Also add an error message for when the node is used on non-curves
objects, since there's nothing in the UI to show why it doesn't work
except for that. And also use quotes when referring to attribute names.
This name doesn't require understanding of fields, and
is phrased as an action which is consistent with other nodes.
Discussed in the latest geometry nodes sub-module meeting.
This adds three new nodes:
* `Shortest Edge Paths`: Actually finds the shortest paths.
* `Edge Paths to Curves`: Converts the paths to separate curves.
This may generate a quadratic amount of data, making it slow
for large meshes.
* `Edge Paths to Selection`: Generates an edge selection that
contains all edges that are part of a path. This can be used
with the Separate Geometry node to only keep the edges that
are part of a path. For large meshes, this approach can be
much faster than the `Edge Paths to Curves` node, because
less data is created.

It was never added for the field on domain and field at index nodes.
They need special handling because they have many what should be
a multi-type socket declaration.
Previously there was a special extraction process for "vertex colors"
that copied the color data to the GPU with a special format. Instead,
this patch replaces this with use of the generic attribute extraction.
This reduces the number of code paths, allowing easier optimization
in the future.
To make it possible to use the generic extraction system for attributes
but also assign aliases for use by shaders, some changes are necessary.
First, the GPU material attribute can now store whether it actually refers
to the default color attribute, rather than a specific name. This replaces
the hack to use `CD_MCOL` in the color attribute shader node. Second,
the extraction code checks the names against the default and active
names and assigns aliases if the request corresponds to a special active
attribute. Finally, support for byte color attributes was added to the
generic attribute extraction.

Changing the value doesn't accomplish anything, since the retrieved
value would be the same for every index then. So it's best to hide it
to make the node clearer.
`parallel_invoke` allows executing functions on separate threads.
However, creating tasks in tbb has a measurable amount of overhead.
Therefore, it can be benefitial to disable parallelization when
the amount of work done per function is small.
See D15539 for some benchmark results.

In a test producing 10 million vertices I observed a 3.6x improvement,
from 470ms to 130ms. The largest improvement comes from calculating
each mesh array on a separate thread. Besides that, the larger changes
come from splitting the filling of corner and face arrays, and
precalculating sines and cosines for each ring.
Using `parallel_invoke` does gives some overhead. On a small 32x16
input, the time went up from 51us to 74us. It could be disabled
for small outputs in the future. The reasoning for this parallelization
method instead of more standard data-size-based parallelism is that the
latter wouldn't be helpful except for very high resolution.
Since fd5e5dac89, the node would remove the attribute before
adding it again, which lost the vertex group status of an attribute,
meaning they were written as arbitrary attributes.
Now, the node first tries to write to attributes with the same domain
and data-type, which covers the vertex group case. Then it falls back
to removing the attribute and adding it again. Even that can fail
though, so I added an error message to make that a bit clearer.

Use the newer more generic sampling and interpolation functions
developed recently (ab444a80a2) instead of the `CurveEval` type.
Functions are split up a bit more internally, to allow a separate mode
for supplying the curve index directly in the future (T92474).
In one basic test, the performance seems mostly unchanged from 3.1.

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 commit ports the fillet curves node to the new curves data-block,
and moves the fillet node implementation to the geometry module to help
separate the implementation from the node.
The changes are similar to the subdivide node or resample node. I've
resused common utilities where it makes sense, though some things like
the iteration over attributes can be generalized further. The node
is now multi-threaded per-curve and inside each curve, and some buffers
are reused per curve to avoid many allocations.
The code is more explicit now, and though there is more boilerplate to
pass around many spans, the more complex logic should be more readable.

Previously, things like materials, symmetry, and selection options
stored on `Curves` weren't copied to the result in nodes like the
subdivide and resample nodes. Now they are, which fixes some
unexpected behavior and allows visualization of the sculpt mode
selection.
In the realize instances and join nodes the behavior is the same as
for meshes, the parameters are taken from the first (top) input.
I also refactored some functions to return a `CurvesGeometry` by-value,
which makes it the responsibility of the node to copy the parameters.
That should make the algorithms more reusable in other situations.

Currently, there are two attribute API. The first, defined in `BKE_attribute.h` is
accessible from RNA and C code. The second is implemented with `GeometryComponent`
and is only accessible in C++ code. The second is widely used, but only being
accessible through the `GeometrySet` API makes it awkward to use, and even impossible
for types that don't correspond directly to a geometry component like `CurvesGeometry`.
This patch adds a new attribute API, designed to replace the `GeometryComponent`
attribute API now, and to eventually replace or be the basis of the other one.
The basic idea is that there is an `AttributeAccessor` class that allows code to
interact with a set of attributes owned by some geometry. The accessor itself has
no ownership. `AttributeAccessor` is a simple type that can be passed around by
value. That makes it easy to return it from functions and to store it in containers.
For const-correctness, there is also a `MutableAttributeAccessor` that allows
changing individual and can add or remove attributes.
Currently, `AttributeAccessor` is composed of two pointers. The first is a pointer
to the owner of the attribute data. The second is a pointer to a struct with
function pointers, that is similar to a virtual function table. The functions
know how to access attributes on the owner.
The actual attribute access for geometries is still implemented with the `AttributeProvider`
pattern, which makes it easy to support different sources of attributes on a
geometry and simplifies dealing with built-in attributes.
There are different ways to get an attribute accessor for a geometry:
* `GeometryComponent.attributes()`
* `CurvesGeometry.attributes()`
* `bke::mesh_attributes(const Mesh &)`
* `bke::pointcloud_attributes(const PointCloud &)`
All of these also have a `_for_write` variant that returns a `MutabelAttributeAccessor`.

Curves that are attached to a surface can now follow the surface when
it is modified using shape keys or modifiers (but not when the original
surface is deformed in edit or sculpt mode).
The surface is allowed to be changed in any way that keeps uv maps
intact. So deformation is allowed, but also some topology changes like
subdivision.
The following features are added:
* A new `Deform Curves on Surface` node, which deforms curves with
attachment information based on the surface object and uv map set
in the properties panel.
* A new `Add Rest Position` checkbox in the shape keys panel. When checked,
a new `rest_position` vector attribute is added to the mesh before shape
keys and modifiers are applied. This is necessary to support proper
deformation of the curves, but can also be used for other purposes.
* The `Add > Curve > Empty Hair` operator now sets up a simple geometry
nodes setup that deforms the hair. It also makes sure that the rest
position attribute is added to the surface.
* A new `Object (Attach Curves to Surface)` operator in the `Set Parent To`
(ctrl+P) menu, which attaches existing curves to the surface and sets the
surface object as parent.
Limitations:
* Sculpting the procedurally deformed curves will be implemented separately.
* The `Deform Curves on Surface` node is not generic and can only be used
for one specific purpose currently. We plan to generalize this more in the
future by adding support by exposing more inputs and/or by turning it into
a node group.
