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.

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', ...).

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.

There are a couple of functions that create rna pointers. For example
`RNA_main_pointer_create` and `RNA_pointer_create`. Currently, those
take an output parameter `r_ptr` as last argument. This patch changes
it so that the functions actually return a` PointerRNA` instead of using
the output parameters.
This has a few benefits:
* Output parameters should only be used when there is an actual benefit.
Otherwise, one should default to returning the value.
* It's simpler to use the API in the large majority of cases (note that this
patch reduces the number of lines of code).
* It allows the `PointerRNA` to be const on the call-site, if that is desired.
No performance regression has been measured in production files.
If one of these functions happened to be called in a hot loop where
there is a regression, the solution should be to use an inline function
there which allows the compiler to optimize it even better.

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.
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:

The Vector Math node's label has a special function used to compute
its label based on the currently selected operation. This operation,
like that of the Math node, is extracted using the "NodeTree"
translation context.
Therefore, in this function it must also use the same context to
translate the label.
In addition, a few node types can have an "Unknown" label if there is
a problem with their internal state (operation, filter type, blending
type). This message can also be translated.

Changes:
1. Added `BKE_node.hh` file. New file includes old one.
2. Functions moved to new file. Redundant `(void)`, `struct` are removed.
3. All cpp includes replaced from `.h` on `.hh`.
4. Everything in `BKE_node.hh` is on `blender::bke` namespace.
5. All implementation functions moved in namespace.
6. Function names (`BKE_node_*`) changed to `blender::bke::node_*`.
7. `eNodeSizePreset` now is a class, with renamed items.

Only use the term len & maxlen when they represent the length & maximum
length of a string. Instead of the available bytes to use.
Also include the data they're referencing as a suffix, otherwise it's
not always clear what the length is in reference to.
The goal is to solve confusion of the "All rights reserved" for licensing
code under an open-source license.
The phrase "All rights reserved" comes from a historical convention that
required this phrase for the copyright protection to apply. This convention
is no longer relevant.
However, even though the phrase has no meaning in establishing the copyright
it has not lost meaning in terms of licensing.
This change makes it so code under the Blender Foundation copyright does
not use "all rights reserved". This is also how the GPL license itself
states how to apply it to the source code:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software ...
This change does not change copyright notice in cases when the copyright
is dual (BF and an author), or just an author of the code. It also does
mot change copyright which is inherited from NaN Holding BV as it needs
some further investigation about what is the proper way to handle it.
Allow to explicitly swap node links by pressing the alt-key while
reconnecting node links. This replaces the old auto-swapping based on
matching prefixes in socket names.
The new behavior works as follows:
* By default plugging links into already occupied (single input)
sockets will connect the dragged link and remove the existing one.
* Pressing the alt-key while dragging an existing node link from one
socket to another socket that is already connected will swap the
links' destinations.
* Pressing the alt-key while dragging a new node link into an already
linked socket will try to reconnect the existing links into another
socket of the same type and remove the links, if no matching socket
is found on the node. This is similar to the old auto-swapping.
Swapping links from or to multi input sockets is not supported.
This commit also makes the link drag tooltip better visible, when using
light themes by using the text theme color.

Since a year and a half ago we've been switching to a new way to
represent what sockets a node should have called "declarations"
that's easier to use, clearer, and more flexible for upcoming
features like dynamic socket counts or generic type sockets.
All builtin nodes with a static set of sockets have switched, but one
missing area has been group nodes and group input/output nodes. These
nodes have **dynamic** declarations which change based on their
properties or the group they're inside of. This patch addresses that,
in preparation for using the same dynamic declaration feature for
simulation nodes.
Generally there shouldn't be user-visible differences, but one benefit
is that user-created socket descriptions are now visible directly in
the node editor for group nodes and group input/output nodes.
The commit contains a few changes:
- Add a node type callback for building dynamic declarations with
different arguments
- Add an `Extend` socket declaration for the "virtual" sockets used
for connecting new links
- A similar `Custom` socket declaration is used for addon-defined socket
- Simplify the node update loop to use the declaration to build update
sockets
- Replace the "group update" functions with the declaration building
- Move the node group input/output link creation to link drag operator
- Make the field status part of group node declarations
(not for group input/output nodes though)
- Some fixes for declarations to make them update and build properly
