Matching the RNA id's to the search pattern is slow because
of the function `fnmatchcase`. This patch first checks the string
prefix without any special characters used by fnmatch,
if the `startswith` check fails, there is no need to check `fnmatchcase`.
Before the optimization, an online manual lookup took about 400ms
which is quite noticeable, with this patch applied it's under 10ms.

During hair grooming in curves sculpt mode, it is very useful when hair strands
are prevented from intersecting with the surface mesh. Unfortunately, it also
decreases performance significantly so we don't want it to be turned on all the time.
The surface collision is used by the Comb, Pinch and Puff brushes currently.
It can be turned on or off on a per-geometry basis.
The intersection prevention quality of this patch is not perfect yet. This can
be improved over time using a better solver. Overall, perfect collision detection
at the cost of bad performance is not necessary for interactive sculpting,
because the user can fix small mistakes very quickly. Nevertheless, the quality
can probably still be improved significantly without too big slow-downs depending
on the use case. This can be done separately from this patch.

This adds a new `select_linked` function that selects all the points
on a curve if there is at least one point already selected.

Add `contains_group` method in python api for `NodeTree` type, cleanup
`ntreeHasTree` function, reuse `ntreeHasTree` in more place in code.
The algorithm has been changed to not recheck trees by using set.
Performance gains from avoiding already checked node trees:
Based on tests, can say that for large files with a huge number
of trees, the response speed of opening the search menu in the
node editor increased by ~200 times (for really large projects
with 16 individual groups in 6 levels of nesting). Group insert
operations are also accelerated, but this is different in some cases.

The generator now skips these with a warning, they will need to be
corrected in the user manual.
This caused tests/python/bl_rna_manual_reference.py to fail looking
up URL's.
Move the function for getting the language code associated with the
user manual into a utility function (from the generated
rna_manual_reference.py).
This allows other parts of Blender to create a manual URL based on the
current locale preferences and environment.

Add a new node that groups faces inside of boundary edge regions.
This is the opposite action as the existing "Face Group Boundaries"

- Use bpy.utils.execfile instead of importing then deleting from
sys.modules.
- Add a note for why keeping this cached in memory isn't necessary.
This has the advantage of not interfering with any scripts that import
`rna_manual_reference` as a module.
This allow to bypass all cost associated with shadow mapping.
This can be useful in certain situation, such as opening a scene on a
lower end system or just to gain performance in some situation (lookdev).
Implements virtual shadow mapping for EEVEE-Next primary shadow solution.
This technique aims to deliver really high precision shadowing for many
lights while keeping a relatively low cost.
The technique works by splitting each shadows in tiles that are only
allocated & updated on demand by visible surfaces and volumes.
Local lights use cubemap projection with mipmap level of detail to adapt
the resolution to the receiver distance.
Sun lights use clipmap distribution or cascade distribution (depending on
which is better) for selecting the level of detail with the distance to
the camera.
Current maximum shadow precision for local light is about 1 pixel per 0.01
degrees.
For sun light, the maximum resolution is based on the camera far clip
distance which sets the most coarse clipmap.
## Limitation:
Alpha Blended surfaces might not get correct shadowing in some corner
casses. This is to be fixed in another commit.
While resolution is greatly increase, it is still finite. It is virtually
equivalent to one 8K shadow per shadow cube face and per clipmap level.
There is no filtering present for now.
## Parameters:
Shadow Pool Size: In bytes, amount of GPU memory to dedicate to the
shadow pool (is allocated per viewport).
Shadow Scaling: Scale the shadow resolution. Base resolution should
target subpixel accuracy (within the limitation of the technique).

There was an inconsistency between geometry sample nodes and mesh/curve
sample nodes, where the latter didn't have a special "Sample" category,
and we categorized as "Operations", which they were not. Also put the
sample category between "Read" and "Write" since the verb name is
more consistent and sampling is an advanced form of reading.
This will add a proper modal keymap for the node link drag operator.
It allows the user to customize the keys used to start drag and so on.
Also it gets rid of the custom status bar message.

In the previous situation the message was shown for Apple devices.
But this is not correct and confusing.
- Apple with Metal backend are supported, OpenGL on Apple isn't
- Legacy devices on Windows or Linux are also not supported.
This change will check that the capabilities of the GPU match the
requirements to use Viewport compositor. Based on those capabilities
a message is shown and the panel is activated.

- EEVEE: Compiling Shaders (the same message exists in EEVEE Next, but
it uses string concatenation and I don't know yet how to deal with
those--see T92758)

- Pan (audio, camera)
- Box (TextSequence)
- Mix (noun in constraints, GP materials)
- Volume (object type, file system)
- Floor (math integer part, 3D viewport horizontal plane)
- Impossible to disambiguate the constraint name because
bConstraintTypeInfo doesn't have a context field.

Based on T99607:
- Existing Angle Control shortcuts are removed
- Voxel, Dyntopo and Hair resolution shortcuts are remapped to `R`
Since voxel remeshing is not compatible with dyntopo, each can use the shortcut `R` for the remeshing resolution without causing a conflict.
The shortcut `R` is not currently used for anything important.
The angle control menu is commonly not used.
And sculpt mode is only coincidentally inheriting the rotate operator shortcut on `R` because nothing else is mapped to the key.

This addressed feature request T99811.
Added the following features to fully support importing USDZ archives:
- Added .usdz to the list of supported extensions.
- Added new USD import options to copy textures from USDZ archives. The
textures may be imported as packed data (the default) or to a directory
on disk.
- Extended the USD material import logic to handle package-relative texture
assets paths by invoking the USD asset resolver to copy the textures from
the USDZ archive to a directory on disk. When importing in Packed mode,
the textures are first saved to Blender's temporary session directory
prior to packing.
The new USD import options are
- Import Textures: Behavior when importing textures from a USDZ archive
- Textures Directory: Path to the directory where imported textures will
be copied
- File Name Collision: Behavior when the name of an imported texture file
conflicts with an existing file
Import Textures menu options:
- None: Don't import textures
- Packed: Import textures as packed data (the default)
- Copy: Copy files to Textures Directory
File Name Collision menu options:
- Use Existing: If a file with the same name already exists, use that
instead of copying (the default)
- Overwrite: Overwrite existing files

Rewrite of the Workbench engine using C++ and the new Draw Manager API.
The new engine can be enabled in Blender `Preferences > Experimental > Workbench Next`.
After that, the engine can be selected in `Properties > Scene > Render Engine`.
When `Workbench Next` is the active engine, it also handles the `Solid` viewport mode rendering.
The rewrite aims to be functionally equivalent to the current Workbench engine, but it also includes some small fixes/tweaks:
- `In Front` rendered objects now work correctly with DoF and Shadows.
- The `Sampling > Viewport` setting is actually used when the viewport is in `Render Mode`.
- In `Texture` mode, textured materials also use the material properties. (Previously, only non textured materials would)
To do:
- Sculpt PBVH.
- Volume rendering.
- Hair rendering.
- Use the "no_geom" shader versions for shadow rendering.
- Decide the final API for custom visibility culling (Needed for shadows).
- Profile/optimize.
Known Issues:
- Matcaps are not loaded until they’re shown elsewhere. (e.g. when opening the `Viewort Shading` UI)
- Outlines are drawn between different materials of the same object. (Each material submesh has its own object handle)
