The design for how we approach the "Everything Nodes" project
has changed. We will focus on a different part of the project initially.
While future me will likely refer back to some of the code I remove here,
there is no point in keeping this code around in master currently.
It would just confuse other developers working on the project.
This does not remove the simulation modifier and data block. Those are
just cleaned up, so that the boilerplate code can be reused in the future.
This replaces header include guards with `#pragma once`.
A couple of include guards are not removed yet (e.g. `__RNA_TYPES_H__`),
because they are used in other places.
This patch has been generated by P1561 followed by `make format`.

The hardcoded age limit is now gone. The behavior can be implemented
with an Age Reached Event and Kill Particle node. Other utility nodes
to handle age limits of particles can be added later. Adding an
Age Limit attribute to particles on birth will be useful for some effects,
e.g. when you want to control the color or size of a particle over its
life time.
The Random Float node takes a seed currently. Different nodes will
produce different values even with the same seed. However, the same
node will generate the same random number for the same seed every
time. The "Hash" of a particle can be used as seed. Later, we'd want
to have more modes in the node to make it more user friendly.
Modes could be: Per Particle, Per Time, Per Particle Per Time,
Per Node Instance, ...
Also a Random Vector node will be useful, as it currently has to be
build using three Random Float nodes.
Object sockets work now, but only the new Object Transforms and the
Particle Mesh Emitter node use it. The emitter does not actually
use the mesh surface yet. Instead, new particles are just emitted around
the origin of the object.
Internally, handles to object data blocks are passed around in the network,
instead of raw object pointers. Using handles has a couple of benefits:
* The caller of the function has control over which handles can be resolved
and therefore limit access to specific data. The set of data blocks that
is accessed by a node tree should be known statically. This is necessary
for a proper integration with the dependency graph.
* When the pointer to an object changes (e.g. after restarting Blender),
all handles are still valid.
* When an object is deleted, the handle is invalidated without causing crashes.
* The handle is just an integer that can be stored per particle and can be cached easily.
The mapping between handles and their corresponding data blocks is
stored in the Simulation data block.
This also introduces the `blender::nodes` namespace. Eventually,
we want to move most/all of the node implementation files into
this namespace.
The reason for this file-move is that the code fits much better
into the `nodes` directory than in the `blenkernel` directory.
This adds new callbacks to `bNodeSocketType` and `bNodeType`.
Those are used to generate a multi-function network from a node
tree. Later, this network is evaluated on e.g. particle data.

Since the function only iterates over the input members,
and matches their identifiers, `bNode *`can be `const`.
All other usages of the `nodeFindSocket` use it with
other functions that modify the node. (e.g.: ``nodeAddLink` )
But an exporter needs the node to be a `const`, so this
creates unnecessary and slightly unsafe design changes.

This adds an embedded node tree to the simulation data block dna.
The UI in the `Simulation Editor` has been updated to show a list
of simulation data blocks, instead of individual node trees.
The new `SpaceNodeEditor.simulation` property wraps the existing
`SpaceNodeEditor.id` property. It allows scripts to get and set
the simulation data block that is being edited.

RE_engine_register_pass is sometimes in the headers with type
as an integer parameter, sometimes as eNodeSocketDatatype.
This caused warnings, the root cause was makesrna was not able
to generate the proper type for enums and defaulted to int.
makesrna has been extended with the RNA_def_property_enum_native_type
that allows telling makesrna the native type of an enum, if set it
will be used otherwise it will still fall back to int.

The old convention was easy to confuse with ScrArea.
Part of https://developer.blender.org/T74432.
This is mostly a batch rename with some manual fixing. Only single word
variable names are changed, no prefixed/suffixed names.
Brecht van Lommel and Campbell Barton both gave me a green light for
this convention change.
Also ran clan clang format on affected files.
Currently the link limit of sockets is stored in bNodeSocket->limit.
This allows for a lot of flexibility, but is also very redundant.
In every case I've had to deal with so far, it would have "more correct"
to set the link limit per socket type and not per socket. I did not enforce
this constraint yet, because the link limit is exposed in the Python API,
which I did not want to break here.
In the future it might even make sense to only support only three kinds of link limits:
a) no links, b) at most one link, c) an arbitrary number links links. The other link
limits usually don't work well with tools (e.g. which link should be removed when a new
one is connected?) and is not used in practice. However, that is for another day.
Eventually, I would like to get rid of bNodeSocket->limit completely and replace it
either with fixed link limits or a callback in bNodeSocketType.
This patch consists of three parts:
**1. Support defining link limit in socket type**
This introduces a new `nodeSocketLinkLimit` function that serves as an indirection to
hide where the link limit of a socket is defined.
**2. Define link limits for builtin sockets on socket type**
Data sockets: one input, many outputs
Virtual sockets: one input, one output
Undefined sockets: many inputs, many outputs (to avoid that links are removed when the type of the socket is not known)
**3. Remove `bNodeSocketTemplate->limit`**
This wasn't used anymore after the second commit. Removing it simplifies socket definitions
in hundreds of places and removes a lot of redundancy.

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...
This node provides the ability to rotate a vector around a `center` point using either `Axis Angle` , `Single Axis` or `Euler` methods.

Custom render passes are added in the Shader AOVs panel in the view layer
settings, with a name and data type. In shader nodes, an AOV Output node
is then used to output either a value or color to the pass.
Arbitrary names can be used for these passes, as long as they don't conflict
with built-in passes that are enabled. The AOV Output node can be used in both
material and world shader nodes.
Implemented by Lukas, with tweaks by Brecht.

Was caused by the bump node not being evaluated because the other branch
was evaluated before.
To fix this, we use fromnode instead of tonode.
Also we fix a potential issue with recursiveness because
ntree_shader_copy_branch() also use nodeChainIterBackwards() which would
reset the iter_flag in the middle of the parent iteration. Use iter_flag
as a bitflag for each iteration to fix this.
This patch adds a new Vertex Color node. The node also returns the alpha
of the vertex color layer as an output.

NodeTree structures of materials and some other data blocks are
effectively node group datablock objects that are contained inside
the parent block. Thus, direct references to them are only valid
while blender is running, and are lost on save.
Fix Copy As New Driver to create a reference that goes through
the owner datablock, by adding a new ID flag to mark private
pseudo-datablocks.
Also fix functions that return full paths to structures and
properties, e.g. used in python tooltips. Functions for paths
from ID to struct or property can't be changed because of
Animation Data related code.

This reverts commits 54fd8176d7, 4c5becb6b1 and 8f578150e.
Those kind of commits must be reviewed and approved by project owners.
That one:
* Broke Collada building by not properly updating all calls to modified
function.
* Broke *whole* ID management by not properly updating library_query.c.
And in general, I am strongly against backward ID pointers, those are
*always* a serious PITA for ID management. Sometimes they cannot be
avoided, but in general other ways to get that kind of info should be
investigated first.
