This commit includes nodes to build the following primitives:
- Cone
- Cylinder
- Circle
- Cube
- UV Sphere
- Ico Sphere
- Line
- Plane/Grid
In general the inputs are the same as the corresponding operators
in the 3D view.
**Line Primitive**
The line primitive has two modes-- adding vertices between two end
points, or adding vertices each at an offset from the start point.
For the former mode, there is a choice between a vertex count
and a distance between each point.
**Plane Primitive**
This commit includes the "Plane" and "Grid" primitives as one node.
Generally primitives are named after the simpler form of the shape they
create (i.e. "Cone" can make some more complex shapes). Also, generally
you want to tweak the number of subdivisions anyway, so defaulting to
plane is not an inconvenience. And generally having fewer redundant
base primitives is better.
**Future Improvements**
A following patch proposes to improve the speed of the cylinder, cone,
and sphere primitives: D10730. Additional possible future improvements
would be adding subdivisions to the cube node and rings to the cone
and cylinder nodes.

This adds the LineArt grease pencil modifier.
It takes objects or collections as input and generates various grease
pencil lines from these objects with the help of the active scene
camera. For example it can generate contour lines, intersection lines
and crease lines to name a few.
This is really useful as artists can then use 3D meshes to automatically
generate grease pencil lines for characters, enviroments or other
visualization purposes.
These lines can then be baked and edited as regular grease pencil lines.

Add implicit `int32 to Color4f` conversion. Matches `int32 to float3` conversion logic.
This may not be the most useful conversion but prevents an error in the Attribute Convert node.

Use h264 codec for output. This codec produces smaller files, can be
multithreaded and decodes even faster than MJPEG.
Quality setting 0-100 corresponds to "Lowest Quality" to
"Perceptually Lossless" in Blender's h264 encoding presets.
All available cores are used for decoding.
Same goes for decoding but only for codecs that supports this
(h264, vp9 seems to support this option out of th box as well).
Other decoders can probably be optimized in similar way, but threaded
encoding provides significant boost already.
I have tested variety of codecs, and all were transcoded properly.

- Remove Full Render size from VSE preview size. Use just 100% instead.
- Add Use Proxies checkbox to control whether proxies are used globally
- Move preview size to top so it is most prominent
- Set default to 100% preview size and use proxies

Problem is, when a collection is excluded from the scene, none of its
objects are technically instantiated.
This should not happen when *creating* an override, but can be fairly
common during resync process.
For now, use a lesser precise check in resync case, only relying on
object usercount. This might lead to some objects being left without any
collection in some rare weird case, but this cannot really be avoided
currently.
Allow downloading of source packages of Blender's dependencies, so that
it's easier to provide a "full source archive" that contains the blender
source + all dependencies archives. A `make` command for this will be
introduced soon.
This changes the deps builder slightly to be more flexible with the
origin of our source packages.
To support this a new CMake variable has been added called `PACKAGE_DIR`
where all sources archives will be stored.
default: a directory called `packages` in the build folder.
alternative-default: if a directory called `packages` exists in the
blender source folder that will be used. This is to support the "full
source archive" use case.
The download phase have been moved from the build phase to the configure
phase. Configure will download all sources validate the hashes while
downloading.
All `[depname].cmake` files have been changed to take a local
`file://[path_to_local_tarball]` path rather than a remote URI.
A second requirement was that there needed to be an option to grab the
sources from the blender SVN mirror rather than upstream. For this an
option has been added PACKAGE_USE_UPSTREAM_SOURCES (default ON). The
exact location in SVN still needs to be worked out, I tested with my
local webserver and codewise it checks out. The path that is in there
currently will not work (given there is no mirror there yet).
To build this mirror our local package caches can be used.

Changes to increase subdivision by one along both axis (X and Y)
For example with x_segment = 3 and y_segment = 3.
There should be 16 vertices ((3 + 1) * (3 + 1)) for correct
number of subdivisions. Currently they are 3 * 3 = 9 vertices.

Seems like one of the example files on the cryptomatte github is
malformed and blender crashes when loading that file. This change will
try to load as much as possible from the manifest so it can still be
used.
This has also been reported to cryptomatte project.
Use a for loop that always begins with the active object,
instead of moving the active object in the array,
which failed when it's data already being handled.
While the existing logic could have been fixed,
it's simpler to change the loop order.
In the current implementation, cryptomatte passes are connected to the node
and elements are picked by using the eyedropper tool on a special pick channel.
This design has two disadvantages - both connecting all passes individually
and always having to switch to the picker channel are tedious.
With the new design, the user selects the RenderLayer or Image from which the
Cryptomatte layers are directly loaded (the type of pass is determined by an
enum). This allows the node to automatically detect all relevant passes.
Then, when using the eyedropper tool, the operator looks up the selected
coordinates from the picked Image, Node backdrop or Clip and reads the picked
object directly from the Renderlayer/Image, therefore allowing to pick in any
context (e.g. by clicking on the Combined pass in the Image Viewer). The
sampled color is looked up in the metadata and the actual name is stored
in the cryptomatte node. This also allows to remove a hash by just removing
the name from the matte id.
Technically there is some loss of flexibility because the Cryptomatte pass
inputs can no longer be connected to other nodes, but since any compositing
done on them is likely to break the Cryptomatte system anyways, this isn't
really a concern in practise.
In the future, this would also allow to automatically translate values to names
by looking up the value in the associated metadata of the input, or to get a
better visualization of overlapping areas in the Pick output since we could
blend colors now that the output doesn't have to contain the exact value.

Callbacks used in `bpy.props` didn't hold a references to the functions
they used.
While this has been the case since early 2.5x it didn't cause any
problems as long as the class held a reference.
With Python 3.10 or when using `from __future__ import annotations`,
the annotations are no longer owned by the class once evaluated.
Resolve this by holding a reference in the module, which now supports
traverse & clear callbacks so the objects are visible to Python's
garbage collector.
Also refactor storage of Python data, moving from an array into a struct.
This is an implementation that is about 1.5-2.1 times faster. It gives a result
that is on average 6° different from the old implementation. The difference is
because normals (Ng, N, N') are not selected to be coplanar, but instead
reflection R is lifted the least amount and the N' is computed as a bisector.

Static initialization order was not guaranteed to be correct for node base
types. Now wrap all initialization in accessor functions to ensure the order
is correct.
Did not cause any known bug on Linux/macOS/Windows, but showed up on this
platform.
The issue was caused by a prediction algorithm detecting tracking the
wrong way. Solved by passing tracking direction explicitly, so that
prediction will always happen correctly regardless of the state of the
Tracks context.
This was cause by the change of some epsilon values for reflections.
This commit changes the planar reflection tracing to have correct
handling of parallel rays and discard any self intersection with normal
screen raytrace.
