This adds vertex creasing support for OpenSubDiv for modeling, rendering,
Alembic and USD I/O.
For modeling, vertex creasing follows the edge creasing implementation with an
operator accessible through the Vertex menu in Edit Mode, and some parameter in
the properties panel. The option in the Subsurf and Multires to use edge
creasing also affects vertex creasing.
The vertex crease data is stored as a CustomData layer, unlike edge creases
which for now are stored in `MEdge`, but will in the future also be moved to
a `CustomData` layer. See comments for details on the difference in behavior
for the `CD_CREASE` layer between egdes and vertices.
For Cycles this adds sockets on the Mesh node to hold data about which vertices
are creased (one socket for the indices, one for the weigths).
Viewport rendering of vertex creasing reuses the same color scheme as for edges
and creased vertices are drawn bigger than uncreased vertices.
For Alembic and USD, vertex crease support follows the edge crease
implementation, they are always read, but only exported if a `Subsurf` modifier
is present on the Mesh.

As described in T91186, this commit moves mesh vertex normals into a
contiguous array of float vectors in a custom data layer, how face
normals are currently stored.
The main interface is documented in `BKE_mesh.h`. Vertex and face
normals are now calculated on-demand and cached, retrieved with an
"ensure" function. Since the logical state of a mesh is now "has
normals when necessary", they can be retrieved from a `const` mesh.
The goal is to use on-demand calculation for all derived data, but
leave room for eager calculation for performance purposes (modifier
evaluation is threaded, but viewport data generation is not).
**Benefits**
This moves us closer to a SoA approach rather than the current AoS
paradigm. Accessing a contiguous `float3` is much more efficient than
retrieving data from a larger struct. The memory requirements for
accessing only normals or vertex locations are smaller, and at the
cost of more memory usage for just normals, they now don't have to
be converted between float and short, which also simplifies code
In the future, the remaining items can be removed from `MVert`,
leaving only `float3`, which has similar benefits (see T93602).
Removing the combination of derived and original data makes it
conceptually simpler to only calculate normals when necessary.
This is especially important now that we have more opportunities
for temporary meshes in geometry nodes.
**Performance**
In addition to the theoretical future performance improvements by
making `MVert == float3`, I've done some basic performance testing
on this patch directly. The data is fairly rough, but it gives an idea
about where things stand generally.
- Mesh line primitive 4m Verts: 1.16x faster (36 -> 31 ms),
showing that accessing just `MVert` is now more efficient.
- Spring Splash Screen: 1.03-1.06 -> 1.06-1.11 FPS, a very slight
change that at least shows there is no regression.
- Sprite Fright Snail Smoosh: 3.30-3.40 -> 3.42-3.50 FPS, a small
but observable speedup.
- Set Position Node with Scaled Normal: 1.36x faster (53 -> 39 ms),
shows that using normals in geometry nodes is faster.
- Normal Calculation 1.6m Vert Cube: 1.19x faster (25 -> 21 ms),
shows that calculating normals is slightly faster now.
- File Size of 1.6m Vert Cube: 1.03x smaller (214.7 -> 208.4 MB),
Normals are not saved in files, which can help with large meshes.
As for memory usage, it may be slightly more in some cases, but
I didn't observe any difference in the production files I tested.
**Tests**
Some modifiers and cycles test results need to be updated with this
commit, for two reasons:
- The subdivision surface modifier is not responsible for calculating
normals anymore. In master, the modifier creates different normals
than the result of the `Mesh` normal calculation, so this is a bug
fix.
- There are small differences in the results of some modifiers that
use normals because they are not converted to and from `short`
anymore.
**Future improvements**
- Remove `ModifierTypeInfo::dependsOnNormals`. Code in each modifier
already retrieves normals if they are needed anyway.
- Copy normals as part of a better CoW system for attributes.
- Make more areas use lazy instead of eager normal calculation.
- Remove `BKE_mesh_normals_tag_dirty` in more places since that is
now the default state of a new mesh.
- Possibly apply a similar change to derived face corner normals.

Remove `const` from pass-by-value parameters in function declarations.
The variables passed as parameters can never be modified by the function
anyway, so declaring them as `const` is meaningless. Having the
declaration there could confuse, especially as it suggests it does have
a meaning, training people to write meaningless code.

Goals of this refactor:
* More unified approach to updating everything that needs to be updated
after a change in a node tree.
* The updates should happen in the correct order and quadratic or worse
algorithms should be avoided.
* Improve detection of changes to the output to avoid tagging the depsgraph
when it's not necessary.
* Move towards a more declarative style of defining nodes by having a
more centralized update procedure.
The refactor consists of two main parts:
* Node tree tagging and update refactor.
* Generally, when changes are done to a node tree, it is tagged dirty
until a global update function is called that updates everything in
the correct order.
* The tagging is more fine-grained compared to before, to allow for more
precise depsgraph update tagging.
* Depsgraph changes.
* The shading specific depsgraph node for node trees as been removed.
* Instead, there is a new `NTREE_OUTPUT` depsgrap node, which is only
tagged when the output of the node tree changed (e.g. the Group Output
or Material Output node).
* The copy-on-write relation from node trees to the data block they are
embedded in is now non-flushing. This avoids e.g. triggering a material
update after the shader node tree changed in unrelated ways. Instead
the material has a flushing relation to the new `NTREE_OUTPUT` node now.
* The depsgraph no longer reports data block changes through to cycles
through `Depsgraph.updates` when only the node tree changed in ways
that do not affect the output.
Avoiding unnecessary updates seems to work well for geometry nodes and cycles.
The situation is a bit worse when there are drivers on the node tree, but that
could potentially be improved separately in the future.
Avoiding updates in eevee and the compositor is more tricky, but also less urgent.
* Eevee updates are triggered by calling `DRW_notify_view_update` in
`ED_render_view3d_update` indirectly from `DEG_editors_update`.
* Compositor updates are triggered by `ED_node_composite_job` in `node_area_refresh`.
This is triggered by calling `ED_area_tag_refresh` in `node_area_listener`.
Removing updates always has the risk of breaking some dependency that no
one was aware of. It's not unlikely that this will happen here as well. Adding
back missing updates should be quite a bit easier than getting rid of
unnecessary updates though.

With this commit, curve objects support the geometry nodes modifier.
Curves objects now evaluate to `CurveEval` unless there was a previous
implicit conversion (tessellating modifiers, mesh modifiers, or the
settings in the curve "Geometry" panel). In the new code, curves are
only considered to be the wire edges-- any generated surface is a mesh
instead, stored in the evaluated geometry set.
The consolidation of concepts mentioned above allows remove a lot of
code that had to do with maintaining the `DispList` type temporarily
for modifiers and rendering. Instead, render engines see a separate
object for the mesh from the mesh geometry component, and when the
curve object evaluates to a curve, the `CurveEval` is always used for
drawing wire edges.
However, currently the `DispList` type is still maintained and used as
an intermediate step in implicit mesh conversion. In the future, more
uses of it could be changed to use `CurveEval` and `Mesh` instead.
This is mostly not changed behavior, it is just a formalization of
existing logic after recent fixes for 2.8 versions last year and two
years ago. Also, in the future more functionality can be converted
to nodes, removing cases of implicit conversions. For more discussion
on that topic, see T89676.
The `use_fill_deform` option is removed. It has not worked properly
since 2.62, and the choice for filling a curve before or after
deformation will work much better and be clearer with a node system.
Applying the geometry nodes modifier to generate a curve is not
implemented with this commit, so applying the modifier won't work
at all. This is a separate technical challenge, and should be solved
in a separate step.

Previously fluid simulation and Alembic modifiers had a dedicated function
to query the velocity for motion blur. Now use a more generic system where
those modifiers output a velocity attribute.
Advantages:
* Geometry and particle nodes can output velocity through the same mechanism,
or read the attribute coming from earlier modifiers.
* The velocity can be preserved through modifiers like subdivision surface or
auto smooth.
* USD and Alembic previously only output velocity from fluid simulation, now
they work with velocity from other sources too.
* Simplifies the code for renderers like Cycles and exporters like
Alembic and USD.
This breaks compatibility:
* External renderers and exporters accessing these velocities through the
Python API now need to use the attribute instead.
* Existing modifier node setups that create an attribute named "velocity"
will render differently with motion blur.

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.

As in the old Blender Internal baking code, this still relies on there being a
good mapping to the original vertices.
|

This removes a lot of unnecessary code that is generated by
the compiler automatically.
In very few cases, a defaulted destructor in a .cc file is
still necessary, because of forward declarations in the header.
I removed some defaulted virtual destructors, because they are not
necessary, when the parent class has a virtual destructor already.
Defaulted constructors are only necessary when there is another
constructor, but the class should still be default constructible.

* USD and OpenVDB headers use deprecated TBB headers, suppress all deprecation
warnings there since we have no control over them.
* For our own TBB includes, use the individual headers rather than the tbb.h that
includes everything to avoid warnings, rather than suppressing all.
This is in anticipation of the TBB 2020 upgrade in D10359. Ref D10361.

Remove the hack for library initialisation; this is no longer necessary
as the required information can be passed to the USD library after its
static initialisers have run.
This new approach is compatible with both the patched and original USD

USD library until the next upgrade.

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.

The root cause was that `BKE_object_moves_in_time()` incorrectly returns
`false` when an object is moved by the physics system.
This also fixes the same issue in the USD exporter.

This commit is a followup of {D7649}, and ports the USD tests to the new
testing approach. It moves test code from `tests/gtests/usd` into
`source/blender/io/common` and `source/blender/io/usd`, and adjusts the
use of namespaces to be consistent with the other tests.
I decided to put one test into `io/usd/tests`, instead of
`io/usd/intern`. The reason is that this test does not correspond with a
single file in that directory; instead, it tests Blender's integration
with the USD library itself.
There are two new CLI arguments for the Big Test Runner:
- `--test-assets-dir`, which points to the `lib/tests` directory in the
SVN repository. This allows unit tests to find test assets.
- `--test-release-dir`, which points to `bin/{BLENDER_VERSION}` in the
build directory. At the moment this is only used by the USD test.
The CLI arguments are automatically passed to the Big Test Runner when
using `ctest`. When manually running the tests, the arguments are only
required when there is a test run that needs them.
For more info about splitting some code into 'common', see
rB084c5d6c7e2cf8.
No functional changes to the tests themselves, only to the way they are
built & run.
