Currently these operators work on the active attribute for each
selected mesh or curves data-block. That doesn't really make
sense because you can only see the active attribute for the
active data-block. It's better to try to affect the attribute with
the same name for every geometry, regardless of which is active.

- Gives O(1) access to string length in more cases
- Convenient string manipulation functions
- Clarify difference between "no string" and "empty string"
- Avoid the need for raw pointers in the API
- Shows which API string arguments are optional

The attribute API defined in `attribute.cc` was dependent on
the assumption that `ID`s are always the "direct" owners of attributes.
For Grease Pencil drawings, this is not the case. The Grease Pencil ID
stores the attributes for layers, and the attributes for drawings are stored
in `CurvesGeometry` on the drawings themselves.
In order to make use of `rna_attribute.cc`, we need that API to handle
other types of attribute owners.
This adds an `AttributeOwner` which is basically just a type and a
pointer. We replace the `ID` pointers and pass `AttributeOwner`s instead.
For cases where we have to do a switch based on the type, all the
types are handled and the `default` statment is left out. This ensures
that we get a compiler warning when a new `AttributeOwnerType`
is added.
No functional changes expected.

Also fix the poll to properly check for the remaining unsupported types.
Don't add back Quaternion support, since that's arguably less useful,
and we might want different ways to set those values compared to
just entering WXYZ.
This simplifies code using these functions because of RAII,
range based for loops, and the lack of output arguments.
Also pass object pointer array as a span in more cases.

Each value is now out of the global namespace, so they can be shorter
and easier to read. Most of this commit just adds the necessary casting
and namespace specification. `enum class` can be forward declared since
it has a specified size. We will make use of that in the next commit.
The term `looptri` was used ambiguously for both single & arrays.
The term `tri` was also used, causing `tri->tri`.
Use terms:
- `looptris` for an array or when dealing with multiple items.
- `looptri` is used when dealing with a single item.
- `lt` for a single MLoopTri variables & arguments.
This was already a convention but not followed closely.
Similar to #104426, this adds a simple operator to set attribute values
for curves edit mode. The operator is very basic and is only meant to
be a first step for more attribute editing features. Some of the
functionality could be achieved with node tools, but without dynamic
socket types or access to the active attribute, it would be incomplete.
Some of the RNA property registration, retrieval, and setting is reused
from the mesh edit mode operator. The rest of the logic is similar but
harder to de-duplicate.

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.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
Add a quaternion attribute type that will be used in combination with
rotation sockets for geometry nodes to give a more intuitive experience
and better performance when using rotations.
The most interesting part is probably the interpolation, the rest is
the same as the last attribute type addition, 988f23cec3.
We need to interpolate multiple values with different weights.
Based on Sybren's suggestion, this uses the `expmap` methods from
4805a54525 for that.
This also refactors `SimpleMixerWithAccumulationType` to use a
function rather than a cast to convert to the accumulation type.
See #92967

A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:

This type will be used to store mesh edges in #106638, but it could
be used for anything else too. This commit adds support for:
- The new type in the Python API
- Editing the type in the edit mode "Attribute Set" operator
- Rendering the type in EEVEE and Cycles for all geometry types
- Geometry nodes attribute interpolation and mixing
- Viewing the type in the spreadsheet and using row filters
The attribute uses the `blender::int2` type in most code, and
the `vec2i` DNA type in C code when necessary. The enum names
are based on `INT32_2D` for consistency with `INT8` and `INT32`.

Refactoring mesh code, it has become clear that local cleanups and
simplifications are limited by the need to keep a C public API for
mesh functions. This change makes code more obvious and makes further
refactoring much easier.
- Add a new `BKE_mesh.hh` header for a C++ only mesh API
- Introduce a new `blender::bke::mesh` namespace, documented here:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/Objects/Mesh#Namespaces
- Move some functions to the new namespace, cleaning up their arguments
- Move code to `Array` and `float3` where necessary to use the new API
- Define existing inline mesh data access functions to the new header
- Keep some C API functions where necessary because of RNA
- Move all C++ files to use the new header, which includes the old one
In the future it may make sense to split up `BKE_mesh.hh` more, but for
now keeping the same name as the existing header keeps things simple.

This patch adds a simple operator to set values of the active
attribute for the selected element. The aim is to give simple control
over attribute values in edit mode rather than to provide the fastest
workflow for most cases. Eventually this operator might be less
important compared to more advanced attribute editing tools, but for
now, exposing a little bit of functionality is low hanging fruit and
will help to see the possibilities.
The implementation mostly consists of boilerplate to register the
necessary property types for the operator and draw their UI.
Beyond that, we just loop over selected elements and set a value.
