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.

This commit includes nodes to build the following primitives:
- Cone
- Cylinder
- Circle
- Cube
- UV Sphere
- Ico Sphere
- Line
- Plane/Grid
In general the inputs are the same as the corresponding operators
in the 3D view.
**Line Primitive**
The line primitive has two modes-- adding vertices between two end
points, or adding vertices each at an offset from the start point.
For the former mode, there is a choice between a vertex count
and a distance between each point.
**Plane Primitive**
This commit includes the "Plane" and "Grid" primitives as one node.
Generally primitives are named after the simpler form of the shape they
create (i.e. "Cone" can make some more complex shapes). Also, generally
you want to tweak the number of subdivisions anyway, so defaulting to
plane is not an inconvenience. And generally having fewer redundant
base primitives is better.
**Future Improvements**
A following patch proposes to improve the speed of the cylinder, cone,
and sphere primitives: D10730. Additional possible future improvements
would be adding subdivisions to the cube node and rings to the cone
and cylinder nodes.

Add implicit `int32 to Color4f` conversion. Matches `int32 to float3` conversion logic.
This may not be the most useful conversion but prevents an error in the Attribute Convert node.

In the current implementation, cryptomatte passes are connected to the node
and elements are picked by using the eyedropper tool on a special pick channel.
This design has two disadvantages - both connecting all passes individually
and always having to switch to the picker channel are tedious.
With the new design, the user selects the RenderLayer or Image from which the
Cryptomatte layers are directly loaded (the type of pass is determined by an
enum). This allows the node to automatically detect all relevant passes.
Then, when using the eyedropper tool, the operator looks up the selected
coordinates from the picked Image, Node backdrop or Clip and reads the picked
object directly from the Renderlayer/Image, therefore allowing to pick in any
context (e.g. by clicking on the Combined pass in the Image Viewer). The
sampled color is looked up in the metadata and the actual name is stored
in the cryptomatte node. This also allows to remove a hash by just removing
the name from the matte id.
Technically there is some loss of flexibility because the Cryptomatte pass
inputs can no longer be connected to other nodes, but since any compositing
done on them is likely to break the Cryptomatte system anyways, this isn't
really a concern in practise.
In the future, this would also allow to automatically translate values to names
by looking up the value in the associated metadata of the input, or to get a
better visualization of overlapping areas in the Pick output since we could
blend colors now that the output doesn't have to contain the exact value.

This exposes the `crease` attribute, that is used by the Subdivide Smooth node.
It is also the first attribute on the edge domain. Domain interpolations for the

This commit adds a `normal` attribute on the polygon domain. Since
normal data is derived data purely based off of the location of each
face's vertices, it is exposed as a read-only attribute. After
rB80f7f1070f17, this attribute can be interpolated to the other domains.
Since this attribute is a special case compared to the others, the
implementation subclasses `BuiltinAttributeProvider`. It's possible
there is a better way to abstract this. Something else might also
become apparent if we add similar read-only attributes.
See rB2966871a7a891bf36 for why this is preferred over the previous
implementation.

The Attribute Convert node provides functionality to change attributes
between different domains and data types. Before it was impossible to
write to a UV Map attribute with the attribute math nodes since they
did not output a 2D vector type. This makes it possible to
"convert into" a UV map attribute.
The data type conversion uses the implicit conversions provided by
`\nodes\intern\node_tree_multi_function.cc`.
The `Auto` domain mode chooses the domain based on the following rules:
1. If the result attribute already exists, use that domain.
2. If the result attribute doesn't exist, use the source attribute domain.
3. Otherwise use the default domain (points).
See {T85700}

The result value should be true if the input values are not zero.
Note that there is ongoing conversation about these conversions
in D10685. This is simply a fix though.
This patch adds a node, that removes an attribute if possible,
otherwise it adds an error message.

The multi-input-socket cannot be connected to the same socket twice currently.
However, it is still possible to achieve this using an intermediate reroute node.
In this case the origin socket should be listed twice in the `linked_sockets_` list.
Higher level functions can still deduplicate the list of they want.
This way we get a choice when we click on node links in the Properties
Editor.
This also changes some of the more permissive poll functions on some
nodes back to being "shading-only" (these were made permissive in
rBb78f2675d7e5 for simulation nodes, but have not found their way into
geometry nodes yet).

This conversion works the same way as a combination of the existing
color to float3 to boolean conversions, so the boolean result will be
false if the color is black, otherwise true, and the alpha is ignored.
This Patch removes the auto sorting from Multi-Input Sockets and allows
the links to be sorted by drag and drop instead.
As a minor related change, it fixes the drawing of the mute line to
connect to the first input instead of the socket's center.
This patch exposes the "Shade Smooth" value as a boolean attribute.
This setting is exposed as a check-box in the mesh data properties,
but the value is actually stored for every face, allowing some faces
to be shaded smooth with a simple per-face control.
One bonus, this allows at least a workaround to the lack of control
of whether meshes created by nodes are shaded smooth or not: just use
an attribute fill node.

This makes the following changes to the name of the two
geometry nodes subvision nodes:
- `Subdivision Surface` -> `Subdivide Smooth`
- `Subdivision Surface Simple` -> `Subdivide`
Most of the benefit is that the names are shorter, but it also better
mirrors the naming of operations in edit mode, and phrases the names
more like actions. This was discussed with the geometry nodes team.
This commit refactors the point distribute node to skip realizing
the instances created by the point instance node or the collection
and object info nodes. Realizing instances is not necessary here
because it copies all the mesh data and and interpolates all
attributes from the instances when this operation does not
need to modify the input geometry at all.
In the tree leaves test file this patch improves the performance of
the node by about 14%. That's not very much, the gain is likely larger
for more complicated input instances with more attributes (especially
attributes on different domains, where interpolation would be necessary
to join all of the instances). Another possible performance improvement
would be to parallelize the code in this node where possible.
The point distribution code unfortunately gets quite a bit more
complicated because it has to handle the complexity of having many
inputs instead of just one.
Note that this commit changes the randomness of the distribution
in some cases, as if the seed input had changed.

The actual sample count is rounded up to a multiple of 4 because we
sample 4 horizons directions.
Changing this setting forces the shader to recompile (because using a
GPU_constant).
The commit rB6f63417b500d that made exact boolean work on meshes
with holes (like Suzanne) unfortunately dramatically slowed things
down on other non-manifold meshes that don't have holes and didn't
need the per-triangle insideness test.
This adds a hole_tolerant parameter, false by default, that the user
can enable to get good results on non-manifold meshes with holes.
Using false for this parameter speeds up the time from 90 seconds
to 10 seconds on an example with 1.2M triangles.
This is a complete rewrite of the derived node tree data structure.
It is a much thinner abstraction about `NodeTreeRef` than before.
This gives the user of the derived node tree more control and allows
for greater introspection capabilities (e.g. before muted nodes were
completely abstracted away; this was convenient, but came with
limitations).
Another nice benefit of the new structure is that it is much cheaper
to build, because it does not inline all nodes and sockets in nested
node groups.

This attribute exposes mesh vertex normals as a `vertex_normal`
attribute for use with nodes. Since the normal vector stored in
vertices is only a cache of data computable from the surrounding faces,
the attribute is read-only. A proper error message for attempting to
write this attribute is part of T85749. A write-only normal attribute
will likely come later, most likely called `corner_normal`.
The normals are recomputed before reading if they are marked dirty.
This involves const write-access to the mesh, protected by the mutex
stored in `Mesh_Runtime`. This is essential for correct behavior after
nodes like "Edge Split" or nodes that adjust the position attribute.

Note that this still does not work when in the node group directly referenced
by the modifier, only in sub-node-groups. This limitation will be removed
at some point.
This commit exposes the strings used in the node error messages for
localization. It also changes the message tooltip creation to
automatically add the period at the end, to be more consistent with
the (arguably bad) design of other tooltips in Blender.
Calling `TIP_` directly in the node implementation files allows us to
continue using `std::string` concatenation instead of passing variadic
arguments. It's also more explicit about which part of the message is
translated and which isn't. The files already include the translation
header anyway.
