Reading curves from alembic files did not interpolate the curves between
frames, leading to incorrect motion blur. This uses the existing
`use_vertex_interpolation` flag on the MeshSequenceCache to enable the
subframe interpolation.

The main issue of 'type-less' standard C allocations is that there is no check on
allocated type possible.
This is a serious source of annoyance (and crashes) when making some
low-level structs non-trivial, as tracking down all usages of these
structs in higher-level other structs and their allocation is... really
painful.
MEM_[cm]allocN<T> templates on the other hand do check that the
given type is trivial, at build time (static assert), which makes such issue...
trivial to catch.
NOTE: New code should strive to use MEM_new (i.e. allocation and
construction) as much as possible, even for trivial PoD types.

WM_report was originally added for special cases however new code
has been using this in operators for example, where reports should be
sent to the operator via BKE_report, so the caller can handle,
and so Python can catch the errors.
Rename the functions to make them less easily confused with BKE_report
and add a code-comment on why their use should be avoided.
The Alembic file in the issue had 0 points, and 4 widths, defined for
frame 33 which is certainly incorrect from whichever software produced
said file. However, our import code should have proper guards in place
to more gracefully handle the situation.

The general idea is to keep the 'old', C-style MEM_callocN signature, and slowly
replace most of its usages with the new, C++-style type-safer template version.
* `MEM_cnew<T>` allocation version is renamed to `MEM_callocN<T>`.
* `MEM_cnew_array<T>` allocation version is renamed to `MEM_calloc_arrayN<T>`.
* `MEM_cnew<T>` duplicate version is renamed to `MEM_dupallocN<T>`.
Similar templates type-safe version of `MEM_mallocN` will be added soon
as well.
Following discussions in !134452.
NOTE: For now static type checking in `MEM_callocN` and related are slightly
different for Windows MSVC. This compiler seems to consider structs using the
`DNA_DEFINE_CXX_METHODS` macro as non-trivial (likely because their default
copy constructors are deleted). So using checks on trivially
constructible/destructible instead on this compiler/system.

Use Blender Containers in the AbstractHierarchyIterator system. A future
bug fix in the area is looking like it will require another map so it
seems like a good time to replace the old containers before that lands.
The conversion is complicated due to how the prior code leveraged
`operator[]` to both add and update entries; it was never clear which
operation was being performed. This leads to a somewhat confusing mix
of `add_new`, `add`, and `lookup_or_add` calls. The calls in place now
are what was required based on our existing tests.
Additionally, pointer stability guarantees were a little bit different,
affecting the usage of the `graph_children` function the most.

These were reading in "widths" and not adjusting the values when setting
Blender's "radius" properties.
Found while cleaning up the radius API usage as part of another change.

Though "Point Cloud" written as two words is technically correct and should be used in the UI, as one word it's typically easier to write and parse when reading. We had a mix of both before this patch, so better to unify this as well.
This commit also renames the editor/intern/ files to remove pointcloud_ prefix.
point_cloud was only preserved on the user facing strings:
* is_type_point_cloud
* use_new_point_cloud_type

In order to better interop with the broader Alembic/USD ecosystem, align
the crease values we export with what we believe is expected by native
OpenSubdiv, a 0-10 range.
On import we will translate the native OpenSubdiv range back into
Blender's 0-1 range.
To account for SubD assets produced by Blender before this change, a
compat check is put in place for both Alembic and USD to use the old
methodology when encountering such files. The compat check makes use
of the Blender version we place inside the format's metadata fields. Old
assets loaded into a new Blender will look ok. New assets loaded into an
old Blender would need to be reworked.

* Some libraries like Alembic and OpenColorIO for a long time removed
header dependencies on Boost.
* No need to have BOOST_LIBRARIES anymore, only BOOST_PYTHON_LIBRARIES
is a direct dependency through USD headers.
* OpenVDB is no longer a static library, no need to link its dependencies.

This caused build errors on the docs builder, I can't seem to reproduce
locally, so revert for now and have another look at some point in the
future.
Sadly as these changes usually go, this took 5c515e26bb and

Conversion from [0-1] float value ranges to [0-255] integer char ones
was left in Alembic importer, when the internal Blender storage for
these values was converted from a char in the old `MEdge` struct to a
regular float attribute.
These are converted on startup to the new type. There are still
some references left, mostly where it looked like there still needs
to be changes to properly deal with the new object type.
Previously, some places used `curves.points_num() == 0` some other
places `curves.curves_num() == 0` to check if the geometry is empty.
Rather than having these two ways, add an `is_empty()` function
that replaces all these different checks.
Also update the curves geometry tests to use this function.

This introduces the concept of an #AttributeFilter. It's used to tell a geometry
algorithm which attributes it should process/propagate and which can be ignored.
We already had something similar before named
`AnonymousAttributePropagationInfo`. However, as the name implies, this was
specific to anonymous attributes. This had some downsides:
* A lot of code had to be aware of the concept of anonymous attributes even if
it did nothing special with anonymous attributes.
* For non-anonymous attributes we often had a separate `Set<std::string> skip`
parameter. It's not nice to have to pass two kinds of filters around and to
have to construct a `Set<std::string>` in many cases.
`AttributeFilter` solves both of these downsides.
Technically, `AttributeFilter` could also just be a `FunctionRef<bool(StringRef
attribute_name)>`, but that also has some issues:
* The `bool` return value is often ambiguous, i.e. it's not clear if it means
that the attribute should be processed or not. Using an enum works better.
* Passing function refs around and combining them works, but can very easily
lead to dangling references.
* The default value of a `FunctionRef` is "empty", i.e. it can't be called. It's
generally more nice to not have a special case for the default value. Now the
default `AttributeFilter` propagates all attributes without any extra handling
on the call-site.

Provide an appropriate fallback during Import of some incorrect Alembic
curve data and write out valid data during our Export as well.
The buggy file in question has 2 problems:
- The curve data is marked as being `kVariableOrder` but provides no
actual `order` data. This is invalid according to Alembic code [1]
- The curve data is also marked as being `kBezierBasis` but the actual
values are most likely not bezier judging from how many elements are
in each curve array
This PR focuses on the first problem and allows the file to load
"correctly" - or at least as correctly as it did prior to Blender 4.2.
If we encounter such a file, we will fallback to interpreting the data
as linear POLY curves. It also ensures that we only use `kVariableOrder`
when needed during Export.

Match function and declaration names, picking names based on
consistency with related code & clarity.
Also changes for old conventions, missed in previous cleanups:
- name -> filepath
- tname -> newname
- maxlen -> maxncpy
This continues the cmake modernization effort and introduces support for
allowing our optional dependencies to integrate properly. TBB is added
here as it's proven troublesome to maintain correctly.
Currently the only Blender project which uses the TBB headers directly
is `blenlib`. However, all downstream projects which require blenlib as
their dependency, and wish to properly make use of its threading
facilities, needed to define various TBB items in their CMake files. Not
only is this unnecessary and arcane, but several projects didn't do this
and ended up not using threading as well as producing ODR violations
along the way[1].
This PR makes TBB a modern dependency and exposes it PUBLIC'ly from
`blenlib`. All downstream projects which depend on blenlib will now
receive everything they require from TBB automatically. This includes
the `WITH_TBB` define, the headers, and the library itself.

The `WITH_TBB` define needs to be set in order for code using the
various parallel threading helpers [1][2] to actually be multi-threaded.
The affected projects did not have `WITH_TBB` defined and were using the
single-thread variant of all affected APIs.
Additionally, in the case of `EnumerableThreadSpecific`, this results in
an ODR violation where there are 2 versions of the same class linked
into our final binary. One with TBB members and one without.

Similar to !124267 and !124261
This normal data is eventually passed into `BKE_mesh_set_custom_normals`
and through to `mesh_normals_corner_custom_set` which expects normals to
actually be normalized per its documentation.
Not doing so would yield meshes with incorrect "sharp" data for affected
edges.

The callback-based identification was introduced before job types were added in
7b60529517. The job type should be a more predictable/sane way to identify jobs
that should be exclusive. Using anything else is confusing and non-obvious from
the API usage side. In fact it really confused me when working on #123027.
Checked all existing jobs to make sure behavior is unchanged. Found
two issues:
- `WM_JOB_TYPE_OBJECT_SIM_FLUID` is used for both
`fluid_bake_startjob()` and `fluid_free_startjob()`. It makes sense to
me that they would be exclusive though, so leaving it this way
(meaning they are exclusive now).
- Alembic and USD job types were reused, split them up now to not change
behavior.

The attribute API defined in `attribute.cc` was dependent on
the assumption that `ID`s are always the "direct" owners of attributes.
For Grease Pencil drawings, this is not the case. The Grease Pencil ID
stores the attributes for layers, and the attributes for drawings are stored
in `CurvesGeometry` on the drawings themselves.
In order to make use of `rna_attribute.cc`, we need that API to handle
other types of attribute owners.
This adds an `AttributeOwner` which is basically just a type and a
pointer. We replace the `ID` pointers and pass `AttributeOwner`s instead.
For cases where we have to do a switch based on the type, all the
types are handled and the `default` statment is left out. This ensures
that we get a compiler warning when a new `AttributeOwnerType`
is added.
No functional changes expected.
