Goals of this refactor:
* More unified approach to updating everything that needs to be updated
after a change in a node tree.
* The updates should happen in the correct order and quadratic or worse
algorithms should be avoided.
* Improve detection of changes to the output to avoid tagging the depsgraph
when it's not necessary.
* Move towards a more declarative style of defining nodes by having a
more centralized update procedure.
The refactor consists of two main parts:
* Node tree tagging and update refactor.
* Generally, when changes are done to a node tree, it is tagged dirty
until a global update function is called that updates everything in
the correct order.
* The tagging is more fine-grained compared to before, to allow for more
precise depsgraph update tagging.
* Depsgraph changes.
* The shading specific depsgraph node for node trees as been removed.
* Instead, there is a new `NTREE_OUTPUT` depsgrap node, which is only
tagged when the output of the node tree changed (e.g. the Group Output
or Material Output node).
* The copy-on-write relation from node trees to the data block they are
embedded in is now non-flushing. This avoids e.g. triggering a material
update after the shader node tree changed in unrelated ways. Instead
the material has a flushing relation to the new `NTREE_OUTPUT` node now.
* The depsgraph no longer reports data block changes through to cycles
through `Depsgraph.updates` when only the node tree changed in ways
that do not affect the output.
Avoiding unnecessary updates seems to work well for geometry nodes and cycles.
The situation is a bit worse when there are drivers on the node tree, but that
could potentially be improved separately in the future.
Avoiding updates in eevee and the compositor is more tricky, but also less urgent.
* Eevee updates are triggered by calling `DRW_notify_view_update` in
`ED_render_view3d_update` indirectly from `DEG_editors_update`.
* Compositor updates are triggered by `ED_node_composite_job` in `node_area_refresh`.
This is triggered by calling `ED_area_tag_refresh` in `node_area_listener`.
Removing updates always has the risk of breaking some dependency that no
one was aware of. It's not unlikely that this will happen here as well. Adding
back missing updates should be quite a bit easier than getting rid of
unnecessary updates though.

Previously, `ImageTile->ok` and `ImageUser->ok` were used to indicate
whether an image failed to load. There were three possible values
which (probably) had the following meanings:
* `0`: There was an error while loading the image. Don't try to load again.
* `1`: Default value. Try to load the image.
* `2`: The image was loaded successfully.
This image-wide flag did not make sense unfortunately, because loading
may work for some frames of an image sequence but not for others.
Remember than an image data block can also contain a movie.
The purpose of the `->ok` flag was to serve as an optimization to avoid
trying to load a file over and over again when there is an error (e.g. the
file does not exist or is invalid). To get the optimization back, the patch
is changing `MovieCache` so that it can also cache failed load attempts.
As a consequence, `ibuf` is allowed to be `NULL` in a few more places.
I added the appropriate null checks.
This also solves issues when image sequences are used with the
Image Texture node in Geometry nodes (also see D12827).

There is not enough time before the release to improve Random Walk to handle
all cases this was used for, so restore it for now.
Since there is no more path splitting in cycles-x, this can increase noise in
non-flat areas for the sample number of samples, though fewer rays will be traced
also. This is fundamentally a trade-off we made in the new design and why Random
Walk is a better fit. However the importance resampling we do now does help to
reduce noise.

Implements T89789, T89792, custom grid (described as dynamic grid in
T78389) and UV grid snapping (T78391)
Replaces the default UV editor grid with 2 new types of grid :
* Custom grid: Allows the user to create an NxN grid, where the value
of N is specified by the user.
* Subdividing grid: Subdivides the UV editor grid when the user
zooms in the viewport and vice versa when zooming out.
UV snapping improvements :
* Increment snapping: Increment values for snapping are calculated based
on which grid type is being used in the UV editor
(subdividing or custom). In general the increment value is equal to
the distance between 2 visible grid lines.
* Absolute grid snap: New toggle added to increment snapping option in
the UV editor, allows UV grid snapping during translation.

Flags controlling link/append code are split between two enums, one in
`DNA_space_types.h` and one in `BLO_readfile.h`.
This commit:
- Moves flags exclusively used in WM and BLO code to `eBLOLibLinkFlags`
in `BLO_readfile.h`. Flags in `eFileSel_Params_Flag` from
`DNA_space_types.h` are now only the ones effectively used by the
file browser editor code too.
- Fixes some internal utils in `readfile.c` still taking `short` flag
parameter instead of proper `int` one.
NOTE: there are a few other flags that could probably be moved to
`eBLOLibLinkFlags` (at the very least `FILE_LINK`, probably also
`FILE_AUTOSELECT` and `FILE_ACTIVE_COLLECTION`), since those are not
effectively used by the file browser, and control linking/appending
behavior, not filebrowser behavior.
However for now think it's safer to not touch that.
This includes much improved GPU rendering performance, viewport interactivity,
new shadow catcher, revamped sampling settings, subsurface scattering anisotropy,
new GPU volume sampling, improved PMJ sampling pattern, and more.
Some features have also been removed or changed, breaking backwards compatibility.
Including the removal of the OpenCL backend, for which alternatives are under
development.

Draw thumbnails as strip overlay. This works for movie and image strips.
To draw thumbnails, this overlay has to be enabled and strips must be
tall enough.
The thumbnails are loaded from source file using separate thread and
stored in cache.
Drawing code uses only images stored in cache, and if any is missing,
background rendering job is started. If job can not render thumbnail,
to prevent endless loop of creating job for missing image it sets
`SEQ_FLAG_SKIP_THUMBNAILS` bit of `Sequence` flag.
To prevent visual glitches during timeline panning and zooming, `View2D`
flag `V2D_IS_NAVIGATING` is implemented. If bit is set, drawing code
will look for set of evenly distributed thumbnails that should be
guaranteed to exist and also set of previously displayed thumbnails.
Due to volatile nature of cache these thumbnails can be missing anyway,
in which case no new thumbnails will be drawn for particular strip.
Cache capacity is limited to 5000 thumbnails and performs cleanup of
non visible images when limit is reached.

This commit fully refactors the way linked IDs are made local when
appended.
Previously, `BKE_library_make_local` was (ab)used for this task, but it
was missing some contextual data and doing complex processing to try to
work around this, with limited sucess. Further more, it was nearly
impossibe to extend (e.g. to get new append behaviors necessary for the
asset project).
The new code is a dedicated append step in WM linking process.
NOTE: BPY API (`libray.load()` context manager) uses its own code here,
which still relies on `BKE_library_make_local` for appending.
Unfortunately, merging those two different code paths is not trivial so
for now this API will remain unchanged.
Fix T55629: Append already linked Data is impossible.
We now use a for_each function with callback to iterate through all sequences in the scene.
This has the benefit that we now only loop over the sequences in the scene once.
Before we would loop over them twice and allocate memory to store temporary data.
The allocation of temporary data lead to unintentional memory leaks if the code used returns to exit out of the iteration loop.
The new for_each callback method doesn't allocate any temporary data and only iterates though all sequences once.

This makes the internal naming consistent with the public API. And also gives
us a visibility_flag rather than restrictflag that can be extended with more
flags.
This reverts commit rB3a48147b8ab92, and fixes the issues with linking
etc.
Change compared to previous buggy commit (rBf8d219dfd4c31) is that
new `BlendFileReadReports` reports are now passed to the lowest level
function generating the `FileData` (`filedata_new()`), which ensures
(and asserts) that all code using it does have a valid non-NULL pointer
to a `BlendFileReadReport` data.
Sorry for the noise, it's always when you think a change is trivial and
do not test it well enough that you end up doing those kind of
mistakes...
Add direct user feedback (as a warning report) to user when recursive
resync of overrides was needed.
And some timing (as CLOG logs) about main readfile process steps.
This is essentially adding a new BlendFileReadReport structure that wraps
BKE_reports list, and adds some extra info (some timing, some info about
overrides and (recursive) resync, etc.).
In addition to the base bone transformation itself, B-Bones have
controls that affect transformation of its segments. For rotation
the features are quite complete, allowing to both reorient the
Bezier handles via properties, and to control them using custom
handle bones. However for scaling there are two deficiencies.
First, there are only X and Y scale factors (actually X and Z),
while lengthwise all segments have the same scaling. The ease
option merely affects the shape of the curve, and does not cause
actual scaling.
Second, scaling can only be controlled via properties, thus
requiring up to 6 drivers per joint between B-Bones to transfer
scaling factors from the handle bone. This is very inefficient.
Finally, the Z channels are confusingly called Y.
This commit adds a B-Bone Y Scale channel and extra B-Bone flag
fields to DNA with appropriate versioning (including for F-Curves
and drivers) in preparation to addressing these limitations.
Functionality is not changed, so the new fields are not used
until the following commits.

Having a centeral place to find a list of all library overrides should be
useful for managing production scenes where library overrides are used a lot.
This change adds the individually overridden properties of a data-block under
the data-block itself. Just how we show modifiers, constraints or pose channels
there. This way we can also expose library override operations/options better
in future.
There's also a filter option for the library overrides now, so they can be
hidden. It is only available in the View Layer display mode though, like the
other filter options.
One internal change this has to do is adding more informative return values to
undo pushes and the library override functions called by it. That way we can
send a notifier when library overrides change for the Outliner to know when to
rebuild the tree.

This patch is the result of the GSoC 2020 "Editing Grease Pencil Strokes
Using Curves" project. It adds a submode to greasepencil edit mode that

"Camera Parent Lock" can be useful when rigging cameras, but it is not
intuitive, and has also generated a lot of confusion (bug reports).
This is because it breaks the fundamental parent <-> child relationship
conventions in Blender, and there is no indication that it's intended
without diving into the preferences.
This commit moves the setting to the object level, and exposes it in
the relations panel in the property editor. It is exposed for every
object type because any object type can be "View Locked" in the 3D view.
The property description is also updated to reflect this change and be
more specific without getting too long.
In the future this could become a more general feature of the transform
system, but for now it is limited to "Lock Camera to View".

BLO_version_defaults_userpref_blend -> blo_do_versions_userdef
The name was misleading as it was declared along with
BLO_update_defaults_startup_blend making it seem these functions were
related.
In fact preference defaults don't need to be updated as is done for
startup.blend since an in-memory blend file isn't used.
Rename the function to match other versioning functions
called from readfile.c. Also add/update comments on these differences.
Relying on pointer addresses across different data-blocks is extremely
not recommended (and should be strictly forbidden ideally), in
particular in direct_link step of blend file reading.
- It assumes a specific order in reading of data, which is not ensured
in future, and is in any case a very bad, non explicit, hidden
dependency on behaviors of other parts of the codebase.
- It is intrinsically unsafe (as in, it makes writing bad code and making
mistakes easy, see e.g. fix in rB84b3f6e049b35f9).
- It makes advanced handling of data-blocks harder (thinking about
partial undo code e.g., even though in this specific case it was not
an issue as we do not re-read neither windowmanagers nor worspaces
during undo).
New code uses windows' `winid` instead as 'anchor' to find again proper
workspace hook in windows at read time.
As a bonus, it will also cleanup the list of relations from any invalid
ones (afaict it was never done previously).

Object in the 2.7x file is on no layer at all, while this is not really
expected nor considered valid, better to cope with the case gracefully
than crash.
To be backported to 2.90 and 2.83.
There are some areas that don't handle pure emissive colors well. For
example erasing alpha using 2d or 3d painting. Or blurring an image in
the compositor.
This patch makes the rendering of pure emissive colors optional. In the
side panel of the Image editor it can still be enabled when needed.
There currently isn't a better place to store it as it is related on how
the image (or a layer of the image) is created. A future design needs to
make sure that the full workflow is supported.
This patch supports instantiating object data on append/link,
reported as a bug T58304.
This is an option, available when linking/appending,
similar to the existing "Instance Collections" option.
