Completely forgot in rBcd49fee74114 to handle the owner ID copying case
(this code now also needs to re-assign to `owner_id` pointer of the
newly copied embedded IDs to their rightful owner).
Caused by {rB31365c6b9e4c}.
The new API `CustomDataAttributeProvider` just did not support
`CD_MASK_PROP_STRING`.
While strings dont perform nicely in their current form, still add
support back for the API.
Adding Strings to the supported types seems to survive just
fine, see attached example file.

For copy-on-write, we want to share attribute arrays between meshes
where possible. Mutable pointers like `Mesh.mvert` make that difficult
by making ownership vague. They also make code more complex by adding
redundancy.
The simplest solution is just removing them and retrieving layers from
`CustomData` as needed. Similar changes have already been applied to
curves and point clouds (e9f82d3dc7, 410a6efb74). Removing use of
the pointers generally makes code more obvious and more reusable.
Mesh data is now accessed with a C++ API (`Mesh::edges()` or
`Mesh::edges_for_write()`), and a C API (`BKE_mesh_edges(mesh)`).
The CoW changes this commit makes possible are described in T95845
and T95842, and started in D14139 and D14140. The change also simplifies
the ongoing mesh struct-of-array refactors from T95965.
**RNA/Python Access Performance**
Theoretically, accessing mesh elements with the RNA API may become
slower, since the layer needs to be found on every random access.
However, overhead is already high enough that this doesn't make a
noticible differenc, and performance is actually improved in some
cases. Random access can be up to 10% faster, but other situations
might be a bit slower. Generally using `foreach_get/set` are the best
way to improve performance. See the differential revision for more
discussion about Python performance.
Cycles has been updated to use raw pointers and the internal Blender
mesh types, mostly because there is no sense in having this overhead
when it's already compiled with Blender. In my tests this roughly
halves the Cycles mesh creation time (0.19s to 0.10s for a 1 million
face grid).

This function allows to set the start point for cyclic strokes.
The function is required by a new modifier and operator
that are currently under development.
The previous implementation iterated over all links multiple times
recursively. Instead, use the node tree topology cache, only iterate
over all links once, and use a stack to propagate the mute upsteam
and downstream.
Since above commit, `BKE_id_attributes_active_get` would also return
"internal" attributes like ".hide_poly" or ".hide_vert".
As a consequence, a couple of poll functions dont return false anymore
(attribute remove, attribute convert), allowing these operators to
execute, but acting on this "internal" layers is just asking for
trouble.
In the UI, we dont see these attributes, because `MESH_UL_attributes`
checks `is_internal`, same thing we do now in
`BKE_id_attributes_active_get`.

Reversing Bezier handle types and positions would skip the middle point
of curves with an odd number of segments, which is still necessary to
swap in order to avoid changing the curve's shape.
The material indices have been moved out of MPoly since f1c0249f34.
That conversion happens in file reading code currently, so the material
indices have to be accessed the new way everywhere.
The "set default" callback doesn't need to be defined since it falls
back to clearing the memory, but since "construct" is optional, it
needs to be defined. Mistake in 25237d2625.
These few lines making a copy of the final mesh were confusing.
The goal (I'm fairly certain) is to make sure the cage mesh and final
mesh aren't shared when applying the vertex coordinates to the final
mesh. This can be done more simply though, in a way that avoids
duplicating the final mesh if it already isn't shared.
This works well in some basic tests with different modifiers. Though
I doubt it was really a bottleneck anywhere, simplifying the modifier
stack internals is always nice.

This patch moves material indices from the mesh `MPoly` struct to a
generic integer attribute. The builtin material index was already
exposed in geometry nodes, but this makes it a "proper" attribute
accessible with Python and visible in the "Attributes" panel.
The goals of the refactor are code simplification and memory and
performance improvements, mainly because the attribute doesn't have
to be stored and processed if there are no materials. However, until
4.0, material indices will still be read and written in the old
format, meaning there may be a temporary increase in memory usage.
Further notes:
* Completely removing the `MPoly.mat_nr` after 4.0 may require
changes to DNA or introducing a new `MPoly` type.
* Geometry nodes regression tests didn't look at material indices,
so the change reveals a bug in the realize instances node that I fixed.
* Access to material indices from the RNA `MeshPolygon` type is slower
with this patch. The `material_index` attribute can be used instead.
* Cycles is changed to read from the attribute instead.
* BMesh isn't changed in this patch. Theoretically it could be though,
to save 2 bytes per face when less than two materials are used.
* Eventually we could use a 16 bit integer attribute type instead.

The purpose of `NodeTreeRef` was to speed up various queries on a read-only
`bNodeTree`. Not that we have runtime data in nodes and sockets, we can also
store the result of some queries there. This has some benefits:
* No need for a read-only separate node tree data structure which increased
complexity.
* Makes it easier to reuse cached queries in more parts of Blender that can
benefit from it.
A downside is that we loose some type safety that we got by having different
types for input and output sockets, as well as internal and non-internal links.
This patch also refactors `DerivedNodeTree` so that it does not use
`NodeTreeRef` anymore, but uses `bNodeTree` directly instead.
To provide a convenient API (that is also close to what `NodeTreeRef` has), a
new approach is implemented: `bNodeTree`, `bNode`, `bNodeSocket` and `bNodeLink`
now have C++ methods declared in `DNA_node_types.h` which are implemented in
`BKE_node_runtime.hh`. To make this work, `makesdna` now skips c++ sections when
parsing dna header files.
No user visible changes are expected.

While missing the break before a default that only breaks isn't
an error, it means adding new cases needs to remember to add the
break for an existing case, changing the default case will also
result in an unintended fall-through.
Also avoid `default:;` and add an explicit break.
This patch is a response to T92588 and is implemented
as a Function/Shader node.
This node has support for Float, Vector and Color data types.
For Vector it supports uniform and non-uniform mixing.
For Color it now has the option to remove factor clamping.
It replaces the Mix RGB for Shader and Geometry node trees.
As discussed in T96219, this patch converts existing nodes
in .blend files. The old node is still available in the
Python API but hidden from the menus.

When creating a curves data-block, one is expected to set the new
position values. We can slightly improve performance by avoiding
doing that redundantly.
Similar to cccc6d6905.
The "write_only" (i.e. no reading) API function expects the caller to
set values for all new attribute elements, so using calloc or setting
the default value first is redundant. In theory this can improve
performance by avoiding an extra pass over the array. I observed a
6% improvement in a basic test with the mesh to points node:
from 47.9ms to 45ms on average.
See 25237d2625 for more info.
