The hash tables and vector blenlib headers were pulling many more
headers than they actually need, including the C base math header,
our C string API header, and the StringRef header. All of this
potentially slows down compilation and polutes autocomplete
with unrelated information.
Also remove the `ListBase` constructor for `Vector`. It wasn't used
much, and making it easy to use `ListBase` isn't worth it for the
same reasons mentioned above.
It turns out a lot of files depended on indirect includes of
`BLI_string.h` and `BLI_listbase.h`, so those are fixed here.

Part 3/3 of #109135, #110272
Switch to new node group interfaces and deprecate old DNA and API.
This completes support for panels in node drawing and in node group
interface declarations in particular.
The new node group interface DNA and RNA code has been added in parts
1 and 2 (#110885, #110952) but has not be enabled yet. This commit
completes the integration by
* enabling the new RNA API
* using the new API in UI
* read/write new interfaces from blend files
* add versioning for backward compatibility
* add forward-compatible writing code to reconstruct old interfaces
All places accessing node group interface declarations should now be
using the new API. A runtime cache has been added that allows simple
linear access to socket inputs and outputs even when a panel hierarchy
is used.
Old DNA has been deprecated and should only be accessed for versioning
(inputs/outputs renamed to inputs_legacy/outputs_legacy to catch
errors). Versioning code ensures both backward and forward
compatibility of existing files.
The API for old interfaces is removed. The new API is very similar but
is defined on the `ntree.interface` instead of the `ntree` directly.
Breaking change notifications and detailed instructions for migrating
will be added.
A python test has been added for the node group API functions. This
includes new functionality such as creating panels and moving items
between different levels.
This patch does not yet contain panel representations in the modifier
UI. This has been tested in a separate branch and will be added with a
later PR (#108565).

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784

Move `GeometrySet` and `GeometryComponent` and subclasses
to the `blender::bke` namespace. This wasn't done earlier since
these were one of the first C++ classes used throughout Blender,
but now it is common.
Also remove the now-unnecessary C-header, since all users of
the geometry set header are now in C++.

Add a quaternion rotation socket type, and using the recently added
rotation attribute type, support the type in most of the multi-type
geometry nodes, and modifier attribute inputs and outputs.
The socket is still exposed with an XYZ Euler default value.
In the future we can add modes to this rotation value similar
to object rotations.
Rotation values have no implicit conversions to other types.
Nodes to convert to and from rotation values will be added
in a follow-up commit.
For now, the new socket type is hidden behind and experimental
option, because we haven't chosen the final color for it yet.

A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:

Changes:
1. Added `BKE_node.hh` file. New file includes old one.
2. Functions moved to new file. Redundant `(void)`, `struct` are removed.
3. All cpp includes replaced from `.h` on `.hh`.
4. Everything in `BKE_node.hh` is on `blender::bke` namespace.
5. All implementation functions moved in namespace.
6. Function names (`BKE_node_*`) changed to `blender::bke::node_*`.
7. `eNodeSizePreset` now is a class, with renamed items.

The goal is to solve confusion of the "All rights reserved" for licensing
code under an open-source license.
The phrase "All rights reserved" comes from a historical convention that
required this phrase for the copyright protection to apply. This convention
is no longer relevant.
However, even though the phrase has no meaning in establishing the copyright
it has not lost meaning in terms of licensing.
This change makes it so code under the Blender Foundation copyright does
not use "all rights reserved". This is also how the GPL license itself
states how to apply it to the source code:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software ...
This change does not change copyright notice in cases when the copyright
is dual (BF and an author), or just an author of the code. It also does
mot change copyright which is inherited from NaN Holding BV as it needs
some further investigation about what is the proper way to handle it.
Versioning code in `do_versions_after_linking_260` inserted new group input
and output nodes. And (reasonably?) expected sockets to exist on those nodes.
However, `nodeAddStaticNode` did not initialize sockets on nodes with that use
`declare_dynamic` yet. This patch changes it so that `declare_dynamic` is used
in more places, which caused issues during file loading when node groups are
updated in somewhat arbitrary order (not in an order that is based on which
groups use which).
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D17183
Since a year and a half ago we've been switching to a new way to
represent what sockets a node should have called "declarations"
that's easier to use, clearer, and more flexible for upcoming
features like dynamic socket counts or generic type sockets.
All builtin nodes with a static set of sockets have switched, but one
missing area has been group nodes and group input/output nodes. These
nodes have **dynamic** declarations which change based on their
properties or the group they're inside of. This patch addresses that,
in preparation for using the same dynamic declaration feature for
simulation nodes.
Generally there shouldn't be user-visible differences, but one benefit
is that user-created socket descriptions are now visible directly in
the node editor for group nodes and group input/output nodes.
The commit contains a few changes:
- Add a node type callback for building dynamic declarations with
different arguments
- Add an `Extend` socket declaration for the "virtual" sockets used
for connecting new links
- A similar `Custom` socket declaration is used for addon-defined socket
- Simplify the node update loop to use the declaration to build update
sockets
- Replace the "group update" functions with the declaration building
- Move the node group input/output link creation to link drag operator
- Make the field status part of group node declarations
(not for group input/output nodes though)
- Some fixes for declarations to make them update and build properly
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D16850
Since internal links are only runtime data, we have the flexibility to
allocating every link individually. Instead we can store links directly
in the node runtime vector. This allows avoiding many small allocations
when copying and changing node trees.
In the future we could use a smaller type like a pair of sockets
instead of `bNodeLink` to save memory.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D16960
When these declarations are built without the help of the special
builder class, it's much more convenient to set them directly rather
than with a constructor, etc. In most other situations the declarations
should be const anyway, so theoretically this doesn't affect safety too
much. Most construction of declarations should still use the builder.
Separate the "insert nodes into group" operation into more distinct
phases. This helps to clarify what is actually happening, to avoid
redundant updates to group nodes every time a new socket is discovered,
and to make use of the topology cache to avoid the "accidentally
quadratic" alrogithms that we have slowly been removing from node
editing.
The change is motivated by the desire to use dynamic node declarations
for group nodes and group input/output nodes, where it is helpful to
avoid updating the declaration and sockets multiple times.
* Support bidirectional type lookups. E.g. finding the base type of a
field was supported, but not the other way around. This also removes
the todo in `get_vector_type`. To achieve this, types have to be
registered up-front.
* Separate `CPPType` from other "type traits". For example, previously
`ValueOrFieldCPPType` adds additional behavior on top of `CPPType`.
Previously, it was a subclass, now it just contains a reference to the
`CPPType` it corresponds to. This follows the composition-over-inheritance
idea. This makes it easier to have self-contained "type traits" without
having to put everything into `CPPType`.

This patch implements the vector types (i.e:`float2`) by making heavy
usage of templating. All vector functions are now outside of the vector
classes (inside the `blender::math` namespace) and are not vector size
dependent for the most part.
In the ongoing effort to make shaders less GL centric, we are aiming
to share more code between GLSL and C++ to avoid code duplication.
####Motivations:
- We are aiming to share UBO and SSBO structures between GLSL and C++.
This means we will use many of the existing vector types and others
we currently don't have (uintX, intX). All these variations were
asking for many more code duplication.
- Deduplicate existing code which is duplicated for each vector size.
- We also want to share small functions. Which means that vector
functions should be static and not in the class namespace.
- Reduce friction to use these types in new projects due to their
incompleteness.
- The current state of the `BLI_(float|double|mpq)(2|3|4).hh` is a
bit of a let down. Most clases are incomplete, out of sync with each
others with different codestyles, and some functions that should be
static are not (i.e: `float3::reflect()`).
####Upsides:
- Still support `.x, .y, .z, .w` for readability.
- Compact, readable and easilly extendable.
- All of the vector functions are available for all the vectors types
and can be restricted to certain types. Also template specialization
let us define exception for special class (like mpq).
- With optimization ON, the compiler unroll the loops and performance
is the same.
####Downsides:
- Might impact debugability. Though I would arge that the bugs are
rarelly caused by the vector class itself (since the operations are
quite trivial) but by the type conversions.
- Might impact compile time. I did not saw a significant impact since
the usage is not really widespread.
- Functions needs to be rewritten to support arbitrary vector length.
For instance, one can't call `len_squared_v3v3` in
`math::length_squared()` and call it a day.
- Type cast does not work with the template version of the `math::`
vector functions. Meaning you need to manually cast `float *` and
`(float *)[3]` to `float3` for the function calls.
i.e: `math::distance_squared(float3(nearest.co), positions[i]);`
- Some parts might loose in readability:
`float3::dot(v1.normalized(), v2.normalized())`
becoming
`math::dot(math::normalize(v1), math::normalize(v2))`
But I propose, when appropriate, to use
`using namespace blender::math;` on function local or file scope to
increase readability.
`dot(normalize(v1), normalize(v2))`
####Consideration:
- Include back `.length()` method. It is quite handy and is more C++
oriented.
- I considered the GLM library as a candidate for replacement. It felt
like too much for what we need and would be difficult to extend / modify
to our needs.
- I used Macros to reduce code in operators declaration and potential
copy paste bugs. This could reduce debugability and could be reverted.
- This touches `delaunay_2d.cc` and the intersection code. I would like
to know @howardt opinion on the matter.
- The `noexcept` on the copy constructor of `mpq(2|3)` is being removed.
But according to @JacquesLucke it is not a real problem for now.
I would like to give a huge thanks to @JacquesLucke who helped during this

Goals of this refactor:
* More unified approach to updating everything that needs to be updated
after a change in a node tree.
* The updates should happen in the correct order and quadratic or worse
algorithms should be avoided.
* Improve detection of changes to the output to avoid tagging the depsgraph
when it's not necessary.
* Move towards a more declarative style of defining nodes by having a
more centralized update procedure.
The refactor consists of two main parts:
* Node tree tagging and update refactor.
* Generally, when changes are done to a node tree, it is tagged dirty
until a global update function is called that updates everything in
the correct order.
* The tagging is more fine-grained compared to before, to allow for more
precise depsgraph update tagging.
* Depsgraph changes.
* The shading specific depsgraph node for node trees as been removed.
* Instead, there is a new `NTREE_OUTPUT` depsgrap node, which is only
tagged when the output of the node tree changed (e.g. the Group Output
or Material Output node).
* The copy-on-write relation from node trees to the data block they are
embedded in is now non-flushing. This avoids e.g. triggering a material
update after the shader node tree changed in unrelated ways. Instead
the material has a flushing relation to the new `NTREE_OUTPUT` node now.
* The depsgraph no longer reports data block changes through to cycles
through `Depsgraph.updates` when only the node tree changed in ways
that do not affect the output.
Avoiding unnecessary updates seems to work well for geometry nodes and cycles.
The situation is a bit worse when there are drivers on the node tree, but that
could potentially be improved separately in the future.
Avoiding updates in eevee and the compositor is more tricky, but also less urgent.
* Eevee updates are triggered by calling `DRW_notify_view_update` in
`ED_render_view3d_update` indirectly from `DEG_editors_update`.
* Compositor updates are triggered by `ED_node_composite_job` in `node_area_refresh`.
This is triggered by calling `ED_area_tag_refresh` in `node_area_listener`.
Removing updates always has the risk of breaking some dependency that no
one was aware of. It's not unlikely that this will happen here as well. Adding
back missing updates should be quite a bit easier than getting rid of
unnecessary updates though.

This commit adds a search menu when links are dragged above empty
space. When releasing the drag, a menu displays all compatible
sockets with the source link. The "main" sockets (usually the first)
are weighted above other sockets in the search, so they appear first
when you type the name of the node.
A few special operators for creating a reroute or a group input node
are also added to the search.
Translation is started after choosing a node so it can be placed
quickly, since users would likely adjust the position after anyway.
A small "+" is displayed next to the cursor to give a hint about this.
Further improvements are possible after this first iteration:
- Support custom node trees.
- Better drawing of items in the search menu.
- Potential tweaks to filtering of items, depending on user feedback.

The const argument makes sense because these are the "source"
sockets, even though a const cast is necessary at one point.
The name "interface_socket" is an improvement over "stemp"
because the latter sounds like "temporary", or it confuses
the old socket template system with a node group's interface.
Currently the geometry nodes evaluator always stores a field for every
type that supports it, even if it is just a single value. This results in a lot
of overhead when there are many sockets that just contain a single
value, which is often the case.
This introduces a new `ValueOrField<T>` type that is used by the geometry
nodes evaluator. Now a field will only be created when it is actually
necessary. See D13307 for more details. In extrem cases this can speed
up the evaluation 2-3x (those cases are probably never hit in practice
though, but it's good to get rid of unnecessary overhead nevertheless).
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D13307
Previously, to get the declaration of a socket, one had to go
through `node->declaration`. Now this indirection is not necessary
anymore. This makes it easier to add more per-socket information
into the declaration and accessing it in various places.
Currently, this system is used by socket descriptions and node warnings
for unsupported geometry component types.
The sockets are not exposed in any nodes yet.
They work similar to the Object/Collection/Texture sockets,
which also just reference a data block.

This implements the initial core framework for fields and anonymous
attributes (also see T91274).
The new functionality is hidden behind the "Geometry Nodes Fields"
feature flag. When enabled in the user preferences, the following
new nodes become available: `Position`, `Index`, `Normal`,
`Set Position` and `Attribute Capture`.
Socket inspection has not been updated to work with fields yet.
Besides these changes at the user level, this patch contains the
ground work for:
* building and evaluating fields at run-time (`FN_fields.hh`) and
* creating and accessing anonymous attributes on geometry
(`BKE_anonymous_attribute.h`).
For evaluating fields we use a new so called multi-function procedure
(`FN_multi_function_procedure.hh`). It allows composing multi-functions
in arbitrary ways and supports efficient evaluation as is required by
fields. See `FN_multi_function_procedure.hh` for more details on how
this evaluation mechanism can be used.
A new `AttributeIDRef` has been added which allows handling named
and anonymous attributes in the same way in many places.
