Like other runtime structs, it doesn't make sense to write this
data to files. And moving it out of DNA to an allocated C++ struct
means we can use other C++ features in it, like the new Mutex
type which I switched to in this commit.

Followup to @e09ccc9b3599c134e/@2b2963e2903, would have prevented the
issue by asserting immediately on Blender startup.
Would love to find a more static way to check that (i.e. error at
compile time), but think it would require quite a few more changes.
The title is pretty self-explanatory: this change brings support of
displaying HDR content in the sequencer preview. Before this change
it was clamped to the 0..1 range, now it is unclamped sRGB, similar
to how image editor, viewport, and nodes backdrop works.
The general idea is to draw the sequencer content on a non-overlay
frame-buffer and tag viewport as having non-standard input color
space as the sequencer operates in a different space.
The way it is done mimics what happens from the draw manager side
for the nodes backdrop, but bypassing the image engine. Partially
because the image engine expects the Image data-block to be displayed,
but also because of performance: there are a lot of things going on
like float buffer creation, clamping etc. Overall the image engine is
not fast enough for the sequencer needs.
Code-side changes that worth mentioning to highlight the overall
direction for the possible future refactors in the area:
- Decouple arguments from the scene: editing, render data, color
management etc are now passed as individual arguments.
This is an anticipation of story tools project where this data
might be coming from a different place.
- Move the entire preview region drawing to sequencer_preview_draw.cc
Previously logic was split across sequencer_preview_draw.cc and
space_sequencer.cc which was quite tricky to know what should go
where.
- Split functions which had boolean argument to define their behavior
into individual functions.
Generally if a function has boolean argument used in a way
if(foo) { do_something_(); } else { do_something_else() }
it is a good indication that the function is to be split.

On Windows and Mac (and with certain backends on Linux), Blender would
always appear to be playing back audio even if there was no timeline
playback. This would sometimes prevent devices from going to sleep or
going into lower power state modes when idling.
For the affected audio backends, we now automatically close the audio
backend after 30 seconds of inactivity.

This patch adds a new `BLI_mutex.hh` header which adds `blender::Mutex` as alias
for either `tbb::mutex` or `std::mutex` depending on whether TBB is enabled.
Description copied from the patch:
```
/**
* blender::Mutex should be used as the default mutex in Blender. It implements a subset of the API
* of std::mutex but has overall better guaranteed properties. It can be used with RAII helpers
* like std::lock_guard. However, it is not compatible with e.g. std::condition_variable. So one
* still has to use std::mutex for that case.
*
* The mutex provided by TBB has these properties:
* - It's as fast as a spin-lock in the non-contended case, i.e. when no other thread is trying to
* lock the mutex at the same time.
* - In the contended case, it spins a couple of times but then blocks to avoid draining system
* resources by spinning for a long time.
* - It's only 1 byte large, compared to e.g. 40 bytes when using the std::mutex of GCC. This makes
* it more feasible to have many smaller mutexes which can improve scalability of algorithms
* compared to using fewer larger mutexes. Also it just reduces "memory slop" across Blender.
* - It is *not* a fair mutex, i.e. it's not guaranteed that a thread will ever be able to lock the
* mutex when there are always more than one threads that try to lock it. In the majority of
* cases, using a fair mutex just causes extra overhead without any benefit. std::mutex is not
* guaranteed to be fair either.
*/
```
The performance benchmark suggests that the impact is negilible in almost
all cases. The only benchmarks that show interesting behavior are the once
testing foreach zones in Geometry Nodes. These tests are explicitly testing
overhead, which I still have to reduce over time. So it's not unexpected that
changing the mutex has an impact there. What's interesting is that on macos the
performance improves a lot while on linux it gets worse. Since that overhead
should eventually be removed almost entirely, I don't really consider that
blocking.

Patch #137802 made VSE zoom levels constant when resizing the area,
choosing to also align the V2D to the left when horizontally resizing.
This had the added side-effect of causing zooming to be left-aligned. The
fix was attempted in #138041 (and subsequent commit 385a8a4d6a).
However, the versioning code to add the fix (`V2D_ZOOM_IGNORE_KEEPOFS` flag)
was included in the original versioning block instead of a new one. This
meant that newly saved files during the bug did not get the fix applied.
Fix by moving that flag application to a new versioning block.

OpenVDB has a voxel size limit defined by the determinant of the grid
transform, which is equivalent to a uniform voxel size of
`sqrt3(3e-15) ~= 1.44e-5`.
The `mesh_to_density_grid` function was using an arbitrary threshold of
`1.0e-5` for the uniform voxel size.
In this case the voxel size is `~1.343e-5` so it passes the Blender
threshold but crashes in OpenVDB.
This fix adds some convenience functions to check for valid grid voxel
size and transform based on the same determinant metric. This is now
employed consistently in the mesh_to_density_grid, mesh_to_sdf_grid, and
points_to_sdf_grid functions to avoid exceptions in OpenVDB.
MOD_volume_to_mesh, node_geo_volume_to_mesh, BKE_mesh_remesh_voxel have
not been modified, since they have their own error checks with larger
thresholds.

Previously, when the viewer node or node group name changes,
the change was not updated directly in the spreadsheet. It was
only updated later when the viewer path changed entirely.
This adds an Import VDB node. It loads all the grids from a .vdb file and hence
outputs a Volume geometry instead of an individual grid.
The grids are cached through the existing volume grid file cache, so they are
automatically deduplicated when volume grids are loaded from files in other
ways.

This adds a version of `BKE_id_new_nomain` that takes the ID type parameter as
template argument. This allows the function the return the newly created ID with
the correct type, removing the need to use `static_cast` on the call-site.
To make this work, I added a static `id_type` member to every ID struct. This
can also be used to create a similar API for other id management functions in
future patches.
```cpp
// Old
Mesh *mesh = static_cast<Mesh *>(BKE_id_new_nomain(ID_ME, "Mesh"));
// New
Mesh *mesh = BKE_id_new_nomain<Mesh>("Mesh");

This patch removes the Premultiplied option from the Alpha Over node.
The reasoning is as follows:
- The option mixed between alpha being straight and premultiplied, a
state which doesn't happen in practice.
- The option conflicts with the Convert Premultiplied option, if it is
not zero, then Convert Premultiplied does nothing.
- The option is implemented in a lossy way. It premultiplies the alpha
assuming it is straight, then converts the result to straight again,
then mixed between both results. This is as opposed to mixing the
original straight input with the premultiplied input. The successive
alpha conversion causes data loss in transparent regions.

This adds inital Grease Pencil support for node tools.
Node tools work in `Object Mode`, `Edit Mode`,`Sculpt Mode`,
and `Draw Mode`.
While Grease Pencil has many editing tools, including editing
multiple frames at the same time, for now, node tools only
allow editing the current frame.
Currently, the idea is that node tools can do arbitrary changes
to the drawings, but cannot do changes to the existing layer tree, e.g.
changing the order of layers, removing a layer or groups, etc.
All the node tool specific nodes like `Selection` and `Set Selection`
are adapted to work with Grease Pencil. In `Draw Mode`, we currently
interpret everything as selected.
The `Active Element` node has a `Layer` mode that provides the
index of the active layer (if there is one).
When `Auto-Key` is used, a new keyframe is created on the
current frame.
Locked/invisible layers cannot be edited with node tools.

This patch removes the Convert Premultiplied option from the Brightness
and Contrast node. The reasoning is that it is the only node that has
the option to operate on straight alpha, while not being particularly
different. Adding alpha conversion nodes around it is also very easy.
Furthermore, alpha conversion is a lossy operation, so the option looses
data in emissive pixels, and since it is enabled by default, users not
familiar with the exact mechanism of the option wouldn't know how to fix
this.

Previously to handle unevaluated objects in line art "load all"
iteration, a `include_objects` variable is added in depsgraph
iteration settings, and this was only processed by object iterator
but not for any of the dupli objects. Now `make_duplis_collection`
will also handle `include_objects`
The only case where this border case can lead to crash is that a
line art grease pencil object is inside one of the dupli collection,
which isn't a valid use in the first place. But this fix makes it
more robust.

Regression from 368c737fe7. Forgot to fully move to using
`BKE_id_new_nomain` at some point for default materials, instead
of doing more low-level set of 'alloc liblock, initialize it with
default values'.
Use the safer VArraySpan instead of get_internal_span(). And remove
the size check for the output data. If the callback inside `ensure` is
called it means that recomputing the data is necessary, regardless of
the array's current size.
* Remove `DEG_get_evaluated_object` in favor of `DEG_get_evaluated`.
* Remove `DEG_is_original_object` in favor of `DEG_is_original`.
* Remove `DEG_is_evaluated_object` in favor of `DEG_is_evaluated`.

These were handled mostly completely outside of IDManagement code, yet
(ab)using the same ID management system in some cases, adding hacks to
address some issues, etc.
Also address a similar issue in the eevee lookdev `LookdevWorld` code.
Since initializing pre-allocated (or static) buffers as valid IDs is not
currently supported, and these use-cases do not seem common enough to be
worth supporting it currently, instead switch to storing allocated IDs
into static pointers.
This allows to use proper 'out-of-main' ID creation code API.
NOTE: There are still some remaining issues, especially in the GP
material BKE api. These are noted in comments for now, as it would be
out of scope to address them in this commit.

This patch removes the Use Alpha option from Composite and Viewer nodes.
The reasoning for the removal is as follows:
- It has an unintuitive complicated design at the moment.
- If the Alpha Input is unlinked, the output alpha is not adjusted
even if Use Alpha is enabled, leaving users wondering why their
adjustments have no effect.
- Disabled Use Alpha means output an opaque image, that is, it
actually means Ignore Alpha. Which is confusing because users might
think that it controls alpha adjustments based on input.
- It always does alpha replacement without premultiplication, which is
not clear to the user and is not what the user wants in most cases.
- Adding a Set Alpha node before the output is pretty easy and clear, so
the option seems redundant considering the above.

The initial port [0] incorrectly use `sqrt` where `sqr` was used in the
original code. This mistake was made in two places but the second
causes a significant change in behavior, so this has been left as is
noting the difference in a comment.
Resolve the following issues:
- Use square instead of sqrt when calculating the peak value,
besides following the original implementation it avoids the result
being NAN when "Fetch" is below 30.
- Pass in `sqrt(m_omega)` matching the `omega` argument to
`alpha_beta_spectrum` as well as following the upstream code.
In most cases the user visible changes are subtle.

There were actually two issues here:
1. The dimension reported for armatures were often wildly incorrect,
including negative values and zero!
2. The dimensions reported for objects are supposed to be invariant with
rotation, representing the dimensions along the object's local axes.
However, armature objects' reported dimensions changed with rotation.
The respective causes were:
1. `BKE_armature_min_max()` was using an incorrect formula (acknowledged
in a comment) for transforming the bounding box between spaces. This
worked fine for some of the places that `BKE_armature_min_max()` was
called, since they just reverse the transform using the same(!)
erroneous formula, but it didn't work for others.
2. `BKE_armature_min_max()` first computed the bounds in world space,
and then transformed them into object space, rather than computing
them in object space directly like the respective functions for other
object types. Even when done correctly, this causes the reported
dimension to vary with rotation.
This PR fixes these issues by simply computing the armature bounding box
in object space directly instead.
There is one place in the code base that was directly using the
world-space bounds: `view3d_calc_minmax_selected()`. However, for every
object type other than armatures, it takes the object-space bounds and
transforms them (with an incorrect formula!) to world space. So this PR
also changes `view3d_calc_minmax_selected()`'s armature code to do the
same, except with a correct formula.
Note that the reason for using the correct transform formula (departing
from other object types) is that the world-space bounds for armatures
were already correct prior to this PR due to being computed in that
space. Therefore using the incorrect formula has the potential to
introduce regressions in this case.

Add a new node to the dependency graph, to act as a single entry point
before drivers are evaluated in parallel.
The node will take all the driven RNA properties, and write their
current value to the property again. This ensures that any implicitly
shared data is copied to ensure writability. Subsequent concurrent
writes by the driver evaluation will then be safe, as the
thread-unsafe part has already been performed.

This patch turns the options of the Bilateral Blur node into inputs.
In the process, the Sigma Space and Iterations were joined into a single
Size input, previously they were just added together then ceiled to get
the blur size. Furthermore, Sigma Color was renamed to threshold and now
represents the average color difference, not the sum, so it was
previously multiplied by 3.
Versioning and RNA compatibility is not perfect due to joining the two
size options.

This patch turns the options of the Directional Blur node into inputs.
In the process, the node now allows scaling down, not just scaling up.
The transformation options were renamed to Translation, Rotation, and
Scale as opposed to Distance, Spin, and Zoom. Finally, scaling is now
defined as a scale instead of a delta. So 1 is identity, 2 means scale
up two times, and so on. While previously, 0 was an identity scale, 1
means scale up by two types.

When tweaking envelope radii of (connected) envelope bones, we dont
always make sure that corresponding head and tail radii are in sync.
Using the `Bone Size` tool should take care of this (and it works to
some extend) but tweaking the radii through the sidepanel UI or the
Properties Editor (through RNA), then corresponding heads and tails
radii get out of sync.
Once we are in such unfortunate situation, then code in the transform
system's `recalcData_edit_armature` fails with wrong assumptions, it
propagates radii from children to parents which are unexpected / not in
use.
So one thing to do would be to add this syncing of radii to
`rna_Armature_editbone_transform_update`.
This alone would solve the "problem" in new files.
For existing files that are already out of sync we add versioning that
corrects this on file load

This commit reduces the Mesh paint BVH node limit on vertices from
10000 to 2500. In general, a lower value here improves performance for
both raycasting and brush strokes, as smaller leaf nodes mean more nodes
can be filtered in the broad sphere tests instead of needing each
vertex to be processed.
There are a number of considerations that go into profiling this value:
* This change is most impactful for large meshes, where the user is
going to be modifying a small total percentage of the model's area.
* Lower values may improve CPU performance, but overall responsiveness
as perceived by the user goes down with values much smaller than 2500.
This is likely due to GPU overhead, as each BVH node corresponds to a
VBO.
* A lower node limits increase the BVH building time.
The new limit of 2500 corresponds to the following performance changes
as compared to the prior baseline:
* 1.12x ~ 1.52x FPS increase depending on the ratio of brush to mesh
size.
* 1.27x ~ 2.88x performance increase for the brush evaluation.
* 1.31x slower BVH build times on a mesh with 10 million verts
(0.2864s to 0.3761s).
Further performance data and comparison videos can be seen in the
associated PR.
