`ob->runtime.geometry_set_eval` can contain instances as well.
This only affected instances generated by geometry nodes.
We should probably have a separate function that tells us if an object
has instances or not..
This introduces a context path to the spreadsheet editor, which contains
information about what data is shown in the spreadsheet. The context
path (breadcrumbs) can reference a specific node in a node group
hierarchy. During object evaluation, the geometry nodes modifier checks
what data is currently requested by visible spreadsheets and stores
the corresponding geometry sets separately for later access.
The context path can be updated by the user explicitely, by clicking
on the new icon in the header of nodes. Under some circumstances,
the context path is updated automatically based on Blender's context.
This patch also consolidates the "Node" and "Final" object evaluation
mode to just "Evaluated". Based on the current context path, either
the final geometry set of an object will be displayed, or the data at
a specific node.
The new preview icon in geometry nodes now behaves more like
a toggle. It can be clicked again to clear the context path in an
open spreadsheet editor.
Previously, only an object could be pinned in the spreadsheet editor.
Now it is possible to pin the entire context path. That allows two
different spreadsheets to display geometry data from two different
nodes.
The breadcrumbs in the spreadsheet header can be collapsed by
clicking on the arrow icons. It's not ideal but works well for now.
This might be changed again, if we get a data set region on the left.

Previously, the spreadsheet editor could only show data of the original
and of the final evaluated object. Now it is possible to show the data
at some intermediate stages too.
For that the mode has to be set to "Node" in the spreadsheet editor.
Furthermore, the preview of a specific node has to be activated by
clicking the new icon in the header of geometry nodes.
The exact ui of this feature might be refined in upcoming commits.
It is already very useful for debugging node groups in it's current
state though.

The issue was that where_on_path uses a resampled curve to get the data
from the curve. This leads to disconnects between the curve the user
sees and the evaluated location data.
To fix this we simply use the actual curve data the user can see.
The older code needed a cleanup either way as there were hacks in other
parts of the code trying to work around some brokenness. This is now
fixed and we no longer need to clamp the evaluation range to 0-1 or make
helper functions to make it do what we actually want.

in commit rBf4140f2c8138.
The code was so for 3 years, so it is safer to assume that this is
the new expected design. The affected codepath only comes from the
BKE_object_modifier_update_subframe() which is discouraged from use

Eventually those offending codepaths will be removed completely.
The grade-schema for now is more localized: remove ID_RECALC_ALL

NOTE: While it could also have it, shapekeys IDTypeInfo was left out of

This patch adds a to_curve method to the Object ID. This method is
analogous to the to_mesh method. The method can operate on curve and
text objects. For text objects, the text is converted into a 3D Curve ID
and that curve is returned. For curve objects, if apply_modifiers is
true, the spline deform modifiers will be applied and a Curve ID with
the result will be returned, otherwise a copy of the curve will be
returned.
The goal of this addition is to allow the developer to access the splines
of text objects and to get the result of modifier applications which was
otherwise not possible.

Currently this is needed to properly tag PointCache's for info update

Suspect we may need this in more cases in the future though, RNA
assign/update processes are not always 100% enough to deal with
complicated corner cases.
Things like pointers to particle systems, or softbody data being stored
outside of its modifier, make it impossible for internal modifier copy

In existing code this was handled in several different places, in
several ways, and alltogether fairly inconsistently. Some cases were
even not properly handled, causing e.g. crashes as in T82945.
This commit addresses those issues by:
* Adding comments about the hackish/unsafe parts `psys` implies when
copying some modifier data (since we need to ensure particle system
copying and remapping of those pointers separately).
* Adding as-best-as-possible handling of those cases to
`BKE_object_copy_modifier` (note that it remains fragile, but is
expected to behave 'good enough' in any practical usecase).
* Remove special handling for specific editor code
(`copy_or_reuse_particle_system`). This should never have been
accepted in ED code area, and is now handled by
`BKE_object_copy_modifier`.
* Factorize copying of the whole modifier stack into new
`BKE_object_modifier_stack_copy`, now used by both `object_copy_data`
and `BKE_object_link_modifiers`.
Note that this implies that `BKE_object_copy_modifier` and
`BKE_object_copy_gpencil_modifier` are now to be used exclusively to
copy single modifiers. Full modifier stack copy should always use
`BKE_object_modifier_stack_copy` instead.

These two operators (one for grease pencil, one for other objects)
copy a single modifier from the active object to all selected objects.
The operators are exposed in the dropdown menus in modifier headers.
Note that It's currently possible to drag and drop modifiers between
objects in the outliner, but that only works for dragging to one object
at a time. Modifiers can also be copied with the "Make Links" operator,
but that copies *all* modifiers rather than just one. The placement
and scope of these new operators allow for more useful poll messages
and error messages as well.
Every object type that supports modifiers is supported. Although hook
and collision modifiers aren't supported because of an unexplained
comment in `BKE_object_copy_modifier`, other than that, every modifier
type is supported, including particle systems, nodes modifiers, etc.
The new modifiers are set active, which required two small tweaks to
`object.c` and `particle.c`.

Always assume geometry nodes produce potentially animated meshes or point
clouds. In general it is hard to check if geometry nodes are animated, and
for modifiers this was already weak.
The better solution will likely involving checking which geometry was
modified by the depsgraph on frame change, to replace the current mechanism
of manually checking for certain types of modifiers and animation.
Remove DNA headers, using forward declarations where possible.
Also removed duplicate header, header including it's self
and unnecessary inclusion of libc system headers from BKE header.
Object previews are really helpful for visual data-block selection, like asset
browsing. Having them be generative should also be quite handy and should work
well enough in many, if not most cases.
What this does is simple:
* Place the object (actually a deep copy of it, for thread safety) in a virtual
.blend into an empty scene/view-layer.
* Add a camera, point it towards the front of the object, assuming that means
pointing towards its +Y axis.
* Use "Camera Fit Frame to Selected" logic to put the object into frame.
* Create a threaded off-screen render.
Of course, such an automatic preview will not work in all situations. E.g. it
currently does a bad job capturing a single plane. We could add options for
more advanced automatic previews, but probably custom previews is more
important, which I committed already (812ea91842).

Since the initial merge of the geometry nodes project, the modifyPointCloud
function already was already modifying a geometry set. The function wasn't
renamed back then, because then the merge would have touched many
more files.
Ref T83357.
This commit adds functions to set and get the object's active
modifier, which is stored as a flag in the ModifierData struct,
similar to constraints. This will be used to set the context in
the node editor. There are no visible changes in this commit.
Similar to how the node editor context works for materials, this commit
makes the node group displayed in the node editor depend on the active
object and its active modifier. To keep the node group from changing,
just pin the node group in the header.
* Shortcuts performed while there is an active modifier will affect
only that modifier (the exception is the A to expand the modifiers).
* Clicking anywhere on the empty space in a modifier's panel will make it active.
These changes require some refactoring of object modifier code. First
is splitting up the modifier property invoke callback, which now needs
to be able to get the active modifier separately from the hovered
modifier for the different operators.
Second is a change to removing modifiers, where there is now a separate
function to remove a modifier from an object's list, in order to handle
changing the active.
Finally, the panel handler needs a small tweak so that this "click in panel"
event can be handled afterwards.
This is the initial merge from the geometry-nodes branch.

* Attribute Math
* Boolean
* Edge Split
* Float Compare
* Object Info
* Point Distribute
* Point Instance
* Random Attribute
* Random Float
* Subdivision Surface
* Transform

Notes on the Generic attribute access API
The API adds an indirection for attribute access. That has the following benefits:
* Most code does not have to care about how an attribute is stored internally.
This is mainly necessary, because we have to deal with "legacy" attributes
such as vertex weights and attributes that are embedded into other structs
such as vertex positions.
* When reading from an attribute, we generally don't care what domain the
attribute is stored on. So we want to abstract away the interpolation that
that adapts attributes from one domain to another domain (this is not
actually implemented yet).
Other possible improvements for later iterations include:
* Actually implement interpolation between domains.
* Don't use inheritance for the different attribute types. A single class for read
access and one for write access might be enough, because we know all the ways
in which attributes are stored internally. We don't want more different internal
structures in the future. On the contrary, ideally we can consolidate the different
storage formats in the future to reduce the need for this indirection.
* Remove the need for heap allocations when creating attribute accessors.

Avoid the evaluation of constraints when computing the parent-inverse
matrix.
Constraints are meant to be evaluated last; object transforms are
computed this order:
1. `parent->obmat` (the parent object's world matrix)
2. `ob->parentinv` (the object's parent-inverse matrix)
3. Object's loc/rot/scale
4. Object's constraint evaluation
When the constraints are used to compute the parent-inverse matrix,
their effect is moved from step 4 to step 2 in this list, potentially
rotating or scaling the object's local transform. This causes unwanted
movement as reported in T82156.

Root of the issue is that point caches are added to the object's list
on-demand, which often ends up with them being added only during
depsgraph evaluation, i.e. on COW objects.
This could result in having 'orig' data caches with invalid/unset stack
index at some points (e.g. when reading a file and applying
liboverrides), leading to discarding valid existing disk cache files.
Fact that one of those index is signed, and the other not, does not
help...
While this is very weak, fixing broken PointCache code is out of the
scope of a bug fix, so this patch merely:
* Simplifies and factorizes the code generating the 'extension' part of
caches filenames;
* Ensures `BKE_object_insert_ptcache` is called when needed so that we
always have a valid stack index to generate that filename extension.
This is only a bandaid, but it is simple and should be safe enough for
now.

This is essentially adding that new callback, and using it only for already
existing Scene's 3DCursor.
Note that the place where this is called has been moved again, after all

Better use higher-level code from common ID management when possible.
Helps to de-duplicate logic, and reduces outside usages of more

Note that we could get rid of many of those `BKE_<id_type>_add`

parameters and perform additional actions, so think we can keep them all
for now as 'non-standard ID specific creation functions'.
Those were only shallow wrappers around `BKE_id_copy`, barely used (even
fully unused in some cases), and we want to get rid of those ID-specific
helpers for the common ID management tasks. Also prevents weird custom
behaviors (like `BKE_object_copy`, who was the only basic ID copy

Just converts verts to points and vice versa.
Materials and Attribute layers are preserved (so for example if you set
custom radii on the pointcloud, convert to mesh, then convert back to
pointcloud, this will be preserved).

filled when adding a pointcloud object from the menu), a global Radius
property that will be used if there is no radius attribute can be added
later. A Radius attribute can also be added in the pointcloud data
properties (and filled via python).
This will also add a new utility function that copies materials between
