This is part of a greater blenloader decentralization effort (T76372).
For modifiers the goal is that fewer files have to be modified when
a new modifier is added.
This patch just adds the `blendWrite` and `blendRead` callbacks to
`ModifierTypeInfo` but does not change any other code yet. In the next
steps, modifier specific code will be moved from `writefile.c` and
`readfile.c` into their corresponding `MOD_*` files.
This also renames `MutableArrayRef` to `MutableSpan`.
The name "Span" works better, because `std::span` will provide
similar functionality in C++20. Furthermore, a shorter, more
concise name for a common data structure is nice.
This patch implements the list panel system D7490 for modifiers.
It also moves modifier drawing to a callback in ModifierTypeInfo
in line with the extensible architecture refactoring goal T75724.
This adds a PanelRegister callback and utilities for registering
panels and subpanels. It also adds the callbacks for expansion saving
and drag and drop reordering described in D7490.
These utilities, callbacks, and other common UI elements shared
between modifiers live in MOD_ui_common.c.
Because modifier buttons are now in panels, we can make use of
subpanels for organization. The UI layouts also use the single
column layout style consistently used elsewhere in Blender.
Additionally, the mode-setting buttons are aligned and ordered
consistently with the outliner.
However, the large number of UI changes in this patch may mean
that additional polishing is required in master.
Thanks to William Reynish (@billreynish) who did a fair amount of the
layout work and to Julian Eisel (@Severin) for consistent help.

When using the mask modifier loose edges could be added to the mesh.
These edges weren't marked as loose edges and wasn't picked up by other
areas of blender.
This fix recalculates the loose edges so they have the correct flag
`ME_LOOSE_EDGE`.

There is no user visible difference in standard builds, as there are no
volume modifiers yet. When using WITH_NEW_OBJECT_TYPES some deform only
modifiers are now available for hair and pointcloud objects.

- Use 'BKE_object_defgroup' prefix for object functions.
- Rename 'defvert_verify_index' to 'defvert_ensure_index'
since this adds the group if it isn't found.
The functionality of the mask modifier remains unchanged.
This patch updates the mask modifier so that it uses C++.
The manual memory management has been replaced with proper containers.
The large `applyModifier` function has been splitup into multiple smaller functions.
A large speedup is achieved by using simple arrays instead of hash tables in multiple places.
In my performance test file the playback speed increased from 1.1 to 5.1 fps on my laptop.
