Simplify preferences by removing the ability to load them from
either the startup.blend or userpref.blend.
Also simplifies updating default preferences by moving
them to a struct definition.
This patch introduces the same presets that are used for proportional editing in the brush falloff menu. The user can select any of these presets or use the regular custom falloff curve. The presets are hardcoded formulas, so the falloff curve is not used when they are active.
This change improves the general feeling of the brushes and it is more convenient and simpler to use. The CUSTOM curve option should now be used in the case that an unusual deformation is needed, in other cases, the hardcoded curve presets should be the default.
The smooth curve presets is a must in the grab brush, as it fixes the deformation issue with the current custom curve setting. The user may try to adjust the deformation by tweaking the curve, but it is nearly impossible to replicate this desired behavior.

Other brushes that are included in the sculpt branch also rely on this as they need specific hardcoded falloffs to produce the desired effect.

This function makes it possible to clear/remove/nuke all the geometry in
a mesh, allowing functions like `Mesh.from_python()` to construct a new
mesh in its place. Without this function, code like in T67627 have to
allocate a new Mesh datablock, fill that, and swap out the old Mesh for
the new one. This introduces issues when exporting, as the new mesh
could be seen by an exporter as unrelated to the old one.
Shape keys are not freed by this function. Freeing those would require
tagging the depsgraph for relations update, which is an expensive
operation. They should be removed explicitly if necessary.
Material slots are also not cleared by this function, in the same way
that they are not cleared when manually removing all geometry from a
mesh.
The `BKE_mesh_clear_geometry()` function is available in Python as
`mesh.clear_geometry()`.

Occasionally we get reports of people that build blender and end up
with either build errors or end up with builds that do not run on
other systems. The root cause is when you install vpckg and integrate
it into the build system it puts the search path for its includes and
libraries before anything else.
previously we told people to either uninstall vcpkg or remove the
conflicting packages, which was not great.
this change opts out of the use of vcpkg for blender only, so people
can keep using it for other work without issues.
The value of the step was calculated using a variable that was removed when the render frame change.
Now, the step is calculated using the modulus of the current frame and recalculate noise only if the remainder that results from performing integer division is equal to 0.
To calculate current frame, the first used frame is calculated to adjust real frame range.
This approach is more stable in viewport and render.
There was a fixed limit to the number of points available in a buffer stroke.
Now, the array is expanded as needed using a predefined number of points for each expansion, instead to add one by one. This is done to reduce the number of times the memory allocation is required.
As part of the fix, some variables have been renamed to reflect better their use.
When the mesh is using custom normals, those should always be exported,
regardless of the `ME_SMOOTH` flag on the invidivual polys.
Also replaced the loop normal writing with the same logic as we use for
reading (less pointer arithmetic, more normal counting).
Loop normals are called 'Face-varying normals' in Alembic. Before this
commit, the existence of such normals was used to enable smooth shading.
This is incorrect, as the normals could encode flat faces just as well.
This commit adds the loading of these normals as custom loop normals. It
then also enables Auto-Smoothing on the mesh (which is a bit of a
misnomer and indicates to Blender that the custom normals should be
used).
Fixes the glitching described in T65959.

The only thing that is stored in this pointer is a `Mesh*`, and casting
it from/to `void*` is unnecessary and confusing. Maybe the entire

By having a switch statement that lists all the values of the enum, it is
clear which cases we're not handling, and it also allows for warnings in

When using the clone brush, the first time the brush worked, but the next time no. The reasons were two:
1) The strokes were copied to the active layer, but if there were more than one layer, the stroke must be copied to the original layer.
2) The materials were not assigned properly and the materials were set as the first slot in the list always.
Now, the original layer name is used to try to find the same layer in destination. If the layer is missing, the active layer is used.
For materials, the bug in the hash lookup is fixed and the material is assigned to the right slot.
The issue was that the redo panel area would call with region type HUD (not WINDOW).
Now we make sure that the redo panel always polls the operator in the original area type context.

While speedup is hard to detect (highly fluctuent), it seems to be
around 5% on average on my 8 threads machine...
It also remove usage of a 'global' thread lock, which is always good.
Note that I also tried to use proper foreach threaded iterator construct
(see D5372), but that proved to be relatively slower (presumably due to
the very high dissymmetry between tasks, usually during a paint stroke
only a few chunks will require most of the computing effort, overhead of
threaded foreach management is then noticeable).
This concludes (for now) the work on
T51133 Bad performance with texture painting depending on multi-thread settings.
Previously we were setting it to 1 (aka no 'chunking'), to follow
previous behavior. However, this is far from optimal, especially with
CPUs that can have tens of threads nowadays.
Now taking an heuristic approach (inspired from the one already existing
for `BLI_task_parallel_listbase()`, which tries to guesstimate best
chunk sizes based on several factors (amount of threads/parallel tasks,
total number of items, ...).
Think this is a reasonable base ground, more optimization here would of
course be possible.
Note that code that was already explicitely settings some value here
won't be affected at all by that change.
Some ugly very low-level collection code was using the generic
LIB_TAG_DOIT tag... should never happen, that one is for rather
high-level code to use, core process shall use own tags.
This allows to type in numinput 720 and indeed get a rotation of 720°, not 0°...
This patch basically applies 'big rotations' in steps < 180°, such that
compatible rotation works as expected. This implies resetting current
rotation to initial one first, otherwise we'd end up applying much more
turns than expected when that code is called more than once.
It also makes things somewhat slower for big rotations (millions of degrees),
Hence we clamp to 1000 turns max.
And since that's a case that cannot happen with regular tool/widget-driven rotation,
it's only enabled when numinput is used for now.

Curve drawing was attempting to draw reprojection error curve when it was
not visible.
Worst thing is that the imm was not informed about vertices, so the code
was causing an assert in debug mode. Probably, it is also what have caused
random crashes after recent changes.
We didn't include and of the newer interpolation types in the
normalization function.
Besides taking into account these newer types, we now also only evaluate
the curves when needed. If the values between the control points won't
exceed the control point values, we only use the start/end values for
our normalization

Mesh can not be requested from original object, and it can not be
copied into evaluated modifier because there is no such a thing yet.
It can not be done this way now, because getting evaluated object
will force it to re-calculate, which kind of defeats idea of this
code to preserve un-baked particles.
