Different areas of this code were using different checks for whether a
specific curve combination has caps or not. Extract the check to a separate
function to avoid that problem.
Due to !133498 layers containing incorrect material indices could lead to generating
to many GPU resources crashing Blender. As there is a maximum number of material slots
we can limit it.
This is just a safeguard for incorrect values in material_index attribute layer. Working with
this material index attributes should automatically limit, but I leave that to the modeling
module.

In light of recent changes by Jeroen, #124515 seems to have been resolved properly, rather then using this workaround.
This also sidesteps the issue seen in #136633 which only happens when GPU sibdiv is disabled.

OpenVDB does not handle transformations with determinants smaller than
3e-15 and throws an `ArithmeticError` when a `Transform` is created
with invalid values.
To avoid abrupt crashes on the user side, this commit catches the error
and displays a warning message.

In Geometry Nodes a geometry is represented by a `GeometrySet`. This is a
container that can contain one geometry of each of the supported types (mesh,
curves, volume, grease pencil, pointcloud, instances). It's possible for a
`GeometrySet` to contain e.g. a mesh and a point cloud.
This patch creates a Python wrapper for the built-in `GeometrySet`. For now,
it's main purpose is to consume the complete evaluated geometry of an object
without having to go through complex hoops via `depsgraph.object_instances`. It
also also allows retrieving instances that have been created with legacy
instancing systems such as dupli-verts or particles.
In the future, the `GeometrySet` API could also be used for more kinds of
geometry processing from Python, similar to how we use `GeometrySet` internally
as generic geometry storage.
Since we can't really have constness guarantees in Python currently, it's
enforced that the `GeometrySet` wrapper always has its own copy of each geometry
type (so e.g. it does not share a `Mesh` data-block pointer with any other place
in Blender). Without the copy, changes to the mesh in the geometry set would
also affect the evaluated geometry that Blender sees. The copy has a small cost,
but typically the overhead should be low, because attributes and other run-time
data can still be shared. This should be entirely thread-safe, assuming that no
code modifies implicitly shared data, which is forbidden. For historic reasons
there are still cases like #132423 where this assumption does not hold in all
cases. Those cases should be fixed. To my knowledge, this patch does not
introduce any new such issues or makes existing issues worse.

This should ideally be used more in Geometry Nodes to avoid realizing subdiv
on the cpu if it's not really necessary. However, fully supporting it require more changes
in places that actually need the final subdivided mesh.
This also extends the "to string" conversion for `GeometrySet` to include information
about the subdivision level.
Add support for using the Stash (to NLA) and Push Down operators on
empty Actions. In the past years, the NLA has seen stability updates
that ensure strips are at least a single frame long, and with that even
pushing down an empty Action will create a visible (albeit tiny) NLA
strip. There doesn't seem to be a practical reason to disallow this any
more.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/136604
It is possible to un-assign the action slot from an NLA strip. If then
you enter tweak mode on it and insert keys, a new slot is created on the
Action (so far so good). However, exiting tweak mode did not assign that
slot to the NLA strip, deactivating the animation. This is now solved.
The slot assignment is done when exiting tweak mode because that's
when the whole "sync from assigned Action back to the NLA strip"
happens. Also things like syncing the strip length is done at
tweak-exit, so that seemed like the right place to me to do this too.

Set the flags on the image buffer when loading an EXR file, so they can be
used when saving.
This also removes IB_halffloat and replaces it by the file options flag.

I'm moving this for two (related) reasons:
* It depends a lot on the specifics of `Camera` and `Object` data-blocks.
* It links `Object::object_to_world()` which is not an inline function and thus
easily leads to linker errors. It mostly seems like luck that this is not
breaking our build due to early dead code elimination when linking binaries
which use the blenlib static library such as `msgfmt`.
I found this while working on a compilation tool which would not be as lucky and
has a linker error because of the dependence on `Object::object_to_world`.

Usually we prefer to propogate attributes based on name, even for
conversion between geometry types. Builtin attributes are a common
exception though. The Curve to Points node and the Curve to Mesh node
didn't correctly handle the "custom_normal" attribute, which shouldn't
be propagated. This has only been a problem since custom normals were
converted to a generic attribute on meshes in f9b627d29c.

Undefined nodes are currently drawn using a red alert theme color to
make it easier to spot them and replace them. On the other hand, nodes
that are unsupported, that is, nodes whose poll method fail, are not
reported to the user in any way. So this patch also uses the same red
alert color for unsupported nodes.
The node_type_is_undefined function is moved to the draw file since it
seems to be specific to it and not used anywhere else.

The group output node is updated as part of the topology cache.
When there are multiple group output nodes the first one with an "active"
flag is picked. However, if no group output is flagged this will leave
the group output unchanged in the cache, even if that node has been deleted.
Always initialize the group output runtime cache to null to avoid invalid
pointers.

Newer nodes may not have a fixed `legacy_type`. This was not accounted for
correctly when reading nodes. Such newer nodes are exclusively identified by their idname.
Fortunately, Blender 4.4 was released without any new nodes that don't have
a fixed `legacy_type`. So this does not have to be backported.

When using vertex parenting, an option for using the parent object
final evaluated indices is exposed in the Object Properties: Relations
panel. This allows the calculation of the parent vertex position to
ignore the the CD_ORIGINDEX layer and instead use the final indices
that may have been altered by the node tree evaluation.
The indices that will be used for the vertex parenting are also exposed
to the UI in the same panel, allowing them to be altered after the
vertex parent has been created.
The main issue of 'type-less' standard C allocations is that there is no check on
allocated type possible.
This is a serious source of annoyance (and crashes) when making some
low-level structs non-trivial, as tracking down all usages of these
structs in higher-level other structs and their allocation is... really
painful.
MEM_[cm]allocN<T> templates on the other hand do check that the
given type is trivial, at build time (static assert), which makes such issue...
trivial to catch.
NOTE: New code should strive to use MEM_new (i.e. allocation and
construction) as much as possible, even for trivial PoD types.

This makes it possible for Cycles adaptive subdivision to always get the
base mesh, and will enable the same for other external renderers as well.
Metal and Vulkan now support GPU subdivision, so by default the wrapper
will be used most of the time. However this can be disabled in the
preferencesas well. For those cases, the subdiv wrapper is still created
but cached immediately as part of modifier evaluation. This way it can
take advantage of multithreaded depsgraph evaluation, which is not
guaranteed for other cases.
The draw code access the object data through a wrapper that will return
either the base mesh or subdivided mesh depending if GPU subdivision is
enabled or not. Previously Object.data would have the appropriate mesh
already, but now that Cycles may do adaptive subdivision while GPU
subdivision is disabled this is no longer possible.

* Fix mesh_copy_data setting the subd wrapper type without copying the
associated tessellated mesh. It's unclear if this currently causes any
issues, but with future changes it would crash.
* Use double checked lock to avoid mutex locks on every call to
BKE_mesh_wrapper_ensure_mdata and BKE_mesh_wrapper_ensure_subdivision.
* Set wrapper type to subd also if subdivision was skipped due to bad
topology or level set to zero. Previous it would do mutex locking and
TBB task isolation on every function call.
* Add assert when BKE_mesh_wrapper_ensure_mdata changes the wrapper type
from subd to mdata. This doesn't really make any sense, it just loses
the subdivision detail. If any code relies on this we need to understand
why and maybe change it.

This patch adds common nodes that are used in Geometry Nodes and Shader
Nodes to the compositor. The following new nodes were added:
- Vector Math.
- Vector Rotate.
- Vector Mix.
- Value Mix.
- Clamp.
- Float Curve.
- Blackbody.
The follow nodes were replaced by common counterparts:
- Value.
- Color Ramp.
- Mix Color.
- Map Range.
- Math.
- Combine XYZ.
- Separate XYZ.
- Vector Curves.
Some new features were gained in the process:
- Mix Color can now clamp both factor and result.
- Map Range can map different types and interpolations.
- Vector Curves gained a new Factor input.
Some behaviors were changed:
- Map Range previously forcibly clamped values whose magnitude is larger
than the arbitrary value of 10000. This is no longer the case.
Some nodes were removed:
- Map Value. This was Map Range without the maximum 10000 limitation
followed by a Clamp node. Both are now available as nodes.
Some common nodes remain separate:
- Separate/Combine Color. Shader counterpart does not yet support all
color modes, and does not support alpha.
- RGB Curves. Shader variant does not support Film-Like curves or
Black/White balancing.
Texture nodes will also be added soon in a separate patch. Nodes that
were replaced are now deprecated but still exist and will later be
removed in v5.0. Backward compatibility code was introduced to convert
from the deprecated nodes to the new nodes.

Implement shortcuts for viewer nodes. Viewer nodes are now activated using the operator `bpy.ops.node.activate_viewer()` instead of activating the viewer by setting the node to active.
This also unifies the behavior with viewer shortcuts in the compositor (see attachment in the original PR).

This replaces the deprecated DrawData mechanism by the
usage of the update timestamp `last_update`.
The compositor keeps the `last_update` value of the cached ID
and compares it with the value on the ID at the time of evaluation.

If we tag positions to be changed we get a proper update (was probably
working for poly curves because the evaluated positions just reference
the original positions array when all curves are poly curves).
