Python 3.14 has moved some functionality into the public API,
use the updated names even with older Python versions.
Also resolve an error caused by variable reuse with delayed annotation
evaluation for TextureProperties_MixIn on startup.
Resolve#140695.
Replace plain-text type information with the type syntax used
for Python's type annotations as it's more concise, especially for
callbacks which often didn't include useful type information.
Note that this change only applies to inline doc-strings,
generated doc-strings from RNA need to be updated separately.
Details:
- Many minor corrections were made when "list" was incorrectly used
instead of "sequence".
- Some type information wasn't defined in the doc-strings and has been
added.
- Verbose type info would benefit from support for type aliases.
For now, PointerRNA is made non-trivial by giving explicit default
values to its members.
Besides of BPY python binding code, the change is relatively trivial.
The main change (besides the creation/deletion part) is the replacement
of `memset` by zero-initialized assignment (using `{}`).
makesrna required changes are quite small too.
The big piece of this PR is the refactor of the BPY RNA code.
It essentially brings back allocation and deletion of the BPy_StructRNA,
BPy_Pointer etc. python objects into 'cannonical process', using `__new__`,
and `__init__` callbacks (and there matching CAPI functions).
Existing code was doing very low-level manipulations to create these
data, which is not really easy to understand, and AFAICT incompatible
with handling C++ data that needs to be constructed and destructed.
Unfortunately, similar change in destruction code (using `__del__` and
matching `tp_finalize` CAPI callback) is not possible, because of technical
low-level implementation details in CPython (see [1] for details).
`std::optional` pointer management is used to encapsulate PointerRNA
data. This allows to keep control on _when_ actual RNA creation is done,
and to have a safe destruction in `tp_dealloc` callbacks.
Note that a critical change in Blender's Python API will be that classes
inherinting from `bpy_struct` etc. will now have to properly call the
base class `__new__` and/or `__init__`if they define them.
Implements #122431.

- Account for new member in _PyArg_Parser.
- Many Python op-codes have been removed.
For the moment these are disabled in is_opcode_secure.
Some should be added back as intrinsics, noted in code-comments.
Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.

While these warnings point to real errors in the code,
PyMethodDef are an exception where functions with different numbers
of arguments are all cast to the same function type.
