When in mesh editmode, attributes point to bmesh customdata, the
attribute data is empty since custom data is stored per element instead
of a single array there (same es UVs etc.).
Opposed to e.g. UVs, general attributes were not setting their data
length/size to zero in case of editmode though, which could lead to
- crash in Outliner Data Api view [that was reported in T95922]
- RuntimeError such as the following:
```
RuntimeError: bpy_prop_collection[index]: internal error, valid index 0
given in 8 sized collection, but value not found
```
Now check for mesh editmode in `BKE_id_attribute_data_length` (and
return zero in that case).
Alternatively, the check could also be done in
`rna_Attribute_data_length` only (such as UVs do in
`rna_MeshUVLoopLayer_data_length`).

The "PROP" in the name reflects its generic status, and removing
"LOOP" makes sense because it is no longer associated with just
mesh face corners. In general the goal is to remove extra semantic
meaning from the custom data types.
This patch adds color attributes to TexPaintSlot. This allows an easier selection
when painting color attributes.
Previously when selecting a paint tool the user had to start a stroke, before the
UI reflected the correct TexPaintSlot. Now when switching the slot the active
tool is checked and immediate the UI is drawn correctly.
In the future the canvas selector will also be used to select an image or image texture node
to paint on. Basic implementation has already been done inside this patch.
A limitation of this patch is that is isn't possible anymore to rename images directly from
the selection panel. This is currently allowed in master. But as CustomDataLayers
aren't ID fields and not owned by the material supporting this wouldn't be easy.

In the future we should update the create slot operator to also include color attributes.
Sources could also be extended to use other areas of the object that use image textures
(particles, geom nodes, etc... ).

color attribute system.
This commit removes sculpt colors from experimental
status and unifies it with vertex colors. It
introduces the concept of "color attributes", which
are any attributes that represents colors. Color
attributes can be represented with byte or floating-point
numbers and can be stored in either vertices or
face corners.
Color attributes share a common namespace
(so you can no longer have a floating-point
sculpt color attribute and a byte vertex color
attribute with the same name).
Note: this commit does not include vertex paint mode,
which is a separate patch, see:

Order copyright immediately after the license block,
this was done almost everywhere with a few exceptions.
Remove authors from a few files (we had already removed "Contributors"

Also move descriptive text into the doxygen comment block under \file.
In some cases remove the text as it was accidentally copied.
Based on discussions from T95355 and T94193, the plan is to use
the name "Curves" to describe the data-block container for multiple
curves. Eventually this will replace the existing "Curve" data-block.
However, it will be a while before the curve data-block can be replaced
so in order to distinguish the two curve types in the UI, "Hair Curves"
will be used, but eventually changed back to "Curves".
This patch renames "hair-related" files, functions, types, and variable
names to this convention. A deep rename is preferred to keep code
consistent and to avoid any "hair" terminology from leaking, since the
new data-block is meant for all curve types, not just hair use cases.
The downside of this naming is that the difference between "Curve"
and "Curves" has become important. That was considered during
design discussons and deemed acceptable, especially given the
non-permanent nature of the somewhat common conflict.
Some points of interest:
- All DNA compatibility is lost, just like rBf59767ff9729.
- I renamed `ID_HA` to `ID_CV` so there is no complete mismatch.
- `hair_curves` is used where necessary to distinguish from the
existing "curves" plural.
- I didn't rename any of the cycles/rendering code function names,
since that is also used by the old hair particle system.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D14007
This patch refactors the "Hair" data-block, which will soon be renamed
to "Curves". The larger change is switching from an array of `HairCurve`
to find indices in the points array to simply storing an array of offsets.
Using a single integer instead of two halves the amount of memory for that
particular array.
Besides that, there are some other changes in this patch:
- Split the data-structure to a separate `CurveGeometry`
DNA struct so it is usable for grease pencil too.
- Update naming to be more aligned with newer code and the style guide.
- Add direct access to some arrays in RNA
-- Radius is now retrieved as a regular attribute in Cycles.
-- `HairPoint` has been renamed to `CurvePoint`
-- `HairCurve` has been renamed to `CurveSlice`
- Add comments to the struct in DNA.
The next steps are renaming `Hair` -> `Curves`, and adding support
for other curve types: Bezier, Poly, and NURBS.

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.

When exiting editmode, customdata [and thus attributes] are copied from
**BMesh** to **Mesh** (in `BM_mesh_bm_to_me`).
When adding attributes, these were always added via
`CustomData_add_layer_named` only.
Instead (if we are in mesh editmode), we need to go through
`BM_data_layer_add_named` to properly update the **BMesh** (see
`update_data_blocks`) so we have stuff available to copy back to
**Mesh** when exiting editmode.
Same is done for removing (also going through BMesh).
This is now done, DomainInfo is updated to point to BMesh (instead of
Mesh) customdata when in editmode.

This patch renames two domains:
* `Polygon` -> `Face`
* `Corner` -> `Face Corner`
For the change from `polygon` to `face` I did a "deep rename" where I updated
all (most?) cases where we refere to the attribute domain in code as well.
The change from `corner` to `face corner` is only a ui change. I did not see
a real need to update all code the code for that. It does not seem to improve
the code, more on the contrary.

Notes on the Generic attribute access API
The API adds an indirection for attribute access. That has the following benefits:
* Most code does not have to care about how an attribute is stored internally.
This is mainly necessary, because we have to deal with "legacy" attributes
such as vertex weights and attributes that are embedded into other structs
such as vertex positions.
* When reading from an attribute, we generally don't care what domain the
attribute is stored on. So we want to abstract away the interpolation that
that adapts attributes from one domain to another domain (this is not
actually implemented yet).
Other possible improvements for later iterations include:
* Actually implement interpolation between domains.
* Don't use inheritance for the different attribute types. A single class for read
access and one for write access might be enough, because we know all the ways
in which attributes are stored internally. We don't want more different internal
structures in the future. On the contrary, ideally we can consolidate the different
storage formats in the future to reduce the need for this indirection.
* Remove the need for heap allocations when creating attribute accessors.
It includes commits from:
* Dalai Felinto
* Hans Goudey
* Jacques Lucke
* Léo Depoix
There is a list of attributes, along with operators to add and remove
attributes. For adding, there are a few standard attributes that can be
added quickly, as well as a popup to create a custom attribute.

Instead of custom data layer with special types, using general Vector and Float
attributes.
Ref T76659
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D8635
This puts all generic float/int/vector/color/string geometry attributes in a new
.attributes property. For meshes it provides a more general API for existing
attributes, for point clouds attributes will be used as an essential part of
particle nodes.
This patch was implemented by @lichtwerk, with further changes by me. It's
still a work in progress, but posting here to show what is going on and for
