This merges the public `uiItemS` and `uiItemS_ex` functions into an
object oriented API (`uiLayout::separator`), matching the python API.
This reduces the difference between the C++ API with the python version,
its also helps while converting code from python to C++ code
(or vice-versa), making it almost seamless.

The old name `modifier_panel_end` was not great because:
* There is no corresponding `*_begin`.
* It sounds more magical then it really is (it just draws the error message).
* It doesn't even have to be at the end as is sometimes the case when there are subpanels.

This converts the public `uiLayoutColumnWithHeading` function to an
object oriented API (an `uiLayout::column` overloaded version), matching
the python API.
Like the original `uiLayout::column`, this overloaded version now also
returns an `uiLayout` reference instead of a pointer. New calls to this
method should use references too.

- In the context of mesh extrusion, "Fill" means "Fill the rim of an
extruded edge loop" (verb).
- In the context of the file browser, it means select every file
between beginning and end.
- In the context of an image, fill the tile with generated image.
Issue reported by Hoang Duy Tran.
- Gives O(1) access to string length in more cases
- Convenient string manipulation functions
- Clarify difference between "no string" and "empty string"
- Avoid the need for raw pointers in the API
- Shows which API string arguments are optional

This commit moves generated `RNA_blender.h`, `RNA_prototype.h` and
`RNA_blender_cpp.h` headers to become C++ header files.
It also removes the now useless `RNA_EXTERN_C` defines, and just
directly use the `extern` keyword. We do not need anymore `extern "C"`
declarations here.

Because normals are calcualted lazily for all cases "depends_on_normals"
except for BMesh original normals, this is mostly unnecessary. It's actually
probably not necessary at all, because in practice there is always a separate
positions array stored in `EditMeshData` during mesh edit mode modifier
evaluation, bringing us back to the lazy calculation. But anyway, removing
the usage for topology-changing modifiers and modifiers which don't
accept BMesh as input anyway simplifies things.

This allows modifiers to have cache pointers that are preserved over undo steps.
I intend to use this for the baked data cache for the geometry nodes modifier.

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
Previously the panel type name of a modifier (e.g. "MOD_PT_Smooth") was
created by copying from the ModifierTypeInfos name.
This meant that modifiers with the same default name would use
the same identifier for the panels.
Since different object types (e.g. OB_GREASE_PENCIL and OB_MESH)
might want to use the same default modifier name, this PR introduces
an idname field in the ModifierTypeInfo struct. This is then used to
generate the panel type name.
For compatibility reasons, the idname is the same as the name for now.
Note: Because the name was used previously, this means that some
modifiers have spaces in their panel type name.
E.g. "MOD_PT_Volume to Mesh".

A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:
https://reuse.software/faq/
The goal is to solve confusion of the "All rights reserved" for licensing
code under an open-source license.
The phrase "All rights reserved" comes from a historical convention that
required this phrase for the copyright protection to apply. This convention
is no longer relevant.
However, even though the phrase has no meaning in establishing the copyright
it has not lost meaning in terms of licensing.
This change makes it so code under the Blender Foundation copyright does
not use "all rights reserved". This is also how the GPL license itself
states how to apply it to the source code:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software ...
This change does not change copyright notice in cases when the copyright
is dual (BF and an author), or just an author of the code. It also does
mot change copyright which is inherited from NaN Holding BV as it needs
some further investigation about what is the proper way to handle it.
