Callbacks used in `bpy.props` didn't hold a references to the functions
they used.
While this has been the case since early 2.5x it didn't cause any
problems as long as the class held a reference.
With Python 3.10 or when using `from __future__ import annotations`,
the annotations are no longer owned by the class once evaluated.
Resolve this by holding a reference in the module, which now supports
traverse & clear callbacks so the objects are visible to Python's
garbage collector.
Also refactor storage of Python data, moving from an array into a struct.
Cycles has a lot of code like this:
```lang=c++
BL::Object::modifiers_iterator b_mod;
for (b_ob->modifiers.begin(b_mod); b_mod != b_ob->modifiers.end(); ++b_mod) {
```
Range-based for loops allow us to simplify this to:
```lang=c++
for (BL::Modifier &b_mod : b_ob->modifiers) {
```
In order to support this, a collection (such as `b_ob->modifiers`) must have
a `begin()` and `end()` method, that take no parameters and return an iterator.
The `end` method already exists, but the `begin` method takes the iterator as
argument currently.
This patch adds a new `begin` method that returns the iterator. The old `begin`
method is still available to avoid breaking existing code.
My assumption is that the old `begin` method took the iterator as parameter so
that the iterator is not copied or moved, i.e. its memory address is stable and
the destructor is only called once. I'm not sure if both of these requirements
are really necessary to ensure that the iterators work correctly. To be on the
safe side, I deleted the copy/move constructors/assignment operators.
Since C++17 there is "guaranteed copy elision" which basically allows us to
return a non-copyable and non-movable type from a function. To make that work,
I had to add a new constructor to `CollectionIterator` that calls `begin` on itself.

While it's never NULL at the moment, checks elsewhere in this function
support passing in a NULL filename, so keep this working as intended
in case RNAProcessItem.filename is NULL in the future.
Asset metadata is what turns a regular data-block into an asset. It is a small
data-structure, but a key part of the technical design of the asset system.
The design foresees that asset data-blocks store an `ID.asset_data` pointer of
type `AssetMetaData`. This data **must not** have dependencies on other
data-blocks or data-block data, it must be an independent unit. That way we can
read asset-metadata from .blends without reading anything else from the file.
The Asset Browser will use this metadata (together with the data-block name,
preview and file path) to represent assets in the file list.
Includes:
* New `ID.asset_data` for asset metadata.
* Asset tags, description and custom properties.
* BKE code to manage asset meta-data and asset tags.
* Code to read asset data from files, without reading IDs.
* RNA for asset metadata (including tags)
Part of the first Asset Browser milestone. Check the #asset_browser_milestone_1

The geometry-nodes features no longer depend on the point cloud object.
Therefore the point cloud object, although important in the future, can
be postponed until we have render and edit mode fully working.
This reverts commits:
* ea74ed5a7a.
* dc614c68ef.
Those two features are not directly related and one might be activated
in master earlier than the other.
WITH_PARTICLE_NODES was removed, because we continue the project
under the name "Geometry Nodes".
This puts all generic float/int/vector/color/string geometry attributes in a new
.attributes property. For meshes it provides a more general API for existing
attributes, for point clouds attributes will be used as an essential part of
particle nodes.
This patch was implemented by @lichtwerk, with further changes by me. It's
still a work in progress, but posting here to show what is going on and for
early feedback.

Based on the original patch by Vaishnav S (@padthai), this adds
support for temperature units. Initially supported units are Celsius,
Kelvin, and Fahrenheit.
The units aren't used anywhere with this commit. Those changes should
happen in separate patches by adding PROP_TEMPERATURE to RNA property
definitions. But it should be ensured that the various solvers and
simulations actually properly use real units.
The complexity of some of the changes comes from the fact that these
units have offsets from each other as well as coefficients. This also
makes the implementation in the current unit system troublesome.
For example, entering 0C evaluates correctly to 273K, but 0C + 0C
doubles that result, because each unit value is evaluated separately.
This is quite hard to solve in the general case with Blender's current
unit system, though, so it is not handled in this commit.

Since makesrna runs after all properties have been defined, we have to
remember with a new internal flag when we explicitely disable the
'PROP_PTR_NO_OWNERSHIP' flag for a property.
Otherwise there was no way to do so for ID pointer properties...
This replaces the cmake options `WITH_NEW_OBJECT_TYPES` and
`WITH_NEW_SIMULATION_TYPE` with two experimental userpref settings:
* `use_new_particle_system`: Enables the point cloud type and the simulation editor.
* `use_new_hair_type`: Only displays the add-operator in the add menu for now.
Note, in the current state you can't do anything productive with the new particle

This data block will be the container for simulation node trees.
It will be used for the new particle node system (T73324).
The new data block has the type `ID_SIM`.
It is not visible to users and other developers by default yet.
To enable it, activate the cmake option `WITH_NEW_SIMULATION_TYPE`.
New simulation data blocks can be created by running `bpy.data.simulations.new("name")`.

NOTE: While most of the milestone 1 goals are there, a few smaller features and
improvements are still to be done.
Big picture of this milestone: Initial, OpenXR-based virtual reality support
for users and foundation for advanced use cases.
Maniphest Task: https://developer.blender.org/T71347
The tasks contains more information about this milestone.
To be clear: This is not a feature rich VR implementation, it's focused on the
initial scene inspection use case. We intentionally focused on that, further
features like controller support are part of the next milestone.
- How to use?
Instructions on how to use this are here:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Severin/GSoC-2019/How_to_Test
These will be updated and moved to a more official place (likely the manual) soon.
Currently Windows Mixed Reality and Oculus devices are usable. Valve/HTC
headsets don't support the OpenXR standard yet and hence, do not work with this
implementation.
---------------
This is the C-side implementation of the features added for initial VR
support as per milestone 1. A "VR Scene Inspection" Add-on will be
committed separately, to expose the VR functionality in the UI. It also
adds some further features for milestone 1, namely a landmarking system
(stored view locations in the VR space)
Main additions/features:
* Support for rendering viewports to an HMD, with good performance.
* Option to sync the VR view perspective with a fully interactive,
regular 3D View (VR-Mirror).
* Option to disable positional tracking. Keeps the current position (calculated
based on the VR eye center pose) when enabled while a VR session is running.
* Some regular viewport settings for the VR view
* RNA/Python-API to query and set VR session state information.
* WM-XR: Layer tying Ghost-XR to the Blender specific APIs/data
* wmSurface API: drawable, non-window container (manages Ghost-OpenGL and GPU
context)
* DNA/RNA for management of VR session settings
* `--debug-xr` and `--debug-xr-time` commandline options
* Utility batch & config file for using the Oculus runtime on Windows.
* Most VR data is runtime only. The exception is user settings which are saved
to files (`XrSessionSettings`).
* VR support can be disabled through the `WITH_XR_OPENXR` compiler flag.

While it might be handy to have type-less functionality which is
similar to how C++ math is implemented it can not be easily achieved
with just preprocessor in a way which does not have side-effects on
wrong usage.
There macros where often used on a non-trivial expression, and there
was at least one usage where it was causing an actual side effect/bug
on Windows (see change around square_f(sh[index++]) in studiolight.c).
For such cases it is handy to have a function which is guaranteed to
have zero side-effects. The motivation behind actually removing the
macros is that there is already a way to do similar calculation. Also,
not having such macros is a way to guarantee that its usage is not
changed in a way which have side-effects and that it's not used as an
inspiration for cases where it should not be used.

This diff will add support for local view to Cycles rendered preview mode.
Currently the implementation shows same results as EEVEE does. This entails
a difference with Blender 2.79, where lights were automatically added to the
local view. {T69780} describes this should be solved before the next release.
This patch also solves missing `owner_id` issues when using the RNA CPP Api
from Cycles. Cycles didn't provide the `owner_id` making some functionality
fail, what then was worked around in Blender. It also fixes an issue in
`makesrna` where incorrect CPP code was generated when only `PARM_RNAPTR`
was provided.
An optional `view_layer` parameter is added to the `Object.local_view_get`
method to reduce lookups.

This patch updates it to:
