Just converts verts to points and vice versa.
Materials and Attribute layers are preserved (so for example if you set
custom radii on the pointcloud, convert to mesh, then convert back to
pointcloud, this will be preserved).
Also not add a Radius layer by default (it is still added and
filled when adding a pointcloud object from the menu), a global Radius
property that will be used if there is no radius attribute can be added
later. A Radius attribute can also be added in the pointcloud data
properties (and filled via python).
This will also add a new utility function that copies materials between
datablocks: BKE_id_materials_copy

Instead of custom data layer with special types, using general Vector and Float
attributes.

This is part of T76372.
It adds the `blend_write`, `blend_read_data`, `blend_read_lib`
and `blend_read_expand` which correspond to the various
steps when reading and writing .blend files.
Having these callbacks allows us to decentralize the blenloader
code a lot more. This has the affect that code related to any
specific ID type is less scattered.

The current particle state is stored in a `CustomData` instance and
the cache is stored in `PointCache`.
The current state exists on the copy-on-write copies of the simulation,
while the cache only exists in the original data block.
This patch implements a temporary trivial particle simulation that does not
use the node system yet. It is used for testing and will be replaced soon.
`PointCache` still has some limitations that need to be overcome using
separate refactorings. For example, we need to be able to store the number
of particles in the point cache. Also we need to change which attributes
are stored for a particle system more dynamically than is currently possible afaik.

There is no user visible difference in standard builds, as there are no
volume modifiers yet. When using WITH_NEW_OBJECT_TYPES some deform only
modifiers are now available for hair and pointcloud objects.

The `BKE_animsys.h` and `anim_sys.c` files already had a an "AnimData
API" section. The code in that section has now been split off, and
placed into `BKE_anim_data.h` and `anim_data.c`.
All files that used to include `BKE_animsys.h` have been adjusted to
only include the animation headers they need (sometimes none).
No functional changes.
