For C/C++ doc-strings should be located in headers,
move function comments into the headers, in some cases merging
with existing doc-strings, in other cases, moving implementation
notes into the function body.
Use snake style naming for all the kernel nodes functions.
Omit kernel prefix in the names since of the using namespace.
Use full forms of the terms
('iter' -> 'iterator', 'ntree' -> 'node_tree', 'rem' -> 'remove', ...).

This commit moves generated `RNA_blender.h`, `RNA_prototype.h` and
`RNA_blender_cpp.h` headers to become C++ header files.
It also removes the now useless `RNA_EXTERN_C` defines, and just
directly use the `extern` keyword. We do not need anymore `extern "C"`
declarations here.

Basically this tries to make the API to stop and kill jobs more explicit &
consistent, so intent is expressed clearly & behavior as expected.
- Remove use of the job start callback address as identifier for the job.
6887dea786 already removed this pattern from the jobs system internals, this
commit also removes it from the API.
- Make stop & kill API and implementation consistent. E.g. don't stop/kill jobs
by either owner **or** type/callback in one function, and by owner (if
provided) **and** type/callback in another. Causes some small behavior
changes, documented inline.
- Use the same job type and API for all preview render jobs (change by Brecht).
There doesn't seem to be a need for the separated types, in fact the
separation might have caused some issues earlier (and added code complexity).
- Add/improve function documentation.
This does actually have subtle behavior changes that are known, see PR, but
they were investigated carefully and seem like implementing wanted behavior.

It seems that when ensure_nodetree_previews calls duplicate_material,
ntreeLocalize removes the muted node from the copy of the nodetree,
so later in ensure_nodetree_previews nodeFindNodebyName can't find it
and therefore parent is NULL.
With this change, the muted node just doesn't get its preview updated.

Move all header file into namespace.
Unnecessary namespaces was removed from implementations file.
Part of forward declarations in header was moved in the top part
of file just to do not have a lot of separate namespaces.

`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.
Move the three current 'status variables' (stop, update and progress)
into a single 'WorkerStatus' struct. This is cleaner and will allow for
future workin this area without having to edit tens of 'startjob'
callbacks signatures all the time.
No functional change expected here.
Note: jobs' specific internal code has been modified as little as
possible, in many cases the job's own data still just store pointers to
these three values. Ideally in the future more refactor will be using a
single pointer to the shared `wmJobWorkerStatus` data instead.

For some reasons, `WM_jobs_stop` and `WM_jobs_kill` would use their own
'type' of function pointer - and not even a matching one!
Among (many) other reasons why this was bad, it required very stupid
casting from code using these functions - and made editing wmJob `startjob`
signature needlessly complicated.
There are a couple of functions that create rna pointers. For example
`RNA_main_pointer_create` and `RNA_pointer_create`. Currently, those
take an output parameter `r_ptr` as last argument. This patch changes
it so that the functions actually return a` PointerRNA` instead of using
the output parameters.
This has a few benefits:
* Output parameters should only be used when there is an actual benefit.
Otherwise, one should default to returning the value.
* It's simpler to use the API in the large majority of cases (note that this
patch reduces the number of lines of code).
* It allows the `PointerRNA` to be const on the call-site, if that is desired.
No performance regression has been measured in production files.
If one of these functions happened to be called in a hot loop where
there is a regression, the solution should be to use an inline function
there which allows the compiler to optimize it even better.

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.

Part 3/3 of #109135, #110272
Switch to new node group interfaces and deprecate old DNA and API.
This completes support for panels in node drawing and in node group
interface declarations in particular.
The new node group interface DNA and RNA code has been added in parts
1 and 2 (#110885, #110952) but has not be enabled yet. This commit
completes the integration by
* enabling the new RNA API
* using the new API in UI
* read/write new interfaces from blend files
* add versioning for backward compatibility
* add forward-compatible writing code to reconstruct old interfaces
All places accessing node group interface declarations should now be
using the new API. A runtime cache has been added that allows simple
linear access to socket inputs and outputs even when a panel hierarchy
is used.
Old DNA has been deprecated and should only be accessed for versioning
(inputs/outputs renamed to inputs_legacy/outputs_legacy to catch
errors). Versioning code ensures both backward and forward
compatibility of existing files.
The API for old interfaces is removed. The new API is very similar but
is defined on the `ntree.interface` instead of the `ntree` directly.
Breaking change notifications and detailed instructions for migrating
will be added.
A python test has been added for the node group API functions. This
includes new functionality such as creating panels and moving items
between different levels.
This patch does not yet contain panel representations in the modifier
UI. This has been tested in a separate branch and will be added with a
later PR (#108565).

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.
AOV/group/material output nodes can now be previewed the same way the
other nodes are.
This patch also improves the socket detection of the preview by using
`get_main_socket` which takes care of the priorities of the sockets.

For shader nodes, use the flat preview scene as default.
A new setting in the overlay panel adds the possibility to
use the material preview scene for the node previews.

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.
