Use the mesh wrapper mechanism from GPU subdivision to get the base mesh.
This can significantly reduce memory usage and render setup time if the
level was not manually set to zero.

This makes it possible for Cycles adaptive subdivision to always get the
base mesh, and will enable the same for other external renderers as well.
Metal and Vulkan now support GPU subdivision, so by default the wrapper
will be used most of the time. However this can be disabled in the
preferencesas well. For those cases, the subdiv wrapper is still created
but cached immediately as part of modifier evaluation. This way it can
take advantage of multithreaded depsgraph evaluation, which is not
guaranteed for other cases.
The draw code access the object data through a wrapper that will return
either the base mesh or subdivided mesh depending if GPU subdivision is
enabled or not. Previously Object.data would have the appropriate mesh
already, but now that Cycles may do adaptive subdivision while GPU
subdivision is disabled this is no longer possible.

* Fix mesh_copy_data setting the subd wrapper type without copying the
associated tessellated mesh. It's unclear if this currently causes any
issues, but with future changes it would crash.
* Use double checked lock to avoid mutex locks on every call to
BKE_mesh_wrapper_ensure_mdata and BKE_mesh_wrapper_ensure_subdivision.
* Set wrapper type to subd also if subdivision was skipped due to bad
topology or level set to zero. Previous it would do mutex locking and
TBB task isolation on every function call.
* Add assert when BKE_mesh_wrapper_ensure_mdata changes the wrapper type
from subd to mdata. This doesn't really make any sense, it just loses
the subdivision detail. If any code relies on this we need to understand
why and maybe change it.

This patch adds a new Image Info node which returns information about
compositor images. The node has three sources:
The node returns the following information:
- Pixel Coordinates: The coordinates of the centers of the pixels in the
image. Those are essentially the integer coordinates with half pixels
offsets added.
- Texture Coordinates: Zero centered pixel coordinates normalized along
the greater dimension. Somewhat analogous to Object coordinates in
shader nodes.
- Resolution: The resolution of the image.
- Location: The location of the image in the virtual compositing space.
- Rotation: The rotation of the image in the virtual compositing space.
- Scale: The scale of the image in the virtual compositing space.
This node is very useful to allow greater flexibility and procedural
creations. For instance, coordinates can be used to create procedural
effects like vignette using very simple math nodes. And size can be used
to compute size-relative parameters for pixel-parameter nodes.

This patch adds common nodes that are used in Geometry Nodes and Shader
Nodes to the compositor. The following new nodes were added:
- Vector Math.
- Vector Rotate.
- Vector Mix.
- Value Mix.
- Clamp.
- Float Curve.
- Blackbody.
The follow nodes were replaced by common counterparts:
- Value.
- Color Ramp.
- Mix Color.
- Map Range.
- Math.
- Combine XYZ.
- Separate XYZ.
- Vector Curves.
Some new features were gained in the process:
- Mix Color can now clamp both factor and result.
- Map Range can map different types and interpolations.
- Vector Curves gained a new Factor input.
Some behaviors were changed:
- Map Range previously forcibly clamped values whose magnitude is larger
than the arbitrary value of 10000. This is no longer the case.
Some nodes were removed:
- Map Value. This was Map Range without the maximum 10000 limitation
followed by a Clamp node. Both are now available as nodes.
Some common nodes remain separate:
- Separate/Combine Color. Shader counterpart does not yet support all
color modes, and does not support alpha.
- RGB Curves. Shader variant does not support Film-Like curves or
Black/White balancing.
Texture nodes will also be added soon in a separate patch. Nodes that
were replaced are now deprecated but still exist and will later be
removed in v5.0. Backward compatibility code was introduced to convert
from the deprecated nodes to the new nodes.

Increasing the error tolerance from 1e-8 to 1e-7 guarantees convergence
before reaching oscillatory behavior. Additionally, using double
precision for all variables involved in the operation prevents
truncation errors, ensuring numerical stability.
Introducing a damping factor might fix oscillatory behavior but will
come at the cost of much more iterations, which does not seem worth it
considering that the suggested error tolerance of 1e-7 for the scale
factor translates to, at most, an error tolerance of 1e-3 for the
standard deviation in practice as can be seen by investigating the
derivative of the variance as a function of the scale factor. Such an
error will be almost impossible to notice in the context of blurring.

- Remove reference to variable in the function from the doc-string,
- Note that a non-empty marker list always returns a marker.
Some callers assumed but wasn't the case until recently, see #136059.
- Replace null check in the look with an initial assignment to ensure
a marker is always returned.
- Rename argument `x` to `frame`.
For tooltips, use typographical line breaking with hard limit for uses
of the regular font, path wrapping with hard limit for uses of the
monospaced font. Small correction to wrapping code so that hard limit
is not taken if there are optional breaking points.

Currently, no change to an RNA property invoked from the UI while inside
Weight Paint mode creates an undo step. This includes both tool
properties (e.g. brush size, tool settings) as well as mesh properties
(symmetry, active vertex group, selection mode).
This behavior was initially introduced to avoid creating extra undo
steps when painting or sculpting and changing tool settings, however,
it applied to all property changes performed while in any paint mode,
including changes to mesh datablock properties.
To fix this behavior, this commit simply removes Weight Paint from the
list of modes that have their own (legacy) undo system. This means it's
now covered by the regular memfile / global undo system.
This builds on !134548 and !134836.

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.

The PR allows specifying the method of line breaking. Current functions
gain an optional argument that defaults to "Minimal" which breaks as it
does now, only on space and line feed. "Typographical" breaks on
different types of spaces, backslashes, underscore, forward slash if
not following a number, dashes if not following a space, Chinese,
Japanese, and Korean Ideograms, and Tibetan intersyllabic marks. "Path"
breaks on space, underscore, and per-platform path separators. There is
also a "HardLimit" flag that forces breaking at character boundary at
the wrapping limit.

Regular "Save As" does not set "incremental" property, either true or
false, which results in a warning message. This PR just handles the
reading of this optional property properly by checking existence first.

Use a default case for blur type switch case, that's because adding all
types is not necessary, and I am trying to differentiate between switch
cases that need full type enumeration and those that do not.
Currently there is no python api function to assign/remove vertices to specific
vertex group. Traditional `object.vertex_groups[0].add/rna_VertexGroup_vertex_add`
didn't work, because Grease Pencil stores deform verts and vertex group
on individual drawings. Now intorduced a new function
`vertex_group_assign` and `vertex_group_remove` on `Drawing`.
Resolves#135281.
Resolves#134678.
Example (just add GP Suzanne):
```
import bpy
C = bpy.context
drawing = C.active_object.data.layers['Lines'].current_frame().drawing
drawing.vertex_group_assign(vgroup_name="Group", indices_ptr=[2, 6, 10, 18, 19, 20], weight = 0.9)
drawing.vertex_group_remove(vgroup_name="Group", indices_ptr=[2, 6, 10])

This patch formalizes the process of data updates of single values.
Previously, this was done internally in the set_single_value method, but
there was a hack in multi-function procedure code to do the same. This
patch adds a new method for single value data updates and uses it
internally in set_single_value.

Since 40eadc75be, `ED_workspace_status_text` is now called at the
beginning of the modal function.
This clears any custom keymap and redraws the status bar.
The `Edge Slide` and `Shear` operations only update the status bar if a
modal key is pressed (not on mouse move).
The solution to avoid losing custom modal keys, and not having to
update the status bar more often is: call `ED_workspace_status_text`
only when an operation that requires redraw is performed.

This reverts commit b02c83386b.
The problem has not been fully resolved (there is a glitch in the
status bar when changing operations).
A newer, even more efficient solution is on the way.
Using the knife tool with Vulkan failed because using
GPU_PRIM_POINTS isn't supported with the GPU_SHADER_3D_UNIFORM_COLOR
shader.
Resolve using a shader intended for drawing points.

Commit e9a21cf14c seems to have removed a bit too many includes, this
reverts one change, which seems to be enough to get it working again.
Will let @deadpin decide whether we keep this 'include all' header
include here, or go more refined in our includes.
This patch refactors how values of unlinked sockets are provided to
nodes. Previously, the GPU node stack values were initialized at
construction time and linked by the node's compile methods. This meant
that we needed to handle implicit conversion if the socket is linked to
an unlinked node group input.
Alternatively, we now insert a GPU setter node for each unlinked socket
that carries the value and type of the origin socket, and let the GPU
code generator do implicit conversion at the shader level. This has
three advantages:
- It makes it easier to add new types since we no longer have to handle
those types in shader node code and it reduces code duplication.
- It makes the code more inline with how we implement multi-function
procedures. So refactoring is easier.
- It opens the door to implement things like implicit inputs, which will
be needed later for things like texture nodes.
