Also use const arguments, move a null check from the callback to the
PBVH function, and reorganice the PBVH code to be in a consistent
place in the file and to simplify the logic.
Automatic memory management and clearer ownership! Requires
removing `MEM_CXX_CLASS_ALLOC_FUNCS` from `MeshRuntime`,
but that's used very inconsistently anyway, and `MeshRuntime` isn't
that large.
Avoid reusing the custom data type enum with additional values. Instead
use std::variant and type names to properly distinguish between custom
and generic attribute requests. Use a Vector to hold the requests.
Also attempt to simplify the string key building process for requests
and groups of requests in batches. Previously for every PBVH node it
would rebuild the key 3 times, now it only does it once. It's hard to
measure, but that process did show up in profiles, so performance is
probably slightly improved when many nodes are handled at once.
Implement the next phases of bounds improvement design #96968.
Mainly the following changes:
Don't use `Object.runtime.bb` for performance caching volume bounds.
This is redundant with the cache in most geometry data-block types.
Instead, this becomes `Object.runtime.bounds_eval`, and is only used
where it's actually needed: syncing the bounds from the evaluated
geometry in the active depsgraph to the original object.
Remove all redundant functions to access geometry bounds with an
Object argument. These make the whole design confusing, since they
access geometry bounds at an object level.
Use `std::optional<Bounds<float3>>` to pass and store bounds instead
of an allocated `BoundBox` struct. This uses less space, avoids
small heap allocations, and generally simplifies code, since we
usually only want the min and max anyway.
After this, to avoid performance regressions, we should also cache
bounds in volumes, and maybe the legacy curve and GP data types
(though it might not be worth the effort for those legacy types).

Currently object bounds (`object.runtime.bb`) are lazily initialized
when accessed. This access happens from arbitrary threads, and
is unprotected by a mutex. This can cause access to stale data at
best, and crashes at worst. Eager calculation is meant to keep this
working, but it's fragile.
Since e8f4010611, geometry bounds are cached in the geometry
itself, which makes this object-level cache redundant. So, it's clearer
to build the `BoundBox` from those cached bounds and return it by
value, without interacting with the object's cached bounding box.
The code change is is mostly a move from `const BoundBox *` to
`std::optional<BoundBox>`. This is only one step of a larger change
described in #96968. Followup steps would include switching to
a simpler and smaller `Bounds` type, removing redundant object-
level access, and eventually removing `object.runtime.bb`.
Access of bounds from the object for mesh, curves, and point cloud
objects should now be thread-safe. Other object types still lazily
initialize the object `BoundBox` cache since they don't have
a data-level cache.

Pass the mesh to the drawing functions so it doesn't have to be
retrieved from the PBVH. It's nice to rely less on the PBVH `me`
pointer, since it's a fairly ugly "back pointer" which isn't necessarily
good design.
The assert was assuming that the attribute request is properly
initialized and that was not the case: the "special" data layers
like coordinates, normals, masks, and face sets did not initialize
domain in the attribute request.
The domain is now properly initialized. As well as there is an
assert added in other PBVH types for the face sets. It is possible
to add asserts in more places, but it is not directly related to
this CL.

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
Use StringRef where possible to avoid copying strings, avoid
redundant string returns, and use std::string for attribute
request names now that all the relevant code is C++.
Implements the rest of #101689, after 5e9ea9243b.
- `vdata` -> `vert_data`
- `edata` -> `edge_data`
- `pdata` -> `face_data`
- `ldata` -> `loop_data`
A deeper rename of `loop` to `corner` will be proposed as a next
step, and renaming `totvert` and `totedge` can be done separately.

Split much of BKE_pbvh.h into BKE_pbvh_api.hh.
BKE_pbvh.h is included by BKE_paint.h, which in
turn is included by large amounts of code including
RNA.
This makes it extremely difficult to change
or clean up the PBVH API, since each modification
of BKE_pbvh.h can take 20-30 minutes to compile,
even on a quad-core system with an SSD. This
commit fixes that by moving most of BKE_pbvh.h
into another file and just having the core,
external-facing interfaces in BKE_pbvh.h.
Is probably harmless in practice, but the ASAN was generating an
error about it:
draw_manager_data.cc:187:59: runtime error: member access within null pointer of type 'struct DRWUniformChunk'

A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:

This patch refactors the texture samples code by mainly splitting the
eGPUSamplerState enum into multiple smaller enums and packing them
inside a GPUSamplerState struct. This was done because many members of
the enum were mutually exclusive, which was worked around during setting
up the samplers in the various backends, and additionally made the API
confusing, like the GPU_texture_wrap_mode function, which had two
mutually exclusive parameters.
The new structure also improved and clarified the backend sampler cache,
reducing the cache size from 514 samplers to just 130 samplers, which
also slightly improved the initialization time. Further, the
GPU_SAMPLER_MAX signal value was naturally incorporated into the
structure using the GPU_SAMPLER_STATE_TYPE_INTERNAL type.
The only expected functional change is in the realtime compositor, which
now supports per-axis repetition control, utilizing new API functions
for that purpose.
This patch is loosely based on an older patch D14366 by Ethan Hall.

Other areas like blenkernel and Cycles clamp the material indices to be
positive so this should be consistent with them. There is still discussion
if material indices should be made impossible, but this at least avoids
crashing for the 3.5 release.
There was also an inconsistency in how sculpt mode handles material index
higher than the number of slots.

Refactoring mesh code, it has become clear that local cleanups and
simplifications are limited by the need to keep a C public API for
mesh functions. This change makes code more obvious and makes further
refactoring much easier.
- Add a new `BKE_mesh.hh` header for a C++ only mesh API
- Introduce a new `blender::bke::mesh` namespace, documented here:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/Objects/Mesh#Namespaces
- Move some functions to the new namespace, cleaning up their arguments
- Move code to `Array` and `float3` where necessary to use the new API
- Define existing inline mesh data access functions to the new header
- Keep some C API functions where necessary because of RNA
- Move all C++ files to use the new header, which includes the old one
In the future it may make sense to split up `BKE_mesh.hh` more, but for
now keeping the same name as the existing header keeps things simple.

Straightforward port. I took the oportunity to remove some C vector
functions (ex: copy_v2_v2).
This makes some changes to DRWView to accomodate the alignement
requirements of the float4x4 type.

`PBVH_Leaf` nodes are now split into a new `PBVH_TexLeaf`
node type when using the paint brush. These nodes are
split by image pixels, not triangles. This greatly
increases performance when working with large
textures on low-poly meshes.

Struct members loc/size were misleading as they read as if the object
data stored object level transform channels. Rename these to match RNA
with a `texspace_*` prefix to make it clear these struct members only
apply to texture-space transform.
Also rename ME_AUTOSPACE & ME_AUTOSPACE_EVALUATED to
ME_TEXSPACE_FLAG_AUTO & ME_TEXSPACE_FLAG_AUTO_EVALUATED.
Currently the `MLoopUV` struct stores UV coordinates and flags related
to editing UV maps in the UV editor. This patch changes the coordinates
to use the generic 2D vector type, and moves the flags into three
separate boolean attributes. This follows the design in T95965, with
the ultimate intention of simplifying code and improving performance.
Importantly, the change allows exporters and renderers to use UVs
"touched" by geometry nodes, which only creates generic attributes.
It also allows geometry nodes to create "proper" UV maps from scratch,
though only with the Store Named Attribute node for now.
The new design considers any 2D vector attribute on the corner domain
to be a UV map. In the future, they might be distinguished from regular
2D vectors with attribute metadata, which may be helpful because they
are often interpolated differently.
Most of the code changes deal with passing around UV BMesh custom data
offsets and tracking the boolean "sublayers". The boolean layers are
use the following prefixes for attribute names: vert selection: `.vs.`,
edge selection: `.es.`, pinning: `.pn.`. Currently these are short to
avoid using up the maximum length of attribute names. To accommodate
for these 4 extra characters, the name length limit is enlarged to 68
bytes, while the maximum user settable name length is still 64 bytes.
Unfortunately Python/RNA API access to the UV flag data becomes slower.
Accessing the boolean layers directly is be better for performance in
general.
Like the other mesh SoA refactors, backward and forward compatibility
aren't affected, and won't be changed until 4.0. We pay for that by
making mesh reading and writing more expensive with conversions.
