Skip writing binding data and similar for override modifiers already
present in reference linked data, as this can use a lot of space, and
is fully useless data typically since we already skip writing Mesh
geometry data itself.
Ref. T97967.
This changes is needed to give more control to modifiers' writing
callback when defined. It will allow to implement better culling of
needless data when writing e.g. modifiers from library overrides.

A studio request actually.
The goal is to cover rather typical situation: when the mesh was
bound to target when the target was on subdivision level 0 but
uses a higher subdivision level for rendering. Example of such
setup is a facial hair bound to the face.
The idea of this change is to use first N vertices from the target
where N is the number of vertices on target during binding process.
While this sounds a bit arbitrary it covers typical modifier setup
used for rigging. Arguably, it is not more arbitrary than using a
number of polygons (which is how the modifier was checking for
changes on target before this change).
Quite straightforward change. A bit tricky part was to not break
the behavior since before this change we did not track number of
vertices sued when binding. The naming I'm also not super happy
with and just followed the existing one. Ideally the variables in
DNA will be prefixed with `target_` but doing it for an existing
field would mean compatibility change, and only using prefix for
the new field will introduce weird semantic where the polygons
count will be even more easily confused with a count on the
deforming mesh.

Make it explicit that counter is about target mesh.
Use DNA rename for it so that the files stay compatible.
Also renamed some purely runtime fields to replace `t`
prefix with `target` as the short `t` is super easy
to miss.

have to be added manually anymore.

The issue was happening with a specific file where the ID management
code was not fully copying all modifiers because of the extra check
in the `BKE_object_support_modifier_type_check()`.
While it is arguable that copy-on-write should be a 1:1 copy there is
no real need to maintain the per-modifier pointer to its original.
Use its SessionUUID to perform lookup in the original datablock.
Downside of this approach is that it is a linear lookup instead of
direct pointer access, but the upside is that there is less pointers
to manage and that the file with unsupported modifiers does behave
correct without any asserts.

This is similar to e032ca2e25 which removed the
callback for volumes. Now that we have geometry sets, there is
no need to define a callback for every data type, and this wasn't
used. Procedural curves/hair editing will use nodes rather than new
modifier types anyway.
When a vertex group is used to limit the influence of the modifier
to a subset of vertices, binding data for vertices with zero weight
is not needed. This wastes memory, disk space and CPU cycles.
If the vertex group contents is known to be final and constant,
it is reasonable to optimize by only storing data group vertices.
This has to be an option in case the group can change.
Supporting this requires adding a vertex index field and spliting
the vertex count into mesh and bind variants, but both happen to
fit in available padding. The old numverts field is renamed to the
new bound vertex count field to maintain the array length invariant.
Versioning is used to initialize the other new fields.
If a file with sparse binding is opened in an old blender version,
it is corrupted into a non-sparse bind with vertex count mismatch,
preventing the modifier from working until rebind.

This allows us to remove a callback from the modifier type info struct.
In the future the these modifiers might just be replaced by nodes
internally anyway, but in the meantime it's nice to unify the handling

There are two issues here. First, like in T81988 there are cases
where the modifier would deform some vertices immediately after
bind. This is caused by wrong assumptions in the code about the
possible relative angles between various vectors, which can cause
negative weights that don't blend correctly to appear.
Specifically, it seems originally the code assumes that the
centroid-point vector in the polygon plane lies somewhere
between the mid-edge vectors. This is however not necessarily
the case for distant vertices, because the polygon is not
guaranteed to be truly planar, so normal projection may be
a bit off. The code has to use signed angles and checks to
support all possible angular arrangements.
The second issue is very thin and long triangles, which tend
to be very spatially unstable in their thin dimension, resulting
in excess deformation. The code was weighting distance using
the distances between the centroid and the mid-edge points, which
in this case end up as nearly opposite vectors of sizable length
and don't correctly represent how thin the triangle actually is.
It is thus better to use centroid-to-line distances, and an
additional even stricter value for the midpoint that will use
only 3 vertices at evaluation time.

Since the initial merge of the geometry nodes project, the modifyPointCloud
function already was already modifying a geometry set. The function wasn't
renamed back then, because then the merge would have touched many
more files.
Ref T83357.
Surface deform weight calculation assigned weights in a non-uniform
way that caused vertices to deform upon binding.
This was caused by the face-corner angle being used in
calculations which where squared & scaled.
Causing a triangle fan of many thin faces to have a much greater
influence compared to the same shape made from a single triangle.
Change the calculation of the weight so each face-corner is scaled
by it's angle.
This removes `foreachObjectLink` from `ModifierTypeInfo`, `GpencilModifierTypeInfo`
and `ShaderFxTypeInfo`. There is no need to have both, `foreachObjectLink` and `foreachIDLink`.
There is not code that actually depends on `foreachObjectLink`.

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

For modifier shortcuts we added a "custom_data" field to panels.
This commit uses the same system for accessing the list data that
corresponds to each panel. This way the context is only used once
and the modifier for each panel can be accessed more easily later.
This ends up being mostly a cleanup commit with a few small changes
in interface_panel.c. The large changes in the UI functions are due
to the fact that the panel custom data is now passed around as a
single pointer instead of being created again for every panel.
The list_index variable in Panel.runtime is removed as it's now
unnecessary.

This is part of a greater blenloader decentralization effort (T76372).
For modifiers the goal is that fewer files have to be modified when
a new modifier is added.
This patch just adds the `blendWrite` and `blendRead` callbacks to
`ModifierTypeInfo` but does not change any other code yet. In the next
steps, modifier specific code will be moved from `writefile.c` and
`readfile.c` into their corresponding `MOD_*` files.
This patch implements the list panel system D7490 for modifiers.
It also moves modifier drawing to a callback in ModifierTypeInfo
in line with the extensible architecture refactoring goal T75724.
This adds a PanelRegister callback and utilities for registering
panels and subpanels. It also adds the callbacks for expansion saving
and drag and drop reordering described in D7490.
These utilities, callbacks, and other common UI elements shared
between modifiers live in MOD_ui_common.c.
Because modifier buttons are now in panels, we can make use of
subpanels for organization. The UI layouts also use the single
column layout style consistently used elsewhere in Blender.
Additionally, the mode-setting buttons are aligned and ordered
consistently with the outliner.
However, the large number of UI changes in this patch may mean
that additional polishing is required in master.
Thanks to William Reynish (@billreynish) who did a fair amount of the
layout work and to Julian Eisel (@Severin) for consistent help.

This commit aims to add functionality to the surface deform modifier that
gives more control and allows it to work better with the modifier stack.
* Maintains compatibility with older files. The default settings keep it
so that the whole object is bound and vertex coordinates get overwritten
as the modifier currently does.
* Turns the deformations from an absolute vertex coordinate overwrite into
an additive offset from the vertex location before the modifier to the
resulting bound deformation. This gives the ability to control the
strength of the deformation and mix the deformation of the modifier
with the modifier stack that comes before it.
* Also adds in a vertex group with the invert option. This is applied after
the bind deformation is added. So the whole object is still bound to target,
and the vertex group filters afterwards what parts get affected.
I experimented with a version to only binds the geometry weighted to the
vertex group, but that would break compatibility with old files.
I may bring it in later as a separate option/mode for the surface deform.
With several fixes from @mont29.
