The shader value node always outputs zero in some cases even when its
value is not zero.
This is caused by b639e60864. In that
commit, the behavior of GPU node linking changed such that unlinked
sockets get their value from their associated GPU node stack instead of
the socket itself. But execution node stacks do not always have their
output values initialized, and since the value node stores its value in
its output, it follows that its uniform value will be wrong.
This patch fixes that by getting the value directly from the socket.
This is also done fro the RGBA node, since it is implemented similarly.
Finally, the GPU_uniformbuf_link_out function was removed since it is no
longer used and does not make sense anymore.

Also add an error message for when the node is used on non-curves
objects, since there's nothing in the UI to show why it doesn't work
except for that. And also use quotes when referring to attribute names.
This is a port of sculpt-dev's `SculptVertRef` refactor
(note that `SculptVertRef was renamed to PBVHVertRef`)
to master. `PBVHVertRef` is a structure that abstracts
the concept of a vertex in the sculpt code; it's simply
an `intptr_t` wrapped in a struct.
For `PBVH_FACES` and `PBVH_GRIDS` this struct stores a
vertex index, but for `BMesh` it stores a direct pointer
to a BMVert. The intptr_t is wrapped in a struct to prevent
the accidental usage of it as an index.
There are many reasons to do this:
* Right now `BMesh` verts are not logical sculpt verts;
to use the sculpt API they must first be converted to indices.
This requires a lot of indirect lookups into tables, leading to performance
loss. It has also led to greater code complexity and duplication.
* Having an abstract vertex type makes it feasible to have one unified
temporary attribute API for all three PBVH modes, which in turn
made it rather trivial to port sculpt brushes to DynTopo in
sculpt-dev (e.g. the layer brush, draw sharp, the smooth brushes,
the paint brushes, etc). This attribute API will be in a future patch.
* We need to do this anyway for the eventual move to C++.

There was already a utility to retrieve the correct node group idname
from the context, `node_group_idname`, but often it's clearer to
use lower-level arguments, or the context isn't accessible.
Storing the group idname in the tree type makes it accessible
without rewriting it elsewhere.
This name doesn't require understanding of fields, and
is phrased as an action which is consistent with other nodes.
Discussed in the latest geometry nodes sub-module meeting.
This adds three new nodes:
* `Shortest Edge Paths`: Actually finds the shortest paths.
* `Edge Paths to Curves`: Converts the paths to separate curves.
This may generate a quadratic amount of data, making it slow
for large meshes.
* `Edge Paths to Selection`: Generates an edge selection that
contains all edges that are part of a path. This can be used
with the Separate Geometry node to only keep the edges that
are part of a path. For large meshes, this approach can be
much faster than the `Edge Paths to Curves` node, because
less data is created.

It was never added for the field on domain and field at index nodes.
They need special handling because they have many what should be
a multi-type socket declaration.
Previously there was a special extraction process for "vertex colors"
that copied the color data to the GPU with a special format. Instead,
this patch replaces this with use of the generic attribute extraction.
This reduces the number of code paths, allowing easier optimization
in the future.
To make it possible to use the generic extraction system for attributes
but also assign aliases for use by shaders, some changes are necessary.
First, the GPU material attribute can now store whether it actually refers
to the default color attribute, rather than a specific name. This replaces
the hack to use `CD_MCOL` in the color attribute shader node. Second,
the extraction code checks the names against the default and active
names and assigns aliases if the request corresponds to a special active
attribute. Finally, support for byte color attributes was added to the
generic attribute extraction.

Changing the value doesn't accomplish anything, since the retrieved
value would be the same for every index then. So it's best to hide it
to make the node clearer.
`parallel_invoke` allows executing functions on separate threads.
However, creating tasks in tbb has a measurable amount of overhead.
Therefore, it can be benefitial to disable parallelization when
the amount of work done per function is small.
See D15539 for some benchmark results.

In a test producing 10 million vertices I observed a 3.6x improvement,
from 470ms to 130ms. The largest improvement comes from calculating
each mesh array on a separate thread. Besides that, the larger changes
come from splitting the filling of corner and face arrays, and
precalculating sines and cosines for each ring.
Using `parallel_invoke` does gives some overhead. On a small 32x16
input, the time went up from 51us to 74us. It could be disabled
for small outputs in the future. The reasoning for this parallelization
method instead of more standard data-size-based parallelism is that the
latter wouldn't be helpful except for very high resolution.
Since fd5e5dac89, the node would remove the attribute before
adding it again, which lost the vertex group status of an attribute,
meaning they were written as arbitrary attributes.
Now, the node first tries to write to attributes with the same domain
and data-type, which covers the vertex group case. Then it falls back
to removing the attribute and adding it again. Even that can fail
though, so I added an error message to make that a bit clearer.

Use the newer more generic sampling and interpolation functions
developed recently (ab444a80a2) instead of the `CurveEval` type.
Functions are split up a bit more internally, to allow a separate mode
for supplying the curve index directly in the future (T92474).
In one basic test, the performance seems mostly unchanged from 3.1.

Previously, curves sculpt tools only worked on original data. This was
very limiting, because one could effectively only sculpt the curves when
all procedural effects were turned off. This patch adds support for curves
sculpting while looking the result of procedural effects (like deformation
based on the surface mesh). This functionality is also known as "crazy space"
support in Blender.

All callers passed `false` for this parameter, making it more confusing

This commit ports the fillet curves node to the new curves data-block,
and moves the fillet node implementation to the geometry module to help
separate the implementation from the node.
The changes are similar to the subdivide node or resample node. I've
resused common utilities where it makes sense, though some things like
the iteration over attributes can be generalized further. The node
is now multi-threaded per-curve and inside each curve, and some buffers
are reused per curve to avoid many allocations.
The code is more explicit now, and though there is more boilerplate to
pass around many spans, the more complex logic should be more readable.

Previously, things like materials, symmetry, and selection options
stored on `Curves` weren't copied to the result in nodes like the
subdivide and resample nodes. Now they are, which fixes some
unexpected behavior and allows visualization of the sculpt mode
selection.
In the realize instances and join nodes the behavior is the same as
for meshes, the parameters are taken from the first (top) input.
I also refactored some functions to return a `CurvesGeometry` by-value,
which makes it the responsibility of the node to copy the parameters.
That should make the algorithms more reusable in other situations.
