With this commit, curve objects support the geometry nodes modifier.
Curves objects now evaluate to `CurveEval` unless there was a previous
implicit conversion (tessellating modifiers, mesh modifiers, or the
settings in the curve "Geometry" panel). In the new code, curves are
only considered to be the wire edges-- any generated surface is a mesh
instead, stored in the evaluated geometry set.
The consolidation of concepts mentioned above allows remove a lot of
code that had to do with maintaining the `DispList` type temporarily
for modifiers and rendering. Instead, render engines see a separate
object for the mesh from the mesh geometry component, and when the
curve object evaluates to a curve, the `CurveEval` is always used for
drawing wire edges.
However, currently the `DispList` type is still maintained and used as
an intermediate step in implicit mesh conversion. In the future, more
uses of it could be changed to use `CurveEval` and `Mesh` instead.
This is mostly not changed behavior, it is just a formalization of
existing logic after recent fixes for 2.8 versions last year and two
years ago. Also, in the future more functionality can be converted
to nodes, removing cases of implicit conversions. For more discussion
on that topic, see T89676.
The `use_fill_deform` option is removed. It has not worked properly
since 2.62, and the choice for filling a curve before or after
deformation will work much better and be clearer with a node system.
Applying the geometry nodes modifier to generate a curve is not
implemented with this commit, so applying the modifier won't work
at all. This is a separate technical challenge, and should be solved
in a separate step.

Previously fluid simulation and Alembic modifiers had a dedicated function
to query the velocity for motion blur. Now use a more generic system where
those modifiers output a velocity attribute.
Advantages:
* Geometry and particle nodes can output velocity through the same mechanism,
or read the attribute coming from earlier modifiers.
* The velocity can be preserved through modifiers like subdivision surface or
auto smooth.
* USD and Alembic previously only output velocity from fluid simulation, now
they work with velocity from other sources too.
* Simplifies the code for renderers like Cycles and exporters like
Alembic and USD.
This breaks compatibility:
* External renderers and exporters accessing these velocities through the
Python API now need to use the attribute instead.
* Existing modifier node setups that create an attribute named "velocity"
will render differently with motion blur.

This is an initial implementation of a USD importer.
This work is comprised of Tangent Animation's open source USD importer,
combined with features @makowalski had implemented.
The design is very similar to the approach taken in the Alembic
importer. The core functionality resides in a collection of "reader"
classes, each of which is responsible for converting an instance of a
USD prim to the corresponding Blender Object representation.
The flow of control for the conversion can be followed in the
`import_startjob()` and `import_endjob()` functions in `usd_capi.cc`.
The `USDStageReader` class is responsible for traversing the USD stage
and instantiating the appropriate readers.

This removes a lot of unnecessary code that is generated by
the compiler automatically.
In very few cases, a defaulted destructor in a .cc file is
still necessary, because of forward declarations in the header.
I removed some defaulted virtual destructors, because they are not
necessary, when the parent class has a virtual destructor already.
Defaulted constructors are only necessary when there is another
constructor, but the class should still be default constructible.

* USD and OpenVDB headers use deprecated TBB headers, suppress all deprecation
warnings there since we have no control over them.
* For our own TBB includes, use the individual headers rather than the tbb.h that
includes everything to avoid warnings, rather than suppressing all.
This is in anticipation of the TBB 2020 upgrade in D10359. Ref D10361.
Extract the mesh instancing code from the mesh writing function into a
generic 'mark as instance' function on the abstract USD writer. This will
help in supporting non-mesh instances.
No functional changes.
Remove the hack for library initialisation; this is no longer necessary
as the required information can be passed to the USD library after its
static initialisers have run.
This new approach is compatible with both the patched and original USD
library. This means that platform maintainers don't need to rebuild the
USD library until the next upgrade.

Initialize the USD library when used (instead of at startup), so that
this can happen inside the IO/USD module. This makes calls to the USD
library local to Blender's USD code.
Note that failure to find the USD JSON files will now only be reported
when the USD exporter is used, and not on every startup of Blender.
This is the first step in cleaning up the way Blender patches and
initialises the USD library.

The fix for T75936 made it possible to export invisible objects to
Alembic. This commit applies the same approach to the USD exporter.
The USD and Alembic code is slightly different in terms of where in the
exported file the visibility attribute is stored. In USD the visibility
is used to prune the scene graph, and thus there are only two options:
"hidden" and "inherited". Setting the visiblity of a node in the scene
graph to "hidden" immediately hides all its children. To allow hidden
parents with visible children, the visibility is stored on the object
data (so the geometry/camera/lamp/etc) instead.
This replaces header include guards with `#pragma once`.
A couple of include guards are not removed yet (e.g. `__RNA_TYPES_H__`),
because they are used in other places.
This patch has been generated by P1561 followed by `make format`.

The root cause was that `BKE_object_moves_in_time()` incorrectly returns
`false` when an object is moved by the physics system.
This also fixes the same issue in the USD exporter.
Setting the environment variable `PXR_PATH_DEBUG` non-empty will make the
USD library print the directories it uses to find its JSON files. This can
aid in debugging when this unit test fails. Now the failure message also
tells you about this.
No functional changes.
The function is called for all writers, not just 'object' writers.
Furthermore, it's called by the function `release_writers()`, so now the
name is consistent with that as well.
No functional changes.
This commit is a followup of {D7649}, and ports the USD tests to the new
testing approach. It moves test code from `tests/gtests/usd` into
`source/blender/io/common` and `source/blender/io/usd`, and adjusts the
use of namespaces to be consistent with the other tests.
I decided to put one test into `io/usd/tests`, instead of
`io/usd/intern`. The reason is that this test does not correspond with a
single file in that directory; instead, it tests Blender's integration
with the USD library itself.
There are two new CLI arguments for the Big Test Runner:
- `--test-assets-dir`, which points to the `lib/tests` directory in the
SVN repository. This allows unit tests to find test assets.
- `--test-release-dir`, which points to `bin/{BLENDER_VERSION}` in the
build directory. At the moment this is only used by the USD test.
The CLI arguments are automatically passed to the Big Test Runner when
using `ctest`. When manually running the tests, the arguments are only
required when there is a test run that needs them.
For more info about splitting some code into 'common', see
rB084c5d6c7e2cf8.
No functional changes to the tests themselves, only to the way they are
built & run.

The goal of the `AbstractHierarchyIterator` class (and supporting
classes) was to use it in different exporters. It shouldn't be part of
the USD module + namespace any more, now that it will also be used in
the upcoming Alembic exporter rewrite.
The source files are moved into `io/common`, which is compiled & linked
into a new library `bf_io_common`. The unittests are still inside the
`tests/gtests/usd` directory. They should be moved to a separate test
module too, but that will be delayed until after T73268 has been
resolved.

The material binding API that we used was removed in the Universal Scene
Description library version 20.02. Using this new API, the code is
compatible with both USD 19.11 and 20.02.
The file subversion is no longer used in the Python API or user interface,
and is now internal to Blender.
User interface, Python API and file I/O metadata now use more consistent
formatting for version numbers. Official releases use "2.83.0", "2.83.1",
and releases under development use "2.90.0 Alpha", "2.90.0 Beta".
Some Python add-ons may need to lower the Blender version in bl_info to
(2, 83, 0) or (2, 90, 0) if they used a subversion number higher than 0.
