Since fields were committed to master, socket inspection did
not work correctly for all socket types anymore. Now the same
functionality as before is back. Furthermore, fields that depend
on some input will now show the inputs in the socket inspection.
I added support for evaluating constant fields more immediately.
This has the benefit that the same constant field is not evaluated
more than once. It also helps with making the field independent
of the multi-functions that it uses. We might still want to change
the ownership handling for the multi-functions of nodes a bit,
but that can be done separately.

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 implements the initial core framework for fields and anonymous
attributes (also see T91274).
The new functionality is hidden behind the "Geometry Nodes Fields"
feature flag. When enabled in the user preferences, the following
new nodes become available: `Position`, `Index`, `Normal`,
`Set Position` and `Attribute Capture`.
Socket inspection has not been updated to work with fields yet.
Besides these changes at the user level, this patch contains the
ground work for:
* building and evaluating fields at run-time (`FN_fields.hh`) and
* creating and accessing anonymous attributes on geometry
(`BKE_anonymous_attribute.h`).
For evaluating fields we use a new so called multi-function procedure
(`FN_multi_function_procedure.hh`). It allows composing multi-functions
in arbitrary ways and supports efficient evaluation as is required by
fields. See `FN_multi_function_procedure.hh` for more details on how
this evaluation mechanism can be used.
A new `AttributeIDRef` has been added which allows handling named
and anonymous attributes in the same way in many places.
Hans and I worked on this patch together.

Allow blending the imported cache with the modifiers stack above the
MeshCache modifier.
This is particularly useful for instance when dealing with cloth
simulations performed in another software, where some parts of the cloth
are completely pinned (non-simulated, following the armature). Indeed,
this would allow modifying the animation in some areas without having to
rebake the other parts or the cloth, resulting in a much more flexible
workflow.

The storage of IDProperty UI data (min, max, default value, etc) is
quite complicated. For every property, retrieving a single one of these
values involves three string lookups. First for the "_RNA_UI" group
property, then another for a group with the property's name, then for
the data value name. Not only is this inefficient, it's hard to reason
about, unintuitive, and not at all self-explanatory.
This commit replaces that system with a UI data struct directly in the
IDProperty. If it's not used, the only cost is of a NULL pointer. Beyond
storing the description, name, and RNA subtype, derived structs are used
to store type specific UI data like min and max.
Note that this means that addons using (abusing) the `_RNA_UI` custom
property will have to be changed. A few places in the addons repository
will be changed after this commit with D9919.
**Before**
Before, first the _RNA_UI subgroup is retrieved the _RNA_UI group,
then the subgroup for the original property, then specific UI data
is accessed like any other IDProperty.
```
prop = rna_idprop_ui_prop_get(idproperties_owner, "prop_name", create=True)
prop["min"] = 1.0
```
**After**
After, the `id_properties_ui` function for RNA structs returns a python
object specifically for managing an IDProperty's UI data.
```
ui_data = idproperties_owner.id_properties_ui("prop_name")
ui_data.update(min=1.0)
```
In addition to `update`, there are now other functions:
- `as_dict`: Returns a dictionary of the property's UI data.
- `clear`: Removes the property's UI data.
- `update_from`: Copy UI data between properties,
even if they have different owners.

Add an option to the mask modifier to use the vertex weights to generate
smooth in between geometry, instead of just deleting non complete faces.
This can be used to make all sorts of smooth dissolve animations
directly with geometry, which are usually hacked together with shaders.
It also allows for implicit function plotting using geometry nodes and
boolean like operations on non manifold geometry with the proximity
modifier.

The multi-function network system was able to compose multiple
multi-functions into a new one and to evaluate that efficiently.
This functionality was heavily used by the particle nodes prototype
a year ago. However, since then we only used multi-functions
without the need to compose them in geometry nodes.
The upcoming "fields" in geometry nodes will need a way to
compose multi-functions again. Unfortunately, the code removed
in this commit was not ideal for this different kind of function
composition. I've been working on an alternative that will be added
separately when it becomes needed.
I've had to update all the function nodes, because their interface
depended on the multi-function network data structure a bit.
The actual multi-function implementations are still the same though.

This patch exposes the Cycles Alembic Procedural through the MeshSequenceCache
modifier in order to use and test it from Blender.
To enable it, one has to switch the render feature set to experimental and
activate the Procedural in the modifier. An Alembic Procedural is then
created for each CacheFile from Blender set to use the Procedural, and each
Blender object having a MeshSequenceCache modifier is added to list of objects
of the right procedural.
The procedural's parameters derive from the CacheFile's properties which are
already exposed in the UI through the modifier, although more Cycles specific
options might be added in the future.
As there is currently no cache controls and since we load all the data at the
beginning of the render session, the procedural is only available during
viewport renders at the moment. When an Alembic procedural is rendered, data
from the archive are not read on the Blender side.
If a Cycles render is not active and the CacheFile is set to use the Cycles Procedural,
bounding boxes are used to display the objects in the scene as a signal that the
objects are not processed by Blender anymore. This is standard in other DCCs.
However this does not reduce the memory usage from Blender as the Alembic data
was already loaded either during an import or during a .blend file read.
This is mostly a hack to test the Cycles Alembic procedural until we have a
better Blender side mechanism for letting renderers load their own geometry,
which will be based on import and export settings on Collections (T68933).

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.

When a vertex group is used to limit the influence of the modifier
to a subset of vertices, binding data for vertices with zero weight
is not needed. This wastes memory, disk space and CPU cycles.
If the vertex group contents is known to be final and constant,
it is reasonable to optimize by only storing data group vertices.
This has to be an option in case the group can change.
Supporting this requires adding a vertex index field and spliting
the vertex count into mesh and bind variants, but both happen to
fit in available padding. The old numverts field is renamed to the
new bound vertex count field to maintain the array length invariant.
Versioning is used to initialize the other new fields.
If a file with sparse binding is opened in an old blender version,
it is corrupted into a non-sparse bind with vertex count mismatch,
preventing the modifier from working until rebind.

Issue would happen when the original, linked data already had 'Disk Cache'
setting enabled. Override would then see no difference with linked data,
and not create any rule for it (as expected).
Root of the issue was that in Cloth modifier copy code, those disk cache
settings were not copied at all, so every time local overrides were
re-generated by copying linked data, those flags would be reset to their
default values.
NOTE: this might exist in other PointCache usages as well, but this code is
in such a bad state that I'd rather do minimal strictly needed changes
there, on a case-by-case basis. Proper recode of that whole system is
wayyyyy out of scope here.

This commit moves the storage of `bDeformGroup` and the active index
to `Mesh`, `Lattice`, and `bGPdata` instead of `Object`. Utility
functions are added to allow easy access to the vertex groups given
an object or an ID.
As explained in T88951, the list of vertex group names is currently
stored separately per object, even though vertex group data is stored
on the geometry. This tends to complicate code and cause bugs,
especially as geometry is created procedurally and tied less closely
to an object.
The "Copy Vertex Groups to Linked" operator is removed, since they
are stored on the geometry anyway.
This patch leaves the object-level python API for vertex groups in
place. Creating a geometry-level RNA API can be a separate step;
the changes in this commit are invasive enough as it is.
Note that opening a file saved in 3.0 in an earlier version means
the vertex groups will not be available.

The 'collection' property is flagged PROP_ID_REFCOUNT, so the
modifiers foreachIDLink functions should walk with IDWALK_CB_USER
(instead of IDWALK_CB_NOP).
Otherwise the modifier wont be included as a user for the collection
(e.g. on file read); removing the collection from the modifier will
decrement usercount though (which in worst case scenario makes the
collection orphan and will result in data loss)

The original assumption that the `modifyMesh` function is only
called when the modifier is applied was wrong. There are still a
couple of other places calling it through `BKE_modifier_modify_mesh`.
Now there is an extra check that makes sure instances are only
realized when the modifier is actually applied.

Many ui features for geometry nodes need access to information generated
during evaluation:
* Node warnings.
* Attribute search.
* Viewer node.
* Socket inspection (not in master yet).
The way we logged the required information before had some disadvantages:
* Viewer node used a completely separate system from node warnings and
attribute search.
* Most of the context of logged information is lost when e.g. the same node
group is used multiple times.
* A global lock was needed every time something is logged.
This new implementation solves these problems:
* All four mentioned ui features use the same underlying logging system.
* All context information for logged values is kept intact.
* Every thread has its own local logger. The logged informatiton is combined
in the end.

This adds a viewer node similar to the one in the compositor.
The icon in the headers of nodes is removed because it served
the same purpose and is not necessary anymore.
Node outputs can be connected to the active viewer using
ctrl+shift+LMB, just like in the compositor. Right now this collides
with the shortcut used in the node wrangler addon, which will
be changed separately.
As of now, the viewed geometry is only visible in the spreadsheet.
Viewport visualization will be added separately.
There are a couple of benefits of using a viewer node compared
to the old approach with the icon in the node header:
* Better support for nodes that have more than one geometry output.
* It's more consistent with the compositor.
* If attributes become decoupled from geometry in the future,
the viewer can have a separate input for the attribute to visualize.
* The viewer node could potentially have visualization settings.
* Allows to keep "visualization points" around by having multiple
viewer nodes.
* Less visual clutter in node headers.

Using BMesh operators through the edit-mesh API created a full copy
of the mesh so it was possible to restore the mesh in case
one of the operators raised an error.
Remove support for automatic backup/restore from the EDBM_op_* API's
as it adds significant overhead and was rarely used.
Operators that need this can use the BMBackup API to backup & restore
the mesh in case of failure.
Add warning levels to BMO_error_raise so operators can report problems
without it being interpreted as a request to cancel the operation.
For high-poly meshes creating and freeing a full copy is an expensive
operation, removing this gives a speedup of ~1.77x for most operators
except for "connect_verts" / "connect_vert_pair"
which still uses this functionality.
