OpenCollada used to rely on PCRE (a Perl Regexp library). Since
switching to Aras' OpenCollada fork (#122270), the library is no
longer needed, but is still required as a dependency.
This patch cleans this up by completely removing it from our build
system and linux system package installation script. This also lets
us remove it from our pre-compiled library platform repos, making the
process of recompiling our libraries from scratch easier as it wasn't
compiled by our dependency builder anymore.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/134310
OpenEXR: 3.3.2
OpenColorIO: 2.4.1
OpenVDB: 12.0.0
Also sync up exact FFMPEG version with reference (6.1.1, from
`versions.cmake`), and accept 7.x versions since Blender should also be
compatible with this major release.
See also #128577.
Turns out, `apt-cache` will not use exact package names match, leading
to invalid successful results in case a given package does not exist,
but a extended-name one does (e.g. looking for `python3.11` will return
results for packages like `libpython3.11-stdlib`...).
So add a first check using `apt show`, to ensure the requested package
name does exist first!
Also add a `__repr__` callback to the `PackageInstaller` class.
Although not currently used by `main` Blender, this library has been
tracked by platform maintainers for some times now, so time to also add
it to this script.
See aslo #128577.
Main improvements:
* Spatial structure (Kd-tree) build is now multithreaded.
* Kd-tree switched to use cache-friendlier TreeLets.
* Field fixed some non-deterministic behavior when spatial cache does
not receive any training data during a training iteration due to a
large number of training iterations.
* Fixed build problems on (non-Mac) ARM systems.

NOTE: Blender does not seem to build with older OpenImageIO versions
(2.4.x and before) anymore. Since this library is now mandatory, it
means that Blender cannot be built without using the pre-compiled libs
on most Debian system, currently.

Exceptions:
* Links to personal wiki pages
* Pages that are not in the new developer docs yet (like Human Interface Guidelines)
* tools\check_wiki\check_wiki_file_structure.py needs a refactor
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.
