Fix#142296 performance regression caused by merging UV positions
based on face area weights, replacing it with mean average weights
computation. The former method resulted in higher probability in making
subdivision cache invalid between frame updates and thus causing expensive
recreation of blender::bke::subdiv::OpenSubdiv_Evaluator object.
While this fix isn't directly answering a question why specific UV position
updates would cause this reevaluation of subdivision object, it fixes
the performance regression caused by #139595 PR.
This is a basic armature deformation test for #141535 using Lattices instead of
Mesh as the target object type. Lattice deformation was briefly broken, which is
caught by this test.
The test adds the general-purpose `unit_test_compare` function to lattice object
data. It only compares lattice point counts and positions for now, more data can
be added later if necessary.
The `MeshTest` class did not support lattice object types yet, so needed some
changes. The Curves case was already supported, but only by full conversion to
mesh data, without actually using the `unit_test_compare` function specific for
curves geometry. This is unchanged, because applying constructive modifiers on
curves does not work. If it were not for this limitation the test could do
actual curves comparisons now.
For lattice support the `MeshTest` class comparison function has been
generalized to all supported object data types. It runs the appropriate
`unit_test_compare` api function and validation where supported (only meshes at
this point).

Test for armature deform modifier settings that are not yet covered by other tests:
- Vertex Group vs. Envelope deformation and both combined.
- Vertex group masking ('vertex_group' setting of the modifier)
- Inverted vertex group masking
- Preserve Volume (dual quaternions)
- Vertex Group/Envelope influence mixing (bone option)
- B-Bone deformation
- Multi-modifier mixing
Each case has a new test/expected mesh pair in the modifiers test.

This test replaces the existing multires modifier test with one that
subdivides the mesh and then compares the result. The existing one has
little purpose, as it applies a modifier with 0 subdivision levels.

Fix#79163 bug related to the bevel operation producing disconnected UVs for
new bevel faces. This change replaces previous approach using scattered and
selective usage of functions: bev_merge_uvs, bev_merge_edge_uvs and
bev_merge_end_uvs with one coherent technique for all stages of the bevel operation.
It is utilizing a concept of loop (BMLoop) buckets to keep track of UV vertices
that should be merged at the end of bevel operation by a single call to
bevel_merge_uvs function. This approach doesn't touch initial UV position
calculation done by interpolation algorithm in bev_create_ngon function and
keeps the concept of representative faces (called frep, facerep or rep_face in
code) to help decide to which bucket specific loops should be assigned.
This is from PR https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/139595,
which has more explanation and discussion.
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.
