The region used to be type "Channels", but the standard for this
type is "Tools", which is what the file browser uses. This follows
the changes in rB01df48a98394, which also make the region more
"standard."
Previously we used a `CellValue` class to hold the data for a cell,
and called a function to fill it whenever necessary. This is an
unnecessary complication when we have virtual generic arrays
and most data is already easily accessible that way anyway.
This patch removes `CellValue` and uses `fn::GVArray` to provide
access to data instead.
In the future, if rows have different types within a single column,
we can use a `GVArray` of `blender::Any` to interface with the drawing.
Along with that, the use of virtual arrays made it easy to do a
few other cleanups:
- Use selection domain interpolations from rB5841f8656d95
for the mesh selection filter.
- Change the row filter to only calculate for necessary indices.

This patch removes a bunch of specific code for drawing the spreadsheet
data set region, which was an overly specific solution for a generic UI.
Nowadays, the UI tree view API used for asset browser catalogs is a much
better way to implement this behavior.
To make this possible, the tree view API is extended in a few ways.
Collapsibility can now be turned off, and whether an item should
be active is moved to a separate virtual function.
The only visual change is that the items are now drawn in a box,
just like the asset catalog.

The viewer node has been expanded to have a field input next to the
geometry input. When both are connected (by ctrl+shift clicking on a node)
the spreadsheet will show the evaluated field on the geometry.
The operator to link to the viewer has become a bit smarter. It automatically
detects if it should link to the geometry or field input. In the future some more
smartness could be added, such as automatically relinking the "right" geometry
when viewing a field.
Internally, there are two major changes:
* Refactor of what happens when ctrl+shift clicking on a node to link to
a viewer. The behavior of the geometry nodes viewer is a bit more complex
than that of the compositor viewers. The behavior in compositing nodes
should not have changed. Any change should be reported as a bug (and then
we can decide if it's worse than before or if it needs fixing).
* Evaluation, display and caching of fields in the spreadsheet editor.

Previously, a debug name had to be passed to all methods
that added a resource to the `ResourceScope`. The idea was
that this would make it easier to find certain bugs. In reality
I never found this to be useful, and it was mostly annoying.
The thing is, something that is in a resource scope never leaks
(unless the resource scope is not destructed of course).
Removing the name parameter makes the structure easier to use.
With this commit, curve objects support the geometry nodes modifier.
Curves objects now evaluate to `CurveEval` unless there was a previous
implicit conversion (tessellating modifiers, mesh modifiers, or the
settings in the curve "Geometry" panel). In the new code, curves are
only considered to be the wire edges-- any generated surface is a mesh
instead, stored in the evaluated geometry set.
The consolidation of concepts mentioned above allows remove a lot of
code that had to do with maintaining the `DispList` type temporarily
for modifiers and rendering. Instead, render engines see a separate
object for the mesh from the mesh geometry component, and when the
curve object evaluates to a curve, the `CurveEval` is always used for
drawing wire edges.
However, currently the `DispList` type is still maintained and used as
an intermediate step in implicit mesh conversion. In the future, more
uses of it could be changed to use `CurveEval` and `Mesh` instead.
This is mostly not changed behavior, it is just a formalization of
existing logic after recent fixes for 2.8 versions last year and two
years ago. Also, in the future more functionality can be converted
to nodes, removing cases of implicit conversions. For more discussion
on that topic, see T89676.
The `use_fill_deform` option is removed. It has not worked properly
since 2.62, and the choice for filling a curve before or after
deformation will work much better and be clearer with a node system.
Applying the geometry nodes modifier to generate a curve is not
implemented with this commit, so applying the modifier won't work
at all. This is a separate technical challenge, and should be solved
in a separate step.

This adds a viewer node similar to the one in the compositor.
The icon in the headers of nodes is removed because it served
the same purpose and is not necessary anymore.
Node outputs can be connected to the active viewer using
ctrl+shift+LMB, just like in the compositor. Right now this collides
with the shortcut used in the node wrangler addon, which will
be changed separately.
As of now, the viewed geometry is only visible in the spreadsheet.
Viewport visualization will be added separately.
There are a couple of benefits of using a viewer node compared
to the old approach with the icon in the node header:
* Better support for nodes that have more than one geometry output.
* It's more consistent with the compositor.
* If attributes become decoupled from geometry in the future,
the viewer can have a separate input for the attribute to visualize.
* The viewer node could potentially have visualization settings.
* Allows to keep "visualization points" around by having multiple
viewer nodes.
* Less visual clutter in node headers.

This patch adds a left aligned sidebar to the spreadsheet editor. This
Sidebar can be used to navigate the geometry component types and
attribute domains. It also provides a quick overview of domain sizes.
It replaces the two dropdowns in the regions header.
Next step will be to add the domain cycling shortcut
using the CTRL + mouse wheel.

This patch adds support for filtering rows based on rules and values.
Filters will work for any attribute data source, they are a property
of the spreadsheet rather than of the attribute system. The properties
displayed in the row filter can depend on data type of the currently
visible column with that name. If the name is no longer visible, the
row filter filter is grayed out, but it will remember the value until
a column with its name is visible again.
Note: The comments in `screen.c` combined with tagging the sidebar
for redraw after the main region point to a lack of understanding
or technical debt, that is a point to improve in the future.
**Future Improvements**
* T89272: A search menu for visible columns when adding a new filter.
* T89273: Possibly a "Range" operation.

This introduces a context path to the spreadsheet editor, which contains
information about what data is shown in the spreadsheet. The context
path (breadcrumbs) can reference a specific node in a node group
hierarchy. During object evaluation, the geometry nodes modifier checks
what data is currently requested by visible spreadsheets and stores
the corresponding geometry sets separately for later access.
The context path can be updated by the user explicitely, by clicking
on the new icon in the header of nodes. Under some circumstances,
the context path is updated automatically based on Blender's context.
This patch also consolidates the "Node" and "Final" object evaluation
mode to just "Evaluated". Based on the current context path, either
the final geometry set of an object will be displayed, or the data at
a specific node.
The new preview icon in geometry nodes now behaves more like
a toggle. It can be clicked again to clear the context path in an
open spreadsheet editor.
Previously, only an object could be pinned in the spreadsheet editor.
Now it is possible to pin the entire context path. That allows two
different spreadsheets to display geometry data from two different
nodes.
The breadcrumbs in the spreadsheet header can be collapsed by
clicking on the arrow icons. It's not ideal but works well for now.
This might be changed again, if we get a data set region on the left.

A `DataSource` provides columns for the spreadsheet to display.
Every column has a SpreadsheetColumnID as identifier. Columns
are not generated eagerly anymore, instead the main spreadsheet
code can request a column from a data source with an column
identifier. The column identifiers can be stored in DNA and allow us
to store persistent data per column.
On the user level the only thing that changes is that columns are
not shown in alphabetical order anymore. Instead, new columns
are always added on the left. The behavior can be changed,
however I'd prefer not to automate this too much currently. I think
we should just add operators to hide/reorder/resize columns soonish.

This is a refactor and no functional changes are expected.
The goal is to make it simpler to add other data sources without having
to repeat the drawing code everywhere. Also, having the `CellValue` class
allows us to implement filtering and sorting in a more generic way.
This implements the status bar as footer region in the
spreadsheet editor.
It shows the total number of rows and columns as well
as how many rows are actually visible (based on the filter).
The implementation stores the stats in a runtime struct during
drawing and the status bar reads from that struct.

This implements the MVP for the new spreadsheet editor (T85879). The functionality
is still very limited, but it proved to be useful already. A more complete picture
of where we want to go with the new editor can be found in T86279.
Supported features:
* Show point attributes of evaluated meshes (no original data, no other domains,
no other geometry types, yet). Since only meshes are supported right now, the
output of the Point Distribute is not shown, because it is a point cloud.
* Only show data for selected vertices when the mesh is in edit mode.
Different parts of Blender keep track of selection state and original-indices with
varying degrees of success. Therefore, when the selected-only filter is used, the
result might be a bit confusing when using some modifiers or nodes. This will
be improved in the future.
* All data is readonly. Since only evaluated data is displayed currently, it has to
be readonly. However, this is not an inherent limitation of the spreadsheet editor.
In the future editable data will be displayed as well.
Some boilerplate code for the new editor has been committed before in
rB9cb5f0a2282a7a84f7f8636b43a32bdc04b51cd5.
It would be good to let the spreadsheet editor mature for a couple of weeks as part
of the geometry nodes project. Then other modules are invited to show their own data
in the new editor!
