This replaces the Sheen model used in the Principled BSDF with the
model from #108869 that is already used in the Sheen BSDF now.
The three notable differences are:
- At full intensity (Sheen = 1.0), the new model is significantly
stronger than the old one. For existing files, the intensity is
adjusted to keep the overall look similar.
- The Sheen Tint input is now a color input, instead of the
previous blend factor between white and the base color.
- There is now a Sheen roughness control, which can be used to
tweak the look between velvet-like and dust-like.

Implements the rest of #101689, after 5e9ea9243b.
- `vdata` -> `vert_data`
- `edata` -> `edge_data`
- `pdata` -> `face_data`
- `ldata` -> `loop_data`
A deeper rename of `loop` to `corner` will be proposed as a next
step, and renaming `totvert` and `totedge` can be done separately.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/110432
Implements part of #101689.
The "poly" name was chosen to distinguish the `MLoop` + `MPoly`
combination from the `MFace` struct it replaced. Those two structures
persisted together for a long time, but nowadays `MPoly` is gone, and
`MFace` is only used in some legacy code like the particle system.
To avoid unnecessarily using a different term, increase consistency
with the UI and with BMesh, and generally make code a bit easier to
read, this commit replaces the `poly` term with `poly`. Most variables
that use the term are renamed too. `Mesh.totface` and `Mesh.fdata` now
have a `_legacy` suffix to reduce confusion. In a next step, `pdata`
can be renamed to `face_data` as well.

The old Sculpt initialization code did double duty
as versioning code. This commit implements proper
versioning logic in versioning_400.cc; the existence
of the default fields are checked in DNA and if they
don't exist they're initialized. This is similar to
how the old code checked if the fields were zero.

Move the node previews to the overlay region, atop each node.
It allows nodes to keep the same size when the preview is toggled,
which is more convenient for large nodes and large nodetrees.
The preview has to be drawn from `node_draw_extra_info_panel`
because there could be overlapping between info text and the preview.
When the node is out of the view, it also has to make sure that the
preview is also out of the view before exiting the draw function.

This formats code that is disabled using `#if 0`. Formatting was achieved
by temporarily changing `#if 0` to `#if 1 /*something*/`, then formatting,
and then changing it back to `#if 0`.
This adds support for running a set of nodes repeatedly. The number
of iterations can be controlled dynamically as an input of the repeat
zone. The repeat zone can be added in via the search or from the
Add > Utilities menu.
The main use case is to replace long repetitive node chains with a more
flexible alternative. Technically, repeat zones can also be used for
many other use cases. However, due to their serial nature, performance
is very sub-optimal when they are used to solve problems that could
be processed in parallel. Better solutions for such use cases will
be worked on separately.
Repeat zones are similar to simulation zones. The major difference is
that they have no concept of time and are always evaluated entirely in
the current frame, while in simulations only a single iteration is
evaluated per frame.
Stopping the repetition early using a dynamic condition is not yet
supported. "Break" functionality can be implemented manually using
Switch nodes in the loop for now. It's likely that this functionality
will be built into the repeat zone in the future.
For now, things are kept more simple.
Remaining Todos after this first version:
* Improve socket inspection and viewer node support. Currently, only
the first iteration is taken into account for socket inspection
and the viewer.
* Make loop evaluation more lazy. Currently, the evaluation is eager,
meaning that it evaluates some nodes even though their output may not
be required.

This data-block was originally added in eb4e3bbe68.
However, that original plan wasn't fully implemented, with simulations
now integrated with geometry nodes and modifiers instead of a separate
data-block. We kept the data-block around anyway since we have the
loose plan of using a similar data-block to make global simulations
connected between multiple objects. But it may be a while before we
implement that, and in the meantime having this just causes confusion.
Selecting a rigid body world collection is supposed to set up rigid
bodies for all of its mesh members (if they are not rigid bodies
already), expected result would be just the same as if `Object` > `Rigid
Body` > `Add ...` was used.
Doing it via just the world collection had the following issues though:
- calculating mass would crash on such a freshly created rigid body
objects (be1b32e4e4 falsely assumed `ob->rigidbody_object` is always
present on evaluated objects -- without tagging for depsgraph updates
this is not the case though)
- rigid body simulation would not work even on these freshly created
rigid body objects
Now tag bmain relations and object transforms for update to make both of
these work (following code in `BKE_rigidbody_add_object` that is used
when adding these through `Object` > `Rigid Body` > `Add ...`)

Clay strips was using it's own brush local matrix,
which wasn't quite compatible with texture matrices.
This could lead to brush textures not lining up with
the stroke dabs.
There was also a bug where the stroke was starting
20 pixels into the stroke, which is much higher than
necassary to derive the initial rake angle.
Notes:
* The clay strips brush now uses SCULPT_cube_tip_init
to calculate the local brush matrix.
* SCULPT_cube_tip_init now accepts custom brush location
and radius arguments.
* The mouse sample preroll used to calculate initial brush
rotation angle is now smaller than the update interval.
* Clay strips now supports tip_scale_x, which has also
been added to DNA defaults.
The spotlight is now treated as a sphere instead of a view-aligned disk.
The implementation remains almost identical to that of a point light,
except for the spotlight attenuation and spot blend. There is no
attenuation inside the sphere. Ref #108505
Other changes include:
## Sampling
Instead of sampling the disk area, the new implementation samples either
the cone of the visible portion on the sphere or the spread cone, based
on which cone has a smaller solid angle. This reduces noise when the
spotlight has a large radius and a small spread angle.

## Texture
Spot light can now project texture using UV coordinates.

## Normalization
Previously, the normalization factor for the spotlight was \(\pi r^2\),
the area of a disk. This factor has been adjusted to \(4\pi r^2\) to
account for the surface area of a sphere. This change also affects point
light since they share the same kernel type.
## Versioning
Some pipeline uses the `Normal` socket of the Texture Coordinate node for
projection, because `ls->Ng` was set to the incoming direction at the
current shading point. Now that `ls->Ng` corresponds to the normal
direction of a point on the sphere (except when the radius is zero),
we replace these nodes with a combination of the Geometry shader node
and the Vector Transform node, which gives the same result as before.

All probes (including the world background probe) are stored in a single texture. Each probe
can be of any resolution as long as it is a power of 2 and not larger than 2048. So valid options
are (2048x2048, 1024x1024, 512x512, etc).
Each probe can be stored in their own resolution and can be set by the user.
> NOTE: Eventually we would like to add automatic resolution selection.
The probes are packed in an 2d texture array with the dimension of 2048*2048. The number of
layers depends on the actual needed layers. If more layers are needed the texture will be recreated.
This can happen when a new reflection probe is added, or an existing reflection probe is made visible
to the scene or its resolution is changed.
### Octahedral mapping
Probes are rendered into a cubemap. To reduce memory needs and improve sampling performance the cubemap
is stored in octahedral mapping space. This is done in `eevee_reflection_probe_remap_comp.glsl`.
The regular octahedral mapping has been extended to fix leakages at the edges of the texture
and to be able to be used on an atlas texture and by sampling the texture once.
To reduce sampling cost and improve the quality we add an border around the
octahedral map and extend the octahedral coordinates. This also allows us to
generate lower resolution mipmaps of the atlas texture using 2x2 box filtering
from a higher resolution.
### Subdivisions and areas
Probes data are stored besides the texture. The data is used to find out where the probe is stored
in the texture. It is also used to find free space to store new probes.
This approach ensures that we can be flexible at storing probes with different
resolutions on the same layer. Lets see an example how that works
Code-wise this is implemented by `ProbeLocationFinder`. ProbeLocationFinder can view a texture in a
given subdivision level and mark areas that are covered by probes. When finding a free spot it returns
the first empty area.
**Notes**
* Currently the cubemap is rendered with a fixed resolution and mipmaps are generated in order to
increase the quality of the atlas. Eventually we should use dynamic resolution and no mipmaps.
This will be done as part of the light probe baking change.

It was only used by OpenEXR and Iris images, and saving the Z Buffer
in those formats was disabled by default. This option comes from the
times prior to the addition of the Multilayer EXR.
It also worth noting that it was not possible to save Iris with Depth
pass from Blender as internally it is called IRIZ format and it was
not exposed. But even after exposing this format option something still
was missing as saving and loading ITIZ did not show up the Depth pass.
The reason of removal is to make it a more clear match of the ImBuf
with a render pass, and use it instead of a custom type in the render
result and render pass API. This will simplify the API and also avoid
stealing buffers and making shallow copies when showing the render
result.
For the cases when Depth is needed a Multilayer EXR is to be used,
as most likely more than just the Depth will be needed.
On a user level this change:
- Removes the "Z Buffer" option from the interface.
- It preserves existing sockets in compositor nodes, but it will
output black image. Also changing the image data-block will
remove the socket unless a Multilayer EXR with Depth pass image
is selected.
- Removes "Depth" socket of the Viewer and Composite nodes.

String search & replace is a higher level function (unlike BLI_string.h)
which handlers lower level replacements for printing and string copying.
Also use BLI_string_* prefix (matching other utilities).
This makes it possible to use BLI_string in Blender's internal utilities
without depending on DynStr, MemArena... etc.
`Project Individual Elements` was never supported for `Vert Slide` and
`Edge Slide`, however, albeit erroneously, this option still affected
those operations.
In Blender 3.6 this situation of `Project Individual Elements`
affecting the result, has been "fixed". But users still preferred the
old behavior.
Therefore, instead of falling back to `Snap To Face`, support
`Project Individual Elements` for `Vert Slide` and `Edge Slide`.
This is more like how it worked previously.
