Due to changes in the build environment shader_builder wasn't able to
compile on macOs. This patch reverts several recent changes to CMake files.
* dbb2844ed9
* 94817f64b9
* 1b6cd937ff
The idea is that in the near future shader_builder will run on the buildbot as
part of any regular build to ensure that changes to the CMake doesn't break
shader_builder and we only detect it after a few days.

Move the contents of `ANIM_bone_collections.h` into its C++
`ANIM_bone_collections.hh` sibling. Blender is C++ by now that we can do
without the C header.
No functional changes.
`GroupNodeComputeContext` is the more correct name because it's
specifically about a group node that invokes another node tree.
The old name makes it sound like it should be used because a node group
is invoked but does not tell anything about what invoked it.
For example, the current context in a node group can also be a
`ModifierComputeContext` if that's what invoked it.
Previously, the geometry nodes modifier was converting the
viewer path to a compute context at the same time as it was
setting up side effect nodes for the geometry nodes evaluation.
Now, this is changed to be a two step process. First, the viewer
path is converted to the corresponding compute context.
Afterwards, a separate function sets side effect nodes up so
that the given node in the given compute context will be evaluated.
This has three main benefits:
* More obvious separation of concerns.
* Can reuse the code that maps a viewer path element to a compute
context already.
* With gizmo nodes (#112677), it may become necessary to add side
effect nodes based on a compute context, but without having a
corresponding viewer path.
Previously, it was only possible to inspect the data from the first iteration. That
applied to both, the viewer node as well as socket inspection. Now, there is a
new `Inspection Index` setting in the zone properties. It specifies which iteration
should be used by the inspection features.
In theory we could support features like counting the index from the end, but
that can be done separately as well, as it likely requires more UI.

This PR fixes an issue with the NVIDIA 3000/4000 series cards. The cause
might be that when blending is turned off and the fragment output has an alpha
of 0.0 the fragment might be discarded. This is a guess of course.
By setting the Alpha to 1.0 for scopes and enabling alpha blending when
drawing the meta data text seems to fix the issue.

The goal is to make the search faster to use by dynamically adapting to the user.
This can be achieved using the simple but common approach of showing recently
selected items at the top. Note, that the "matching score" between the query and
each search item still has precedence when determining the order. So the last used
item is only at the top, if there is no other search item that matches the query better.
Besides making the search generally faster to use, my hope is that this can also
reduce the need for manually weighting search items in some places. This is
because while the ordering might not be perfect the first time, it will always be
once the user selected the element that should be at the top once.
This patch includes:
* Support for taking recent searches into account in string searching.
* Keep track of a global list of recent searches.
* Store recent searches on disk similar to recently opened files.
* A new setting in the user preferences that allows disabling the functionality.
This can be used if deterministic key strokes are required, e.g. for automated tests.
In the future this could be improved in different ways:
* Add some kind of separator in the search list to indicate which elements are at
the top because they have been used recently.
* Store the recent search items per search, instead of in a global list. This way
it could adapt to the user even better.

- rna_Event_unicode_length would return -1 if utf8_buf wasn't a valid
unicode sequence, while this shouldn't happen, assert and return zero
instead of returning a bad length.
- Move comment on wmEvent::utf8_buf null termination to a doc-string.
There were enough cases of callers ignoring a potential the error value,
using the column width for e.g. to calculate pixel sizes, or the size in
bytes to calculate buffer offsets.
Since text fields & labels can include characters that return an error
from BLI_str_utf8_as_unicode, add the suffix to make this explicit.
Replace use_handles with an enum that optionally uses handles
except when the vertex (knot) is selected in which case it behaves
as if both handles are selected.
Needed for nurb curves not to change handle type when only the
center point is selected (as is done in the graph editor).
No functional changes.
Implements part of #111538.
Change the modifier add button to create a menu with submenus.
Extend the submenus dynamically with geometry node group assets.
This makes it much simpler to share and use custom modifiers.
Node groups get a new "Is Modifier" property, which is controllable
in a popover in the node editor header when the group is an asset.
The built in modifier can be rearranged in different categories in
a next step. For now the existing organization is used, except for
the geometry nodes modifier, which is called "Empty Modifier" and
put in the root menu.
The changes in !110855 and !110828 will be important to improve
interaction speed with the new UI. Those are planned for 4.0 as well.

Previously, BKE level preview image code was in `BKE_icons.h` and `icons.hh`.
While these types are related, I always found this quite hard to navigate since
preview image stuff was just in the middle of icon functions. Plus, people
don't expect preview image functions in icon files, the relationship is not
obvious.
Instead, use focused files that make it easy to quickly navigate them
and see what they are dealing with.

The hash tables and vector blenlib headers were pulling many more
headers than they actually need, including the C base math header,
our C string API header, and the StringRef header. All of this
potentially slows down compilation and polutes autocomplete
with unrelated information.
Also remove the `ListBase` constructor for `Vector`. It wasn't used
much, and making it easy to use `ListBase` isn't worth it for the
same reasons mentioned above.
It turns out a lot of files depended on indirect includes of
`BLI_string.h` and `BLI_listbase.h`, so those are fixed here.

If this is not a system override, this leads to the override actually
being reset (which might affect the 3Dview and most probably affects the
Properties Editor).
Now use the same modifiers as used elsewhere for resetting a library
override.

When using a slider it is possible to enter numbers for an exact value
However that input was capped between 0 and 1,
which is no longer correct since the range can be arbitrary.
Additionally it was divided by 100 because the slider
operator system assumed we'd be working with percentages.
This fixes both of these issues.

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.
With the end goal of simplifying ownership and memory management,
and allowing the use of `get_name` in contexts without statically
allocated strings, use `std::string` for the return values of these two
operator type callbacks instead of `const char *` and `char *`.
In the meantime things get uglier in some places. I'd expect `std::string`
to be used more in the future elsewhere in Blender though.

`OperatorType.get_name` callback is supposed to return strings directly
usable in the UI, i.e. translated if needed.
Several callbacks did not, noticiably the generic
`ED_select_pick_get_name` and `ED_select_circle_get_name` ones.
And the `sculpt_color_filter_get_name` was not using available RNA
helpers for enum items has it should have.
Finally, `RNA_property_enum_name_gettexted` and
`RNA_property_enum_item_from_value_gettexted` were also not using the
optimal higher-level translation API.
Noticed while reviewing !110776.
Using ClangBuildAnalyzer on the whole Blender build, it was pointing
out that BLI_math.h is the heaviest "header hub" (i.e. non tiny file
that is included a lot).
However, there's very little (actually zero) source files in Blender
that need "all the math" (base, colors, vectors, matrices,
quaternions, intersection, interpolation, statistics, solvers and
time). A common use case is source files needing just vectors, or
just vectors & matrices, or just colors etc. Actually, 181 files
were including the whole math thing without needing it at all.
This change removes BLI_math.h completely, and instead in all the
places that need it, includes BLI_math_vector.h or BLI_math_color.h
and so on.
Change from that:
- BLI_math_color.h was included 1399 times -> now 408 (took 114.0sec
to parse -> now 36.3sec)
- BLI_simd.h 1403 -> 418 (109.7sec -> 34.9sec).
Full rebuild of Blender (Apple M1, Xcode, RelWithDebInfo) is not
affected much (342sec -> 334sec). Most of benefit would be when
someone's changing BLI_simd.h or BLI_math_color.h or similar files,
that now there's 3x fewer files result in a recompile.
Pull Request #110944
The text used to be centered around a point left of the slider line
with the assumption that it displays a number from 0-1 and "%"
With the ability to set the unit name, this assumption is no longer true,
and if setting a long name (like "Frames" in #110540) the text overlaps the slider line
By right aligning the text on the left side of the slider, this overlap cannot happen anymore.

First implementation of node previews in the shader node editor. Using
the same user interface as compositor node previews, most shader nodes
can now be previewed (except group in/output and material output).
This is currently still an experimental feature, as polishing of the
user experience and performance improvements are planned. These will
be easier to do as incremental changes on this implementation.
See #110353 for details on the work that remains to be done and known
limitations.
Implementation notes:
We take advantage of the `RenderResult` available as `ImBuf` images to
store a `Render` for every viewed nested node tree present in a
`SpaceNode`. The computation is initiated at the moment of drawing nodes
overlays.
One render is started for the current nodetree, having a `ViewLayer`
associated with each previewed node. We separate the previewed nodes in
two categories: the shader ones and the non-shader ones.
- For non-shader nodes, we use AOVs which highly speed up the rendering
process by rendering every non-shader nodes at the same time. They are
rendered in the first `ViewLayer`.
- For shader nodes, we render them each in a different `ViewLayer`, by
rerouting the node to the output of the material in the preview scene.
The preview scene takes the same aspect as the Material preview scene,
and the same preview object is used.
At the moment of drawing the node overlay, we take the `Render` of the
viewed node tree and extract the `ImBuf` of the wanted viewlayer/pass
for each previewed node.

Add an API for armature layer access. Instead of accessing `arm->layer`
and friends directly, the code now uses this API. This will make things
easier to replace by bone collections in the future.
The functions are named "bonecoll" (short for "bone collection"), as
that's the soon-to-be-introduced replacement for armature layers. This
API is the first step towards that replacement, and should help to
reduce the changes necessary when functional changes are committed.
This also creates a new module `source/blender/animrig` for Animation &
Rigging code. This will, for example, house the bone collection system
in the near future.
There is a bunch of code currently spread across blenkernel and editors
in a rather ad-hoc way; it is intended that at some point that code gets
moved into `animrig` as well (or at least the subset of that code where
such a move makes sense; brain still required).
Ref: #108941
No functional changes.
The cleanup of blenkernel last weeks , caused the house of cards to
collapse on top of bf_gpu's shader_builder, which is off by default
but used on a daily basis by the rendering team.
Given the fixes forward in #110394 ran into a ODR violation in OSL that
was hiding there for years, I don't see another way forward without
impeding the rendering teams productivity for "quite a while" as there
is no guarantee the OSL issue would be the end of it.
the only way forward appears to be back.

The problematic commit was 07fe6c5a57
as blenkernel links most of blender, it's a bit of a link order issue
magnet. Given all these commits stack, it's near impossible to revert
just that one without spending a significant amount of time resolving
merge conflicts. 99% of that work was automated, so easier to just
revert all of them, and re-do the work, than it is to deal with the
merge conflicts.
