Since fields were committed to master, socket inspection did
not work correctly for all socket types anymore. Now the same
functionality as before is back. Furthermore, fields that depend
on some input will now show the inputs in the socket inspection.
I added support for evaluating constant fields more immediately.
This has the benefit that the same constant field is not evaluated
more than once. It also helps with making the field independent
of the multi-functions that it uses. We might still want to change
the ownership handling for the multi-functions of nodes a bit,
but that can be done separately.

Now an instruction knows the cursors where it is inserted instead
of just the instruction that references it. This has two benefits:
* An instruction knows when it is the entry instruction.
* The cursor can contain more information, e.g. if it is linked to the
true or false branch of a branch instruction.
This also simplifies updating the procedure in future optimization
passes.
Mostly renaming the variables to improve line wrapping.
But also the "foreach_attribute" loops look simpler now.
Also use `Spline::copy_base_settings` and don't bother
with an extra call to reallocate the attribute arrays.
Just like the curve to points node, this mode outputs point locations
based on the input curve's evaluated points (the points you see in the
viewport). This is expected to be faster, since it doesn't have to
sample equal positions on the result, and it's also consistent with
the existing choices in the curve to points node.
Improvements to Quad View options' titles and descriptions.

Recently we have decided to avoid fancier versioning for nodes with
string inputs for attribute names when updating the attribute workflow
for 3.0. In that case we would just duplicate any node that will
have an updated version to work with fields.
We want to be able to use the "proper" ID names for the new versions
of the nodes though, so this patch adds "Legacy" to the IDs of all
nodes that will be replaced in 3.0. This commit also removes the nodes
from the add menu when the fields experimental preference is enabled,
in order to make it clear what has been updated and what hasn't.
Nodes in the "Maybe" categories in versioning_300.c can be renamed
later if necessary. For now it's probably better to be conservative,
and to keep the list complete.

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.

For some reason the asset preview isn't created or loaded correctly in
some instances. This could be addressed with D9974, but hard to tell
since I only have a failing .blend file, no steps to recreate it from

Would crash when opening an Asset Browser, selecting an object asset
(that has an invalid preview stored) and opening the Asset Browser
sidebar, so that the preview is visible there.
This enabled multithreaded building of the keys that needs to be drawn

On an AMD Ryzen 3800 using a mocap data test file (available in patch)
the performance went from 2fps to 8fps. The performance increase depends
on the number of rows of keyframes that is shown in for example the
timeline editor.
Each row will be using a different thread. Currently the bottleneck is
the summary channel that we could split up in the future even more (
although that is a complex refactoring work).

This patch adds new Perlin noise functions to BLI. The noises are compatible
with the shading texture noises in EEVEE, SVM, and OSL.
The existing Jenkins hash functions couldn't be used because they are not
compatible with the shading implementations and an attempt at adjusting the
implementation will break compatibility in various areas of Blender. So the
simplest approach is to reimplement the relevant hashing functions inside the
noise module itself.
Additionally, this patch also adds a minimal float4 structure to use in the
interface of the noise functions.

When adding items to the keylist it will store it in a linked list. This linked list is
accompanied with the length (key_len) and a `last_accessed_column`. last_accessed_column is a cursor
that improve the performance when adding new items as they are mostly ordered by frame numbers.
last_accessed_column is reset when a new fcurve/mask/... is added to the keylist.
Before searching or array access. the listbase needs to be converted to an array.
`ED_keylist_prepare_for_direct_access`. After that the caller can use
`ED_keylist_find_*` or `ED_keylist_array*` functions.
The internal array can also be accessed via the `ED_keylist_listbase` function.
The items inside the array link to the previous/next item in the list.

Since the DirectX backend does not work for AMD gpus
(wglDXRegisterObjectNV() fails to register the shared OpenGL-DirectX
render buffer, displaying a pink screen to the user), the original
solution was to use SteamVR's OpenGL backend, which, as tested
recently, seems to work without any issues on AMD hardware.
However, the SteamVR OpenGL backend (on Windows) was disabled in
fe492d922d6d since it resulted in crashes with NVIDIA gpus (and still
crashes, as tested recently), so SteamVR would always use the
AMD-incompatible DirectX backend (on Windows).
This patch restores use of the SteamVR OpenGL backend for non-NVIDIA
(AMD, etc.) gpus while maintaining the DirectX workaround for NVIDIA
gpus. In this way, issues are still resolved on the NVIDIA side but
AMD users can once again use the SteamVR runtime, which may be their
only viable option of using Blender in VR.

This implements the initial core framework for fields and anonymous
attributes (also see T91274).
The new functionality is hidden behind the "Geometry Nodes Fields"
feature flag. When enabled in the user preferences, the following
new nodes become available: `Position`, `Index`, `Normal`,
`Set Position` and `Attribute Capture`.
Socket inspection has not been updated to work with fields yet.
Besides these changes at the user level, this patch contains the
ground work for:
* building and evaluating fields at run-time (`FN_fields.hh`) and
* creating and accessing anonymous attributes on geometry
(`BKE_anonymous_attribute.h`).
For evaluating fields we use a new so called multi-function procedure
(`FN_multi_function_procedure.hh`). It allows composing multi-functions
in arbitrary ways and supports efficient evaluation as is required by
fields. See `FN_multi_function_procedure.hh` for more details on how
this evaluation mechanism can be used.
A new `AttributeIDRef` has been added which allows handling named
and anonymous attributes in the same way in many places.

View operations that left the cursor over a gizmo were not being updated

instead of once the animation had completed.
Mouse-move events were also missing when smooth-view was disabled.

clicks on the view aligned axis failed to switch to the opposite side
unless the user moved the cursor between clicks.
Allow blending the imported cache with the modifiers stack above the

This is particularly useful for instance when dealing with cloth
simulations performed in another software, where some parts of the cloth
are completely pinned (non-simulated, following the armature). Indeed,
this would allow modifying the animation in some areas without having to
rebake the other parts or the cloth, resulting in a much more flexible

The panning angle allows a more intuitive panning when the output is
surround sound. It sets the angle on the horizontal plane around the
listener. 0 degrees is to the front, negative values go to the left and
positive ones to the right. +/-180 degrees is directly from the back.
Technical detail: the panning value is linear with the panning angle
with a factor of 90 degrees. For stereo this means that -1 is left and
+1 right, since the speakers are exactly 90 degrees to either side.
