Previously, one could easily "loose" baked data by undoing. The data was not
actually deleted, but Blender didn't find it anymore. This happened because
`update_existing_bake_caches` was expected to be called after changes to
`NodesModifierData.bakes`. However, this was not called after undo.
It was also not possible to call this function from `blend_read`, because it
required access to the referenced node tree.
Now, the bake cache is lazily created during depsgraph evaluation, which
partially solves the problem. It can still seem that Blender lost data, but that
fixes itself much more quickly after the next evaluation. The remaining issue
should be solved a future patch that keeps the bake cache intact over undo
steps using `foreach_cache`.
This adds the "Catmull-Clark" option to the subdivide modifier.
Since this option is creating 2^n segments, the "Simple" method was adjusted to do the same.
This is now consistent with the old GPv2 modifier.

Smooth modifier ported to Grease Pencil 3.0
Exposed `smooth_curve_attribute()` from `grease_pencil_edit.cc`
to achieve the smoothing effect. It will not be the exact same result
as the old algorithm.

`UUID` generally stands for "universally unique identifier". The session identifier that
we use is neither universally unique, nor does it follow the standard. Therefor, the term
"session uuid" is confusing and should be replaced.
In #116888 we briefly talked about a better name and ended up with "session uid".
The reason for "uid" instead of "id" is that the latter is a very overloaded term in Blender
already.
This patch changes all uses of "uuid" to "uid" where it's used in the context of a
"session uid". It's not always trivial to see whether a specific mention of "uuid" refers
to an actual uuid or something else. Therefore, I might have missed some renames.
I can't think of an automated way to differentiate the case.
BMesh also uses the term "uuid" sometimes in a the wrong context (e.g. `UUIDFaceStepItem`)
but there it also does not mean "session uid", so it's *not* changed by this patch.

The term `PIL` stands for "platform independent library." It exists since the `Initial Revision`
commit from 2002. Nowadays, we generally just use the `BLI` (blenlib) prefix for such code
and the `PIL` prefix feels more confusing then useful. Therefore, this patch renames the
`PIL` to `BLI`.

This allows modifiers to have cache pointers that are preserved over undo steps.
I intend to use this for the baked data cache for the geometry nodes modifier.

The function for retrieving a shape key by its index is named
somewhat confusingly, and effectively reimplements BLI_findlink.
However, more importantly, for some reason it is coded to return
null for the index 0 instead of the basis shape key. This severely
limits its usability in some cases.
This refactor replaces the function with a simple strongly typed
wrapper around BLI_findlink, using a different name, and updating
the call sites to check that the index is not 0 where necessary.
The goal is to simplify the interface of the geometry nodes modifier while also
making it more scalable. This allows creating better looking modifiers which
feel more built-in. No functionality is removed by this patch.
The following changes are done:
* The `Output Attributes` panel is hidden when there are no output attributes.
* The `Internal Dependencies` panel is replaced by a new `Manage` panel that
contains all the stuff that is common to all geometry nodes modifiers. It
contains new `Bake` and `Named Attributes` panels for now.
Potential next steps:
* Merge `Output Attributes` panel with the rest of the input list.
* Support hiding the `Manage` panel under some circumstances.

Opacity modifier implementation based on GP2.
Functionality is largely unchanged.
_Color Mode_ is either `Stroke` or `Fill` for modifying color opacity or
`Hardness`.
_Uniform Opacity_ does two things at once (!):
- Sets the same opacity value for every point in a stroke.
- Sets opacity as an absolute value rather than a factor.
_Weight as Factor_ (button to the right of Opacity Factor): Use the
vertex group as opacity __factor__ rather than an overall __influence__.
This is confusing and hard to convey, but copies behavior from GP2.
The _Influence_ panel contains the same filter settings as the GP2
modifier, with some small changes:
- _Layer_ selects only strokes in the respective layer (with an _Invert_
option)
- _Material_ selects only points with the respective material (with an
_Invert_ option)
- _Layer Pass_ and _Material Pass_ select only strokes/points which are
rendered in the respective pass.
_Note 1: Layers don't have UI for setting a pass yet, this will be a
generic layer attribute. This can be set through the API for testing._
_Note 2: In GP2 a pass value of zero was used to disable pass filters.
Since zero is a valid pass ID an explicit flag has been added for the
purpose of turning pass filters on and off._
- _Vertex Group_: This can be used as an additional influence filter on
points. If _Weight as Factor_ is enable the vertex group instead
replaces the opacity factor. In _Fill_ mode the vertex group weight of
the stroke's first point is used as influence for the entire stroke.
- _Custom Curve_ is another possible influence factor per point. The
curve input value is the relative position of a point along its
stroke.
The Influence settings have been moved into a separate DNA struct, which
should help with reusability in various modifiers. Various utility
functions can be found int `MOD_grease_pencil_util.hh` for handling
influence settings and generating `IndexMasks` for modernized C++ code.

The previous commit introduced a new `RPT_()` macro to translate
strings which are not tooltips or regular interface elements, but
longer reports or statuses.
This commit uses the new macro to translate many strings all over the
UI.
Most of it is a simple replace from `TIP_()` or `IFACE_()` to
`RPT_()`, but there are some additional changes:
- A few translations inside `BKE_report()` are removed altogether
because they are already handled by the translation system.
- Messages inside `UI_but_disable()` are no longer translated
manually, but they are handled by a new regex in the translation
system.

There was one functional issue with the previous API which was its
use in `VolumeGrid<T>::grid_for_write(tree_token)`. The issue was
that the tree token had to be received before the grid is accessed.
However, this `grid_for_write` method might create a copy of the
`VolumeGridData` internally and if it does, the passed in `tree_token`
corresponds to the wrong tree.
The solution is to output the token as part of the method. This has two
additional benefits:
* The API is more safe, because one can't pass an r-value into the methods
anymore. This generally shouldn't be done, because the token should
live at least as long as the OpenVDB tree is used and shouldn't be freed
immediatly.
* The API is a bit simpler, because it's not necessary to call the
`VolumeGrid.tree_access_token()` method anymore.
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.

If the attribute creation failed, the modifier would try to fill in a
null UV map. The combination of CustomData and attribute API functions
was a bit confusing, so restore the old behavior more explicitly using
just the attribute API (including the slightly weird "Float2" default
name. That could be changed later.)
Some common headers were including this. Separating the includes
will ideally lead to better conceptual separation between CustomData
and the attribute API too. Mostly the change is adding the file to
places where it was included indirectly before. But some code is
shuffled around to hopefully better places as well.
This builds on top of f824476bd5 to show
panels in the geometry nodes modifier. It also changes the two existing panels
to use the new layout panels.
The open-close state of the panels is stored in the modifier itself. It contains a
mapping from panel id to the corresponding state flag.
