Override layers are a standard feature of Alembic, where archives can override
data from other archives, provided that the hierarchies match.
This is useful for modifying a UV map, updating an animation, or even creating
some sort of LOD system where low resolution meshes are swapped by high resolution
versions.
It is possible to add UV maps and vertex colors using this system, however, they
will only appear in the spreadsheet editor when viewing evaluated data, as the UV
map and Vertex color UI only show data present on the original mesh.
Implementation wise, this adds a `CacheFileLayer` data structure to the `CacheFile`
DNA, as well as some operators and UI to present and manage the layers. For both
the Alembic importer and the Cycles procedural, the main change is creating an
archive from a list of filepaths, instead of a single one.
After importing the base file through the regular import operator, layers can be added
to or removed from the `CacheFile` via the UI list under the `Override Layers` panel
located in the Mesh Sequence Cache modifier. Layers can also be moved around or
hidden.

For now the old Python exporter remains in the menu, along with
the Python importer, but we plan to remove it soon (leaving the

The current behavior of the Alembic importer is to only create a
`MeshSequenceCache` modifier or a `Transform Cache` constraint to imported
objects if they have some animated properties.
Since static objects do not have a cache reader, when reloading files those
objects are not updated. Currently, the only way to properly reload a file
because of this is to reimport it.
This adds an option to the importer to always add a cache reader, even if
there is no animated data, to ensure that all objects coming from Alembic
archive are linked to them and updated properly upon reloads.

This is an initial implementation of a USD importer.
This work is comprised of Tangent Animation's open source USD importer,
combined with features @makowalski had implemented.
The design is very similar to the approach taken in the Alembic
importer. The core functionality resides in a collection of "reader"
classes, each of which is responsible for converting an instance of a
USD prim to the corresponding Blender Object representation.
The flow of control for the conversion can be followed in the
`import_startjob()` and `import_endjob()` functions in `usd_capi.cc`.
The `USDStageReader` class is responsible for traversing the USD stage
and instantiating the appropriate readers.

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.

Inlude:
* Export SVG
* Export PDF (always from camera view)
* Import SVG
The import and export only support solid colors and not gradients or textures.
Requires libharu and pugixml.
For importing SVG, the NanoSVG lib is used, but this does not require installation (just a .h file embedded in the project folder)

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.

`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).

The fix for T75936 made it possible to export invisible objects to
Alembic. This commit applies the same approach to the USD exporter.
The USD and Alembic code is slightly different in terms of where in the
exported file the visibility attribute is stored. In USD the visibility
is used to prune the scene graph, and thus there are only two options:
"hidden" and "inherited". Setting the visiblity of a node in the scene
graph to "hidden" immediately hides all its children. To allow hidden
parents with visible children, the visibility is stored on the object
data (so the geometry/camera/lamp/etc) instead.

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.
