This patch adds the missing ability to keep the vertex groups when converting to a grease pencil object. This is increadible useful to create rigged grease pencil objects which move together with rigged meshes.

Clearing the parent from the UI using the X (or from python) clears the
`parsubstr` and set `partype` back to `PAROBJECT`.
Using the Clear Parent operator would leave the `parsubstr` (and thus
`parent_bone`) untouched even though this operator claims to "clear
parenting relationship completely" (it also removes parent deform
modifiers for example).
So now, also clear `parsubstr` and set back to `PAROBJECT` [which is
default].

Add Apply Constraint, Duplicate Constraint, and Copy To Selected
operators, and include them in a menu similar to the menu for modifiers.
The shortcuts in the extras menu are also matched to modifiers.
All the here added operators are intended to work exactly like the
analogous ones for modifiers. That means the apply operator should apply
a constraint as if it was first in the list, just like modifiers do. I
have added the same warning message as for modifiers when that happens.
The decision to use this approach of appling the constraint as if it was
first, was made for consistency with modifiers. People are already used
to how it works there. Is also provides more intricate control over the
applied transforms, then just applying all constraints up to that one.
Apply all constraints is already kinda implemented in Bake Animation.

Fix T90166: crash when creating a liboverride.

This patch changes the drop named material tooltip to give feedback to
the user what is going to happen when they invoke the change.
There are 3 states:
* "": Operator will be canceled as not all data is present (dropping on
background.)
* "Drop <named material> on <object name> (slot <slot number>, replacing
<current material in slot>).
* "Drop <named material> on <object name> (slot <slot number).

Currently when dropping an asset the first material slot is always updated.
This patch changes that logic to update the active material slot.
In future the behavior will be updated to use the material slot of the face under the cursor.
That requires better feedback tot he user.

Because mesh vertex and face normals are just derived data, they can
be calculated lazily instead of eagerly. Often normal calculation is
a relatively expensive task, and the calculation is often redundant
if the mesh is deformed afterwards anyway.
Instead, normals should be calculated only when they are needed. This
commit moves in that direction by adding a new function to tag a mesh's
normals dirty and replacing normal calculation with it in some places.

These functions do not change their source or input mesh, so it can
be passed with const, which means in one case that a function doesn't
have to be responsible for freeing its argument mesh, which is a clearly
better separation of concerns.
This was reported in T90026 for attributes, but was also true for:
- UVMaps
- Vertex Colors
- Sculpt Vertex Colors
- Face Maps
For Vertex groups and Shapekeys this was already done (in that their
remove poll would check if there is a vertex group or shapekey to begin
with), now make this consistent across all mentioned types.
Thx @vvv for the initial patch (where this was done for attributes only)

We need to be more strict about trying to retrieve a list of vertex group
names from objects now, as only three object types support them.
This commit adds a check for vertex group support in a few places, the
data transfer operator/modifier, copying vertex groups to selected
objects, and the vertex group remove and clear functions.

This commit moves the storage of `bDeformGroup` and the active index
to `Mesh`, `Lattice`, and `bGPdata` instead of `Object`. Utility
functions are added to allow easy access to the vertex groups given
an object or an ID.
As explained in T88951, the list of vertex group names is currently
stored separately per object, even though vertex group data is stored
on the geometry. This tends to complicate code and cause bugs,
especially as geometry is created procedurally and tied less closely
to an object.
The "Copy Vertex Groups to Linked" operator is removed, since they
are stored on the geometry anyway.
This patch leaves the object-level python API for vertex groups in
place. Creating a geometry-level RNA API can be a separate step;
the changes in this commit are invasive enough as it is.
Note that opening a file saved in 3.0 in an earlier version means
the vertex groups will not be available.

Rename:
- EDBM_mesh_free -> EDBM_mesh_free_data
BKE_editmesh_free -> BKE_editmesh_free_data
Since this doesn't free the edit-mesh pointer.
- BKE_editmesh_free_derivedmesh -> BKE_editmesh_free_derived_caches
Since this no longer uses derived-mesh, match naming for the related
object function BKE_object_free_derived_caches.
Also remove `do_tessellate` argument from BKE_editmesh_create,
since the caller can explicitly do this if it's needed,
with the advantage that it can be combined with normal calculation
which is faster on high-poly meshes.
In addition to _object_ animation, now _object data_ (mesh, curve, ...)
animation can now be made single user as well.
This came up in T89369 and while it is possible to do this via the
Outliner [where all actions have to be selected individually], this
seems to be more convenient to be done from the 3DView.
note: usercount of the action is checked now, if it single-user already,
no copy takes place (same thing could/should be done for
single_object_action_users as well).
note2: obdata is made single user as well (otherwise duplicated actions
will be assigned to the same shared obdata - which does not result in
unique animadata which is what we are after here)

Previously the smooth shading of the voxel remesher was controlled by a
mesh property. With this change, the output will try to match the
current shading of the object. This only takes into consideration the
shading mode of the first polygon of the model, but it is probably what
most users expect as it works as intended with the shade smooth/flat
object mode options.

The depth cache (located in `RegionView3D::depths`) is used for quick
and simple occlusion testing in:
- particle selection,
- "Draw Curve" operator and
- "Interactive Light Track to Cursor" operator,
However, keeping a texture buffer in cache is not a recommended practice.
For displays with high resolution like 8k this represents something
around 132MB.
Also, currently, each call to `ED_view3d_depth_override` invalidates
the depth cache. So that depth is never reused in multiple calls from
an operator (this was not the case in blender 2.79).
This commit allows to create a depth cache and release it in the same
operator. Thus, the buffer is kept in cache for a short time, freeing
up space.
No functional changes.
Similar to what we do for constraints and modifiers, except that
currently adding or editing shaderfx in liboverride objects is
completely unsuported.
Fix T88974.
Mainly:
* Make `ED_operator_object_active_editable_ex` properly report poll
messages on failure.
* Add `ED_operator_object_active_local_editable_posemode_exclusive` for
bone constraints requiring pure local Object (non-override one).
* General cleanup and adding more poll messages on failures.
Support calculating face normals when tessellating. When this is done
before updating vertex normals it gives ~20% performance improvement.
Now vertex normal calculation only needs to perform a single pass on the
mesh vertices when called after tessellation.
Extended versions of normal & looptri update functions have been added:
- BM_mesh_calc_tessellation_ex
- BM_mesh_normals_update_ex
Most callers don't need to be aware of this detail by using:
- BKE_editmesh_looptri_and_normals_calc
- BKE_editmesh_looptri_and_normals_calc_with_partial
- EDBM_update also takes advantage of this,
where calling EDBM_update with calc_looptri & calc_normals
enabled uses the faster normal updating logic.
Rename function EDBM_update_generic to EDBM_update, use a parameters
argument for better readability.
Also add calc_normals argument, which will have benefits when
calculating normals and tessellation together is optimized.
This moves the flash on mode transfer effect option from the overlays to
an operator property of the mode transfer operator.
- This effect is intended to show the target object when no overlays or
a minimal set of overlays is enabled. Making it part of the whole set of
overlays invalidates this use case.
- The effect is not intended to be configurable per viewport, it should
be a global option.
The effect is still implemented using the overlay engine (instead of a
draw modal callback) due to performance and drawing artifacts. Having it
implemented as an overlay with runtime timer data in the objects makes
also possible to run multiple animations at the same time without any
visual glitches.

The operator run when dropping objects would duplicate the dropped object and
place that in the scene, even though that was just appended. Addressed by
making the duplication optional for the operator. If the duplication is not
requested, the object is just added to the scene (if needed), repositioned
based on the drop location and selected (deselecting other objects).
This makes the operator work as expected when using it to drop assets.
