This implements a 5th-order equation smoothstep, which produces a flat
surface at the brush center. Some users find that our current grab brush
is too sharp, so now we have both options.
This also improves the behavior of the new clay brushes.

When introducing "drag-all-selected" support all over Blender, we
figured this wouldn't work well with the Graph Editor
selection/transform behavior.
Hence, William and I worked on the following changes, although we used
this chance to improve the behavior in general too.
For more info see T70634.
* Handles now always move with the key, regardless if they are selected
or not.
* Selecting the key doesn't select the handles anymore, their selection
is separate.
* Multiple keys and handles can now be dragged.
* Dragging a handle moves all selected handles **on the same side**.
* Tweak-dragging any handle can never affect any keyframe location,
only handles.
* G/R/S should behave as before.
* Changing the handle type with a key selected always applies the change
to both handles.
* Box selection with Ctrl+Drag now allows deselecting handles (used to
act on entire triple only).
* Box selection //Include Handles// option now only acts on visible
handles, wasn't the case with Only Selected Keyframes Handles enabled.
* Box selection //Include Handles// is now enabled by default in all
bundled keymaps.
The changes have been tested for some days by the animators here in the
Blender Animation Studio. Some changes are based on their feedback.
Also, this improves/adds comments for related code.

Diffing on undo steps is a critical performance point of override
system, although not required for override itself, it gives user
immediate feedback ove what is overridden.
Profiling showed that rna path text search over overrides operations was
by far the most costly thing here, so now using a runtime temp ghash
mapping for this search instead.
Seems to give at least 5 times speedup on big production rig.
After adding normal radius, the main use of the Scrape brush is to create flat surfaces with sharp edges. In that case, it does not make sense to have our current "Peaks" version of the brush as its inverted version.
The correct inverted version of Scrape for this use case is the Fill brush. This way you can use this tool to crease both concave and convex sharp edges and to fix the artifacts one version produces with its inverted version.
I think we should merge these two tools into one, but for now, this solution keeps compatibility with the old behavior.

This commit implements the Topology Slide/Relax brush and the Relax mesh filter.
These tools are designed to move the topology on top of the mesh without affecting the volume.
The Topology Slide/Relax brush slides the topology of the mesh in the direction of the stroke. When pressing shift, it has an alternative smooth mode similar to the Relax Brush in the sculpt branch. It should be way more stable and produce fewer artifacts.

The smooth iterations of the pose factor were hardcoded to 4. This works fine in most situations when you are posing a low poly mesh, which is the main use case of this tool. I added the smooth iterations as a brush property in case you need to pose a high poly mesh directly without producing artifacts.

This operator is similar to Mask Extract, but it deletes the masked points on the original mesh and fills the holes. This can be useful for quickly trimming or splitting an object.
This is not meant to be the main trimming tool of sculpt mode. I plan to have a set of trimming tools based on geometry booleans (trim box, lasso, line, bisect...) but in some cases doing a mask selection is more convenient.

The Multiplane Scrape brush creates sharp edges with a given fixed angle by trimming the mesh with two planes in local space at the same time. When working with stylized or hard surface models, this brush produces way better results and is more predictable than any other crease/flatten brush based on curves and alphas.
It is also the first brush we have than can produce hard surface concave creases.
The Multiplane Scrape Brush also has a dynamic mode where it samples the surface to fit the angle and scrape planes during a stroke. With this mode enabled you can sculpt multiple times over the same edge without creating artifacts.
It can also create creases that change between concave and convex during the same stroke.
The behavior of this brush will improve after merging patches like D5993 and its behavior in concave creases can still be improved, so I will keep tweaking its parameters and default values once we have all brush properties available.

Implement one more way of inheriting scale from the parent
bone, as an addition to the choices introduced in D5588.
This new mode inherits parent scale as if the parent and child
were not rotated relative to each other, always applying parent
X scale to child X scale and so forth. It is quite natural for
connected bone chains with coherent roll, like limbs or tentacles,
falling roughly between Average and Fix Shear in how closely
the parent scaling is followed.
Currently this can be achieved by using Inherit Scale: None plus
a Copy Scale with Offset from parent on the child; however, this
is cumbersome, and loses the distinction between true local and
inherited scale in the child's Local space.
This new mode also matches how the Before/After Original mix
modes work in the Copy Transforms constraint.
On the technical side this mode requires adding a right side
scale matrix multiplication into the Local<->Pose conversion,
in addition to the existing two left side matrices used for
location and orientation.

The previous Clay brush was similar to flatten. Now it has a different plane calculation and falloff, based on the position of the vertices before deforming them, so it feels more like adding clay to the model.

By squaring the pen pressure and disabling BRUSH_SPACE_ATTEN the brush
feels like it has a bigger strength range, wich makes it easier to
control when applying less pressure in order to smooth sculpted
surfaces.
Each brush should have a custom input pressure curve by default to get
an optimal behaviour and make all brushes consistent, but that is going
to take some time to get it right.

Custom profiles in bevel allows the profile curve to be controlled by
manually placed control points. Orientation is regularized along
groups of edges, and the 'pipe case' is updated. This commit includes
many updates to comments and changed variable names as well.
A 'cutoff' vertex mesh method is added to bevel in addition to the
existing grid fill option for replacing vertices.
The UI of the bevel modifier and tool are updated and unified.
Also, a 'CurveProfile' widget is added to BKE for defining the profile
in the interface, which may be useful in other situations.

Ensure that all threads on a multi-core system are used.
The issue was that BLI_task module was trying to be smart and
used heuristic to find optimal number of iterations per thread.
This heuristic assumes that tasks are light-weight, which is
not a case for subdivision surface.
On a higher subdivision level with a file from T70826 the
evaluation time goes down from 0.25 to 0.17 seconds per modifier
evaluation.

This only frees brush_rng and random_tex_array when they were actually
previously allocated.
In a unit test (see D6246) I want to be able to partially start Blender
so that I can load a blend file. To prevent memory leaks, I also want to
be able to release memory, which currently requires calling
`BKE_blender_free()`. This unconditionally calls `RE_texture_rng_exit()`
and `BKE_brush_system_exit()`, which now crash on freeing `NULL`. This
patch fixes that.
Allocation (`BKE_brush_system_init()`) and freeing
(`BKE_brush_system_exit()`) are done asymmetrically. The allocation
functions are called from `main()` in the creator module, but the
freeing is done by `BKE_blender_free()` the Window Manager. Ideally we
symmetrise this and initialise Blender from outside the window manager
(so that the initialisation can be done without WM and Python too), but
for now I'm happy when things don't crash.

The root of the issue goes to the discontinuity between the way how
mesh_calc_modifiers() and BKE_sculpt_multires_active() works.
At some point detection of original data usage by a modifier got
broken: the mesh_final based check is unreliable because deform-only
modifiers will create mesh_final for the connectivity information.
This made it so modifier stack evaluation would skip multires
evaluation, but the sculpt code will assume the multires is properly
applied.
This change makes it an explicit check about whether there are any
non-deform-only modifiers applied.
Pair programming and review together with Bastien, thanks!
There was a discontinuity between how deform-only modifiers are applied
for the case when result deform mesh is requested and when it is not.
Namely, the input mesh will always be guaranteed to present in the
former case, but not in the latter.
This change makes it so input mesh to deform-only modifiers is always
at consistent state.

As correctly pointed out by a comment in the code, adding
new springs wasn't thread safe, and caused crashes.
Fix by buffering new springs in intermediate thread-local
arrays, which are flushed on the main thread. This is valid
because the new springs are not used until the next sim step.

Most of the time Stretch To is used in actual rigs, like BlenRig
or Rigify, in combination with Damped Track to handle rotation
before the stretch, because it produces rotations more appropriate
for organic deformation, and doesn't flip because of internal
gimbal lock.
The prevalence of this pattern suggests that Stretch To should
support that kind of rotation directly as an option.
