Works for both Cycles and multires bake. Triangles are baked to multiple
UDIM images if they span across them, though such UV layouts are generally
discouraged as there is no filtering across UDIM tiles.
The bake margin currently only works within UDIM tiles. For the extend method
this is logical, for the adjacent faces method it may be useful to support
copying pixels from other UDIM tiles, though this seems somewhat complicated.

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.
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.

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.

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.

The default one is now UVs are smoothed, boundaries are kept sharp.
After some time of experimentation seems this is better default from
interoperability point of view.
This fixes distortion reported in T83470.
