When a fluid is put under influence of gravity or acceleration, it
forms an internal pressure gradient, which causes observable effects
like buoyancy. Since now cloth has support for simulating pressure
changes caused by fluid compression or expansion, it makes sense to
also support the effects of gravity.
This is intended for better simulation of objects filled or
surrounded by fluids, especially when constrained by collisions
or pinned vertices, and should result in more realistic shapes.
Obviously, this doesn't actually simulate fluid dynamics; instead
it is assumed that the fluid immediately adapts to changes in the
shape or acceleration of the object without friction or turbulence,
and instantly reaches a new static equilibrium.

The current particle state is stored in a `CustomData` instance and
the cache is stored in `PointCache`.
The current state exists on the copy-on-write copies of the simulation,
while the cache only exists in the original data block.
This patch implements a temporary trivial particle simulation that does not
use the node system yet. It is used for testing and will be replaced soon.
`PointCache` still has some limitations that need to be overcome using
separate refactorings. For example, we need to be able to store the number
of particles in the point cache. Also we need to change which attributes
are stored for a particle system more dynamically than is currently possible afaik.

This is a critical fix that should also be backported to 2.83.1
Fairly stupid bug in fact, code detecting changes across undo steps was
assuming that each BHEAD (a block of data in blendfiles) would not be larger
than one memory chunk... Which is the case in alsmost every situation,
besides some super-heavy geometries, and other similar things (images
would also be affected e.g.).
This patch implements the list panel system D7490 for modifiers.
It also moves modifier drawing to a callback in ModifierTypeInfo
in line with the extensible architecture refactoring goal T75724.
This adds a PanelRegister callback and utilities for registering
panels and subpanels. It also adds the callbacks for expansion saving
and drag and drop reordering described in D7490.
These utilities, callbacks, and other common UI elements shared
between modifiers live in MOD_ui_common.c.
Because modifier buttons are now in panels, we can make use of
subpanels for organization. The UI layouts also use the single
column layout style consistently used elsewhere in Blender.
Additionally, the mode-setting buttons are aligned and ordered
consistently with the outliner.
However, the large number of UI changes in this patch may mean
that additional polishing is required in master.
Thanks to William Reynish (@billreynish) who did a fair amount of the
layout work and to Julian Eisel (@Severin) for consistent help.
