In the current implementation, cryptomatte passes are connected to the node
and elements are picked by using the eyedropper tool on a special pick channel.
This design has two disadvantages - both connecting all passes individually
and always having to switch to the picker channel are tedious.
With the new design, the user selects the RenderLayer or Image from which the
Cryptomatte layers are directly loaded (the type of pass is determined by an
enum). This allows the node to automatically detect all relevant passes.
Then, when using the eyedropper tool, the operator looks up the selected
coordinates from the picked Image, Node backdrop or Clip and reads the picked
object directly from the Renderlayer/Image, therefore allowing to pick in any
context (e.g. by clicking on the Combined pass in the Image Viewer). The
sampled color is looked up in the metadata and the actual name is stored
in the cryptomatte node. This also allows to remove a hash by just removing
the name from the matte id.
Technically there is some loss of flexibility because the Cryptomatte pass
inputs can no longer be connected to other nodes, but since any compositing
done on them is likely to break the Cryptomatte system anyways, this isn't
really a concern in practise.
In the future, this would also allow to automatically translate values to names
by looking up the value in the associated metadata of the input, or to get a
better visualization of overlapping areas in the Pick output since we could
blend colors now that the output doesn't have to contain the exact value.

Currently the compositor reads cryptomatte meta-data from the render
result. When loading a multilayer open exr file the meta-data was ignored.
This patch will also load the cryptomatte meta-data from multilayer open
exr files.
This enabled workflows where the rendering and compositing are done in
separate scenes or for future changes where the cryptomatte node will
use the meta-data for name matching and color picking.

This commit adds the "Save as Render" feature to the file output node,
that allows to disable the application of the configured view transform
and other color management settings on the image. If disable it uses
the standard view transform instead. This feature was originally
suggested in T83842 and is part of the color management improvements
task in T68926. With this feature it is possible to toggle the
application of the color management settings for each input socket
of the File Output node individually.

This change will try to add meta data when using a multilayered open
exr file output node in the compositor. It adds the current scene meta
data and converts existing cryptomatte keys so it follows the
naming that is configured in the file output node.
This change supports the basic use-case where the compositor is
used to output cryptomatte layers with a different naming scheme to
support external compositors. In this case the Multilayered OpenEXR
files are used and the meta data is read from the render result.
Meta data is found when render layer node is connected with the
file output node without any other nodes in between. Redirects and empty
node groups are allowed.
The patch has been verified to work with external compositors.

{D9211} introduced pre-multiplying the color for the keying node. This
pre-multiplication should also be done by other keying nodes and should be
the default operation for alpha node.
This patch will change the logic of keying nodes (Cryptomatte Node,
Channel Matte, Chroma Matte, Color Matte, Difference Matte, Distance
Matte, Luminance Matte) and breaks old files.
The Set alpha node has a mode parameter. This parameter changes
the logic to `Apply Mask` the alpha on the RGBA channels of the input color
or only replace the alpha channel (old behavior).
The replace mode is automatically set for older files. When adding
new files the the multiply mode is set.

This changes the way how the mattes are stored in the compositor node. This used to
be a single string what was decoded/encoded when needed. The new data structure
stores all entries in `CryptomatteEntry` and is converted to the old `matte_id`
property on the fly.
This is done for some future changes in the workflow where a more structured
approach leads to less confusing and easier to read code.
During revision of {D8952} one of the comments was to make a function that converts the render percentage to a factor. This to avoid code duplication. However the duplicated code was already all over the compositor code. So in order to avoid this code duplication for {D8952} I propose to first cleanup the duplicated code and build patch {D8952} based on this clean up.
The method that converts the render percentage to a factor is put in the CompositorContext. Why? The CompositorContext keeps DNA information like the renderdata. DNA, and thus the CompositorContext, keeps the size of the render resolution in percentage (user oriented). The compositor needs the size of the render resolution as a factor. So the CompositorContext seems like the obvious place to have this conversion method.
Why not in de NodeBase? The method could've been added to the nodebase, but I wanted to keep the nodebase as clean as possible and not put simple "conversion" methods into this base class. Also I didn't really like the call flow: you'd always have to get the renderdata size from the context and then convert.
Putting it in the CompositorContext avoids this extra invoke of a call.
Why not in the Converter? See nodebase. And the Converter seems more like a class for "structural" and complex node tree conversions. Not the simple conversions.

Historically the result of the keying node was violating alpha
pre-multiplication rules in Blender: it was simply overriding
the alpha channel of input.
This change makes it so keying node mixes alpha into the input,
which solves the following issues:
- The result is properly pre-multiplied, no need in separate
alpha-convert node anymore.
- Allows to more easily stack keying nodes.
This usecase was never really investigated, but since previously
alpha is always overwritten it was never possible to easily stack
nodes. Now it is at something to be tried.
Unfortunately, this breaks compatibility with existing files, where
alpha-convert node is to be manually removed.
From implementation side this is done as a dedicated operation since
there was no ready-to-use operation. Maybe in the future it might
be replaced with some sort of vector math node.

The abbreviation 'init' is brief, unambiguous and already used
in thousands of places, also initialize is often accidentally
written with British spelling.
Surrounding includes with an 'extern "C"' block is not necessary anymore.
Also that made it harder to add any C++ code to some headers, or include headers
that have "optional" C++ code like `MEM_guardedalloc.h`.
I tested compilation on linux and windows (and got help from @LazyDodo).
If this still breaks compilation due to some linker error, the header containing
the symbol in question is probably missing an 'extern "C"' block.

When creating shaders and using maths functions it is expected that Blender should match functions in other DCC applications, game engines and shading languages such as GLSL and OSL.
This patch adds missing functions to the Blender maths node.
Ideally, it would be nice to have these functions available to vectors too but that is not part of this patch.
This patch adds the following functions trunc, snap, wrap, compare, pingpong, sign, radians, degrees, cosh, sinh, tanh, exp, smoothmin and inversesqrt.
Sign function is based on GLSL and OSL functions and returns zero when x == 0.
