Introduced a way to specify cloth pressure force influence with a vertex
group. This will allow users to only have pressure affect certain parts
of the mesh.
In addition to this, the "shrink factor" is now also unlocked to allow
negative values and thus allowing the cloth mesh to grow as well.

This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
There was no documentation at all, some very bad practices (like using
G.debug_value > 0 as some sort of global debug print switch), and even
an overlapping use of '1' value...
Also, python setter did not check for valid range (since this is a
short, not an int).
The issue was caused by NaN valid of the average spring length being
stored in the file. This caused accumulation in the springs builder
to also deliver NaNs, which then caused solver itself to not do
anything.
Not sure why these values where never initialized prior to the
accumulation. Or even, why this runime data is stored in a DNA.
Some sanitizing is possible here, but needs to be done with care
to not disrupt Spring production.
This commit includes several performance, stability, and reliability
improvements to cloth collisions.
Most notably:
* The implementation of a new self-collisions system.
* Multithreading of collision detection.
* Implementation of single sided collisions and normal overrides.
* Replacement of the `plNearestPoints` function from Bullet with a
dedicated solution.
Further, this also includes several bug fixes, and algorithmic
improvements.

This implements angular bending springs for cloth simulation. This also
adds shearing springs for n-gons.
This angular spring implementation does not include Jacobian matrices,
as the springs can exist between polygons of different vertex counts,
rendering their relationships asymmetrical, and thus impossible to solve
with the current implementation. This means that the bending component
is solved explicitly. However, this is usually not a big problem, as
bending springs contribute less to instability than structural springs.
The the old linear bending model can still be used, and is the default for
existing files, to keep compatibility. However, the new angular bending
model is the default for any new simulation.
This commit makes small breaking changes, in that shearing springs are
now created on n-gons (also in linear bending mode), while n-gons were
previously ignored.

This separates cloth stiffness and damping forces into tension,
compression, and shearing components, allowing more control over the
cloth behaviour.
This also adds a bending model selector (although the new bending model
itself is not implemented in this commit). This is because some of the
features implemented here only make sense within the new bending model,
while the old model is kept for compatibility.
This commit makes non-breaking changes, and thus maintains full
compatibility with existing simulations.

To find all effectors in the scene, we need to loop over all objects.
Doing this during depsgraph evaluation caused crashes because not all
objects are guaranteed to be evaluated yet.
To fix this, we now cache the relations as part of the dependency graph
build. As a bonus this also makes evaluation faster for big scenes,
since looping over all objects for each particle system is slow.
Fixes T55156.
The modifier is still quite slow; this could be due to caches being written
to a CoW datablock instead of the original one. More investigation is
needed.
The depsgraph was always created within a fixed evaluation context. Passing
both risks the depsgraph and evaluation context not matching, and it
complicates the Python API where we'd have to expose both which is not so
easy to understand.
This also removes the global evaluation context in main, which assumed there
to be a single active scene and view layer.
