Since vertex and face normals can be calculated separately, it simplifies
things to further separate the two caches. This makes it easier to use
`SharedCache` to avoid recalculating normals when copying meshes.
Sharing vertex normal caches with meshes with the same positions and
topology allows completely skipping recomputation as meshes are
copied. The effects are similar to e8f4010611, but normals are much
more expensive, so the benefit is larger.
In a simple test changing a large grid's generic attribute with geometry
nodes, I observed a performance improvement from 12 to 17 FPS.
Most real world situations will have smaller changes though.
Completely splitting face and vertex calculation is slightly slower
when face normals aren't already calculated, so I kept the option
to recalculate them together as well.
This simplifies investigating the changes in #105920 which resolve
non-determinism in the vertex normal calculation. If we can make the
topology map creation fast enough, that might allow simplifying this
code more in the future.

When the mouse cursor is outside the window, it's expected to not have
an active area set in context on such screen level operators. Use the
existing context query that handles this case.
`uiBut` cannot simply be zero-allocated any more and needs proper construction
(so the `std::function` members can be constructed properly for example). I'm
not entirely sure where and how exactly the crash happens (happens in release
builds only, so probably optimization related), but this change must be done
either way and fixes the issue.
Remove the global `SculptThreadedTaskData` struct which contained
the arguments to ALL multi-threaded sculpt functions. Use the C++
threading API instead of the old task API, moving the arguments
previously stored in the shared struct to actual function arguments.

The commit f10965dcb8 introduced a regression in the way how the VBOs
are filled by assuming the requested VBO attribute type has the same
alignment as the CPU and is the same on different platforms.
Unfortunately, this turned out to not be the case.
Switch the mask attribute to be float on the GPU, which has a downside
of increased bandwidth to be transferred, but a benefit of less compute
power needed to update the VBO.
The fix is suggested by Clement.

This was hard coded to 8, which can still result in a number that
jitters making the overall FPS difficult to measure.
The default is still 8, but this is now a preference that can be
increased for values that don't jitter as much.
The average times weren't reset so the last draw time would be used
making the FPS seem low for the first ~10 or so frames.
The averages from the last time the playback operator ran were also
used which could be misleading although this was also limited to the
first 8 frames.
Resolve by freeing the ScreenFrameRateInfo on animation start/end.
Calculating the average FPS was done in the draw function which
also overwrote the old value. With multiple viewports the same
time-delta would be written multiple times causing the FPS display
not to use use REDRAW_FRAME_AVERAGE as intended.
Resolve by only calculating the average once per frame change across
multiple viewports.
This was noted in code comments and checked in Python documentation
generation but not at build time.
Since these enums are identifiers that end up included in various places
enforce the `rna_enum_*_items` convention which was noted as
the convention but not followed strictly.
Partially reverts [0], avoids having to deal with multiple prefix types.

TransInfo wasn't initialized, causing drawSnapping to depend on
uninitialized stack memory. When `t.tsnap.flag & SCE_SNAP` happened
to be set - snap would draw.
Initialize the TransInfo struct and set SCE_SNAP explicitly.
The situation at this stage of readfile process is now sane enough, that
the regular Pose freeing code can be called, avoiding potential
memleaks.
Note that this whole 'non-Empty object with NULL obdata' case should now
be very hypothetical, since in case a linked obdata goes missing,
Blender will generate and empty place-holder for it at read time.
Tested by artificially setting all Armature objects' obdata pointer to
null in read_data code, and loading some complex production files from
Pets Project.
Keeping a mutable reference to vertex normals for the entire lifetime
of the PBVH structure makes caching the normals and sharing the cache
harder than it should be. Generally code is safer when we reduce the
number of mutable references to data.
Currently the normals are modified in two places. First is the sculpt
mesh normal recalculation. There we can just retrieve the normals from
the mesh each time. Second is the restore from an undo step. That is
unnecessary because the normals are marked for recalculation anyway.
It doesn't even make much sense to store the normals in an undo step
when we can easily recalculate them based on new positions.
This change helps with #110479. These were also the last place that
kept a mutable reference to normals. I tested undo and redo after
sculpting, and it works well for each PBVH type.

The `lib_link` callback cannot always be fully replaced/removed, as in
some case it is also doing some validation checks, or data editing based
on the result of lib_linking internal ID pointers.
The callback has been renamed for that purpose, from `read_lib` to
`read_after_liblink`. It is now called after all ID pointers have been
fully lib-linked for the current ID, but still before the call to
`do_versions_after_linking`.
This change should not have any behavioral effect. Although in theory
the side-effect of this commit (to split lib linking itself, and the
validation/further processing code) into two completely separated steps
could have some effects, in practice none are expected, and tests did
not show any changes in behavior either..
Part of implementing #105134: Removal of readfile's lib_link & expand code.
As pointed out in #111426, the filtering for only editable channels
was wrongly set for grease pencil layers,
the layer being editable if it is not locked, and not the other way around.

There was a difference between drag&drop assets from the asset browser
vs. using the search menu (in that doing it from the menu would
correctly hide the data-block selector on the nodegroup).
Since drag&drop in the Node Editor uses `NODE_OT_add_group` (not
`NODE_OT_add_group_asset` as the menu does), we have to add the hiding
here too (for this, an operator property is added which is set in
`node_group_drop_copy` if we are dropping an asset.
Alternatively, we could use `NODE_OT_add_group_asset`, too, but that
would require somehow setting the "asset" context pointer from the
dropbox copy function [how to do this wasnt obvious for me]. In that
case, we would need to set up a separate dropbox with appropriate poll
functions (so there would be one for asset groups and for the the other
groups).

If this is not a system override, this leads to the override actually
being reset (which might affect the 3Dview and most probably affects the
Properties Editor).
Now use the same modifiers as used elsewhere for resetting a library
override.

Extract a mask from the stencil buffer and use that texture instead
when texture views are not available.
Needed for supporting the Windows ARM software driver.
The workaround is isolated on its own class so it's easy to remove once
it's no longer needed.
Note that while this adds a function to check if texture views are available
(`GPU_texture_view_support`), at the moment this always returns true in
practice, since OpenGL 4.3 is the minimum supported version.
A separate patch will be needed to allow Blender to run using
OpenGL 4.2 + extensions.

This PR adds an initial set of nodes using the new rotation socket.
6 nodes build rotations or convert them to other formats, a 7th rotates
a vector with a rotation, and the last inverts rotations.
The design task #109965 describes the choice to use separate nodes
for the rotation construction and separation operations. In the future,
a "Switch Node" operator (#111438) will help to make working with
these separated nodes faster.
