Add a fields-aware implementation of the attribute proximity node.
The Source position is an implicit position field, but can be
connected with a position input node with alterations before use.
The target input and mode function the same as the original node.

This commit adds nodes to do direct conversion between meshes and point
clouds in geometry nodes. The conversion from mesh to points is helpful
to instance once per face, or once per edge, which was previously only
possibly with ugly work-arounds. Fields can be evaluated on the mesh
to pass them to the points with the attribute capture node.
The other conversion, point cloud to mesh vertices, is a bit less
obvious, though it is still a common request from users. It's helpful
for flexibility when passing data around, better visualization in the
viewport (and in the future, cycles), and the simplicity of points.
This is a step towards T91754, where point clouds are currently
combined with meshes when outputing to the next modifier after geometry
nodes. Since we're removing the implicit behavior for realizing
instances, it feels natural to use an explicit node to convert points
to vertices too.

Change the toggle to switch between an attribute and a single value to
only display for inputs that are fields, as determined statically by
the field inferencing added in rB61f3d4eb7c7db7. This means the field
inferencing must be calculated on file load, since it's used in the UI.

As described in T91672, often it can be much more efficient to run each
node only on the unique geometry of the instances, rather than realizing
all instances and potentially processing redundant data. Sometimes the
performance difference can be completely smooth vs. completely unusable.
Geometry nodes used to hide that choice from users by always realizing
instances, but recently we have decided to expose it. So this commit
makes nodes run once per unique reference in the entire tree of nested
instances in their input geometries, continuing the work started in
rB0559971ab377 and rBf94164d89629f0d2. For the old behavior, a realize
instances node can be added before the nodes, which is done in the
versioning code.

This should not be allowed in general, added some initial call to check
when user is allowed to delete a data to search for mandatory override
usages...
Particle copying code was already properly sharing pointcache between
orig data and its copy only when `LIB_ID_COPY_SET_COPIED_ON_WRITE` is
set, do the same for the other point cache users.
Using `LIB_ID_CREATE_NO_MAIN` here is waaaaaaay to much wide scope for
such a dangerous/advanced behavior, that kind of things has to be
strictly restricted in scope.
Remove `AssetCatalogService::write_to_disk()` function. It has been
superseded by `write_to_disk_on_blendfile_save()`; the handful of test
functions that called the old function have been adjusted to use the
new one.
No functional changes to Blender itself.
Add `AssetCatalogService::update_catalog_path()` to change the catalog
path of the given catalog, and also change the path of all the catalogs
contained within the given catalog.
Rebuilds the tree structure for the UI, but does not save the new catalog
definitions to disk.
No user-facing changes, just backend preparation for UI work.
As also explained in D6134, in most case of Stretch To usage in
rigs, it is desirable to use swing rotation, either via the old
method of pairing the constraint with Damped Track, or via the
Swing rotation type introduced in 2.82. This is for instance true
for all usages of the constraint in Rigify.
The reason can be understood by realizing that unlike order-
dependent euler rotations, swing is not biased to an axis, and
isn't affected by gimbal lock effects at merely 90 degrees
of rotation (it has only one singularity at 180 degrees).
Thus it makes sense to change the default for newly created
constraints to the Swing mode. This has no backward compatibility
concerns except for old tutorials and rig generation scripts.

The Asset Catalog Definition File is now saved whenever the blend file
is saved. The location of the CDF depends on where the blend file is
saved, and whether previously a CDF was already loaded, according to the
following rules. The first matching rule wins:
1. Already loaded a CDF from disk? -> Always write to that file.
2. The directory containing the blend file has a
`blender_assets.cats.txt` file? -> Merge with & write to that file.
3. The directory containing the blend file is part of an asset library,
as per the user's preferences? -> Merge with & write to
`${ASSET_LIBRARY_ROOT}/blender_assets.cats.txt`
4. Create a new file `blender_assets.cats.txt` next to the blend file.
Add `BKE_preferences_asset_library_containing_path(&U, some_path)` that
finds the asset library that contains the given path.
This is a simple linear search, returning the first asset library that
matches. There is no smartness when it comes to nested asset libraries
(like returning the library with the best-matching path), although this
could be a useful feature to add later.
`BKE_object_material_slot_used` would only check obdata usages, but
particle settings can also (weirdly enough) use objects' material slots.
So now, as its name suggests, `BKE_object_material_slot_used` does take
an object as parameter, and also checks for potential slot usage from
psys in the object.
* Fixes missing update of the catalog tree when adding catalogs.
* Adds iterators for the catalogs, needed for UI code.
* Store catalog ID in the catalog tree items, needed for UI code.
* Other smaller API additions for the UI.
* Improve comments and smaller cleanups.
New functions are covered with unit tests.

Proxy conversion is a fairly particular case of liboverride creation, in
which remapping all local usages of linked data probably makes more
sense, rather than only doing so whitin the overridden 'group' of IDs.
Introduce `BKE_callback_remove()`, which undoes the effect of
`BKE_callback_add()`. It also respects `funcstore->alloc` by freeing the
removed `funcstore` when needed.
This allows for shorter-lived objects in memory to unregister their
callbacks at the end of their lifespan.
`BKE_callback_global_finalize()` has been adjusted so that the
responsibility "remove a callback" is given to one function only.

This adds a new Instance on Points node that is a replacement
for the old Point Instance node. Contrary to the old node,
it does not have a mode to instance objects or collections
directly. Instead, the node has to be used with an Object/
Collection Info to achieve the same effect.
Rotation and scale of the instances can be adjusted in the node
directly or can be controlled with a field to get some variation
between instances.
The node supports placing different instances on different points.
The user has control over which instance is placed on which point
using an Instance Index input. If that functionality is used, the
Instance Geometry has to contain multiple instances that can are
instanced separately.

This node replaces the deprecated Attribute Randomize node, populating
a vector, float, integer or boolean field with random values. Vector,
float, and integer have min/max settings, which are also field aware.
The boolean type has a probability value for controlling what portion
of the output should be true. All four types have a field seed input
which is implicitly driven by the index, otherwise, all values would
be the same "random" value.
The Random Float node is now deprecated like other nodes, since it is
redundant with this node.

This commit adds a node that generates a text paragraph as curve
instances. The inputs on the node control the overall shape of the
paragraph, and other nodes can be used to move the individual instances
afterwards. To output more than one line, the "Special Characters" node
can be used.
The node outputs instances instead of real geometry so that it doesn't
have to duplicate work for every character afterwards. This is much
more efficient, because all of the curve evaluation and nodes like fill
curve don't have to repeat the same calculation for every instance of
the same character.
In the future, the instances component will support attributes, and the
node can output attribute fields like "Word Index" and "Line Index".

This patch adds a new node called "Special Characters" with two string
outputs: "Line Break" and "Tab". This is necessary because the newline

When writing asset catalog definition files, order the catalogs by
(path, UUID). This ensures that every write produces the same file, playing
nice with versioning / synchronisation systems.
The "path with trailing slash" test catalog was using the same path as
another catalog, which meant it was ignored after doing the path
cleanup. It's now different in the test file in SVN, so it'll actually
show up in the test.
This commit also add an experimental userPreferences to prevent proxies
conversions on file load, and reporting for amount of coverted proxies
(and possible issues).
Note that potentially linked proxies from other libraries are not
hamdled here (this feature seems to be broken anyway in master
currently?).
This adds a replacement for the deprecated Point Distribute node.

This implements the update logic for the vizualization of which
sockets pass data or constants directly, and which pass functions.
The socket shapes may still have to be updated. That should be
done separately, because it might be a bit more involved, because
socket shapes are currently linked to keyframe shapes. Currently
the circle and diamond shapes are used with the following meanings:
- Input Sockets:
- Circle: Required to be a single value.
- Diamond: This input supports fields.
- Output Sockets:
- Circle: This output is a single value.
- Diamond: This output may be a field.
Connecting a field to a circle input socket is an error, since a
field cannot be converted to a single value. If the socket shape
is a diamond with a dot in the middle, it means it is currently
a single value, but could be a field.
In addition to socket shapes, the intention is to draw node links
differently based on the field status. However, the exact method for
conveying that isn't decided yet.

This patch simplifies the curve object to mesh conversion
used by the object convert operator and exporters.
The existing code had a convoluted model of ownership, and did quite
a bit of unnecessary work. It also assumed that curve objects always
evaluated to a mesh, which is not the case anymore.
Now the code checks if the object it receives is evaluated. If so,
it can simply return a copy of the evaluated mesh (or convert the
evaluated curve wire edges to a mesh if there was no evaluated mesh).
If the object isn't evaluated, it uses a temporary copy of the object
with modifiers removed to create the mesh in the same way.
This follows up on the recent changes to curve evaluation,
namely that the result is always either a mesh or a wire curve.

Put the `bUUID` class in the `blender` namespace, instead of the
`blender::bke` namespace.
As a result, some C++ code now correctly uses the C++ class, where
previously it would use the C struct and use implicit casting where
necessary. As a result, support for initializer lists had to be
explicitly coded and in another place an explicit `::bUUID` was
necessary to avoid ambiguity.
Declare the current format used for asset catalog definition files as
version 1, and write that to the files. Files without that version number
will be rejected.
This makes it much easier to move to different versions later, with the
opportunity to do versioning on file load.
The version is not associated with any version of Blender, but a separate
integer that's simply incremented when a non-backward-compatible change
happens.
