There are two issues revealed in the bug report:
- the GPU subdivision does not support meshes with only loose geometry
- the loose geometry is not subdivided
For the first case, checks are added to ensure we still fill the
buffers with loose geometry even if no polygons are present.
For the second case, this adds
`BKE_subdiv_mesh_interpolate_position_on_edge` which encapsulates the
loose vertex interpolation mechanism previously found in
`subdiv_mesh_vertex_of_loose_edge`.
The subdivided loose geometry is stored in a new specific data structure
`DRWSubdivLooseGeom` so as to not pollute `MeshExtractLooseGeom`. These
structures store the corresponding coarse element data, which will be
used for filling GPU buffers appropriately.

A simple case of missing the tangent VBO. The tangents are computed from
the coarse mesh, and interpolated on the GPU for the final mesh. Code for
initializing the tangents, and the vertex format for the VBO was
factored out of the coarse extraction routine, to be shared with the
subdivision routine.
The check to see if newly requested attributes are not already in the
cache was not taking into account the possibility that we do not have
new requested attributes (`num_requests == 0`). In this case, if
`attr_used` already had attributes, but `attr_requested` is empty, we
would consider the cache as dirty, and needlessly rebuild the attribute
VBOs.
These features are complicated to support on GPU and hardly compatible
with subdivision in the first place. In the future, with T68891 and
T68893, subdivision and custom smooth shading will be separate workflows.
For now, and to better prepare for this future (although long term
plan), we should discourage workflows mixing subdivision and custom
smooth normals, and as such, this disables GPU subdivision when
autosmoothing or custom split normals are used.
This also adds a message in the modifier's UI to indicate that GPU
subdivision will be disabled if autosmooth or custom split normals are
used on the mesh.

Reuse the same vertex normals calculation as for the GPU code, by
weighing each vertex normals by the angle of the edges incident to the
vertex on the face.
Additionally, remove limit normals, as the CPU code does not use them
either, and would also cause different shading issues when limit surface
is used.
Fixes T95242: shade smooth artifacts with edge crease and limit surface
Fixes T94919: subdivision, different shading between CPU and GPU
This means textures need to have the number of mipmap levels specified
upfront. It does not mean the data is immutable.
There is fallback code for OpenGL < 4.2.
Immutable storage will enables texture views in the future.
This commit renames enums related the "Curve" object type and ID type
to add `_LEGACY` to the end. The idea is to make our aspirations clearer
in the code and to avoid ambiguities between `CURVE` and `CURVES`.
Ref T95355
To summarize for the record, the plans are:
- In the short/medium term, replace the `Curve` object data type with
`Curves`
- In the longer term (no immediate plans), use a proper data block for
3D text and surfaces.

The general idea here is to wrap the `CurvesGeometry` DNA struct
with a C++ class that can do most of the heavy lifting for the curve
geometry. Using a C++ class allows easier ways to group methods, easier
const correctness, and code that's more readable and faster to write.
This way, it works much more like a version of `CurveEval` that uses
more efficient attribute storage.
This commit adds the structure of some yet-to-be-implemented code,
the largest thing being mutexes and vectors meant to hold lazily
calculated evaluated positions, tangents, and normals. That part might
change slightly, but it's helpful to be able to see the direction this
commit is aiming in. In particular, the inherently single-threaded
accumulated lengths and Bezier evaluated point offsets might be cached.

Not all coarse vertices were used to compute the center value (off by
one), and the interpolation for the current would always start at the
base corner for the base face instead of the base corner for the current
patch.
The issue has two causes: on one hand origin indices were not handled
properly, on the other hand the extraction type (Mesh, BMesh, or mapped)
was not detected correctly.
For the second case reuse the MeshRenderData creation from the coarse
code path so that we make the same decisions. Loose geometry extraction
had to be updated to properly handle the BMesh cases.
For the origin indices, in some cases (for edges and faces), the arrays
used by the subdivision code already have the origin indices baked into
them, so mapping them a second time through the origin index layer is
wrong, and could cause out of bounds accesses.
For vertices especially, we would use two arrays: one for mapping
subdivision vertices to coarse vertices, and another one to map coarse
vertices to subdivision loops used for the selection index buffer. The
second one is now removed (which saves a bit of memory) as it is did not
have the proper data setup for use with the origin indices and we can
easily compute it using the first array anyway.
Due to the freeing and re-creation of textures performed when binding
offscreen viewports, VR viewport textures would be needlessly
re-created every drawing iteration, leading to a negative impact on VR
frame rate.
This was brought to light by 6738ecb64e, which introduced an
additional texture clear operation on initialization and was
prohibitively costly on some systems when performed every frame.
Now, the textures for VR viewports will not be always re-created
during offscreen binding, but only when necessary using a pre-drawing
step (`wm_xr_session_surface_offscreen_ensure()`).

The crash was happening when the mesh had loose edges.
Loose edges are not part of OpenSubdiv topology and hence should not be
communicated to the refiner. Pass ta boolean flag indicating whether an
edge is loose or not in the mesh foreach routines, which seems to be
the easiest way.
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.

- Compute ref let the size of dispatch be modified just before drawing.
- Barrier call makes it possible to chain multiple compute passes in one pass.
- DRW_shgroup_vertex_buffer_ref is the analog of DRW_shgroup_uniform_block_ref.
This commit adds infrastructure for 8 bit signed integer attributes.
This can be useful given the discussion in T94193, where we want to
store spline type, Bezier handle type, and other small enums as
attributes.
This is only exposed in the interface in the attribute lists, so it
shouldn't be an option in geometry nodes, at least for now.
I expect that this type won't be used directly very often, it
should mostly be cast to an enum type. However, with support
for 8 bit integers, it also makes sense to add things like mixing
implementations for consistency.

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.

Using opt-in instead of opt-out to make code easier to read.
Add combined flag enum.
Making restrict an inverse flag option because it is so rare to
use it.
Can also happen in other places when the overlay engine is active. Some
parts of the overlay engine uses builtin shaders, but disable the color
space conversion to the target texture.
Currently there the overlay engine has its own set of libraries it could
include and defined a macro to pass-throught the color space conversion.
The library include mechanism currently fails when it couldn't find the
builtin library in the libraries of the overlay engine. This only
happened in debug mode.
This change will not fail, but warns the developer if a library could
not be included. In the future this should be replaced by a different
mechanism that can disable the builtin library. See {T95382}.
