Instead of keeping track of a local array of positions in the modifier
stack itself, use the existing edit mode SoA "edit cache" which already
contains a contiguous array of positions. Combined with positions as a
generic attribute, this means the state is contained just in the mesh
(and the geometry set) making the code much easier to follow.
To do this we make more use of the mesh wrapper system, where we can
pass a `Mesh` that's actually stored with a `BMesh` and the extra
cached array of positions. This also resolves some confusion-- it was
weird to have the mesh wrapper system for this purpose but not use it.
Since we always created a wrapped mesh in edit mode, there's no need
for `MOD_deform_mesh_eval_get` at all anymore. That function was quite
confusing with "eval" in its name when it really retrieved the original
mesh.
Many deform modifiers had placeholder edit mode evaluation functions.
Since these didn't do anything and since the priority is node-based
deformation now, I removed these. The case is documented more in the
modifier type struct callbacks.

After some recent changes BLI_math_base got (indirectly) included
from DNA file, causing defines conflict in Cycles: Cycles wants the
default fast behavior of square root, and BLI color wants it to be
more preciese.
Proposed solution is to move the SSE block away from the math_base
closer to code which uses it. The initial intent was to make those
functions reusable, but for a long long time the color utilities
are the only users of those functions.
This change does not prevent the error from re-occurring in the
future if some code includes sse2neon and BLI color utilities, but
it makes such conflict situation much less likely to happen, for
now.
The downside of this change is that the code now need to include
BLI_simd.h explicitly to access BLI_HAVE_SSE2 instead of relying
on it being included indirectly with math headers. The mitigation
for this is to change semantic of the BLI_HAVE_SSE2: now it is
defined to 1 if SSE2 is supported and to 0 otherwise. This makes
it so the code needs to check if using `#if BLI_HAVE_SSE2` and
if the BLI_simd.h is not included it will generate warning when
using GCC or Clang.
This change in semantic is is something the current patches would
need to ensure is handled correctly.

Some modifiers used `MOD_deform_mesh_eval_get` to make sure they had
a mesh to retrieve vertex groups from. But since curves don't support
vertex groups anyway, and since the curve to mesh conversion is handled
by the (legacy) curve object modifier stack anyway, this is confusing
and unnecessary. This shouldn't give any behavior changes, but some
deform modifiers on legacy curve objects might be faster if they used
to do the conversion.
A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:
