Use the same `".selection"` attribute for both curve and point domains,
instead of a different name for each. The attribute can now have
either boolean or float type. Some tools create boolean selections.
Other tools create float selections. Some tools "upgrade" the attribute
from boolean to float.
Edit mode tools that create selections from scratch can create boolean
selections, but edit mode should generally be able to handle both
selection types. Sculpt mode should be able to read boolean selections,
but can also and write float values between zero and one.
Theoretically we could just always use floats to store selections,
but the type-agnosticism doesn't cost too much complexity given the
existing APIs for dealing with it, and being able to use booleans is
clearer in edit mode, and may allow future optimizations like more
efficient ways to store boolean attributes.
The attribute API is usually used directly for accessing the selection
attribute. We rely on implicit type conversion and domain interpolation
to simplify the rest of the code.

This separates the UV reverse sampling and the barycentric mixing of
the mesh attribute into separate multi-functions. This separates
concerns and allows for future de-duplication of the UV sampling
function if that is implemented as an optimization pass. That would
be helpful since it's the much more expensive operation.
This was simplified by returning the triangle index in the reverse
UV sampler rather than a pointer to the triangle, which required
passing a span of triangles separately in a few places.
UV maps that are used for surface attachment must not have overlapping
uv islands, because then the same uv coordinate would correspond to
multiple surface positions.

Previously, curves sculpt tools only worked on original data. This was
very limiting, because one could effectively only sculpt the curves when
all procedural effects were turned off. This patch adds support for curves
sculpting while looking the result of procedural effects (like deformation
based on the surface mesh). This functionality is also known as "crazy space"
support in Blender.

This splits out the code that samples points on a surface and the
code that initializes new curves. This code will be reused by D15134.
