* Only works on machines with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen3 or above.
Older generation devices are not and will not be supported due to
some driver issues
* Requires VS2022 for building.
* Uses new MSVC preprocessor for sse2neon compatibility.
* SIMD is not enabled, waiting on conversion of blenlib to C++.

git on windows is giving no status updates while git lfs
is downloading the libs, causing people to assume its
stuck and interrupt the download. This change adds a
rather large visual message telling people not to do
that.
also it was not respecting people selecting n on the lib
download so some extra messaging has been added there
as well.
Git escaped a quote and used all of the cli arguments as the
folder name.
Also fixes:
- Progress on the initial clone so it doesn't appear stuck
- re-detect python after updating libs, so you don't have to run
make update twice on a fresh clone.
- Hide python not found warning unless the lib folder exists (this
seemingly got lost in one of the merges)
This change makes it so build system and update utilities for Blender builds
are using pre-compiled libraries and other resources attached as Git modules
instead of using checkout of SVN repositories in the parent folder.
The directory layout:
```
* release/datafiles/
* assets/ -> blender-assets.git
* publish/
* ...
* README.txt
* lib/
* darwin_x64/ -> lib-darwin_x64.git
* darwin_arm64/ -> lib-darwin_arm64.git
* linux_x64/ -> lib-linux_x64.git
* windows_x64/ -> lib-windows_x64.git
* tests/
* data/ -> blender-test-data.git
```
The changes about configuring the actual Git sub-modules are not included
into this patch, as those require repository to actually exist before it
can be used.
The assets submodule is enabled by default, and the rest of them are
disabled. This means that if someone runs `git submodule update --init`
they will not get heavy libraries. The platform-specific and tests
related submodules are enabled when using `make update` or `make test`.
All the submodules are tracked: this means that when new commits are
done to the submodule, the blender.git repository is to be updated to
point them to the new hash. This causes some extra manual work, but it
allows to more easily update Blender and its dependencies to known good
state when performing operations like bisect.

This adds preliminary VS 2022 support, since
there currently is no CMake version that
supports the VS2022 IDE only ninja support
was tested.
IDE support should work without any additional
changes as soon as an updated CMake becomes
available.
As VS2022 appears to keep binary compatibility
with earlier MSVC versions, the current SVN
libraries will work for this version.
This change removes 32 bit support from the helper make.bat scripts
as we are dropping official 32 bit support, you can still build for
32 bit by configuring your build yourself using cmake and pointing
the LIBDIR cmake variable to your own 32 bit library folder.
VS2019 is binary compatible with the existing vc14 libraries and no
new libraries libs are required in svn.
VS2019 support requires cmake 3.14.
VS2019 is still in pre-release state, you are required to explicitly
select the pre-release version by using:
make full 2019pre
make.bat was starting to become hard to maintain, this refactors it into separate batch files for each stage of the process.
-Improved detection of msvc2013/2015
-Improved failure handling.
-Added check for working msbuild and C++ compiler
-Added verbose switch to ease trouble shooting.
-Added Check if svn/cmake/git are in the path before using them
-Display the build configuration before asking to download the libraries
-Offer an option to recover an interrupted checkout of the libraries.
-Automatically check out sub-modules in-case they are missing.
