This patch makes constant size a default for size edit operator of voxel remesh.
In turn, pressing CTRL now enables relative scale, the old default.
Patch also changes workspace status text entry with new additions. Note that it is a simple text and not an array of keymaps (for that further changes are needed)

Fix for T84962
Before the patch, edit voxel size always displayed voxel size without units, just as a number in meters.
Now it changes like in the voxel remesh panel and shows correct units

This is mostly a cleanup to avoid hardcoding the eager calculation of
normals it isn't necessary, by reducing calls to `BKE_mesh_calc_normals`
and by removing calls to `BKE_mesh_normals_tag_dirty` when the mesh
is newly created and already has dirty normals anyway. This reduces
boilerplate code and makes the "dirty by default" state more clear.
Any regressions from this commit should be easy to fix, though the
lazy calculation is solid enough that none are expected.
Also solves two warnings from the previous similar commit,
f688e3cc31. The change to the grease pencil
modifier is quite suspicious, but doesn't change the behavior,
which was already broken.
Using flags makes checking multiple modifiers at once more convenient
and avoids macros/functions such as IS_EVENT_MOD & WM_event_modifier_flag
which have been removed. It also simplifies checking if modifier keys
have changed.

As described in T91186, this commit moves mesh vertex normals into a
contiguous array of float vectors in a custom data layer, how face
normals are currently stored.
The main interface is documented in `BKE_mesh.h`. Vertex and face
normals are now calculated on-demand and cached, retrieved with an
"ensure" function. Since the logical state of a mesh is now "has
normals when necessary", they can be retrieved from a `const` mesh.
The goal is to use on-demand calculation for all derived data, but
leave room for eager calculation for performance purposes (modifier
evaluation is threaded, but viewport data generation is not).
**Benefits**
This moves us closer to a SoA approach rather than the current AoS
paradigm. Accessing a contiguous `float3` is much more efficient than
retrieving data from a larger struct. The memory requirements for
accessing only normals or vertex locations are smaller, and at the
cost of more memory usage for just normals, they now don't have to
be converted between float and short, which also simplifies code
In the future, the remaining items can be removed from `MVert`,
leaving only `float3`, which has similar benefits (see T93602).
Removing the combination of derived and original data makes it
conceptually simpler to only calculate normals when necessary.
This is especially important now that we have more opportunities
for temporary meshes in geometry nodes.
**Performance**
In addition to the theoretical future performance improvements by
making `MVert == float3`, I've done some basic performance testing
on this patch directly. The data is fairly rough, but it gives an idea
about where things stand generally.
- Mesh line primitive 4m Verts: 1.16x faster (36 -> 31 ms),
showing that accessing just `MVert` is now more efficient.
- Spring Splash Screen: 1.03-1.06 -> 1.06-1.11 FPS, a very slight
change that at least shows there is no regression.
- Sprite Fright Snail Smoosh: 3.30-3.40 -> 3.42-3.50 FPS, a small
but observable speedup.
- Set Position Node with Scaled Normal: 1.36x faster (53 -> 39 ms),
shows that using normals in geometry nodes is faster.
- Normal Calculation 1.6m Vert Cube: 1.19x faster (25 -> 21 ms),
shows that calculating normals is slightly faster now.
- File Size of 1.6m Vert Cube: 1.03x smaller (214.7 -> 208.4 MB),
Normals are not saved in files, which can help with large meshes.
As for memory usage, it may be slightly more in some cases, but
I didn't observe any difference in the production files I tested.
**Tests**
Some modifiers and cycles test results need to be updated with this
commit, for two reasons:
- The subdivision surface modifier is not responsible for calculating
normals anymore. In master, the modifier creates different normals
than the result of the `Mesh` normal calculation, so this is a bug
fix.
- There are small differences in the results of some modifiers that
use normals because they are not converted to and from `short`
anymore.
**Future improvements**
- Remove `ModifierTypeInfo::dependsOnNormals`. Code in each modifier
already retrieves normals if they are needed anyway.
- Copy normals as part of a better CoW system for attributes.
- Make more areas use lazy instead of eager normal calculation.
- Remove `BKE_mesh_normals_tag_dirty` in more places since that is
now the default state of a new mesh.
- Possibly apply a similar change to derived face corner normals.

The mirror modifiers merge option caused unnecessary re-ordering
to the vertex array with original vertices merging into their copies.
While this wasn't an error, it meant creating a 1:1 mapping from input
vertices to their final output wasn't reliable (when looping over
vertices first to last) as is done in
BKE_editmesh_vert_coords_when_deformed.
As merging in either direction is supported, keep the source meshes
vertices in-order since it allows the vertex coordinates to be extracted.
NOTE: Since this change introduce issues for some cases (e.g. bound
modifiers like SurfaceDeform), this change is only applied to newly
created modifiers, existing ones will still use the old incorrect merge
behavior.

Because mesh vertex and face normals are just derived data, they can
be calculated lazily instead of eagerly. Often normal calculation is
a relatively expensive task, and the calculation is often redundant
if the mesh is deformed afterwards anyway.
Instead, normals should be calculated only when they are needed. This
commit moves in that direction by adding a new function to tag a mesh's
normals dirty and replacing normal calculation with it in some places.

These functions do not change their source or input mesh, so it can
be passed with const, which means in one case that a function doesn't
have to be responsible for freeing its argument mesh, which is a clearly
better separation of concerns.
