The issue was that the offset would offset by a different
amount depending on the scale property.
This is a regression from the legacy behavior,
and also harder to control in general.
The versioning code only touches FCurves that are not marked
as "legacy" because the legacy noise didn't have that issue.

The main issue of 'type-less' standard C allocations is that there is no check on
allocated type possible.
This is a serious source of annoyance (and crashes) when making some
low-level structs non-trivial, as tracking down all usages of these
structs in higher-level other structs and their allocation is... really
painful.
MEM_[cm]allocN<T> templates on the other hand do check that the
given type is trivial, at build time (static assert), which makes such issue...
trivial to catch.
NOTE: New code should strive to use MEM_new (i.e. allocation and
construction) as much as possible, even for trivial PoD types.

This patch adds an option to use the new perlin noise as a noise function for the FCurve modifier.
That fixes the issue of the old noise function which could produce values outside the -0.5/0.5 range (For a strength of 1).
The old way is still preserved and will be automatically used for old files.
Because of the different noise function, I've added two more parameters to the noise modifier.
The default values for those parameters are chosen to be as close to the original noise modifier as possible.
However the match is not 1:1
## Depth
With the new noise, the parameters for "Lacunarity" and "Roughness" are available to the user.
By default they are set in such a way that changing the "Depth" results in a similar noise pattern.
## Offset and Scale
The offset and scale parameters now behave differently. Before they would also shift the phase in some way, now all they do is shift or scale the noise.
## Amplitude
The biggest difference is in the amplitude of the noise.
Overall the amplitude is a lot smaller in general than with the legacy noise, but it does fix the issue of the amplitude reaching outside the -0.5/0.5 range.
By shifting the phase I was able to find points where the amplitude reaches 0.5 but never above that.

Remove all traces in the source code of the never-properly-implemented
'Python' F-Curve modifier type. It was introduced in 44e5b7788b.
This modifier was never coded to completion, couldn't be created, didn't
have a GUI, and probably would have caused severe performance issues if
it were ever implemented.
Not only that, but the modifier had space for custom properties
(IDProperties), which means that it could point to any ID. This in turn
means that `bke::action_foreach_id()` would have to loop over every
F-Curve and every F-Curve modifier to handle such relations. By removing
this modifier type, that loop can also be removed from that function.
Note that F-Curves can only refer to other IDs when they are used as a
driver. However, the F-Curves stored in an Action as animation data are
never drivers.
`BKE_fcurve_foreach_id()` is now only relevant when the F-Curve is a
driver, which I've added to its documentation.
The enum entry `FMODIFIER_TYPE_FILTER` in `DNA_anim_types.h` is kept, so
that it's clear that this once existed (which explains what would
otherwise be a hole in the values of the enum entries).
No functional changes should be observable by Blender users, as this
feature doesn't seem to have ever existed in a way that could be used.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/123906
Instead of using hard-coded array indices that happen to match the
`FMODIFIER_TYPE_...` enum values, actually use the enum items.
Also add some assertions that those indices actually match the type
numbers declared by the `FModifierTypeInfo` structs.
To avoid rewrapping long lines, remove comments that basically repeat
the code anyway.
No functional changes.

The issue was a floating point precision issue
between the number of the cycle and the time
within the cycle (`cycle` and `cyct`).
Due to that the `cycle` would advance to the
next whole number while the `cycle time`
is still slightly under that.
This is fixed by calculating the `cycle` with double precision.
This has a measurable performance
impact (for `fcm_cycles_time`)

| 39ns | 44ns |
For fcurves with a cycle modifier,
this code is run at every evaluate call.
The only time when that would be an issue is
in the graph editor, where there is an evaluate
call for roughly every pixel for curves that have a modifier.
However even in that scenario the performance
is the same within run to run variance (for `graph_draw_curves`)

Extract
- Add to Quick Favorites tooltip.
- "Mask", the name of a newly created mask (DATA_).
- "New" in the context of the new mask ID button.
- A few strings using BLI_STR_UTF8_ defines were not extracted.
Take the special characters out of the translation macros.
- "External" menu items from the filebrowser's Files context
menu (right-click on a file). These items were already extracted,
but not translated.
Improve
- Separate formatted error message "%s is not compatible with
["the specified", "any"] 'refresh' options" into two messages.
Disambiguate
- Use Action context for new F-modifiers' names. This is already used
for the "type" operator prop.
- Translate ImportHelper's default confirmation text using the
Operator context, as it uses the operator name which is extracted
with this context.
- "Scale" can be a noun, the scale of something, or a verb, to scale
something. The latter mostly uses the Operator context, so apply
this context to verbs, and the default contexts to nouns.
- "Scale Influence" can mean "Influence on Scale" (tracking
stabilization) and "to Scale the Influence" (dynamic paint canvas).
- "Object Line Art" as type of Line Art to add, as opposed to the
active object's Line Art settings.
- Float to Integer node: use NodeTree context for the node label, as
this is already extracted and used for the enum.
Do not translate
- Sequencer labels containing only a string formatting field.
Some issues reported by Gabriel Gazzán and Ye Gui.

This required making a whole bunch of other functions in the call chain
take const parameters as well. It also required changing some function
pointers in some types to take const parameters, which in turn required
changing all the functions that are pointed to by those function
pointers to take const parameters as well.
Additionally, there was one mutable usage of the `FModifier *` parameter
in `fcm_cycles_time()` that had to be removed to make the call chain
const. However, this turned out to be a code path that shouldn't be
reachable, and would represent a bug elsewhere. So it was changed to
an assert.
All in all, the non-constness was deep and tangled.
There's still a lot more that we can make const, but I wanted to keep
this change as narrow and focused as possible.
Along with the 4.1 libraries upgrade, we are bumping the clang-format
version from 8-12 to 17. This affects quite a few files.
If not already the case, you may consider pointing your IDE to the
clang-format binary bundled with the Blender precompiled libraries.
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.
Using ClangBuildAnalyzer on the whole Blender build, it was pointing
out that BLI_math.h is the heaviest "header hub" (i.e. non tiny file
that is included a lot).
However, there's very little (actually zero) source files in Blender
that need "all the math" (base, colors, vectors, matrices,
quaternions, intersection, interpolation, statistics, solvers and
time). A common use case is source files needing just vectors, or
just vectors & matrices, or just colors etc. Actually, 181 files
were including the whole math thing without needing it at all.
This change removes BLI_math.h completely, and instead in all the
places that need it, includes BLI_math_vector.h or BLI_math_color.h
and so on.
Change from that:
- BLI_math_color.h was included 1399 times -> now 408 (took 114.0sec
to parse -> now 36.3sec)
- BLI_simd.h 1403 -> 418 (109.7sec -> 34.9sec).
Full rebuild of Blender (Apple M1, Xcode, RelWithDebInfo) is not
affected much (342sec -> 334sec). Most of benefit would be when
someone's changing BLI_simd.h or BLI_math_color.h or similar files,
that now there's 3x fewer files result in a recompile.
Pull Request #110944
Also see #103343.
Couldn't move two files yet:
* `softbody.c`: The corresponding regression test fails. It seems like the
conversion to C++ changes floating point accuracy, but it's not clear where that happens exactly.
* `writeffmpeg.c`: Is a bit more complex to convert because of the static array in `av_err2str`.
