Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/107790
Adds a `remap_pairing` function for node group operators that ensures
the simulation input nodes' `output_node_id` matches the new node are
creating a group, ungrouping a node group, or separating from a group.
Also fixes a crash in the "Group Separate" operator when group
input/output nodes are included in the selection.

Only use the term len & maxlen when they represent the length & maximum
length of a string. Instead of the available bytes to use.
Also include the data they're referencing as a suffix, otherwise it's
not always clear what the length is in reference to.
This adds support for building simulations with geometry nodes. A new
`Simulation Input` and `Simulation Output` node allow maintaining a
simulation state across multiple frames. Together these two nodes form
a `simulation zone` which contains all the nodes that update the simulation
state from one frame to the next.
A new simulation zone can be added via the menu
(`Simulation > Simulation Zone`) or with the node add search.
The simulation state contains a geometry by default. However, it is possible
to add multiple geometry sockets as well as other socket types. Currently,
field inputs are evaluated and stored for the preceding geometry socket in
the order that the sockets are shown. Simulation state items can be added
by linking one of the empty sockets to something else. In the sidebar, there
is a new panel that allows adding, removing and reordering these sockets.
The simulation nodes behave as follows:
* On the first frame, the inputs of the `Simulation Input` node are evaluated
to initialize the simulation state. In later frames these sockets are not
evaluated anymore. The `Delta Time` at the first frame is zero, but the
simulation zone is still evaluated.
* On every next frame, the `Simulation Input` node outputs the simulation
state of the previous frame. Nodes in the simulation zone can edit that
data in arbitrary ways, also taking into account the `Delta Time`. The new
simulation state has to be passed to the `Simulation Output` node where it
is cached and forwarded.
* On a frame that is already cached or baked, the nodes in the simulation
zone are not evaluated, because the `Simulation Output` node can return
the previously cached data directly.
It is not allowed to connect sockets from inside the simulation zone to the
outside without going through the `Simulation Output` node. This is a necessary
restriction to make caching and sub-frame interpolation work. Links can go into
the simulation zone without problems though.
Anonymous attributes are not propagated by the simulation nodes unless they
are explicitly stored in the simulation state. This is unfortunate, but
currently there is no practical and reliable alternative. The core problem
is detecting which anonymous attributes will be required for the simulation
and afterwards. While we can detect this for the current evaluation, we can't
look into the future in time to see what data will be necessary. We intend to
make it easier to explicitly pass data through a simulation in the future,
even if the simulation is in a nested node group.
There is a new `Simulation Nodes` panel in the physics tab in the properties
editor. It allows baking all simulation zones on the selected objects. The
baking options are intentially kept at a minimum for this MVP. More features
for simulation baking as well as baking in general can be expected to be added
separately.
All baked data is stored on disk in a folder next to the .blend file. #106937
describes how baking is implemented in more detail. Volumes can not be baked
yet and materials are lost during baking for now. Packing the baked data into
the .blend file is not yet supported.
The timeline indicates which frames are currently cached, baked or cached but
invalidated by user-changes.
Simulation input and output nodes are internally linked together by their
`bNode.identifier` which stays the same even if the node name changes. They
are generally added and removed together. However, there are still cases where
"dangling" simulation nodes can be created currently. Those generally don't
cause harm, but would be nice to avoid this in more cases in the future.

Node socket tooltips suffered from several issues.
- Some could not be translated because they were not properly
extracted, so extraction macros were added.
- Some were extracted but included newlines at the end which did not
get translated, such as `ss << TIP_("Geometry:\n")`, changed to
`ss << TIP_("Geometry:") << "\n"`.
- Some translations were not functional, such as:
`TIP_(attributes_num == 1 ? " Named Attribute" : " Named Attributes");`
because `TIP_()` needs to be around a single string.
- Some extraction macros had no effect and were removed, such as:
`.description(N_(leading_out_description));`
This is a no-op macro which can be used only around a string literal.

Needed for the simulation zone addition to the add menu search.
Link-drag search isn't supported yet, but a similar change should be
possible there.
Now the search item exposed through the public nodes namespace returns
several items directly, and the "after add function" is just handled as
a sub-case of that for convenience.
Before the add node search refactor and link-drag-search, nodes were
filtered out based on whether they worked with the active render
engine. For example, the Principled Hair BSDF node doesn't work with
EEVEE, so it isn't displayed in the UI. While we might want to relax
this in the future, we have no better way to show that they don't work
right now, so it's best to keep that behavior.
The filtering is implemented with a new node type callback, mainly
to reduce the boilerplate of implementing many node search callbacks
otherwise. It's also relatively clear this way I think. The only
downside is that now there are three poll functions.
I didn't port the "eevee_cycles_shader_nodes_poll" to the new
searches, since I don't understand the purpose of it.

This type will be used to store mesh edges in #106638, but it could
be used for anything else too. This commit adds support for:
- The new type in the Python API
- Editing the type in the edit mode "Attribute Set" operator
- Rendering the type in EEVEE and Cycles for all geometry types
- Geometry nodes attribute interpolation and mixing
- Viewing the type in the spreadsheet and using row filters
The attribute uses the `blender::int2` type in most code, and
the `vec2i` DNA type in C code when necessary. The enum names
are based on `INT32_2D` for consistency with `INT8` and `INT32`.

A buffer is a technical term most often referred to using the metaphor
of a "clipboard" in applications. However, the "clipboard" is usually
the system clipboard, used to carry data accross applications. To
avoid confusion, this replaces "clipboard" by "internal clipboard"
when not dealing with the system clipboard.
In addition, a few places still used the "[copy/paste] buffer"
terminology, so they are replaced with "internal clipboard as well.
The replacement from "[copy/paste] buffer" to "clipboard" was
undertaken in previous commits da6d6f99a8, 14b60c3a1c. This
commit should tackle the remaining occurrences.

- "Lens" can be a transparent object used in cameras, or specifically
its property of focal length
- "Empty" can be an adjective meaning void, or an object type. The
latter is already disambiguated using `ID_ID`
- "New" and "Old" are adjectives that can have agreements in some
languages
- "Modified" is an adjective that can have agreement in some languages
- "Clipping" can be a property of a camera, or a behavior of the
mirror modifier
- "Value" in HSV nodes, see #105113
- "Area" in the Face Area geometry node, can mean a measurement or a
window type
- "New" is an adjective that can have agreement
- "Tab" can be a UI element or a whitespace character
- "Volume" can mean a measurement or an object type. The latter is
already disambiguated using `ID_ID`
These changes introduce the new `BLT_I18NCONTEXT_TIME` translation
context.
They also remove `BLT_I18NCONTEXT_VIRTUAL_REALITY`, which I added at
one point but then couldn't find which messages I wanted to fix with
it.

When creating nodes by dragging a link, it can be convenient to
transfer values from input socket. For reference values, like images,
this may be necessary to avoid unnecessary data-block users. This
patch starts adding such a system. At this moment this only makes sense
for one node (Image Input), but this can be extended to work with other
reference types, different non-reference types and support auto-casting
(if a float is transferred to the Integer Input node).

Previously the only way to control the subtype was to remove the group
input or output and create it again. This commit adds a dropdown to
change an existing socket, for supported socket types.

It was necessary to fix the UI code slightly; the layout's context
wasn't being used in calls to an operator's enum items callback.

The cycling method for the viewer connection starts searching from the next socket
after the last current connection. If a geometry socket is is the last connected
output this caused the method to jump to the next socket after the geometry,
potentially skipping over valid data sockets that are not viewed yet.
The solution is to ignore the geometry sockets in the cycling entirely and only
consider data sockets (i.e. non-geometry sockets).

The goal is to solve confusion of the "All rights reserved" for licensing
code under an open-source license.
The phrase "All rights reserved" comes from a historical convention that
required this phrase for the copyright protection to apply. This convention
is no longer relevant.
However, even though the phrase has no meaning in establishing the copyright
it has not lost meaning in terms of licensing.
This change makes it so code under the Blender Foundation copyright does
not use "all rights reserved". This is also how the GPL license itself
states how to apply it to the source code:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software ...
This change does not change copyright notice in cases when the copyright
is dual (BF and an author), or just an author of the code. It also does
mot change copyright which is inherited from NaN Holding BV as it needs
some further investigation about what is the proper way to handle it.
For example
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver()
{
}
```
becomes
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver() {}
```
Saves quite some vertical space, which is especially handy for
constructors.

The UI needs persistent pointers to catalog paths that it can pass
around via context. It was trying to manage this in own storage, but
this didn't work. Not entirely sure why - the menus get redrawn
continuously while assets load, and the root menu rebuilds the mentioned
storage every time. Maybe the submenus redraw a bit later, or the
keyboard navigation handling still accessed data from a previous redraw
somehow.
Either way, instead of managing own catalog path storage, point into the
asset system, which already has persistent storage for the catalog
paths.

Nodes inside of frames where pasted with an offset from the cursor.
Since the location of nodes is in parent space, child nodes don't need
to be offset separately.

The Node Add menu can have special submenus containing node assets.
These submenus are generated by parsing the asset blend files from
release/datafiles/assets, and the interface drawing is specific to
these menus.
This commit enables the translation of these dynamic menus, including
their names and the description of the operators.
Translating an image in fullframe compositor now also translates
the backdrop image for the viewer node.
Attached gif shows the behavior. Notice how gizmo moves with correct
values with the image but the frame stays to indicate what will get
rendered.
Note: This patch is a continuation of [D12750]
(https://archive.blender.org/developer/D12750). In a previous patch,
display offset on screen was not computed correctly. This has now
been fixed.

The `NODE_OT_link_viewer` operator has some complicated logic that was
intended to stop cycling through geometry nodes to make it work better
with nodes that have multiple geometry and data outputs (group nodes).
This logic failed when geometry was not the first socket and it would
just stop connecting data sockets altogether after the geometry socket.
The reason is that the `determine_socket_to_view` function stops looking
for already-viewed outputs after the first geometry, and then simply
reconnects that geometry.
This patch changes the behavior slightly so that, if a geometry output
is found, the node skips over all subsequent geometry outputs, but still
considers data sockets for viewing. Viewing a node with multiple geometry
outputs will connect the first geometry output it encounters and then
keep cycling through data outputs on repeated execution.

The crash is fixed by reverting 87fd798ae3 and
some follow up commits. While it would generally be nice to move to a more
SoA format for these things, we are not there yet and this is causing more
trouble than it's worth currently. The main difficulty is that the socket
indices are changed by many different operations which invalidates the array
too often and led to many follow up bugs.

Various UI code would store the `AssetHandle` in a way that turns out to
be unsafe. The file-data is part of the file browser caching system that
releases file-data when a certain maximum of items is in the cache. So
even while just iterating over the assets, earlier iterated asset
handles may become invalid. Now asset handles are really treated as
volatile, short lived objects.
For the asset-view, the fix was more involved. There we need an RNA
collection of asset-handles, because the UI list code requires that. So
we create a dummy collection and get the asset handles as needed by
index. This again meant that I had to keep the index of the collection
and the asset-list in sync, so all filtering had to be moved to the UI
list.
I tried duplicating the file-data out of the cache instead, but that
caused problems with managing the memory/ownership of the preview
images.
`AssetHandle` should be removed and replaced by `AssetRepresentation`,
but this would be an even more disruptive change (breaking API
compatibility too).
