Grouping the legacy DerivedMesh code in the same place helps keep
the actively maintained code clearer and clarifies what we are hoping
to remove in the future.
Move to a file with the more consistent "mesh_legacy" naming, out of the
modifier evaluation code which has nothing to do with this anymore. That
file can be renamed in a separate step.
Using a non-virtual derived struct for polymorphism is error prone,
especially combined with the requirements of DNA. Instead, use a
separately allocated runtime struct as done for many other DNA structs.
In a followup commit, the remaining runtime members of `PreviewImage`
could be moved to the new runtime struct.

The Viewport Compositor only operates on part of the render when doing
viewport rendering when in camera view. That's because the code wrongly
assumed camera offset even when doing viewport renders, which do not
exist in that case.
The function was declared in a BKE header but defined in
the sculpt_paint editors module. Move it to the slightly-less
arbitrary ED_sculpt.hh header instead.
- Don't store triangulation or triangle face indices in MeshRenderData.
This makes more automatic use of the lazy calculation and saves the
calculation of the face indices in some cases.
- Don't use the "extractor" abstraction for the triangle index buffer.
This is part of the ongoing transition described by #116901.
- Pass the "face sorted" data directly to the triangle index buffer
creation. That's the only place that needs it. This makes the
dependencies more explicit and might make better use of CPU cache.
Fix#121782
`GPencil` engine renders on the whole framebuffer.
If `Render region` is used, the result of GP rendering is scaled from whole
framebuffer down to the selected region.
The fix adds framebuffer viewport reset after rendering.
This resolves the problem for downstream consumers of
the framebuffer (e.g. `GPencil`).
The final result is somewhat similar to the `EEVEE Legacy`.
Now `EEVEE` rendering is done in the selected region, while `GPencil`
is rendered on whole viewport as before.

BLF_str_offset_from_cursor_position is being called with a str_len of
INT_MAX, so max buffer size instead of string length. This works fine
right now but will not when this gets more complex. For example if we
need to call functions like BLI_str_cursor_step_next_utf8, which
assumes that str_len is the actual end of the string.

Jittered Soft Shadows support.
Improves soft shadow quality at the cost of re-rendering shadow maps every sample.
Disabled by default in the viewport unless enabled in the Scene settings.

Tracing-only is the method used by default in EEVEE-Next.
Jitter-only is the method used by EEVEE-Legacy Soft Shadows.
Jitter+Over-blur combines both.

This PR adds one more stat to `ScopedTimerAveraged` for quick timing checks:
the total number of samples.
Sample output:
```
Timer 'vert_hide_update': (Average: 45.93 ms, Min: 45.93 ms, Last: 45.93 ms, Samples: 1)
```

Cursor is already set to invisible by the gizmo in `WIDGETGROUP_navigate_setup()`. Setting the cursor visibility again in the operator overwrites the desired behavior of gizmos.

Previously there's a chance that if some intersection lines are chained
together, the chain type could become contour. That is an unexpected
behaviour. Now fixed.
The way line art writes to GPv3 is changed to use new CurvesGeometry,
but it didn't join newly created strokes with existing ones so the
output result was only from the last line art modifier. Now fixed.
Add a separate function that calculates text selection box positioning
given a string's selection start and end offsets. Moves this to a
better place and allows to have more complex boxes in future when we
might have multi-line and/or multi-directional text input.
