This patch replaces the existing transfer attribute node with three
nodes, "Sample Nearest Surface", "Sample Index", and "Sample Nearest".
This follows the design in T100010, allowing for new nodes like UV
sampling in the future. There is versioning so the new nodes replace
the old ones and are relinked as necessary.
The "Sample Nearest Surface" node is meant for the more complex
sampling algorithms that only work on meshes and interpolate
values inside of faces.
The new "Sample Index" just retrieves attributes from a geometry at
specific indices. It doesn't have implicit behavior like the old
transfer mode, which should make it more predictable. In order to not
change the behavior from existing files, the node has a has a "Clamp",
which is off by default for consistency with the "Field at Index" node.
The "Sample Nearest" node returns the index of the nearest element
on a geometry. It can be combined with the "Sample Index" node for
the same functionality as the old transfer node. This node can support
curves in the future.
Backwards compatibility is handled by versioning, but old versions can
not understand these nodes. The warning from 680fa8a523 should make
this explicit in 3.3 and earlier.

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.

In D10241, both NodeItems for NodeGroupInput and NodeGroupOutput in the

As the NodeItem.poll() is called by the NodeCategory class and not by
the NodeItem class, the poll functions associated with those NodeItems
were never called. This should correct that.

Add the Redo panel to the dopesheet & NLA editors. This also implicitly
adds it to the timeline editor, since it's a kind of action editor
internally.
This feature is needed for changing advanced properties of animation
operators, such as select grouped (see D14811). But it can also be
useful for existing operators, like precise keyframe position tweaking.
Changes are basically the same as in D6286 (which added the redo panel
for Graph Editor).
Some operators have internal properties that should be hidden. A full
list can be found in T98195. These will be fixed in a follow-up patch.

Currently node group assets are supported, but using them by dragging
from the asset browser is cumbersome. This patch adds all node group
assets from user asset libraries and the current file libraries to the
add node search menu and the link drag search menu.
Node groups added through the search will have their "options" hidden,
meaning the data-block selector is displayed. This helps keep the UI
clean, and the selector shouldn't be necessary anyway.
To make that possible, metadata like the node tree type and its inputs
and outputs has to be saved in the file. This requires re-saving the
files that contain the assets with the patch applied.
The node add search operator is moved from Python to C++ to ease
development and allow more flexibility. It supports a tooltip that
gives the description of assets.
Currently the node groups are added with the asset system's existing
"Append & Reuse" behavior. It's likely that linking should be possible
in the future too, but for now the idea is to use the more foolproof
option that doesn't create dependencies between files.
Because loading assets can potentially take a long time, the search
menu refreshes its items as new assets are loaded. However, changing
the search field is necessary to see the update.

This commit adds a node to distribute points inside of volume grids.
The "Random" mode usese OpenVDB's "point scatter" implementation, and
there is also a "Grid" mode for uniform distributions. Both methods
operate on all of the float grids in the volume, using every voxel with
a value higher than the threshold. The random method is not stable as
the input volume deforms.

With the recent addition of the UV unwrapping node, there is a need to
be able to create seams easily. This node does that by outputting a
selection of the boundaries between different input face sets. In the
context of UV mapping, one inputs the "patches" you want, and the node
gives you the seams needed to make those patches.

The motivation for this change: while working on an animation recently, I found that there are some gaps that won't close easily via stroke extension or leak size checking. In D14698, I attempted to address this by changing the algorithm of the raster-space flood fill. This patch attempts to address the same issue in vector space by adding two new cases where stroke extensions are added, as suggested by @frogstomp:
# **Points of high curvature:** when the curvature at a point is high enough that it's hard to visually distinguish between it and an endpoint, add a stroke extension out along the normal (pointing in the opposite direction of the stroke's acceleration.) This addresses cases where technically the endpoint points up, but there's a sharp corner right below it that should extend to connect.
# **Stroke endpoints within a radius**: when two endpoints are close together, regardless of the angle they make, connect them if they are within a radius. This addresses cases like where the two endpoints have effectively parallel tangents, so extensions won't close the gap.

This change adds cryptomatte render passes to EEVEE-Next. Due to the upcoming viewport
compositor we also improved cryptomatte so it will be real-time. This also allows viewing
the cryptomatte passes in the viewport directly.
{F13482749}
A surface shader would store any active cryptomatte layer to a texture. Object hash is stored
as R, Asset hash as G and Material hash as B. Hashes are only calculated when the cryptomatte
layer is active to reduce any unneeded work.
During film accumulation the hashes are separated and stored in a texture array that matches
the cryptomatte standard. For the real-time use case sorting is skipped. For final rendering
the samples are sorted and normalized.
NOTE: Eventually we should also do sample normalization in the viewport in order to extract the correct
mask when using the viewport compositor.

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.

The library overrides context menu operators only make sense when at
least one ID is selected in the Outliner. So don't show them unless
that's the case. This also means the menu items don't show up anymore

a) There were two filter icons next to each other in the header which
isn't exactly professional, b) the filter was redundant since IDs are
now grouped under an ID type element ("Objects", "Collection", ...)
anyway.
In the hierarchies view it was already hidden (because the whole point
of it is to show relationships between IDs, you wouldn't want to have
any parts of the hierarchy hidden).
Searching isn't possible in the hierarchies view anymore, so the options
for it shouldn't be displayed either.
Followup to 21b92a5f31, forgot to remove these.
c9a9967903 added a workaround for performance issues in heavy
production scenes in the library overrides hierarchies view, reducing
the amounts of elements to be built. Searching for elements would still
have to build the entire tree, so Blender would essentially freeze when

works around this issue for now.

[1] Listed as "World" in Task description.
This is a new implementation of the draw manager using modern
rendering practices and GPU driven culling.
This only ports features that are not considered deprecated or to be
removed.
The old DRW API is kept working along side this new one, and does not
interfeer with it. However this needed some more hacking inside the
draw_view_lib.glsl. At least the create info are well separated.
The reviewer might start by looking at `draw_pass_test.cc` to see the
API in usage.
Important files are `draw_pass.hh`, `draw_command.hh`,
`draw_command_shared.hh`.
In a nutshell (for a developper used to old DRW API):
- `DRWShadingGroups` are replaced by `Pass<T>::Sub`.
- Contrary to DRWShadingGroups, all commands recorded inside a pass or
sub-pass (even binds / push_constant / uniforms) will be executed in order.
- All memory is managed per object (except for Sub-Pass which are managed
by their parent pass) and not from draw manager pools. So passes "can"
potentially be recorded once and submitted multiple time (but this is
not really encouraged for now). The only implicit link is between resource
lifetime and `ResourceHandles`
- Sub passes can be any level deep.
- IMPORTANT: All state propagate from sub pass to subpass. There is no
state stack concept anymore. Ensure the correct render state is set before
drawing anything using `Pass::state_set()`.
- The drawcalls now needs a `ResourceHandle` instead of an `Object *`.
This is to remove any implicit dependency between `Pass` and `Manager`.
This was a huge problem in old implementation since the manager did not
know what to pull from the object. Now it is explicitly requested by the
engine.
- The pases need to be submitted to a `draw::Manager` instance which can
be retrieved using `DRW_manager_get()` (for now).
Internally:
- All object data are stored in contiguous storage buffers. Removing a lot
of complexity in the pass submission.
- Draw calls are sorted and visibility tested on GPU. Making more modern
culling and better instancing usage possible in the future.
- Unit Tests have been added for regression testing and avoid most API
breakage.
- `draw::View` now contains culling data for all objects in the scene
allowing caching for multiple views.
- Bounding box and sphere final setup is moved to GPU.
- Some global resources locations have been hardcoded to reduce complexity.
What is missing:
- ~~Workaround for lack of gl_BaseInstanceARB.~~ Done
- ~~Object Uniform Attributes.~~ Done (Not in this patch)
- Workaround for hardware supporting a maximum of 8 SSBO.

This patch moves material indices from the mesh `MPoly` struct to a
generic integer attribute. The builtin material index was already
exposed in geometry nodes, but this makes it a "proper" attribute
accessible with Python and visible in the "Attributes" panel.
The goals of the refactor are code simplification and memory and
performance improvements, mainly because the attribute doesn't have
to be stored and processed if there are no materials. However, until
4.0, material indices will still be read and written in the old
format, meaning there may be a temporary increase in memory usage.
Further notes:
* Completely removing the `MPoly.mat_nr` after 4.0 may require
changes to DNA or introducing a new `MPoly` type.
* Geometry nodes regression tests didn't look at material indices,
so the change reveals a bug in the realize instances node that I fixed.
* Access to material indices from the RNA `MeshPolygon` type is slower
with this patch. The `material_index` attribute can be used instead.
* Cycles is changed to read from the attribute instead.
* BMesh isn't changed in this patch. Theoretically it could be though,
to save 2 bytes per face when less than two materials are used.
* Eventually we could use a 16 bit integer attribute type instead.
