Brecht Van Lommel 128eb6cbe9 Modifiers: export motion blur velocity through attribute ...

Previously fluid simulation and Alembic modifiers had a dedicated function
to query the velocity for motion blur. Now use a more generic system where
those modifiers output a velocity attribute.

Advantages:
* Geometry and particle nodes can output velocity through the same mechanism,
  or read the attribute coming from earlier modifiers.
* The velocity can be preserved through modifiers like subdivision surface or
  auto smooth.
* USD and Alembic previously only output velocity from fluid simulation, now
  they work with velocity from other sources too.
* Simplifies the code for renderers like Cycles and exporters like
  Alembic and USD.

This breaks compatibility:
* External renderers and exporters accessing these velocities through the
  Python API now need to use the attribute instead.
* Existing modifier node setups that create an attribute named "velocity"
  will render differently with motion blur.
