Currently this is needed to properly tag PointCache's for info update
(fixes an issue reported in T82503).
Suspect we may need this in more cases in the future though, RNA
assign/update processes are not always 100% enough to deal with
complicated corner cases.
We will need to expand this node soon to add weight/count for different
elements inside the collection. For that it is better to have the node
to use its own DNA.
Thanks to that same point cache being exposed in **four** different RNA
paths (twice in particle system, and twice in its embedded cloth
simulation settings).
Only way is to also make particle system overridable.
This node allows sampling a texture for every vertex based on some
mapping attribute. Typical attribute names are the name of a uv map
(e.g. "UVMap") and "position". However, every attribute that can be
converted to a vector implicitly is supported.
It should be noted that as of right now, uv map attributes can only be
accessed after a Point Distribute node.

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.

By design the modified object transformations should still work and
affect the geometry nodes results. The current behaviour, however, would
make the geometry from the object info to not be affected by the
modified object transformations. This patch changes that by default.
In a similar fashion the Location, Rotation and Scale sockets outputs
should be aware of whether the output should be in the global space or in the
space of the nodetree.
To solve this, the patch introduces a new transformation space "enum"
where users can pick "Original" or "Relative" space.
Original
--------
Output the geometry relative to the input object transform, and the
location, rotation and scale relative to the world origin.
Relative
--------
Bring the input object geometry, location, rotation and scale into the
modified object maintaining the relative position between the two objects in
the scene.
Relative space violates a bit the design of the nodetree. The geometry in this
case is transformed so that moving the modified object doesn't interfere with
the geometry. This is particularly useful for the boolean node for instance.
"Original" is the default space, but old files are set to "Relative" for
backwards compatibility.

overrides
Editing bone groups is not supported on proxies/overrides [changes a re
lost on file reload], need to do proper polling (and also prevent this
from rna) for:
- adding bone groups
- removing bone groups
- renaming bone groups
- setting bone groups colors
Previously, this was hinted at by setting the layout inactive, with
preoper polls, this is now not needed anymore.
note: Selection of bone groups actually makes sense here and is
supported, so this is not prevented in this patch, but UI wise this is
not nice in the override case, because one cannot set an active_index
(aka select) in the UI list.

When using grease pencil for drawing Storyboards, it's very common to require a transform of the layers. This transform can be done using the offset modifier, but in some cases, the scene requires a lot of modifiers and makes the file hard to work.
This new feature adds a transforms Location, Rotation and Scale at Layer level, and allows to transform the layer without using a modifier, keeping the scene more clean.

We should now have the tools to ensure consistency of ID pointers
diffing in `rna_property_override_diff_propptr`.
As a reminder, for most ID pointers we just check the actual pointer value,
but this is not possible for embedded IDs like root node trees or master
collections, and for fake embedded ones like shapekeys, so those should be
handled as mere sub-data of their owner IDs in override context.
Code generating override operations would not deal properly with Pointer
RNA properties, trying by default to use and check pointers' names
properties like it does with items of a collection.
However, using name property in pointer RNA property case makes no
sense, so specialize the `no_prop_name` flag for each case (pointer or
collection).
here, since second override would generate local data-blocks with
different names than the linked data ones, name matching would fail and
breck handling of override diffing in shapekeys.
Note that shape keys are the only one concerned by that problem, since
other embedded IDs (root node trees and master collections) are fully
real ones, so they always get the same names.

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.

This patch adds a noise offset option to the grease pencil noise modifier.
It allows the user to animate the noise along the length of the stroke to create movement that is currently not possible.
It works by adding an offset to the noise table and adding the remaining floating point value to the noise table sampling.

Instead of submitting tons of tiny IO syscalls, we can speed things up
significantly by `mmap`ing the .blend file into virtual memory and directly
accessing it.
In my local testing, this speeds up loading the Dweebs file with all its
linked files from 19sec to 10sec (on Linux).
As far as I can see, this should be supported on Linux, OSX and BSD.
For Windows, a second code path uses `CreateFileMapping` and
`MapViewOfFile` to achieve the same result.

Currently the grease pencil noise modifier seed value is under the randomize subpanel.
Moved the seed value outside of this panel because it doesn't only change the noise when using the randomize option. Moving the seed value prevents it from being hidden/greyed out so the user can manually keyframe it to control the noise animation.

{rB1d3b92bdeabc} disabled animating other properties of the socket default
values, like the "min" and "max" properties, as well as the "default_value"
of the "default_value". That naming confusion lead to the commit
inadvertently removing animation for the vector socket in RNA.
I checked that the other socket types don't have the same issue.
The translate node moves every point in the geometry, and the scale
node multiplies the "scale" attribute of the input geometry by its input.
While these operations are already possible with the "Attribute" nodes,
these new nodes fit nicely with the nodes specifically for changing the
"rotation" attribute that already exist, and they provide a simpler way
to do the same thing.

Partially reverts 2250b5cefe.
Removing the user count and fake user count icons was controversial (which was
expected) and there are a few further changes needed, that won't make it in
time for the release, see D9946.
While there is a design to bring back the user count and fake user indicators,
a new design idea was proposed that the UI team wants to follow. This came too
late for the 2.92 release, the new design is targeted at the 2.93 release now.
Meanwhile, UI team decision was to simply revert the design changes.
The new design is being worked on in https://developer.blender.org/T84669.
Note that this commit does not revert some internal changes done in
2250b5cefe. Namely the introduction of `ed_util_ops.c` and data-block
operators in there. These will still be needed in the new design.
This greatly simplifies the Point Distribute node. For a poisson disk
distribution, it now uses a simpler dart throwing variant. This results
in a slightly lower quality poisson disk distribution, but it still
fulfills our requirements: have a max density, minimum distance input
and stability while painting the density attribute.
This new implementation has a number of benefits over the old one:
* Much less and more readable code.
* Easier to extend with other distribution algorithms.
* Easier to transfer more attributes to the generated points later on.
* More predictable output when changing the max density and min distance.
* Works in 3d, so no projection on the xy plane is necessary.
This is related to T84640.

Currently it is not possible to edit bare IDProperty pointer
values which are not explicitly defined through python via
UI fields. This is likely mostly because, unlike numeric values,
pointers aren't marked PROP_EDITABLE by default. However there
are also some bugs in the RNA code that need fixing.
The Geometry Nodes modifier uses bare properties to store
input settings for the node group it wraps, so supporting
Object and Collection sockets requires editable pointers.
This patch marks bare IDProperties editable, and ensures
that changing ID pointers rebuilds the dependency graph.
A type check is needed because an IDPROPERTY PointerPropertyRNA
can actually wrap a group value rather than an ID pointer.
Making pointers editable is not likely to accidentally
affect UI fields that were not intended to be editable,
because a simple `layout.prop` cannot determine which
datablocks to display in the menu and remains read-only.
The PROP_NEVER_UNLINK flag is also removed: it seems it
was added because the edit field that couldn't produce
a menu to set the pointer used to still display the unlink
button, but that seems not to be the case anymore.
Actual support for Object & Collection inputs in the modifier
is added in D10056, which can be used to test this code.

The Asset Browser will be disabled and not available for the 2.92 release. In
alpha/beta builds, there will be an "Asset Browser" option under Preferences >
Experimental, if the developer extras are enabled.
Note that this also disables related UI elements (e.g. "Mark Asset" buttons,
Preferences settings for asset libraries, etc.).
The code is still in master of course, development and testing will continue
there. But there simply needs to be too much polishing and fixing before the
2.92 release, plus there are some design decisions to be reevaluated.
