The viewer node has been expanded to have a field input next to the
geometry input. When both are connected (by ctrl+shift clicking on a node)
the spreadsheet will show the evaluated field on the geometry.
The operator to link to the viewer has become a bit smarter. It automatically
detects if it should link to the geometry or field input. In the future some more
smartness could be added, such as automatically relinking the "right" geometry
when viewing a field.
Internally, there are two major changes:
* Refactor of what happens when ctrl+shift clicking on a node to link to
a viewer. The behavior of the geometry nodes viewer is a bit more complex
than that of the compositor viewers. The behavior in compositing nodes
should not have changed. Any change should be reported as a bug (and then
we can decide if it's worse than before or if it needs fixing).
* Evaluation, display and caching of fields in the spreadsheet editor.

This patch makes the background grid of the node editor a grid of dots
instead of lines. This makes the background look a bit more subtle and
reduces visual complexity. The dots are meant to provide a reference
when panning and zooming. Based on the design of @pablovazquez, and
a patch originally authored by @fabian_schempp.
The "Grid Levels" controls how many levels of dots are drawn. As the
editor zooms in, the higher levels of dots fade in, making them closer
together visually. The zoom factor at which each grid starts and ends
fading in is controllable in the code, and could be tweaked further
in the future. The new default value is 7, out of a range from 0 to 9.

This replaces the boolean Offset input in the Set Position node with
a vector input. This makes the node easier to use. Using a "Position"
input as an "Offset" sounds wrong anyway.
The Position and Offset inputs are evaluated at the same time.
The versioning only works correctly when the Offset input was not connected

Adds a filter popup to the header that allows specifiying which data-block
types to show. The menu automatically reflects all supported ID types, so it
shows a checkbox for materials, worlds and actions currently by default, and
all ID types with the "Extended Asset Browser" experimental feature enabled.
The epsilon was too optimistic. Snapping to hard-coded (0,-1,0) at
singularity should produce max delta 0.0005, but double it to be safe.
This only affects debug builds obviously.
Camera, lattice and speaker object types were missing there own proper
`USER_DUP_` flags, leading to not properly handling duplication of their
object data.
NOTE: We could probably simply opions here, by using categories (like
'GEOMETRY', 'SHADING', etc.) instead of exact object types. But this is
beyond bugfix scope.
This patch includes code from D9891 and D12754, so credit goes to Juanfran and Dalai.

This commit makes the bounding box node work on each unique geometry
(including instances) individually instead of making one large bounding
box for everything. This makes the node much faster, and is often the
desired result anyway. For the old behavior, a realize instances node
can be used in front of this node (versioning adds it automatically).
The min and max outputs now only output the values from the realized
geometry.

When appending an asset from the asset browser, its asset data needs to
be cleared.
However, linking an asset (or regular append from the file browser)
should not clear such data. In linking case, it would be there again
after a blend file reload anyway.
So this commit introduces a new `BLO_LIBLINK_APPEND_ASSET_DATA_CLEAR`
option.
NOTE: in case the appended ID needs to be copied from its linked data
(instead of making the later directly local), asset data is lost anyway
since it is never copied with the ID currently.
Ref. {T91749} and D11768.
Appended objects could be hidden, making any further operations
potentially skip the newly added objects.
Now FILE_AUTOSELECT asserts when newly added options aren't selectable.
De-duplicates wm_append_loose_data_instantiate_object_base_instance_init
and object_base_instance_init.
Add BLO_object_instantiate_object_base_instance_init which also adds to
a collection since all callers did this.
When the input vector gets close to -Y, y and theta becomes totally
unreliable. It is thus necessary to compute the result in a different
way based on x and z. The code already had a special case, but:
- The threshold for using the special case was way too low.
- The special case was not precise enough to extend the threshold.
- The special case math had a sign error, resulting in a jump.
This adds tests for the computation precision and fixes the issues
by adjusting the threshold, and replacing the special case with one
based on a quadratic Taylor expansion of sqrt instead of linear.
Replacing the special case fixes the bug and results in a compatibility
break, requiring versioning for the roll of affected bones.

In 2.93 and before, when appending wityh 'localize all' off, all linked
IDs (including indirectly linked ones) from initial library would be
made local.
In 3.0, after refactor from rB3be5ce4aad5e, only directly linked IDs
(i.e. user-selected IDs) would be made local.
This change was not intentional (result of confusing code and naming in
previous implementation), and old behavior is used in some workflows to
control which data is kept linked and which data is made local.
This commit revert to 2.93 behavior.
NOTE: there is still an (extreme) corner case where behavior is
different between 2.93 and 3.0:
If you append (at the same time) object A from LibA.blend, and object B
from LibB.blend, and object B uses somehow a material from LibA.blend:
* In 2.93, that material would have been made local (because it belonged
to one of the 'initial' libraries, even though not the initial lib of
object B).
* In 3.0, this material will remain linked, since from object B
persective it comes from a different library.
This commit removes the implicit conversion from points to a mesh
that used to happen before the next modifier. It also removes the
implicit realizing of instances that happened before another modifier.
Now we have specific nodes for both of these operations, the
implicit conversions make less sense, and implicit instance
realizing has already been removed in other nodes.
This adds another geometry nodes modifier before modifiers that would
have realized instances implicitly before. Currently adding another
data-block during versioning after linking means that an assert needs
to be changed. That should be made unnecessary by T92333.

Some compositing applications do not support spaces and dots in layer names, and change
these to other symbols on import. This causes various compatibility issues, including
with Cryptomatte metadata. While technically those could be considered bugs in the
Cryptomatte implementation of other software, where they are not properly accounting for
that layer renaming, it's not ideal.
The OpenEXR channel naming convention is "layer.pass.channel". We get away with dots in
the layer name since we parse this from right to left, but it's a weak assumption.
Now we don't forbid using spaces or dots, and existing files are unchanged. But at
least by default names will be compatible, and hopefully other software catches up in
time to support more flexible layer names.

Back in Blender 2.30, the GUI project brought panels into Blender among other important visual updates.
For the first time it was possible to move the wall of buttons around. Providing a clear separation
between sections (it even allowed the grouping of panels in tabs!)
During the 2.5 redesign, the separation between panels became a line on top of each panel, and panels received
theme settings for background and header colors. The default theme used the same color for both.
In 2.8 the background color of panels was different from headers in the default theme, so the separator
line was removed. While the separator line wasn't elegant (only on top, non-themeable, hard-coded emboss effect),
it provided a sort of separation between panels.
This patch solves the panels-separation by simply adding a margin space around them (not visible in default theme yet).
Even though the margin reduces the width of the working area slightly, it makes room for the upcoming always-visible scrollbars.
Other adjustments:
* Use arrow icon instead of triangle to collapse/expand
* Use rounded corners to match the rest of the UI (editor corners, nodes, etc).

Margin on panels makes use of the `style->panelouter` property that hasn't been
used in a while. Also slight tweaks to `boxspace` and `templatespace` style properties so they
are multiples of 2 and operations on them round better.
There is technically no need to update the themes for them to work, so no theme changes are included in this patch.

Some runtime data that stores which sockets can be fields and which
can't is not stored in the file, but only calculated when necessary.
When opening a file, the node tree update function was called, which
recalculated this data, but that was explicily turned off for undo.
This exposes a fundamental issue with undo, the ID caching system for
undo, and how it relates to node trees in particular. Ideally this call
couldn't be necessary at all. In the future it could be removed by
adding a runtime struct to node trees, and calculating its contents
on-demand instead of preemtively.

There is not enough time before the release to improve Random Walk to handle
all cases this was used for, so restore it for now.
Since there is no more path splitting in cycles-x, this can increase noise in
non-flat areas for the sample number of samples, though fewer rays will be traced
also. This is fundamentally a trade-off we made in the new design and why Random
Walk is a better fit. However the importance resampling we do now does help to
reduce noise.

While drawing cleared this value (as part of temporary fix from 2009),
this was still being checked until recently.
Remove this value in versioning code.

This update of the Switch node allows for field compatible types
to be switched through the node. This includes the following:
Float, Int, Bool, String, Vector, and Color
The remaining types are processed with the orginal code:
Geometry, Object, Collection, Texture, and Material
Because the old types require a diffent "switch" socket than the
field types, versioning for old files is included to move links
of those types to a new switch socket. Once fields of other types
are supported, this node can be updated to support them as well.

Copy/Paste uses its own code path for ID linking, which was not setting
`LIB_TAG_DOIT` for proper instantiation later on.
Would be nice the make this logic closer to the rest of the link/append
code at some point, but for now this fix will do.
No idea why this was done that way (it originate from initial paste
commit, rB12b642062c6f).
But the IDs 'selected' as direct paste in `BLO_library_link_copypaste`
should be 'directly' linked, it's similar case to actual append of
selected IDs by the user.
Related to T87189.
With 794c2828af & f48a4aa0f9 it's possible to reuse possibly
expensive, nested data of a data-block when appending. E.g. the
texture of a material, or the mesh of an object. Without this it's easy
to bloat memory and the file size. Duplicated textures also cause
unnecessary shader recompilations.
The feature was intended to be the new default behavior for the Asset
Browser, but it wasn't actually added to the UI yet. This patch adds a
new import type option to the Asset Browser. So from the menu in the
header, you can now choose between:
* Link
* Append
* Append (Reuse Data)
The latter is the new default.
