When displaying keymaps on the Status Bar we prefer to show Confirm and
then Cancel. We have a few places where these are reversed
accidentally. This just makes these consistent with the rest.

Move `CD_CUSTOMLOOPNORMAL` to the newly added
`CD_PROP_INT16_2D` generic attribute type. This is similar to
previous commits moving specific custom data types.
The attribute name is `custom_normal`. When the attribute with
that name is on the face corner domain, the code will interpret it
as stored in the existing deformation-invariant spherical coordinate
space.
The API remains the same, with the additional opportunity to edit
custom normal data as an attribute directly (which admittedly is fairly
unintuitive currently).
See #130484.

The `fmt::format` can process the format string at compile time. Currently, we
don't seem to be using that as we don't use `FMT_STRING`. Starting with C++20,
that will be the default though, and one has to explicitly opt out in places
where the string is not known at compile time using `fmt::runtime(...)`.
Currently, our code does not compile as C++20 because of that. Unfortunately, we
have many places with runtime format strings, because of i18n.

A new parameter, topology influence, is added that causes the
join_triangles operator to prioritize edge joins that create quads with
sensible geometry relative to existing quads, instead of selecting the
'flattest' and 'squarest' next pair and then leaving leftover triangles
with no partners to merge with.
This produces its best results with the face and shape thresholds set to
180 degrees (no hard limits as a restriction against merging) and
topology influence somewhere between 100-130%, depending on the mesh.
Too low and many parallelograms and triangles are left, too high and the
algorithm tries too hard and starts making errors.
Note that both quads already present in the selection, as well as the
quads that are generated during the operator, will influence the
topology around them. This allows the modeler to manually merge a few
quads in key areas of the mesh, as a hint to the algorithm, indicating
what result they way they want to see, and the algorithm will then take
those quads into account and try to build around them according to the
modeler's guidance.
A new checkbox to leave only the remaining triangles selected has also
been added. This helps users visualize what remains to be fixed.
Ref !128610
Bridge could delete all faces & then fail to perform the bridge
operation. In this case the mesh was still modified.
Resolve by tracking the changed state, run updates when any changes are
made.
This reverts commit f3c32a36bc and the two followups.
The commit caused issues with both the operator and the modifier.
The operator could be fixed, for the modifier this needs deeper
investigation (see #124836 for a bit more info on this).
Until a better solution is found it is just better to go back to
previous behavior.

It also removes the now useless `RNA_EXTERN_C` defines, and just

The attribute API defined in `attribute.cc` was dependent on
the assumption that `ID`s are always the "direct" owners of attributes.
For Grease Pencil drawings, this is not the case. The Grease Pencil ID
stores the attributes for layers, and the attributes for drawings are stored
in `CurvesGeometry` on the drawings themselves.
In order to make use of `rna_attribute.cc`, we need that API to handle
other types of attribute owners.
This adds an `AttributeOwner` which is basically just a type and a
pointer. We replace the `ID` pointers and pass `AttributeOwner`s instead.
For cases where we have to do a switch based on the type, all the
types are handled and the `default` statment is left out. This ensures
that we get a compiler warning when a new `AttributeOwnerType`
is added.
No functional changes expected.

`BM_mesh_triangulate` is used in exporters (when the "Triangulate"
option is ON), the `Triangulate` modifier and currently also in the
`Triangulate` geometry node (even though there are plans to change this,
see !112264)
So in practice, exporters (Alembic/FBX/OBJ/Collada) were breaking
custom normals for game pipelines (unless everything was triangulated
beforehand).
This change builds upon 93c8955a72 (uses the use
`BM_custom_loop_normals_to_vector_layer` /
`BM_custom_loop_normals_from_vector_layer` pair of calls).
In the case of the `Triangulate` modifier, this had its own try at
preserving custom normals in 7d0fcaa69a -- doing very similar
things but as an option -- this is now removed (so it is always done,
which fits into "interpolate custom data if it's there" design that we have
nowadays).
NOTE: the "Triangulate Faces" operator already did the same

`Weight` & `Threshold` sliders should **not** show in case of `Type` :
`Custom Normal` and **should** show for both `Type` : `Face Area` &
`Type` : `Corner Angle`
In code, it looks like we are gathering `loop_weight` with `val`.
- this is always 1.0 for `EDBM_CLNOR_AVERAGE_LOOP`
- this is taken from `BM_face_calc_area` for
`EDBM_CLNOR_AVERAGE_FACE_AREA`
- this is taken from `BM_loop_calc_face_angle` for
`EDBM_CLNOR_AVERAGE_ANGLE`
Code then compares not equal those values with given threshold, but for
`EDBM_CLNOR_AVERAGE_LOOP` this will never trigger (since all values are
the same), thus `count` is always zero which makes the effective
`n_weight` always 1. So all loop split normals are averaged for a vertex
with the same weight (seems to make sense to me -- at is just plain
average)
Long story short: the condition to show `Weight` & `Threshold` sliders
is just flipped (these only apply for the methods that take neighbor
faces into account).

The main motivation for this is that it's part of a fix for #113377,
where I want to propagate the edit mesh pointers through copied
meshes in modifiers and geometry nodes, instead of just setting the
edit mesh pointer at the end of the modifier stack. That would have
two main benefits:
1. We avoid the need to write to the evaluated mesh, after evaluation
which means it can be shared directly among evaluated objects.
2. When an object's mesh is completely replaced by the mesh from another
object during evaluation (with the object info node), the final edit
mesh pointer will not be "wrong", allowing us to skip index-mapped
GPU data extraction.
Beyond that, using a shared pointer just makes things more automatic.
Handling of edit mesh data is already complicated enough, this way some
of the worry and complexity can be handled by RAII.
One thing to keep in mind is that the edit mesh's BMesh is still freed
manually with `EDBM_mesh_free_data` when leaving edit mode. I figured
that was a more conservative approach for now. Maybe eventually that
could be handled automatically with RAII too.

Move the public functions from the editors/object (`ED_object.hh`)
header to the `blender::ed::object` namespace, and move all of the
implementation files to the namespace too. This provides better code
completion, makes it easier to use other C++ code, removes unnecessary
redundancy and verbosity from local uses of public functions, and more
cleanly separates different modules.
See the diff in `ED_object.hh` for the main renaming changes.

"Own" (the adjective) cannot be used on its own. It should be combined
with something like "its own", "our own", "her own", or "the object's own".
It also isn't used separately to mean something like "separate".
Also, "its own" is correct instead of "it's own" which is a misues of the verb.
The `object_to_world` and `world_to_object` matrices are set during
depsgraph evaluation, calculated from the object's animated location,
rotation, scale, parenting, and constraints. It's confusing and
unnecessary to store them with the original data in DNA.
This commit moves them to `ObjectRuntime` and moves the matrices to
use the C++ `float4x4` type, giving the potential for simplified code
using the C++ abstractions. The matrices are accessible with functions
on `Object` directly since they are used so commonly. Though for write
access, directly using the runtime struct is necessary.
The inverse `world_to_object` matrix is often calculated before it's
used, even though it's calculated as part of depsgraph evaluation.
Long term we might not want to store this in `ObjectRuntime` at all,
and just calculate it on demand. Or at least we should remove the
redundant calculations. That should be done separately though.

The main simplification is using return values rather than return
arguments, and the additional semantic clarity from std::optional.
Also use `fmt` for formatting and use lambdas instead of macros

Although the information displayed in the status bar is strictly
speaking reports, it makes sense to translate them using the Interface
setting instead of Reports, as the tool names and stats terms are
also translated in other UI places (toolbar, menus).
This change includes status bars statistics and keymaps, and viewport
statistics.
The change is quite extensive as it is all or nothing. Translating
keymaps using Interface means some status messages will include them
indirectly, and thus cannot use Reports without having a weird mix of
original and translated words. In turn, having only some messages
translated would be even more confusing.
The result is that all messages related to input are now translated with
Interface, which I think also makes sense.
Discussed as a followup to !116804.

It is very common for graphical editors with layers to support
locking individual layers to protect them from accidental edits due
to misclicks. Blender itself already supports locking vertex groups.
This adds lock toggles for shape keys, with lock/unlock all operators.
The flags are checked by sculpt brushes, edit mode transform tools,
and Smooth, Propagate and Blend From Shape operators. This selection
aims to cover operations that only deform the mesh, where the shape
key selection matters.
Topology changing operations always apply to all keys, and thus
incorrect shape key selection is less impactful. Excluding them
from the new feature greatly reduces the patch size.

The previous commit introduced a new `RPT_()` macro to translate
strings which are not tooltips or regular interface elements, but
longer reports or statuses.
This commit uses the new macro to translate many strings all over the
UI.
Most of it is a simple replace from `TIP_()` or `IFACE_()` to
`RPT_()`, but there are some additional changes:
- A few translations inside `BKE_report()` are removed altogether
because they are already handled by the translation system.
- Messages inside `UI_but_disable()` are no longer translated
manually, but they are handled by a new regex in the translation
system.

Along with the 4.1 libraries upgrade, we are bumping the clang-format
version from 8-12 to 17. This affects quite a few files.
If not already the case, you may consider pointing your IDE to the
clang-format binary bundled with the Blender precompiled libraries.
Remove most includes of this header inside other headers, to remove unnecessary
indirect includes which can have a impact on compile times. In the future we may
want more dedicated "_fwd.hh" headers, but until then, this sticks with the
solution in existing code.
Unfortunately it isn't yet possible to remove the include from `BKE_geometry_set.hh`.
Since 4d0dbab5b1, `EDBM_verts_mirror_cache` is used to find mirror
verts (but this was initialized with `use_select` being `true`, so the
cache was only set up for selected verts). `EDBM_verts_mirror_get`
behaves in a way that if you then query a vert that does not have a true
mirror, it would always return the vert with index zero in this case (so
basically would look like the index zero vert is the mirror for verts
not covered in the cache). Now if that zero index vert happened to be
selected, verts would not be skipped and the whole mesh would be
overwritten.
To solve this, we need to initialize the `EDBM_verts_mirror_cache` with
`use_select` being `false` -- this way all verts are covered and we
always get back the true mirror (checking selection on that one is fine
then and everything behaves as expected).

The term `looptri` was used ambiguously for both single & arrays.
The term `tri` was also used, causing `tri->tri`.
Use terms:
- `looptris` for an array or when dealing with multiple items.
- `looptri` is used when dealing with a single item.
- `lt` for a single MLoopTri variables & arguments.
This was already a convention but not followed closely.
