This commit adds the ability to import USD Shape primitives (Gprims).
They are imported as Blender Meshes using the USD API to convert, so
that they appear the same as they would in other applications. USD
Shapes are important in many workflows, particularly in gaming, where
they are used for stand-in geometry or for collision primitives.
Pull Request #104707
Implements T103858: in OBJ importer and exporter, and in Collada
exporter, present axis choices as a dropdown instead of inline button
row.

This addressed feature request T99811.
Added the following features to fully support importing USDZ archives:
- Added .usdz to the list of supported extensions.
- Added new USD import options to copy textures from USDZ archives. The
textures may be imported as packed data (the default) or to a directory
on disk.
- Extended the USD material import logic to handle package-relative texture
assets paths by invoking the USD asset resolver to copy the textures from
the USDZ archive to a directory on disk. When importing in Packed mode,
the textures are first saved to Blender's temporary session directory
prior to packing.
The new USD import options are
- Import Textures: Behavior when importing textures from a USDZ archive
- Textures Directory: Path to the directory where imported textures will
be copied
- File Name Collision: Behavior when the name of an imported texture file
conflicts with an existing file
Import Textures menu options:
- None: Don't import textures
- Packed: Import textures as packed data (the default)
- Copy: Copy files to Textures Directory
File Name Collision menu options:
- Use Existing: If a file with the same name already exists, use that
instead of copying (the default)
- Overwrite: Overwrite existing files

The new Xcode 14.1 brings the new Apple Clang compiler which
considers sprintf unsafe and geenrates deprecation warnings
suggesting to sue snprintf instead. This only happens for C++
code by default, and C code can still use sprintf without any
warning.
This changes does the following:
- Whenever is trivial replace sprintf() with BLI_snprintf.
- For all other cases use the newly introduced BLI_sprintf
which is a wrapper around sprintf() but without warning.
There is a discouragement note in the BLI_sprintf comment to
suggest use of BLI_snprintf when the size is known.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D16410
These functions are almost identical, the main difference being
BLI_join_dirfile didn't trim existing slashes when joining paths
however this isn't an important difference that warrants a separate
function.
Requested in D16095 proposal - also USD & Alembic have import scale
option; OBJ has an export scale object but the import scale
was not there for some reason.
We now import and apply custom normals using a similar strategy
to the STL importer. We store custom normal data for each loop
as we read each MPoly and then apply it to the mesh after
`BKE_mesh_calc_edges()` is called.
The new behavior is optional and may be disabled in the Collada import
UI. When disabled, we use the old behavior of only using normals
to determine whether or not to smooth shade an MPoly.
----
Patch as requested in {T49814}.
The Collada import UI now has an additional checkbox, similar to the glTF and FBX import UIs:
{F13428264}
Here is a test Collada file with a simple test cube with flipped custom normals:
{F13428260}
{F13428282}
And a sphere where the two halves are disconnected geometry, but has custom normals that make the halves appear to be connected:
{F13436363}
{F13436368}
I've tested it on a number of my own meshes, and the custom normals appear to be imported
correctly. I'm not too sure about how I've plumbed the option down, though, or whether this
is the most proper way to apply custom normals.

Implement import & export support for "PBR extensions" in .mtl files
(T101029, also fixes T86736).
Newly supported parameters:
- Roughness (Pr, map_Pr)
- Metallic (Pm, map_Pm)
- Sheen (Ps, map_Ps)
- Clearcoat thickness (Pc) and roughness (Pcr)
- Anisotropy (aniso) and rotation (anisor)
- Transmittance (Tf / Kt)
Exporter has an option to enable these additional PBR parameters
export; defaults to off since not all software understands that.
Exporter UI tweaked and all material-related options were put into
their own separate box.
Added/extended test files in Subversion repository for test coverage.
These changes were implemented by Sonny Campbell.
Fixed the first issue by freeing the operator customdata when the import

A couple years ago D8598 made it so that C++ operators generally
should use "default" sort mode, which remembers previously used sort
setting. Back then all the places that needed it got changed to use
this "default" one, but since then some more IO code landed, where
seemingly by accident it used "sort by file name":
- USD importer,
- Grease Pencil exporter,
- OBJ importer & exporter,
- STL importer.

Implement ideas from T96297:
- Fix "invalid axis settings" (both forward & up along the same
direction) validation: now similar to the Python based code, when
invalid axis is applied, the other axis is changed to not conflict.
- Make axis enums be expanded inside the row, similar to Collada UI.
- Move "selected only" near the top, similar to how it's in Collada,
USD, FBX and glTF export UIs.
- Move animation export options to the bottom.
Follow up to D15904, a bunch of places had exact same logic for
"is filepath set? if not, set some default one", so factor all that out
into a separate ED_fileselect_ensure_default_filepath function.
Most/all C++ based IO code had a pattern of doing using
RNA_struct_property_is_set to check whether a default path needs to
be set. However, it returns false for properties restored from
"previous operator settings" (property restoration code sets
IDP_FLAG_GHOST flag on them, which "is set" sees and goes
"nope, not set").
The fix here is to apply similar logic as 10 years ago in the
T32855 fix (rBdb250a4): use RNA_struct_property_is_set_ex instead.

For SVG is very convenient to be able to import several SVG in one operation. Each SVG is imported as a new Grease Pencil object.
Also, now the SVG file name is used as Object name.
Important: As all SVG imported are converted to Grease Pencil object in the same location of the 3D cursor, the SVG imported are not moved and the result may require a manual fix of location. The same is applied for depth order, the files are imported in alphabetic order according to the File list.

The Python based importer had logic to immediately turn image paths
into relative-to-blender-file paths, if user preference for relative
paths is used (which is on by default). The new importer code did not
have that. Fixes T100076.
Removes the following macros for scene/render frame values:
- `CFRA`
- `SUBFRA`
- `SFRA`
- `EFRA`
These macros don't add much, other than saving a few characters when typing.
It's not immediately clear what they refer to, they just hide what they
actually access. Just be explicit and clear about that.
Plus these macros gave read and write access to the variables, so eyesores like
this would be done (eyesore because it looks like assigning to a constant):
```
CFRA = some_frame_nbr;
```

The old Python OBJ importer had a (somewhat confusingly named) "Keep
Vertex Order -> Poly Groups" option, that imported OBJ groups as
"vertex groups" on the resulting mesh. All vertices of any face were
assigned the vertex group, with a 1.0 weight.
The new C++ importer did not have this option. It was trying to do
something with vertex groups, but failing to actually achieve
anything :) -- the vertex groups were created on the wrong object
(later on overwritten by "nomain mesh to main mesh" operation);
vertex weights were set to 1.0/vertex_count, and each vertex was only
set to be in one group, even when it belongs to multiple faces from
different groups. End result was that to the user, vertex groups were
not visible/present at all (see T98874).
This patch adds the import option (named "Vertex Groups"), which is
off by default, and fixes the import code logic to actually do the
right thing. Tested on file from T98874; vertex groups are imported
just like with the Python importer.

Adds support for vertex colors to OBJ I/O.
Importer:
- Supports both "xyzrgb" and "MRGB" vertex color formats.
- Whenever vertex color is present in the file for a model, it is
imported and a Color attribute is created (per-vertex, full float
color data type). Color coming from the file is assumed to be sRGB,
and is converted to linear upon import.
Exporter:
- Option to export the vertex colors. Defaults to "off", since not
all 3rd party software supports vertex colors.
- When the option is "on", if a mesh has a color attribute layer,
the active one is exported in "xyzrgb" form. If the mesh has
per-face-corner colors, they are averaged on the vertices.
Colors are converted from linear to sRGB upon export.

This is a partial fix for T90535.
Added Material Name Collision USD import menu option, to specify
the behavior when USD materials in different namespaces have the
same name.
The Material Name Collision menu options are
- Make Unique: Import each USD material as a unique Blender material.
- Reference Existing: If a material with the same name already
exists, reference that instead of importing.
Previously, the default behavior was to always keep the existing
material. This was causing an issue in the ALab scene, where
dozens of different USD materials all have the same name,
usdpreviewsurface1, so that only one instance of these materials
would be imported.

The export menu has many options, so enabling the feature
