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.

This is very similar to D14077. There are two differences though.
First is that vertex creases are already stored in a separate layer,
and second is that we can now completely remove use of `Mesh.cd_flag`,
since that information is now inherent to whether the layers exist.
There are two functional differences here:
* Operators are used to add and remove layers instead of a property.
* The "crease" attribute can be created and removed by geometry nodes.
The second change should make various geometry nodes slightly faster,
since the "crease" attribute was always processed before. Creases are
now interpolated generically in the CustomData API too, which should
help maintain the values across edits better.
Meshes get an `edge_creases` RNA property like the existing vertex
property, to provide more efficient access to the data in Cycles.
One test failure is expected, where different rounding between float
the old char storage means that 5 additional points are scattered in
a geometry nodes test.

This is the last node to use the `CurveEval` type. Since the curve to
points node is basically the same as the resample node, now it just
reuses the resample code and moves the curve point `CustomData` to a
new point cloud at the end. I had to add support for sampling tangents
and normals to the resampling.
There is one behavior change: If the radius attribute doesn't exist,
the node won't set the radius to 1 for the output point cloud anymore.
Instead, the default radius for point clouds will be used.
That issue was similar to T99814.

Add new functions to `array_utils` namespace called `gather(..)`.
Versions of `GVArray::materialize_compressed_to_uninitialized(..)` with
threading have been reimplemented locally in multiple geometry node
contexts. The purpose of this patch is therefore to:
* Assemble these implementations in a single file.
* Provide a naming convention that is easier to recognize.

The trim functionality is implemented in the geometry module, and
generalized a bit to be potentially useful for bisecting in the future.
The implementation is based on a helper type called `IndexRangeCyclic`
which allows iteration over all control points between two points on a
curve.
Catmull Rom curves are now supported-- trimmed without resampling first.
However, maintaining the exact shape is not possible. NURBS splines are
still converted to polylines using the evaluated curve concept.
Performance is equivalent or faster then a 3.1 build with regards to
node timings. Compared to 3.3 and 3.2, it's easy to observe test cases
where the node is at least 3 or 4 times faster.

When resizing mesh and curves attribute storage, avoid initializing the
new memory for basic types. Also, avoid skipping "no free" layers; all
layers should be reallocated to the new size since they may be accessed.
The semantics introduced in 25237d2625078c6d1 are essential for this
change, because otherwise we don't have a way to construct non-trivial
types in the new memory.
In a basic test of the extrude node, I observed a performance
improvement of about 30%, from 55ms to 42ms.

Provide reasonable defaults for UV unwrap for triangles with zero area:
* Three vertices are arranged in a line.
* Two vertices are at the same 3D location.
* All three vertices are at the same 3D location.
Change fixes quads / ngons which have triangulations with zero area.
Change fixes both "Angle Based" method and "Conformal" method.

As described in T95966, the goal is to move to a "struct of arrays"
approach rather than gathering an arbitrary set of data in hard-coded
structs. This has performance benefits, but also code complexity
benefits (this patch removes plenty of code, though the boilerplate
for the new operators outweighs that here).
To mirror the internal change, the options for storing mesh bevel
weights are converted into operators that add or remove the layer,
like for some other layers.
The most complex change is to the solidify modifier, where bevel
weights had special handling. Other than that, most changes are
removing clearing of the weights, boilerplate for the add/remove
operators, and removing the manual transfer of bevel weights
in bmesh - mesh conversion.
Eventually bevel weights can become a fully generic attribute,
but for now this patch aims to avoid most functional changes.
Bevel weights are still written and read from the mesh in the old way,
so neither forward nor backward compatibility are affected. As described
in T95965, writing in the old format will be done until 4.0.

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).

This patch moves material indices from the mesh `MPoly` struct to a
generic integer attribute. The builtin material index was already
exposed in geometry nodes, but this makes it a "proper" attribute
accessible with Python and visible in the "Attributes" panel.
The goals of the refactor are code simplification and memory and
performance improvements, mainly because the attribute doesn't have
to be stored and processed if there are no materials. However, until
4.0, material indices will still be read and written in the old
format, meaning there may be a temporary increase in memory usage.
Further notes:
* Completely removing the `MPoly.mat_nr` after 4.0 may require
changes to DNA or introducing a new `MPoly` type.
* Geometry nodes regression tests didn't look at material indices,
so the change reveals a bug in the realize instances node that I fixed.
* Access to material indices from the RNA `MeshPolygon` type is slower
with this patch. The `material_index` attribute can be used instead.
* Cycles is changed to read from the attribute instead.
* BMesh isn't changed in this patch. Theoretically it could be though,
to save 2 bytes per face when less than two materials are used.
* Eventually we could use a 16 bit integer attribute type instead.

The case when the query uv is almost on an edge but outside of any
triangle was handled before. Now the case where the query uv is
almost on an edge but inside more than one triangle is handled as well.

Using the same `GeometryComponentFieldContext` for all situations,
even when only one geometry type is supported is misleading, and mixes
too many different abstraction levels into code that could be simpler.
With the attribute API moved out of geometry components recently,
the "component" system is just getting in the way here.
This commit adds specific field contexts for geometry types: meshes,
curves, point clouds, and instances. There are also separate field input
helper classes, to help reduce boilerplate for fields that only support
specific geometry types.
Another benefit of this change is that it separates geometry components
from fields, which makes it easier to see the purpose of the two concepts,
and how they relate.
Because we want to be able to evaluate a field on just `CurvesGeometry`
rather than the full `Curves` data-block, the generic "geometry context"
had to be changed to avoid using `GeometryComponent`, since there is
no corresponding geometry component type. The resulting void pointer
is ugly, but only turns up in three places in practice. When Apple clang
supports `std::variant`, that could be used instead.

When the curve type attribute doesn't exist, there is no reason to
create an array for it only to fill the default value, which will add
overhead to subsequent "add" operations. I added a "get_if_single"
method to virtual array to simplify this check. Also use the existing
functions for filling curve types.

The `DefaultMixer` for mixing generic data types has some issues:
1. The full buffer is always zeroed, even if only some is used.
2. Finalizing also works on all values, even if only some are used.
3. "mixing" doesn't allow setting the first value, requiring that
everything is cleared beforehand.
This commit adds the following functionality:
1. Constructor with the specified `IndexMask` for preliminary zeroing.
2. `set` method to overwrite the value.
3. `finalize` with the specified mask to process a subset of values.
This is useful in situations where you want to use the
DefaultMixer without having to overwrite all the values many times.
A performance improvement was observed for NURBS curve evaluation and
attribute interpolation from the point to curve domain of about 15% and
35% respectively (100,000 curves).

This adds three new nodes:
* `Shortest Edge Paths`: Actually finds the shortest paths.
* `Edge Paths to Curves`: Converts the paths to separate curves.
This may generate a quadratic amount of data, making it slow
for large meshes.
* `Edge Paths to Selection`: Generates an edge selection that
contains all edges that are part of a path. This can be used
with the Separate Geometry node to only keep the edges that
are part of a path. For large meshes, this approach can be
much faster than the `Edge Paths to Curves` node, because
less data is created.
