Introduce `BKE_fcurve_deduplicate_keys()` to merge keys that are on the
same time, or within the time comparison threshold (1/100th of a frame).
When merging two consecutive keys, the last one 'wins' and determines
the final key *value*. The first key's *time* is retained, to ensure the
reference point for the next comparisons is stable. The only exception
here is when there is a key exactly on an integer frame number, in which
case that one is preferred.
The function is exposed in RNA as `fcurve.keyframe_points.deduplicate()`
This commit also introduces a new function `BKE_fcurve_bezt_shrink(fcu,
new_totvert);` that can reallocate the `bezt` array to ensure removed
keys no longer take up memory.
The RNA function `fcurve.update()` currently performs two steps, which
are now exposed to RNA as well, as `keyframe_points.sort()` and
`keyframe_points.handles_recalc()`. This is so that Python code can
sort, deduplicate, and then recalculate the handles only once (calling
`update` + `deduplicate` would do the latter twice).
In Blender 4.0 the deduplication will also be part of `fcurve.update()`,
see #107126.

Links created through the normal Python API are invalid since
7026096099. Before then, one could create links to or from virtual
sockets from Python (grayed out sockets in Group Input and Group
Output nodes), as is still possible in the GUI.
This is documented as an API change, and it broke at least Node
Wrangler, see blender/blender-addons#104470. Instead of just fixing
that, let's introduce an API to make this operation simpler.
Pull Request: blender/blender#105975
This commit implements described in the #104573.
The goal is to fix the confusion of the submodule hashes change, which are not
ideal for any of the supported git-module configuration (they are either always
visible causing confusion, or silently staged and committed, also causing
confusion).
This commit replaces submodules with a checkout of addons and addons_contrib,
covered by the .gitignore, and locale and developer tools are moved to the
main repository.
This also changes the paths:
- /release/scripts are moved to the /scripts
- /source/tools are moved to the /tools
- /release/datafiles/locale is moved to /locale
This is done to avoid conflicts when using bisect, and also allow buildbot to
automatically "recover" wgen building older or newer branches/patches.
Running `make update` will initialize the local checkout to the changed
repository configuration.
Another aspect of the change is that the make update will support Github style
of remote organization (origin remote pointing to thy fork, upstream remote
pointing to the upstream blender/blender.git).
