Blender has the option to disable SSBO support. This was accessible
as a command line option `--debug-gpu-disable-ssbo`.
Blender 4.0 has a hard requirement for OpenGL 4.3 which includes
SSBO support by default.
This PR removes the command line option as it makes no sense to
have it anymore.

Loading add-ons after key-maps resolves a problem where add-ons would
setup shortcuts before Blender had created the key-maps.
Making add-ons have to declare the key-maps using region & window types
matching Blender's internal values.
This PR a pitfall pointed out in #110030.

This renames the WITH_WINDOWS_PDB and WITH_WINDOWS_STRIPPED_PDB cmake
options to WITH_WINDOWS_RELEASE_PDB WITH_WINDOWS_RELEASE_STRIPPED_PDB
The Stripped PDB isn't cost free to generate, and is only needed for
builds that are distributed to end users. There is no benefit in making
one for a debug build as the debugger locally will prefer to use the
bigger un-stripped PDB anyhow.
This also stops the copy/install of the PDB for anything but a release
build, this file is about 1.6G for a debug build, and there is really
no need to do this for local development, as the debugger will find/use
the PDB from its original location.
This brings down the time needed for an incremental link on a debug
build by about 30% (10->7 seconds on my local system)
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.
This logic has not been working since 2014 [0] although it was briefly
fixed (by accident) when TARGETDIR_VER was made an absolute directory
[1] (since reverted as that caused problems with CPACK/WIN32).
"file(REMOVE_RECURSE ${TARGETDIR_VER})" would attempt to remove:
- "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/${TARGETDIR_VER}" instead of
- "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/${TARGETDIR_VER}".
While this could be re-enabled by correcting the path,
it slows down the install target by copying files every "install".
This could be made to detect changes and only cleaning files in this
case however this ends up being fairly involved, see: PR !111084.
As stale files haven't been causing problems as far as I'm aware,
remove this code.

Use the installed executable location instead of the build location,
this would work in situations when the build location had relevant
files accessible but this is often not the case.
Use the variable instead of "." for the install destination.
While they're equivalent, it's not discoverable where the value
for "." is set.
It also results in paths containing "/./", while valid isn't so nice
if the paths are copied from the terminal for use elsewhere.
This is done by forcing the Mesa D3D12 driver (which both use to render
Blender) to report that it is OpenGL 4.3 compatible.
It mostly is, other than a few texture extensions that are not yet
implemented. Blender (currently) does not use those.
There is a discussion pending with the viewport/evee team on those
extentions

The cleanup of blenkernel last weeks , caused the house of cards to
collapse on top of bf_gpu's shader_builder, which is off by default
but used on a daily basis by the rendering team.
Given the fixes forward in #110394 ran into a ODR violation in OSL that
was hiding there for years, I don't see another way forward without
impeding the rendering teams productivity for "quite a while" as there
is no guarantee the OSL issue would be the end of it.
the only way forward appears to be back.

The problematic commit was 07fe6c5a57
as blenkernel links most of blender, it's a bit of a link order issue
magnet. Given all these commits stack, it's near impossible to revert
just that one without spending a significant amount of time resolving
merge conflicts. 99% of that work was automated, so easier to just
revert all of them, and re-do the work, than it is to deal with the
merge conflicts.

There's quite a few libraries that depend on dna_type_offsets.h
but had gotten to it by just adding the folder that contains it to
their includes INC section without declaring a dependency to
bf_dna in the LIB section.
which occasionally lead to the lib building before bf_dna and the
header being missing, while this generally gets fixed in CMake by
adding bf_dna to the LIB section of the lib, however until last
week all libraries in the LIB section were linked as INTERFACE so
adding it in there did not resolve the build issue.
To make things still build, we sprinkled add_dependencies wherever
we needed it to force a build order.
This diff :
Declares public include folders for the bf_dna target so there's
no more fudging the INC section required to get to them.
Removes all dna related paths from the INC section for all
libraries.
Adds an alias target bf:dna to signify it has been updated to
modern cmake
Declares a dependency on bf::dna for all libraries that require it
Removes (almost) all calls to add_dependencies for bf_dna
Future work:
Because of the manual dependency management that was done, there is
now some "clutter" with libs depending on bf_dna that realistically
don't. Example bf_intern_opencolorio itself has no dependency on
bf_dna at all, doesn't need it, doesn't use it. However the
dna include folder had been added to it in the past since bf_blenlib
uses dna headers in some of its public headers and
bf_intern_opencolorio does use those blenlib headers.
Given bf_blenlib now correctly declares the dependency on bf_dna
as public bf_intern_opencolorio will get the dna header directory
automatically from CMake, hence some cleanup could be done for
bf_intern_opencolorio
Because 99% of the changes in this diff have been automated, this diff
does not seek to address these issues as there is no easy way to
determine why a certain dependency is in place. A developer will have
to make a pass a this at some later point in time. As I'd rather not
mix automated and manual labour.
There are a few libraries that could not be automatically processed
(ie bf_blendthumb) that also will need this manual look-over.

This is the minimal change required to start using modern CMake in the
blender build system. This change is designed to allow small
incremental changes to the build system rather than doing it in one
big bang which would be unmaintainable (for me)
The biggest functional change is, previously all libraries in the
`LIB` section of a `blender_add_lib` call had the `INTERFACE` scope,
which is rarely, if ever the correct scope. This diff changes this to
`PRIVATE`
Concrete implications of this diff :
The `LIB`, `INC` and `INC_SYS` sections of an `blender_add_lib` call
now allow scoping keywords (`PUBLIC`, `PRIVATE,` `INTERFACE`) to
declare the scope of the dependency.
Right now the only library using any modern cmake is
`bf_intern_atomic` which is an header only interface library that will
just advertise its include directories.
This allows us to clean up any `CMakeLists.txt` that adds
`../../../intern/atomic` to its `INC` section to remove it in `INC` by
adding a `PRIVATE bf_intern_atomic` to the `LIB` section.

The steam environment sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH with a libtbb.so.2 that is
incompatible with our own. This wrapper scripts gives our own library
priority.
There is a more modern "Steam Linux Runtime" that can be used instead of
the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH Steam Runtime" and which launches Blender, but it
fails to detect GPU compute libraries. So that was not an option.

Currently on Windows some dependencies are built with MinGW/GCC 3.x
this commit removes that, in favor of building them with MSVC
via msys2. This will make it easier in the future to offer Win/Arm64
builds of blender.
Notable changes:
- This change drops support for the external libxvid library in favor
of ffmpegs built in support for this format. This has been done with
permission from the VFX module.

This reverts commit 451751380c.
Seems like this broke linux/mac, likely needs to detect of libxvid
is there or not. For now revert until we sort this out.

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:
https://reuse.software/faq/
When a file passed in from the command line failed to load,
blender would exit & save the quit.blend.
Resolve by adding a `do_user_exit_actions` to WM_exit_ex which is
false in backgrounds mode or when an error has occurred.
