Add function `SEQ_time_content_end_frame_get` to get content end frame.
New function is shorthand for

Two new normal-based automasking modes.
The first mode, "brush", compares vertex normals with the initial
normal at the beginning of the brush stroke.
The second, "view", compares vertex normals with the view normal.
If "occlusion" is on then rays will be shot from each vertex to test
if it is occluded by other geometry (note: this can be very slow).\
Only geometry inside the sculpt mesh is considered.
Each mode has an associated angular limit and a falloff.

Typo in rBa8a454287a27 (created layer on edge data instead of vertex
data).

Changes:
- Use the "snap_elements" property only for operators that support snapping to geometry.
- Remove unused properties:
- "use_snap_to_same_target",
- "snap_face_nearest_steps").
- Fix property with wrong name "use_snap_selectable_only" -> "use_snap_selectable"
- Fix use of dependent property flags.
- Remove redundant initialization of variables
- Simplify `poll_propety`. Only the "use_snap_project" is not hidden.
>>! In rBc484599687ba it's said:
> These options are needed for Python tools to control snapping without requiring the tool settings to be adjusted.
If that's the case, there doesn't seem to be any need to display them in the redo panel. Therefore:
- Hide snapping properties in redo panel.
Many properties have been added that can be independent of ToolSettings. Therefore:
- Save snapping properties in the operator itself. For Redo.
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.

When a change happens which invalidates view layers the syncing will be postponed until the first usage.
This will improve importing or adding many objects in a single operation/script.
`BKE_view_layer_need_resync_tag` is used to tag the view layer to be out of sync. Before accessing
`BKE_view_layer_active_base_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_object_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_collection`
or `BKE_view_layer_object_bases` the caller should call `BKE_view_layer_synced_ensure`.
Having two functions ensures that partial syncing could be added as smaller patches in the future. Tagging a
view layer out of sync could be replaced with a partial sync. Eventually the number of full resyncs could be
reduced. After all tagging has been replaced with partial syncs the ensure_sync could be phased out.
This patch has been added to discuss the details and consequences of the current approach. For clarity
the call to BKE_view_layer_ensure_sync is placed close to the getters.
In the future this could be placed in more strategical places to reduce the number of calls or improve
performance. Finding those strategical places isn't that clear. When multiple operations are grouped
in a single script you might want to always check for resync.
Some areas found that can be improved. This list isn't complete.
These areas aren't addressed by this patch as these changes would be hard to detect to the reviewer.
The idea is to add changes to these areas as a separate patch. It might be that the initial commit would reduce
performance compared to master, but will be fixed by the additional patches.
**Object duplication**
During object duplication the syncing is temporarily disabled. With this patch this isn't useful as when disabled
the view_layer is accessed to locate bases. This can be improved by first locating the source bases, then duplicate
and sync and locate the new bases. Will be solved in a separate patch for clarity reasons ({D15886}).
**Object add**
`BKE_object_add` not only adds a new object, but also selects and activates the new base. This requires the
view_layer to be resynced. Some callers reverse the selection and activation (See `get_new_constraint_target`).
We should make the selection and activation optional. This would make it possible to add multiple objects
without having to resync per object.
**Postpone Activate Base**
Setting the basact is done in many locations. They follow a rule as after an action find the base and set
the basact. Finding the base could require a resync. The idea is to store in the view_layer the object which
base will be set in the basact during the next sync, reducing the times resyncing needs to happen.

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.

Use `verts` instead of `vertices` and `polys` instead of `polygons`
in the API added in 05952aa94d. This aligns better with
existing naming where the shorter names are much more common.
The only difference between `GPU_SHADER_2D_LINE_DASHED_UNIFORM_COLOR`
and `GPU_SHADER_3D_LINE_DASHED_UNIFORM_COLOR` is that in the vertex
shader the 2D version uses `vec4(pos, 0.0, 1.0)` and the 3D version
uses `vec4(pos, 1.0)`.
But VBOs with 2D attributes work perfectly in shaders that use 3D
attributes. Components not specified are filled with components from
`vec4(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)`.
So there is no real benefit to having two different shader versions.

In python the new name for '2D_UNIFORM_COLOR'' and '3D_UNIFORM_COLOR'
is 'UNIFORM_COLOR', but the old names still work for backward
compatibility.

For copy-on-write, we want to share attribute arrays between meshes
where possible. Mutable pointers like `Mesh.mvert` make that difficult
by making ownership vague. They also make code more complex by adding
redundancy.
The simplest solution is just removing them and retrieving layers from
`CustomData` as needed. Similar changes have already been applied to
curves and point clouds (e9f82d3dc7, 410a6efb74). Removing use of
the pointers generally makes code more obvious and more reusable.
Mesh data is now accessed with a C++ API (`Mesh::edges()` or
`Mesh::edges_for_write()`), and a C API (`BKE_mesh_edges(mesh)`).
The CoW changes this commit makes possible are described in T95845
and T95842, and started in D14139 and D14140. The change also simplifies
the ongoing mesh struct-of-array refactors from T95965.
**RNA/Python Access Performance**
Theoretically, accessing mesh elements with the RNA API may become
slower, since the layer needs to be found on every random access.
However, overhead is already high enough that this doesn't make a
noticible differenc, and performance is actually improved in some
cases. Random access can be up to 10% faster, but other situations
might be a bit slower. Generally using `foreach_get/set` are the best
way to improve performance. See the differential revision for more
discussion about Python performance.
Cycles has been updated to use raw pointers and the internal Blender
mesh types, mostly because there is no sense in having this overhead
when it's already compiled with Blender. In my tests this roughly
halves the Cycles mesh creation time (0.19s to 0.10s for a 1 million
face grid).

With rBe6a557952ead, concerns were reported about missing updates when
the view is moved other than through the Edge Pan system.
Although the transform operator blocks navigation in general, it is
good to avoid these cases.
The view offset, calculated by the Edge Pan system, only affects the
position of the nodes, but forget to update:
- snapping data
- final value of transform
- values used for custom drawing
Therefore, to avoid having to update a lot of scattered data, the
`transformViewUpdate` utility has been implemented to recalculate input
values when the view changes.
This utility does more than is necessary to fix the bug, but with that,
it can work in any situation.
