The goal is to make the Add menu more convenient for the new curves object.
The following changes are done:
* Add `curves` submenu.
* Add an `Empty Hair` operator that also sets the surface object.
* Rename the old operator to `Random`. It's mostly for testing at this point.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D14556
This operator snaps the first point of every curve to the corresponding
surface object. The shape of individual curves or their orientation is
not changed.
There are two different attachment modes:
* `Nearest`: Move each curve so that the first point is on the closest
point on the surface. This should be used when the topology of the
surface mesh changed, but the shape generally stayed the same.
* `Deform`: Use the existing attachment information that is stored
for curves to move curves to their new location when the surface
mesh was deformed. This generally does not work when the
topology changed.
The purpose of the operator is to help setup the "ground truth"
for how curves are attached to the surface. When the ground
truth surface changed, the original curves have to be updated
as well. Deforming curves based on an animated surface will be
done with geometry nodes independent of the operator.
In the UI, the operator is currently exposed in curves sculpt mode
in the `Curves > Snap Curves to Surface` menu.

Avoid errors in the legacy Pose Library panel (in Armature properties)
when the Pose Library add-on is disabled.
It's unfortunate that a built-in panel now has knowledge of an add-on.
Then again, it's temporary (one or two Blender releases), and it now uses
feature detection instead of just assuming the add-on is enabled.
Change uses of "Hair" in Render Settings UI in the property editor
and the "Hair Info" node to use the "Curves" name to reflect the
design described in T95355, where hair is just a use case of a more
general curves data type.
While these settings still affect the particle hair system,
the idea is that if we have to choose one naming scheme to align
with, we should choose the option that aligns with future plans
and current development efforts, especially since the particle
system is considered a legacy feature.
A few notes:
- "Principled Hair BSDF" is not affected since it's meant for hair.
- Python API property identifiers are not affected.

This avoids script authors using `eval("context.%s" % data_path)`
to access paths starting from the context,
which isn't good practice especially if the data_path isn't trusted.
Now it's possible to resplve paths such as:
context.path_resolve('active_object.modifiers[0].name')
Access the keys of the collection instead of the layers names
and use a set to detect collisions. There is no need to access the
duplicate layers themselves. Roughly twice as fast.
color attribute system.
This commit removes sculpt colors from experimental
status and unifies it with vertex colors. It
introduces the concept of "color attributes", which
are any attributes that represents colors. Color
attributes can be represented with byte or floating-point
numbers and can be stored in either vertices or
face corners.
Color attributes share a common namespace
(so you can no longer have a floating-point
sculpt color attribute and a byte vertex color
attribute with the same name).
Note: this commit does not include vertex paint mode,
which is a separate patch, see:

This adds a new Grow/Shrink brush which is similar to the Length
brush in the old hair system.
* It's possible to switch between growing and shrinking by hold
down ctrl and/or by changing the direction enum.
* 3d brush is supported.
* Different brush falloffs are supported.
* Supports scaling curves uniformly or shrinking/extrapolating
them. Extrapolation is linear only in this patch.
* A minimum length settings helps to avoid creating zero-sized curves.

This only adds a experimental flag to enable the 3d texturing brush,
so future developments could check. Currently the flag does nothing
as no functionality of the 3d texturing brush has been implemented.
This patch adds channel region to VSE timeline area for drawing channel
headers. It is synchronizedwith timeline region. 3 basic features are
implemented - channel visibility, locking and name.
Channel data is stored in `SeqTimelineChannel` which can be top-level
owned by `Editing`, or it is owned by meta strip to support nesting.
Strip properties are completely independent and channel properties are
applied on top of particular strip property, thus overriding it.
Implementation is separate from channel regions in other editors. This
is mainly because style and topology is quite different in VSE. But
also code seems to be much more readable this way.
Currently channels use functions similar to VSE timeline to draw
background to provide illusion of transparency, but only for background
and sfra/efra regions.
Great portion of this patch is change from using strip visibility and
lock status to include channel state - this is facilitated by functions
`SEQ_transform_is_locked` and `SEQ_render_is_muted`
Originally this included changes in D14263, but patch was split for
easier review.

Light groups are a type of pass that only contains lighting from a subset of light sources.
They are created in the View layer, and light sources (lamps, objects with emissive materials
and/or the environment) can be assigned to a group.
Currently, each light group ends up generating its own version of the Combined pass.
In the future, additional types of passes (e.g. shadowcatcher) might be getting their own
per-lightgroup versions.
The lightgroup creation and assignment is not Cycles-specific, so Eevee or external render
engines could make use of it in the future.
Note that Lightgroups are identified by their name - therefore, the name of the Lightgroup
in the View Layer and the name that's set in an object's settings must match for it to be
included.
Currently, changing a Lightgroup's name does not update objects - this is planned for the
future, along with other features such as denoising for light groups and viewing them in
preview renders.

Adds a dropdown for the Library Overrides display mode that lets users
choose between a "Properties" and a "Hierachies" view mode. The former
is what was previously there (a mode that displays all overridden
properties with buttons to edit the values), the latter is new. It
displays the hierarchical relationships between library overridden
data-blocks. E.g. to override the mesh of an object inside a linked
collection, the entire collection > object > mesh hierarchy needs to be
overridden (whereby the former two will be automatically overridden
using system overrides).
The Hierarchies mode will also show the override hierarchies of
data-blocks that were linked and are overridden in the source file. This
information is useful to have, especially for debugging scenes.

This commit makes the dot grid used as background in the node editor
more visually stable when zooming in and out.
The dot grid now uses a continuously subdividing pattern, where
each level of subdivision divides the previous five times, similar to
the line grid in the 3D viewport.
The maximum for the "Grid Levels" theme setting is changed to 3, since
any further subdivisions are too small to be visible.
The "Grid Levels" value for the default themes "Blender Dark" and
"Blender Light" is therefore changed to 3, as well.

The current behaviour is to prevent multi-user data from having its
transformation applied.
However in some particular cases it is possible to apply them:
* If all the users of the multi-user data are part of the selection.
* If not all the users are in the selection but the selection is made
single-user.
The active object is used as reference to set the transformation of the
other selected objects.
Note: For simplicity sake, this new behaviour is only available if all
the selection is using the same data.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D14377
While it's useful for click-drag to leave the selection as-is
(when clicking on items that are already selected), it's useful
for a single click to de-select all other elements.
This also removes the need for the initial selection to set the object
as active since this is possible by clicking on it.
Don't always create a new geometry nodes node tree when adding a
geometry nodes modifier.
This avoids files getting cluttered with empty and unused geometry node
trees that are created every time a nodes modifier is added to an
object - even if only to apply an already existing.
This is also more consistent with other modifiers that also don't
automatically create new data blocks.
The new modifier still automatically gets populated with a new node
tree when adding it via the "New" button in the header of the
geometry nodes editor.

Object mode selection does a kind of cycling that excludes the active
selected object. This is separate from regular selection cycling which
is enabled when clicking multiple times without moving the cursor.
This has the down-side that clicking on an object to drag it always
selects the object behind it (in the case of overlapping objects).
Since object mode selection is fundamental functionality, this is
exposed as an experimental preference for user feedback & testing.

This extends on changes from T96544.
New supported features:
* 3D/spherical brush that samples a good position on the curves.
* Falloff.
The custom falloff curve mapping is not yet available in the ui because that
requires some more ui reorganization. This is better done when we have
a better understanding of what settings we need exactly.
Currently, the depth of the 3d brush is only sampled once per stroke, when
first pressing LMB. Sometimes it is expected that the depth of the brush can
change within a single brush. However, implementing that in a good way
is not straight forward and might need additional options. Therefore that
will be handled separately. Some experimentation results are in D14376.
