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.
The issue is a combination of following aspects:
- Missing null-pointer check in the image operation, which is probably
why the result was buggy. It is addressed by #123493.
- In certain conditions loading image was wrongfully failing.
The reason for failing to read image were items with a null-pointer
image buffer left by the cache limit enforcer, which was considered
to be an indication of failed load from disk. The reason why the cache
limiter leaves items with null-ptr as an image buffer is kind of a
legacy limitation which was never resolved. Long story short: the
system expects put() to be called on the cache to clear its empty
items.
To solve the original issue of files considered to be unreadable
only set the cache-empty if the image buffer was added empty.

The first input of the compositor Mix node determines resolution,
leading to situation when the second input will always be attempted
to be evaluated. If the first input is a longer image sequence than
the second input it leads to a crash.
Do a null-pointer check and return transparent image in this cases,
similar to what the Movie Clip operation is doing.

When syncing in the background the UI could refresh immediately
before clicking making it possible for the user to install the wrong
extension. Since install also enables the extension, it meant it was
too easy to accidentally run untrusted code.
Disable install/upgrade while sync runs.
Also tweak text alignment and use round brackets for "(disabled)"
extensions.
Use a per-extension menu so extra functionality can be accessed from
one place.
- The install/upgrade button remains top-level.
- "Uninstall" and "Visit Website" have been moved into the menu.
- Theme extensions can be set from the menu.
- Installed add-on extensions have a "View Details" menu item
to switch to the add-ons view (useful to access preferences).
Based on design by Pablo & Dalai.

- Use line separator over box instead of separate boxes.
- Format web-links with a label, then the button instead
of positioning the buttons side-by-side.

Add back the "Add-ons" preferences, removing add-on logic from
extensions.
- Add support for filtering add-ons by tags
(separate from extension tags).
- Tags now respect the "Only Enabled" option.
- Remove the ability to enable/disable add-ons from extensions.
- Remove add-on preferences from extensions.
- Remove "Legacy" & "Core" prefix from add-on names.
- Remove "Show Legacy Add-ons" filtering option.
Implements design task #122735.
Details:
- Add-on names and descriptions are no longer translated,
since it's impractical to translate text which is mostly
maintained outside of Blender.
- Extensions names have a `[disabled]` suffix when disabled so it's
possible to identify installed but disabled extensions.
- The add-on "type" is shown in the details,
so it's possible to tell the difference between an extension,
a core add-on & a legacy user add-on.
- Icons are also used to differentiate the add-on type.
- User add-on's must be uninstalled from the add-ons section
(matching 4.1 behavior).
- Simplify logic for filtering tags, move into a function.
Primarily the `evaluation_mode` enum prop was incorrectly grouped with
the previous `xform_op_mode` enum causing them to combine in the UI.
Additionally, group the `allow_unicode` option under the Blender Data
sub layout as was intended but got lost in a merge.

Make half-size waveforms default in new files and Video Editing template.
They are more space efficient and display more detail at small sizes.
This does not change existing files.
