Move all header file into namespace.
Unnecessary namespaces was removed from implementations file.
Part of forward declarations in header was moved in the top part
of file just to do not have a lot of separate namespaces.

Currently support for data-block inputs is disabled because pointer
properties in operator properties aren't properly handled in Blender
(for more info, see 871c717c6e). This commit brings basic
support for them by storing strings (data-block names) in the operator
properties instead. The main downside of using strings compared other
theoretical solutions is that data-blocks from different library files
can have the same name. This solution won't work well for those cases.
However, it still brings a lot of utility to node tools for a relatively
simple code change.
I investigated two other solutions for this that didn't work out. Using
the recently added enum custom property support didn't work because
the data-block names would still have to be unique. Plus generating an
enum would require a bunch of boilerplate code. Extending the existing
button search code to handle integer session UID backed data-blocks was
much trickier than I expected. The code there is already quite spagetti-
like, and things got out of hand quickly. That's still valid future work
though. The implementation can be changed without breaking
compatibility of files.

Add a "Mouse Position" node that outputs the location of the mouse
cursor in region space and the overall size of the region, both in pixel
units. Both outputs are integers to help reflect their pixel units.
If there the mouse position is ever accessible in sub-pixels, they can
easily be changed to floats.
Also add a "Wait for Cursor" option similar to the one for some built-in
operators that delay's the operator's execution until there is a mouse
click in the viewport. That way the operator can be called from menus
even though it is interactive. This option is placed in the node editor
header. When there are more options, it will be part of an "Options"
popover panel similar to the existing "Modes" and "types" popovers.
Combined with the viewport transform node, and other nodes like Raycast,
these features can allow making tools that create geometry where you
click in the scene.

Add a node that outputs the transform of the viewport relative to the
self object's transform. This node can be used to build effects like
billboarding or aligning geometry to the current view. In combination
with the mouse position node in the future it will allow tools like
generating geometry at the mouse click position.
There are two output matrices. The first is the projection matrix
that takes positions in camera space and applies the final perspective
projection. The other is the "view" matrix which contains the location
and rotation of the camera. These are separate because though their
combination is useful, it isn't used like a typical rotation/transform matrix.

Currently for node tools we create and evaluate a temporary depsgraph
with all the selected object data-blocks and all data-blocks referenced
by the node tree.
Needless to say, this can be very slow when those data-blocks contain
arbitrary procedural operations. Re-evaluating all the selected objects
is particularly because it will give a slowdown even in very basic uses
of node tools.
Originally I hoped that geometry nodes could be made to work with
original as well as evaluated data-blocks. But that would require far
too many tricky changes and arguably isn't right design-wise anyway.
Instead of that, this commit makes node tools dependency graph
evaluation more fine-grained in a few ways.
1. Remove the evaluation of selected objects. These are always visible
in the viewport and part of the active depsgraph anyway. To protect
against cyclic dependencies, we now compare `orig_id` instead of the
object pointer itself.
2. Evaluate the node group and its dependencies in a separate depsgraph
used only when necessary. This allows using the original node tree
without any copies when it doesn't reference any data-blocks.
3. Evaluate IDs from node group inputs (from the redo panel) in the extra
depsgraph as well, only when necessary.

The main motivation for this is that it's part of a fix for #113377,
where I want to propagate the edit mesh pointers through copied
meshes in modifiers and geometry nodes, instead of just setting the
edit mesh pointer at the end of the modifier stack. That would have
two main benefits:
1. We avoid the need to write to the evaluated mesh, after evaluation
which means it can be shared directly among evaluated objects.
2. When an object's mesh is completely replaced by the mesh from another
object during evaluation (with the object info node), the final edit
mesh pointer will not be "wrong", allowing us to skip index-mapped
GPU data extraction.
Beyond that, using a shared pointer just makes things more automatic.
Handling of edit mesh data is already complicated enough, this way some
of the worry and complexity can be handled by RAII.
One thing to keep in mind is that the edit mesh's BMesh is still freed
manually with `EDBM_mesh_free_data` when leaving edit mode. I figured
that was a more conservative approach for now. Maybe eventually that
could be handled automatically with RAII too.

To ease the process of debugging a node group while creating
a node tool, while the group is visible in a node editor, log the socket
values from its last execution. The values are only logged for the
active object is nothing selected. The Viewer node is still not supported
because visualization would probably be very tricky.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/120596
For socket value logging this needs to be used in a couple other places.
Also remove the operator name argument. For the forseable future this
will only be used with the existing node tools operator anyway.
Currently the node tools asset tree for extending 3D view headers is
rebuilt whenever it's cleared, which is done by clearing the tree's storage.
That means the data is rebuilt on every redraw if there are no node tools
and the tree storage is empty. With larger asset libraries that can be
quite expensive.
Now, instead of clearing the map, use a new dirty tag to store whether
the asset tree is out of date compared to the assets.
This should resolve#120494
Move the public functions from the editors/object (`ED_object.hh`)
header to the `blender::ed::object` namespace, and move all of the
implementation files to the namespace too. This provides better code
completion, makes it easier to use other C++ code, removes unnecessary
redundancy and verbosity from local uses of public functions, and more
cleanly separates different modules.
See the diff in `ED_object.hh` for the main renaming changes.

Also fix the poll to properly check for the remaining unsupported types.
Don't add back Quaternion support, since that's arguably less useful,
and we might want different ways to set those values compared to
just entering WXYZ.
It's possible for an object to be in edit mode without being selected. Use the
`FOREACH_OBJECT_IN_MODE_BEGIN` iterator to find all objects in the mode instead.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/119412
I think the issue is that the run-node-group operator overwrites the data stored in the
`Mesh` while mesh edit mode operations typically only change the `BMEditMesh`. It
seems like that causes issues because the mesh edit mode undo stack does not
keep track of changes to the `Mesh`. When hitting undo, Blender assumes that the
`Mesh` stored in the object has not changed and therefore it does not have to be
read from the undo step again.
The preliminary fix implemented here is to just not change the `Mesh` but only the
`BMEditMesh` like any other edit mode operator. This seems to solve the issue.
I haven't quite figured out yet how to tell the undo system that the `Mesh` has to be
loaded from the undo step when undoing out of mesh edit mode. Doing that might
provide a better solution.

When the "use_attribute" properties were added, boolean IDProperties
didn't exist. Then we didn't change it for a while because of forward
compatibility concerns. But currently we always convert boolean
properties to integer properties when saving anyway (since
2ea47e0def, so there is no issue with compatibility.
Using booleans makes working with the properties in the Python API
a bit friendlier.

For various reasons, node tools don't support some data. Shape keys aren't
supported because their format is entirely different for evaluated and
original data-blocks, and node tools currently work in the "evaluated"
world. Though that would be nice to change, in the meantime users
should at least be warned when this happens.
This PR adds a simple "Mesh shape key data removed" operator warning.
See #113662

Basic motivation is that `AssetCatalogService::get_catalog_tree()`
should return a const tree, since this tree is internal state and
shouldn't be modified from outside. This exposed a whole bunch of const
incorrectnesses and just generally allows to make much more of the API
const (as it should be).
Also use references instead of pointers in testing functions, where null
is not an expected value.
PR #118382 exposed an issue where creating a catalog with non-existing
parents would trigger an endless recursion. When creating the missing
parents, the tree would be rebuilt, which would again try to create the
missing parents, for which the tree would be rebuild, etc. It just
happend to work fine for creating single catalogs with existing parents.
Rather than rebuilding the tree immediately, tag the asset library as
having "dirty" catalog data, and let code requiring the up-to-date
catalog tree (node tool menus) ensure the tree is updated if needed.
The asset library loading API should be made clearer and generally
better defined/designed, currently it's all a bit messy & confusing.

`UUID` generally stands for "universally unique identifier". The session identifier that
we use is neither universally unique, nor does it follow the standard. Therefor, the term
"session uuid" is confusing and should be replaced.
In #116888 we briefly talked about a better name and ended up with "session uid".
The reason for "uid" instead of "id" is that the latter is a very overloaded term in Blender
already.
This patch changes all uses of "uuid" to "uid" where it's used in the context of a
"session uid". It's not always trivial to see whether a specific mention of "uuid" refers
to an actual uuid or something else. Therefore, I might have missed some renames.
I can't think of an automated way to differentiate the case.
BMesh also uses the term "uuid" sometimes in a the wrong context (e.g. `UUIDFaceStepItem`)
but there it also does not mean "session uid", so it's *not* changed by this patch.

Along with the 4.1 libraries upgrade, we are bumping the clang-format
version from 8-12 to 17. This affects quite a few files.
If not already the case, you may consider pointing your IDE to the
clang-format binary bundled with the Blender precompiled libraries.
Some common headers were including this. Separating the includes
will ideally lead to better conceptual separation between CustomData
and the attribute API too. Mostly the change is adding the file to
places where it was included indirectly before. But some code is
shuffled around to hopefully better places as well.
Remove most includes of this header inside other headers, to remove unnecessary
indirect includes which can have a impact on compile times. In the future we may
want more dedicated "_fwd.hh" headers, but until then, this sticks with the
solution in existing code.
Unfortunately it isn't yet possible to remove the include from `BKE_geometry_set.hh`.
Each value is now out of the global namespace, so they can be shorter
and easier to read. Most of this commit just adds the necessary casting
and namespace specification. `enum class` can be forward declared since
it has a specified size. We will make use of that in the next commit.
Use the standard "elements_num" naming, and use the "corner" name rather
than the old "loop" name: `verts_num`, `edges_num`, and `corners_num`.
This matches the existing `faces_num` field which was already renamed.

The term `looptri` was used ambiguously for both single & arrays.
The term `tri` was also used, causing `tri->tri`.
Use terms:
- `looptris` for an array or when dealing with multiple items.
- `looptri` is used when dealing with a single item.
- `lt` for a single MLoopTri variables & arguments.
This was already a convention but not followed closely.
This adds a new "Active Camera" input geometry node, per #105761.
The node outputs the the scene's current active camera. It is available
from Input > Scene > Active Camera in the geometry nodes Add menu.
Typical usage would be to connect this node to an Object Info node to
obtain its transform. This works as expected when the camera's
transform is animated, and also when there are markers on the timeline
that change the active camera.
In order to support the aforementioned changes in the active camera,
this implementation adds depsgraph relations for all cameras referenced
by timeline markers. This eliminates the complexity of updating the
depsgraph whenever the scene switches to a different active camera,
but of course it comes at the cost of including more objects than
strictly necessary in the depsgraph for scenes that switch cameras.
Dynamically updating the depsgraph upon camera changes could be a
future improvement if there proves to be sufficient need for it.

Due to changes in the build environment shader_builder wasn't able to
compile on macOs. This patch reverts several recent changes to CMake files.
* dbb2844ed9
* 94817f64b9
* 1b6cd937ff
The idea is that in the near future shader_builder will run on the buildbot as
part of any regular build to ensure that changes to the CMake doesn't break
shader_builder and we only detect it after a few days.
