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.
Tests should never depend on the users startup.blend which can have
settings that interfere with tests.
Failure to load the user startup.blend for e.g. prevented
bl_alembic_io_test from passing.
Ideally, we would also get variance information out of the test, but that
seems a bit more complex to implement. For now just run the test a couple
of times and average the timings.
The test now runs between 5 and 100 times, depending on how long it
to run the test once.
Add a script for a very simple object evaluation benchmark.
There could be more advanced ways of measuring the time
per-node or per modifier, but this just loads the file, tags
the active object for a reevaluation, and times how long
that takes.

This commit adds the ability to test Eevee viewport playback performance tests.
Tests should be placed in `lib/benchmarks/eevee/*/*.blend`. {rBL62962} added
initial test files. See https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Tools/Tests/Performance how
to set it up.
To record the playback performance the test start the viewport playback, and adds
a post frame change handler.
This handler will go over the next steps:
* Ensures the viewport is set to rendered mode.
* Wait for shaders to be compiled. Utilizes `bpy.app.is_job_running` function when
available (v3.3) to wait for shader compilation to finish. When not available will wait
for one minute.
* Draw several warmup frames
* Record for 10 seconds tracking the number of frames drawn and performance counters.
* When ready print the result to the console. The results will be extracted when the
benchmark has run.

This includes much improved GPU rendering performance, viewport interactivity,
new shadow catcher, revamped sampling settings, subsurface scattering anisotropy,
new GPU volume sampling, improved PMJ sampling pattern, and more.
Some features have also been removed or changed, breaking backwards compatibility.
Including the removal of the OpenCL backend, for which alternatives are under
development.

The general graphing mechanism will create one graph for each output
variable. So it's not limited to time and memory, but that is what the
Cycles tests now output.
These are scripts for benchmarking Blender features on real-world .blend
files. They were originally written for benchmarking Cycles performance, and
were made generic so they can be used for more Blender features.
The benchmarks can be run locally by developers. But the plan is to also run
these as part of continuous integration to track performance over time.
Currently there are tests for Cycles rendering and .blend file loading.

Main features:
* User created configurations to quickly run, re-run and analyze a selected
subset of tests.
* Supports both benchmarking with existing builds, and automatic building of
specified git commits, tags and branches.
* Generate HTML page with bar and line graphs from test results.
* Controlled using simple command line tool.
* For writing tests, convenient abstraction to run a Python function in Blender
with arguments and return value.
