This PR enabled GPU based subdivision on Metal.
Most work is done in #135296.
- Metal max storage bindings for compute shaders were never set.
Some performance figures: Suzanne 6 subdivision levels
| Machine | CPU Subdivision | GPU Subdivision |
| --------------- | --------------- | --------------- |
| M1 Studio Ultra | 7fps | 12 fps |
| M2 Air | 3fps | 11 fps |

This PR enabled GPU subdivision on Vulkan backend. Measured
performance is slower compared to CPU on my system. But it is
expected that other bottlenecks should be solved in order to
fully benefit from this feature.
We enable it so we keep track of the performance bottlenecks.

draw_attribute_warnings() called in every attribute panel code.
Following function iterates through entire attribute list
mesh.attributes along with vgroup list to identify the colliding name.
This results in printing collision names in irrelavant panels. Now fixed
by passing relevant attributes to compare in `draw_attribute_warnings`.
First find colliding names, add them to the list if they exists in current attribute list
passed to the function

Some wheels don't use "Purelib", meaning the directory layout of the
wheel needs to be manipulated on installation.
Add partial support for Python's "Binary distribution format" when
Purelib is false, since paths such as `includes` & `scripts` are not
remapped into user accessible locations - they will remain in the
wheels "*.data" directory, these could be supported if it's needed
although it seems like a fairly niche use case.
Ref !135709
The underlying issue was that the code was trying to directly assign a Python
dictionary to an add-on defined Group Property accessed via `[]` syntax, like
this:
```
to_bone['rigify_parameters'] = param_dict
```
That only works if 'rigify_parameters' does *not* already exist according to the
`[]` lookup, so this was failing whenever it already did.
This PR fixes that by simply deleting the property first when it already exists.

As a small addition to the import node features for 4.5,
this simple node imports a text file as a string. Potential
use cases include retrieving text for motion graphics.
Currently this just allows .txt files. More extensions could
be allowed in the future.

When baking custom properties that were named exactly the same
as a property already in Blender (in this case `scale`), it would fail.
The issue was introduced with eee32726c7 where the goal was
to not key addon defined properties.
The problem with that approach was that `obj.bpy_rna.properties`
not only contains addon defined properties but also all that are native to Blender.
So the rna path would be created to be identical as for e.g. transform properties.
The fix is to test the property for `is_runtime` which is true for addon
defined properties but false for blender internal properties
I tested with the test file of #121349 to confirm that doing so
doesn't bring that original bug back.

When accessing the key-map for tooltips it's important to use
the final "user" keymap, combine from "active" & "default".
Using the active keyconfig would only keys from key-maps that had
been modified.
This commit adds the `sculpt.mask_by_color` operator to the 'Mask' menu item in Sculpt Mode. This
allows users to access it via operator / property search. Additionally, the Redo panel is exposed
for general usage.

Add this operator to the dropdown menu to the right of the attribute list
for curves and point cloud geometries. For these geometry types the
operator can run in edit mode too, unlike meshes.
This commits fixes a type error issue when reporting that a addon was
designed for a version of Blender newer than the current one.
Thanks to @Rakete for the fix.
Ref: !135392
Added entries for operators missing in the Curves edit mode context and
topbar menus as mentioned in #105253.
Ordered menu entries based on legacy and mesh menus but it's not
identical as the operator set is reduced. Prioritized keeping group
classification consistent between the menus when deriving the layout.

Adds the option to create a boolean socket that can be used as a panel toggle.
This allows creating simpler and more compact node group UIs when a panel
can be "disabled".
The toggle input is a normal input socket that is just drawn a bit differently in
the UI. Whether a boolean is a toggle input or not does not affect evaluation.
Also see #133936 for guides on how to add and remove panel toggles.

Commit 8ff8fc4859 changed the context for the modes in Merge Nodes
and Change Nodes operators to Nodetree. The enum items were thus
extracted using this context, but the UI Menus were not updated to
reflect this change and a few items were no longer translated.
This commit fixes the issue by using the same translation context for
the menus' drawing.
`IDProperty` of keyitem and operator in UI were not matching in
`wm_keymap_item_find_in_keymap()`. Now fixed by removing explicit
property value from UI menu

This adds a new `Visual Geometry to Objects` operator which is added to the
`Apply` menu.
It creates new objects from the evaluated geometry of the active object. Other
than e.g. applying modifiers, this operator does keep all generated data and
creates new objects and collections for instances. It does have some
similarities to `Make Instances Real` with the main difference that it doesn't
actually realize instances, i.e. instanced geometry is still shared between all
objects using it.
It does intentionally not replace the original object, because the semantics of
that aren't all that obvious. It's especially tricky when the object was
referenced by other objects. Instance attributes are not preserved currently.
