Add definitions for the UI icons that we use in larger sizes, like in
the File Browser or in dialogs. The SVG source files for these are
already in the project, this just allows their use like ICON_FILE_LARGE
or ICON_WARNING_LARGE.

Reference identifiers instead of "above" in code comments as these
tends to become outdated. Even when declarations are removed it's at
least clear that the reference no longer exists instead of referring to
whatever is currently above the declaration.
It's also straightforward to search history for a removed identifier.
Corrected 4 cases of references to things that were no longer above
the doc-strings. Noticed other references which look to be incorrect
but need further investigation.
Precompiled Cycles kernels make up a considerable fraction of the total size of
Blender builds nowadays. As we add more features and support for more
architectures, this will only continue to increase.
However, since these kernels tend to be quite compressible, we can save a lot
of storage by storing them in compressed form and decompressing the required
kernel(s) during loading.
By using Zstandard compression with a high level, we can get decent compression
ratios (~5x for the current kernels) while keeping decompression time low
(about 30ms in the worse case in my tests). And since we already require zstd
for Blender, this doesn't introduce a new dependency.
While the main improvement is to the size of the extracted Blender installation
(which is reduced by ~400-500MB currently), this also shrinks the download on
Windows, since .zip's deflate compression is less effective. It doesn't help on
Linux since we're already using .tar.xz there, but the smaller installed size
is still a good thing.
See #123522 for initial discussion.

Small (50%) increase in the maximum values for UI resolution scale. UI
max changing from 2 to 3, property max from 4 to 6. Not only to mark
the change to improved icons at larger scale, but also to help with
testing and for better screen captures.

Using ICON_NONE causes textures to be referenced even though nothing
is ultimately drawn. This adds an early exit for this value, and also
changes the type of it from ICON_TYPE_COLOR_TEXTURE (used to display
a full-color bitmap) to ICON_TYPE_MONO_TEXTURE (normal one-color type
now coming from SVG).

- Optionally generate a simple HTML page (using --html).
- Links include repository, blender_versnon_* & platform information,
so the information can be used by blender when links are dropped
into Blender.
- Support using a template as the default HTML is primitive.
- Disable enabling on install when installing marked.
This simplifies installing many packages from a repository which can
be useful for testing.
- Fix an error installing marked when a local-only package was marked.
File browser can now show thumbnail view in a larger range of sizes.
Unfortunately there is a lower bound currently set on the icon that is
shown in the middle of the "document" that assumes 64 is the smallest
(the old minimum). This causes these icons to overflow below 64. Just
something that was missed when we allowed smaller sizes. This small
change supports down to 16.

Distribute our UI icons as separate SVG files in a folder in the
Blender installation. Rasterize each only when requested at the exact
size needed, and then saved in the text glyph cache for later uses.

If a non-instanced collection is linked, any collection exporters on the
linked collection would be active and invokable. This is probably not
desired as it could inadvertently overwrite files from the original.
Disable the operators in this case.
See PR for how each of the various append/link scenarios behave.

This is the root cause of broken updates
on local lights.
The same local frustum was used for all of the
tilemap (up to 6) of a light. This made the
`intersect(frustum, box)` call buggy which
would return true only if the object would
intersect with the first tilemap of the light.
This lead to improper updates when the object
would hit this path.
Fix#122533
706 SVG files, one for each UI icon (totaling 1.56 MB), added to the
project in release/datafiles/icons_svg/ folder. These will later be
packed into the binary at compile time. Required for #121718

The Oren Nayer diffuse BSDF had a energy compensation term added in a
recent commit[1]. This energy compensation term used the colour input
in it's computation. The colour input was clamped in SVM, but not OSL,
resulting in differences between the two backends. This commit resolves
this issue by clamping the colour in the OSL script to match SVM.

We've seen a ~15% performance regression on Meteor Lake iGPUs since
17f2cdd104608c86c910a937bb277c9f0e342345, this new compiler version
restores it.
No need to bump the minimum supported driver version as it was already
at 101.5518.

This is an alternative fix to #123524.
This is necessary, because `sculpt_update_object` is run after
the mesh is evaluated, but before the geometry depsgraph operation
is done. Only after this depsgraph node is done, `DEG_object_geometry_is_evaluated`
will return true.
This approach of `unchecked` methods has been preferred for now
over moving the call to `BKE_sculpt_update_object_after_eval`
to a separate depsgraph node or after depsgraph evaluation.
Cycles automatic denoiser picker assumed that OIDN could not be
run on the GPU while the CPU was the render device. So if the user was
using their CPU for rendering, the automatic denoiser picker would
"fallback" to a different denoiser (OptiX or CPU OIDN). This was true
in Blender 4.1, but changed in 4.2. The UI assumed that OIDN could run
on the GPU if there was a compatible OIDN GPU device.
This lead to a issue on systems using the CPU for rendering
while having a NVIDIA GPU installed in the system. The
UI suggested that OIDN would be used, and would switch between
CPU and GPU depending on user preferences. But the automatic
denoiser picker in Cycle's backend said OIDN could not run on
the GPU in this situation and would always "fallback" to the
OptiX denoiser running on the NVIDIA GPU.
This created a mismatch between the UI and what Cycles was
acutally doing. This issue did not effect other GPU vendors because
their "fallback" was the OIDN denoiser.
This commit fixes this issue by aligning the Cycles automatic
denoiser picker in the backend with the UI. Using OIDN if a GPU
is supported, falling back to OptiX if it's not supported,
falling back to OIDN CPU if OptiX isn't supported,
then falling back to no denoiser if that's not supported.

Basically this tries to make the API to stop and kill jobs more explicit &
consistent, so intent is expressed clearly & behavior as expected.
- Remove use of the job start callback address as identifier for the job.
6887dea786 already removed this pattern from the jobs system internals, this
commit also removes it from the API.
- Make stop & kill API and implementation consistent. E.g. don't stop/kill jobs
by either owner **or** type/callback in one function, and by owner (if
provided) **and** type/callback in another. Causes some small behavior
changes, documented inline.
- Use the same job type and API for all preview render jobs (change by Brecht).
There doesn't seem to be a need for the separated types, in fact the
separation might have caused some issues earlier (and added code complexity).
- Add/improve function documentation.
This does actually have subtle behavior changes that are known, see PR, but
they were investigated carefully and seem like implementing wanted behavior.

The callback-based identification was introduced before job types were added in
7b60529517. The job type should be a more predictable/sane way to identify jobs
that should be exclusive. Using anything else is confusing and non-obvious from
the API usage side. In fact it really confused me when working on #123027.
Checked all existing jobs to make sure behavior is unchanged. Found
two issues:
- `WM_JOB_TYPE_OBJECT_SIM_FLUID` is used for both
`fluid_bake_startjob()` and `fluid_free_startjob()`. It makes sense to
me that they would be exclusive though, so leaving it this way
(meaning they are exclusive now).
- Alembic and USD job types were reused, split them up now to not change
behavior.

When many text using BLF the glymp texture could be re-written.
In this case the new upload should be done in a separate render
graph node group. This wasn't the case and resulted in
validation warnings about the glyph texture being in an layout
that wasn't expected.
This PR simplifies the group extraction a bit by looking ahead
when the group ends.

Previously, the node checked for all possible missing evaluations first.
However, some of the outputs may still work even if using another one
could cause a dependency cycle.
