Selecting random percentage would not reliably guarantee the precise
percentage of selected elements now randomize an index array instead
and use the precise number of elements from this array.
Note that this change has only been made to edit-mesh
and should be applied to all random selection operators.
- Don't use `r_` prefix for an argument that's also read from
(this is meant for return only arguments).
- Rename variables to make it clear the distance is pixels,
using manhattan length measurement.
Regression in 80cbbd2843.
Unfortunately keeping selection picking behavior as well as
supporting finding the nearest face within a radius requires an
inconsistency between x-ray and back-buffer selection that
doesn't work well using the current arguments.
Resolve by adding an argument that causes the input distance
to be ignored for back-buffer selection.
This is used by selection picking but not the knife tool.
This changes behavior for path-selection in face mode,
which now uses a margin for back-buffer selection.
From my own testing this doesn't seem to be a problem like it could be
for regular selection picking.
Respect the distance argument to EDBM_face_find_nearest,
when zero, sample a single pixel, otherwise sample a region.
Knife uses the selection-buffer to pick a face when the ray-cast failed.
This was meant to allow snapping to nearby faces however as the margin
was ignored, it was only used in edge cases where the ray-cast missed
but the pixel didn't.
Now the face-picking threshold is working as expected.
Note that other callers to EDBM_face_find_nearest have been updated
so set their distance argument to zero so this only impacts the knife.
Regular selection and path select could be modified separately if users
prefer this behavior.
In two cases the percentage property was actually used incorrectly, as
pointed out in T82070. The range was [0, 1], but the properties were still
displayed as percentages.
There is a preference to control whether to display factors or
percentages, so it usually doesn't make sense to manually define
properties as percentages.

Approximately 138 changes in the spelling of compound words
and proper names like "Light Probe", "Shrink/Fatten", "Face Map".
In many cases, hyphens were used where they aren't correct, like
"re-fit". Other common changes include:
- "Datablock" -> "data-block"
- "Floating point" -> "floating-point"
- "Ngons" -> "n-gons"
These changes help give the language used in the interface
a consistent, more professional feel.

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.
Edge Index display were not showing up after performing
"Select Boundary Loops" when in face selection mode. The operation
tagged the mesh that the selection was changed, but in the end this
didn't do anything within the depsgraph.
The fix changes this to recalc the geometry of the object. What also
syncs the selectmode flags. A better solution would be to update the
select flags only. But that could be done as future work when we have a
performance problems.
As a followup to rB6f4e595e9ba9 and as per @campbellbarton suggestion,
this adds EDBM_selectmode_disable_multi, similar to
EDBM_mesh_deselect_all_multi & EDBM_mesh_deselect_all, so other similar
uses don't need to be done in a loop.
Also, selected_objects isn't a reliable way to handle this case - since
objects can be in edit-mode & not selected, use
BKE_view_layer_array_from_bases_in_edit_mode_unique_data instead

Particularly noticeable when vertex painting with a subsurf modifier.
In some cases every sculpt or paint stroke step would evaluate the dependency
graph. This should only happen for redraws. Now more selectively choose if the
dependency graph should be evaluated to initialize the view context. Doing it
in the view context evaluation is somewhat hidden, now it's more explicit.

The previous method only worked in simple cases where faces were
surrounded by non-manifold edges.
Now face regions surrounded by non-manifold edges are marked as interior.
Starting with regions most perpendicular to the surrounding geometry.

Remove unused OBJECT_OT_mode_set_or_submode, add
OBJECT_OT_mode_set_with_submode which can switch to edit mode as well
as a sub-mode - currently only mesh select mode is supported
(others may be added later).
This commit changes the functionality of the Poly build tool to make it more suitable for retopology tasks:
- Click and drag from a boundary edge extrudes a new quad
- Click and drag on vertices tweaks the position
- Ctrl + click adds geometry. There is a geometry preview in the gizmo. It also can automatically convert triangles to quads.
- Shift + click deletes mesh elements (faces or vertices)
- Updated preselection code. Different mesh elements take priority depending on the selected action.

But in the future the selection code may also be used in object mode (eg for snapping).
So to avoid using too much VRAM resources, it is good to avoid drawing all objects in the viewport.
The solution was to create an array with only objects that are detected within the selection area.
If the selection operator is modal, objects already detected are not removed from the array until view3d is moved or orbited.
To detect the object, its BoundBox is tested.
Since the Select Engine does not have a dedicated depth texture, whenever a new object is "found" the depth of the objects in the array already drawn is redrawn.

This patch does not bring functional changes, but it is a good change if we want to use these utilities in areas other than those using BMesh (eg painting editors).
This is also a step to replace `ED_view3d_select_id_validate`. That function erroneously checks `V3D_INVALID_BACKBUF` which causes it to update unnecessarily.
