Remove the redundant option to disable selection in order to simplify
the tools and UI, both conceptually and internally.
It was possible to disable curves selection completely by clicking on
the active selection domain. However, that was redundant compared to
just selecting everything by pressing "A". The remaining potential use
could have been saving a selection for later, but that can be done with
more complete attribute editing tools in the future.
This node allows for curves to have their evaluated normal mode changed
between MINIMUM_TWIST and Z_UP. A selection input allows for choosing
which spline in the curves object will be affected.

A "lookup_int" callback needs to be provided for RNA collections
that aren't backed by DNA directly. Otherwise they will iterate from
the start of the array for every access.
These mutable pointers present problems with ownership in relation to
proper copy-on-write for attributes. The simplest solution is to just
remove them and retrieve the layers from `CustomData` when they are
needed. This also removes the complexity and redundancy of having to
update the pointers as the curves change. A similar change will apply
to meshes and point clouds.
One downside of this change is that it makes random access with RNA
slower. However, it's simple to just use the RNA attribute API instead,
which is unaffected. In this patch I updated Cycles to do that. With
the future attribute CoW changes, this generic approach makes sense
because Cycles can just request ownership of the existing arrays.

This commit ports the "Set Spline Type" node to the new curves type.
Performance should be improved in similar ways to the other refactors
from the conversion task (T95443). Converting to and from Catmull Rom
curves is now supported. There are a few cases where a lot of work can
be skipped: when the number of points doesn't change, and when the
types already match the goal type.
The refactor has a few other explicit goals as well:
- Don't count on initialization of attribute arrays when they are
first allocated.
- Avoid copying the entire data-block when possible.
- Make decisions about which attributes to copy when changing curves
more obvious.
- Use higher-level methods to copy data between curve points.
- Optimize for the common cases of single types and full selections.
- Process selected curves of the same types in the same loop.
The Bezier to NURBS conversion is written by Piotr Makal (@pmakal).

In the latest discussions about curves/hair mesh attachement
information (T95776), it was decided to use UV coordinates to
store where on the mesh each root is. For that, we have to specify
which of the UV map attributes to use for UV lookups.
This property isn't used yet, but it will be shortly when refactoring
the attachement information in the add brush and the to particle
system conversion.

This commit adds a float selection to curve control points or curves,
a sculpt tool to paint the selection, and uses the selection influence
in the existing sculpt brushes.
The selection is the inverse of the "mask" from mesh sculpt mode
currently. That change is described in more detail here: T97903
Since some sculpt tools are really "per curve" tools, they use the
average point selection of all of their points. The delete brush
considers a curve selected if any of its points have a non-zero
selection.
There is a new option to choose the selection domain, which affects how
painting the selection works. You can also turn the selection off by
clicking on the active domain.
Sculpt brushes can be faster when the selection is small, because
finding selected curves or points is generally faster than the
existing brush intersection and distance checks.
The main limitation currently is that we can't see the selection in the
viewport by default. For now, to see the selection one has to add a
simple material to the curves object as shown in the differential
revision. And one has to switch to Material Preview in the 3d view.

This commit makes PointerRNA passed to RNA path API const.
Main change was in the `path` callback for RNA structs, and indirectly
the `getlength` callback of properties.
This adds support for X/Y/Z symmetry for all brushes in curves
sculpt mode. In theory this can be extended to support radial
symmetry, but that's not part of this patch.
It works by essentially applying a brush stroke multiple with
different transforms. This is similiar to how symmetry works in
mesh sculpt mode, but is quite different from how it worked in
the old hair system (there it tried to find matching hair strands
on both sides of the surface; if none was found, symmetry did
not work).

The general idea here is to wrap the `CurvesGeometry` DNA struct
with a C++ class that can do most of the heavy lifting for the curve
geometry. Using a C++ class allows easier ways to group methods, easier
const correctness, and code that's more readable and faster to write.
This way, it works much more like a version of `CurveEval` that uses
more efficient attribute storage.
This commit adds the structure of some yet-to-be-implemented code,
the largest thing being mutexes and vectors meant to hold lazily
calculated evaluated positions, tangents, and normals. That part might
change slightly, but it's helpful to be able to see the direction this
commit is aiming in. In particular, the inherently single-threaded
accumulated lengths and Bezier evaluated point offsets might be cached.

Based on discussions from T95355 and T94193, the plan is to use
the name "Curves" to describe the data-block container for multiple
curves. Eventually this will replace the existing "Curve" data-block.
However, it will be a while before the curve data-block can be replaced
so in order to distinguish the two curve types in the UI, "Hair Curves"
will be used, but eventually changed back to "Curves".
This patch renames "hair-related" files, functions, types, and variable
names to this convention. A deep rename is preferred to keep code
consistent and to avoid any "hair" terminology from leaking, since the
new data-block is meant for all curve types, not just hair use cases.
The downside of this naming is that the difference between "Curve"
and "Curves" has become important. That was considered during
design discussons and deemed acceptable, especially given the
non-permanent nature of the somewhat common conflict.
Some points of interest:
- All DNA compatibility is lost, just like rBf59767ff9729.
- I renamed `ID_HA` to `ID_CV` so there is no complete mismatch.
- `hair_curves` is used where necessary to distinguish from the
existing "curves" plural.
- I didn't rename any of the cycles/rendering code function names,
since that is also used by the old hair particle system.
