Move `Library.runtime` to be a pointer, move the related
`LibraryRuntime` struct to `BKE_library.hh`. Similar to e.g.
Mesh.runtime, that pointer is expected to always be valid, and is
allocated at readtime or when creating a new Library ID.
Related smaller changes:
* Write code now uses standard ID writing codepath for Library IDs too.
* Runtime pointer is reset to nullptr before writing.
* Looking up a library by its absolute path is now handled through a
dedicated utils, `search_filepath_abs`, instead of using
`BLI_findstring`.

This was implemented in the kernel but it shouldn't have been.
Since the function operates at the editor level and doesn't
only work at the low-level, it should be in the `object_vgroup.cc` file
in the `editor` context.
This also means that we can use `ensure_selection_attribute` which
fixes a crash when the selection attribute is on the wrong domain.

Currently UI code always has to use char pointers when interacting with
the translation system. This makes benefiting from the use C++ strings
and StringRef more difficult. That means we're leaving some type safety
and performance on the table. This PR adds StringRef overloads to the
translation API functions and removes the few calls to `.c_str()` that
are now unnecessary.

This PR does two things:
- tidy up the popup menu we get for parenting (removing non-funtional
options)
- enable "With Empty Groups" for lattices (no reason why this should not
work)
What this PR does not touch:
- the poll function for parenting (since this acts on selected objects,
checking all of them can be a costly operation which should not be part
of a poll function)

Adding an image object using drag and drop can fail without an apparent reason.
This patch shows an error when this happens so that the user can react accordingly (in this example switch to object mode, add the image and switch back to edit mode).

This adds a shallow check to see if the node group has been changed. If it has
been changed, the weak library reference is removed so that the node group will
be loaded from the source file again. This should become unnecessary once we
have asset embedding.
There are probably still ways to make Blender behave unexpectedly when editing
the Smooth by Angle node group, but this should already cover common edits. More
precise checks could be added as necessary.

This changes the `ListBase` argument for certain motion path functions
to `Vector<MPathTarget *>`. (and `Span`)
To better describe what the function is doing,
`animviz_get_object_motionpaths` has been renamed
to `animviz_build_motionpath_targets`.
Since `BLI_freelistN` can no longer be used, I added
`animviz_free_motionpath_targets`.
Note that the Vector is of `MPathTarget *` which
are allocated the C way. Because the `MPathTarget` struct is defined
in the .cc file, that's the only way for it to work atm.
Other refactors may mitigate that in the future, but I wanted to keep
the scope small.

Before, it was only possible to apply modifiers through a multires modifier if
they were deform-only. The Geometry Nodes modifier is of course not deform-only.
However, often one can build a node setup, that only deforms and does nothing
else.
To make it possible to apply the Geometry Nodes modifier in such cases the
following things had to be done:
* Update `BKE_modifier_deform_verts` to work with modifiers that implement
`modify_geometry_set` instead of `deform_verts`.
* Add error handling for the case when `modify_geometry_set` does more than just
deformation.
* Allow the Geometry Nodes modifier to be applied through a multi-res modifier.
Two new utility types (`ArrayState` and `MeshTopologyState`) have been
introduced to allow for efficient and accurate checking whether the topology has
been modified. In common cases, they can detect that the topology has not been
changed in constant time, but they fall back to linear time checking if it's not
immediately obvious that the topology has not been changed.
This works with the example files from #98559 and #97603.

The recent addition of DEG_disable_visibility_optimization in #133358
almost fixed this, but it was not fully working. By ensuring objects
are evaluated we avoid modifying original objects.
If for some reason (like a Python handler) the object is still missing,
report an error in the bake operator.

Avoid breaking with a partially initialized `highpoly` as this
could cause complications when freeing members in the future.
Also use variables for brevity.
Changes in [0] broke baking to objects with animated render visibility,
causing render visibility override not to work.
Resolve by disabling visibility optimizations.
Ref !133358
[0]: 0dcee6a386
Baking could fail to access an objects evaluated mesh data (see #107426),
while the error remains, prefer an error instead of crashing.
Since the depsgraph runs Python callbacks I don't think we can
provide a guarantee the mesh data will available, so even if #107426
is fixed, it's reasonable to have a check here.
When converting mesh to grease pencil, different face materials should
also be converted to grease pencil ones. This now works by converting
viewport display color diffuse_color from the mesh material to grease
pencil material fill color. Notes:
- If there are empty material slots in the mesh, faces assgined to these
material slots will be assgined to a new fallback white material in
the converted grease pencil fills.
- If original mesh does not have any material slots, a white material
will be created in the grease pencil object for the fills.
- If original mesh has multiple material slots of the same material,
they would be reduced to one material slot in the converted fills.

The name was incorrect as it doesn't add to the "Active Collection"
the description, was also incorrect referencing "the object" instead
of the selection.
Use a longer description to clarify the purpose of the operator.
Resolves#64313.
Grease Pencil tool settings could have different selection modes for
different object modes (like edit mode and sculpt mode). This fix
ensures when switching object modes, the selection domain is updated to
match the selection mode.

`BKE_main_ensure_invariants` was added in 1fae5fd8f6. The older
`ED_node_tree_propagate_change` was already implemented as a thin wrapper around
`BKE_main_ensure_invariants`. This patch removes the wrapper and calls the more
general function directly.
A new overload of `BKE_main_ensure_invariants` is added for the common case when
only a single data-block has been modified.

When converting object to grease pencil from mesh, the material counters
need to be set to the the value that matches
`GreasePencil::material_array_num` to avoid index issues in adding
grease pencil materials downstream.

Convert mesh objects to grease pencil, optionally preserve mesh faces as
filled shapes, and convert crease edges into strokes. Following options
are available:
- Whether to convert faces to filled strokes.
- Stroke thickness.
- Stroke offset (Using normal direction to lift strokes out of mesh
surfaces).
Note that "Crease Angle" option from legacy grease pencil is not ported
to this implementation. This option is deemed more suitable for using
geometry nodes to achieve.

Main goals of this refactor:
* Make it more obvious which update function should be used.
* Make it more obvious which parameters are required by using references instead
of pointers.
* Support passing in multiple modified trees instead of just a single one.
No functional changes are expected.

The new description for `bNode.type_legacy`:
```
/**
* Legacy integer type for nodes. It does not uniquely identify a node type, only the `idname`
* does that. For example, all custom nodes use #NODE_CUSTOM but do have different idnames.
* This is mainly kept for compatibility reasons.
*
* Currently, this type is also used in many parts of Blender, but that should slowly be phased
* out by either relying on idnames, accessor methods like `node.is_reroute()`.
*
* A main benefit of this integer type over using idnames currently is that integer comparison is
* much cheaper than string comparison, especially if many idnames have the same prefix (e.g.
* "GeometryNode"). Eventually, we could introduce cheap-to-compare runtime identifier for node
* types. That could mean e.g. using `ustring` for idnames (where string comparison is just
* pointer comparison), or using a run-time generated integer that is automatically assigned when
* node types are registered.

The part that used the context does not seem to be necessary anymore. If the
given tree has any update tag set, the same notifiers will be sent anyway by the
`tree_changed_fn` callback.
If it turns out that we are now missing some notifier, then we have to change
the caller. It either has to call the proper `BKE_ntree_update_tag_*` function,
or create the notifier directly.
This change helps to generalize the concept of propagating changes in original
data, because the context is rarely available.

UnitSettings::scale_length was used to scale reported
values for operators (translate, shrink-fatten, voxel-size).
This isn't expected as the value isn't editable when the unit-system
is set to None.
Add BKE_unit_value_as_string_scaled utility function for clarity &
to ensure scaling is only applied when it should be.
Consistently pass evaluated bake target objects to Cycles, instead
of using the original for this case. This way it can be matched with
evaluated objects being rendered.

This caused build errors on the docs builder, I can't seem to reproduce
locally, so revert for now and have another look at some point in the

Sadly as these changes usually go, this took 5c515e26bb and
