The main issue is that the image and image user is not updated correctly
in `rna_ImageUser_update`. `BKE_image_user_frame_calc` does not set the
correct frame, because the image is null. Also `IMA_GPU_REFRESH` is not
set for the same reason.
When gpu materials are first created, it is expected that the frame is set
correctly, and the flag is set if necessary. Therefore, somewhere during
depsgraph evaluation, those have to be updated. The depsgraph node
to do the update existed already. Now there is a new relation so that it is
executed when the node tree changed, not only when the frame changed.
Use the ID.recalc flag to detect when updates after frame-change is
needed. Since comparing the last calculated frame doesn't take undo into
account (see code-comment for details).
`ID_RECALC_AUDIO_SEEK` has been renamed to `ID_RECALC_FRAME_CHANGE`
since this is not only related to audio however internally this flag is
still categorized in `NodeType::AUDIO`.

The issue was happening with a specific file where the ID management
code was not fully copying all modifiers because of the extra check
in the `BKE_object_support_modifier_type_check()`.
While it is arguable that copy-on-write should be a 1:1 copy there is
no real need to maintain the per-modifier pointer to its original.
Use its SessionUUID to perform lookup in the original datablock.
Downside of this approach is that it is a linear lookup instead of
direct pointer access, but the upside is that there is less pointers
to manage and that the file with unsupported modifiers does behave
correct without any asserts.

Currently, audio and video strips are synchronized based on data from
media stream, which is nice, but this causes gaps between strips.
This synchronization was implemented by moving movie strip position
relative to sound, which doesn't make much sense for user which is
mostly interested in editing video.
Code was bit hard to read, so it has been simplified. Ideally video
stream time would be easily accessible so synchronization could be done
at any time, but this is not necessary at this point.

This patch introduces an extrude node with three modes. The vertex mode
is quite simple, and just attaches new edges to the selected vertices.
The edge mode attaches new faces to the selected edges. The faces mode
extrudes patches of selected faces, or each selected face individually,
depending on the "Individual" boolean input.
The default value of the "Offset" input is the mesh's normals, which
can be scaled with the "Offset Scale" input.
**Attribute Propagation**
Attributes are transferred to the new elements with specific rules.
Attributes will never change domains for interpolations. Generally
boolean attributes are propagated with "or", meaning any connected
"true" value that is mixed in for other types will cause the new value
to be "true" as well. The `"id"` attribute does not have any special
handling currently.
Vertex Mode
- Vertex: Copied values of selected vertices.
- Edge: Averaged values of selected edges. For booleans, edges are
selected if any connected edges are selected.
Edge Mode
- Vertex: Copied values of extruded vertices.
- Connecting edges (vertical): Average values of connected extruded
edges. For booleans, the edges are selected if any connected
extruded edges are selected.
- Duplicate edges: Copied values of selected edges.
- Face: Averaged values of all faces connected to the selected edge.
For booleans, faces are selected if any connected original faces
are selected.
- Corner: Averaged values of corresponding corners in all faces
connected to selected edges. For booleans, corners are selected
if one of those corners are selected.
Face Mode
- Vertex: Copied values of extruded vertices.
- Connecting edges (vertical): Average values of connected selected
edges, not including the edges "on top" of extruded regions.
For booleans, edges are selected when any connected extruded edges
were selected.
- Duplicate edges: Copied values of extruded edges.
- Face: Copied values of the corresponding selected faces.
- Corner: Copied values of corresponding corners in selected faces.
Individual Face Mode
- Vertex: Copied values of extruded vertices.
- Connecting edges (vertical): Average values of the two neighboring
edges on each extruded face. For booleans, edges are selected
when at least one neighbor on the extruded face was selected.
- Duplicate edges: Copied values of extruded edges.
- Face: Copied values of the corresponding selected faces.
- Corner: Copied values of corresponding corners in selected faces.
**Differences from edit mode**
In face mode (non-individual), the behavior can be different than the
extrude tools in edit mode-- this node doesn't handle keeping the back-
faces around in the cases that the edit mode tools do. The planned
"Solidify" node will handle that use case instead. Keeping this node
simpler and faster is preferable at this point, especially because that
sort of "smart" behavior is not that predictable and makes less sense
in a procedural context.
In the future, an "Even Offset" option could be added to this node
hopefully fairly simply. For now it is left out in order to keep
the patch simpler.
**Implementation**
For the implementation, the `Mesh` data structure is used directly
rather than converting to `BMesh` and back like D12224. This optimizes
for large extrusion operations rather than many sequential extrusions.
While this is potentially more verbose, it has some important benefits:
First, there is no conversion to and from `BMesh`. The code only has
to fill arrays and it can do that all at once, making each component of
the algorithm much easier to optimize. It also makes the attribute
interpolation more explicit, and likely faster. Only limited topology
maps must be created in most cases.
While there are some necessary loops and allocations with the size of
the entire mesh, I tried to keep everything I could on the order of the
size of the selection rather than the size of the mesh. In that respect,
the individual faces mode is the best, since there is no topology
information necessary, and the amount of work just depends on the size
of the selection.
Modifying an existing mesh instead of generating a new one was a bit
of a toss-up, but has a few potential benefits:
- Avoids manually copying over attribute data for original elements.
- Avoids some overhead of creating a new mesh.
- Can potentially take advantage of future ammortized mesh growth.
This could be changed easily if it turns out to be the wrong choice.

Editing of generic attributes on the original objects in edit modes is
still very limited. However, when applying a geometry nodes modifier
that generates new attributes. These attributes will show up in the
Attributes panel.
Currently, our exporters are not capable of exporting generic attributes.
Therefore, for the time being, a work around is to apply geometry nodes
and then convert a generic attribute to a task specific attribute like a
uv map, vertex group or vertex color layer. Once more parts of Blender
support generic attributes, this will become less important.
Currently, only meshes are supported by the operator. However, it would
be relatively easy to extend it to other geometry types.

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 brush fixes the random spikes that
occasionally happen in multires models.
These spikes can be nearly impossible to
fix manually and can make working with
multires a nightmare.
Since vertex and face normals are now stored on the mesh when necessary,
we can expose them as contiguous arrays of vectors in the Python API.
This can give render engines and other addons easy access to they data
for fast access through a regular collection property.
While "Mesh Vertex" still has a "normal" property in RNA, that is only
maintained in order to avoid breaking the existing API, and accessing
it is less efficient than accessing the normals directly.
I made the normal arrays read-only, because modifying them could
put them in an invalid state. This is inline with how we treat the data
internally, and helps keep relationships between data clear.

Override layers are a standard feature of Alembic, where archives can override
data from other archives, provided that the hierarchies match.
This is useful for modifying a UV map, updating an animation, or even creating
some sort of LOD system where low resolution meshes are swapped by high resolution
versions.
It is possible to add UV maps and vertex colors using this system, however, they
will only appear in the spreadsheet editor when viewing evaluated data, as the UV
map and Vertex color UI only show data present on the original mesh.
Implementation wise, this adds a `CacheFileLayer` data structure to the `CacheFile`
DNA, as well as some operators and UI to present and manage the layers. For both
the Alembic importer and the Cycles procedural, the main change is creating an
archive from a list of filepaths, instead of a single one.
After importing the base file through the regular import operator, layers can be added
to or removed from the `CacheFile` via the UI list under the `Override Layers` panel
located in the Mesh Sequence Cache modifier. Layers can also be moved around or
hidden.

As described in T91186, this commit moves mesh vertex normals into a
contiguous array of float vectors in a custom data layer, how face
normals are currently stored.
The main interface is documented in `BKE_mesh.h`. Vertex and face
normals are now calculated on-demand and cached, retrieved with an
"ensure" function. Since the logical state of a mesh is now "has
normals when necessary", they can be retrieved from a `const` mesh.
The goal is to use on-demand calculation for all derived data, but
leave room for eager calculation for performance purposes (modifier
evaluation is threaded, but viewport data generation is not).
**Benefits**
This moves us closer to a SoA approach rather than the current AoS
paradigm. Accessing a contiguous `float3` is much more efficient than
retrieving data from a larger struct. The memory requirements for
accessing only normals or vertex locations are smaller, and at the
cost of more memory usage for just normals, they now don't have to
be converted between float and short, which also simplifies code
In the future, the remaining items can be removed from `MVert`,
leaving only `float3`, which has similar benefits (see T93602).
Removing the combination of derived and original data makes it
conceptually simpler to only calculate normals when necessary.
This is especially important now that we have more opportunities
for temporary meshes in geometry nodes.
**Performance**
In addition to the theoretical future performance improvements by
making `MVert == float3`, I've done some basic performance testing
on this patch directly. The data is fairly rough, but it gives an idea
about where things stand generally.
- Mesh line primitive 4m Verts: 1.16x faster (36 -> 31 ms),
showing that accessing just `MVert` is now more efficient.
- Spring Splash Screen: 1.03-1.06 -> 1.06-1.11 FPS, a very slight
change that at least shows there is no regression.
- Sprite Fright Snail Smoosh: 3.30-3.40 -> 3.42-3.50 FPS, a small
but observable speedup.
- Set Position Node with Scaled Normal: 1.36x faster (53 -> 39 ms),
shows that using normals in geometry nodes is faster.
- Normal Calculation 1.6m Vert Cube: 1.19x faster (25 -> 21 ms),
shows that calculating normals is slightly faster now.
- File Size of 1.6m Vert Cube: 1.03x smaller (214.7 -> 208.4 MB),
Normals are not saved in files, which can help with large meshes.
As for memory usage, it may be slightly more in some cases, but
I didn't observe any difference in the production files I tested.
**Tests**
Some modifiers and cycles test results need to be updated with this
commit, for two reasons:
- The subdivision surface modifier is not responsible for calculating
normals anymore. In master, the modifier creates different normals
than the result of the `Mesh` normal calculation, so this is a bug
fix.
- There are small differences in the results of some modifiers that
use normals because they are not converted to and from `short`
anymore.
**Future improvements**
- Remove `ModifierTypeInfo::dependsOnNormals`. Code in each modifier
already retrieves normals if they are needed anyway.
- Copy normals as part of a better CoW system for attributes.
- Make more areas use lazy instead of eager normal calculation.
- Remove `BKE_mesh_normals_tag_dirty` in more places since that is
now the default state of a new mesh.
- Possibly apply a similar change to derived face corner normals.
