The refactor in 97d9bbbc97 changed the way q is computed in the spherical triangle sampling code. While the new approach is more efficient and saves a few operations, it introduces numerical precision issues for skinny/small (spherical) triangles.
Therefore, this change moves the computation of q back to the method from the paper, while keeping the more efficient solid angle computation.

Part of #116901.
The only non-obvious part is changing from using the `MR_DATA_LOOP_NOR`
flag as a signal to calculate normals and store them in `MeshRenderData` to
a more explicit check that the normals buffer is requested. In the future hopefully
these dependencies will be refactored to be part of the task graph instead.
Move the responsibility of deciding whether to calculate face corner
normals closer to the buffers and iteration, in preparation for replacing
the `data_flag` and `iter_flag` abstractions from the extractors system.
Part of #116901. Main benefits to this change are reduced function call
overhead and a simpler hot loop when face corner normals are extracted.
Code duplication is also reduced through use of templates. The downside
is that the access patterns aren't clearly better for the BMesh case where
a lot of data is stored array-of-structs style.
Make better use of the lazy calculation by avoiding storing a reference
to the calculated normals in the mesh render data. This reduces memory
usage from 282 MB to 225 MB in a test file with about 2 million faces.
Extract mesh logic to a separate function, and reorder subdiv loose
geometry extraction function. This is mainly to make a future diff
clearer. Also rename a variable to use more typical naming.
This was happening for any surface behind the near plane.
The sample bias is pushing receivers along normals so it
was visible on lights near the clip plane.

Split single keymap definition into timeline and preview as well as LCS
and RCS definitions.
This improves readability of keymap code.
Tweak and Box Select tools will now use "Sequencer Timeline Tool",
or "Sequencer Preview Tool" entries instead of "Sequencer Tool", so
custom keymaps or scripts have to be updated.

Conversion of compositor node tree to operation is done in a job thread,
and the main thread might modify the image data-block at the same time.
This change fixes it by making it so compositor uses acquire/release
semantic for the image data-block, and making it so the image locks its
render result, preventing other threads from modifying it.

Refactor subtask of #121929
Simplified void create_index_grids(const PBVH_GPU_Args &args, bool do_coarse)
with 2 extra functions that account for 2 code path generating faces indices.
This increase code readability and reasoning about its behavior instead of having a single uber function.

A continuation of #116901. This one doesn't have a performance impact
in my testing. It also adds a bit more code compared to main so it isn't
really obviously "better" like the previous refactors. However it does
get us closer to removing the "extractors" callback iteration loop
(`edit_data` is the only other enabled by default), and I'd argue that
the final code is easier to iterate on in the future since it's more
self-contained.
I made an effort to avoid storing restart indices in the index buffers.
Though this requires a bit more calculation on the CPU (particularly
because the hidden gaps in the IBO need to be compressed out), it
reduces overall CPU->GPU traffic and removes the need to strip the
restart indices on Metal.

These remain linked, so data remains to be read/loaded from the packed
version from the library (making this a useless and wasteful
duplication, also changes could be perceived as lost). Tooltip was also
reading "Unpack all files packed **into this .blend** to external ones",
so that bring it in line with the tooltip.
This came up in #122033

This was broken when introducing the new lod bias
system. This is not compatible with shadow cascade.
Add TODO to implement the bias on CPU when choosing
the Level of detail of the cascade.
This introduce a new "secret" per-repository property of type password
as described by #121856.
A token or secret may be used by some non blender.org repositories.
This only shows for remote repositories and is shown in the
"Add Remote Repository" popup.
This commit doesn't implement sending to token to the server which will
be implemented separately.

- Replace f-string with str.format
- Comment type annotations.
- Use double-quote for non-enum strings.
- Use single instead of double-underscores for private functions.
Add an optional `[build]` table, only used for the "build" sub-command.
Supported entries.
- `paths = [..]` list of strings.
Explicitly list all paths to include.
Python "wheels" and the manifest are automatically included.
- `paths_exclude_pattern = [..]` list of strings.
A `.gitignore` compatible list of patterns.
By default "paths_exclude_pattern" is set to:
[".*", "__pycache__"] when the `[build]` table entry isn't found.
Only one of these options is supported at once since it makes to sense
to exclude paths when they're manually listed.
When not all links connecting to a multi-input socket are duplicated
with the multi-input, the link position needs to be updated to avoid
the links being offset.

Different pipelines standardize on different XForm op setups (T-R-S,
T-orient quat-S, Matrix). Having this options means that this standard
can be chosen at export time instead of having to patch on load.
Speaking from experience, this is a very helpful option.

The main change is avoid storage of redundant data in the subdivision
draw cache, mainly by replacing reverse lookup from subdivided edge to
coarse edge. This way loops are structured as iteration over coarse
edges instead of iteration over subdivided edges with optional behavior
for vertices with matching base mesh faces. With that inversion the
information in the draw cache is trivial (or duplicated from an array
in `MeshRenderData`), so it's all removed, except for the subdivided
loose edge positions. That array is also shrunk though, by not
duplicating positions in between each subdivided edge. Its calculation
is more efficient for the same reason too.
Overall, besides code simplification, the effect should be lower
overhead with loose edges with GPU subdivision. Admittedly this isn't
a very important use case, but it's part of a general refactor trying
to use better data oriented design in this area (#116901).

Fixes#107880.
When making a linked asset local, you typically wouldn't want this new
data-block to suddenly be part of the asset libraries this file is in. To the
user it seems like making such a data-block local also implicitly makes it an
asset. Appending an asset already handles this, and clears the asset data by
default.
This patch modifies the `bpy.types.ID.make_local()` method, as well as all
internal calls to the make local functions, so that asset data is cleared by
default. The Python method has a new `clear_asset_data` parameter (optional,
true by default). Maybe this should not be optional.

We call the `shadow.end_sync()` another time when running
the baking pipeline so that the sun shadow maps can
use the correct camera setup and scene bounds.
