This addressed feature request T99811.
Added the following features to fully support importing USDZ archives:
- Added .usdz to the list of supported extensions.
- Added new USD import options to copy textures from USDZ archives. The
textures may be imported as packed data (the default) or to a directory
on disk.
- Extended the USD material import logic to handle package-relative texture
assets paths by invoking the USD asset resolver to copy the textures from
the USDZ archive to a directory on disk. When importing in Packed mode,
the textures are first saved to Blender's temporary session directory
prior to packing.
The new USD import options are
- Import Textures: Behavior when importing textures from a USDZ archive
- Textures Directory: Path to the directory where imported textures will
be copied
- File Name Collision: Behavior when the name of an imported texture file
conflicts with an existing file
Import Textures menu options:
- None: Don't import textures
- Packed: Import textures as packed data (the default)
- Copy: Copy files to Textures Directory
File Name Collision menu options:
- Use Existing: If a file with the same name already exists, use that
instead of copying (the default)
- Overwrite: Overwrite existing files

Both the Alembic and USD libraries use double precision floating
point numbers internally to store time. However the Alembic I/O
code defaulted to floats even though Blender's Scene FPS, which is
generally used for look ups, is stored using a double type. Such
downcasts could lead to imprecise lookups, and would cause
compilation warnings (at least on MSVC).
This modifies the Alembic exporter and importer to make use of
doubles for the current scene time, and only downcasting to float
at the very last steps (e.g. for vertex interpolation). For the
importer, doubles are also used for computing interpolation weights,
as it is based on a time offset.
Although the USD code already used doubles internally, floats were used
at the C API level. Those were replaced as well.

The Alembic procedural was only enabled during viewport renders
originally because it did not have any caching strategy. Now that
is does, we can allow its usage in final renders.
This also removes the `dag_eval_mode` argument passing to
`ModifierTypeInfo.dependsOnTime` which was originally added to detect if
we are doing a viewport render for enabling the procedural.

Override layers are a standard feature of Alembic, where archives can override
data from other archives, provided that the hierarchies match.
This is useful for modifying a UV map, updating an animation, or even creating
some sort of LOD system where low resolution meshes are swapped by high resolution
versions.
It is possible to add UV maps and vertex colors using this system, however, they
will only appear in the spreadsheet editor when viewing evaluated data, as the UV
map and Vertex color UI only show data present on the original mesh.
Implementation wise, this adds a `CacheFileLayer` data structure to the `CacheFile`
DNA, as well as some operators and UI to present and manage the layers. For both
the Alembic importer and the Cycles procedural, the main change is creating an
archive from a list of filepaths, instead of a single one.
After importing the base file through the regular import operator, layers can be added
to or removed from the `CacheFile` via the UI list under the `Override Layers` panel
located in the Mesh Sequence Cache modifier. Layers can also be moved around or
hidden.

The main goal of this refactor is to make BPath module use `IDTypeInfo`,
and move each ID-specific part of the `foreach_path` looper into their
own IDTypeInfo struct, using a new `foreach_path` callback.
Additionally, following improvements/cleanups are included:
* Attempt to get better, more consistent namings.
** In particular, move from `path_visitor` to more standard `foreach_path`.
* Update and extend documentation.
** API doc was moved to header, according to recent discussions on this
topic.
* Remove `BKE_bpath_relocate_visitor` from API, this is specific
callback that belongs in `lib_id.c` user code.
NOTE: This commit is expected to be 100% non-behavioral-change. This
implies that several potential further changes were only noted as
comments (like using a more generic solution for
`lib_id_library_local_paths`, addressing inconsistencies like path of
packed libraries always being skipped, regardless of the
`BKE_BPATH_FOREACH_PATH_SKIP_PACKED` `eBPathForeachFlag` flag value,
etc.).

Two issues addressed here:
I) `asset_type_info` is sub-data, not a callback. Therefore, move it
before the callbacks in the `IDTypeInfo` struct.
II) More important, initialize this new attribute in *ALL* `IDTypeInfo`
instances. No member of this struct should ever be left implicitely
uninitilazed, ever.
Aftermath of rBa84f1c02d251.
This commit adds to ID struct a new optional 'weak reference' to a
linked ID (in the form of a blend file library path and full ID name).
This can then be used on next append to try to find a matching local ID
instead of re-making the linked data local again.
Ref. T90545
NOTE: ID re-use will be disabled for regular append for the time being
(3.0 release), and only used for assets. Therefore, this commit should
not change anything user-wise.

This was not really useful, and added estra useless steps in case and ID
should not actually be written.
Further more, it prevented clearing the usercount on write, which can be
cause a false positive 'chanhged' detection in undo/redo case.
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.

Confusingly, BKE_scene_frame_get did not match the frame number as expected by
BKE_scene_frame_set. Instead it return the value after time remapping, which
is commonly named "ctime".
* Rename BKE_scene_frame_get to BKE_scene_ctime_get
* Add a new BKE_scene_frame_get that matches BKE_scene_frame_set
* Use int/float depending if fractional frame is expected
When an object, whose mesh gets loaded from Alembic, gets animated in
Blender and the Alembic CacheFile datablock also gets animated, editing
keyframes causes both datablock to be re-copied for evaluation. This
caused a threading issue and a double-free of some memory. This is fixed
by expanding the scope of the spin lock in
`BKE_cachefile_reader_free()`.
CacheFile writing code would not write generic ID data (call for it has
been missing since the initial commit, rB61050f75b13e).
While potentially affecting other areas (mostly CustomProperties/IDProperties),
this was a critical failure for liboverrides. Also added some workaround
code to allow opening broken files (though the override of the CacheFile
data-block will be lost).
This concerns currently only collections (`master_collection` of scenes)
and root node trees. It removes the matching type-specific helpers
(`BKE_collection_master_scene_search` and `BKE_node_tree_find_owner_ID`).
No functional change expected here.
NOTE: Current implementation of `owner_get` is far from optimal, we
could probably do it better, see {T69169}.
NOTE: While it could also have it, shapekeys IDTypeInfo was left out of
this change for now. Mainly because it sould not be used currently, and
we ultimately want to demote shape keys from ID status anyway.
Currently this is needed to properly tag PointCache's for info update
(fixes an issue reported in T82503).
Suspect we may need this in more cases in the future though, RNA
assign/update processes are not always 100% enough to deal with
complicated corner cases.
This is essentially adding that new callback, and using it only for already
existing Scene's 3DCursor.
Note that the place where this is called has been moved again, after all
have been lib-linked, such that those callbacks may also work on ID pointers.

Better use higher-level code from common ID management when possible.
Helps to de-duplicate logic, and reduces outside usages of more
'dangerous' functions.
Note that we could get rid of many of those `BKE_<id_type>_add`
functions now, but on the other hand several of those take extra
parameters and perform additional actions, so think we can keep them all
for now as 'non-standard ID specific creation functions'.
Those were only shallow wrappers around `BKE_id_copy`, barely used (even
fully unused in some cases), and we want to get rid of those ID-specific
helpers for the common ID management tasks. Also prevents weird custom
behaviors (like `BKE_object_copy`, who was the only basic ID copy
function to reset user count of the new copy to zero).
Part of 71219.
This is part of T76372.
It adds the `blend_write`, `blend_read_data`, `blend_read_lib`
and `blend_read_expand` which correspond to the various
steps when reading and writing .blend files.
Having these callbacks allows us to decentralize the blenloader
code a lot more. This has the affect that code related to any
specific ID type is less scattered.

This patch adds the ability to render motion blur from Alembic caches.
The motion blur data is derived from a velocity attribute whose name has
to be defined by the user through the MeshSequenceCache modifier, with a
default value of ".velocities", which is the standard name in Alembic
for the velocity property, although other software may ignore it and
write velocity with their own naming convention (e.g. "v" in Houdini).
Furthermore, a property was added to define how the velocity vectors
are interpreted with regard to time : frame or second. "Frame"
means that the velocity is already scaled by the time step and we do not
need to modify it for it to look proper. "Second" means that the unit
the velocity was measured in is in seconds and so has to be scaled by
some time step computed here as being the time between two frames (1 /
FPS, which would be typical for a simulation). This appears to be
common, and is the default behavior.
Another property was added to control the scale of the velocity to
further modify the look of the motion blur.

The `BKE_animsys.h` and `anim_sys.c` files already had a an "AnimData
API" section. The code in that section has now been split off, and
placed into `BKE_anim_data.h` and `anim_data.c`.
All files that used to include `BKE_animsys.h` have been adjusted to
only include the animation headers they need (sometimes none).
No functional changes.
This has been long standing TODO...
Note that remaining usages of BKE_xxx_delete should all be carefully
checked for and utilmately nuked in favor of `BKE_id_delete()`, think we
still have quiet a few bugs hidden in those (code seems to usually
assume those functions do a full ID deletion, which is not the case).
Instead of using anonymous booleans flags, also allows to keep the same
behavior in all cases, without needing special handling from calling
code for our beloved oddballs object proxies...
* The cache file datablock is now evaluated as part of the dependency graph,
creating/freeing the Alembic file handle matching the current frame.
Modifiers and constraints depend on this evaluation.
* Cache file handles and readers now only exist on COW datablocks, never the
original ones.
* Object data paths are flushed back to the original for the user interface.
* The cache file keeps a list of all readers associated with its handle, and
automatically frees them when the handle is freed. This kind of sharing of
data across datablocks is weak but we have no better mechanism for it.

The `BLI_path_frame_strip` function was completely broken, unless the
number of digits in the sequence number was the same as the length of
the extension. In other words, it would work fine for `file.0001.abc` (4
digit `0001` and 4 char `.abc`), but other combinations would truncate
to the shortest (`file.001.abc` would become `file.###.ab` and
`file.00001.a` would become `file.##.a`). The dependency between the
sequence number and the file extension is now removed.
The behaviour has changed a little bit in the case where there are no
numbers in the filename. Previously, `path="filename.abc"` would result
in `path="filename.abc"` and `ext=""`, but now it results in
`path="filename"` and `ext=".abc"`. This way `ext` always contains the
extension, and the behaviour is consistent regardless of whether there
were any numbers found.
Furthermore, I've removed the `bool set_frame_char` parameter, because
it was unclear, probably also buggy, and most importantly, never used.
I've also added a unit test for the `BLI_path_frame_strip` function.
Convention was not to but after discussion on 918941483f we agree its
best to change the convention.
Names now mostly follow RNA.
Some exceptions:
- Use 'nodetrees' instead of 'nodegroups'
since the struct is called NodeTree.
- Use 'gpencils' instead of 'grease_pencil'
since 'gpencil' is a common abbreviation in the C code.
Other exceptions:
- Leave 'wm' as it's a list of one.
- Leave 'ipo' as is for versioning.
