First, there can only be one crease layer, so remove the "default name",
since apparently that's how CustomData tests for that
(see `CustomData_layertype_is_singleton`).
Second, always propagate crease data because it can be used in arbitrary
situations by geometry nodes. That also has to be done for all generic
attribute layers.

In heavy scenes containing many hairs/curves and volumetrics
using SSBO can overwrite the binding information of the volumetric
resolve shader. This has been detected during project Heist and is
only reproducable on NVIDIA platform.
This patch adds an debug option to disable SSBOs from the command
line to replace the --debug-gpu-force-workarounds that has been
used as a workaround on the render farm. Reason is that
force workarounds will also add other limitations as well (number
of texture binds for example)
When adapting the domain of a single value virtual array, skip
allocating an array for the result and just return another single
value. Among other cases, this can help when everything is selected
in sculpt mode, moving domain interpolation from 5% of perf samples
to 0% when sculpting.
Correction of U.dpi to hold actual monitor DPI. Simplify font sizing by

This patch replaces the existing transfer attribute node with three
nodes, "Sample Nearest Surface", "Sample Index", and "Sample Nearest".
This follows the design in T100010, allowing for new nodes like UV
sampling in the future. There is versioning so the new nodes replace
the old ones and are relinked as necessary.
The "Sample Nearest Surface" node is meant for the more complex
sampling algorithms that only work on meshes and interpolate
values inside of faces.
The new "Sample Index" just retrieves attributes from a geometry at
specific indices. It doesn't have implicit behavior like the old
transfer mode, which should make it more predictable. In order to not
change the behavior from existing files, the node has a has a "Clamp",
which is off by default for consistency with the "Field at Index" node.
The "Sample Nearest" node returns the index of the nearest element
on a geometry. It can be combined with the "Sample Index" node for
the same functionality as the old transfer node. This node can support
curves in the future.
Backwards compatibility is handled by versioning, but old versions can
not understand these nodes. The warning from 680fa8a523 should make
this explicit in 3.3 and earlier.

The C++ vertex group data accessor returned a span with null data that
wasn't empty. Instead of adding a null check as well as the size check,
just return an empty span when there is no vertex group data.
Using the attribute name semantics from T97452, this patch moves the
selection status of mesh elements from the `SELECT` of vertices, and
edges, and the `ME_FACE_SEL` of faces to generic boolean attribute
Storing this data as generic attributes can significantly simplify and
improve code, as described in T95965.
The attributes are called `.select_vert`, `.select_edge`, and
`.select_poly`. The `.` prefix means they are "UI attributes",so they
still contain original data edited by users, but they aren't meant to
be accessed procedurally by the user in arbitrary situations. They are
also be hidden in the spreadsheet and the attribute list.
Until 4.0, the attributes are still written to and read from the mesh
in the old way, so neither forward nor backward compatibility are
affected. This means memory requirements will be increased by one byte
per element when selection is used. When the flags are removed
completely, requirements will decrease.
Further notes:
* The `MVert` flag is empty at runtime now, so it can be ignored.
* `BMesh` is unchanged, otherwise the change would be much larger.
* Many tests have slightly different results, since the selection
attribute uses more generic propagation. Previously you couldn't
really rely on edit mode selections being propagated procedurally.
Now it mostly works as expected.

This is very similar to D14077. There are two differences though.
First is that vertex creases are already stored in a separate layer,
and second is that we can now completely remove use of `Mesh.cd_flag`,
since that information is now inherent to whether the layers exist.
There are two functional differences here:
* Operators are used to add and remove layers instead of a property.
* The "crease" attribute can be created and removed by geometry nodes.
The second change should make various geometry nodes slightly faster,
since the "crease" attribute was always processed before. Creases are
now interpolated generically in the CustomData API too, which should
help maintain the values across edits better.
Meshes get an `edge_creases` RNA property like the existing vertex
property, to provide more efficient access to the data in Cycles.
One test failure is expected, where different rounding between float
the old char storage means that 5 additional points are scattered in
a geometry nodes test.

The mesh's triangulation cache is often created for other operations
besides the drawing code, but during the mesh draw cache extraction
it is recalculated on every single time. It is simpler and faster to use
the existing MLoopTri array. It can also save memory if the cache
already exists by avoiding allocating a duplicate array. For a 4 million
face quad mesh, that is already 128 MB.
Also use face normals for mesh triangulation if they aren't dirty,
which should provide a general speedup when they're both necessary.
Recently 54182e4925 made this more reliable, since the triangulation
cache is invalidated properly when the mesh is deformed.

Similar to the other refactors from T95965, this commit moves sculpt
face sets to use a generic integer attribute named `".sculpt_face_set"`.
This makes face sets accessible in the Python API.
The attribute is not visible in the attributes list or the spreadsheet
because it is meant for internal use, though that could be an option
in the future along with other similar attributes. Currently the change
is small, but in the future this could simplify code by allowing use
of more generic attribute APIs.

Whenever animation on nodes was transfered to/from nodegroups (grouping/
ungrouping/separating) via BKE_animdata_transfer_by_basepath, it was
possible to create new nodes with the same name (in the formerly same
path -- see report for an example of this) and animation from the
original node was still performed on them. Issue went away after save/
reload.
In order to fully update the action, a depsgraph is now performed on the
action (similar to what is done when renaming for example).

From the nodes' description: "Retrieve the object that contains
the geometry nodes modifier currently being executed". This was
discussed in the most recent geometry nodes module meeting.
Because the node allows you to retrieve the position of the modifier
object, it has to add a depsgraph relation to object transform.
Expect that modifiers will be reevaluated when moving the object.
In the future, better static analysis of node trees could make this
check smarter.

The typed "lookup_or_add_for_write_only" function is meant to do the
same thing as the non-typed version of the function. Instead, it still
initialized values of new attribute arrays, which isn't meant to happen.
Missed in 4c91c24bc7.
I also had to correct one place that used the "write_only"
function but didn't intialize all values.
I didn't observe this issue in practice, but since the write_only
version of the attribute API isn't meant to initialize trivial types,
theoretically this could be a problem if the attribute is created
halfway through converting the BMesh to a Mesh.
05952aa94d modified this area incorrectly, transforming
vertices outside of the mesh. That would have been fine, but the mesh
is used to retrieve the bounding box. Instead just avoid duplicating the
positions and normals completely, and avoid using referenced layers
just to be extra safe.
Currently the rake rotation is calculated when the angle mode is set. Even when the texture isn't valid.
This change will only calculate the rake rotation when the texture is valid and the angle mode is set.
Currently node group assets are supported, but using them by dragging
from the asset browser is cumbersome. This patch adds all node group
assets from user asset libraries and the current file libraries to the
add node search menu and the link drag search menu.
Node groups added through the search will have their "options" hidden,
meaning the data-block selector is displayed. This helps keep the UI
clean, and the selector shouldn't be necessary anyway.
To make that possible, metadata like the node tree type and its inputs
and outputs has to be saved in the file. This requires re-saving the
files that contain the assets with the patch applied.
The node add search operator is moved from Python to C++ to ease
development and allow more flexibility. It supports a tooltip that
gives the description of assets.
Currently the node groups are added with the asset system's existing
"Append & Reuse" behavior. It's likely that linking should be possible
in the future too, but for now the idea is to use the more foolproof
option that doesn't create dependencies between files.
Because loading assets can potentially take a long time, the search
menu refreshes its items as new assets are loaded. However, changing
the search field is necessary to see the update.

This commit adds a node to distribute points inside of volume grids.
The "Random" mode usese OpenVDB's "point scatter" implementation, and
there is also a "Grid" mode for uniform distributions. Both methods
operate on all of the float grids in the volume, using every voxel with
a value higher than the threshold. The random method is not stable as
the input volume deforms.
