The `bisect_distance` in the mirror modifier was hard-coded to `0.001`.
This would result in some unexpected behavior like vertices close
to the mirror plane being deleted or merged.
The fix now adds a parameter to the mirror modifier to expose the
bisect distance to the user. The default is set to the previous
hard-coded value to not "change" previous files.

This resulted in bad motion blur from alembic animation when imported
after rB83980506957c (because it was now OFF by default).
When imported in a version prior to rB83980506957c and saved, this was
still working fine.
Vertex interpolation option introduced in rBbab2260b59c7 was defaulting
to ON (correct) in that commit, but was lost in rB83980506957c.
Now switch this to ON by default again.
Note: if you have a file that was (incorrectly) imported with a version
after rB83980506957c you'll have to enable Vertex Interpolation option
on every MeshSequenceCache modifier by hand.

The default one is now UVs are smoothed, boundaries are kept sharp.
After some time of experimentation seems this is better default from
interoperability point of view.
This fixes distortion reported in T83470.

This right click select post outlines the reasons to make "Angle" the
default limit method: https://blender.community/c/rightclickselect/BVfbbc/
In short: Beveling every single edge rather than just sharp edges is
rarely the desired behavior, and the placement of the property in the UI
makes it easy to see the property's importance and toggle it.

This can be useful as a workaround on the boundary with the pinned
vertices in some situations among other things, and completely copies
the existing design of the self collision vertex group setting.

Caused by Caused by rB83980506957c.
Since above commit, the modifier was created with wrong initial values
[amount was 0.0 and offset was 1.0 -- instead of the other way around].
Since there is no way to fix existing files in a reasonable way I guess,
all we can do here is to make sure that from now on, the defaults are
correct.

Implement improvement from T73139 for merging along edges.
It is now called "Connected" mode, while the default is called "All".
With the recent performance improvement, the Connected Mode is in some
cases only double the speed than the usual merge all strategy but in
other cases it may be even faster. The bottleneck is somewhere further
down the line of merging geometry.
The motivation for this patch came from T80897, because the merging in
complex solidify is making it very slow.
Now merging can be removed from solidify without greater consequences,
as this is just a quicker and more advanced algorithm to do the same
thing that solidify currently does slowly.

This is the initial merge from the geometry-nodes branch.
Nodes:
* Attribute Math
* Boolean
* Edge Split
* Float Compare
* Object Info
* Point Distribute
* Point Instance
* Random Attribute
* Random Float
* Subdivision Surface
* Transform
* Triangulate
It includes the initial evaluation of geometry node groups in the Geometry Nodes modifier.
Notes on the Generic attribute access API
The API adds an indirection for attribute access. That has the following benefits:
* Most code does not have to care about how an attribute is stored internally.
This is mainly necessary, because we have to deal with "legacy" attributes
such as vertex weights and attributes that are embedded into other structs
such as vertex positions.
* When reading from an attribute, we generally don't care what domain the
attribute is stored on. So we want to abstract away the interpolation that
that adapts attributes from one domain to another domain (this is not
actually implemented yet).
Other possible improvements for later iterations include:
* Actually implement interpolation between domains.
* Don't use inheritance for the different attribute types. A single class for read
access and one for write access might be enough, because we know all the ways
in which attributes are stored internally. We don't want more different internal
structures in the future. On the contrary, ideally we can consolidate the different
storage formats in the future to reduce the need for this indirection.
* Remove the need for heap allocations when creating attribute accessors.

* Dalai Felinto
* Hans Goudey
* Jacques Lucke

The simple subdivision as a type only causes issues like no-continuous
normals across edges, inability to reliably switch the type and things
like this.
The new subdivision operators supports wider variety of how to add
details to the model, which are more powerful than a single one-time
decision on the subdivision type.
The versioning code is adjusting topology converter to specify all
edges as infinitely sharp. The reason for this (instead of using
settings.is_simple) is because in a longer term the simple subdivision
will be removed from Subsurf modifier as well, and will be replaced
with more efficient bmesh-based modifier.
This is finished up version of D8436.

The design for how we approach the "Everything Nodes" project
has changed. We will focus on a different part of the project initially.
While future me will likely refer back to some of the code I remove here,
there is no point in keeping this code around in master currently.
It would just confuse other developers working on the project.
This does not remove the simulation modifier and data block. Those are
just cleaned up, so that the boilerplate code can be reused in the future.
Seems to be an oversight/typo in rB83980506957c.
Now set back to 0.01m (as it was before).

Followup for rB8398050695
This requires moving a few enum definitions to DNA instead of BKE, and
adding default definitions for the two structs the cloth modifier where
the cloth modifier stores its settings. The defaults are also reordered
to be consistent with the order of each item in the struct.
As noted in T80164, there are quite a few area of Blender where the
"Reset to Default Value" operator in button context menus doesn't work.
Modifiers are one of them, because the DNA defaults system was never
set up for them.
Additionally, this should make modifier versioning easier. Whenever a
new field is added it should be automatically initialized to the
default value.
I had to make some ordering changes in the following modifiers to work
around an error with `-Wsign-conversion` in the macros:
- Solidify Modifier
- Corrective Smooth Modifier
- Screw Modifier
Some modifiers are special cases and are skipped in this commit:
- Data Transfer Modifier
- Cloth Modifier
- Fluid Modifier
- Softbody Modifier
