A 7 year old commit, 2ec00ea0c1, used incorrect indexing for
the optional array of precomputed poly normals. Apparently that code
path was never used, or this issue would have been discovered earlier.
Recent changes calculate normals on a temporary mesh and use those
for the "low-res" layer, meaning the precomputed path was always taken.
Also fixes missing code to read/write/free/copy color management settings
in various places. This can't be set through the UI currently, but still
should be handled consistently.
This is supposed to hold the latest improvement from the EEVEE rewrite branch.
Note that a restart is necessary in order for the engine to appear.
The registration code is a bit convoluted as it needs to be after the WM_init.
Volatile fields were introduced to the RenderResult struct years ago[1].
However, volatile is most likely not doing what it was intended to do
in this instance, and is problematic when moving files to c++ (see
discussion from D13962). There are complex rules around what happens to
these fields but none of them guarantee what the above commit alluded to.
This patch drops the volatile and cleans up the APIs surrounding it.

Instead of accessing the `CD_NORMAL` layer directly,
use the proper API for accessing mesh normals. Even if the
layer exists, the values might be incorrect due to a deformation.
Related to ef0e21f0ae, 969c4a45ce, and T95839.
This was an old issue, but recent image partial update changes made this more
likely to happen in some cases. Now ensure that whenever the rendered scene
switches the image is updated.

This is partially caused by a stupid mistake in cfa53e0fbe
where I missed initializing the `vert_normals` pointer in
`MResolvePixelData`. It's also caused by questionable assumptions
from DerivedMesh code that vertex normals would be valid.
The fix used here is to create a temporary mesh with the data necessary
to compute vertex normals, and ensure them here. This is used because
normal calculation is only implemented for `Mesh` and edit mesh, not
`DerivedMesh`. While this might not be great for performance, it's
potentially aligned with future refactoring of this code to remove
`DerivedMesh` completely. Since this is one of the last places the data
structure is used, that would be a great improvement.

The new adjacent faces method border lookup fails in some directions around
45 degrees
* Use 8 Dijkstra directions (also diagonally) to determine which polygon is the
closest to each pixel. Using only Manhattan distance lead to large parts of
the texture which were matched with the wrong polygon.
* Use neighbroing polygons for edge search. The Adjacent Faces algorithm needs
to determine the closest edge, in UV space, each pixel. To speed this up
first as map is built which finds the closest polygon for each pixel along
horizontal, vertical and diagonal steps. Because this can sometimes be one
edge off we first look in the polygon from the map, if that fails also
check the edges of its neighbouring UV polygons.

Currently there are many function declarations in `BKE_node.h` that
don't actually have implementations in blenkernel. This commit moves
the declarations to `NOD_composite.h`, `NOD_texture.h`, and
`NOD_shader.h` instead. This helps to clarify the purpose of the
different modules.

This significantly reduces discontinuities on UV seams, by giving a better
match of the texture filtered colors on both sides of the seam. It works by
using pixels from adjacent faces across the UV seam.
This new option is called "Adjacent Faces" and is the default. The old option
is called "Extend", and extends border pixels outwards.

As described in T91186, this commit moves mesh vertex normals into a
contiguous array of float vectors in a custom data layer, how face
normals are currently stored.
The main interface is documented in `BKE_mesh.h`. Vertex and face
normals are now calculated on-demand and cached, retrieved with an
"ensure" function. Since the logical state of a mesh is now "has
normals when necessary", they can be retrieved from a `const` mesh.
The goal is to use on-demand calculation for all derived data, but
leave room for eager calculation for performance purposes (modifier
evaluation is threaded, but viewport data generation is not).
**Benefits**
This moves us closer to a SoA approach rather than the current AoS
paradigm. Accessing a contiguous `float3` is much more efficient than
retrieving data from a larger struct. The memory requirements for
accessing only normals or vertex locations are smaller, and at the
cost of more memory usage for just normals, they now don't have to
be converted between float and short, which also simplifies code
In the future, the remaining items can be removed from `MVert`,
leaving only `float3`, which has similar benefits (see T93602).
Removing the combination of derived and original data makes it
conceptually simpler to only calculate normals when necessary.
This is especially important now that we have more opportunities
for temporary meshes in geometry nodes.
**Performance**
In addition to the theoretical future performance improvements by
making `MVert == float3`, I've done some basic performance testing
on this patch directly. The data is fairly rough, but it gives an idea
about where things stand generally.
- Mesh line primitive 4m Verts: 1.16x faster (36 -> 31 ms),
showing that accessing just `MVert` is now more efficient.
- Spring Splash Screen: 1.03-1.06 -> 1.06-1.11 FPS, a very slight
change that at least shows there is no regression.
- Sprite Fright Snail Smoosh: 3.30-3.40 -> 3.42-3.50 FPS, a small
but observable speedup.
- Set Position Node with Scaled Normal: 1.36x faster (53 -> 39 ms),
shows that using normals in geometry nodes is faster.
- Normal Calculation 1.6m Vert Cube: 1.19x faster (25 -> 21 ms),
shows that calculating normals is slightly faster now.
- File Size of 1.6m Vert Cube: 1.03x smaller (214.7 -> 208.4 MB),
Normals are not saved in files, which can help with large meshes.
As for memory usage, it may be slightly more in some cases, but
I didn't observe any difference in the production files I tested.
**Tests**
Some modifiers and cycles test results need to be updated with this
commit, for two reasons:
- The subdivision surface modifier is not responsible for calculating
normals anymore. In master, the modifier creates different normals
than the result of the `Mesh` normal calculation, so this is a bug
fix.
- There are small differences in the results of some modifiers that
use normals because they are not converted to and from `short`
anymore.
**Future improvements**
- Remove `ModifierTypeInfo::dependsOnNormals`. Code in each modifier
already retrieves normals if they are needed anyway.
- Copy normals as part of a better CoW system for attributes.
- Make more areas use lazy instead of eager normal calculation.
- Remove `BKE_mesh_normals_tag_dirty` in more places since that is
now the default state of a new mesh.
- Possibly apply a similar change to derived face corner normals.

When tiled rendering was used the render result was
allocated at the end of every view layer render as
opposite of an intended end of all rendering.
Modify the render_result_end so that it only ensures
pixels are allocated if pixels are actually copied
over.
Goals of this refactor:
* More unified approach to updating everything that needs to be updated
after a change in a node tree.
* The updates should happen in the correct order and quadratic or worse
algorithms should be avoided.
* Improve detection of changes to the output to avoid tagging the depsgraph
when it's not necessary.
* Move towards a more declarative style of defining nodes by having a
more centralized update procedure.
The refactor consists of two main parts:
* Node tree tagging and update refactor.
* Generally, when changes are done to a node tree, it is tagged dirty
until a global update function is called that updates everything in
the correct order.
* The tagging is more fine-grained compared to before, to allow for more
precise depsgraph update tagging.
* Depsgraph changes.
* The shading specific depsgraph node for node trees as been removed.
* Instead, there is a new `NTREE_OUTPUT` depsgrap node, which is only
tagged when the output of the node tree changed (e.g. the Group Output
or Material Output node).
* The copy-on-write relation from node trees to the data block they are
embedded in is now non-flushing. This avoids e.g. triggering a material
update after the shader node tree changed in unrelated ways. Instead
the material has a flushing relation to the new `NTREE_OUTPUT` node now.
* The depsgraph no longer reports data block changes through to cycles
through `Depsgraph.updates` when only the node tree changed in ways
that do not affect the output.
Avoiding unnecessary updates seems to work well for geometry nodes and cycles.
The situation is a bit worse when there are drivers on the node tree, but that
could potentially be improved separately in the future.
Avoiding updates in eevee and the compositor is more tricky, but also less urgent.
* Eevee updates are triggered by calling `DRW_notify_view_update` in
`ED_render_view3d_update` indirectly from `DEG_editors_update`.
* Compositor updates are triggered by `ED_node_composite_job` in `node_area_refresh`.
This is triggered by calling `ED_area_tag_refresh` in `node_area_listener`.
Removing updates always has the risk of breaking some dependency that no
one was aware of. It's not unlikely that this will happen here as well. Adding
back missing updates should be quite a bit easier than getting rid of
unnecessary updates though.
