Many nodes operate on all the instances that are passed into them. For example,
the Subdivision Surface node subdivides the mesh at the root but also instanced
meshes. This works well for most nodes, but there are a few nodes were the old
`modify_geometry_sets` function was not very well defined and it was tricky to
use correctly.
The fundamental problem was that the behavior is not obvious when a node creates
or modifies instances and how those are integrated with the already existing
instances.
This patch solves this with the following changes:
* Remove the old `GeometrySet::modify_geometry_sets` and related
`*_during_modify` methods.
* Add a new `blender::geometry::foreach_real_geometry` function that is similar
to the old `modify_geometry_sets` but has a more well-defined interface:
* It never passes instances into the callback. So existing instances can't be
modified with it.
* The callback is allowed to create new instances. This will automatically be
merged back with potentially already existing instances. The callback does
not have to worry about accidentally invalidating existing instances like
before.
* A few existing usages used `modify_geometry_sets` to actually modify existing
instances (usually just removing attributes). Those can't use the new
`foreach_real_geometry`, so they just get a custom simple recursive
implementation instead of using a generic function.

When not all the meshes referenced by the instances recursively
are realized because of the limit of the depth input, and those
meshes have vertex groups, a crash is possible because of an
un-checked VectorSet lookup. `all_meshes_info.order` includes
all meshes regardless of the depth and mask arguments.

This change moves the tests data files and publish folder of assets
repository to the main blender.git repository as LFS files.
The goal of this change is to eliminate toil of modifying tests,
cherry-picking changes to LFS branches, adding tests as part of a
PR which brings new features or fixes.
More detailed explanation and conversation can be found in the
design task.
