Previously the only way to control the subtype was to remove the group
input or output and create it again. This commit adds a dropdown to
change an existing socket, for supported socket types.

It was necessary to fix the UI code slightly; the layout's context
wasn't being used in calls to an operator's enum items callback.

The potential optimization in the normal edit modifier when flipping
faces isn't worth the "API impurity" and complexity introduced by
adding poly normal editing as part of the API. This change simplifies
future changes to the ownership of poly normals with a shared cache,
which can prevent recomputing poly normals completely.
Vertex positions and faces aren't changed, so most caches shouldn't
need to be tagged. This removes unnecessary re-computation of bounds,
triangulation, loose edges, etc.

Allows NLA strips to horizontally translated over each other. If a strip is dropped when translating, it'll cause the strip to shuffle into place.

Abstracted large conditional branch in `recalcData_nla` into it's own `nlastrip_fix_overlapping` method for increased readability. No logical changes were made.

Use raw Blender structs and mesh data rather than using the RNA API.
There isn't any benefit from using the RNA when Cycles is compiled
with Blender anyway, and a profile showed that the majority of time
was spent in Blender RNA API functions.
This gives a significant improvement in performance when ingesting
meshes. Here are some tests of the runtime of the `create_mesh`
function (in seconds):
| | Before | After |
| ------------------------- | ------ | ----- |
| Grid | 0.66 | 0.11 |
| Many realized cubes | 2.60 | 0.48 |
| Large curve to mesh setup | 4.18 | 1.14 |
Also change to resizing the arrays and filling them by index rather
than appending. This makes the parallel aspect of the logic clearer,
and makes the loops easier to parallelize in the future, and makes
it easier to have a performance benefit when an attribute like
`sharp_face` doesn't exist.

Use the dot product of the normal of the two polygons connected to the
edge to calculate the edge factor.
This fixes#90641 and #102545 and ensures more predictable results for
boundary and non-manifold edges.

No functional changes.
Edges hidden by Optimal Display are hidden by edge factor Shader.
But there is not much advantage in doing this, as the number of edges
hidden by the Optimal Display is usually much higher than the number of
visible edges.
And the lines extractor does not include invisible edges due to other
factors.
So this change makes:
- Visibility test more consistent with what is actually seen.
- Smaller buffer for IBO sent to GPU
- consistency with GPU Subdivision that already considers Optimal Display
- Allows possible improvement in the "Edge Factor" extraction by making
it unnecessary to check the Optimal Display (except for optimization).

Popover menu buttons had their labels translated but not their
descriptions, although they were properly extracted.
This commit fixes that using the `TIP_()` macro.
This information is displayed in the top left of the 3D Viewport with
other text info. The units of the grid are already extracted, but they
were not translated in the drawing code.
Remove comments from `eBConstraint_Types` that
- were used long ago during a big refactor effort, but are no longer
necessary, or
- just repeated the name of the enum constant.
No functional changes.
OpenEXR has some dependecies that other other modules in Blender
requires. When disabling OpenEXR these dependecies could not match
and building blender would fail.
This PR disables the next options when `WITH_IMAGE_OPENEXR=Off`
- `WITH_OPENVDB`
- `WITH_ALEMBIC`
- `WITH_VULKAN_BACKEND`
- `WITH_CYCLES_OSL`
Additionally windows stores the IMath libraries in `IMATH_LIBRARIES`
Linux and Mac stored the IMath libraries in `IMATH_LIBRARY`. This
change will also adds `IMATH_LIBRARIES` variable to all platforms.

Splitting workload dependency chains such that they
only exist within the context of a single frame.
Dependencies are required to ensure sequential
command buffer submissions execute in order,
but the additional dependencies between frames
could incur GPU timeouts, if a signal was delayed.
This could be triggered by both CPU/GPU cycles
texture updates and Viewport Compositor operations.

Reduce register spill to global memory in raytrace_resolve
function. Results in a 20% uplift for this particular shader on
Apple Silicon GPUs. Contributing to 3-5% uplift for scenes
which have SSR enabled. This is achieved via reducing
memory pressure using a packed data type for the sampling
kernel.

Very sadge to see this kind of mistakes still exist in 2023 code...
While in theory this commit could be backported to (LTS) releases, would
rather only do it if/when proven it actually fixes user-facing issues.
Fixing such issues so deep in ID management code can have completely
unexpected side effects.
The framebuffer default size was only set during the first bind. This
is because the `dirty_attachments_ tag` wasn't set and thus the
framebuffer size was never passed down to the GL.
Split to `default_size_set()` to not affect other code paths that use
`size_set()`.
Adds the ability to pack UVs back into the original bounding box.
Choose UV Editor > Menu > UV > Pack Islands
Then change "Pack To" to "Original bounding box"
Face Nearest only works with individual projection, so always set the
`SCE_SNAP_PROJECT` flag in this case.
Also gray out the `Project Individual Elements` option in the UI if
`Face Nearest` is enabled.
And change the description to indicate that `Project Individual Elements`
is always enabled with the `Face Nearest` option.
(I feel a better design for this option needs to be considered).
Avoid introducing another `::modifiers` namespace for now, since it's
not clear if we'll want that long term. This just avoids a bunch of
boilerplate and makes things easier to read.
Use the node group and the properties as arguments instead of
the modifier. This may help to allow reusing the functions outside
of the modifier execution context.
This adds the select more/less operators to the weight paint mode face selection.
Just like in edit mode, press `CTRL`+`Numpad Plus/Minus` to use them.
They have also been added to the `Select` menu.

When retrieving the evaluated mesh to paint on, it can be reevalauted,
where a smaller set of attributes are requested than for regular
evaluated meshes. That reevaluation should be completely removed
(see #106186), but a simple fix in the meantime is to manually
request that data.
When normalization is enabled in the Graph Editor,
the area outside the -1/1 range on the y axis isn't meaningful.
To visually represent that this patch greys out that area
just as it does with anything outside the current frame range.

It's a bit easier to follow this way, and we can make better use of
const. It's also more reusable in case we have to use it elsewhere
too (for node group operators?).
Use checks for certain node types with better algorithmic complexity.
They should perform better in some edge case with a lot of nodes or
node group nesting. They're now a bit more similar to each other too.
Ensure compression is enabled by using shader_read
flag only. Also ensure that MTLTexture contents
remain in optimal layout for reading after any
data modifications.

The issue was caused by uninitialized offset used for the scale
variable.
Follow the rest of the usages of the operation which initialize
it explicitly. This makes it very safe and easy fix to backport
to any LTS or corrective release.
Ideally should probably initialize all members in the class
itself, to avoid such situations in the future.

The cycling method for the viewer connection starts searching from the next socket
after the last current connection. If a geometry socket is is the last connected
output this caused the method to jump to the next socket after the geometry,
potentially skipping over valid data sockets that are not viewed yet.
The solution is to ignore the geometry sockets in the cycling entirely and only
consider data sockets (i.e. non-geometry sockets).

The insert key operator allowed to insert a keyframe on all selected FCurves
and on the Active FCurve at cursor value.
But it didn't allow to insert a keyframe only on the active FCurve.
This patch adds that. It is available in the redo panel and under Key->Insert Keyframes (which can also be called with the I hotkey)

This change aimed to solve the following issues:
- Possible threading issue of two tests writing to the same

- Test using the release directory, and potentially leaving
