With this brush option it is possible to mask the boundary vertices of
all face sets. This is especially useful in the cloth brush, where face
sets can be used to simulate seams between different patches of cloth
and produce different patterns and effects.

This adds the Voxel Mode to the current remesh modifier. It works
exactly the same way as the voxel remesh operator and uses the same
properties to control the remeshing. We can exand this with more options
in the future (fix poles, reprojection...)

As the 'M' key is free, it's convenient to use for the merge menu,
especially since this contains "Merge by Distance",
a frequently used action.
Use 'Alt-M' for a new split menu, following our convention of Alt being
used for opposite functionality.
Also move merge/split menu's into the "Mesh" menu as neither operate
solely on a single mesh element type.
This was crashing, when looking into a fix I noticed that it gave
hap-hazard results dissolving past forks in the parent/child hierarchy
arbitrarily following one chain.
This functionality is almost identical to "dissolve" which delimits
forks in the chain predictably.
So remove this in favor of dissolve (available from the delete menu).
This works for all selection modes,
include last below a separator since it's a specialized function.
Note that the previous commit was raising an exception as operator
properties don't support 'or'.
The button seems to behave more as I'd expect without these
additional checks. Previously, the button was often grayed out when
it was actually working.

This commit introduces a new mode for calculating the positions and
weights of the IK segments in the Pose Brush based on the Face Sets.
The first segment of the chain will always include all face sets inside
the brush radius and it will propagate until the boundary of the last
face sets added in the flood fill. Then consecutive connected face sets
are added to the chain until the chain length limit is reached or all
face sets of the mesh are already part of the chain.
This feature enables complete control over the pose brush origins in
case that is needed. Also, with this mode, the user can have a library
of base meshes with face sets already configured to get to the initial
pose as fast as possible.

This commit aims to add functionality to the surface deform modifier that
gives more control and allows it to work better with the modifier stack.
* Maintains compatibility with older files. The default settings keep it
so that the whole object is bound and vertex coordinates get overwritten
as the modifier currently does.
* Turns the deformations from an absolute vertex coordinate overwrite into
an additive offset from the vertex location before the modifier to the
resulting bound deformation. This gives the ability to control the
strength of the deformation and mix the deformation of the modifier
with the modifier stack that comes before it.
* Also adds in a vertex group with the invert option. This is applied after
the bind deformation is added. So the whole object is still bound to target,
and the vertex group filters afterwards what parts get affected.
I experimented with a version to only binds the geometry weighted to the
vertex group, but that would break compatibility with old files.
I may bring it in later as a separate option/mode for the surface deform.
With several fixes from @mont29.

This commit gives the solidify modifier the ability to assign the newly created shell
and rim geometries to selected vertex groups. This expands the procedural control over
the modifier stack by letting users apply modifiers to the shell geometry without affecting
the original geometry.
This will be especially helpful for NPR users that use solidify to create backface
culling lines on their characters giving them the ability to add displace noise
and other effects.

This implements a new mode in the Face Sets Create operator to create a
new face sets from the faces selection in edit mode. This can be used
when the user considers that the edit mode tools are more convenient for
a more precise control or a certain type of selection, like creating a
face set from a face loop.

This operator initializes all face sets in the sculpt at once using
different mesh properties. It can create face sets by mesh connectivity,
material slots, face normals, UV seams, creases, sharp edges, bevel
weights and face maps.
For properties that are already in the faces, this is implemented as a
loop. Properties that depend on edge attributes use a similar operation
to sculpt flood fill, but using face adjacency instead of edge vertex
connectivity.
As Multires also stores the face sets in the base mesh, this should work
in the face sets Multires implementation without any changes.
This is implemented as a separate operator as this resets the visibility
and creates all face sets at once, while the create face set operator
creates a single face sets, leaving the rest of the face sets in the
mesh as they are.

This implements the Surface Smooth Brush as a mode inside the Smooth tool,
which uses the HC algorithm from "Improved Laplacian Smoothing of Noisy Surface Meshes".
Comparted to the regular smooth brush with laplacian smooth, this brush removes
the surface while preserving the volume of the object.
The smooth result can be controlled by tweaing the original shape preservation,
displacement and iteration count.
The same surface smooth operation is also available as a mesh filter.

This commit adds the option to invert the resulting weights of the

There is a workflow used by some to convert a texture mask into

This allows the same effect with a single click, and gives the modifier
more procedural functionality.

This has some advantages over operator search:
- Some operators need options set to be usefully accessed.
- Shows key bindings to access menus
(for actions that don't have key bindings themselves).
- Non operator actions such as check-boxes are also shown.
- Menu items can control execution context, using invoke or execute
where appropriate so we can control how the operator runs.
Part of the design task T74157.
This can be tested using the 'Experimental' preferences section
or selected in the key-map editor.
This patch adds ability to set up colors and size of background
(transparency) checkerboard pattern in viewport and 2d editors. No new
backgrounds, only changing colors in existing ones.
This is not the background of the viewport, it is a transparency
checkerboard that is turned on only in render mode, when the
transparency mode is on. And also in 2D-editors, (image, sequencer,
etc).

This patch implements dumping images from cache to HDD.
The main goal of this system is to provide a means to achieve consistent playback speed mainly for strips that are not possible to preview in real time.
How to use:
Disk cache has own settings in user preferences for path to storage, size limit and compression level.
To use disk cache, you need to check `Use Disk Cache` box, set `Disk Cache Directory`, `Disk Cache Limit` and save or open existing .blend file.
By default sequencer output will be cached only. Manual setting is possible in cache panel.
Uses:
- Replacement or alternative for proxies. Disk cache will work with any strip type, supports float images as well.
- Storage for strip thumbnails.
- Less RAM needs to be allocated for preview cache
How it works:
Disk cache is extension of RAM cache. Every image, that is stored or deleted in RAM will be stored or deleted on HDD as well. Images can be compressed to save space and for use on slower drives. Compressed images are slower to write and read though.
Images are stored in bulk of 100 rendered frames per one file. This is to overcome slow file access time for large amount of files. Drawback is, that if one frame needs to be redrawn, all 100 frames are deleted.
