This refactor is in response to reports in which the adaptive domain with noise caused a crash (e.g. T79009). It should also fix issues where the smoke appeared to be cut off when using the adaptive domain together with noise. It is also possible that some of these changes improve the lines issue from T74559.
Changed variable names from mmd, mds, mfs, and mes to fmd, fds, ffs, and fes. The author of this commits lights a candle for all the merge conflicts this will cause.
Added an offset field to control when to load the simulation files. Since this is a very small but helpful addition it is in my view safe to commit at this point of the bcon cycle.
This commit makes uses of the new OpenVDB IO in Mantaflow (introduced in 781f783a66ac).
From now on, fluid cache files in OpenVDB format will contain a list of grids per frame (before: one .vdb file per grid per frame). Besides regular grids, particle systems are also stored using OpenVDBs PointGrid data structures.
All older cache formats will remain fully functional:
- Uni caches (.uni) files are still available from the UI and can be used as before
- Raw caches (.raw) are no longer available from the UI, but loading them is still possible
- Old OpenVDB caches (one .vdb per grid) can no longer be baked either, but loading them is still possible.
It is also no longer possible to choose file formats for 'Noise' and 'Particles'. Instead there are now options to set the file format for 'Volumetric' and for 'Mesh' data.
Known issues (planned to be resolved soon):
- OpenVDB files are currently not taking into consideration the clipping value (FluidDomainSettings). Empty cells are therefore being written too. Depending on the scene, this can make file sizes unnecessarily large.
- Domains are not being exported at their world position. Instead they are always clipped to the origin.
Currently all force effectors can only act on cloth when the force is
perpendicular to the surface. This makes sense for wind, but not for
other forces; and the user may want even wind to have some friction.
This changes effector code to output two force vectors - although
you of course can pass the same pointer for both. The force is split
between the two outputs based on a new per-effector setting.

This is a regression introduced in rBa0fe22095e6d9b8b194c2cf6f9a7c7b419d7e61c.
I changed it so that the velocity with the highest magnitude is considered and
not the highest value per coordinate.

Using MAX2 when writing intial velocities into the grid prevents overriding initial velocities when using multiple flow objects that are close to each other.
When using the 'Replay' cache mode the cache needs to be invalidated whenever simulation variables have been changed.
The invalidation will always only affect the according subcaches, e.g. when changing a mesh paramter only the mesh cache will be invalidated, the base cache will remain intact.
Before this change Blender always invalidated the entire cache.
- Change the default cache method to replay
- Change the default resolution to 32 (The same as old smoke)
which have a speedup of about 4x (~4 FPS vs. ~16 FPS on initial
playback)
Peformance was tested with 3700x and RTX 2070

Fixes T73799
Issue was that the noise simulation was trying to bake with a minimized domain size (adaptive domain initializes domain with size (1,1,1)). Similarly to the base resolution bake, there should be no noise baking happening at those domain sizes - a domain at this size is considered empty.
Required for collisions with moving rigid bodies. Otherwise the static optimization mode will be kept and the obstacles would be calculated only once at the beginning.
This is not dependent on having an armature as mentioned in T75111.
The collider simply has to be animated.

Fixes an issue with secondary particles being out of sync with the main simulation. Cleaned up the secondary particle code in general too (making sure that all solver attributes - timestep, framelength, etc. - are set correctly).
