Add `bpy.app.is_job_running(job_type)` as high-level indicator. Job
types currently exposed are `WM_JOB_TYPE_RENDER`,
`WM_JOB_TYPE_RENDER_PREVIEW`, and `WM_JOB_TYPE_OBJECT_BAKE`, as strings
with the `WM_JOB_TYPE_` prefix removed. The functions can be polled by
Python code to determine whether such background work is still ongoing
or not.
Furthermore, new app handles are added for
`object_bake_{pre,complete,canceled}`, which are called respectively
before an object baking job starts, completes sucessfully, and stops due
to a cancellation.
Motivation: There are various cases where Python can trigger the
execution of a background job, without getting notification that that
background job is done. As a result, it's hard to do things like
cleanups, or auto-quitting Blender after the work is done.
The approach in this commit can easily be extended with other job types,
when the need arises. The rendering of asset previews is one that's
likely to be added sooner than later, as there have already been
requests about this.

Knowing when layers are retrieved for write access will be essential
when adding proper copy-on-write support. This commit makes that
clearer by adding `const` where the retrieved data is not modified.
Ref T95842
Works for both Cycles and multires bake. Triangles are baked to multiple
UDIM images if they span across them, though such UV layouts are generally
discouraged as there is no filtering across UDIM tiles.
The bake margin currently only works within UDIM tiles. For the extend method
this is logical, for the adjacent faces method it may be useful to support
copying pixels from other UDIM tiles, though this seems somewhat complicated.
Fixes T95190
Ref T72390
The "PROP" in the name reflects its generic status, and removing
"LOOP" makes sense because it is no longer associated with just
mesh face corners. In general the goal is to remove extra semantic
meaning from the custom data types.
Use the Extend method for these, as these do not work correctly. For UVs
it's better to extend the UVs from the same face, and for tangent space
the normals should be encoded in a matching tangent space.
Later the Adjacent Faces method might be improved to support these cases.

color attribute system.
This commit removes sculpt colors from experimental
status and unifies it with vertex colors. It
introduces the concept of "color attributes", which
are any attributes that represents colors. Color
attributes can be represented with byte or floating-point
numbers and can be stored in either vertices or
face corners.
Color attributes share a common namespace
(so you can no longer have a floating-point
sculpt color attribute and a byte vertex color
attribute with the same name).
Note: this commit does not include vertex paint mode,
which is a separate patch, see:

Also fixes missing code to read/write/free/copy color management settings
in various places. This can't be set through the UI currently, but still
should be handled consistently.
Without ray offsets intersections at neigbhoring triangles are found, as
the ray start is exactly at the vertex. There was a small offset towards
the center of the triangle, but not enough.
Now this offset computation is moved into Cycles and modified for better
results. It's still not perfect though like any offset approach, especially
with long thin triangles.
Additionaly, this uses the shadow terminate offset for AO rays now, which
helps remove some pre-existing artifacts.
This commit renames enums related the "Curve" object type and ID type
to add `_LEGACY` to the end. The idea is to make our aspirations clearer
in the code and to avoid ambiguities between `CURVE` and `CURVES`.
Ref T95355
To summarize for the record, the plans are:
- In the short/medium term, replace the `Curve` object data type with
`Curves`
- In the longer term (no immediate plans), use a proper data block for
3D text and surfaces.

Use the evaluated mesh to generate the Adjacent Faces margin.
Baking used the evaluated mesh, but generating the margin used the base
mesh. This would lead to generating the margin from a stale UV map when the
UV editor was open and the UV map was changed. Fix it by passing the same
mesh as used for baking through to the margin generation.

This significantly reduces discontinuities on UV seams, by giving a better
match of the texture filtered colors on both sides of the seam. It works by
using pixels from adjacent faces across the UV seam.
This new option is called "Adjacent Faces" and is the default. The old option
is called "Extend", and extends border pixels outwards.

Previously, `ImageTile->ok` and `ImageUser->ok` were used to indicate
whether an image failed to load. There were three possible values
which (probably) had the following meanings:
* `0`: There was an error while loading the image. Don't try to load again.
* `1`: Default value. Try to load the image.
* `2`: The image was loaded successfully.
This image-wide flag did not make sense unfortunately, because loading
may work for some frames of an image sequence but not for others.
Remember than an image data block can also contain a movie.
The purpose of the `->ok` flag was to serve as an optimization to avoid
trying to load a file over and over again when there is an error (e.g. the
file does not exist or is invalid). To get the optimization back, the patch
is changing `MovieCache` so that it can also cache failed load attempts.
As a consequence, `ibuf` is allowed to be `NULL` in a few more places.
I added the appropriate null checks.
This also solves issues when image sequences are used with the
Image Texture node in Geometry nodes (also see D12827).

Baking to Vertex Colors would always bake to sculpt vertex colors (if
such a layer is present) even if those are not enabled in the
experimental preferences. This would bake without an error but leave the
user without a result to look in the viewport.
Now check if sculpt vertex colors are enabled and only bake to them in
that case.

Baking vertex colors per-corner leads to unwanted discontinuities when there is
sampling noise, for example in ambient occlusion or with a bevel shader node for
normals. For this reason the code used to always average results per-vertex.
However when using split normals, multiple materials or UV islands, we do want to
preserve discontinuities. So now bake per corner, but make sure the sampling seed
is shared for vertices.
Fix T85550: vertex color baking crash with split normals, Ref D10399
Fix T84663: vertex color baking blending at UV seams
Since the introduction in rB2221389d6e8e, baking to vertex colors would
still check for the existence of a valid UVMap (as if baking to image
textures).
Now check for vertex colors instead if target is
R_BAKE_TARGET_VERTEX_COLORS.

In the Bake > Output panel, there is now a choice between Image Textures and
Vertex Colors. The active vertex color layer is used for baking. This works
with both existing per-corner and sculpt per-vertex vertex colors.
Split of internal/external image bake target code off into smaller functions and
refactor associated data structures for clarity. Designed so that a vertex color
bake target is easy to fit in.
Also avoid passing in a huge number of arguments into the main baking function,
pass a struct instead.
The abbreviation 'init' is brief, unambiguous and already used
in thousands of places, also initialize is often accidentally
written with British spelling.
This is in order to disolve GPU_draw.h into more meaningful code blocks.
All the Image related function are in `image_gpu.c`.
All the MovieClip related function are in `movieclip.c`.
The IMB module now has a connection with GPU. This is not strickly
necessary and the code could be move to `image_gpu.c` if needed.
The Image garbage collection is also ported to `image_gpu.c`.
The previous naming scheme for the "selected to active" baking options
lead to confusion and they were not describing what they actually did.
To remedy this, I've added a new settings that does what the older setting implied it did.
