This commit adds a node that generates a text paragraph as curve
instances. The inputs on the node control the overall shape of the
paragraph, and other nodes can be used to move the individual instances
afterwards. To output more than one line, the "Special Characters" node
can be used.
The node outputs instances instead of real geometry so that it doesn't
have to duplicate work for every character afterwards. This is much
more efficient, because all of the curve evaluation and nodes like fill
curve don't have to repeat the same calculation for every instance of
the same character.
In the future, the instances component will support attributes, and the
node can output attribute fields like "Word Index" and "Line Index".

This patch adds a new node called "Special Characters" with two string
outputs: "Line Break" and "Tab". This is necessary because the newline
character cannot be easily typed with a keyboard, but is necessary for
the string to curve node.

This adds initial limited support for socket tooltips. It's limited
in a couple of ways for now:
* Only works when hovering over the socket shape, not when hovering
over the value in the socket.
* Only works for built-in nodes that already use the new node
declaration system. This can later be extended to support pynodes.
Those limitations are well worth it for now, given that the
implementation is quite simple and the impact on usability is quite
large. More complex updates to the layout system, that would allow
showing socket tooltips in the nodes, can be done later. With the
current implementation we can at least start writing tooltips for
geometry nodes now.
This commit already adds tooltips for the Cylinder node as an example.

In meshes modifer the Lowest is 0 and Highest is 1.0 and this was working inverted for grease pencil. Now, it works equals to meshes modifier.
Also changed the tooltip to keep consistency with meshes modifier.
When writing asset catalog definition files, order the catalogs by
(path, UUID). This ensures that every write produces the same file, playing
nice with versioning / synchronisation systems.
Add `operator<` to C++ class to allow lexicographic ordering of UUIDs.
This will be necessary when writing asset catalogs to disk in a predictable
(i.e. ordered) manner.
The "path with trailing slash" test catalog was using the same path as
another catalog, which meant it was ignored after doing the path
cleanup. It's now different in the test file in SVN, so it'll actually
show up in the test.
This commit also add an experimental userPreferences to prevent proxies
conversions on file load, and reporting for amount of coverted proxies
(and possible issues).
Note that potentially linked proxies from other libraries are not
hamdled here (this feature seems to be broken anyway in master
currently?).
This adds a replacement for the deprecated Point Distribute node.
Arguments for the name change can be found in T91155.
Descriptions of the sockets are available in D12536.
Thanks to Jarrett Johnson for the initial patch!

When Browsing libraries the asset files were opened multiple times.
once to determine the needed groups to query and once for each
group to query the items in the group. For file browsing this makes sense
but for asset browsing this can be reduced.
This patch will load the asset files recursively and only opens them once.
Another change is that only the assets are requested and not filtered out
later in the process.
This patch is needed to simplify the library indexing. Where
we need access to the full library content.
## The numbers ##
Benchmarked by adding scenes of the spring open movie to the default
asset library. Refreshing the asset library would recursively load all the files
there.

This implements the update logic for the vizualization of which
sockets pass data or constants directly, and which pass functions.
The socket shapes may still have to be updated. That should be
done separately, because it might be a bit more involved, because
socket shapes are currently linked to keyframe shapes. Currently
the circle and diamond shapes are used with the following meanings:
- Input Sockets:
- Circle: Required to be a single value.
- Diamond: This input supports fields.
- Output Sockets:
- Circle: This output is a single value.
- Diamond: This output may be a field.
Connecting a field to a circle input socket is an error, since a
field cannot be converted to a single value. If the socket shape
is a diamond with a dot in the middle, it means it is currently
a single value, but could be a field.
In addition to socket shapes, the intention is to draw node links
differently based on the field status. However, the exact method for
conveying that isn't decided yet.

Previously this was only loading built-in render passes. Now instead of trying
to load the scene render passes, load whatever passes exist in the cache file.
Using a RenderResult (or a Viewer) was never really working (think you
cant get a real ImBuff from these) -- cannot use it as a clone, stencil
or canvas [Single Image paint texture slot].
In the case of using it as a 2D paint clone image this would also crash
[due to the Image Editor drawing refactor in 2.91].
Now [in the spirit of T73182 / D11179], prevent using these where
unappropriate by using rna pointer polling functions.
Also add a security check for the 2D paint clone image crash in case a
stencil ImBuff cannot be provided for some reason, but generally old
files are now patched in do_versions_after_linking_300 (thx @brecht!).

This follows three main targets:
* Make creation of new tree UIs easy.
* Groundwork to generalize tree UIs (so e.g. Outliner, animation
channels, asset catalogs and spreadsheet data-sets don't have to
re-implement basic tree UI code) or even other data-view UIs.
* Better separate data and UI state. E.g. with this, tree-item selection
or the open/collapsed state can be stored on the UI level, rather than
in data. (Asset Catalogs need this, storing UI state info in them is
not an option.)
In addition, the design should be well testable and could even be
exposed to Python.
Note that things will likely change in master still. E.g. the actually
resulting UI isn't very nice visually yet.
The design is documented here:

This patch simplifies the curve object to mesh conversion
used by the object convert operator and exporters.
The existing code had a convoluted model of ownership, and did quite
a bit of unnecessary work. It also assumed that curve objects always
evaluated to a mesh, which is not the case anymore.
Now the code checks if the object it receives is evaluated. If so,
it can simply return a copy of the evaluated mesh (or convert the
evaluated curve wire edges to a mesh if there was no evaluated mesh).
If the object isn't evaluated, it uses a temporary copy of the object
with modifiers removed to create the mesh in the same way.
This follows up on the recent changes to curve evaluation,
namely that the result is always either a mesh or a wire curve.

This adds three new methods:
* `InstancesComponent::foreach_reference_as_geometry(...)`
* `GeometrySet::attribute_foreach(...)`
* `GeometrySet::gather_attributes_for_propagation(...)`
The goal is that these iteration primitives can be used in places
where we use more specialized iterators currently.

Put the `bUUID` class in the `blender` namespace, instead of the
`blender::bke` namespace.
As a result, some C++ code now correctly uses the C++ class, where
previously it would use the C struct and use implicit casting where
necessary. As a result, support for initializer lists had to be
explicitly coded and in another place an explicit `::bUUID` was
necessary to avoid ambiguity.
