This change makes it so build system and update utilities for Blender builds
are using pre-compiled libraries and other resources attached as Git modules
instead of using checkout of SVN repositories in the parent folder.
The directory layout:
```
* release/datafiles/
* assets/ -> blender-assets.git
* publish/
* ...
* README.txt
* lib/
* darwin_x64/ -> lib-darwin_x64.git
* darwin_arm64/ -> lib-darwin_arm64.git
* linux_x64/ -> lib-linux_x64.git
* windows_x64/ -> lib-windows_x64.git
* tests/
* data/ -> blender-test-data.git
```
The changes about configuring the actual Git sub-modules are not included
into this patch, as those require repository to actually exist before it
can be used.
The assets submodule is enabled by default, and the rest of them are
disabled. This means that if someone runs `git submodule update --init`
they will not get heavy libraries. The platform-specific and tests
related submodules are enabled when using `make update` or `make test`.
All the submodules are tracked: this means that when new commits are
done to the submodule, the blender.git repository is to be updated to
point them to the new hash. This causes some extra manual work, but it
allows to more easily update Blender and its dependencies to known good
state when performing operations like bisect.

The issue here is that the `parent` pointer of indirectly linked
libraries would not be propoerly cleared when their current parent was
deleted.
Note that this fix will leave effectively indirectly linked libraries
shown as directly used ones in the UI, until the blendfile is saved and
reloaded. This is not a new issue though, deleting a parent library in
the Outliner has the same effect.
This addresses issue #93052.
Now converting the USD "varying" interpolation type to
the "point" domain type when importing USD attributes.
There have been some inconsistent opinions in the USD
developer community about whether "varying" interpolation
is equivalent to "corner" or "point" domains for meshes.
However, DCCs such as Unity and Houdini assume that the
number of entries for attributes with "varying" interpolation
is the same as the number of points, and this change allows
Blender to import such assets without error.

When using a square color picker you can drag it very wide in an RGB
node. Once over a threshold the round cursor in the color canvas will
turn into a vertical bar. Caused by (dumb) proportion test. Replaced
with a proper check for gradient type.

When switching to an object with invalid channels,
the red underline would only appear on the second redraw.
Same when switching the other way around, then they would
stay until the next redraw.
The issue is that the logic to check if that line should be drawn
is checking the flag of the `bAnimListElem` which gets it from
the FCurve. But the FCurve is only checked later down the line
when getting the name.
Fix it by checking the flag on the FCurve directly.

When the retopology overlay is enabled, the edit mesh is not drawn
in solid mode. When you disabled overlays however, it would not be
drawn in any mode, which understandably confused users.
Now it checks whether overlays are enabled before it hides the solid mesh.

Although it is nice to skip embossing for middle buttons in aligned
rows, this only applies to vertically-aligned buttons. Horizontal ones
need to keep their embossing, if enabled.

Multiple threads may try to load the "All" asset library catalogs, so
avoid working on the same catalog service in parallel.
Found when testing #118463 on top of #118382, by creating a sculpt brush
asset while the asset shelf is open. The 3D View header would trigger
reloading of the "All" asset library catalogs to display node assets in
header pulldowns, while the asset shelf triggered a threaded reload of
the asset library.
Problem here is that when selecting/activating an object in a different
scene in the Outliner, the Outliner will automatically switch scenes via
`WM_window_set_active_scene` however the `view_layer` was untouched and
as a consequence `BKE_view_layer_synced_ensure` gets the right scene but
the "wrong" viewlayer [which makes it not do its thing properly]
To solve, now use the new active viewlayer after having switched scenes.
NOTE this also solves a couple of other asserts elsewhere (when not
deleting, just selecting/activating could assert on
`DEG_is_evaluated_object(ob)`)

Fairly straightforward.
Note that only the Noise modifier is handled in this commit, for demonstration/testing purposes.
The other modifiers remain TODO and will be handled in later commits.

This changes the drawing of the zone nodes to align corresponding input
and output sockets. The resulting nodes are smaller and it's easier to see
how data is passed through them.
Drawing aligned sockets is already technically supported for quite a while
already, but we haven't used it so far. Using them for zone nodes seems to
provide benefits only. How we use aligned sockets in other nodes still has
to be discussed more.
This patch only changes run-time data. It doesn't affect what is written to
.blend files.
In the node declaration, aligned sockets are created by tagging a socket
so that it is aligned with the previous socket. This is a bit different from
what we had before where a single socket declaration would be used for
an input and output socket. I think the approach used here works better,
especially in a potential future scenario where the input and output socket
has a different type.

The check for owner ID here was preventing the online manual access to work for user preference properties.
This is also true for Python API Documentation access.
Panorama dicing test fails for EEVEE on legacy platforms. EEVEE creates a shader interface
that isn't compatible with the vulkan backend. This PR hides the check.
Check should be enabled again after EEVEE has been replaced by EEVEE-Next.
This PR also changes the behavior when checks are executed. It used to be
executed when blender was build with asserts. Now it is behind the --debug-gpu flag.

The difficulty of implementing this iterator is that it requires lots of operator
overloads which are usually very simple to implement, but result in a lot of code.
The goal of this patch is to abstract the common parts so that it becomes easier
to implement random accessor iterators. Many algorithms can work more
efficiently with random access iterators than with other iterator types.

New name: Extensions
Now that we are gettting closer to a launch I need to refer to this
feature in the documentation. As such it was time to bring it up to
date.
I'm also pointing the experimental feature to the task where the Alpha
launch is being coordinated (#117286). Once that task is all ticked we
will likely be ready to go out of experimental.
The name `use_occlusion_test` was misleading and led to errors.
If this variable is false, objects will be considered to always be
occluders.
Not a serious problem, since the flag is not being used.
