The main issue of 'type-less' standard C allocations is that there is no check on
allocated type possible.
This is a serious source of annoyance (and crashes) when making some
low-level structs non-trivial, as tracking down all usages of these
structs in higher-level other structs and their allocation is... really
painful.
MEM_[cm]allocN<T> templates on the other hand do check that the
given type is trivial, at build time (static assert), which makes such issue...
trivial to catch.
NOTE: New code should strive to use MEM_new (i.e. allocation and
construction) as much as possible, even for trivial PoD types.

Restriction of the nodes api to clearly define never-null function arguments.
Side effects: some assertions and null-check (with early return) were removed.
On the caller side is ensured to never derefer null to pass argument (mainly in RNA).
In addition, one pointer argument now actually a return type.
By-reference return types instead of pointers going to be separate kind of
change since also imply of cleaning up variables created from reference.
Also good future improvement would be to mark a copy-constructor as
explicit for DNA node types.

Main goals of this refactor:
* Make it more obvious which update function should be used.
* Make it more obvious which parameters are required by using references instead
of pointers.
* Support passing in multiple modified trees instead of just a single one.
No functional changes are expected.

The new description for `bNode.type_legacy`:
```
/**
* Legacy integer type for nodes. It does not uniquely identify a node type, only the `idname`
* does that. For example, all custom nodes use #NODE_CUSTOM but do have different idnames.
* This is mainly kept for compatibility reasons.
*
* Currently, this type is also used in many parts of Blender, but that should slowly be phased
* out by either relying on idnames, accessor methods like `node.is_reroute()`.
*
* A main benefit of this integer type over using idnames currently is that integer comparison is
* much cheaper than string comparison, especially if many idnames have the same prefix (e.g.
* "GeometryNode"). Eventually, we could introduce cheap-to-compare runtime identifier for node
* types. That could mean e.g. using `ustring` for idnames (where string comparison is just
* pointer comparison), or using a run-time generated integer that is automatically assigned when
* node types are registered.

This caused build errors on the docs builder, I can't seem to reproduce
locally, so revert for now and have another look at some point in the
future.
Sadly as these changes usually go, this took 5c515e26bb and
2f0fc7fc9f with it as well.

Currently each node's position is stored in the coordinate space of
its parent. To find the location of a node on the canvas, we have to
apply the translation of each of its parents. Also, nodes have hidden
"offset" values used while transforming frame nodes. Together,
those made the system much more complicated than necessary,
and they made the Python API ineffective.
This commit removes usage of the offset values and moves nodes
to be stored in the "global" space of the node canvas. It also resolves
some weird behavior when resizing frame nodes, and fixes a few bugs.
The change is forward compatible, so we still write files with nodes in
the old parent-space format. In 5.0 the conversion when writing can be
removed. The existing Python API also stays the same. A new
"location_absolute" property gives node locations in global space,
and changing the old property also moves the child nodes of frames.
Resolves#92458, #72904.

This implements the proposal from #124512. For that it contains the following
changes:
* Remove the global override of `new`/`delete` when `WITH_CXX_GUARDEDALLOC` was
enabled.
* Always use `MEM_CXX_CLASS_ALLOC_FUNCS` where it is currently used. This used
to be guarded by `WITH_CXX_GUARDEDALLOC` in some but not all cases. This means
that a few classes which didn't use our guarded allocator by default before,
are now using it.

Replace plain-text type information with the type syntax used
for Python's type annotations as it's more concise, especially for
callbacks which often didn't include useful type information.
Note that this change only applies to inline doc-strings,
generated doc-strings from RNA need to be updated separately.
Details:
- Many minor corrections were made when "list" was incorrectly used
instead of "sequence".
- Some type information wasn't defined in the doc-strings and has been
added.
- Verbose type info would benefit from support for type aliases.
For now, PointerRNA is made non-trivial by giving explicit default
values to its members.
Besides of BPY python binding code, the change is relatively trivial.
The main change (besides the creation/deletion part) is the replacement
of `memset` by zero-initialized assignment (using `{}`).
makesrna required changes are quite small too.
The big piece of this PR is the refactor of the BPY RNA code.
It essentially brings back allocation and deletion of the BPy_StructRNA,
BPy_Pointer etc. python objects into 'cannonical process', using `__new__`,
and `__init__` callbacks (and there matching CAPI functions).
Existing code was doing very low-level manipulations to create these
data, which is not really easy to understand, and AFAICT incompatible
with handling C++ data that needs to be constructed and destructed.
Unfortunately, similar change in destruction code (using `__del__` and
matching `tp_finalize` CAPI callback) is not possible, because of technical
low-level implementation details in CPython (see [1] for details).
`std::optional` pointer management is used to encapsulate PointerRNA
data. This allows to keep control on _when_ actual RNA creation is done,
and to have a safe destruction in `tp_dealloc` callbacks.
Note that a critical change in Blender's Python API will be that classes
inherinting from `bpy_struct` etc. will now have to properly call the
base class `__new__` and/or `__init__`if they define them.
Implements #122431.

Use snake style naming for all the kernel nodes functions.
Omit kernel prefix in the names since of the using namespace.
Use full forms of the terms
('iter' -> 'iterator', 'ntree' -> 'node_tree', 'rem' -> 'remove', ...).

API: merged IMB_scalefastImBuf, IMB_scaleImBuf, IMB_scaleImBuf_threaded
into one function IMB_scale with enum IMBScaleFilter {Nearest, Bilinear, Box}
and bool "threaded" param.
Performance:
- Box filtering (nee IMB_scaleImBuf) can be multi-threaded now.
- Nearest filtering (nee IMB_scalefastImBuf) can be multi-threaded now.
Also fix performance regression on float images caused by fix in #126234
- Bilinear filtering (nee IMB_scaleImBuf_threaded) is several times faster now.
Correctness:
- Nearest and Box filtering: no longer loses half of edge pixels when scaling
up.
- Box: fixed garbage results (and possible out of bounds reads) for non-4
channel float images.
- Bilinear: no longer shifts image when scaling up.
- Bilinear: properly filters when scaling down by 2x2.
Test coverage:
- Add gtest coverage for various IMB_scale modes.
- Add a IMB_performance_test performance test, ran manually.
More details, images and performance numbers in PR.

This commit moves generated `RNA_blender.h`, `RNA_prototype.h` and
`RNA_blender_cpp.h` headers to become C++ header files.
It also removes the now useless `RNA_EXTERN_C` defines, and just
directly use the `extern` keyword. We do not need anymore `extern "C"`
declarations here.

Move all header file into namespace.
Unnecessary namespaces was removed from implementations file.
Part of forward declarations in header was moved in the top part
of file just to do not have a lot of separate namespaces.

The `object_to_world` and `world_to_object` matrices are set during
depsgraph evaluation, calculated from the object's animated location,
rotation, scale, parenting, and constraints. It's confusing and
unnecessary to store them with the original data in DNA.
This commit moves them to `ObjectRuntime` and moves the matrices to
use the C++ `float4x4` type, giving the potential for simplified code
using the C++ abstractions. The matrices are accessible with functions
on `Object` directly since they are used so commonly. Though for write
access, directly using the runtime struct is necessary.
The inverse `world_to_object` matrix is often calculated before it's
used, even though it's calculated as part of depsgraph evaluation.
Long term we might not want to store this in `ObjectRuntime` at all,
and just calculate it on demand. Or at least we should remove the
redundant calculations. That should be done separately though.
