This adds vertex creasing support for OpenSubDiv for modeling, rendering,
Alembic and USD I/O.
For modeling, vertex creasing follows the edge creasing implementation with an
operator accessible through the Vertex menu in Edit Mode, and some parameter in
the properties panel. The option in the Subsurf and Multires to use edge
creasing also affects vertex creasing.
The vertex crease data is stored as a CustomData layer, unlike edge creases
which for now are stored in `MEdge`, but will in the future also be moved to
a `CustomData` layer. See comments for details on the difference in behavior
for the `CD_CREASE` layer between egdes and vertices.
For Cycles this adds sockets on the Mesh node to hold data about which vertices
are creased (one socket for the indices, one for the weigths).
Viewport rendering of vertex creasing reuses the same color scheme as for edges
and creased vertices are drawn bigger than uncreased vertices.
For Alembic and USD, vertex crease support follows the edge crease
implementation, they are always read, but only exported if a `Subsurf` modifier
is present on the Mesh.

This merge the description into one struct only that can be more easily
copied during `finalize()`.
The in and out layout parameters are better named and extended with the
invocation count (with fallback support)
Route cause was data alignment mismatch between GPU and CPU. This
mismatch would not allow us to bind the UBO where data wasn't available
on the GPU.
Fixed by using float4 in stead of float2. This could eventually be
packed, but that would lead to less readable code.
Cause of the issue isn't that clear, but the NVIDIA GLSL compiler
complained that it couldn't find an overloaded function when the second
parameter is an interger. This change fixes it by using a float.
This patch converts GPU_SHADER_2D_IMAGE_MULTI_RECT_COLOR shader to use
the GPUShaderCreateInfo pattern. It can be used as a reference when
converting other shaders.
In this special case the flat uniform vector cannot be used anymore as it
doesn't fit as push constants. To solve this a uniform buffer is used.
This is a first part of the Shader Create Info system could be.
A shader create info provides a way to define shader structure, resources
and interfaces. This makes for a quick way to provide backend agnostic
binding informations while also making shader variations easy to declare.
- Clear source input (only one file). Cleans up the GPU api since we can create a
shader from one descriptor
- Resources and interfaces are generated by the backend (much simpler than parsing).
- Bindings are explicit from position in the array.
- GPUShaderInterface becomes a trivial translation of enums and string copy.
- No external dependency to third party lib.
- Cleaner code, less fragmentation of resources in several libs.
- Easy to modify / extend at runtime.
- no parser involve, very easy to code.
- Does not hold any data, can be static and kept on disc.
- Could hold precompiled bytecode for static shaders.
This also includes a new global dependency system.
GLSL shaders can include other sources by using #pragma BLENDER_REQUIRE(...).
This patch already migrated several builtin shaders. Other shaders should be migrated
one at a time, and could be done inside master.
There is a new compile directive `WITH_GPU_SHADER_BUILDER` this is an optional
directive for linting shaders to increase turn around time.
What is remaining:
- pyGPU API {T94975}
- Migration of other shaders. This could be a community effort.

When rendering volume surfaces in unbounded worlds the volume stepping can produce large values. If used with a magic texture node the values can results in a Inf float which when used in a sin or cos produces a NaN.
To fix this the input values are mapped into the periodic range of the sin and cos functions (-2*PI 2*PI) this stops the possibility of a Inf occurring and thus the NaN. It also improves the accuracy and smoothness of the result due to loss of precision when large values are summed with smaller ones effectively removing the parts of the smaller number (i.e. those in the -2PI to 2PI range) that result in variation of the output of sin and cos.

Issue introduced in {7e66616b7e15} where the shader was replaced with a
2d image shader. This patch reverts several commits that removed the 3d
image shader.
We run into float precision issues here, clamp the number of octaves to
one less, which has little to no visual difference. This was empirically
determined to work up to 16 before, but with additional inputs like
roughness only 15 appears to work.
Also adds misisng clamp for the geometry nodes implementation.
This patch includes code from D9891 and D12754, so credit goes to Juanfran and Dalai.
I updated the patches to work with `master` and with the new overlay toggle.
The reason to include both changes as part of one patch is that the dimmed dashed lines work much better together with colored wires.
Theme setting for dash opacity:
{F11370574, size=full}
{F11286177, size=full, autoplay, loop}
{F11149912, size=full}
For adding the overlay I used `SpaceImageOverlay` as reference, although I'm not familiar with this code so there might be mistakes.

No functional change, just cleaning up the shader code a bit.
Part of this is removing dead code (the discard was never called), and
part is shuffling mix/max around based on feedback by Sybren Stüvel.
Use dashes to represent the function flow (while keeping continuous
lines for the data-flow).
It is important to tell both flows apart (the data and the function
flow). The sockets help with that, the noodles help this further.
The "data flow" is evaluated at every single node. A user can inspect
the output sockets of those nodes and have a glimpse at their values.
The "function flow" (nodes) however is only evaluated in the geometry
nodes. The noodles are not transporting data in the same sense of the
"data flow". All that can be inspected are the attributes the functions
depend on.
Having this clearly communicated should help users to inspect the
nodetrees, read and understand the different flows in the same tree.
---
Known limitations:
At the moment the dash lines are not equidistant:
* It would be nice to get the "uv.x" to be resampled for the bezier curve
so the dashes are equally distributed in the curve.
* Using distance between the P3 and P0 instead of the real bezier curve
length seems to be fine.
---
Full disclaimer:
Changes with that much of a visual impact tend to be controversial. So
far the main feedback is that dashed lines can be associated to broken
link, and that there are better ways to represent the flows (or
different information that should be visually represented).
I'm fully aware of that. However dashed lines are already used in the
viewport and outliner to indicate (hierarchical) relation. Besides,
other approaches (double-lines, having the data flow to be more
distinct, ...) didn't pan out in the end (or didn't look as good as
this).
---
Impact in other editors:
The compositor uses mostly a "data flow" nodetree, so no change is
expected there.
The shader nodetree is one that could but doesn't have to change its
visual language.
The shader nodetree uses mostly "function flow" with some "data flow" nodes.
One can argue that it should be adapted to follow the
same pattern as geometry nodes (with the new noodles and the diamond
sockets). Oh the other hand, a shader nodetree has a single context.
When a node depends on the "UV", there is only one UV at a time for the
entire nodetree. So it can also be treated as a psedo "data flow"
nodetree if we want to avoid too many changes in other parts of Blender.

This patch adds the ability to mute individual wires in the node editor.
This is invoked like the cut links operator but with a new shortcut.
Mute = Ctrl + Alt
Cut = Ctrl
Dragging over wires will toggle the mute state for that wire.
The muted wires are drawn in red with a bar across the center.
Red is used in the nodes context to indicate invalid links, muted links and internal links.
When a wire is muted it exposes the original node buttons which are normally hidden when a wire is connected.
Downstream and upstream links connected using reroute nodes are also muted.
Outside scope of patch:
- Add support for pynodes e.g. Animation Nodes
- Requires minor change to check for muted links using the `is_muted` link property or the `is_linked` socket property.
