Remove the selection attributes on the non-selected domains, since they
will be automatically filled by domain interopolation anyway. Arguably
this should be fixed in a more general way, either by ensuring they are
always on the expected domains or more gracefully handling the case
when they aren't at a lower level. But for this node, for now this is
a simpler approach.
This implements the core changes for this design: https://devtalk.blender.org/t/grease-pencil-integration-into-geometry-nodes/31220
The changes include:
* Add `CustomData` for layer attributes
* Add attribute support for the `GreasePencilComponent` to read/write layer attributes. Also introduces a `Layer` domain.
* Implement a `GreasePencilLayerFieldContext` and make `GeometryFieldContext` work with grease pencil layers.
* Implement `Set Position` node for `Grease Pencil`.
Note: These changes are only accessible/visible with the `Grease Pencil 3.0` experimental flag enabled.

The goal here is to make it easier to use the socket declaration builder
for cases where the actual socket type is not known at compile time.
For that purpose, all the methods that are not dependent on the specific
socket type are moved to the base socket declaration builder.
A nice side effect of this is reduced templated boilerplate and that more
code can be moved out of the header.
With this patch, one is now forced to put type specific method calls before
generic method calls in a chain. For example `.default_value(...).supports_field()`
instead of `supports_field().default_value(...)`. In theory, we could keep
support for both orders but that would involve a lot of additional boilerplate
code. Enforcing this order is simple enough. Note that this limitation only
applies when chaining multiple method calls. This is still possible:
```
auto &decl = b.add_input<decl::Vector>("Value");
decl.supports_field();
decl.default_value(...);
```

The 3D cursor's quaternion and euler storage are not always in sync.
The quaternion rotation should be retrieved by speciffic functions,
which I had previously missed.
`iota` is name that has no meaning, it's not an acronym or initialism.
It's usually very cryptic when I come across it. Replacing it with a
specialized function makes the code more readible.
This idea is of remapping parameters of lazy-functions is useful
not only for the repeat zone. For example, it could be used for the
for-each zone as well.
Also, moving it to a more general place indicates that there is no
repeat-zone specific stuff in it.
This makes it easier to read generated lazy-function graphs, especially when
there are zones or group nodes, because the socket identifiers on those
are some generated internal name.
The goal of this refactor is to reduce the amount of boilerplate code that is
necessary to have a dynamic number of sockets on nodes. This is achieved
by making the code more reusable. Currently, only the simulation and repeat
zone nodes make use of this. However, even with just those two, the amount
of code is reduced already. The benefit of this refactor will become even more
significant as more nodes support a dynamic number of sockets. For example,
the bake node and for-each zone will also benefit from this.
We could probably make some of the utility functions non-templates using type
erasure. This could reduce the compilation overhead when the number of nodes
with item arrays increases. The main reason for why everything is templated
now is that it made this refactor easier. Without this patch, all the code was
essentially "manually templated". So the implementations look still similar to
before now, just that concrete types are replaced with template parameters.
No user-visible changes are expected.

This patch implements the Keying Screen node for the Realtime
Compositor. Draw data was introduced to the Movie Clip ID to allow
caching of the keying screen.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/113055
This patch changes the interpolation algorithm utilized by the Keying
Screen node to a Gaussian Radial Basis Function Interpolation. This is
proposed because the current Voronoi triangulation based interpolation
has the following properties:
- Not temporally stable since the triangulation can abruptly change as
tracking markers change position.
- Not smooth in the mathematical sense, which is also readily visible in
the artists sense.
- Computationally expensive due to the triangulation and naive
rasterization algorithm.
On the other hand, the RBF interpolation method is temporally stable and
continuous, smooth and infinitely differentiable, and relatively simple
to compute assuming low number of markers, which is typically the case
for keying screen objects.
This breaks backward compatibility, but the keying screen is only used
as a secondary input for keying in typical compositor setups, so one
should expect minimal difference in outputs.

Disambiguate:
- Rename "Near" to "Proximity" as a particle event type, because using
an adjective in this context is inconsistent and sounds
strange (even in English IMO).
Extract:
- "Skip" (Geometry nodes Simulation node output socket)
- "Bake" (Directory path to geometry nodes bake files in the modifier
UI)
- " (Recovered)" (File information in title bar)

Previously, the geometry nodes modifier was converting the
viewer path to a compute context at the same time as it was
setting up side effect nodes for the geometry nodes evaluation.
Now, this is changed to be a two step process. First, the viewer
path is converted to the corresponding compute context.
Afterwards, a separate function sets side effect nodes up so
that the given node in the given compute context will be evaluated.
This has three main benefits:
* More obvious separation of concerns.
* Can reuse the code that maps a viewer path element to a compute
context already.
* With gizmo nodes (#112677), it may become necessary to add side
effect nodes based on a compute context, but without having a
corresponding viewer path.
Sometimes .blend files have compatibility issues between Blender versions,
because .blend files depended on the specific order of geometry elements
generated by some nodes/modifiers (#112746, #113018). While we make
guarantees about the order in some places, that is relatively rare, because it
makes future improvements much harder. The functionality in this patch
makes it easier for users to notice when they depend on things that are not
expected to be stable between Blender builds.
This is achieved by adding a new global flag which indicates whether some
algorithms should randomize their output. The functionality can be toggled
on or off by searching for `Set Geometry Randomization`. If there are no
differences (or acceptable minor ones) when the flag is on or off, one can
be reasonably sure that one does not on unspecified behavior (can't be 100%
sure though, because randomization might be missing in some places). If
there are big differences, one should consider fixing the file before it comes
to an actual breakage in the next Blender version.
Currently, the setting is only available when `Developer Extras` is turned on,
because the setting is in no menu.
With this patch, if we get bug reports with compatibility issues caused by
depending on indices, one of the following three cases should always apply:
* We actually accidentally broke something, which requires a fix commit.
* Turning on geometry randomization shows that the .blend file depends on
things it shouldn't depend on. In this case the user has to fix the file.
* We are missing geometry randomization somewhere, which requires a fix
commit.
