This is very similar to D14077. There are two differences though.
First is that vertex creases are already stored in a separate layer,
and second is that we can now completely remove use of `Mesh.cd_flag`,
since that information is now inherent to whether the layers exist.
There are two functional differences here:
* Operators are used to add and remove layers instead of a property.
* The "crease" attribute can be created and removed by geometry nodes.
The second change should make various geometry nodes slightly faster,
since the "crease" attribute was always processed before. Creases are
now interpolated generically in the CustomData API too, which should
help maintain the values across edits better.
Meshes get an `edge_creases` RNA property like the existing vertex
property, to provide more efficient access to the data in Cycles.
One test failure is expected, where different rounding between float
the old char storage means that 5 additional points are scattered in
a geometry nodes test.

When a change happens which invalidates view layers the syncing will be postponed until the first usage.
This will improve importing or adding many objects in a single operation/script.
`BKE_view_layer_need_resync_tag` is used to tag the view layer to be out of sync. Before accessing
`BKE_view_layer_active_base_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_object_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_collection`
or `BKE_view_layer_object_bases` the caller should call `BKE_view_layer_synced_ensure`.
Having two functions ensures that partial syncing could be added as smaller patches in the future. Tagging a
view layer out of sync could be replaced with a partial sync. Eventually the number of full resyncs could be
reduced. After all tagging has been replaced with partial syncs the ensure_sync could be phased out.
This patch has been added to discuss the details and consequences of the current approach. For clarity
the call to BKE_view_layer_ensure_sync is placed close to the getters.
In the future this could be placed in more strategical places to reduce the number of calls or improve
performance. Finding those strategical places isn't that clear. When multiple operations are grouped
in a single script you might want to always check for resync.
Some areas found that can be improved. This list isn't complete.
These areas aren't addressed by this patch as these changes would be hard to detect to the reviewer.
The idea is to add changes to these areas as a separate patch. It might be that the initial commit would reduce
performance compared to master, but will be fixed by the additional patches.
**Object duplication**
During object duplication the syncing is temporarily disabled. With this patch this isn't useful as when disabled
the view_layer is accessed to locate bases. This can be improved by first locating the source bases, then duplicate
and sync and locate the new bases. Will be solved in a separate patch for clarity reasons ({D15886}).
**Object add**
`BKE_object_add` not only adds a new object, but also selects and activates the new base. This requires the
view_layer to be resynced. Some callers reverse the selection and activation (See `get_new_constraint_target`).
We should make the selection and activation optional. This would make it possible to add multiple objects
without having to resync per object.
**Postpone Activate Base**
Setting the basact is done in many locations. They follow a rule as after an action find the base and set
the basact. Finding the base could require a resync. The idea is to store in the view_layer the object which
base will be set in the basact during the next sync, reducing the times resyncing needs to happen.

As described in T95966, the goal is to move to a "struct of arrays"
approach rather than gathering an arbitrary set of data in hard-coded
structs. This has performance benefits, but also code complexity
benefits (this patch removes plenty of code, though the boilerplate
for the new operators outweighs that here).
To mirror the internal change, the options for storing mesh bevel
weights are converted into operators that add or remove the layer,
like for some other layers.
The most complex change is to the solidify modifier, where bevel
weights had special handling. Other than that, most changes are
removing clearing of the weights, boilerplate for the add/remove
operators, and removing the manual transfer of bevel weights
in bmesh - mesh conversion.
Eventually bevel weights can become a fully generic attribute,
but for now this patch aims to avoid most functional changes.
Bevel weights are still written and read from the mesh in the old way,
so neither forward nor backward compatibility are affected. As described
in T95965, writing in the old format will be done until 4.0.

- Add SelectPick_Params struct to make picking logic more
straightforward and easier to extend.
- Use `eSelectOp` instead of booleans (extend, deselect, toggle)
which were used to represent 4 states (which wasn't obvious).
- Handle deselect_all when pocking instead of view3d_select_exec,
de-duplicate de-selection which was already needed in when replacing
the selection in picking functions.
- Handle outliner update & notifiers in the picking functions
instead of view3d_select_exec.
- Fix particle select deselect_all option which did nothing.

Rename function EDBM_update_generic to EDBM_update, use a parameters
argument for better readability.
Also add calc_normals argument, which will have benefits when
calculating normals and tessellation together is optimized.
Regression in 80cbbd2843.
Unfortunately keeping selection picking behavior as well as
supporting finding the nearest face within a radius requires an
inconsistency between x-ray and back-buffer selection that
doesn't work well using the current arguments.
Resolve by adding an argument that causes the input distance
to be ignored for back-buffer selection.
This is used by selection picking but not the knife tool.
This changes behavior for path-selection in face mode,
which now uses a margin for back-buffer selection.
From my own testing this doesn't seem to be a problem like it could be
for regular selection picking.
Respect the distance argument to EDBM_face_find_nearest,
when zero, sample a single pixel, otherwise sample a region.
Knife uses the selection-buffer to pick a face when the ray-cast failed.
This was meant to allow snapping to nearby faces however as the margin
was ignored, it was only used in edge cases where the ray-cast missed
but the pixel didn't.
Now the face-picking threshold is working as expected.
Note that other callers to EDBM_face_find_nearest have been updated
so set their distance argument to zero so this only impacts the knife.
Regular selection and path select could be modified separately if users
prefer this behavior.
Resolve logical error in edbm_shortest_path_pick_invoke
where any discrepancy between EDBM_unified_findnearest and
edbm_elem_find_nearest caused the active-object to be cleared.
While it's not a problem at the moment, using a larger threshold
for path picking exposes the error.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

Bring back per-viewport localview. This is based on Blender 2.79.
We have a limit of 16 different local view viewports.
We are using both the numpad /, as well as the regular /.
Missing features:
* Hack to make sure lights are always visible.
* Make rendered mode with external engines to support this as well
(probably just need to support this in the RNA iterators).
* Support over 16 viewports by taking existing viewports out of local view.
The code can use a cleanup pass in the future to unify the test to see
if an object is visible (or we can use TESTBASE in more places).
This makes the Edit Mesh display settings common to all objects. They can
also be set differently per viewport.
Modifying extra data (seams, sharp edges etc...) will no longer set them
automaticaly visible.
Bumping version because we need to force set all extra draw options for
older files.
In some cases we need to use this array afterwards,
so this gives control over which objects are used for picking.
Also use an index argument as return argument
so callers that need to know the index in the array
don't need to calculate it afterwards.
This fully works as "expected", however it seems strange when
there is no selected vertex in the non-active object.
In 2.7x if you join two monkeys, select a vertex in one of them and
try to use this operator in the other it will select the lonely newly
selected vertex.
If you split both monkeys and do this in 2.8 while multi-editing them
you won't get nothing when trying to ctrl+RMB any vertex in the monkey
object that has nothing selected yet.
I propose to have this addressed in an upcoming patch where we always
select a vertex if no vertex was previously selected.
To get consistent, user-expected results here, we need to 'fake'
starting immediately after a 'skip' block (such that we start with a
full block of selected elements).
Same issue affected vertices and edges selection of course, did not
check the other usages of WM_operator_properties_checker_interval_test()
though.

The depsgraph was always created within a fixed evaluation context. Passing
both risks the depsgraph and evaluation context not matching, and it
complicates the Python API where we'd have to expose both which is not so
easy to understand.
This also removes the global evaluation context in main, which assumed there
to be a single active scene and view layer.

2.8x branch added bContext arg in many places,
pass eval-context instead since its not simple to reason about what
what nested functions do when they can access and change almost anything.
Also use const to prevent unexpected modifications.
This fixes crash loading files with shadows,
since off-screen buffers use a NULL context for rendering.
Note that some little parts of code have been dissabled because eval_ctx
was not available there. This should be resolved once DerivedMesh is
replaced.
