When sculpting high-res meshes, the total number of nodes in the BVH
tree can get quite high and — especially when the brush radius is low —
comparable to the number of vertices influenced by the brush. Under
these conditions, algorithms that run on each node of the BVH,
especially if single-threaded, can become a bottleneck. This issue is
particularly prominent in multires, where the leaf limit is 2500.
The main culprit is `BKE_pbvh_redraw_BB`, which is used when flushing an
update to calculate the redraw bounds. Because partial drawing is
currently broken, and because a future reimplementation of partial
drawing is unlikely to adopt the existing approach, this PR removes the
partial drawing logic from `flush_update_step`.
This patch provides a speedup ranging from 1.25x to 1.45x, depending on
the brush size, when sculpting a small portion of a multires mesh with
roughly 8.1 million faces and 12.6 million vertices using the draw
brush.

Changes only noticeable to pen users, this PR changes the status bar
information while pressing down on the corner zones but before moving
more than the threshold to start. Split-specific is not shown until
the threshold is met. Most mouse users are dead-still at this point,
but pen users have more movement which currently causes a status bar
change.

Mistake in 4d7274b7f4.
The Previous code:
```
float(*deformedVerts)[3] = *deformcos;
float(*origVerts)[3] = static_cast<float(*)[3]>(MEM_dupallocN(deformedVerts));
```
Didn't create a copy of the positions for the `deformedVerts` variable.
It's meant to modify the input position array. It was probably done that way
since dealing with pointers to pointers in C was annoying. With `Array`,
it's not annoying anymore, we can just use that directly.
When the evaluated mesh doesn't have an edit mesh that corresponds
to the original edit mesh, don't use evaluated deformed positions, just
use the mesh's original positions instead.
It's better for performance to use a single thread pool for all areas of
Blender, and this gets us closer to that.
Bullet, Quadriflow, Mantaflow and Ceres still contain OpenMP code, but it
was already disabled.
On macOS, our OpenMP libraries are no longer compatible with the latest
Xcode 16.3. By removing OpenMP we no longer have to solve that problem.
OpenMP was disabled for bpy module builds on Windows ARM64, which also no
longer needs to be solved.

GPU_DEPTH_NONE leads to issues with Intel GPU drivers on Windows
where camera gizmos cannot be shifted. glGetQueryObjectuiv for
GL_SAMPLES_PASSED seems to return zero in all cases.
This might be due to undefined behavior of OpenGL when the depth
test is disabled and rendering to a depth render target-only
framebuffer. Using GPU_DEPTH_ALWAYS fixes the issue.

Previously pressing `c` to cut through mesh will only update knife cuts
when mouse is moved again, this means if you press `c` at the end of
mouse stroke, it will not update cuts and you end up still only cutting
front faces. This fix makes it that the toggle refreshes knife cuts
immediately.

`win->ime_data` could be non-null when it's read from a file, and
subsequent dependence of this value would crash on interface handlers.
Now always clear it when ghost window is ensured after reading the file.
The actual reset is put in `wm_window_ensure_eventstate`, since it's
also conceptually a part of "event state".

Under some circumstances the `value_task` run by node tree updates
needs access to a node group topology cache. Unlike the `usage_task`
it was not ensuring the cache for the node group, so a stale cache
could be used (triggers assert).

This was an issue previously not noticed. There were two bugs:
- When an out of range index was somehow detected, line art discards the
entire stroke after the point, which causes remaining point positions
to be invalid. In fact the index should never go out of range unless
total points in the scene exceeds `size_t`.
- Line art point index is global, not local to objects, previously the
"object starting index" was not subtracted from the final point index
when transferring weights, this will lead to incorrect weight being
transferred/discarded.
Now both problems have been properly taken care of.

The goal is to be able to switch away from OpenMP by default.
In order to achieve this a new parallel_for() function is added,
which follows the same declaration as the one from TBB. For now
the simplest formulation is used where range is provided by start
and last indices (the last one is excluded from the range).
The side effect is that Libmv now expects the threading limits
to be imposed by the default thread area (or have an explicit
thread area with the limit in the caller). In a way this is
similar to other external libraries.

Caused by not checking against key array size. The issue was introduced
in ee9e4ead8d. It looks like mistake done during refactoring, because
the code was supposed to fix previous transition segment, not only the
next one.
The previously code attempted to reduce levels of indentation, but it
was less readable and error prone. Now it should be more obvious what
the intent is.

The bug was partially caused by the fact that
`translate_snap_increment_ex` would interpret sequencer-specific
snapping bit `SEQ_SNAP_TO_FRAME_RANGE` as `SCE_SNAP_TO_INCREMENT`. Add a
check to fix this.
Technically, #122759 never added snapping for cursors in the preview,
but we can take this opportunity to also add the support, which is
relatively simple.

Part of #131825
Currently, no change to an RNA property invoked from the UI while inside
Vertex Paint mode creates an undo step. This includes both tool
properties (e.g. brush size, tool settings) as well as mesh properties
(symmetry, active vertex group, selection mode).
This behavior was initially introduced to avoid creating extra undo
steps when painting or sculpting and changing tool settings, however,
it applied to all property changes performed while in any paint mode,
including changes to mesh datablock properties.
To fix this behavior, this commit removes the usage of the sculpt undo
system from Vertex Paint and removes it from the list of modes that
are incompatible with memfile undo.
This switch from Sculpt Undo to Memfile Undo improves the performance of
the undo operator from 90ms to 9ms, representing a 10x speedup.
This speedup is possible because Vertex Paint is not fully integrated
with the Paint BVH drawing system, which normally has the benefit of
skipping depsgraph reevaluation and subsequent BVH rebuilding on each
stroke.
Anecdotally, when painting with large strokes on a mesh of 2 million
vertices, this change to using Memfile undo also uses anywhere from
half as much to a third as much memory compared to the Sculpt Undo
implementation (6 GB vs 2 GB).

### Implementation Notes / Thoughts
An alternate approach to getting similar if not better performance in Vertex Paint mode is to integrate it with `BKE_sculptsession_use_pbvh_draw` and `flush_update_step`, however this represents an unknown amount of work and does not reduce the number of consumers of Sculpt Undo. Given that the general direction in the module right now is to reduce dependency upon this system and migrate more to using Memfile undo where possible, spending extra effort on integration does not seem like the correct decision to make.
### Testing
* Verified undo step is created when selection mode is changed
* Verified undo step is created when symmetry is changed
* Verified undo step is created when active color attribute is changed
* Verified undo step is created when color attribute underlying data is changed

The scene isn't being changed here, especially object selection. The mesh
is being changed though (or rather its shape key data-block, but that really
means the objects using it need to be reevaluated). For some reason this
doesn't make a functional difference currently though.

Adds new NURBS knot mode NURBS_KNOT_MODE_FREE. Knots are stored in
`CurvesGeometry::custom_knots`. Knot offsets binding them to their
curves are calculated at runtime and held in a cache. This commit adds
custom knots support to OBJ import. It is the only way create such
curves for now. Legacy curve's tools don't support this knot mode,
thus on any modification knots get regenerated and whole shape changes.
If to convert imported legacy curve to new curves, point deletion,
duplicate and extrude preserve custom knots.

Cause by trying to deference a null batch.
In normal case, these calls never create a command
and are discarded early. 4.4 introduced the
polyline_draw_workaround to remove the use of geometry
shaders. These were not guarded against zero vertices
calls.
Adding an early out clause fixes the issue.

While profiling a scene with many objects, I noticed some unexpected
functions taking a significant time of depsgraph creation/evaluation.
String length calculation and equality comparison was taking longer than
it should, and some simple methods were appearing in profiles that should
be inlined instead.
There are more places where this sort of change would be helpful, this
commit just changes places using `OperationIDKey` and `ComponentIDKey`.

This was caused by the deinterleaved format being
incorrectly decoded by the `bind_attribute_as_ssbo`
function.
Accumulating the offset should be done for all attributes
and not only the one being used. Furthermore, this needs
to happen only once per attribute and not once per name.
Moving the offset computation out of the name loop
fixes the issue.

If render engines dont specify `RE_USE_PREVIEW` / `bl_use_preview`, they
wont pass the `ED_check_engine_supports_preview` test.
That is mostly meant to tell blender this engine is capable of
generating (Material) previews and if it isnt, they will skip generating
button previews in `icon_preview_startjob_all_sizes`.
There are already exceptions for type of IDs that can still generate
previews (think Asset previews for Objects or Actions), so the same
exception can be made for Images and Brushes as well (these previews
will just befulled from the Image buffer, that should not rely on the engine
whatsoever). We can also be permissive on Groups (they are treated
similar to Objects).
NOTE: this was reported for the Workbench engine, in another (future)
commit, we might even consider flagging that engine `RE_USE_PREVIEW` as
well (see comments in the PR)?

When frame rate is to fast the previous implementation could use a semaphore

When debugging with gdb in vscode, the stuff I print when executing a script in
the text editor does not show up in the terminal. It does work when I flush
explicitly though using `print(..., flush=True)`. This is quite annoying.
The solution is to always flush `stdout` and `stderr` automatically when running
a script. This is done using the CPython API, as just using
`fflush(stdout/stderr)` did not solve the issue.
