When enabled, this normalize the strength by the light area, to keep
the total output the same regardless of shape or size. This is the
existing behavior.
This is supported in Cycles, EEVEE, Hydra, USD, COLLADA.
For add-ons, an API function to compute the area is added for conversion,
in case there is no native support for normalization.
area = light.area(matrix_world=ob.matrix_world)

Similar to other renderers, this adds a temperature property to set the
light color using blackbody emission. This can be more convenient than
using nodes, and can improve interop with other software.
This is supported in Cycles, EEVEE, Hydra, USD, COLLADA and FBX.

Similar to other renderers, this adds an exposure property to multiply
the light power by 2^exposure. This can be more convenient to control
a wide range of values.
This is supported in Cycles, EEVEE, Hydra, USD, COLLADA and FBX.

This allows users to implement arbitrary camera models using OSL by writing
shaders that take an image position as input and compute ray origin and
direction.
The obvious applications for this are e.g. panorama modes, lens distortion
models and realistic lens simulation, but the possibilities are endless.
Currently, this is only supported on devices with OSL support, so CPU and
OptiX. However, it is independent from the shading model used, so custom
cameras can be used without getting the performance hit of OSL shading.
A few samples are provided as Text Editor templates.
One notable current limitation (in addition to the limited device support)
is that inverse mapping is not supported, so Window texture coordinates and
the Vector pass will not work with custom cameras.

This adds initial support for showing logged data in closures. This is more
tricky than the other zone types, because the zone content is evaluated
elsewhere. The main new thing here is a function that attempts to find where a
given closure is evaluated statically.
Finding this place statically is also important because we generally decide
which compute contexts we want to log before evaluation starts. That's because
we don't want to log everything (which is expensive), but just the places that
the user is currently looking at.
This also changed a bunch of CMakeLists.txt files so that these modules can
include NOD_* stuff, which is generally fine everywhere in editors code.

Restriction of the nodes api to clearly define never-null function arguments.
Side effects: some assertions and null-check (with early return) were removed.
On the caller side is ensured to never derefer null to pass argument (mainly in RNA).
In addition, one pointer argument now actually a return type.
By-reference return types instead of pointers going to be separate kind of
change since also imply of cleaning up variables created from reference.
Also good future improvement would be to mark a copy-constructor as
explicit for DNA node types.

Previously we generally expected CustomData layers to have implicit
sharing info, but we didn't require it. This PR clarifies that we do
require layers with non-null data to have implicit sharing info. This
generally makes code simpler because we don't have to have a separate
code path for non-shared layers. For example, it makes the "totelem"
arguments for layer freeing functions unnecessary, since shared data
knows how to free itself. Those arguments are removed in this PR.

OpenCollada used to rely on PCRE (a Perl Regexp library). Since
switching to Aras' OpenCollada fork (#122270), the library is no
longer needed, but is still required as a dependency.
This patch cleans this up by completely removing it from our build
system and linux system package installation script. This also lets
us remove it from our pre-compiled library platform repos, making the
process of recompiling our libraries from scratch easier as it wasn't
compiled by our dependency builder anymore.

Move `Library.runtime` to be a pointer, move the related
`LibraryRuntime` struct to `BKE_library.hh`. Similar to e.g.
Mesh.runtime, that pointer is expected to always be valid, and is
allocated at readtime or when creating a new Library ID.
Related smaller changes:
* Write code now uses standard ID writing codepath for Library IDs too.
* Runtime pointer is reset to nullptr before writing.
* Looking up a library by its absolute path is now handled through a
dedicated utils, `search_filepath_abs`, instead of using
`BLI_findstring`.

Exposed by bc0b86797c
(but even before we had Asserts in a debug build -- also crashed
WITH_ASSERT_ABORT OFF)
The call to ensure Mesh data from a mesh in edit mode needs
to happen before the triangulation which uses Mesh. This gets rid of
the crash and also previous asserts.

Main goals of this refactor:
* Make it more obvious which update function should be used.
* Make it more obvious which parameters are required by using references instead
of pointers.
* Support passing in multiple modified trees instead of just a single one.
No functional changes are expected.

The new description for `bNode.type_legacy`:
```
/**
* Legacy integer type for nodes. It does not uniquely identify a node type, only the `idname`
* does that. For example, all custom nodes use #NODE_CUSTOM but do have different idnames.
* This is mainly kept for compatibility reasons.
*
* Currently, this type is also used in many parts of Blender, but that should slowly be phased
* out by either relying on idnames, accessor methods like `node.is_reroute()`.
*
* A main benefit of this integer type over using idnames currently is that integer comparison is
* much cheaper than string comparison, especially if many idnames have the same prefix (e.g.
* "GeometryNode"). Eventually, we could introduce cheap-to-compare runtime identifier for node
* types. That could mean e.g. using `ustring` for idnames (where string comparison is just
* pointer comparison), or using a run-time generated integer that is automatically assigned when
* node types are registered.

When using clangd or running clang-tidy on headers there are
currently many errors. These are noisy in IDEs, make auto fixes
impossible, and break features like code completion, refactoring
and navigation.
This makes source/blender headers work by themselves, which is
generally the goal anyway. But #includes and forward declarations
were often incomplete.
* Add #includes and forward declarations
* Add IWYU pragma: export in a few places
* Remove some unused #includes (but there are many more)
* Tweak ShaderCreateInfo macros to work better with clangd
Some types of headers still have errors, these could be fixed or
worked around with more investigation. Mostly preprocessor
template headers like NOD_static_types.h.
Note that that disabling WITH_UNITY_BUILD is required for clangd to
work properly, otherwise compile_commands.json does not contain
the information for the relevant source files.
For more details see the developer docs:

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
2f0fc7fc9f with it as well.

Currently each node's position is stored in the coordinate space of
its parent. To find the location of a node on the canvas, we have to
apply the translation of each of its parents. Also, nodes have hidden
"offset" values used while transforming frame nodes. Together,
those made the system much more complicated than necessary,
and they made the Python API ineffective.
This commit removes usage of the offset values and moves nodes
to be stored in the "global" space of the node canvas. It also resolves
some weird behavior when resizing frame nodes, and fixes a few bugs.
The change is forward compatible, so we still write files with nodes in
the old parent-space format. In 5.0 the conversion when writing can be
removed. The existing Python API also stays the same. A new
"location_absolute" property gives node locations in global space,
and changing the old property also moves the child nodes of frames.
Resolves#92458, #72904.

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.
NOTE: This also required some changes to Cycles code itself, who is now
directly including `BKE_image.hh` instead of declaring a few prototypes
of these functions in its `blender/utils.h` header (due to C++ functions
names mangling, this was not working anymore).

Follow-up to #128061, which addressed the export side of this.
This updates the Collada import code to import properly to slotted
actions.
Note that importing the animation of non-transform properties (e.g.
camera fov, material colors, lamp intensity, etc) does not work,
but that isn't caused by this PR. That was already not working at
least as far back as Blender 3.6.5.

The collada export code was directly using `action->curves` in its
export code, which doesn't work with slotted actions. This commit
updates that code to use wrapper functions that provide access to the
correct fcurves regardless of whether the action is slotted or not.
Note that the import code has not yet been updated, and is left for
a future PR.

Because we're moving to layered actions, which don't store their
fcurves in a list base, we need to update the places that assume the old
listbase-based structure.
This commit addresses the low-hanging fruit where code was previously
using the `LISTBASE_FOREACH` macro on a listbase of fcurves and it was
fairly obvious how to correctly update the code with minimal changes.
Other cases that either weren't immediately obvious or required
non-trivial code changes (or both) have been left for future PRs.
Additionally, uses of the list base that didn't use `LISTBASE_FOREACH`
were not investigated as part of this PR, whether trivial to update or
not.
