This was removed to make building USD plugins easier, without the need to
compile them for Blender specifically. However it also causes errors when
using the bpy module together with the usd-core pip package.
In practice there are not many USD plugins, and often need to be compiled
for Blender specifically anyway due to the monolithic library and DCCs being
on different USD versions.
Additionally, this adds a patch to avoid conflicts when loading the
same USD library version through Blender and usd-core on Windows and macOS.
Fix#127132: Crash using bpy and usd-core pip package together.

OpenEXR: 3.3.2
OpenColorIO: 2.4.1
OpenVDB: 12.0.0
Also sync up exact FFMPEG version with reference (6.1.1, from
`versions.cmake`), and accept 7.x versions since Blender should also be
compatible with this major release.
See also #128577.
Turns out, `apt-cache` will not use exact package names match, leading
to invalid successful results in case a given package does not exist,
but a extended-name one does (e.g. looking for `python3.11` will return
results for packages like `libpython3.11-stdlib`...).
So add a first check using `apt show`, to ensure the requested package
name does exist first!
Also add a `__repr__` callback to the `PackageInstaller` class.
Although not currently used by `main` Blender, this library has been
tracked by platform maintainers for some times now, so time to also add
it to this script.
See aslo #128577.
MSVC does this by default, and is a good way to see build progress
indication, when using msbuild. clang-cl also got that option back
in 2018, but it is off by default.

That version has a bunch of API changes, so by dropping support for older
versions we can remove old compatibility code.
Also, that version is required for OptiX support, so building a fully-featured
Cycles wasn't possible with older OSL anyways.

Support thumbnail that shows the file contents instead
of the default blend file icon for all files in Finder.
Some files may still have the usual blender icon as thumbnail
depending on their contents.
blender-thumbnailer process is kept alive by the system
in the background and is invoked by QuickLook when needed.
The checkbox to disable the extension is present in
the Settings app.
It will NOT be an interactive "Preview" that allows richer
interactions like Panning viewport, or rotating 3D objects.
Cycles supports OptiX on Maxwell and up architectures, but the
default in OSL is to generate PTX targeting Pascal and up. Adjust the
OSL target architecture to Maxwell to fix this.

- WITH_WINDOWS_EXTERNAL_MANIFEST is now required even for ninja
builds, this previously was not the case. so just apply it
across all build flavours on windows.
- fmsc-version=1922 is no longer needed, was required back when
support for clang on windows landed, is fine without it now.
- /MP gives better build performance when building from the IDE
makes no difference for a ninja build which wasn't struggling in
that department anyhow.
2019 no longer has a preview track, so support for it can
safely be removed. The help also incorrectly advertised
asan as a clang only feature, which is no longer true as
msvc supports it these days.
* Some libraries like Alembic and OpenColorIO for a long time removed
header dependencies on Boost.
* No need to have BOOST_LIBRARIES anymore, only BOOST_PYTHON_LIBRARIES
is a direct dependency through USD headers.
* OpenVDB is no longer a static library, no need to link its dependencies.

To easily force a rebuild of a dependency the nuke script will remove all build
artifacts for a specific dependency from the dependency build folder. This includes
- The Debug and Release build folder of the dependency
- The Debug and Release staging output folder of the dependency
- The harvest output folder of the dependency
For dependencies that have a long dependency chain like embree, shaderc and
python extra convenience scripts are added that nuke the additional deps that
need to be removed to obtain a fully clean build.
These scripts have not been updated in years, and locally i had better
versions of them. This commit updates them to the latest i had locally
this should hopefully lower the barrier to building the dependencies by
other developers as all that is needed is a fresh VM with a clean
windows install.
Removed:
buildall.cmd - not useful, we no longer build for 2 vs versions
and 2 architectures , removed
nuke.cmd - same, may come back in the future in some form
New:
vmprep.cmd.txt - This preps a clean windows vm with the correct
versions of visual studio/cuda/git/hip/meson to build all dependencies.
this should only and ever be run on a clean install of windows, do not
under any circumstances run this on a developer workstation.
to prevent people from doing this anyhow this script has a .txt
extension so it cannot be accidentally executed, instructions on how to
run this script are this file.
vmbuild.cmd.txt - Helper build script, vmprep will provision the build
machine with this script.
vsconfig_2019 - installer script for visual studio 2019 to select the
workloads we require.
Previously it was a single version specification which was only
used by Windows.
In practice we actually have two different SDKs for Linux and
Windows. This change makes it possible to specify explicit HIP
version for Linux which could be different from Windows.
No functional changes expected, the same HIP SDK version is
used, just explicitly.

While I implemented pipewire support I forgot that some of the functions I use is not available in older pipewire versions.
This adds proper library version sanity checks for pipewire.

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.
