NOTE: This also required some changes to Cycles code itself, who is now
directly including `BKE_image.hh` instead of declaring a few prototypes
of these functions in its `blender/utils.h` header (due to C++ functions
names mangling, this was not working anymore).

Since their introduction, generated UDIM images/tiles would not be
loaded in Cycles. In relative recent history 72ab6faf5d added the
ability to track which tiles were still marked as being "generated" and
unsaved. However, that check was never implemented into the Cycles code.
With this PR, these two additional scenarios should now work:
- Properly load pixels if all tiles are generated
- Properly load pixels if a UDIM image has been loaded from a file and
new generated tiles have been added but not saved yet etc.

The depsgraph CoW mechanism is a bit of a misnomer. It creates an
evaluated copy for data-blocks regardless of whether the copy will
actually be written to. The point is to have physical separation between
original and evaluated data. This is in contrast to the commonly used
performance improvement of keeping a user count and copying data
implicitly when it needs to be changed. In Blender code we call this
"implicit sharing" instead. Importantly, the dependency graph has no
idea about the _actual_ CoW behavior in Blender.
Renaming this functionality in the despgraph removes some of the
confusion that comes up when talking about this, and will hopefully
make the depsgraph less confusing to understand initially too. Wording
like "the evaluated copy" (as opposed to the original data-block) has
also become common anyway.

Design task: #93551
This PR replaces the auto smooth option with a geometry nodes modifier
that sets the sharp edge attribute. This solves a fair number of long-
standing problems related to auto smooth, simplifies the process of
normal computation, and allows Blender to automatically choose between
face, vertex, and face corner normals based on the sharp edge and face
attributes.
Versioning adds a geometry node group to objects with meshes that had
auto-smooth enabled. The modifier can be applied, which also improves
performance.
Auto smooth is now unnecessary to get a combination of sharp and smooth
edges. In general workflows are changed a bit. Separate procedural and
destructive workflows are available. Custom normals can be used
immediately without turning on the removed auto smooth option.
**Procedural**
The node group asset "Smooth by Angle" is the main way to set sharp
normals based on the edge angle. It can be accessed directly in the add
modifier menu. Of course the modifier can be reordered, muted, or
applied like any other, or changed internally like any geometry nodes
modifier.
**Destructive**
Often the sharp edges don't need to be dynamic. This can give better
performance since edge angles don't need to be recalculated. In edit
mode the two operators "Select Sharp Edges" and "Mark Sharp" can be
used. In other modes, the "Shade Smooth by Angle" controls the edge
sharpness directly.
### Breaking API Changes
- `use_auto_smooth` is removed. Face corner normals are now used
automatically if there are mixed smooth vs. not smooth tags. Meshes
now always use custom normals if they exist.
- In Cycles, the lack of the separate auto smooth state makes normals look
triangulated when all faces are shaded smooth.
- `auto_smooth_angle` is removed. Replaced by a modifier (or operator)
controlling the sharp edge attribute. This means the mesh itself
(without an object) doesn't know anything about automatically smoothing
by angle anymore.
- `create_normals_split`, `calc_normals_split`, and `free_normals_split`
are removed, and are replaced by the simpler `Mesh.corner_normals`
collection property. Since it gives access to the normals cache, it
is automatically updated when relevant data changes.
Addons are updated here: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender-addons/pulls/104609
### Tests
- `geo_node_curves_test_deform_curves_on_surface` has slightly different
results because face corner normals are used instead of interpolated
vertex normals.
- `bf_wavefront_obj_tests` has different export results for one file
which mixed sharp and smooth faces without turning on auto smooth.
- `cycles_mesh_cpu` has one object which is completely flat shaded.
Previously every edge was split before rendering, now it looks triangulated.

Since 34b4487844, attributes are always made mutable when
accessed from the RNA API. This can result in unnecessary copies, which
increases memory usage and reduces performance.
Cycles is the only user of the C++ RNA API, which we'd like to remove
in the future since it doesn't really make sense in the big picture.
Hydra is now a better alternative for external render engines.
To start that change and fix the unnecessary copies, this commit
moves to use Blender headers directly for accessing attribute and
other geometry data. This also removes the few places that still had
overhead from the RNA API after the changes ([0]) in 3.6. In a simple
test with a large grid, I observed a 1.76x performance improvement,
from 1.04 to 0.59 seconds to extract the mesh data to Cycles.

- Rename name/filename/path to filepath when it's used for full paths.
- Rename name/path to dirpath when it refers to a directory.
- Rename file to filepath or path (when it may be a file or dir).
- Rename ImBuf::name & anim::name to filepath.
For example
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver()
{
}
```
becomes
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver() {}
```
Saves quite some vertical space, which is especially handy for
constructors.

Recently a new geometry node for splitting edges was added in D16399.
However, there was already a similar implementation in mesh.cc that was
mainly used to fake auto smooth support in Cycles by splitting sharp
edges and edges around sharp faces.
While there are still possibilities for optimization in the new code,
the implementation is safer and simpler, multi-threaded, and aligns
better with development plans for caching topology on Mesh and other
recent developments with attributes.
This patch removes the old code and moves the node implementation to
the geometry module so it can be used in editors and RNA. The "free
loop normals" argument is deprecated now, since it was only an internal
optimization exposed for Cycles.
The new mesh `editors` function creates an `IndexMask` of edges to
split by reusing some of the code from the corner normal calculation.
This change will help to simplify the changes in D16530 and T102858.

Assume geometry is always potentially animated, since we can't use our heuristic
to detect if the object is potentially animated by looking at modifiers on the
object.
The main original reason for this check was to avoid evaluating subdivision
surfaces for many static objects, which is not happening here anyway.

This adds support to render PointCloud motion blur from a standard
"velocity" attribute.
This implementation is similar to that of the Mesh geometry, and
perhaps some code could be deduplicated through a more generic API.
`mesh_need_motion_attribute` was renamed `object_need_motion_attribute`
as it does not really require a mesh and moved to `util.h` so that
it can be shared.
This fixes T94622.

This implements the design detailed in T92696 to support virtual
filenames for UDIM textures. Currently, the following 2 substitution
tokens are supported:
| Token | Meaning |
| ----- | ---- |
| <UDIM> | 1001 + u-tile + v-tile * 10 |
| <UVTILE> | Equivalent to u<u-tile + 1>_v<v-tile + 1> |
Example for u-tile of 3 and v-tile of 1:
filename.<UDIM>_ver0023.png --> filename.1014_ver0023.png
filename.<UVTILE>_ver0023.png --> filename.u4_v2_ver0023.png
For image loading, the existing workflow is unchanged. A user can select
one or more image files, belonging to one or more UDIM tile sets, and
have Blender load them all as it does today. Now the <UVTILE> format is
"guessed" just as the <UDIM> format was guessed before.
If guessing fails, the user can simply go into the Image Editor and type
the proper substitution in the filename. Once typing is complete,
Blender will reload the files and correctly fill the tiles. This
workflow is new as attempting to fix the guessing in current versions
did not really work, and the user was often stuck with a confusing
situation.
For image saving, the existing workflow is changed slightly. Currently,
when saving, a user has to be sure to type the filename of the first
tile (e.g. filename.1001.png) to save the entire UDIM set. The number
could differ if they start at a different tile etc. This is confusing.
Now, the user should type a filename containing the appropriate
substitution token. By default Blender will fill in a default name using
the <UDIM> token but the user is free to save out images using <UVTILE>
if they wish.

Remove prefix of filenames that is the same as the folder name. This used
to help when #includes were using individual files, but now they are always
relative to the cycles root directory and so the prefixes are redundant.
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the
renames and move over code to the right file.
