Move `GeometrySet` and `GeometryComponent` and subclasses
to the `blender::bke` namespace. This wasn't done earlier since
these were one of the first C++ classes used throughout Blender,
but now it is common.
Also remove the now-unnecessary C-header, since all users of
the geometry set header are now in C++.

Fixed an issue where meshes without loose elements or hidden triangle
faces were not taking into account the relevant masks.
From the user's perspective, this might not have seemed like a
significant problem. However, hidden faces in edit mode were
occasionally still snappable.
The Alembic data streaming can optionally interpolate between vertex of
two adjacent frames in order to smooth out the transition between
frames.
However, the decision to interpolate is only based on the vertex count.
This is not too robust as topology/connectivity can still differ even if
the number of vertices is the same (for example physics simulations and
videogrammetry can be set to output the same vertex count, but optimize
the triangle placement). This lead to vertices of unrelated polygons
being interpolated across frames.
To fix this, we now also check if the connectivity across frames is the
same, instead of just checking the topology counters. Although the bug
is revealed by the vertex interpolation routine, a similar fix is applied
to the check on topology change used to decide if the modifier has to be
evaluated for orco evaluation.

Add a quaternion rotation socket type, and using the recently added
rotation attribute type, support the type in most of the multi-type
geometry nodes, and modifier attribute inputs and outputs.
The socket is still exposed with an XYZ Euler default value.
In the future we can add modes to this rotation value similar
to object rotations.
Rotation values have no implicit conversions to other types.
Nodes to convert to and from rotation values will be added
in a follow-up commit.
For now, the new socket type is hidden behind and experimental
option, because we haven't chosen the final color for it yet.

Adds an optional list of panels to node trees. Each socket can be
assigned a panel. UI panels will be created in the future in the
modifier for these grouped sockets.
Panels are stored as a pointer array in node trees, next to socket
declarations. Each panel has a name, but it does not have to be unique.
In future a panel might also store whether it is visible by default and
similar information.
C API and RNA API are both added. Panels and their socket
assignments are accessible to users through another list in the "Group"
tab of the node editor sidebar.
Sockets in the same panel will remain together even when adding,
removing, or moving sockets or panels, renaming, etc.
A socket can be moved up or down within a panel but each panel
remains a contiguous block. Actual tree views may be created later.

Sometimes the modifier has never been evaluated by an active depsgraph
before it is used for rendering. In this case, the baked data was never
loaded. Now also allow checking for baked data in a non-active depsgraph.
The locking that is in-place already should probably already be enough
to make this thread-safe but maybe that could be made more explicit.
Previously, there were two independent algorithms for analysing how anonymous
attributes are used in a node tree: One that just computed the `aal::RelationsInNode`
for an entire node tree and one that performed a more in depth analysis to
determine how far anonymous attributes should be propagated.
As it turns out, both operations can also be done at the same time and the result
can be cached on the node tree. This reduces the amount of code and allows for
better code reuse.
This simplification is likely only an intermediate step as things will probably have
to be refactored further to support e.g. serial loops (#108896).
It's possible to customize how the generated graph looks like by
passing in a custom `bNodeTreeToDotOptions`. This allows making
specialized visualizations for specific algorithms.
e5ec04d73c changed the way crease vakyes are stored in 4.0.
Add versioning for reading the new files that replaces the new generic
attributes with the old non-generic custom data layers. The code is
paranoid with lots fo checks I expect will typically not be necessary.
Similar to f75af7cbf5
Store subdivision surface creases in two new named float attributes:
- `crease_vert`
- `crease_edge`
This is similar to 2a56403cb0.
The attributes are naming conventions, so their data type and domain
aren't enforced, and may be interpolated when necessary. Editing tools
and the subdivision surface modifier use the hard-coded name. It might
be best if these were edited as generic attributes in the future, but
in the meantime using generic attributes helps.
The attributes are visible in the list, which is how they're now meant
to be removed. They are now interchangeable with any tool that works
with the generic attribute system-- even tools like vertex paint can
affect creases now.
This is a breaking change. Forward compatibility isn't preserved for
versions before 3.6, and the `crease` property in RNA is removed in
favor of making a smaller API surface area with just the attribute API.
`Mesh.vertex_creases` and `Mesh.edge_creases` now just return the
matching attribute if possible, and are now implemented in Python.
New functions `*ensure` and `*remove` also replace the operators to
add and remove the layers for Python.
A few extrude node test files have to be updated because of different
(now generic) attribute interpolation behavior.

The split edges code had a complex method of merging duplicate edges,
going backwards to avoid shifting elements in a vector. Sometimes it
could result in incorrect corner edge indices though, if it moved an
index that matched one of the local variables (I think! I've bee
trying to understand this all day and still struggling). Instead,
replace it with a `VectorSet` that handles the deduplication by
itself, and avoid creating the new edges until the end.
I think this code could still be simpler if we tried to reduce the
amount of things happening at the same time, making more code
deal with the input or final state rather than an in-between one.
But to avoid making the change too complicated I stopped here.

`AUDIO_MUTE` flag of `scene->audio.flag` works as intended and tooltip
for this property is not correct. However muting scene audio for
playback and rendering is not be very useful, since users can render
with no audio explicitly or adjust scene volume.
Only mute audio if `DAG_EVAL_VIEWPORT` mode is used.
Add a quaternion attribute type that will be used in combination with
rotation sockets for geometry nodes to give a more intuitive experience
and better performance when using rotations.
The most interesting part is probably the interpolation, the rest is
the same as the last attribute type addition, 988f23cec3.
We need to interpolate multiple values with different weights.
Based on Sybren's suggestion, this uses the `expmap` methods from
4805a54525 for that.
This also refactors `SimpleMixerWithAccumulationType` to use a
function rather than a cast to convert to the accumulation type.

The data transfer code stored values not in the `eCustomDataType`
enum in this variable, so the type was incorrect. Instead use a cast
when we expect the value to be a valid enum value.
