This name doesn't require understanding of fields, and
is phrased as an action which is consistent with other nodes.
Discussed in the latest geometry nodes sub-module meeting.

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.

Curves that are attached to a surface can now follow the surface when
it is modified using shape keys or modifiers (but not when the original
surface is deformed in edit or sculpt mode).
The surface is allowed to be changed in any way that keeps uv maps
intact. So deformation is allowed, but also some topology changes like
subdivision.
The following features are added:
* A new `Deform Curves on Surface` node, which deforms curves with
attachment information based on the surface object and uv map set
in the properties panel.
* A new `Add Rest Position` checkbox in the shape keys panel. When checked,
a new `rest_position` vector attribute is added to the mesh before shape
keys and modifiers are applied. This is necessary to support proper
deformation of the curves, but can also be used for other purposes.
* The `Add > Curve > Empty Hair` operator now sets up a simple geometry
nodes setup that deforms the hair. It also makes sure that the rest
position attribute is added to the surface.
* A new `Object (Attach Curves to Surface)` operator in the `Set Parent To`
(ctrl+P) menu, which attaches existing curves to the surface and sets the
surface object as parent.
Limitations:
* Sculpting the procedurally deformed curves will be implemented separately.
* The `Deform Curves on Surface` node is not generic and can only be used
for one specific purpose currently. We plan to generalize this more in the
future by adding support by exposing more inputs and/or by turning it into
a node group.

This is the start of a geometry node to do edge, vertex, and face
bevels.
It doesn't yet do anything but analyze the "Vertex cap" around
selected vertices for vertex bevel.

This commit adds new Unwrap and Pack Islands nodes, with equivalent
functionality to the existing Unwrap and Pack Islands operators. The
Unwrap node uses generic boolean attributes to determine seams instead
of looking at the seam flags in the mesh geometry.
Unlike the Unwrap operator, the Unwrap node doesn't perform aspect
ratio correction, because this is trivial for the user to implement
with a Vector Math node if it is desired.
The Unwrap node implicitly performs a Pack Islands operation upon
completion, because the results may not be generally useful otherwise.
This matches the behaviour of the Unwrap operator.
The nodes use the existing Vector socket type, and do not introduce a
new 2D Vector type (see T92765).

This adds a Mesh To Volume Node T86838 based on the existing modifier.
The mesh to volume conversion is implemented in the geometry module,
and shared between the node and the modifier.
Currently the node outputs a grid with the name "density". This may
change in the future depending on the decisions made in T91668.
The original patch was by Kris (@Metricity), further implementation
by Geramy Loveless (@GeramyLoveless), then finished by Erik Abrahamsson

As described in T98943, this commit adds a node that can
evaluate a field on a separate domain in a larger field context.
This is potentially useful in many cases, to avoid relying on
a separate capture attribute node, which can make it easier
to build reusable fields that don't need geometry inputs.
Internally, the node just evaluates the input field in the larger
field context and then uses the generic domain interpolation,
so the code is simple. One future optimization might be using
the input selection to only evaluate part of the input field, but
then the selection has to be interpolated as well, and that might
not always be worth it.

This commit adds a Volume Cube primitive node. It outputs a volume that
contains a single "density" float grid. The density per voxel can be

This commit removes the implementations of legacy nodes,
their type definitions, and related code that becomes unused.
Now that we have two releases that included the legacy nodes,
there is not much reason to include them still. Removing the
code means refactoring will be easier, and old code doesn't
have to be tested and maintained.
After this commit, the legacy nodes will be undefined in the UI,
so 3.0 or 3.1 should be used to convert files to the fields system.
The net change is 12184 lines removed!
The tooltip for legacy nodes mentioned that we would remove
them before 4.0, which was purposefully a bit vague to allow
us this flexibility. In a poll in a devtalk post showed that the
majority of people were okay with removing the nodes.

- `Named Attribute`: A field input node
- `Store Named Attribute`: Puts results of a field in a named attribute
They are added behind a new experimental feature flag, because further
development of attribute search and name dependency visualization will
happen as separate steps.

This adds a node with a boolean field output which returns true if all of the
points of the evaluated face are on the same plane. A float field input allows
for the threshold of the face/point comparison to be adjusted on a per face basis.
One clear use case is to only triangulate faces that are not planar.

This adds a node which copies part of a geometry a dynamic number
of times.
Different parts of the geometry can be copied differing amounts
of times, controlled by the amount input field. Geometry can also
be ignored by use of the selection input.
The output geometry contains only the copies created by the node.
if the amount input is set to zero, the output geometry will be
empty. The duplicate index output is an integer index with the copy
number of each duplicate.

This implements a merge by distance operation for point clouds.
Besides the geometry input, there are two others-- a selection
input to limit the operation to certain points, and the merge
distance. While it would be a reasonable feature, the distance
does not support a field currently, since that would make
the algorithm significantly more complex.
All attributes are merged to the merged points, with the values
mixed together. This same generic method is used for all attributes,
including `position`. The `id` attribute uses the value from the
first merged index for each point.
For the implementation, most of the effort goes into creating a
merge map to speed up attribute mixing. Some parts are inherently
single-threaded, like finding the final indices accounting for the
merged points. By far most of the time is spend balancing the
KD tree.
Mesh support will be added in the next commit.

This patch introduces an extrude node with three modes. The vertex mode
is quite simple, and just attaches new edges to the selected vertices.
The edge mode attaches new faces to the selected edges. The faces mode
extrudes patches of selected faces, or each selected face individually,
depending on the "Individual" boolean input.
The default value of the "Offset" input is the mesh's normals, which
can be scaled with the "Offset Scale" input.
**Attribute Propagation**
Attributes are transferred to the new elements with specific rules.
Attributes will never change domains for interpolations. Generally
boolean attributes are propagated with "or", meaning any connected
"true" value that is mixed in for other types will cause the new value
to be "true" as well. The `"id"` attribute does not have any special
handling currently.
Vertex Mode
- Vertex: Copied values of selected vertices.
- Edge: Averaged values of selected edges. For booleans, edges are
selected if any connected edges are selected.
Edge Mode
- Vertex: Copied values of extruded vertices.
- Connecting edges (vertical): Average values of connected extruded
edges. For booleans, the edges are selected if any connected
extruded edges are selected.
- Duplicate edges: Copied values of selected edges.
- Face: Averaged values of all faces connected to the selected edge.
For booleans, faces are selected if any connected original faces
are selected.
- Corner: Averaged values of corresponding corners in all faces
connected to selected edges. For booleans, corners are selected
if one of those corners are selected.
Face Mode
- Vertex: Copied values of extruded vertices.
- Connecting edges (vertical): Average values of connected selected
edges, not including the edges "on top" of extruded regions.
For booleans, edges are selected when any connected extruded edges
were selected.
- Duplicate edges: Copied values of extruded edges.
- Face: Copied values of the corresponding selected faces.
- Corner: Copied values of corresponding corners in selected faces.
Individual Face Mode
- Vertex: Copied values of extruded vertices.
- Connecting edges (vertical): Average values of the two neighboring
edges on each extruded face. For booleans, edges are selected
when at least one neighbor on the extruded face was selected.
- Duplicate edges: Copied values of extruded edges.
- Face: Copied values of the corresponding selected faces.
- Corner: Copied values of corresponding corners in selected faces.
**Differences from edit mode**
In face mode (non-individual), the behavior can be different than the
extrude tools in edit mode-- this node doesn't handle keeping the back-
faces around in the cases that the edit mode tools do. The planned
"Solidify" node will handle that use case instead. Keeping this node
simpler and faster is preferable at this point, especially because that
sort of "smart" behavior is not that predictable and makes less sense
in a procedural context.
In the future, an "Even Offset" option could be added to this node
hopefully fairly simply. For now it is left out in order to keep
the patch simpler.
**Implementation**
For the implementation, the `Mesh` data structure is used directly
rather than converting to `BMesh` and back like D12224. This optimizes
for large extrusion operations rather than many sequential extrusions.
While this is potentially more verbose, it has some important benefits:
First, there is no conversion to and from `BMesh`. The code only has
to fill arrays and it can do that all at once, making each component of
the algorithm much easier to optimize. It also makes the attribute
interpolation more explicit, and likely faster. Only limited topology
maps must be created in most cases.
While there are some necessary loops and allocations with the size of
the entire mesh, I tried to keep everything I could on the order of the
size of the selection rather than the size of the mesh. In that respect,
the individual faces mode is the best, since there is no topology
information necessary, and the amount of work just depends on the size
of the selection.
Modifying an existing mesh instead of generating a new one was a bit
of a toss-up, but has a few potential benefits:
- Avoids manually copying over attribute data for original elements.
- Avoids some overhead of creating a new mesh.
- Can potentially take advantage of future ammortized mesh growth.
This could be changed easily if it turns out to be the wrong choice.

This node can scale individual edges and faces. When multiple selected

Currently there is no way to flip normals in geometry nodes. This node
makes that possible by flipping the winding order of selected faces.
The node is purposely not called "Flip Normals", because normals are
derived data, changing them is only a side effect. The real change is
that the vertex and edge indices in the face corners of every selected
polygon are reversed, and face corner attribute data is reversed.
While there are existing utilities to flip a polygon and its custom
data, this node aims to process an attribute's data together instead
of processing all attributes separately for each index.

This node allows accessing data of other elements in the context geometry.
It is similar to the Transfer Attribute node in Index mode. The main difference
is that this node does not require a geometry input, because the context
is used.
The node can e.g. be used to generalize what the Edge Vertices node is doing.
Instead of only being able to get the position of the vertices of an edge,
any field/attribute can be accessed on the vertices.

Calculates the angle in radians between two faces that meet at an edge.
0 to PI in either direction with flat being 0 and folded over on itself PI.
If there are not 2 faces on the edge, the angle will be 0.
For valid edges, the angle is the same as the 'edge angle' overlay.

This function node creates a running total of a given Vector, Float, or
Int field.
Inputs:
- Value: The field to be accumulated
- Group Index: The values of this input are used to aggregate the input
into separate 'bins', creating multiple accumulations.
Outputs:
- Leading and Trailing: Returns the running totals starting
at either the first value of each accumulations or 0 respectively.
- Total: Returns the total accumulation at all positions of the field.
There's currently plenty of duplicate work happening when multiple outputs
are used that could be optimized by a future refactor to field inputs.

This commit adds a search menu when links are dragged above empty
space. When releasing the drag, a menu displays all compatible
sockets with the source link. The "main" sockets (usually the first)
are weighted above other sockets in the search, so they appear first
when you type the name of the node.
A few special operators for creating a reroute or a group input node
are also added to the search.
Translation is started after choosing a node so it can be placed
quickly, since users would likely adjust the position after anyway.
A small "+" is displayed next to the cursor to give a hint about this.
Further improvements are possible after this first iteration:
- Support custom node trees.
- Better drawing of items in the search menu.
- Potential tweaks to filtering of items, depending on user feedback.

This node calculates the dual of the input mesh. This means that faces
get replaced with vertices and vertices with faces. In principle this
only makes sense when the mesh in manifold, but there is an option to
keep the (non-manifold) boundaries of the mesh intact.
Attributes are propagated:
- Point domain goes to face domain and vice versa
- Edge domain and Face corner domain gets mapped to itself
Because of the duality, when the mesh is manifold, the attributes get
mapped to themselves when applying the node twice.
Thanks to Leul Mulugeta (@Leul) for help with the
ascii diagrams in the code comments.
Note that this does not work well with some non-manifold geometry,
like an edge connected to more than 2 faces, or a vertex connected to
only two faces, while not being in the boundary. This is because there
is no good way to define the dual at some of those points. This type
of non-manifold vertices are just removed for this reason.

In future use cases, a volume can contain many grids that represent the
density information. In this case, it's better if the volume to mesh node
creates a mesh based on all of the grids in the volume.
This is also a benefit to share-ability, since one doesn't have to
specify the grid name in the node. Instead, in the future we can have
a way to split particular grids into separate volumes, if only one
grid should be considered.
The code changes are relatively simple:
- Move the old volume to mesh node to the legacy folder.
- Run the volume to mesh node on all instance geometry, like elsewhere.
- Make the blenkernel's volume to mesh API a bit more specific.

This adds a new image texture node for geometry nodes. It does not
reuse the same node that is used in shading, because we want to be
able to expose the image and frame as sockets.
There is a known update issue when a movie or image sequence is
used. That will be fixed separately (also see D12957).
Currently, the image socket is just a pointer to an Image ID data block.
This can contain single images but also movies and image sequences.
In the future, the definition of an image socket can be expanded to
include images that are generated from scratch in the node tree.
For more details read the discussion in D12827.
Some of the code is a direct port from cycles and should be cleaned
up a bit in the future. For example `image_cubic_texture_lookup`.
For still images, the frame input is ignored. Otherwise, the frame
has to be in a valid range for the node to work. In the future we
may add e.g. automatic looping functionality.

This commit adds an updated version of the old attribute transfer node.
It works like a function node, so it works in the context of a
geometry, with a simple data output.
The "Nearest" mode finds the nearest element of the specified domain on
the target geometry and copies the value directly from the target input.
The "Nearest Face Interpolated" finds the nearest point on anywhere on
the surface of the target mesh and linearly interpolates the value on
the target from the face's corners.
The node also has a new "Index" mode, which can pick data from specific
indices on the target geometry. The implicit default is to do a simple
copy from the target geometry, but any indices could be used. It is also
possible to use a single value for the index to to retrieve a single
value from an attribute at a certain index.
