With this commit, curve objects support the geometry nodes modifier.
Curves objects now evaluate to `CurveEval` unless there was a previous
implicit conversion (tessellating modifiers, mesh modifiers, or the
settings in the curve "Geometry" panel). In the new code, curves are
only considered to be the wire edges-- any generated surface is a mesh
instead, stored in the evaluated geometry set.
The consolidation of concepts mentioned above allows remove a lot of
code that had to do with maintaining the `DispList` type temporarily
for modifiers and rendering. Instead, render engines see a separate
object for the mesh from the mesh geometry component, and when the
curve object evaluates to a curve, the `CurveEval` is always used for
drawing wire edges.
However, currently the `DispList` type is still maintained and used as
an intermediate step in implicit mesh conversion. In the future, more
uses of it could be changed to use `CurveEval` and `Mesh` instead.
This is mostly not changed behavior, it is just a formalization of
existing logic after recent fixes for 2.8 versions last year and two
years ago. Also, in the future more functionality can be converted
to nodes, removing cases of implicit conversions. For more discussion
on that topic, see T89676.
The `use_fill_deform` option is removed. It has not worked properly
since 2.62, and the choice for filling a curve before or after
deformation will work much better and be clearer with a node system.
Applying the geometry nodes modifier to generate a curve is not
implemented with this commit, so applying the modifier won't work
at all. This is a separate technical challenge, and should be solved
in a separate step.

Recently we have decided to avoid fancier versioning for nodes with
string inputs for attribute names when updating the attribute workflow
for 3.0. In that case we would just duplicate any node that will
have an updated version to work with fields.
We want to be able to use the "proper" ID names for the new versions
of the nodes though, so this patch adds "Legacy" to the IDs of all
nodes that will be replaced in 3.0. This commit also removes the nodes
from the add menu when the fields experimental preference is enabled,
in order to make it clear what has been updated and what hasn't.
Nodes in the "Maybe" categories in versioning_300.c can be renamed
later if necessary. For now it's probably better to be conservative,
and to keep the list complete.

This implements the initial core framework for fields and anonymous
attributes (also see T91274).
The new functionality is hidden behind the "Geometry Nodes Fields"
feature flag. When enabled in the user preferences, the following
new nodes become available: `Position`, `Index`, `Normal`,
`Set Position` and `Attribute Capture`.
Socket inspection has not been updated to work with fields yet.
Besides these changes at the user level, this patch contains the
ground work for:
* building and evaluating fields at run-time (`FN_fields.hh`) and
* creating and accessing anonymous attributes on geometry
(`BKE_anonymous_attribute.h`).
For evaluating fields we use a new so called multi-function procedure
(`FN_multi_function_procedure.hh`). It allows composing multi-functions
in arbitrary ways and supports efficient evaluation as is required by
fields. See `FN_multi_function_procedure.hh` for more details on how
this evaluation mechanism can be used.
A new `AttributeIDRef` has been added which allows handling named
and anonymous attributes in the same way in many places.
Hans and I worked on this patch together.

The panning angle allows a more intuitive panning when the output is
surround sound. It sets the angle on the horizontal plane around the
listener. 0 degrees is to the front, negative values go to the left and
positive ones to the right. +/-180 degrees is directly from the back.
Technical detail: the panning value is linear with the panning angle
with a factor of 90 degrees. For stereo this means that -1 is left and
+1 right, since the speakers are exactly 90 degrees to either side.

I remember when we originally decided on the Dimensions panel,
one of the reasons we combined time and image size properties in the same panel,
was simply because the 2.49 and previous UIs used fixed-size panels,
so we often put two categories of properties inside a panel, using two columns.
Now that we no longer do this, we could clarify and simplify some panels

Allow the UDIM grid to be shown and adjusted when there are images

This patch does the following:
- Allows the grid to be shown even when images are present
- The max allowable dimensions for the grid has been increased from
10x10 to 10x100 to match the underlying maximum UDIM range that blender
supports
Note: This should not affect other Image editor modes like Paint/Mask or

This commit fixes the custom property edit operator for the the case of
editing group properties. Currently this isn't supported very well, the
data is converted to a string, but the operator shouldn't fail anyway.
This allows editing properties created like this:
C.object['abuse'] = {'parent' : ['child1', 'child2']}
These changes reflect some issues with the design of the operator.
Requiring guessing the type of the data does not work well at all, and
makes code more complicated. In the future this operator can be updated
to use a type drop-down.

The storage of IDProperty UI data (min, max, default value, etc) is
quite complicated. For every property, retrieving a single one of these
values involves three string lookups. First for the "_RNA_UI" group
property, then another for a group with the property's name, then for
the data value name. Not only is this inefficient, it's hard to reason
about, unintuitive, and not at all self-explanatory.
This commit replaces that system with a UI data struct directly in the
IDProperty. If it's not used, the only cost is of a NULL pointer. Beyond
storing the description, name, and RNA subtype, derived structs are used
to store type specific UI data like min and max.
Note that this means that addons using (abusing) the `_RNA_UI` custom
property will have to be changed. A few places in the addons repository
will be changed after this commit with D9919.
**Before**
Before, first the _RNA_UI subgroup is retrieved the _RNA_UI group,
then the subgroup for the original property, then specific UI data
is accessed like any other IDProperty.
```
prop = rna_idprop_ui_prop_get(idproperties_owner, "prop_name", create=True)
prop["min"] = 1.0
```
**After**
After, the `id_properties_ui` function for RNA structs returns a python
object specifically for managing an IDProperty's UI data.
```
ui_data = idproperties_owner.id_properties_ui("prop_name")
ui_data.update(min=1.0)
```
In addition to `update`, there are now other functions:
- `as_dict`: Returns a dictionary of the property's UI data.
- `clear`: Removes the property's UI data.
- `update_from`: Copy UI data between properties,
even if they have different owners.

Delay is useful when scrolling through long lists, such as in the

The lower scroll speed here makes a faster response the better option.
- Zoom influence feature:
Somewhat slower scrolling in UI-space when zoomed out. With the 0.5
zoom influence factor nodes behave as if zoom factor is halved,
otherwise it gets too fast when zoomed out. Previously scrolling would

All the here added operators are intended to work exactly like the

a constraint as if it was first in the list, just like modifiers do. I
have added the same warning message as for modifiers when that happens.
The decision to use this approach of appling the constraint as if it was
first, was made for consistency with modifiers. People are already used
to how it works there. Is also provides more intricate control over the
applied transforms, then just applying all constraints up to that one.
Apply all constraints is already kinda implemented in Bake Animation.

Idea for 3.0 is to disable all functionality that isn't well polished
and focus on those parts first. Starting with poses.
* Adds a new experimental option "Extended Asset Browser", replacing
"Asset Browser".
* Unlike the previous option, this isn't enabled by default anymore.
This didn't work well in practice and caused plenty of confusion.
* "Mark as Asset" and "Clear Asset" are hidden if the option is
disabled.
* Same for the category selection in the Asset Browser.
* Always show display the "Only Assets" option in the File Browser while
browing inside .blend files. That way you can hide data-blocks that
are not pose assets.
* The Asset Library setup UI in the Preferences is always visible now,

Right clicking would spawn the context menu under the cursor, but some
operators would actually act on the active asset/file which wasn't
the one clicked on.
When multiple files are selected and one of them is right-clicked on,
selection is not changed to allow operations on multiple files. E.g.
deletion.
This makes the File/Asset Browser match the Outliner (in behavior, not
implementation).
For the right-click selection keymap:
* The context menu still only spawns on W.
* Bonus: Right click now does something, it actually selects files!
I could have done additional changes here to avoid this, but it seems
like a good addition.
This is also a better alternative to rB5edfde58fe60, which didn't work
