This is the conventional way of dealing with unused arguments in C++,
since it works on all compilers.
Regex find and replace: `UNUSED\((\w+)\)` -> `/*$1*/`

Using the attribute name semantics from T97452, this patch moves the
selection status of mesh elements from the `SELECT` of vertices, and
edges, and the `ME_FACE_SEL` of faces to generic boolean attribute
Storing this data as generic attributes can significantly simplify and
improve code, as described in T95965.
The attributes are called `.select_vert`, `.select_edge`, and
`.select_poly`. 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.
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 selection is used. When the flags are removed
completely, requirements will decrease.
Further notes:
* The `MVert` flag is empty at runtime now, so it can be ignored.
* `BMesh` is unchanged, otherwise the change would be much larger.
* Many tests have slightly different results, since the selection
attribute uses more generic propagation. Previously you couldn't
really rely on edit mode selections being propagated procedurally.
Now it mostly works as expected.

Replace `mesh_attributes`, `mesh_attributes_for_write` and the point
cloud versions with methods on the `Mesh` and `PointCloud` types.
This makes them friendlier to use and improves readability.

Follows existing naming for the most part, also use "num" as a suffix
in some instances (following our naming conventions).
|
|
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).

Currently, there are two attribute API. The first, defined in `BKE_attribute.h` is
accessible from RNA and C code. The second is implemented with `GeometryComponent`
and is only accessible in C++ code. The second is widely used, but only being
accessible through the `GeometrySet` API makes it awkward to use, and even impossible
for types that don't correspond directly to a geometry component like `CurvesGeometry`.
This patch adds a new attribute API, designed to replace the `GeometryComponent`
attribute API now, and to eventually replace or be the basis of the other one.
The basic idea is that there is an `AttributeAccessor` class that allows code to
interact with a set of attributes owned by some geometry. The accessor itself has
no ownership. `AttributeAccessor` is a simple type that can be passed around by
value. That makes it easy to return it from functions and to store it in containers.
For const-correctness, there is also a `MutableAttributeAccessor` that allows
changing individual and can add or remove attributes.
Currently, `AttributeAccessor` is composed of two pointers. The first is a pointer
to the owner of the attribute data. The second is a pointer to a struct with
function pointers, that is similar to a virtual function table. The functions
know how to access attributes on the owner.
The actual attribute access for geometries is still implemented with the `AttributeProvider`
pattern, which makes it easy to support different sources of attributes on a
geometry and simplifies dealing with built-in attributes.
There are different ways to get an attribute accessor for a geometry:
* `GeometryComponent.attributes()`
* `CurvesGeometry.attributes()`
* `bke::mesh_attributes(const Mesh &)`
* `bke::pointcloud_attributes(const PointCloud &)`
All of these also have a `_for_write` variant that returns a `MutabelAttributeAccessor`.

* Make the class names more consistent.
* Implement missing move-constructors and assignment-operators.

This makes calculation of selected indices slightly faster when the
input is a virtual array (the direct output of various nodes like
Face Area, etc). The utility can be helpful for other areas that
need to find selected indices besides field evaluation.
With the face area node used as a selection with 4 million faces,
the speedup is 3.51 ms to 3.39 ms, just a slight speedup.

All of the operators in vertex paint mode didn't work properly with
the new color attribute system. They only worked on byte color type
attributes on the face corner domain.
Since there are four possible combinations of domains and types now,
it mostly ended up being simpler to convert the code to C++ and use
the geometry component API for retrieving attributes, interpolating
between domains, etc. The code changes ended up being fairly large,
but the result should be simpler now.
