This makes subdivision surfaces compatible with the old subdivision
surface modifier and other applications that do not use the limit surface.
This option is available on the Subdivision Surface modifier.

Add an option to disable Alembic vertex interpolation.
Bump subversion from 5 to 6.
Alembic stores mesh samples at specific time keys; when a frame in
Blender maps to a timecode between two samples, Blender will interpolate
the mesh vertex positions. This interpolation only happens when the mesh
has a constant topology, but sometimes this was not detected properly
when the vertices change order, but the number of mesh elements remains
the same. This would result in a mesh with jumbled up vertices (T71981).
With this patch, users have the ability to disable vertex interpolation.
An alternative would be to have better detection of topology changes,
but that that'll cause a considerable slowdown.

This commit replaces the BVH Tree currently used by the Weld Modifier

This changes the result of the Weld Modifier to more closely match
`Merge > By Distance`.
There is also a big performance advantage.

Also added code so that exact solver does the whole collection at once.
This patch allows users to use a collection (as an alternative to Object)
for the boolean modifier operand, and therefore get rid of a long modifier stack.
With this option, self-intersections in either or both operands
will be handled properly (if both sides are piecewise winding
number constant, and maybe some other cases too).
In the Boolean tool, this flag was there already but the code
forced a unary operation in that case; this commit corrects it
to make a binary operation. This flag makes the code slower, which
is why it is an option and not an always-on thing.
This is for design task T67744, Boolean Redesign.
It adds a choice of solver to the Boolean modifier and the
Intersect (Boolean) and Intersect (Knife) tools.
The 'Fast' choice is the current Bmesh boolean.
The new 'Exact' choice is a more advanced algorithm that supports
overlapping geometry and uses more robust calculations, but is
slower than the Fast choice.
The default with this commit is set to 'Exact'. We can decide before
the 2.91 release whether or not this is the right choice, but this
choice now will get us more testing and feedback on the new code.
For 2.90 release this should not be exposed in the RNA API.
In master this needs to be ON by default, that's all.

This adds an option to the Multires modifier to sculpt directly on the
base mesh while previewing the displacement of a higher subdivisions
level. What this does it considering Multires as a regular modifier
without exposing the grid displacement to sculpt mode.
This allows to see the propagation happening in real time, which enables
to use complex tools like Cloth or Pose in much higher resolutions and
without surface noise and artifacts.

Following work done in 2.83, the resolution control is now a real
level-of-detail parameter. It is now useful to be able to set the
resolution for display independently from render. This is true for
both mesh generation and mesh deformation modes.
For compatibility with old scenes, resolution is retained and is the
render resolution. Old modifiers loaded have the value of resolution
also applied to viewport resolution. This allows newer modifiers to
be used in older versions without trouble

This patch adds the ability to render motion blur from Alembic caches.
The motion blur data is derived from a velocity attribute whose name has
to be defined by the user through the MeshSequenceCache modifier, with a
default value of ".velocities", which is the standard name in Alembic
for the velocity property, although other software may ignore it and
write velocity with their own naming convention (e.g. "v" in Houdini).
Furthermore, a property was added to define how the velocity vectors
are interpreted with regard to time : frame or second. "Frame"
means that the velocity is already scaled by the time step and we do not
need to modify it for it to look proper. "Second" means that the unit
the velocity was measured in is in seconds and so has to be scaled by
some time step computed here as being the time between two frames (1 /
FPS, which would be typical for a simulation). This appears to be
common, and is the default behavior.
Another property was added to control the scale of the velocity to
further modify the look of the motion blur.

The abbreviation 'init' is brief, unambiguous and already used
in thousands of places, also initialize is often accidentally
written with British spelling.
This matches the change that was done to the bevel modifier so that the
interface for the modifier, the active tool, and the operator are consistent.
This commit extends the refactor to the bmesh implementation too, so
that the parameters in the implementation don't stray too far from what
is exposed.
Tests are adjusted and still pass.
Internally the "show_expanded" property stores the expansion for every
subpanel, but for RNA we should only check the first bit of the flag that
corresponds to the main panel.
Every Particle Simulation node has a name (or a path when it is in a node group).
This name has to be used in the Simulation modifier on a point cloud to see
the particles.
Caching has been disabled for now, because it was holding back development
a bit. To reset the simulation, go back to frame 1.
Currently, there is no way to influence the simulation. There are just some
randomly moving points. Changing that is the next step.
The ocean modifier has two properties that use a [0, 10] hard min and
hard max. The values act as factors though, so it makes more sense to
use sliders and a 0 to 1 range.
This commit also bumps the file subversion to avoid repeatedly applying
the change to the properties' range.

Changed variable names from mmd, mds, mfs, and mes to fmd, fds, ffs, and fes. The author of this commits lights a candle for all the merge conflicts this will cause.
The eigenvectors in the ocean modifier (plus and minus) can be useful,
but are not exposed. Assuming the particle system was capable, the
eigenvectors could be used to drive spray emission velocities.
This exposes the controls to allow a map to be generated from these
eigenvectors. Currently, the values are mapped into a 0-255 range
similar to foam.

This will allow the easier addition of a constant radius mode in the
future and some changes in the UI to mirror the recent similar change
from "Only Vertices" to the "Affect" enum.
This mode is like Percent, but measures absolute distance along
adjacent edges instead of a percentage.
So, for example, if you use this mode with 2 segments and profile=1,
you will see the length that the bevel moves along unbeveled edges
between beveled ones will match the value specified.
Many users seem to expect this behavior, even though it means the
bevel width is uneven, so this option is for them.
This will fix situations where the modifier epansion was set elsewhere
besides the UI, like from the python console, solving the drawing part
of T77502.
Also adds update tags to the show_expanded property, which means
the properties window redraws when the property changes.
The current particle state is stored in a `CustomData` instance and
the cache is stored in `PointCache`.
The current state exists on the copy-on-write copies of the simulation,
while the cache only exists in the original data block.
This patch implements a temporary trivial particle simulation that does not
use the node system yet. It is used for testing and will be replaced soon.
`PointCache` still has some limitations that need to be overcome using
separate refactorings. For example, we need to be able to store the number
of particles in the point cache. Also we need to change which attributes
are stored for a particle system more dynamically than is currently possible afaik.

This patch implements the list panel system D7490 for modifiers.
It also moves modifier drawing to a callback in ModifierTypeInfo
in line with the extensible architecture refactoring goal T75724.
This adds a PanelRegister callback and utilities for registering
panels and subpanels. It also adds the callbacks for expansion saving
and drag and drop reordering described in D7490.
These utilities, callbacks, and other common UI elements shared
between modifiers live in MOD_ui_common.c.
Because modifier buttons are now in panels, we can make use of
subpanels for organization. The UI layouts also use the single
column layout style consistently used elsewhere in Blender.
Additionally, the mode-setting buttons are aligned and ordered
consistently with the outliner.
However, the large number of UI changes in this patch may mean
that additional polishing is required in master.
Thanks to William Reynish (@billreynish) who did a fair amount of the
layout work and to Julian Eisel (@Severin) for consistent help.
