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.

This Patch removes the auto sorting from Multi-Input Sockets and allows
the links to be sorted by drag and drop instead.
As a minor related change, it fixes the drawing of the mute line to
connect to the first input instead of the socket's center.
Pasting nodes can create new id relations, because nodes can reference IDs.
Therefore the depsgraph has to be updated when nodes are pasted.
We could somehow check if the pasted nodes referenced IDs, but I'm not sure
if this complexity is worth it.
This commit makes links connected to multi-input sockets spread verticaly
along the socket. Sockets grow if more links are connected and the node
layout updates accordingly. Links are sorted by their incoming angle
to avoid crossing links. Also, link picking is updated to work with
spread links and bezier links.
Currently the multi-input sockets are used in the join geometry node.
The mutli-input sockets look like a vertical rounded rectangle.
Currently they do not support the other custom socket shapes.

This commit moves runtime-only variables from the `SpaceNode`
DNA struct to a private struct in `node_intern.h`. Before, it was hard
to tell which data needed to be saved in files, this should make it
more clear.
Node that the `edittree` field is basically a runtime variable, since
it's set from the `treepath` list on read, but moving it would require
some more invasive changes that I don't think are worth it right now.
Also, not all of the moved variables were explicitly cleared on read--
`aspect` is set at the start of a redraw, `cursor` is set in a region
callback, and `recalc` was used as an update flag.

This commit replaces the two-column list for editing node group inputs
and outputs with a cleaner solution with two panels. The new layout
has several benefits:
- It uses the vertical space in the node editor sidebar better.
- It should be more familiar because of similarity with other UI lists.
- It should look better with consistent alignment and icons.
Note that displaying the "Name" property outside of the list itself is
a bit inconsistent and could possibly be removed in the future.

This is the initial merge from the geometry-nodes branch.
Nodes:
* Attribute Math
* Boolean
* Edge Split
* Float Compare
* Object Info
* Point Distribute
* Point Instance
* Random Attribute
* Random Float
* Subdivision Surface
* Transform
* Triangulate
It includes the initial evaluation of geometry node groups in the Geometry Nodes modifier.
Notes on the Generic attribute access API
The API adds an indirection for attribute access. That has the following benefits:
* Most code does not have to care about how an attribute is stored internally.
This is mainly necessary, because we have to deal with "legacy" attributes
such as vertex weights and attributes that are embedded into other structs
such as vertex positions.
* When reading from an attribute, we generally don't care what domain the
attribute is stored on. So we want to abstract away the interpolation that
that adapts attributes from one domain to another domain (this is not
actually implemented yet).
Other possible improvements for later iterations include:
* Actually implement interpolation between domains.
* Don't use inheritance for the different attribute types. A single class for read
access and one for write access might be enough, because we know all the ways
in which attributes are stored internally. We don't want more different internal
structures in the future. On the contrary, ideally we can consolidate the different
storage formats in the future to reduce the need for this indirection.
* Remove the need for heap allocations when creating attribute accessors.
It includes commits from:
* Dalai Felinto
* Hans Goudey
* Jacques Lucke
* Léo Depoix
This mainly removes the bmain argument, which can be
retrieved from the graph itself.
Also, I removed some outdated/unnecessary comments.

Was caused by weird and feedback-loop based issue from a long time ago.
The auto-render was only happening for nodes which are tagged for exec.
This tag is assigned by edit operations on the tree (for example, when
adding or removing links). It is also set in the render pipeline for
nodes which are to be executed.
The issues comes from the fact that "life updates" during editing did
not clear the need_exec flag, ever. This made it so Auto Render was
working as expected. However, rendering the scene resets need_exec
flags at the end of rendering using ntreeCompositClearTags().
The actual need of such clear is not very clear, but it was making it
so Auto Render does not work after render.
To my knowledge the flag didn't really meant that the node is connected
to the output, so it couldn't have acted as attempt to ignore rendering
of an unused scene. It also should be possible to auto-render even if
node tree itself was never altered.
Long story short: lets ignore need_exec flag in auto-render check and
render scene node if the scene is used by the node.

Due to recent changes clicks in the node editor would trigger a
depsgraph update resulting in too many redraws. This patch limits
the updates to when workbench shown in texture mode in any visible
screen.
There are still cases where too many updates are created. For example when
there are a Cycles render viewport and a Workbench texture viewport on the
same screen.
This fix is meant as a workaround. The actual fix should add a mechanism
to the depsgraph and the viewports should check if they need to be redrawn.

This implements a new builtin node tree type called `SimulationNodeTree`.
It is not yet embedded in the `Simulation` data block.
The node tree will initially be used for the new particle nodes system.
When the cmake option `WITH_NEW_SIMULATION_TYPE` is enabled, a new
`Simulation Editor` is shown in the editors menu (which is just a node editor).
This patch does not add entries to the Add Node menu, so it is empty.

Follow up of b2ee1770d4 and 10c2254d41, part of T74432.
Now the area and region naming conventions should be less confusing.
Mostly a careful batch rename but had to do few smaller fixes.
Also ran clang-format on affected files.
The old convention was easy to confuse with ScrArea.
Part of https://developer.blender.org/T74432.
This is mostly a batch rename with some manual fixing. Only single word
variable names are changed, no prefixed/suffixed names.
Brecht van Lommel and Campbell Barton both gave me a green light for
this convention change.
Also ran clan clang format on affected files.
This is only supposed to happen when copying nodes that are part of the user
editable database, not temporary copies for the dependency graph.
The LIB_ID_COPY_LOCALIZE test was wrong because it is a combination of multiple
bitflags as pointed out by Bastien, and was actually redundant anyway since
LIB_ID_CREATE_NO_MAIN is part of it.
Currently unused, but will allow to keep of an owner of the depsgraph.
Could also simplify other APIs in the future by avoiding to pass bmain
explicitly to relation update functions and things like that.
The old layout of `PointerRNA` was confusing for historic reasons:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct {
void *data;
} id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
This patch updates it to:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct ID *owner_id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
Throughout the code base `id.data` was replaced with `owner_id`.
Furthermore, many explicit pointer type casts were added which
were implicit before. Some type casts to `ID *` were removed.

This reverts commits 54fd8176d7, 4c5becb6b1 and 8f578150e.
Those kind of commits must be reviewed and approved by project owners.
That one:
* Broke Collada building by not properly updating all calls to modified
function.
* Broke *whole* ID management by not properly updating library_query.c.
And in general, I am strongly against backward ID pointers, those are
*always* a serious PITA for ID management. Sometimes they cannot be
avoided, but in general other ways to get that kind of info should be
investigated first.
NodeTree structures of materials and some other data blocks are
effectively node group data block objects that are contained inside
the parent block. Thus, direct references to them are only valid
while blender is running, and are lost on save.
Fix Copy As New Driver to create a reference that goes through
the owner data block, by adding a new runtime field to bNodeTree.
There are two aspects to the problem:
- Dependency graph update for compositor preview was missing
updates flush.
Apparently, update for new frame style of update will take
care of flushing, but not the update tagged style of update.
This goes to a legacy dependency graph and is to be changed
at some point, but not so close to the release.
- Movie clips were missing from the compositor dependency graph.
This fixes part of T66519.
