some callers chose these functions based on the intended undo behavior,
even when toggling didn't make sense.
There was also ED_object_mode_generic_enter which was similar to
ED_object_mode_set, instead of the reverse of ED_object_mode_generic_exit.
Simplify object mode switching internals:
- Replace ED_object_mode_generic_enter with ED_object_mode_set.
- Remove ED_object_mode_toggle as nearly all callers needed to check
the current mode so toggling would set the mode argument correctly.
- Use ED_object_mode_set for the object mode switching operator
to simplify logic.
- Add ED_object_mode_set_ex which has an argument to disable undo,
needed when loading undo data needs to set the mode.
- Remove unused ED_object_mode_exit.

It's now possible to export curves and NURBS as mesh data to Alembic.
This allows artists to do any crazy thing on curves and export the
visual result to Alembic for interoperability with other software (or
caching for later use, etc.). It's an often-requested feature.
This works around T60503 and the fixes export part of T51311.
Note that exporting zero-width curves is currently not supported, as
exporting a faceless mesh (e.g. just edges and vertices) is not
supported by the mesh writer at all.
To test, create a curve with thickness (for example extruded), export to
Alembic and check the 'Curves to Mesh' checkbox in the export options.

This is similar to what physics baking is doing: invoking the operator
runs a background job, whereas executing blocks. This makes Python
scripts calling the Alembic import/export operators more predictable.
For backwardward compatibility with existing Python code the
`as_background_job` parameter still exists, which overrides the
behaviour chosen by INVOKE/EXECUTE.

The old default values (start/end frame = 1) could have been an actually
desired setting (for example when exporting a non-animated model). To
make this worse, this was only interpreted as "start/end of the scene" by
the export operator when running interactively, but not when run from
Python.
By choosing INT_MIN as default it's highly unlikely that the interval
[start, end) was intended as actual export range.

The ABC_export and ABC_import functions both take a as_background_job
parameter, and return a boolean.
When as_background_job=true, returns false immediately after scheduling
a background job. This was the old behaviour of this function, which makes
it very hard for scripts to do something with the data after the import
or export completes.
When as_background_job=false, performs the export synchronously, and
returns true when the export was ok, and false if there were any errors.
This allows further processing.
The Scene.alembic_export() function is deprecated, and will be removed from
Blender 2.8 in favour of calling the bpy.ops.wm.alembic_export() operator.
As such, it has been hard-coded to the old background job behaviour.
