With this commit, curve objects support the geometry nodes modifier.
Curves objects now evaluate to `CurveEval` unless there was a previous
implicit conversion (tessellating modifiers, mesh modifiers, or the
settings in the curve "Geometry" panel). In the new code, curves are
only considered to be the wire edges-- any generated surface is a mesh
instead, stored in the evaluated geometry set.
The consolidation of concepts mentioned above allows remove a lot of
code that had to do with maintaining the `DispList` type temporarily
for modifiers and rendering. Instead, render engines see a separate
object for the mesh from the mesh geometry component, and when the
curve object evaluates to a curve, the `CurveEval` is always used for
drawing wire edges.
However, currently the `DispList` type is still maintained and used as
an intermediate step in implicit mesh conversion. In the future, more
uses of it could be changed to use `CurveEval` and `Mesh` instead.
This is mostly not changed behavior, it is just a formalization of
existing logic after recent fixes for 2.8 versions last year and two
years ago. Also, in the future more functionality can be converted
to nodes, removing cases of implicit conversions. For more discussion
on that topic, see T89676.
The `use_fill_deform` option is removed. It has not worked properly
since 2.62, and the choice for filling a curve before or after
deformation will work much better and be clearer with a node system.
Applying the geometry nodes modifier to generate a curve is not
implemented with this commit, so applying the modifier won't work
at all. This is a separate technical challenge, and should be solved
in a separate step.

This patch allows dropping material assets from material slot under the mouse
cursor. Before this change the material slot had to be hand-picked from the
properties panel.
For consistency it is chosen to do this in any shading mode as the tooltip shows
what is exactly going to happen during release.
The feature also works for other object types than Meshes as it uses the drawn surface on the
GPU to detect the material slots. Performance of this patch has been tested with AMD GCN3.0
cards and are very responsive.

Previously, the Point Instance node in geometry nodes could only instance
existing objects or collections. The reason was that large parts of Blender
worked under the assumption that objects are the main unit of instancing.
Now we also want to instance geometry within an object, so a slightly larger
refactor was necessary.
This should not affect files that do not use the new kind of instances.
The main change is a redefinition of what "instanced data" is. Now, an
instances is a cow-object + object-data (the geometry). This can be nicely
seen in `struct DupliObject`. This allows the same object to generate
multiple geometries of different types which can be instanced individually.
A nice side effect of this refactor is that having multiple geometry components
is not a special case in the depsgraph object iterator anymore, because those
components are integrated with the `DupliObject` system.
Unfortunately, different systems that work with instances in Blender (e.g.
render engines and exporters) often work under the assumption that objects are
the main unit of instancing. So those have to be updated as well to be able to
handle the new instances. This patch updates Cycles, EEVEE and other viewport
engines. Exporters have not been updated yet. Some minimal (not master-ready)
changes to update the obj and alembic exporters can be found in P2336 and P2335.
Different file formats may want to handle these new instances in different ways.
For users, the only thing that changed is that the Point Instance node now
has a geometry mode.
This also fixes T88454.

Allow the UDIM grid to be shown and adjusted when there are images
loaded in UV edit mode. Right now the grid feature disappears once an
image is loaded and many have found this to be confusing.
Based on community and artist feedback, there was support to change this
behavior[1]
This patch does the following:
- Allows the grid to be shown even when images are present
- The max allowable dimensions for the grid has been increased from
10x10 to 10x100 to match the underlying maximum UDIM range that blender
supports
Note: This should not affect other Image editor modes like Paint/Mask or
the Render Result viewer etc. Future work in this area is currently
documented in a dedicated design task[2]

The idea is to only allocate pixel storage only when there is an actual
data to be written to them.
This moves the code forward a better support of high-res rendering when
pixel storage is not allocated until render engine is ready to provide
pixel data.
Is expected to be no functional changes for neither users no external
engines. The only difference is that the motion and depth passes will
be displayed as transparent for until render engine provides any tile
result (at which point the pixels will be allocated and initialized to
infinite depth).

`MeshBufferCache` is a struct representing a list of buffers.
As such, `GPUIndexBuf **tris_per_mat` is out of place as it does not
represent one of the buffers in the list.
In fact this member should be close to `GPUBatch **surface_per_mat` as
they are related.
The code for dependencies between buffer and batch had to be reworked
as it relies on the member's position.

selected pass
Caused by {rBebaa3fcedd23}.
Seems this above commit assumed an ImageUser's multi_index is only used
for Multiview/Stereo? This is not the case, multi_index also stores the
index for layer/pass combination.
If we call both BKE_image_multilayer_index and BKE_image_multiview_index
(even though this is not appropriate/needed for multilayer images?), we
might end up overwriting multi_index again.
note: looking at this I was also wondering why we update the ImageUser
in image-buffer-aquiring funnctions [and not from the UI, e.g.
template_image_layers, but that is a whole different story I guess, see
comment in T90772 as well]
note2: this could also use a utility function (this is not the only
place where this is done), this is fo a cleanup commit.

This was working differently in 2.79, tried tracking this down and it
seems this was wrong since the 2.8 beginning in {rB7907dfc40018}.
This would not only crash without an active scene camera, but would also
result in different tracks from different camera's constraints could not
be selected.
So select id depends on corresponding camera, remove the dependency on
scene camera completely.

Add Apply Constraint, Duplicate Constraint, and Copy To Selected
operators, and include them in a menu similar to the menu for modifiers.
The shortcuts in the extras menu are also matched to modifiers.
All the here added operators are intended to work exactly like the
analogous ones for modifiers. That means the apply operator should apply
a constraint as if it was first in the list, just like modifiers do. I
have added the same warning message as for modifiers when that happens.
The decision to use this approach of appling the constraint as if it was
first, was made for consistency with modifiers. People are already used
to how it works there. Is also provides more intricate control over the
applied transforms, then just applying all constraints up to that one.
Apply all constraints is already kinda implemented in Bake Animation.

rBfb87d236edb7 made the values returned by `projmat_dimensions` more
standardized following the documentations. But the functions in Blender
that called `projmat_dimensions` followed a proposal that these values
corresponded to a distance of 1m of clip.
Adjust these functions to follow the new algorithm.
In the draw module, it's not easy to identify what its header is, and
where the shared functions are.
So move `draw_cache_extract_mesh_extractors.c` and
`draw_cache_extract_mesh_private.h` to the same folder as the extractors
and rename these files to make them more identifiable.
