This extends the `GreasePencilDrawing` rna type using python.
The goal is to add an API that allows developers to transition to
the new grease pencil API a bit more smoothly.
Adds the following endpoints to the `GreasePencilDrawing`:
* `drawing.strokes`: Returns a list/slice of `GreasePencilStroke`s in the drawing.
Adds a python class `GreasePencilStroke`:
* `stroke.points`: Returns a list/slice of `GreasePencilStrokePoint`s.
* Getters/Setters of attributes for this stroke:
* `stroke.cyclic`
* `stroke.material_index`
* `stroke.select`
* `stroke.softness` (used to be `hardness`)
* `stroke.start_cap`
* `stroke.end_cap`
* `stroke.curve_type`: The type of curve: `POLY`,`BEZIER`,`CATMULL_ROM`,`NURBS`.
* `stroke.aspect_ratio`
* `stroke.fill_opacity`
* `stroke.fill_color`
* `stroke.time_start`
* High-level functions:
* `stroke.add_points(count)`: Adds `count` points at the end of the stroke.
* `stroke.remove_points(count)`: Removes `count` points from the end of the stroke. Note that this will not remove the stroke if the count is greater than the number of points in the stroke. A stroke has at least 1 point. Removing strokes can be done from the drawing.
Adds a python class `GreasePencilStrokePoint`:
* Getters/Setters of attributes for this point:
* `position`
* `radius`
* `opacity`
* `select`
* `vertex_color`
* `rotation`
* `delta_time`
Note that `GreasePencilStroke` and `GreasePencilStrokePoint` are not stored in the file and don't have an RNA API. This means that they are not compatible with e.g. `layout.prop`.
This API should not be used for performance critical code. It's likely
even slower than the python API from 4.2.
There will be migration documentation for addon developers here:

This commit adds a new cmake variable `WITH_CYCLES_TEST_OSL`
that runs every Cycles test a second time with OSL enabled.
At the moment only CPU OSL is enabled. There are plans to enable
OptiX OSL in the future when stability issues with OptiX OSL
have been resolved.
Some render tests have been blocked from running until we can figure
out a fix. The most notiable being all the Pricincipled BSDF tests
as some of them are failing due to noise differences.

While adding test coverage for mesh subdivision surface scenarios, a few
problems were noticed with vertex crease support.
This PR fixes:
- Used incorrect `crease_sharpnesses` instead of `corner_sharpnesses`
- Used incorrect value for an "infinitely sharp" vertex crease
- Unnecessarily wrote out Blender's `crease_vert` attribute as a primvar
Tests are added which validate everything we support.

The mesh velocity data was not using the UsdUtilsSparseValueWriter and
was writing out data for all frames even if the velocity didn't change.
Adds test coverage for this scenario as well as other situations where a
MeshSequenceCache (MSC) would be required:
- Ensures that when positions vary a MSC is added
- Ensures that when velocities vary a MSC is added (see blender/blender@c862d40e09)
- Ensures that when attributes vary a MSC is added (see blender/blender@3c394d39f2)

This changes the behavior when deleting the last key of an FCurve on layered actions.
Previously the FCurve would continue to exist, whereas now it is deleted.
This makes it consistent with legacy actions.
I modified the "Clear Keyframes" operator in this PR as well to make it work with layered actions.

Add an Action Slot selector to the Action editor's header, next to the
Action selector. The selector shows all slots in the action that are
suitable for animating objects (as the Action editor itself is limited
to showing the Action of the active object).
This also considerably simplifies the 'Animation Debug' panel, as some
debugging code has been removed, as well as the display of any animation
layers. The latter can be reintroduced (if necessary) when multi-layer
animation support is added. Most importantly, it removes the
WindowManager property that was used as a hack to assign layered Actions
to objects.
API change: the RNA property `AnimData.slot` is now a pointer property
that reflects the actual slot (it used to be an enum property).
Some small changes to the UI code were necessary to make the selector
show the slot's display name (and not their internal name).

These functions can now be called on layered Actions:
- `action.fcurves.new(data_path, array_index)`
- `action.fcurves.find(data_path, array_index)`
- `action.fcurves.remove(fcurve)`
- `action.fcurves.clear()`
These will operate on the first keyframe strip (searching layers bottom
to top), and then its channelbag for the first slot.
If necessary, `fcurves.new()` will create the layer, keyframe strip,
channelbag, and slot.
This backward compatibility layer only kicks in if either of these is
true:
- The Action is empty AND the experimental flag is enabled, or
- The Action already has a layer or a slot (i.e. is already considered
'layered').
If none of these conditions hold, `action.fcurves` just gives access to
the legacy data.

This commit changes the keying code to deselect keyframes when inserting new keys.
This has been discussed in the Animation & Rigging module meeting [1].
There is also an RCS post about that [2].
Doing this brings key creation in line with object creation,
where only the newly created object is selected.
There has been a previous attempt [3] to do a similar thing.
### Changes
When inserting keys by pressing `I` in the viewport or choosing a keying set,
all keys of the `Action` get deselected before inserting new keys.
New keys are selected by default.
Python RNA functions are **NOT** affected, meaning addons using
those functions will not deselect any keys by default.
The developer has to choose to do so.
To make that easier, there is a new RNA function on the action
`deselect_keys`

Add a option to ignore Cycles render test black list, controlled via
BLENDER_TEST_IGNORE_BLOCKLIST environment variable.
Useful for testing to see if anything is seriously broken in a test
that's black listed. (E.g. See if some particle rendering tests are
seriously broken on the GPU)
It would be recommened that this be used to test GPU compiler updates.
Or the enablement of certain features like custom curve rendering on
custom BVH.

Increase fail threshold for tests with platform
dependent noise.
Blacklist `principled_thinfilm_transmission` as
the IOR is very small and isn't packed to the GBuffer
with the same precision on every platform.
Rename "Animation data-block" to "Action" or "Layered Action", where
appropriate. Some uses of the term actually refer to the `AnimData`
struct, in which case they were left as-is.
No real functional changes, just changing some messages & descriptions.

Rename 'Binding' to 'Slot'. The old term was causing all kind of
confusion, and 'slot' was considered to be a better term for the
intended functionality.
This commit breaks existing blend files that were using the new layered
Action for their animation. The animation data will be lost due to the
rename, as there is no versioning code or DNA renaming logic. At this
time the new system is still marked as experimental, so shouldn't be
used for anything serious anyway.

Previously add-ons were sorted by category & name, remove the category
only sorting by name since the category is no longer displayed and
isn't part of extension meta-data. Now the add-ons are sorted by name
(case insensitive).
Details:
- Store add-ons modules sorted to avoid having to sort on every redraw.
- addon_utils.modules() now returns an iterator.
Add an export test to cover some simple animation scenarios that would
have protected against recent bugs:

Currently the mesh boolean code is producing a different index order on the latest
version of XCode on macOS. This is proving very difficult to investigate, and it's
preventing developers from spending time on more important things.
As a compromise for now, allow configuring certain geometry nodes tests to make
meshes with a different index order still pass the test. This can be done by adding
a boolean custom property with the name `allow_index_change` to the test object
and setting it to "True". Allow the index change on different platforms is unfortunate,
spending time on working on a replacement exact boolean algorithm is a more
valuable use of time currently.
After this commit lands, someone who can reproduce the failing test on their
computer should update tests to include that custom property as necessary.

Allow assigning integer values beyond int32 range to float/double
IDProperties. Extract the py object value into a temporary int64 value
in these cases.
All IDProperties generated as part of 'storage backend' for dynamic RNA
properties are now statically typed.
Also adds some basic unittests for the new statically typed IDProperty
system, based on py-defined RNA data.
Ref. #122743.
Just for the `pyrna_struct_keyframe_insert()` function, reduce the
reporting level of keyframe insertion failures from `RPT_ERROR` to
`RPT_WARNING`. This prevents the conversion of these reports to a Python
exception.
`CombinedKeyingResult::generate_reports()` now accepts an option
argument `report_level`, so that the caller is in control over the type
of reports it generates.
Previously only errors were converted to exceptions; warnings were
implicitly cleared and never displayed. To avoid these 'keyframe
insertion failure' reports from becoming invisible, the
`pyrna_struct_keyframe_insert()` function now sends any warnings to
stdout (unless there were errors, in which case the old
error-to-exception behaviour is still there).

Add (partially disabled) systematic tests that for all IDProp types, the
returned value from direct idprop subscription and RNA-based
`path_resolve` return the same data.
NOTE: This does not work currently for 'composite' types (`IDP_ARRAY` and
`IDP_GROUP`).
The add-on load test could fail depending on add-ons in user extension
repositories.
Remove all repositories before running the tests.
Also minor naming & comment edits.
This change adds the ability to export MaterialX networks into the resulting
USD layer.
Details:
A new export option has been added to the USD export to enable MaterialX
export. It is off by default currently due to reasons in the caveats
section.
When enabled, it exports the MaterialX shading network alongside the
UsdPreviewSurface network, on the same USD Material. This allows the same
material to be used by renderers that don't support MaterialX, using the
USDPreviewSurface as a fallback. This is similar to setups in other DCC
packages, and matches the format we've used in our Reality Composer Pro
asset library.
It uses the existing MaterialX framework used to generate MaterialX
documents for rendering, to act as the basis for the USD graph. In this
process it also re-uses the existing texture export code as well if provided
and necessary.
Once the MaterialX document is created, use usdMtlx to generate a USD
shading network. Unfortunately, usdMtlx generates a graph that is unlike
what other DCCs that support MaterialX-embedded-in-USD generates. It
generates several extra prim hierarchies, and externalizes all shader
inputs, making them difficult to edit in other MaterialX graph editors.
To workaround this, generate the MaterialX shading network onto a
temporary stage, where we then run various pre-processing steps to prevent
prim collisions and to reflow the paths once they're converted.
The PrimSpecs are then copied over to their new path. The resulting prim
hierarchy matches what many artists we've worked with prefer to work with.
Caveats:
The Export MaterialX check is off by default. When using the Principled
BSDF, the resulting graph is very usable. However, when using some of the
other BSDFs, the shading networks generated by the existing MaterialX
framework in Blender generate some shading graphs that are difficult for
usdview and other DCC's to understand. The graph is still correct, but
because we're trying to prioritize compatibility, the default is off.
In future PRs we can aim to make the graphs for those other BSDFs play
better with other DCCs.
Other Implementation Details:
As part of this commit we've also done the following:
* Place some of the materialx graphs inside a passthrough nodegraph to
avoid node conflicts.
* Better handle some shader output types , and better handle some
conflict cases.
* Moved the ExportTextureFunction to materials.h due to some difficult
to resolve header ordering issues. This has no effect on any runtime code.
* There is a test for the MaterialX export that does some basic checking to
make sure we get an export out the other end that matches our expectations
Authored by Apple: Dhruv Govil
This PR is based on an earlier implementation by Brecht van Lommel , as well
as Brian Savery and his teams' work at AMD to implement the general
MaterialX framework within Blender.
