The `frame_offset` used for creating `TimeSamplings` when exporting was
being clamped, which would make subframe sampling potentially fail, or
get out of sync.
Both the Alembic and USD libraries use double precision floating
point numbers internally to store time. However the Alembic I/O
code defaulted to floats even though Blender's Scene FPS, which is
generally used for look ups, is stored using a double type. Such
downcasts could lead to imprecise lookups, and would cause
compilation warnings (at least on MSVC).
This modifies the Alembic exporter and importer to make use of
doubles for the current scene time, and only downcasting to float
at the very last steps (e.g. for vertex interpolation). For the
importer, doubles are also used for computing interpolation weights,
as it is based on a time offset.
Although the USD code already used doubles internally, floats were used
at the C API level. Those were replaced as well.

This patch adds color attributes to TexPaintSlot. This allows an easier selection
when painting color attributes.
Previously when selecting a paint tool the user had to start a stroke, before the
UI reflected the correct TexPaintSlot. Now when switching the slot the active
tool is checked and immediate the UI is drawn correctly.
In the future the canvas selector will also be used to select an image or image texture node
to paint on. Basic implementation has already been done inside this patch.
A limitation of this patch is that is isn't possible anymore to rename images directly from
the selection panel. This is currently allowed in master. But as CustomDataLayers
aren't ID fields and not owned by the material supporting this wouldn't be easy.
{F12953989}
In the future we should update the create slot operator to also include color attributes.
Sources could also be extended to use other areas of the object that use image textures
(particles, geom nodes, etc... ).

Avoid Blender overwriting artist's choices. The automatic change from
"Hold" (i.e. bidirectional extrapolation) to "Hold Forward" (i.e. only
extrapolate forward in time) has been removed.
This patch does not change strip evaluation. Between two strips, the
first with `None` extrapolation and the next with `Hold`, neither strip
will evaluate, which matches previous behavior. A future patch can
change the evaluation behavior.

The all_objects.blend test scene (in subversion tests repo) contained an
object with a subdivision surface. Which changes vertex positions
slightly, depending on used OpenSubDiv version and the compile flags. It
seems that the intent of the test was "test export of meshes that use
modifiers", so I changed that object to be a cube with a simple "taper"
modifier instead.
While at it, changed OBJ exporter test code to always print the
"expected and what we got" text difference details, when a test fails.
Much easier to see than just "the files are different" output. The code
to print that was behind an off by default flag for some reason.
This diff should get comitted together with updated all_objects templates
in subversion tests repo.

The problem was the original file had some vertex weight information, but the weights array was empty, so the duplication was not done and the free memory crashed.
To avoid this type of errors, now before duplicate weights the function checks the pointer and also the number of weights elements in the array to avoid the duplicatiopn of empty data.
With the increased use of multi-character format units and keyword-only
arguments these are increasingly difficult to make sense of.
Split the string onto multiple lines, one per argument.
While verbose it's easier to understand and add new arguments.
Currently, only Lightgroups that exist in the current view layer can be
selected from object or world properties.
The internal UI code already has support for search fields that accept
unknown input, so I just added that to the API and use it for lightgroups.
When a lightgroup is entered that does not exist in the current view layer
(e.g. because it's completely new, because the view layer was switched or
because it was deleted earlier), a new button next to it becomes active and
adds it to the view layer when pressed.

The mechanism to instance meshes when there are no modifiers did not take
into account that modifiers might get re-evaluated from an operator that
requests loop normals. Now check for that case and no longer use the
instance then.
In the future, a better solution may be to compute loop normals on demand
as is already done for poly and vertex normals, but that would be a big
change.

This frequently showed up in profiling but shouldn't.
This also updates the code to use atomics for more correctness and
adds multi-threading for better performance.
This implements two optimizations:
* Reduce virtual function call overhead when a non-standard virtual
array is used as input.
* Use a lambda in `type_conversion.cc`.
In my test setup, which creates a float attribute filled with the index,
the running time drops from `4.0 ms` to `2.0 ms`.

Method which overrides a base class's virtual methods are expetced to
be marked with `override`. This also gives better idea to the developers
about what is going on.
The first element of the iterator was not being tested against the flag.
So in some cases it would lead to more objects been made into
single-user than the active (or selected) ones.
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.

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.

The operator could crash in case the context "object" was overridden
from python, but the "active_object" wasnt (and the active object was
not a mesh).
Reason for the crash is a mismatch in the operators poll function
`data_transfer_poll` vs. `dt_layers_select_src_itemf` -- in the former,
the overriden "object" was respected (and if this was a mesh, the poll
was permissive), in the later it wasnt and only the "active_object" was
used (if this was not a mesh, a crash would happen trying to get an
evaluated mesh).
Now rectify how the object which is used is being fetched -> use
`ED_object_active_context` everywhere (see also rBe560bbe1d584).

This does two things:
* Introduce new `materialize_compressed` methods. Those are used
when the dst array should not have any gaps.
* Add materialize methods in various classes where they were missing
(and therefore caused overhead, because slower fallbacks had to be used).
This improves performance e.g. when creating an integer attribute
based on an index field. For 4 million vertices, I measured a speedup
from 3.5 ms to 1.2 ms.
Add the ability to get/set the selected text.
**Calling the new methods:**
- `bpy.data.texts["Text"].region_as_string()`
- `bpy.data.texts["Text"].region_from_string("Replacement")`
Expose the "Connected" mode from the weld modifier in the

If all islands had a size of zero, a division by zero would occur in
`GEO_uv_parametrizer_pack`, causing the UV coordinates to be set to
NaN. An alternative approach would be to skip packing islands with a
zero size, but If UV coordinates are for example outside the 0-1 range,
it's better if they get moved into that range.

Add "for_write" on function names that retrieve mutable data arrays.
Though this makes function names longer, it's likely worth it because
it allows more easily using the const functions in a non-const context,
and reduces cases of mistakenly retrieving with edit access.
In the long term, this situation might change more if we implement
attributes storage that is accessible directly on `CurvesGeometry`
without duplicating the attribute API on geometry components,
which is currently the rough plan.

Change uses of "Hair" in Render Settings UI in the property editor

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.
