Goals of this refactor:
* More unified approach to updating everything that needs to be updated
after a change in a node tree.
* The updates should happen in the correct order and quadratic or worse
algorithms should be avoided.
* Improve detection of changes to the output to avoid tagging the depsgraph
when it's not necessary.
* Move towards a more declarative style of defining nodes by having a
more centralized update procedure.
The refactor consists of two main parts:
* Node tree tagging and update refactor.
* Generally, when changes are done to a node tree, it is tagged dirty
until a global update function is called that updates everything in
the correct order.
* The tagging is more fine-grained compared to before, to allow for more
precise depsgraph update tagging.
* Depsgraph changes.
* The shading specific depsgraph node for node trees as been removed.
* Instead, there is a new `NTREE_OUTPUT` depsgrap node, which is only
tagged when the output of the node tree changed (e.g. the Group Output
or Material Output node).
* The copy-on-write relation from node trees to the data block they are
embedded in is now non-flushing. This avoids e.g. triggering a material
update after the shader node tree changed in unrelated ways. Instead
the material has a flushing relation to the new `NTREE_OUTPUT` node now.
* The depsgraph no longer reports data block changes through to cycles
through `Depsgraph.updates` when only the node tree changed in ways
that do not affect the output.
Avoiding unnecessary updates seems to work well for geometry nodes and cycles.
The situation is a bit worse when there are drivers on the node tree, but that
could potentially be improved separately in the future.
Avoiding updates in eevee and the compositor is more tricky, but also less urgent.
* Eevee updates are triggered by calling `DRW_notify_view_update` in
`ED_render_view3d_update` indirectly from `DEG_editors_update`.
* Compositor updates are triggered by `ED_node_composite_job` in `node_area_refresh`.
This is triggered by calling `ED_area_tag_refresh` in `node_area_listener`.
Removing updates always has the risk of breaking some dependency that no
one was aware of. It's not unlikely that this will happen here as well. Adding
back missing updates should be quite a bit easier than getting rid of
unnecessary updates though.

Some doc-strings were skipped because of blank-lines between
the doc-string and the symbol and needed to be moved manually.
- Added space below non doc-string comments to make it clear
these aren't comments for the symbols directly below them.
- Use doxy sections for some headers.
Ref T92709
Reference struct members by name instead relying on their order.
This also simplifies moving back to named members when all compilers
we use support them.
Support extracting identifiers RNA paths into fixed size buffer
since the maximum size of the identifier is known all cases.
- Add BLI_str_unescape_ex to support limiting the destination buffer.
- Add BLI_str_quoted_substr to copy values into a fixed size buffer.
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.

Treat a missing <diffuse> the same as a black diffuse color.
The easiest way to see this bug is with a Collada shader like
```
<constant>
<emission>
<color sid="emission">1 0 0 1</color>
</emission>
</constant>
```
The Collada spec says this should be just
```
color = <emission>
```
ie. red everywhere. The importer slots the red into the Principled Emission socket, but since it leaves the Base Color as the default off-white, this is added to red, and the material looks white-pink in the light and red only in the shadows.
Putting black in the Base Color makes it look red everywhere.
D10939 will also eliminate the much-less-noticeable specular term for this case.

Collada shaders with black <specular> should import with Specular=0.
(A missing <specular> is the same as black.)
The general specular conversion is hard, but this case is common and easy.
Fixes the specular for all <constant>/<lambert> shaders, and <blinn>/<phong>
shaders with black/omitted <specular>. Before this they all looked too "shiny".

An emission texture is currently connected to the Base Color socket. It should connect to the Emission socket, like a constant does.

While rB6b18678e34bf did the correct updates, it did it a bit early (not
covering all possible node tree changes).
Now do the ntreeUpdateTree() at the very end of the material import
instead.
Thx @scurest investigating.

This removes a lot of unnecessary code that is generated by
the compiler automatically.
In very few cases, a defaulted destructor in a .cc file is
still necessary, because of forward declarations in the header.
I removed some defaulted virtual destructors, because they are not
necessary, when the parent class has a virtual destructor already.
Defaulted constructors are only necessary when there is another
constructor, but the class should still be default constructible.

'ntreeUpdateTree()'.

This was returning an empty allocated string, however almost
all callers checked if the return value was NULL before freeing,
making for misunderstandings on the intended use of this function.
BCAnimationSampler::initialize_curves for example detected the
f-curves animation type to 'bone' based on a non-NULL return value
which never failed.
Also fixes two leaks where the the result of BLI_str_quoted_substrN
wasn't freed.
Modernize loops by using the `for(type variable : container)` syntax.
Some loops were trivial to fix, whereas others required more attention
to avoid semantic changes. I couldn't address all old-style loops, so
this commit doesn't enable the `modernize-loop-convert` rule.
Although Clang-Tidy's auto-fixer prefers to use `auto` for the loop
variable declaration, I made as many declarations as possible explicit.
To me this increases local readability, as you don't need to fully
understand the container in order to understand the loop variable type.
No functional changes.
