This commit moves the storage of `bDeformGroup` and the active index
to `Mesh`, `Lattice`, and `bGPdata` instead of `Object`. Utility
functions are added to allow easy access to the vertex groups given
an object or an ID.
As explained in T88951, the list of vertex group names is currently
stored separately per object, even though vertex group data is stored
on the geometry. This tends to complicate code and cause bugs,
especially as geometry is created procedurally and tied less closely
to an object.
The "Copy Vertex Groups to Linked" operator is removed, since they
are stored on the geometry anyway.
This patch leaves the object-level python API for vertex groups in
place. Creating a geometry-level RNA API can be a separate step;
the changes in this commit are invasive enough as it is.
Note that opening a file saved in 3.0 in an earlier version means
the vertex groups will not be available.

This allows us to remove a callback from the modifier type info struct.
In the future the these modifiers might just be replaced by nodes
internally anyway, but in the meantime it's nice to unify the handling
of evaluated geometry a bit.

Since the initial merge of the geometry nodes project, the modifyPointCloud
function already was already modifying a geometry set. The function wasn't
renamed back then, because then the merge would have touched many
more files.
Ref T83357.
Implement improvement from T73139 for merging along edges.
It is now called "Connected" mode, while the default is called "All".
With the recent performance improvement, the Connected Mode is in some
cases only double the speed than the usual merge all strategy but in
other cases it may be even faster. The bottleneck is somewhere further
down the line of merging geometry.
The motivation for this patch came from T80897, because the merging in
complex solidify is making it very slow.
Now merging can be removed from solidify without greater consequences,
as this is just a quicker and more advanced algorithm to do the same
thing that solidify currently does slowly.

Ref D8966
The problem is related to the `use_index_order` option of `BLI_kdtree_3d_calc_duplicates_fast`.
With this option, the higher index is expected to be less than `tree->nodes_len`.
This removes `foreachObjectLink` from `ModifierTypeInfo`, `GpencilModifierTypeInfo`
and `ShaderFxTypeInfo`. There is no need to have both, `foreachObjectLink` and `foreachIDLink`.
There is not code that actually depends on `foreachObjectLink`.

As noted in T80164, there are quite a few area of Blender where the
"Reset to Default Value" operator in button context menus doesn't work.
Modifiers are one of them, because the DNA defaults system was never
set up for them.
Additionally, this should make modifier versioning easier. Whenever a
new field is added it should be automatically initialized to the
default value.
I had to make some ordering changes in the following modifiers to work
around an error with `-Wsign-conversion` in the macros:
- Solidify Modifier
- Corrective Smooth Modifier
- Screw Modifier
Some modifiers are special cases and are skipped in this commit:
- Data Transfer Modifier
- Cloth Modifier
- Fluid Modifier
- Softbody Modifier

This commit replaces the BVH Tree currently used by the Weld Modifier
with the KD Tree used by `Merge > By Distance`.
This changes the result of the Weld Modifier to more closely match
`Merge > By Distance`.
There is also a big performance advantage.
Here is an overview (models in D8995):
| 2.90 (Duplicate Limit = 0) | 2.90 (Duplicate Limit = 1) | master (BVH) (Duplicate Limit = 1) | patch (KD) |

This commit contains the Performance improvement, that was originally
proposed in D8966.
It improves the performance of the Weld Modifier by a lot.
It had a loop with execution time O(N^2) which is now O(N*log(N)) at a
bare maximum.
For modifier shortcuts we added a "custom_data" field to panels.
This commit uses the same system for accessing the list data that
corresponds to each panel. This way the context is only used once
and the modifier for each panel can be accessed more easily later.
This ends up being mostly a cleanup commit with a few small changes
in interface_panel.c. The large changes in the UI functions are due
to the fact that the panel custom data is now passed around as a
single pointer instead of being created again for every panel.
The list_index variable in Panel.runtime is removed as it's now
unnecessary.

This reverts commit 98b1a716d6.
That commit broke a few modifiers.py tests
(Screw+Weld and a weld merge threshold).
And some pairs may be lost in the first loop.
The original code to rearrange the weld vertices map was confusing.
It traverses the overlap result multiple times within a loop.
This part of the code has therefore been rethought, simplified and commented.
This also results in a slight improvement in the performance of the modifier.
This is part of a greater blenloader decentralization effort (T76372).
For modifiers the goal is that fewer files have to be modified when
a new modifier is added.
This patch just adds the `blendWrite` and `blendRead` callbacks to
`ModifierTypeInfo` but does not change any other code yet. In the next
steps, modifier specific code will be moved from `writefile.c` and
`readfile.c` into their corresponding `MOD_*` files.
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.

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.

- Use 'BKE_object_defgroup' prefix for object functions.
- Rename 'defvert_verify_index' to 'defvert_ensure_index'
since this adds the group if it isn't found.
This improves performance by reducing the amount of false positives.
A self overlap is made, so the distance from the vertices in the
overlap nodes is actually added.
