The new description for `bNode.type_legacy`:
```
/**
* Legacy integer type for nodes. It does not uniquely identify a node type, only the `idname`
* does that. For example, all custom nodes use #NODE_CUSTOM but do have different idnames.
* This is mainly kept for compatibility reasons.
*
* Currently, this type is also used in many parts of Blender, but that should slowly be phased
* out by either relying on idnames, accessor methods like `node.is_reroute()`.
*
* A main benefit of this integer type over using idnames currently is that integer comparison is
* much cheaper than string comparison, especially if many idnames have the same prefix (e.g.
* "GeometryNode"). Eventually, we could introduce cheap-to-compare runtime identifier for node
* types. That could mean e.g. using `ustring` for idnames (where string comparison is just
* pointer comparison), or using a run-time generated integer that is automatically assigned when
* node types are registered.

When using clangd or running clang-tidy on headers there are
currently many errors. These are noisy in IDEs, make auto fixes
impossible, and break features like code completion, refactoring
and navigation.
This makes source/blender headers work by themselves, which is
generally the goal anyway. But #includes and forward declarations
were often incomplete.
* Add #includes and forward declarations
* Add IWYU pragma: export in a few places
* Remove some unused #includes (but there are many more)
* Tweak ShaderCreateInfo macros to work better with clangd
Some types of headers still have errors, these could be fixed or
worked around with more investigation. Mostly preprocessor
template headers like NOD_static_types.h.
Note that that disabling WITH_UNITY_BUILD is required for clangd to
work properly, otherwise compile_commands.json does not contain
the information for the relevant source files.

OBJ, PLY, and STL used a mix of fprintf, std::cout, and std::cerr to
trace warnings, errors, and general messages to the console.
Now, we instead use CLOG which provides real facilities for warnings and
errors and generally removes the need to pull in and use the heavy
`<iostream>` machinery.
For traces that should always be printed, `fmt::print` is used since
CLOG currently doesn't provide that particular level of trace.
Tests were only minimally changed to drop usage of streams while keeping
their prior usage of older stdio APIs. We can change to using fmtlib
there too if desired.

NOTE: This also required some changes to Cycles code itself, who is now
directly including `BKE_image.hh` instead of declaring a few prototypes
of these functions in its `blender/utils.h` header (due to C++ functions
names mangling, this was not working anymore).

The `fmtlib` text formatting library, when compiled in C++20 onwards,
requires that the incoming format string is a compile-time constant so
it's able to perform type checks against it[1]. The change here ensures
it can do so.
While we're not set to go to C++20 any time soon, this is a backwards
compatible change that can be done today and allows us to focus on the
harder fmt-related issues later.
No change in performance or functionality was observed.

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', ...).

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.

When using Collection export skip drawing certain operator properties
which shouldn't apply for this style of export.
These suppressed properties were mentioned a few times while gathering
feedback for the feature and they are ignored internally when using
collection export anyhow.
This implements the ability to have file exporters added and configured on Collections.
Exporting is reachable from several locations:
- Individually on each exporter configuration: The `Export` button in each panel header
- For all exporters on the collection: The `Export All` button in the main panel interface
- For all exporters on all collections in the scene: The `File`->`Export All Collections` button
Visibility of which collections currently have exporters configured is done by ways of an icon added to the Collection row in the Outliner.
Adding multiple exporters for the same file type is permitted. The user is free to setup several exports of the same format but with different file locations or settings etc.
Notes:
Only USD and Wavefront OBJ are enabled for the initial commit. Additional formats, including those implemented in Python will be added as separate commits after this.

The MTLWriter was using a BLI_assert to check user-provided data, which
is incorrect and would only work in Debug builds. Release builds would
end up using too small of a buffer and would needlessly fail to append
the `.mtl` extension in some cases.
Instead, we now allow the path manipulation code to just use the full
max size available to it.

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.

Properly handle exceptions from STL and PLY code to prevent crashes on
invalid file paths.
This will now also Report errors/warnings to the callers of these
formats as well. For the UI this means a Report banner and Info editor
entry. For Python scripts this means an exception instead of silently
continuing.

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.

- Only calculate the necessary normals based on smooth/flat/mixed shading
- Use cached face normals instead of computing them
- Use a `VectorSet` for deduplication instead of a `Map`
- Deduplicate vertex normals and store indices in separate loops
- Avoid unnecessary duplication of face normal indices
- Inline simple function for slicing index span
Export time (ms) of 1.8m vertex mesh:
| Normals Domain | Before | After |
| --------------- | ------ | ----- |
| Face (flat) | 559 | 469 |
| Vertex (smooth) | 659 | 466 |
| Corner (mixed) | 656 | 640 |
The change of using normals from different domains and using a
VectorSet for de-duplication change the order of normals in the OBJ
files. Other than that, the results should be unchanged.

Remove the need for the `calc_vertex_coords` function by combining
the scale into the existing transform needed to export vertex positions
in global space. This simplifies code and may slightly improve performance
(I only observed a few percent difference in the positions export, which is
not a slower part of the export).
- Use Span where ownership is unnecessary
- Use Array when dynamic growth is unnecessary
- Use Vector in all other cases
Also remove unnecessary namespace specification.
`BKE_object_get_pre_modified_mesh` returns curve object data, later
accessing non-existing edge/face data triggered the crash.
`apply_modifiers` seems valid for mesh data only.

When exporting animation (one .obj file per animation frame), the old
Python OBJ exporter used to emit frame number with leading zeros, e.g.
"000012" which made sorting files by frame easier. The new C++ OBJ
exporter does not do that.
Fix that by reintroducing leading zeros. However, use 4 digits
("0012") since that matches 4 digits used in many other places, and
also it's very unlikely that someone would export more than several
thousand frames into OBJ. If that happens, it all works correctly
anyway, just without leading zeroes.
Fixes#116520
Except for vertex groups and a few older color types, these
are generally replaced by newer generic attribute types.
Also remove some includes of DNA_mesh_types.h, since it's
included indirectly by BKE_mesh.hh currently.
Each value is now out of the global namespace, so they can be shorter
and easier to read. Most of this commit just adds the necessary casting
and namespace specification. `enum class` can be forward declared since
it has a specified size. We will make use of that in the next commit.
Use the standard "elements_num" naming, and use the "corner" name rather
than the old "loop" name: `verts_num`, `edges_num`, and `corners_num`.
This matches the existing `faces_num` field which was already renamed.
