Provide building block support for integer operations.
Manipulation of integer based data should not be limited to using float math nodes.
Using float math comes with accuracy issues for larger integers and requires unnecessary
type conversions.
The node also adds some integer specific operations like GCM and LCD.

This exposes warnings that are propagated to the modifier in the Python API.
This allows people to show these warnings in custom UIs for their node groups.
Warnings are accessed like this:
```python
for warning in modifier.node_warnings:
print(warning.message)
print(warning.type)
```
Note that this only works on the geometry nodes modifier. These warnings may
be extended with more information in the future. E.g. it could be useful to know
which node created the warning.

The term "tool" is historic from before the actual tool system got
introduced. Since then the term was already a bit confusing, because it
wasn't directly related to the tool system, but there was still some
relationship between the two. Now brushes and their types are decoupled
much more from the tool system, with a single "Brush" tool supporting
all kinds of brushes (draw, grab, cloth, smooth, ...).
For a more clear terminology, use "brush type" instead of "tool".
For #126032 we need to write the brush type to the asset metadata (done
in !124618), so we can filter brushes based on the type (so the grease
pencil eraser tool only shows eraser brushes, for example). I'd like to
use future proof names for that to avoid versioning of asset metadata in
future, so I'd rather do the full naming change now.
RNA properties (thus BPY names) are not changed for compatibility
reasons. Can be done in 5.0, see blender/blender#124201.

This removes the legacy Grease Pencil modifiers from the code.
These should have already been inaccessible from the UI and hidden from
the user. The modifiers have been reimplemented for the new GPv3
data structure.
On top of the modifier code, some other related things have been
removed as well:
* Operators related to the legacy modifiers.
* Keymaps for the legacy modifier operators.
* Some bits of code that used modifier functions.
Some code has to be kept, because it is still used:
* The core line art code, which is used by the new line art modifier. It's
moved to `modifiers/lineart`.
* The DNA structs for the legacy modifiers. They are still needed for
conversion.
* A few kernel functions for the modifiers are kept (also for conversion).

This adds support for attaching gizmos for input values. The goal is to make it
easier for users to set input values intuitively in the 3D viewport.
We went through multiple different possible designs until we settled on the one
implemented here. We picked it for it's flexibility and ease of use when using
geometry node assets. The core principle in the design is that **gizmos are
attached to existing input values instead of being the input value themselves**.
This actually fits the existing concept of gizmos in Blender well, but may be a
bit unintutitive in a node setup at first. The attachment is done using links in
the node editor.
The most basic usage of the node is to link a Value node to the new Linear Gizmo
node. This attaches the gizmo to the input value and allows you to change it
from the 3D view. The attachment is indicated by the gizmo icon in the sockets
which are controlled by a gizmo as well as the back-link (notice the double
link) when the gizmo is active.
The core principle makes it straight forward to control the same node setup from
the 3D view with gizmos, or by manually changing input values, or by driving the
input values procedurally.
If the input value is controlled indirectly by other inputs, it's often possible
to **automatically propagate** the gizmo to the actual input.
Backpropagation does not work for all nodes, although more nodes can be
supported over time.
This patch adds the first three gizmo nodes which cover common use cases:
* **Linear Gizmo**: Creates a gizmo that controls a float or integer value using
a linear movement of e.g. an arrow in the 3D viewport.
* **Dial Gizmo**: Creates a circular gizmo in the 3D viewport that can be
rotated to change the attached angle input.
* **Transform Gizmo**: Creates a simple gizmo for location, rotation and scale.
In the future, more built-in gizmos and potentially the ability for custom
gizmos could be added.
All gizmo nodes have a **Transform** geometry output. Using it is optional but
it is recommended when the gizmo is used to control inputs that affect a
geometry. When it is used, Blender will automatically transform the gizmos
together with the geometry that they control. To achieve this, the output should
be merged with the generated geometry using the *Join Geometry* node. The data
contained in *Transform* output is not visible geometry, but just internal
information that helps Blender to give a better user experience when using
gizmos.
The gizmo nodes have a multi-input socket. This allows **controlling multiple
values** with the same gizmo.
Only a small set of **gizmo shapes** is supported initially. It might be
extended in the future but one goal is to give the gizmos used by different node
group assets a familiar look and feel. A similar constraint exists for
**colors**. Currently, one can choose from a fixed set of colors which can be
modified in the theme settings.
The set of **visible gizmos** is determined by a multiple factors because it's
not really feasible to show all possible gizmos at all times. To see any of the
geometry nodes gizmos, the "Active Modifier" option has to be enabled in the
"Viewport Gizmos" popover. Then all gizmos are drawn for which at least one of
the following is true:
* The gizmo controls an input of the active modifier of the active object.
* The gizmo controls a value in a selected node in an open node editor.
* The gizmo controls a pinned value in an open node editor. Pinning works by
clicking the gizmo icon next to the value.

This pull request adds an "Active Element" node that exposes the active
vertex, edge, or face index to the geometry node tool context. The
presence of an active element is available as a boolean.
This node enables the creation of "active-to-selected" style operators.

For the brush assets project (#116337) all editors with brushes are
getting an asset shelf, and the brush tools are combined, with
individual brushes accessed in the shelf. That design seems way
overkill for UV sculpting which is just three very simple tools.
In order to avoid one editor with inconsistent use of brushes, which
would significantly increase the complexity of the system after the
brush assets merge, port the three UV sculpt tools to be regular
modal operators that don't use the brush or paint system at all.
To be clear, this is a compromise that doesn't feel ideal, but no
one could think of a better solution. Theoretically this removes
some flexibility from UV edit "sculpting", in practice it probably
won't be a noticeable change.

Design task: #93551
This PR replaces the auto smooth option with a geometry nodes modifier
that sets the sharp edge attribute. This solves a fair number of long-
standing problems related to auto smooth, simplifies the process of
normal computation, and allows Blender to automatically choose between
face, vertex, and face corner normals based on the sharp edge and face
attributes.
Versioning adds a geometry node group to objects with meshes that had
auto-smooth enabled. The modifier can be applied, which also improves
performance.
Auto smooth is now unnecessary to get a combination of sharp and smooth
edges. In general workflows are changed a bit. Separate procedural and
destructive workflows are available. Custom normals can be used
immediately without turning on the removed auto smooth option.
**Procedural**
The node group asset "Smooth by Angle" is the main way to set sharp
normals based on the edge angle. It can be accessed directly in the add
modifier menu. Of course the modifier can be reordered, muted, or
applied like any other, or changed internally like any geometry nodes
modifier.
**Destructive**
Often the sharp edges don't need to be dynamic. This can give better
performance since edge angles don't need to be recalculated. In edit
mode the two operators "Select Sharp Edges" and "Mark Sharp" can be
used. In other modes, the "Shade Smooth by Angle" controls the edge
sharpness directly.
### Breaking API Changes
- `use_auto_smooth` is removed. Face corner normals are now used
automatically if there are mixed smooth vs. not smooth tags. Meshes
now always use custom normals if they exist.
- In Cycles, the lack of the separate auto smooth state makes normals look
triangulated when all faces are shaded smooth.
- `auto_smooth_angle` is removed. Replaced by a modifier (or operator)
controlling the sharp edge attribute. This means the mesh itself
(without an object) doesn't know anything about automatically smoothing
by angle anymore.
- `create_normals_split`, `calc_normals_split`, and `free_normals_split`
are removed, and are replaced by the simpler `Mesh.corner_normals`
collection property. Since it gives access to the normals cache, it
is automatically updated when relevant data changes.
Addons are updated here: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender-addons/pulls/104609
### Tests
- `geo_node_curves_test_deform_curves_on_surface` has slightly different
results because face corner normals are used instead of interpolated
vertex normals.
- `bf_wavefront_obj_tests` has different export results for one file
which mixed sharp and smooth faces without turning on auto smooth.
- `cycles_mesh_cpu` has one object which is completely flat shaded.
Previously every edge was split before rendering, now it looks triangulated.

Change the existing "Is Shade Smooth" node to be named "Is Face Smooth"
and add a new "Is Edge Smooth" node. Also give the "Set Shade Smooth"
node the ability to set face or edge smoothness.
The fact that the nodes process "smooth" data reversed from the builtin
"sharp" attributes can be reversed with versioning in a separate commit.
While it's tempting to abstract the sharpness status into a single node,
face and edge smoothness are accessed separately in edit mode, and the
subtlety of interacting with data on different domains would make that
confusing. Instead, a separate "Is Shade Smooth" node group asset will
give all the sharp elements taking into account both builtin attributes.
The fact that sharpness is stored separately on two domains makes the
best design for simple operations non-obvious. For example, you should be
able to remove all sharpness or make everything flat with a single node.
The behavior depends on whether the two attributes exist and the
combination of values between the domains.

Part of #91973
Moving the snapping code for the
* Graph Editor
* Action Editor
* and NLA editor
into the common system that lives on the scene.
This includes the Magnet icon for turning
snapping on and off.
The old settings translate to the new in the following way:
* `Frame Step` -> `Frame`
* `Second Step` -> `Second`
* `Nearest Frame` -> `Frame` + `Absolute Time Snap`
* `Nearest Second` -> `Second` + `Absolute Time Snap`
* `Nearest Marker` -> `Nearest Marker`
Since this moves the location of the snapping settings
from the editor to the scene, it changes the behavior.
Previously each editor could have different snapping
settings, where now they are all synced.

The sound equalizer is using the Audaspace FFT Convolver.
The blender part creates an array of descriptions of power per "band"
and orders the creation of Equalizer (ISound) in the Audaspace.
Modifier can be created on sound strips. It lets you define
amplification or attenuation over frequency range from 30Hz to 20 kHz.
The power is limited to -30 db - 30 db. This is done using curve
mapping widget.

This was noted in code comments and checked in Python documentation
generation but not at build time.
Since these enums are identifiers that end up included in various places

Part 2/3 of #109135, #110272
Defines the RNA API for the new node tree interfaces.
The bulk of the RNA definition lives in `rna_node_tree_interface.cc`. The legacy socket interfaces remain in place and will be removed later.
Since the socket items share the `bNodeSocketValueXXX` structs with the `bNodeSocket` types they also use the same RNA. The `rna_def_node_socket_interface_subtypes` function is exposed so that when defining the interface RNA it can use the same code as the regular socket RNA.

This commit allows both `rna_enum_` and `rna_node_`to be used for enum prefixes
This also fixes one enum by adding `rna_` to the prefix.
Together these changes fix the API documentation generation.
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
