For the most part, this just adds boilerplate code for volume support in geometry nodes:
* Add `VolumeComponent` next to `MeshComponent`, etc.
* Support `VolumeComponent` in depsgraph object iterator.
Furthermore, I added initial volume support in a few nodes:
* The Object Info node outputs an object instance when the input is a volume object
(that will be the same for mesh objects soonish, to avoid copies).
* Support transforming a `VolumeComponent` in the Transform node.
* Support the `VolumeComponent` in Join Geometry nodes, but only when just one of the
inputs has a volume component for now.
Right now, there is no way to create a `VolumeComponent`, because the Object Info node
outputs an object instance. The `VolumeComponent` will be necessary for upcoming nodes,
which will generate volumes on the fly.
Viewport selection does not work correctly with `VolumeComponent`s currently. I don't
know why that is. That can be figured out a bit later, once we can actually create
new volumes in geometry nodes.

This implements the design proposed in T83357.
The goal is to allow the geometry nodes modifier on mesh objects to
output instances and potentially other geometry types. Both problems
are tackled by allowing mesh objects to evaluate to a geometry set,
instead of just a single mesh id data block. The geometry set can
contain a mesh but also other data like instances and a point cloud.
I can't say that I'm sure that this commit won't introduce bugs. Mainly
the temporary object creation during rendering seems a bit brittle.
BUT, we can be reasonably sure that this commit will not introduce
regressions (at least not ones, that are hard to fix). This is because
the code has been written in a way that minimizes changes for existing
functionality.
Given that we intend to hide the point cloud object for the next release,
we won't even have to worry about temporary object creation for now.
An important part of the technical design is to make sure that
`ObjectRuntime->data_eval` contains the same data before and after this
patch. This helps to make sure, that existing code paths are impacted as
little as possible.
Instead of fully replacing `data_eval`, there is `geometry_set_eval`,
which contains all the geometry components an object evaluated to
(including the data referenced by `data_eval`).
For now, not much code has to be aware of `geometry_set_eval`. Mainly
the depsgraph object iterator and the instances system have to know
about it.

Objects can evaluate to a geometry set instead of a single ID (only point cloud
objects for now). In the depsgraph object iterator, the evaluated geometry
components are expanded into temporary objects.
It's important to note that instanced objects can also contain geometry
components. Therefore, they have to be split up into multiple objects
as well in some cases.
At a high level the iterator works like so:
```
for object in depsgraph:
for component in object:
yield object_from_component(component)
for dupli in make_duplis_list(object):
for component in dupli:
yield object_from_component(component)
```
DEG_iterator_objects_next has been cleaned up, to make this structure
a bit more apparent.
This should not change anything for objects that are not point clouds.
Selecting an object by clicking on its instances only worked,
when the object itself is visible. However, it is possible to hide
the object and still keep the instances visible.
The solution is to give every object the correct `select_id` in the
depsgraph object iterator right before rendering.

Surrounding includes with an 'extern "C"' block is not necessary anymore.
Also that made it harder to add any C++ code to some headers, or include headers
that have "optional" C++ code like `MEM_guardedalloc.h`.
I tested compilation on linux and windows (and got help from @LazyDodo).
If this still breaks compilation due to some linker error, the header containing
the symbol in question is probably missing an 'extern "C"' block.

This hides the original metaballs when they are used in
duplifaces/-verts instancing, and still shows the instanced metaballs.
The visibility of the original metaballs is now determined by the
visibility of the instancer. I'm not too thrilled about this, but at
least it gives users the ability to show/hide the metaballs for
viewport/render.

The files are now split up into the following sections:
- `BKE_anim_path.h` and `anim_path.c` for path/curve functions.
- `BKE_anim_visualization.h` and `anim_visualizationanim_path.c` for
animation visualization (mostly motion paths).
- `BKE_duplilist.h` for DupliList function declarations. These were
already implemented in `object_dupli.c`, so they were rather out of
place being declared in `BKE_anim.h` in the first place.
No functional changes.
Users now can turn on in a viewport collections that are temporarily
hidden (eye) in the view layer.
Design task: T61327
As for the implementation, I had to decouple the visibility in the
depsgraph from the visibility in the view layer.
Also there is a "bug" that in a way was there before which is some
operators (e.g., writing a text inside of a text object, tab into edit
mode) run regardless of the visibility of the active object. The bug was
present already (with object type visibility restriction) in 2.80 so if
we decide to tackle it, can be done separately (I have a patch for it
though P1132).

This also makes `IDP_CopyProperty` the "opposite"
of `IDP_FreeProperty`, which is what I'd expect.
Two refactoring steps:
* rename IDP_FreeProperty to IDP_FreePropertyContent
* new IDP_FreeProperty function that actually frees the property

It was a missing invert matrix update and also setting the OB_NEG_SCALE.
This defeats the purpose of not computing it in the draw manager but this
is more local and is have not a dramatic impact on performance.
When using multiple viewlayers and switching between them the selection
gets buggy. The reason for this is that the select_id is updated based
on the index in the viewlayer. This makes the select_id not unique as
objects might be shared or not shared at all.
This fix will update the select_id on all objects in main. This will be triggered in all the selection operators.

BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
Some summary of changes:
- Don't use DEG prefix for types and enumerator values:
the code is already inside DEG namespace.
- Put code where it locally belongs to: avoid having one
single header file with all sort of definitions in it.
- Take advantage of modern C++11 enabled by default.
Some features are incompatible with multithreading and reliable evaluation
of dependencies. We are now removing them as part of a bigger cleanup to
fix bugs in keyframing and invalid animation evaluations.
* Dupliframes have been removed. This was a hack added before there were
more powerful features like the array modifier.
* Slow parent has been removed, never worked in 2.8. It was always
unreliable for use in production due to depending on whatever frame was
previously evaluated, which was not always the previous frame.
* Particle instanced objects used to have their transform evaluated at
the particle time. Now it always gets the current time transform.
* Boids can no longer do predictive avoidance of force field objects,
but still for other particles.

Object visibility is now handled by the depsgraph iterator, but this API
was incomplete as it made no distinction for visibility of the object itself,
particles and generated instances.
The depsgraph iterator API now includes information about which part of the
object is visible, and this is used by Cycles to replace the old custom logic.
Cycles and EEVEE visibility should now be consistent, which unfortunately does
means some subtle compatibility breakage for both.

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).
The idea of those flags is to avoid evaluation of operations
which are not needed to bring visible objects to an up to date
state.
Previously, dependency graph attempted to do combine those
into an ID level flag. In practice it proved to be rather
tricky, since there could be dependency cycles on ID level
which will not exist on component level.
This introduces a new depsgraph API for getting updated datablocks,
rather than getting it from bpy.data.
* depsgraph.ids_updated gives a list of all datablocks in the depsgraph
which have been updated.
* depsgraph.id_type_updated('TYPE') is true if any datablock of the given
type has been added, removed or modified.
More API updates are coming to properly handle multiple depsgraphs and
finer update granularity, but this should make Cycles work again.
