Only the "changed" state from the last edit-object was used,
this meant the operator would not perform the necessary update
with multi-object edit-mode.
Use "changed" & "changed_multi" naming convention.
Setting normals from faces wasn't weighting the faces contribution
by the corner angle, giving lop-sided results in some cases.
This removes the epsilon check for CLNORS_VALID_VEC_LEN,
in favor of matching the behavior of vertex normals exactly.
This commit moves the storage of `bDeformGroup` and the active index
to `Mesh`, `Lattice`, and `bGPdata` instead of `Object`. Utility
functions are added to allow easy access to the vertex groups given
an object or an ID.
As explained in T88951, the list of vertex group names is currently
stored separately per object, even though vertex group data is stored
on the geometry. This tends to complicate code and cause bugs,
especially as geometry is created procedurally and tied less closely
to an object.
The "Copy Vertex Groups to Linked" operator is removed, since they
are stored on the geometry anyway.
This patch leaves the object-level python API for vertex groups in
place. Creating a geometry-level RNA API can be a separate step;
the changes in this commit are invasive enough as it is.
Note that opening a file saved in 3.0 in an earlier version means
the vertex groups will not be available.

Using BMesh operators through the edit-mesh API created a full copy
of the mesh so it was possible to restore the mesh in case
one of the operators raised an error.
Remove support for automatic backup/restore from the EDBM_op_* API's
as it adds significant overhead and was rarely used.
Operators that need this can use the BMBackup API to backup & restore
the mesh in case of failure.
Add warning levels to BMO_error_raise so operators can report problems
without it being interpreted as a request to cancel the operation.
For high-poly meshes creating and freeing a full copy is an expensive
operation, removing this gives a speedup of ~1.77x for most operators
except for "connect_verts" / "connect_vert_pair"
which still uses this functionality.
Avoid computationally expensive copying operations
when only some settings have been modified.
This is done by adding support for updating parameters
without tagging for copy-on-write.
Currently only mesh data blocks are supported,
other data-blocks can be added individually.
This prepares for changing values such as edit-mesh auto-smooth angle
in edit-mode without duplicating all mesh-data.
The benefit will only be seen when the user interface no longer tags
all ID's for copy on write updates.
ID_RECALC_GEOMETRY_ALL_MODES has been added to support situations
where non edit-mode geometry is modified in edit-mode.
While this isn't something user are likely to do,
Python scripts may change the underlying mesh.

Rename function EDBM_update_generic to EDBM_update, use a parameters
argument for better readability.
Also add calc_normals argument, which will have benefits when
calculating normals and tessellation together is optimized.
Warnings in tooltips were using inconsistent formatting, some in
parantheses, some not, some in caps, others not, some on new lines,
some not, etc.
This patch uses a consistent new line and no capitals for these cases.

This adds the LineArt grease pencil modifier.
It takes objects or collections as input and generates various grease
pencil lines from these objects with the help of the active scene
camera. For example it can generate contour lines, intersection lines
and crease lines to name a few.
This is really useful as artists can then use 3D meshes to automatically
generate grease pencil lines for characters, enviroments or other
visualization purposes.
These lines can then be baked and edited as regular grease pencil lines.

In vertex selection mode, the "At First" and "At Last" options are
contextually added to the beginning of the list of merge operations.
This means the automatic shortcuts in the merge menu are different,
making learning the shortcuts much more difficult than necessary.
This patch reorders the items so that "At First" and "At Last" are
added after the first three options so the shortcuts are always
consistent.

This was reported for the Triangulate geometry node, but was also true
for the triangulate modifier and in exporters.
Note the modifier was introduced with "Ngon Method" in rBa7b44c82e5b9 but
was renamed to "Polygon Method" in rBf4762eb12ba5.
Since quads are also polygons (and quads have their own method), the
term "N-gon" is more appropriate here and is also described in the
glossary https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/2.92/glossary/
index.html#term-N-gon
Docs have been updated in rBM7539 (partially - the method would also
have to be renamed once this patch lands).
Note this also fixes the wrong enum used for the alembic exporter.

Approximately 138 changes in the spelling of compound words
and proper names like "Light Probe", "Shrink/Fatten", "Face Map".
In many cases, hyphens were used where they aren't correct, like
"re-fit". Other common changes include:
- "Datablock" -> "data-block"
- "Floating point" -> "floating-point"
- "Ngons" -> "n-gons"
These changes help give the language used in the interface
a consistent, more professional feel.
