This is the refactoring part of D8805 (should be no functional changes).
- exposes pose-related part of former 'get_constraints()' from
interface_templates.c to new ED_object_pose_constraint_list
- rename ED_object_constraint_list_from_context -->
ED_object_constraint_active_list
Also clarify comments on both of these.

Add support for object data instancing. This is used when the objects
are instances, for example when duplicated by a particle system, or
instanced by the duplication system (collection-duplicating empties,
vertex/face duplis, etc.)
Since Alembic already deduplicates data, this doesn't make the resulting
Alembic files any smaller. They will be faster to write, though, when
there is a lot of instanced geometry, as the deduplication system won't
have to do any comparisons.
This instancing support is still limited, in the sense that only object
data is instanced and all transforms are still written explicitly. A
future improvement could be to support instancing entire collection
hierarchies.
Blender's Alembic importer has no understanding of these Alembic
instances yet, and will thus happily duplicate the data on import.
The USD Alembic plugin seems to have problems understanding the
instancing. There might also be other software with similar issues.
Because of this, instancing can be turned off in the exporter (it's on
by default).
Split `ABCHierarchyIterator::get_alembic_parent()` into two functions:
- For a given export path, find the Alembic object
- Ensure that that object is usable as parent object (Alembic uses a
specific 'top' object as parent to indicate "no parent").
The new function is `public` as it will be used in an upcoming feature,
and is required to be public then.
No functional changes.
Split the `ABCHierarchyIterator::create_data_writer()` function into two
functions. This is to prepare for the creation of writers not just by
object type, but also by goal, for example writers that reference other
Alembic data instead of writing their own (i.e. instancing).
No functional changes.
Extract the mesh instancing code from the mesh writing function into a
generic 'mark as instance' function on the abstract USD writer. This will
help in supporting non-mesh instances.
No functional changes.
Remove the hack for library initialisation; this is no longer necessary
as the required information can be passed to the USD library after its
static initialisers have run.
This new approach is compatible with both the patched and original USD
library. This means that platform maintainers don't need to rebuild the
USD library until the next upgrade.

Initialize the USD library when used (instead of at startup), so that
this can happen inside the IO/USD module. This makes calls to the USD
library local to Blender's USD code.
Note that failure to find the USD JSON files will now only be reported
when the USD exporter is used, and not on every startup of Blender.
This is the first step in cleaning up the way Blender patches and
initialises the USD library.

Need to make sure node factories are initialized prior to the dependency
graph allocation.
The regression was initially introduced in 5b021dff41
Thanks Brecht for testing!
Split the depsgraph allocation into a separate function
`BKE_scene_ensure_depsgraph()`. Parameters are only passed to those
functions that actually need them. This removes the the "if that boolean
is `false` this pointer is allowed to be `NULL`" logic and more cleanly
decouples code.
No functional changes.
The fix for T75936 made it possible to export invisible objects to
Alembic. This commit applies the same approach to the USD exporter.
The USD and Alembic code is slightly different in terms of where in the
exported file the visibility attribute is stored. In USD the visibility
is used to prune the scene graph, and thus there are only two options:
"hidden" and "inherited". Setting the visiblity of a node in the scene
graph to "hidden" immediately hides all its children. To allow hidden
parents with visible children, the visibility is stored on the object
data (so the geometry/camera/lamp/etc) instead.
Add a test that checks invisible objects are iterated over by the
`IO::AbstractHierarchyIterator` class, when a suitable depsgraph is given.
No functional changes.
Add a new depsgraph builder class that includes invisible objects and
use that in the Alembic exporter.
Alembic supports three options for visibility, "visible", "inherited",
and "hidden". This means that parents can be hidden and still have
visible children (contrary to USD, where invisibility is used to prune
an entire scene graph subtree). Because of this, the visibility is
stored on the transform node, as that represents the Object in Blender
and thus keeps the Alembic file as close to Blender's own structure as
possible.

This replaces header include guards with `#pragma once`.
A couple of include guards are not removed yet (e.g. `__RNA_TYPES_H__`),
because they are used in other places.

This patch adds the ability to render motion blur from Alembic caches.
The motion blur data is derived from a velocity attribute whose name has
to be defined by the user through the MeshSequenceCache modifier, with a
default value of ".velocities", which is the standard name in Alembic
for the velocity property, although other software may ignore it and
write velocity with their own naming convention (e.g. "v" in Houdini).
Furthermore, a property was added to define how the velocity vectors
are interpreted with regard to time : frame or second. "Frame"
means that the velocity is already scaled by the time step and we do not
need to modify it for it to look proper. "Second" means that the unit
the velocity was measured in is in seconds and so has to be scaled by
some time step computed here as being the time between two frames (1 /
FPS, which would be typical for a simulation). This appears to be
common, and is the default behavior.
Another property was added to control the scale of the velocity to
further modify the look of the motion blur.

The abbreviation 'init' is brief, unambiguous and already used
in thousands of places, also initialize is often accidentally
written with British spelling.
The root cause was that `BKE_object_moves_in_time()` incorrectly returns
`false` when an object is moved by the physics system.
This also fixes the same issue in the USD exporter.
Setting the environment variable `PXR_PATH_DEBUG` non-empty will make the
USD library print the directories it uses to find its JSON files. This can
aid in debugging when this unit test fails. Now the failure message also
tells you about this.
No functional changes.
The function is called for all writers, not just 'object' writers.
Furthermore, it's called by the function `release_writers()`, so now the
name is consistent with that as well.
No functional changes.
The unit tests for `bf_io_common` didn't actually link against
`bf_io_common`, so when both USD and Alembic were disabled, nothing
would link against that library and building the tests would fail.
