When activating a rotation with the Transform gizmo for example, some
gizmos are hidden but they don't reappear when changing the mode.
Make sure the gizmos corresponding to the mode always reappear.
This patch optimises subsurface intersection queries on MetalRT. Currently intersect_local traverses from the scene root, retrospectively discarding all non-local hits. Using a lookup of bottom level acceleration structures, we can explicitly query only the relevant instance. On M1 Max, with MetalRT selected, this can give a render speedup of 15-20% for scenes like Monster which make heavy use of subsurface scattering.

`em_setup_vivewcontext` cannot be used in this function now as it
expects `obedit` to be a mesh. It also duplicated the viewcontext init.
Instead `BKE_editmesh_from_object` is called only when type is a mesh.
Existing `BKE_main_namemap_destroy` is too specific when a entire Main
needs to have its namemaps cleared, since it would not handle the
Library ones.
While in regular situation current code is fine, ID management code that
may also edit linked data needs a wider, simpler clearing tool.
Current `BKE_id_remapper_add` would not replace an already existing
mapping rule, now `BKE_id_remapper_add_overwrite` allows that behavior
if necessary.
If identity pairs (i.e. old ID pointer being same as new one) was
forbidden, then this should be asserted against in code defining
remapping, not in code applying it.
But it is actually sometimes usefull to allow/use identity pairs, so
simply early-return on these instead of asserting.
The goal is to give technical artists the ability to optimize modifier usage
and/or geometry node groups for performance. In the long term, it
would be useful if Blender could provide its own UI to display profiling
information to users. However, right now, there are too many open
design questions making it infeasible to tackle this in the short term.
This commit uses a simpler approach: Instead of adding new ui for
profiling data, it exposes the execution-time of modifiers in the Python
API. This allows technical artists to access the information and to build
their own UI to display the relevant information. In the long term this
will hopefully also help us to integrate a native ui for this in Blender
by observing how users use this information.
Note: The execution time of a modifier highly depends on what other
things the CPU is doing at the same time. For example, in many more
complex files, many objects and therefore modifiers are evaluated at
the same time by multiple threads which makes the measurement
much less reliable. For best results, make sure that only one object
is evaluated at a time (e.g. by changing it in isolation) and that no
other process on the system keeps the CPU busy.
As shown below, the execution time has to be accessed on the
evaluated object, not the original object.
```lang=python
import bpy
depsgraph = bpy.context.view_layer.depsgraph
ob = bpy.context.active_object
ob_eval = ob.evaluated_get(depsgraph)
modifier_eval = ob_eval.modifiers[0]
print(modifier_eval.execution_time, "s")
```

The `SNAP_FORCED` setting is set to the operation and not the snap
status.
Therefore, this option should not be cleared along with the other
statuses when resetting snapping.
Move then the location of this setting to `TransInfo::modifiers`.
BGL deprecation calls used to be reported on each use. As bgl calls
are typically part of a handler that is triggered at refresh this
could lead to overflow of messages and slowing down systems when
the terminal/console had to be refreshed as well.
This patch only reports the first 100 bgl deprecation calls. This
gives enough feedback to the developer that changes needs to be made
. But still provides good responsiveness to users when they have
such add-on enabled. Only the first frames can have a slowdown.
This patch adds two new kernels: SORT_BUCKET_PASS and SORT_WRITE_PASS. These replace PREFIX_SUM and SORTED_PATHS_ARRAY on supported devices (currently implemented on Metal, but will be trivial to enable on the other backends). The new kernels exploit sort partitioning (see D15331) by sorting each partition separately using local atomics. This can give an overall render speedup of 2-3% depending on architecture. As before, we fall back to the original non-partitioned sorting when the shader count is "too high".

This patch removes the option to select both AMD and Intel GPUs on system that have both. Currently both devices will be selected by default which results in crashes and other poorly understood behaviour. This patch adds precedence for using any discrete AMD GPU over an integrated Intel one. This can be overridden with CYCLES_METAL_FORCE_INTEL.

The merge down operator was sometimes copying the wrong frame, which altered the animation.
While merging the layers, it is sometimes needed to duplicate a keyframe,
when the lowest layer does not have a keyframe but the highest layer does.
Instead of duplicating the previous keyframe of the lowest layer, the code
was actually duplicating the active frame of the layer which was the current frame in the timeline.
This patch fixes the issue by setting the previous keyframe of the layer as its active frame before duplication.

Mutex locks for manipulating GHOST_System::m_timerManager from
GHOST_SystemWayland relied on WAYLAND being the only user of the
timer-manager.
This isn't the case as timers are fired from
`GHOST_System::dispatchEvents`.
Resolve by using a separate timer-manager for wayland key-repeat timers.
Resolve a thread safety issue reported by valgrind's helgrind checker,
although I wasn't able to redo the error in practice.
NULL check on the key-repeat timer also needs to lock, otherwise it's
possible the timer is set in another thread before the lock is acquired.
Now all key-repeat timer access which may run from a thread
locks the timer mutex before any checks or timer manipulation.
There were two errors with the function used to convert face sets
to the legacy mesh format for keeping forward compatibility:
- It was moved before `CustomData_blend_write_prepare` so it
operated on an empty span.
- It modified the mesh when it's only supposed to change the copy
of the layers written to the file.

This implements two optimizations:
* If the duplication count is constant, the offsets array can be
filled directly in parallel.
* Otherwise, extracting the counts from the virtual array is parallelized.
But there is still a serial loop over all elements in the end to compute
the offsets.
In the unlikely case an area could not be created OPERATOR_CANCELLED
was returned, this has the same value of WM_HANDLER_HANDLED however
break is logical in this situation and both flags work.
If GetFileAttributesW returns an error, only debug assert if the reason
is file not found.

This makes the code more readable.
In this commit also the `int curr_side_unclamp` member was moved to
`EdgeSlideParams` as it is a common value for all "Containers".
There was an inconsistency between geometry sample nodes and mesh/curve
sample nodes, where the latter didn't have a special "Sample" category,
and we categorized as "Operations", which they were not. Also put the
sample category between "Read" and "Write" since the verb name is
more consistent and sampling is an advanced form of reading.
In some cases panels without headers were drawn too wide in sidebars
with region overlap.
Instead of always using the maximum width the view allows, headerless
panels now also use the width calculated in
`panel_draw_width_from_max_width_get`. The function already returns the
correct width in all cases and also takes care of insetting the panels,
when their backdrop needs to be drawn, which is necessary for headerless
panels, too, when there is region overlap.
