The problem here was that `RNA_parameter_set_lookup` was used incorrectly.
Instead of passing in the `PointerRNA`, one can pass in the value directly. If one
wanted to pass the `PointerRNA`, one would have to use `PARM_RNAPTR`, but
that's not necessary here.

# Issue
Having a lot of keys in your scene can dramatically slow down the Dope Sheet.
That is because everytime the Dope Sheet is redrawn,
the Keylists have to be recomputed.
In the case of the summary channel, that means going through
all keyframes of all the `FCurves` and adding them to the keylist.
That eats up 95% of the time it takes to draw a frame.
# This PR
It's not a perfect solution, rather it solves the performance issue
for the case when you are not displaying all keys.
Instead of going through all the keys, only add the
keys visible in the view to the keylist.
This speeds up the Dope Sheet significantly
depending on the zoom level.
This also improves the responsiveness when selecting and transforming keyframes.
# Performance changes
The function measured is `ED_channel_list_flush`
which is responsible for building the keylists and drawing them.
The test setup contains 62 bones with all
10 channels keyed (location, rot quaternion, scale) on 6000 frames.
So 3.720.000 keys. The heavier the dataset the bigger the performance impact.
The data was recorded with only the Dope Sheet open, and 3 channels visible
* Summary
* Object
* Action
The more channels are visible, the greater the performance gain. This can be seen in the video.

While it may have been working from a practical PoV (not certain though,
since some bug would prevent clearing runtime data when writing embedded
Scene collection in current code), this is semantically wrong.
The owner of an embedded ID is a critical piece of information in
Blender data structure and ID management code. Having it written in
.blend files is also a potential good source of data for investigating
issues.
Further more, this handling of `owner` ID data is somewhat generic now
in ID management, so if this data should be considered runtime, then the
change should also be made in NodeTree and Key IDs.
This commit partially reverts 44dd3308a5, in the future I'd like to
be involved in the review of changes affecting ID management.
NOTE: fix for embedded collection runtime data not being cleared on
write will be committed separately.
When in scene mode, operation searches the object in master collection
to unlink. But object can be in any collection. So iterate through all
collections present in scene to unlink the object

Motivation: When discussing with @Jeroen-Bakker and @aras_p about how to
approach sorting when rendering Gaussian splats in Blender, we realised that
compute shaders could help there (and have many other use cases), and that also
due to Blender 4.0 being on OpenGL >= 4.3, we can now rely on compute shaders
existing.
This PR is an initial pass for that functionality. It comes with a Python example, which
runs a compute shader and saves the output to a texture, which is then rendered in the
viewport.
There is no exposed support for storage buffers yet, but I expect I'll be able to work on
them soon if this is accepted.
The newly added parts are:
1. `gpu.compute.dispatch()`
2. a way set the compute source to `GPUShaderCreateInfo`: `shader_info.compute_source()`
3. a way to set the image store for `GPUShaderCreateInfo`: `shader_info.image()`
4. a way to set the `local_group_size` for `GPUShaderCreateInfo`: `shader_info.local_group_size(x,y,z)`
5. a way to get `max_work_group_size` from capabilities: `gpu.capabilities.max_work_group_size_get(index)`
6. a way to get `max_work_group_count` from capabilities: `gpu.capabilities.max_work_group_count_get(index)`

No functional changes.
Rename the `eAutokey_Flag` to `eKeyInsert_Flag`
to indicate that it is not only used for auto keying.
Also rename the enum items to better reflect what they are used for.

These drivers crash on startup caused by a driver bug. This include the
latest drivers for legacy Intel CPUs with a HD 4000/HD 5000 series GPU.
To be on the safe side all drivers with version 20.19.15.51* will be marked
unsupported as we don't have the platforms to identify the precise driver
versions that fail.
See #113124 for more information.

Since b1526dd2c6, viewport renderer sets `G.is_rendering`, but VSE scene
rendering function used this to decide whether to do offscreen opengl
render or use render API. This logic was quite weak.
Use `SeqRenderData::for_render` instead of `G.is_rendering`, since it
explicitly defines whether strip rendering is invoked by F12 render job.
Since offscreen gl rendering rely on `BLI_thread_is_main()` being
true, use this to initialize `do_seq_gl` variable for clarity.
The use of render job path was further conditioned on `G.is_rendering`,
with exception of running headless, but this condition was incorrect.
This condition was reformulated as precondition, which if true, returns
`nullptr` instead of crashing.

Add a function that copies selected values to groups of values in the
result array. Add a runtime-typed version and a version for affecting
all attributes. Also make the "gather_group_to_group" follow the
same pattern.
This allows for some optimization when we know
some effects are not present. Also this is needed
to detect the case when world contains absorption
in order to disable distant lighting.

Add an "Index Switch" node which is meant as a simpler version of
the "Menu Switch" from #113445 that doesn't allow naming items
or displaying them in a dropdown, but still allows choosing between
an arbitrary number of items, unlike the regular "Switch" node.
Even when the Menu Switch is included (which should be in the
same release as this), it may still be helpful to have explicit mapping
of indices, and a fair amount of the internals can be shared anyway.

Currently we have options to transfer the paint mask, face sets, and
color attributes to the new mesh created by voxel remesh. This doesn't
make use of the generic attribute design, where it would be clearer to
transfer all attributes with the same methods. That's reflected in the
code as well-- we do duplicate work for the mask and vertex colors, for
example.
This commit replaces the transfer options with a single checkbox for
all attributes. All attribute types on all domains are transferred with
basically the same method as the "Sample Nearest" node from geometry
nodes-- they take the value from the nearest source element of the same
domain. Face corners are handled differently than before. Instead of
retrieving the mixed value of all the corners from the nearest source
vertex, the value from the nearest corner of the nearest face.
---
Some timing information, showing that when interpolating the same
data, the attribute propagation is significantly faster than before.
Edge and corner attributes would add some cost (edges more than
corners), but might not always be present.
