This adds a new `name` member to the `GeometrySet` class. This name can be set
with the new `Set Geometry Name` node. Currently, the name is only used in the
spreadsheet when displaying instances.
The main purpose of this name is to help debugging in instance trees. However, in the
future it may also be used when exporting instance trees or when creating separate
objects from them.
Note, the name is not expected to be unique, it is fully in user control.
Naming geometries is necessary to make the spreadsheet more useful for instances,
because currently the user has no information for which geometry is used by each instance.
We also want to use this name to improve the integration with grease pencil where
sometimes layers become instances with the same name.

These aren't all cases, but a few that I found by addding a static
assert in `MEM_new` so that it fails for trivially constructible types.
The option on NLA strips "Sync Length" (in the Action Clip dropdown of the N panel)
stops keys from being inserted if it is disabled.
This is due to the evaluation mode of the strip, which is set
to "Hold" internally but ONLY IF "Sync Length" is enabled.
Removing that condition allows to key in tweak mode regardless of that setting.
## History
This has been put in place by 89ee260ef2
Judging by the commit description, this was put in place to allow keyframing
in tweak mode. However, no explanation is given why this is only allowed
with "Sync Length" enabled. Potentially because there was no special
handling of tweak strips for keying evaluation, which has been put in
place later. (09709a7e64)

When a mesh is shared between multiple objects, sculpting with a brush
with the Curve stroke type doesnt update normal values for the affected
nodes when using PBVH drawing. This is because when reevaluating the
depsgraph for the objects, the shared PBVH is destroyed and the nodes
are recalculated, losing the existing node flag updates.
This only occurs for the Curve stroke type because all of its stroke
steps are performed within a single call to the overall operator when
the user presses enter, unlike other brush strokes which apply on each
mouse movement.
To fix this, we simply force update the normals before destroying the
PBVH at the end of the stroke step.

This is the main merge commit of the brush assets project. The previous
commits did some preparing changes, more tweaks are in the following commits.
Also, a lot of the more general work was already merged into the main branch
over the last two years.
With the new design, quite some things can be removed/replaced:
- There's a unified "Brush" tool now, brush based tools and all special
handling is removed.
- Old tool and brush icons are unsed now, and their initialization code
removed here. That means they draw as blank now, and the icon files can be
removed in a follow up.
- Creation of default brushes is unnecessary since brushes are now bundled in
the Essentials asset library. Icons/previews are handled as standard asset
previews.
- Grease pencil eraser options are replaced by a general default eraser brush
that can be set by the user.
More changes are planned still, see task list issue below.

Point caches can be part of modifiers, in which case changes to the
input geometry should reset the cache. This worked when the input data
is the initial object data, but does not take the modifier stack into
account. A preceding modifier could update based on some dependency
and the point cache would be none the wiser.
The `POINT_CACHE_RESET` depsgraph node now gets additional dependencies
if it's in a modifier with a predecessor.
Caveat: all caches are represented by a single node currently. That
means an indirect change to a modifier will reset all caches of that
object.

The projection direction was hardcoded previously. This leads to bad results
if the curves happen to be orthogonal to the projection direction, e.g. when
they were on the XY plane.
The issue here was that the left handle of the first point was calculated
incorrectly (set to the position of the point itself), which caused a
NaN when attempting to normalize a zero vector when computing extrapolation
vectors.

This removes `BKE_attributes_supported`.
Instead, a static method `from_id`
is added to the `AttributeAccessor` class that constructs
the accessor from the given ID. If this fails, `std::nullopt`
is returned.

Viewport instances created by the Viewport Render Animation operator
don't get `view_updated` notifications.
Fix update detection by implementing a `last_update` timestamp for
`World`, similar to the ones added in #115196.

The openvdb API was used incorrectly before. I didn't notice that this is
a static function and requires the type to be passed in.
Note that this does not solve the cache invalidation issue yet. Instead
it handles the case more gracefully when the stored .vdb file changes
when Blender doesn't expect it to change.
Rename "Animation data-block" to "Action" or "Layered Action", where
appropriate. Some uses of the term actually refer to the `AnimData`
struct, in which case they were left as-is.
No real functional changes, just changing some messages & descriptions.

Rename 'Binding' to 'Slot'. The old term was causing all kind of
confusion, and 'slot' was considered to be a better term for the
intended functionality.
This commit breaks existing blend files that were using the new layered
Action for their animation. The animation data will be lost due to the
rename, as there is no versioning code or DNA renaming logic. At this
time the new system is still marked as experimental, so shouldn't be
used for anything serious anyway.

Caused by 396ad5db83
It is possible that some edge collapsing of non-manifold mesh will
eventually result in extra wire edges, and loose vertices. This was
not properly handled in the boundary checks, assuming that all
modifications preserve mesh manifold.
This fix avoids the crash by adding nullptr check in the boundary
check.
While this is not fully ideal from the result perspective, it is
a safe change for 4.2. Ideally the wire edges and loose vertices
will be removed, but this is a bigger and more risky change. Also,
in Blender 4.0 it was possible to generate loose geometry in
dyntopo as well, so it just a general improvement to happen (and not
a regression).

For text objects, current code will use another font if you ask for
a character that is not found in the selected font. But what if the
selected font is invalid? This can happen with a saved Blend that uses
a non-packed font that is since deleted. Current behavior will show
nothing. This PR restores earlier behavior where we use the built-in
font in this case. This does not make any changes to error reporting.

Regression from fb8bf8b0c8: Now that the 'automatic override'
relationships between IDs are much more strict, re-creating
sub-hierarchies of overrides as part of the partial resync may not be
able to 'find' all previously used overrides anymore. An additional
remapping from linked (reference) data to existing, unchanged 'old'
overrides is needed.
In the report case, the root of the partial resync is the Curve obdata
itself, which will imply resync of its material. But the Armature object
used as dependency of the material (through the driver target) has
already been checked as not needing resync, so it is not included as
part of this partial resync sub-hierarchy anymore.
However, it means that the newly resync material override will have a
pointer to the linked armature object, which then needs to be remapped
to the matching existing (unchanged) override.
NOTE: this likely means that too many override IDs are still being
resynced currently. In the report-s case e.g., the Material ID likely
does not need to be resynced either.
- Do not translate a label containing the name of the active NLA
action.
- Translate default action name when created by inserting a keyframe.
- Translate "<NoAction>" and other default NLA strip names.
- Translate "<NoAction>" displayed in the UI when no action exists in
the NLA.
- Translate the temporary meta-strip created when moving an NLA strip
around. This uses DATA_() for consistency, even though it is not
really user data.

This patch supports the Cryptomatte picker in the 3D viewport. Instead
of picking a color from the viewport GPU texture, we instead sample the
scene directly to get the object or material under the cursor, then hash
their names to get the Cryptomatte hash value. We do this because the
viewport texture have limited precision, so it can't store the
Cryptomatte hash values.
Additionally, we adjust the Cryptomatte session code to extract the
Cryptomatte manifest from the scene directly, as opposed to the
RenderResult. This is done to make it work even when no RenderResult
exist, as is the case for the viewport compositor, which is needed
especially after #123378.
