This patch adds an integer identifier to nodes that doesn't change when
the node name changes. This identifier can be used by different systems
to reference a node. This may be important to store caches and simulation
states per node, because otherwise those would always be invalidated
when a node name changes.
Additionally, this kind of identifier could make some things more efficient,
because with it an integer is enough to identify a node and one does not
have to store the node name.
I observed a 10% improvement in evaluation time in a file with an extreme
number of simple math nodes, due to reduced logging overhead-- from
0.226s to 0.205s.

Adds a new `source/blender/asset_system` directory and moves asset
related files from BKE to it. More asset related code can follow
(e.g. asset indexing, ED_assetlist stuff) but needs further work to
untangle it. I also kept `BKE_asset.h` and `asset.cc` as is, since they
deal with asset DNA data mostly, thus make sense in BKE.
Motivation:
- Makes the asset system design more present (term wasn't even used in
code before).
- An `asset_system` directory is quite descriptive (trivial to identify
core asset system features) and makes it easy to find asset code.
- Asset system is mostly runtime data, with little relation to other
`Main`/BKE/DNA types.
- There's a lot of stuff in BKE already. It shouldn't be just a dump for
all stuff that seems core enough.
- Being its own directly helps us be more mindful about encapsulating
the module well, and avoiding dependencies on other modules.
- We can be more free with splitting files here than in BKE.
- In future there might be an asset system BPY module, which would then
map quite nicely to the `asset_system` directory.
Checked with some other core devs, consensus seems that this makes
sense.
Using varargs had the disadvantages, replace with a macro which has
some advantages.
- Arguments are type checked.
- Less verbose.
- Unintended NULL arguments would silently terminate joining paths.
- Passing in a NULL argument warns with GCC.
This is the conventional way of dealing with unused arguments in C++,
since it works on all compilers.

This adds support for showing geometry passed to the Viewer in the 3d
viewport (instead of just in the spreadsheet). The "viewer geometry"
bypasses the group output. So it is not necessary to change the final
output of the node group to be able to see the intermediate geometry.
**Activation and deactivation of a viewer node**
* A viewer node is activated by clicking on it.
* Ctrl+shift+click on any node/socket connects it to the viewer and
makes it active.
* Ctrl+shift+click in empty space deactivates the active viewer.
* When the active viewer is not visible anymore (e.g. another object
is selected, or the current node group is exit), it is deactivated.
* Clicking on the icon in the header of the Viewer node toggles whether
its active or not.
**Pinning**
* The spreadsheet still allows pinning the active viewer as before.
When pinned, the spreadsheet still references the viewer node even
when it becomes inactive.
* The viewport does not support pinning at the moment. It always shows
the active viewer.
**Attribute**
* When a field is linked to the second input of the viewer node it is
displayed as an overlay in the viewport.
* When possible the correct domain for the attribute is determined
automatically. This does not work in all cases. It falls back to the
face corner domain on meshes and the point domain on curves. When
necessary, the domain can be picked manually.
* The spreadsheet now only shows the "Viewer" column for the domain
that is selected in the Viewer node.
* Instance attributes are visualized as a constant color per instance.
**Viewport Options**
* The attribute overlay opacity can be controlled with the "Viewer Node"
setting in the overlays popover.
* A viewport can be configured not to show intermediate viewer-geometry
by disabling the "Viewer Node" option in the "View" menu.
**Implementation Details**
* The "spreadsheet context path" was generalized to a "viewer path" that
is used in more places now.
* The viewer node itself determines the attribute domain, evaluates the
field and stores the result in a `.viewer` attribute.
* A new "viewer attribute' overlay displays the data from the `.viewer`
attribute.
* The ground truth for the active viewer node is stored in the workspace
now. Node editors, spreadsheets and viewports retrieve the active
viewer from there unless they are pinned.
* The depsgraph object iterator has a new "viewer path" setting. When set,
the viewed geometry of the corresponding object is part of the iterator
instead of the final evaluated geometry.
* To support the instance attribute overlay `DupliObject` was extended
to contain the information necessary for drawing the overlay.
* The ctrl+shift+click operator has been refactored so that it can make
existing links to viewers active again.
* The auto-domain-detection in the Viewer node works by checking the
"preferred domain" for every field input. If there is not exactly one
preferred domain, the fallback is used.
Known limitations:
* Loose edges of meshes don't have the attribute overlay. This could be
added separately if necessary.
* Some attributes are hard to visualize as a color directly. For example,
the values might have to be normalized or some should be drawn as arrays.
For now, we encourage users to build node groups that generate appropriate
viewer-geometry. We might include some of that functionality in future versions.
Support for displaying attribute values as text in the viewport is planned as well.
* There seems to be an issue with the attribute overlay for pointclouds on
nvidia gpus, to be investigated.

When a change happens which invalidates view layers the syncing will be postponed until the first usage.
This will improve importing or adding many objects in a single operation/script.
`BKE_view_layer_need_resync_tag` is used to tag the view layer to be out of sync. Before accessing
`BKE_view_layer_active_base_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_object_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_collection`
or `BKE_view_layer_object_bases` the caller should call `BKE_view_layer_synced_ensure`.
Having two functions ensures that partial syncing could be added as smaller patches in the future. Tagging a
view layer out of sync could be replaced with a partial sync. Eventually the number of full resyncs could be
reduced. After all tagging has been replaced with partial syncs the ensure_sync could be phased out.
This patch has been added to discuss the details and consequences of the current approach. For clarity
the call to BKE_view_layer_ensure_sync is placed close to the getters.
In the future this could be placed in more strategical places to reduce the number of calls or improve
performance. Finding those strategical places isn't that clear. When multiple operations are grouped
in a single script you might want to always check for resync.
Some areas found that can be improved. This list isn't complete.
These areas aren't addressed by this patch as these changes would be hard to detect to the reviewer.
The idea is to add changes to these areas as a separate patch. It might be that the initial commit would reduce
performance compared to master, but will be fixed by the additional patches.
**Object duplication**
During object duplication the syncing is temporarily disabled. With this patch this isn't useful as when disabled
the view_layer is accessed to locate bases. This can be improved by first locating the source bases, then duplicate
and sync and locate the new bases. Will be solved in a separate patch for clarity reasons ({D15886}).
**Object add**
`BKE_object_add` not only adds a new object, but also selects and activates the new base. This requires the
view_layer to be resynced. Some callers reverse the selection and activation (See `get_new_constraint_target`).
We should make the selection and activation optional. This would make it possible to add multiple objects
without having to resync per object.
**Postpone Activate Base**
Setting the basact is done in many locations. They follow a rule as after an action find the base and set
the basact. Finding the base could require a resync. The idea is to store in the view_layer the object which
base will be set in the basact during the next sync, reducing the times resyncing needs to happen.

- ACTIVE flag is no longer in use.
- DESELECT was used in some places as an alias for false,

Replace SELECT/DESELECT with true/false in these cases.

The only difference between `GPU_SHADER_2D_LINE_DASHED_UNIFORM_COLOR`
and `GPU_SHADER_3D_LINE_DASHED_UNIFORM_COLOR` is that in the vertex
shader the 2D version uses `vec4(pos, 0.0, 1.0)` and the 3D version
uses `vec4(pos, 1.0)`.
But VBOs with 2D attributes work perfectly in shaders that use 3D
attributes. Components not specified are filled with components from
`vec4(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)`.
So there is no real benefit to having two different shader versions.

The `ascii` member was only kept for historic reason as some platforms
didn't support utf8 when it was first introduced.
Remove the `ascii` struct members since many checks used this as a
fall-back for utf8_buf not being set which isn't needed.
There are a few cases where it's convenient to access the ASCII value
of an event (or nil) so a function has been added to do that.
*Details*
- WM_event_utf8_to_ascii() has been added for the few cases an events
ASCII value needs to be accessed, this just avoids having to do
multi-byte character checks in-line.
- RNA Event.ascii remains, using utf8_buf[0] for single byte characters.
- GHOST_TEventKeyData.ascii has been removed.
- To avoid regressions non-ASCII Latin1 characters from GHOST are
converted into multi-byte UTF8, when building X11 without
XInput & X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING it seems like could still occur.
No user visible changes expected.
There's plenty of duplicated code in the grid and the tree view, and I expect
this to become more. This starts the process of unifying these parts, which
should also make it easier to add new views. Complexity in the view classes is
reduced, and some type shenanigans for C compatibility and general view
management can be removed, since there is now a common base type.
For the start this ports some of the view reconstruction, where the view and
its items are compared to the version of itself in the previous redraw, so that
state (highlighted, active, renaming, collapsed, ...) can be preserved.
Notifier listening is also ported.
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;

Adds all the basic functionality needed for grid views. They display
items in a grid of rows and columns, typically with a preview image and
a label underneath. Think of the main region in the Asset Browser.
Current features:
- Active item
- Notifier listening (also added this to the tree view)
- Performance: Skip adding buttons that are not scrolled into view
(solves performance problems for big asset libraries, for example).
- Custom item size
- Preview items (items that draw a preview with a label underneath)
- Margins between items scale so the entire region width is filled with
column, rather than leaving a big empty block at the right if there's
not enough space for another column (like the File and current Asset
Browser does it).
- "Data-View Item" theme colors. Not shown in the UI yet.
No user visible changes expected since the grid views aren't used for
anything yet.
This was developed as part of a rewrite of the Asset Browser UI
(`asset-browser-grid-view` branch), see T95653. There's no reason to
keep this part in a branch, continuing development in master makes
things easier.
Grid and tree views have a lot of very similar code, so I'm planning to
unify them to a degree. I kept things separate for the start to first
find out how much and what exactly makes sense to override.
When launching Blender with a script creating a screenshot, the Outliner
tree wasn't initialized and built properly. That is because at this
stage, all visible regions were only tagged for a non-rebuild redraw,
not a full redraw. So ensure all regions are tagged for a full redraw
immediately after file reading. Usually the full redraw would be caused
by a file-read notifier, but the Python expression/script is executed
before notifiers are handled.
Note that even before this was crashing, the Outliner would be empty in
the created screenshot.
Additionally adds an assert to the Outliner to note assumptions
explicitly, rather than crashing later.
