This patch implements the vector types (i.e:`float2`) by making heavy
usage of templating. All vector functions are now outside of the vector
classes (inside the `blender::math` namespace) and are not vector size
dependent for the most part.
In the ongoing effort to make shaders less GL centric, we are aiming
to share more code between GLSL and C++ to avoid code duplication.
####Motivations:
- We are aiming to share UBO and SSBO structures between GLSL and C++.
This means we will use many of the existing vector types and others
we currently don't have (uintX, intX). All these variations were
asking for many more code duplication.
- Deduplicate existing code which is duplicated for each vector size.
- We also want to share small functions. Which means that vector
functions should be static and not in the class namespace.
- Reduce friction to use these types in new projects due to their
incompleteness.
- The current state of the `BLI_(float|double|mpq)(2|3|4).hh` is a
bit of a let down. Most clases are incomplete, out of sync with each
others with different codestyles, and some functions that should be
static are not (i.e: `float3::reflect()`).
####Upsides:
- Still support `.x, .y, .z, .w` for readability.
- Compact, readable and easilly extendable.
- All of the vector functions are available for all the vectors types
and can be restricted to certain types. Also template specialization
let us define exception for special class (like mpq).
- With optimization ON, the compiler unroll the loops and performance
is the same.
####Downsides:
- Might impact debugability. Though I would arge that the bugs are
rarelly caused by the vector class itself (since the operations are
quite trivial) but by the type conversions.
- Might impact compile time. I did not saw a significant impact since
the usage is not really widespread.
- Functions needs to be rewritten to support arbitrary vector length.
For instance, one can't call `len_squared_v3v3` in
`math::length_squared()` and call it a day.
- Type cast does not work with the template version of the `math::`
vector functions. Meaning you need to manually cast `float *` and
`(float *)[3]` to `float3` for the function calls.
i.e: `math::distance_squared(float3(nearest.co), positions[i]);`
- Some parts might loose in readability:
`float3::dot(v1.normalized(), v2.normalized())`
becoming
`math::dot(math::normalize(v1), math::normalize(v2))`
But I propose, when appropriate, to use
`using namespace blender::math;` on function local or file scope to
increase readability.
`dot(normalize(v1), normalize(v2))`
####Consideration:
- Include back `.length()` method. It is quite handy and is more C++
oriented.
- I considered the GLM library as a candidate for replacement. It felt
like too much for what we need and would be difficult to extend / modify
to our needs.
- I used Macros to reduce code in operators declaration and potential
copy paste bugs. This could reduce debugability and could be reverted.
- This touches `delaunay_2d.cc` and the intersection code. I would like
to know @howardt opinion on the matter.
- The `noexcept` on the copy constructor of `mpq(2|3)` is being removed.
But according to @JacquesLucke it is not a real problem for now.
I would like to give a huge thanks to @JacquesLucke who helped during this
and pushed me to reduce the duplication further.

Fixes issue T94603
It adds a new compositor node called Scene Time which is already present as a geo node, having the same basic nodes available in all node trees is a nice thing to have.
Renames "Time" node to "Time Curve", this is done to avoid confusion between the Time node and the Scene Time node.

Calculate/Update Paths only works on the selected objects/objects.
Better to not have them both on the same line.

Two new automasking modes: "Brush Normal"
and "View Normal."
Brush Normal compares vertex normals to
the initial sculpt normal, while View
Normal of course compares with the
view vector.
Each of these modes have an angular limit
and a falloff. There's also an "original
normal" option, which needs a better name;
"original normal" is actually already taken,
but "automasking original normal" is a lot of
characters. Not sure what to do here.
When weight painting the bone overlay is extremely intrusive,
effectively requiring either extensive use of hiding individual
bones, or disabling the whole bone overlay between selections.
This addresses the issue by adding a bone opacity slider that
is used for the 'wireframe' armature drawing mode. It directly
controls the uniform opacity as a straightforward option.

This commit inserts a new menu item into the export menu called
"Wavefront OBJ (.obj) - New".
For now the old Python exporter remains in the menu, along with
the Python importer, but we plan to remove it soon (leaving the
old addon bundled with Blender but not enabled by default).
Calculates the angle in radians between two faces that meet at an edge.
0 to PI in either direction with flat being 0 and folded over on itself PI.
If there are not 2 faces on the edge, the angle will be 0.
For valid edges, the angle is the same as the 'edge angle' overlay.
For the Face and Point domain, the node uses simple interpolation to calculate a value.

This function node creates a running total of a given Vector, Float, or
Int field.
Inputs:
- Value: The field to be accumulated
- Group Index: The values of this input are used to aggregate the input
into separate 'bins', creating multiple accumulations.
Outputs:
- Leading and Trailing: Returns the running totals starting
at either the first value of each accumulations or 0 respectively.
- Total: Returns the total accumulation at all positions of the field.
There's currently plenty of duplicate work happening when multiple outputs
are used that could be optimized by a future refactor to field inputs.

This evaluator is used in order to evaluate subdivision at render time, allowing for
faster renders of meshes with a subdivision surface modifier placed at the last
position in the modifier list.
When evaluating the subsurf modifier, we detect whether we can delegate evaluation
to the draw code. If so, the subdivision is first evaluated on the GPU using our own
custom evaluator (only the coarse data needs to be initially sent to the GPU), then,
buffers for the final `MeshBufferCache` are filled on the GPU using a set of
compute shaders. However, some buffers are still filled on the CPU side, if doing so
on the GPU is impractical (e.g. the line adjacency buffer used for x-ray, whose
logic is hardly GPU compatible).
This is done at the mesh buffer extraction level so that the result can be readily used
in the various OpenGL engines, without having to write custom geometry or tesselation
shaders.
We use our own subdivision evaluation shaders, instead of OpenSubDiv's vanilla one, in
order to control the data layout, and interpolation. For example, we store vertex colors
as compressed 16-bit integers, while OpenSubDiv's default evaluator only work for float
types.
In order to still access the modified geometry on the CPU side, for use in modifiers
or transform operators, a dedicated wrapper type is added `MESH_WRAPPER_TYPE_SUBD`.
Subdivision will be lazily evaluated via `BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh` which will
create such a wrapper if possible. If the final subdivision surface is not needed on
the CPU side, `BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh_no_subsurf` should be used.
Enabling or disabling GPU subdivision can be done through the user preferences (under
Viewport -> Subdivision).

This adds interface panels to organize the Cache File UI parameters for
modifiers and constraints into related components: velocity, time, and
render procedural.
Properties relating to the three aforementioned components are separated
from `uiTemplateCacheFile` into their own functions (e.g.
`uiTemplateCacheFileVelocity` for the velocity one), which are in turn
called from the specific panel creation routines of the modifiers and
constraints (for constraints, the functions are exposed to the RNA).
`uiTemplateCacheFile` now only shows the properties for the file path,
and in the case of constraints, the scale property.
The properties that are only defined per modifier (like the velocity
scale), are shown in the proper modifier layout panel if applicable.
