To match what the previous Python STL importer was doing, and what
the documentation / tooltips say is happening, the imported mesh
faces should be marked as sharp. Do that.
When path to export is in the form if "/some/folder/.stl", any
regular path functions (BLI_path_suffix, BLI_path_extension_replace
etc.) would not treat it as having ".stl" extension, but rather
as a hidden file called ".stl".
And so BLI_path_suffix would turn it into "/some/folder/.stlCube".
To prevent this, detect this exact case when the whole basename
is just ".stl", and remove the ".stl" part before using other path
functions.

Old python STL exporter, as well as other exporters like OBJ,
reverse the face order when object being exported has odd number
of negative scales in the matrix. The C++ STL exporter was lacking
that, resulting in the exported object looking "inside out".
The extra branch inside triangle export inner loop has no measurable
performance impact, probably because it is entirely predictable.

STL/PLY (also Collada) use `BKE_mesh_assign_object` to assign a mesh
(already in main, has a usercount of 1) to a fresh object.
That function does a bunch of (unneeded) things (test modifiers/
materials which is not necessary since these are fresh objects) next to
increasing usercount. Collada steers against this by reducing usercount
again. Other importers such as alembic assign the mesh directly to
object data (which is also what this PR proposes).

Remove the one-definition-rule violation due to two `Triangle` types
being used inside the same `blender::io::stl` namespace. Make a small
set of non-functional changes in the surrounding code along the way to
use `const` in more places.
STL had 4(!!) triangle types:
- A `class Triangle` : Used for import, contains indices
- A `struct Triangle` : Used for export, contains verts/normals, the ODR
violation
- A `struct ExportBinaryTriangle` : Used for export but is really the
same as the above type
- A `struct STLBinaryTriangle` : Used for import but was a duplicate
of the above type
Now STL has just 2. The `class Triangle` containing indices during
import and a `struct PackedTriangle` containing the verts/normals for
everything else. The duplicated `BINARY_HEADER_SIZE` constant is now
common as well.
Performance remains the same for both import/export and ascii/binary.

Enables the STL and PLY formats for Collection export.
Changes
- Set the export operator on the File handlers
- Plumb through the `collection` property and make use of it while
building the depsgraph
- Skip drawing the "Selection only" and "Batch" mode options when used
with collections

Object names can contain "/" & "\" and aren't safe to use in paths,
use BLI_path_make_safe_filename to ensure the name can be used in a
path.
Ref !120515
It was mostly correct, except for the case where a user sets an
empty string as the export filename. What was happening is:
- STL exporter invocation adds ".stl" extension, so the path becomes
foo/.stl
- Code tries to replace extension with "ObjectName.stl", but
BLI_path_extension_replace sees that the filename part starts with
a dot and thinks the ".stl" part is the whole filename, not the
extension
- Resulting path thus becomes "foo/.stlObjectName.stl"
Reduce dependence on Blender headers as much as possible and move closer
to an include-what-you-use setup.
- Removes unnecessary includes
- Replaces some includes with more appropriate, narrower, substitutes

- Pass null instead of an empty string to BKE_tempdir_init
because the string isn't meant to be used.
- Never pass null to BLI_temp_directory_path_copy_if_valid
(the caller must check).
- Additional comments for which checks are performed & why
from discussion about #95411.
Properly handle exceptions from STL and PLY code to prevent crashes on
invalid file paths.
This will now also Report errors/warnings to the callers of these
formats as well. For the UI this means a Report banner and Info editor
entry. For Python scripts this means an exception instead of silently
continuing.

The depsgraph CoW mechanism is a bit of a misnomer. It creates an
evaluated copy for data-blocks regardless of whether the copy will
actually be written to. The point is to have physical separation between
original and evaluated data. This is in contrast to the commonly used
performance improvement of keeping a user count and copying data
implicitly when it needs to be changed. In Blender code we call this
"implicit sharing" instead. Importantly, the dependency graph has no
idea about the _actual_ CoW behavior in Blender.
Renaming this functionality in the despgraph removes some of the
confusion that comes up when talking about this, and will hopefully
make the depsgraph less confusing to understand initially too. Wording
like "the evaluated copy" (as opposed to the original data-block) has
also become common anyway.

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.

I added a new BLO_userdef_default.h header to contain declarations of
two global variables that are still defined in C files. Use of designated
initializers for large structs make those files harder to change.
Arguably this is a better header for them anyway.

Bundling many tests in a single binary reduces build time and disk space
usage, but is less convenient for running individual tests command line
as filter flags need to be used.
This adds WITH_TESTS_SINGLE_BINARY to generate one executable file per
source file. Note that enabling this option requires a significant amount
of disk space.
Due to refactoring, the resulting ctest names are a bit different than
before. The number of tests is also a bit different depending if this
option is used, as one uses gtests discovery and the other is organized
purely by filename, which isn't always 1:1.

Except for vertex groups and a few older color types, these
are generally replaced by newer generic attribute types.
Also remove some includes of DNA_mesh_types.h, since it's
included indirectly by BKE_mesh.hh currently.
Use the standard "elements_num" naming, and use the "corner" name rather
than the old "loop" name: `verts_num`, `edges_num`, and `corners_num`.
This matches the existing `faces_num` field which was already renamed.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/116350
Make the naming consistent with the recent change from "loop" to
"corner". Avoid the need for a special type for these triangles by
conveying the semantics in the naming instead.
- `looptris` -> `corner_tris`
- `lt` -> `tri` (or `corner_tri` when there is less context)
- `looptri_index` -> `tri_index` (or `corner_tri_index`)
- `lt->tri[0]` -> `tri[0]`
- `Span<MLoopTri>` -> `Span<int3>`
- `looptri_faces` -> `tri_faces` (or `corner_tri_faces`)
If we followed the naming pattern of "corner_verts" and "edge_verts"
exactly, we'd probably use "tri_corners" instead. But that sounds much
worse and less intuitive to me.
I've found that by using standard vector types for this sort of data,
the commonalities with other areas become much clearer, and code ends
up being naturally more data oriented. Besides that, the consistency
is nice, and we get to mostly remove use of `DNA_meshdata_types.h`.

NDEBUG is part of the C standard and disables asserts. Only this will
now be used to decide if asserts are enabled.
DEBUG was a Blender specific define, that has now been removed.
_DEBUG is a Visual Studio define for builds in Debug configuration.
Blender defines this for all platforms. This is still used in a few
places in the draw code, and in external libraries Bullet and Mantaflow.
