We store various lazily calculated caches on meshes, some of which
depend on the vertex positions staying the same. The current API to
invalidate these caches is a bit confusing. With an explicit set of
functions modeled after the functions in `BKE_node_tree_update.h`,
it becomes clear which function to call. This may become more
important if more lazy caches are added in the future.

This patch adds a 'Intersecting Edges' output with a boolean selection
that only gives you the new edges on intersections.
Will work on a couple of examples next, this should make some
interesting effects possible (including getting us closer to the "bevel-
after-boolean-usecase")
To achieve this, a Vector is passed to `direct_mesh_boolean` when the
iMesh is still available (and intersecting edges appended), then from
those edge indices a selection will be stored as attribute.

Code handling repetitive boolean operations when using several objects
from a Collection would not handle result mesh properly, re-creating for
each object without properly freeing it.
Further more, existing code was effectively converting the BMesh to mesh
twice, including a modification of the initial (input) mesh, which
modifiers should never do!
Removed the extra useless conversion, which also gives a small
improvement in performances:
With as simple of a scene as four objects (three operands in a
collection, and the modified one) totalling 20k vertices/faces, this
commit:
* Avoids 2MB memory leak per evaluation (!).
* Speeds up boolean evaluation by 5-10%.
Found while investigating some production files of the Project Heist
here at the Blender Studio.
This is mostly a cleanup to avoid hardcoding the eager calculation of
normals it isn't necessary, by reducing calls to `BKE_mesh_calc_normals`
and by removing calls to `BKE_mesh_normals_tag_dirty` when the mesh
is newly created and already has dirty normals anyway. This reduces
boilerplate code and makes the "dirty by default" state more clear.
Any regressions from this commit should be easy to fix, though the
lazy calculation is solid enough that none are expected.
Currently there is a "calc_face_normal" argument to mesh to bmesh
conversion, but vertex normals had always implicitly inherited whatever
dirty state the mesh input's vertex normals were in. Probably they were
most often assumed to not be dirty, but this was never really correct in
the general case.
Ever since the refactor to move vertex normals out of mesh vertices,
cfa53e0fbe, the copying logic has been explicit: copy the
normals when they are not dirty. But it turns out that more control is
needed, and sometimes normals should be calculated for the resulting
BMesh.
This commit adds an option to the conversion to calculate vertex
normals, true by default. In almost all places except the decimate
and edge split modifiers, I just copied the value of the
"calc_face_normals" argument.

So far it was needed to declare a new RNA struct to `RNA_access.h` manually.
Since 9b298cf3db we generate a `RNA_prototypes.h` for RNA property
declarations. Now this also includes the RNA struct declarations, so they don't
have to be added manually anymore.

This is similar to e032ca2e25 which removed the
callback for volumes. Now that we have geometry sets, there is
no need to define a callback for every data type, and this wasn't
used. Procedural curves/hair editing will use nodes rather than new
modifier types anyway.
Code that handled merging & initializing custom-data from other
meshes sometimes missed checks for this flag, causing bevel weights to
lost when the mesh was converted to a BMesh.
The following changes are a more general fix for T94197.
- Add BM_mesh_copy_init_customdata_from_mesh_array which initializes
custom-data from multiple meshes at once.
As well as initializing custom-data layers from Mesh.cd_flag.
This isn't essential for boolean, however it avoids the overhead of
resizing custom-data layers.
- Loading mesh data into a BMesh now respects Mesh.cd_flag
instead of only checking if the BMesh custom-data-layer exists.
Without this, the order of meshes passed to BM_mesh_bm_from_me could
give different (incorrect) results.
- Copying mesh data now copies `cd_flag` too. This is a precaution
as in my tests evaluating modifiers these values always matched.
Nevertheless it's correct to copy this value as custom-data it's
self is being copied.
For boolean operations only one of the meshes was checked to determine
if bevel weights should be created.
Now initialize custom data from both meshes flag.
Note that this is a localized fix to be back-ported, further changes
will be made so edit-mode conversion accounts for this
without the caller needing explicit checks for custom-data flags.
Reference struct members by name instead relying on their order.
This also simplifies moving back to named members when all compilers
we use support them.
The 'collection' property is flagged PROP_ID_REFCOUNT, so the
modifiers foreachIDLink functions should walk with IDWALK_CB_USER
(instead of IDWALK_CB_NOP).
Otherwise the modifier wont be included as a user for the collection
(e.g. on file read); removing the collection from the modifier will
decrement usercount though (which in worst case scenario makes the
collection orphan and will result in data loss)

2 sided faces aren't supported and will cause problems in many areas
of Blender's code.
Removing (implied) support for faces with fewer than 3 sides
means the total number of triangles is known ahead of time.
This simplifies adding support for multi-threading and partial updates
to an existing tessellation - as the face and loop indices can be used
to access the range of triangles associated with a face.
Also correct outdated comments.
This allows us to remove a callback from the modifier type info struct.
In the future the these modifiers might just be replaced by nodes
internally anyway, but in the meantime it's nice to unify the handling
of evaluated geometry a bit.

This fixes T87666 and T83252.
The boolean modifier and geometry nodes can depend on the geometry
of an entire collection. Before, the modifiers had to manually create relations
to all the objects in the collection. This worked for the most part, but was
cumbersome and did not solve all issues. For example, the modifiers were not
properly updated when objects were added/removed from the referenced collection.
This commit introduces the concept of "collection geometry" in the depsgraph.
The geometry of a collection depends on the transforms and geometry of all
the objects in it. The boolean modifier and geometry nodes can now just depend
on the collection geometry instead of creating all the dependencies themselves.

The main goal here is to remove the need for a C API to the code in
`mesh_boolean_convert.cc`. This is achieved by moving `MOD_boolean.c`
to C++ and making the necessary changes for it to compile. On top of
that there are some other slight simplifications possible to the
direct mesh boolean code: it doesn't need to copy the material
remaps, and the modifier code can use some other C++ types directly.
