This commit adds a new model to the Sky Texture node, which is based on a
method by Nishita et al. and works by basically simulating volumetric
scattering in the atmosphere.
By making some approximations (such as only considering single scattering),
we get a fairly simple and fast simulation code that takes into account
Rayleigh and Mie scattering as well as Ozone absorption.
This code is used to precompute a 512x128 texture which is then looked up
during render time, and is fast enough to allow real-time tweaking in the
viewport.
Due to the nature of the simulation, it exposes several parameters that
allow for lots of flexibility in choosing the look and matching real-world
conditions (such as Air/Dust/Ozone density and altitude).
Additionally, the same volumetric approach can be used to compute absorption
of the direct sunlight, so the model also supports adding direct sunlight.
This makes it significantly easier to set up Sun+Sky illumination where
the direction, intensity and color of the sun actually matches the sky.
In order to support properly sampling the direct sun component, the commit
also adds logic for sampling a specific area to the kernel light sampling
code. This is combined with portal and background map sampling using MIS.
This sampling logic works for the common case of having one Sky texture
going into the Background shader, but if a custom input to the Vector
node is used or if there are multiple Sky textures, it falls back to using
only background map sampling (while automatically setting the resolution to
4096x2048 if auto resolution is used).

This patch fixes T76277 by removing the incorrect cast from
`ptr->data` to `bNode`. The address of `ptr->owner_id` and
`ptr->data` both point to the node tree. Passing the node tree
incorrectly as a node into the `ED_node_tag_update_nodetree`
corrupts the data, because it attempts to set flags on the
node.

Those new socket types will be necessary for particle nodes.
The main difficulty with adding these socket types is that they
are the first that reference ID data in their `value`.

This implements a new builtin node tree type called `SimulationNodeTree`.
It is not yet embedded in the `Simulation` data block.
The node tree will initially be used for the new particle nodes system.
When the cmake option `WITH_NEW_SIMULATION_TYPE` is enabled, a new
`Simulation Editor` is shown in the editors menu (which is just a node editor).
This patch does not add entries to the Add Node menu, so it is empty.

Currently the link limit of sockets is stored in bNodeSocket->limit.
This allows for a lot of flexibility, but is also very redundant.
In every case I've had to deal with so far, it would have "more correct"
to set the link limit per socket type and not per socket. I did not enforce
this constraint yet, because the link limit is exposed in the Python API,
which I did not want to break here.
In the future it might even make sense to only support only three kinds of link limits:
a) no links, b) at most one link, c) an arbitrary number links links. The other link
limits usually don't work well with tools (e.g. which link should be removed when a new
one is connected?) and is not used in practice. However, that is for another day.
Eventually, I would like to get rid of bNodeSocket->limit completely and replace it
either with fixed link limits or a callback in bNodeSocketType.
This patch consists of three parts:
**1. Support defining link limit in socket type**
This introduces a new `nodeSocketLinkLimit` function that serves as an indirection to
hide where the link limit of a socket is defined.
**2. Define link limits for builtin sockets on socket type**
Data sockets: one input, many outputs
Virtual sockets: one input, one output
Undefined sockets: many inputs, many outputs (to avoid that links are removed when the type of the socket is not known)
**3. Remove `bNodeSocketTemplate->limit`**
This wasn't used anymore after the second commit. Removing it simplifies socket definitions
in hundreds of places and removes a lot of redundancy.

Custom render passes are added in the Shader AOVs panel in the view layer
settings, with a name and data type. In shader nodes, an AOV Output node
is then used to output either a value or color to the pass.
Arbitrary names can be used for these passes, as long as they don't conflict
with built-in passes that are enabled. The AOV Output node can be used in both
material and world shader nodes.
Implemented by Lukas, with tweaks by Brecht.

When creating shaders and using maths functions it is expected that Blender should match functions in other DCC applications, game engines and shading languages such as GLSL and OSL.
This patch adds missing functions to the Blender maths node.
Ideally, it would be nice to have these functions available to vectors too but that is not part of this patch.
This patch adds the following functions trunc, snap, wrap, compare, pingpong, sign, radians, degrees, cosh, sinh, tanh, exp, smoothmin and inversesqrt.
Sign function is based on GLSL and OSL functions and returns zero when x == 0.

This patch allows the Voronoi node to operate in 1D, 2D, and 4D space.
It also adds a Randomness input to control the randomness of the texture.
Additionally, it adds three new modes of operation:
- Smooth F1: A smooth version of F1 Voronoi with no discontinuities.
- Distance To Edge: Returns the distance to the edges of the cells.
- N-Sphere Radius: Returns the radius of the n-sphere inscribed in
the cells. In other words, it is half the distance between the
closest feature point and the feature point closest to it.
And it removes the following three modes of operation:
- F3.
- F4.
- Cracks.
The Distance metric is now called Euclidean, and it computes the actual
euclidean distance as opposed to the old method of computing the squared
euclidean distance.
This breaks backward compatibility in many ways, including the base case.

The old layout of `PointerRNA` was confusing for historic reasons:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct {
void *data;
} id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;

This patch updates it to:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct ID *owner_id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;

Throughout the code base `id.data` was replaced with `owner_id`.
Furthermore, many explicit pointer type casts were added which
were implicit before. Some type casts to `ID *` were removed.

Previously there was already "draw_shape" property,

property to "display_shape". Furthermore, different
shapes like SQUARE and DIAMOND are supported now.
Currently, the shapes are drawn using the shader that also
draws keyframes. In the future we might want to separate
this.
The new shapes are not used anywhere yet, but they can
be used by addon developers and will probably be useful
when we want to support different kinds node systems later.
For example, different shapes can be used to distinguish
between data and control flow.
