Declarations can use the `add_input_output` method to create a combined input/output socket. The drawing code supports moving sockets up one vertical slot to align them with the predecessor.

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.

The dynamic declarations introduced by 7026096099 didn't
work properly for custom node socket types yet since changes weren't
detected and new sockets in group nodes or group inputs/outputs weren't
created correctly. The fix is simple, we just copy the pattern from the other
socket types.

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:

See: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/103343
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 main challenge is to avoid dangling pointers. Currently, the lifetime of socket
declarations is somewhat unbounded (at least we didn't restrict it explicitly yet).
Therefore, storing non-owning pointers in it tricky. For ID pointers one could
potentially use the foreach-id iterator to update pointers in declarations as well,
but that's a bit out of scope and might not be the right solution anyway, since it's
not obvious that all node declarations are reachable from IDs stored in `bmain`.
The solution now is to use a callback that retrieves the right ID pointer when it
is used. The important thing is that the callback does not capture any potentially
dangling pointer either.

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

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.
This is the best way I found to make building socket declarations without
the builder helper class work. Besides a vague hope for non-leaky
abstractions, I don't think there's any reason for these fields not to be
accessible directly.

This is the conventional way of dealing with unused arguments in C++,
since it works on all compilers.
Regex find and replace: `UNUSED\((\w+)\)` -> `/*$1*/`
This is a follow up to rBbb0fc675822f313c5546a2498a162472c2571ecb.
Now the same kind of run-time data is added to nodes and sockets.

Use a shorter/simpler license convention, stops the header taking so
much space.
Follow the SPDX license specification: https://spdx.org/licenses

While most of the source tree has been included
- `./extern/` was left out.
- `./intern/cycles` & `./intern/atomic` are also excluded because they
use different header conventions.
doc/license/SPDX-license-identifiers.txt has been added to list SPDX all
used identifiers.

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 original move to c++ that the other commits depended upon had some issues
that should be fixed before committing it again. The issues were reported in
T93797, T93809 and T93798.
We should also find a better rule for not using c-style casts going forward,
although that wouldn't have been reason enough to revert the commits.
Introducing something like a `MEM_new<T>` and `MEM_delete<T>`
function might help with the the most common case of casting the return
type of `MEM_malloc`.
Going forward, I recommend first committing the changes that don't
require converting files to c++. Then convert the shading node files
in smaller chunks. Especially don't mix fairly low risk changes like
moving some simple nodes, with higher risk changes.
This commit adds the shader socket type to the new socket builder api.
As a test, this commit also converts the Add Shader node to the new API

Previously, every node had to create warnings for unsupported input
geometry manually. Now this is automated. Nodes just have to specify
the geometry types they support in the node declaration.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D12899
This commits adds a few common flags to `SocketDeclaration`
so that they are available for all socket types (hide label, hide
value, is multi input). This allows porting over the remaining
geometry nodes to the new declaration system.
Furthermore, this commit separates the concepts of the socket
declaration and corresponding builders. The builders are used
by nodes to declare which sockets they have (e.g. `FloatBuilder`).
The ready build socket declarations can then be consumed by
other systems such as the versioning code. Both use cases
need different APIs and those will change for independent reasons,
so it makes sense to separate the classes.
Previously, built-in nodes had to implement "socket templates"
(`bNodeSocketTemplate`) to tell Blender which sockets they have.
It was nice that this was declarative, but this approach was way
too rigid and was cumbersome to use in many cases.
This commit starts to move us away from this rigid structure
by letting nodes implement a function that declares the sockets
the node has. Right now this is used as a direct replacement
of the "socket template" approach to keep the refactor smaller.
It's just a bit easier to read and write.
In the future we want to support more complex features like
dynamic numbers of sockets and type inferencing. Those features
will be easier to build on this new approach.
This new approach can live side by side with `bNodeSocketTemplate`
for a while. That makes it easier to update nodes one by one.
Note: In `bNodeSocketTemplate` socket identifiers were made
unique automatically. In this new approach, one has to specify
unique identifiers manually (unless the name is unique already).
