Currently the `MLoopUV` struct stores UV coordinates and flags related
to editing UV maps in the UV editor. This patch changes the coordinates
to use the generic 2D vector type, and moves the flags into three
separate boolean attributes. This follows the design in T95965, with
the ultimate intention of simplifying code and improving performance.
Importantly, the change allows exporters and renderers to use UVs
"touched" by geometry nodes, which only creates generic attributes.
It also allows geometry nodes to create "proper" UV maps from scratch,
though only with the Store Named Attribute node for now.
The new design considers any 2D vector attribute on the corner domain
to be a UV map. In the future, they might be distinguished from regular
2D vectors with attribute metadata, which may be helpful because they
are often interpolated differently.
Most of the code changes deal with passing around UV BMesh custom data
offsets and tracking the boolean "sublayers". The boolean layers are
use the following prefixes for attribute names: vert selection: `.vs.`,
edge selection: `.es.`, pinning: `.pn.`. Currently these are short to
avoid using up the maximum length of attribute names. To accommodate
for these 4 extra characters, the name length limit is enlarged to 68
bytes, while the maximum user settable name length is still 64 bytes.
Unfortunately Python/RNA API access to the UV flag data becomes slower.
Accessing the boolean layers directly is be better for performance in
general.
Like the other mesh SoA refactors, backward and forward compatibility
aren't affected, and won't be changed until 4.0. We pay for that by
making mesh reading and writing more expensive with conversions.

Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D14365
**Changes**
As described in T93602, this patch removes all use of the `MVert`
struct, replacing it with a generic named attribute with the name
`"position"`, consistent with other geometry types.
Variable names have been changed from `verts` to `positions`, to align
with the attribute name and the more generic design (positions are not
vertices, they are just an attribute stored on the point domain).
This change is made possible by previous commits that moved all other
data out of `MVert` to runtime data or other generic attributes. What
remains is mostly a simple type change. Though, the type still shows up
859 times, so the patch is quite large.
One compromise is that now `CD_MASK_BAREMESH` now contains
`CD_PROP_FLOAT3`. With the general move towards generic attributes
over custom data types, we are removing use of these type masks anyway.
**Benefits**
The most obvious benefit is reduced memory usage and the benefits
that brings in memory-bound situations. `float3` is only 3 bytes, in
comparison to `MVert` which was 4. When there are millions of vertices
this starts to matter more.
The other benefits come from using a more generic type. Instead of
writing algorithms specifically for `MVert`, code can just use arrays
of vectors. This will allow eliminating many temporary arrays or
wrappers used to extract positions.
Many possible improvements aren't implemented in this patch, though
I did switch simplify or remove the process of creating temporary
position arrays in a few places.
The design clarity that "positions are just another attribute" brings
allows removing explicit copying of vertices in some procedural
operations-- they are just processed like most other attributes.
**Performance**
This touches so many areas that it's hard to benchmark exhaustively,
but I observed some areas as examples.
* The mesh line node with 4 million count was 1.5x (8ms to 12ms) faster.
* The Spring splash screen went from ~4.3 to ~4.5 fps.
* The subdivision surface modifier/node was slightly faster
RNA access through Python may be slightly slower, since now we need
a name lookup instead of just a custom data type lookup for each index.
**Future Improvements**
* Remove uses of "vert_coords" functions:
* `BKE_mesh_vert_coords_alloc`
* `BKE_mesh_vert_coords_get`
* `BKE_mesh_vert_coords_apply{_with_mat4}`
* Remove more hidden copying of positions
* General simplification now possible in many areas
* Convert more code to C++ to use `float3` instead of `float[3]`
* Currently `reinterpret_cast` is used for those C-API functions

There are two underlying issues which got uncovered by the report:
First, is that the poll() function for the operator was using legacy

This is often because the 'Only Show Selected' filter is disabled. This 'requirement' does not seem to be necessary since the Dopesheet is already in Grease Pencil mode and there is an active Grease Pencil Object. It is also not apparent as to why so many Operators depend on it and unintuitive that it controls their function. The 'Only Show Selected' filter button is far away from the Operator buttons in the User Interface Header, so it's difficult to make the association.
If the 'Only Show Selected' IS absolutely required, I believe it should be closer to the DOPESHEET_HT_editor_buttons. Otherwise, I think the requirement should be removed.

This patch makes sure that each of the expand keymap entries will use consistent "invert" and "use_mask_preserve" properties.
Based on previous discussions we decided to flip the default Mask Expand behavior.
This has multiple benefited:
- The mask creation is more consistent with other masking tools (Always add to existing mask. Mask selected areas)
- It's easier to use expanding for masking face sets (Snapping with `Ctrl`) or building a mask from repeated operations
- It's less likely to mask certain areas unintentionally (Loose mesh islands)
- If the current behavior is desired for an expand operation the user can use `E` & `F` in the modal keymap (Which is less often the case).

The Blur Attribute node mixes values of neighboring elements in meshes and curves.
Currently it supports points, edges and faces on meshes and points on curves.
In theory, support for face corners could be added, but useful semantics are not
obvious yet.
The node calculates a weighted average of each element with its neighbors (based
on curve/mesh topology). The weight of the element itself is always 1, and the weight
of the neighbor elements is controlled by the weight input socket. In the future,
more options for how different elements are weight can be added (e.g. smoothing
groups and selection).
The node can perform multiple blurring iterations to achieve a blurrier result.
Generally, it is better to do multiple iterations in one node instead of using
multiple blur nodes because it has better performance in the current implementation.
We use the term "Blur" (instead of "Smooth") because smoothing is generally more
related to removing roughness from surfaces. When viewing the result of the
Blur Attribute node in the viewport, it looks like an image is blurred. While the
node can also be used to smooth surfaces, other/better algorithms exists for that
purpose (which e.g. don't reduce the volume of the mesh to zero with too many
iterations).

**Problem**:
Area lights in Cycles have spread angle, in which case some part of the area light might be invisible to a shading point. The current implementation samples the whole area light, resulting some samples invisible and thus simply discarded. A technique is applied on rectangular light to sample a subset of the area light that is potentially visible (rB3f24cfb9582e1c826406301d37808df7ca6aa64c), however, ellipse (including disk) area lights remained untreated. The purpose of this patch is to apply a techniques to ellipse area light.
**Related Task**:
T87053
**Results**:
These are renderings before and after the patch:
|16spp|Disk light|Ellipse light|Square light (for reference, no changes)
|Before|{F13996789}|{F13996788}|{F13996822}
|After|{F13996759}|{F13996787}|{F13996852}
**Explanation**:
The visible region on an area light is found by drawing a cone from the shading point to the plane where the area light lies, with the aperture of the cone being the light spread.
{F13990078,height=200}
Ideally, we would like to draw samples only from the intersection of the area light and the projection of the cone onto the plane (forming a circle). However, the shape of the intersection is often irregular and thus hard to sample from directly.
{F13990104,height=200}
Instead, the current implementation draws samples from the bounding rectangle of the intersection. In this case, we still end up with some invalid samples outside of the circle, but already much less than sampling the original area light, and the bounding rectangle is easy to sample from.
{F13990125}
The above technique is only applied to rectangle area lights, ellipse area light still suffers from poor sampling. We could apply a similar technique to ellipse area lights, that is, find the
smallest regular shape (rectangle, circle, or ellipse) that covers the intersection (or maybe not the smallest but easy to compute).
For disk area light, we consider the relative position of both circles. Denoting `dist` as the distance between the centre of two circles, and `r1`, `r2` their radii. If `dist > r1 + r2`, the area light is completely invisible, we directly return `false`. If `dist < abs(r1 - r2)`, the smaller circle lies inside the larger one, and we sample whichever circle is smaller. Otherwise, the two circles intersect, we compute the bounding rectangle of the intersection, in which case `axis_u`, `len_u`, `axis_v`, `len_v` needs to be computed anew. Depending on the distance between the two circles, `len_v` is either the diameter of the smaller circle or the length of the common chord.
|{F13990211,height=195}|{F13990225,height=195}|{F13990274,height=195}|{F13990210,height=195}
|`dist > r1 + r2`|`dist < abs(r1 - r2)`|`dist^2 < abs(r1^2 - r2^2)`|`dist^2 > abs(r1^2 - r2^2)`
For ellipse area light, it's hard to find the smallest bounding shape of the intersection, therefore, we compute the bounding rectangle of the ellipse itself, then treat it as a rectangle light.
|{F13990386,height=195}|{F13990385,height=195}|{F13990387,height=195}
We also check the areas of the bounding rectangle of the intersection, the ellipse (disk) light, and the spread circle, then draw samples from the smallest shape of the three. For ellipse light, this also detects where one shape lies inside the other. I am not sure if we should add this measure to rectangle area light and sample from the spread circle when it has smaller area, as we seem to have a better sampling technique for rectangular (uniformly sample the solid angle). Maybe we could add [area-preserving parameterization for spherical
ellipse](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1805.09048.pdf) in the future.
**Limitation**:
At some point we switch from sampling the ellipse to sampling the rectangle, depending on the area of the both, and there seems to be a visible line (with |slope| =1) on the final rendering
which demonstrate at which point we switch between the two methods. We could see that the new sampling method clearly has lower variance near the boundaries, but close to that visible line,
the rectangle sampling method seems to have larger variance. I could not spot any bug in the implementation, and I am not sure if this happens because different sampling patterns for ellipse and rectangle are used.

Always position the nodes added with the node search at the point where
the search operator was invoked by ensuring the operator context is the
main node editor region.
This was an unintended change of rBbdb57541475f, caused by the operator
now getting the cursor position in region space. So when the operator
was called from the menu, it would get the cursor position in the
region space of the menu, which lead to an offset when adding the node
since it expected the coordinates to be in the space of the node editor.
Setting the correct operator context also fixes inconsistent transform
sensitivity depending on zoom when adding nodes via the search in the
menu which has been an issue since as far back as Blender 2.79.

This patch builds on the work from bdb57541475f to add node group
assets directly in the node editor add menu. Assets are added after
separators to distinguish them, but otherwise they look like any other
node. The catalog trees from all configured libraries are used to build
the menu hierarchy. Only catalogs with matching asset types are used
though.
There are a few limitations of this initial version. For now this only
supports geometry nodes. Support for other built-in node systems just
requires some refactoring of the corresponding add menu though. Lazy
loading will be added in a followup commit. For now there is a label
the first time the menu is opened.
Like the search menu integration, re-saving asset library files in 3.4
is required, if it hasn't been done already.
Implementation wise, there is a some ugly code here. A lot of that is
because the asset system isn't complete. The RNA API doesn't work well
yet, and the system isn't built to interact with multiple libraries at
once. It's also ugly because of the way we combine automatic menu
generation with builtin menus. As noted in a code comment, these two
systems could be merged completely so that the menus for builtin nodes
are also generated in the same way.

Previously, the Blender video renderer did not have support for
encoding video to AV1 (not to be confused with the container AVI).
The proposed solution is to leverage the existing FFMpeg renderer
to encode to AV1.
Note that avcodec_find_encoder(AV_CODEC_ID_AV1) usually returns
"libaom-av1" which is the "reference implementation" for AV1 encoding
(the default for FFMpeg, and is slow). "libsvtav1" is faster and
preferred so there is extra handling when fetching the AV1 codec for
encoding such that "libsvtav1" is used when possible.
This commit should only affect the options available for video
rendering, which includes the additional AV1 codec to choose from, and
setting "-crf".
Also note that the current release of FFMpeg for ArchLinux does not
support "-crf" for "libsvtav1", but the equivalent option "-qp" is
supported and used as a fallback when "libsvtav1" is used (as
mentioned here: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AV1#SVT-AV1 ).
(Actually, both "-crf" and "-qp" is specified with the same value in
the code. When a release of FFMpeg obtains support for "-crf" for
"libsvtav1" is released, the code shouldn't be needed to change.)
The usage of the AV1 codec should be very similar to the usage of the
H264 codec, but is limited to the "mp4" and "mkv" containers.
This patch pertains to the "VFX & Video" module, as its main purpose
is to supplement the Video Sequencer tool with the additional AV1
codec for encoded video output.

This patch contains an initial set of nodes to access basic
mesh topology information, as explored in T100020.
The nodes allow six direct topology mappings for meshes:
- **Corner -> Face** The face a corner is in, the index in the face
- **Vertex -> Edge** Choose an edge attached to the vertex
- **Vertex -> Corner** Choose a corner attached to the vertex
- **Corner -> Edge** The next and previous edge at each face corner
- **Corner -> Vertex** The vertex associated with a corner
- **Corner -> Corner** Offset a corner index within a face
And two new topology mappings for curves:
- **Curve -> Points** Choose a point within a curve
- **Point -> Curve** The curve a point is in, the index in the curve
The idea is that some of the 16 possible mesh mappings are more
important, and that this is a useful set of nodes to start exploring
this area. For mappings with an arbitrary number of connections, we
must sort them and use an index to choose a single element, because
geometry nodes does not support list fields. Note that the sort
index has repeating behavior as it goes over the "Total" number of
connections, and negative sort indices choose from the end.
Currently which of the "start" elements is used is determined by the
field context, so the "Field at Index" and "Interpolate Domain" nodes
will be quite important. Also, currently the "Sort Index" inputs are
clamped to the number of connections.
One important feature that isn't implemented here is using the winding
order for the output elements. This can be a separate mode for some
of these nodes. It will be optional because of the performance impact.
There are several todos for separate commits after this:
- Rename "Control Point Neighbors" to be consistent with this naming
- Version away the "Vertex Neighbors" node which is fully redundant now
- Implement a special case for when no weights are used for performance
- De-duplicating some of the sorting logic between the nodes
- Improve performance and memory use of topology mappings
- Look into caching some of the mappings on meshes

This adds support for showing geometry passed to the Viewer in the 3d
viewport (instead of just in the spreadsheet). The "viewer geometry"
bypasses the group output. So it is not necessary to change the final
output of the node group to be able to see the intermediate geometry.
**Activation and deactivation of a viewer node**
* A viewer node is activated by clicking on it.
* Ctrl+shift+click on any node/socket connects it to the viewer and
makes it active.
* Ctrl+shift+click in empty space deactivates the active viewer.
* When the active viewer is not visible anymore (e.g. another object
is selected, or the current node group is exit), it is deactivated.
* Clicking on the icon in the header of the Viewer node toggles whether
its active or not.
**Pinning**
* The spreadsheet still allows pinning the active viewer as before.
When pinned, the spreadsheet still references the viewer node even
when it becomes inactive.
* The viewport does not support pinning at the moment. It always shows
the active viewer.
**Attribute**
* When a field is linked to the second input of the viewer node it is
displayed as an overlay in the viewport.
* When possible the correct domain for the attribute is determined
automatically. This does not work in all cases. It falls back to the
face corner domain on meshes and the point domain on curves. When
necessary, the domain can be picked manually.
* The spreadsheet now only shows the "Viewer" column for the domain
that is selected in the Viewer node.
* Instance attributes are visualized as a constant color per instance.
**Viewport Options**
* The attribute overlay opacity can be controlled with the "Viewer Node"
setting in the overlays popover.
* A viewport can be configured not to show intermediate viewer-geometry
by disabling the "Viewer Node" option in the "View" menu.
**Implementation Details**
* The "spreadsheet context path" was generalized to a "viewer path" that
is used in more places now.
* The viewer node itself determines the attribute domain, evaluates the
field and stores the result in a `.viewer` attribute.
* A new "viewer attribute' overlay displays the data from the `.viewer`
attribute.
* The ground truth for the active viewer node is stored in the workspace
now. Node editors, spreadsheets and viewports retrieve the active
viewer from there unless they are pinned.
* The depsgraph object iterator has a new "viewer path" setting. When set,
the viewed geometry of the corresponding object is part of the iterator
instead of the final evaluated geometry.
* To support the instance attribute overlay `DupliObject` was extended
to contain the information necessary for drawing the overlay.
* The ctrl+shift+click operator has been refactored so that it can make
existing links to viewers active again.
* The auto-domain-detection in the Viewer node works by checking the
"preferred domain" for every field input. If there is not exactly one
preferred domain, the fallback is used.
Known limitations:
* Loose edges of meshes don't have the attribute overlay. This could be
added separately if necessary.
* Some attributes are hard to visualize as a color directly. For example,
the values might have to be normalized or some should be drawn as arrays.
For now, we encourage users to build node groups that generate appropriate
viewer-geometry. We might include some of that functionality in future versions.
Support for displaying attribute values as text in the viewport is planned as well.
* There seems to be an issue with the attribute overlay for pointclouds on

This commit is an improvement in the previous fill tool
changes in order to improve how the extended strokes
are managed.
* Now, the algorithm checks if the extend cross a standard stroke, not only extend strokes.
* Option to enable or disable the stroke cross checking
because this can be slow in very complex scenes.
* Added `D` key to toggle stroke cross option.
* Option to use only collide strokes to be used as fill limit.
If the option to use only collide strokes is enabled, the
open extensions are in different color.
* Status text now shows mode and the actual extend factor.
This commits also contains a refactor of the loops
to use arrays as much as possible.

This patch replaces the existing transfer attribute node with three
nodes, "Sample Nearest Surface", "Sample Index", and "Sample Nearest".
This follows the design in T100010, allowing for new nodes like UV
sampling in the future. There is versioning so the new nodes replace
the old ones and are relinked as necessary.
The "Sample Nearest Surface" node is meant for the more complex
sampling algorithms that only work on meshes and interpolate
values inside of faces.
The new "Sample Index" just retrieves attributes from a geometry at
specific indices. It doesn't have implicit behavior like the old
transfer mode, which should make it more predictable. In order to not
change the behavior from existing files, the node has a has a "Clamp",
which is off by default for consistency with the "Field at Index" node.
The "Sample Nearest" node returns the index of the nearest element
on a geometry. It can be combined with the "Sample Index" node for
the same functionality as the old transfer node. This node can support
curves in the future.
Backwards compatibility is handled by versioning, but old versions can
not understand these nodes. The warning from 680fa8a523e0 should make
this explicit in 3.3 and earlier.

This is very similar to D14077. There are two differences though.
First is that vertex creases are already stored in a separate layer,
and second is that we can now completely remove use of `Mesh.cd_flag`,
since that information is now inherent to whether the layers exist.
There are two functional differences here:
* Operators are used to add and remove layers instead of a property.
* The "crease" attribute can be created and removed by geometry nodes.
The second change should make various geometry nodes slightly faster,
since the "crease" attribute was always processed before. Creases are
now interpolated generically in the CustomData API too, which should
help maintain the values across edits better.
Meshes get an `edge_creases` RNA property like the existing vertex
property, to provide more efficient access to the data in Cycles.
One test failure is expected, where different rounding between float
the old char storage means that 5 additional points are scattered in
a geometry nodes test.

Currently node group assets are supported, but using them by dragging
from the asset browser is cumbersome. This patch adds all node group
assets from user asset libraries and the current file libraries to the
add node search menu and the link drag search menu.
Node groups added through the search will have their "options" hidden,
meaning the data-block selector is displayed. This helps keep the UI
clean, and the selector shouldn't be necessary anyway.
To make that possible, metadata like the node tree type and its inputs
and outputs has to be saved in the file. This requires re-saving the
files that contain the assets with the patch applied.
The node add search operator is moved from Python to C++ to ease
development and allow more flexibility. It supports a tooltip that
gives the description of assets.
Currently the node groups are added with the asset system's existing
"Append & Reuse" behavior. It's likely that linking should be possible
in the future too, but for now the idea is to use the more foolproof
option that doesn't create dependencies between files.
Because loading assets can potentially take a long time, the search
menu refreshes its items as new assets are loaded. However, changing
the search field is necessary to see the update.

The motivation for this change: while working on an animation recently, I found that there are some gaps that won't close easily via stroke extension or leak size checking. In D14698, I attempted to address this by changing the algorithm of the raster-space flood fill. This patch attempts to address the same issue in vector space by adding two new cases where stroke extensions are added, as suggested by @frogstomp:
# **Points of high curvature:** when the curvature at a point is high enough that it's hard to visually distinguish between it and an endpoint, add a stroke extension out along the normal (pointing in the opposite direction of the stroke's acceleration.) This addresses cases where technically the endpoint points up, but there's a sharp corner right below it that should extend to connect.
# **Stroke endpoints within a radius**: when two endpoints are close together, regardless of the angle they make, connect them if they are within a radius. This addresses cases like where the two endpoints have effectively parallel tangents, so extensions won't close the gap.

compositor we also improved cryptomatte so it will be real-time. This also allows viewing
the cryptomatte passes in the viewport directly.
{F13482749}
A surface shader would store any active cryptomatte layer to a texture. Object hash is stored
as R, Asset hash as G and Material hash as B. Hashes are only calculated when the cryptomatte
layer is active to reduce any unneeded work.
During film accumulation the hashes are separated and stored in a texture array that matches
the cryptomatte standard. For the real-time use case sorting is skipped. For final rendering
the samples are sorted and normalized.
NOTE: Eventually we should also do sample normalization in the viewport in order to extract the correct
mask when using the viewport compositor.

As described in T95966, the goal is to move to a "struct of arrays"
approach rather than gathering an arbitrary set of data in hard-coded
structs. This has performance benefits, but also code complexity
benefits (this patch removes plenty of code, though the boilerplate
for the new operators outweighs that here).
To mirror the internal change, the options for storing mesh bevel
weights are converted into operators that add or remove the layer,
like for some other layers.
The most complex change is to the solidify modifier, where bevel
weights had special handling. Other than that, most changes are
removing clearing of the weights, boilerplate for the add/remove
operators, and removing the manual transfer of bevel weights
in bmesh - mesh conversion.
Eventually bevel weights can become a fully generic attribute,
but for now this patch aims to avoid most functional changes.
Bevel weights are still written and read from the mesh in the old way,
so neither forward nor backward compatibility are affected. As described
in T95965, writing in the old format will be done until 4.0.

This is a new implementation of the draw manager using modern
rendering practices and GPU driven culling.
This only ports features that are not considered deprecated or to be
removed.
The old DRW API is kept working along side this new one, and does not
interfeer with it. However this needed some more hacking inside the
draw_view_lib.glsl. At least the create info are well separated.
The reviewer might start by looking at `draw_pass_test.cc` to see the
API in usage.
Important files are `draw_pass.hh`, `draw_command.hh`,
`draw_command_shared.hh`.
In a nutshell (for a developper used to old DRW API):
- `DRWShadingGroups` are replaced by `Pass<T>::Sub`.
- Contrary to DRWShadingGroups, all commands recorded inside a pass or
sub-pass (even binds / push_constant / uniforms) will be executed in order.
- All memory is managed per object (except for Sub-Pass which are managed
by their parent pass) and not from draw manager pools. So passes "can"
potentially be recorded once and submitted multiple time (but this is
not really encouraged for now). The only implicit link is between resource
lifetime and `ResourceHandles`
- Sub passes can be any level deep.
- IMPORTANT: All state propagate from sub pass to subpass. There is no
state stack concept anymore. Ensure the correct render state is set before
drawing anything using `Pass::state_set()`.
- The drawcalls now needs a `ResourceHandle` instead of an `Object *`.
This is to remove any implicit dependency between `Pass` and `Manager`.
This was a huge problem in old implementation since the manager did not
know what to pull from the object. Now it is explicitly requested by the
engine.
- The pases need to be submitted to a `draw::Manager` instance which can
be retrieved using `DRW_manager_get()` (for now).
Internally:
- All object data are stored in contiguous storage buffers. Removing a lot
of complexity in the pass submission.
- Draw calls are sorted and visibility tested on GPU. Making more modern
culling and better instancing usage possible in the future.
- Unit Tests have been added for regression testing and avoid most API
breakage.
- `draw::View` now contains culling data for all objects in the scene
allowing caching for multiple views.
- Bounding box and sphere final setup is moved to GPU.
- Some global resources locations have been hardcoded to reduce complexity.
What is missing:
- ~~Workaround for lack of gl_BaseInstanceARB.~~ Done
- ~~Object Uniform Attributes.~~ Done (Not in this patch)
- Workaround for hardware supporting a maximum of 8 SSBO.

Since rB6269d66da, creating formats no longer depends solely on the

This allows 3D shaders to work flawlessly when assigned dimensions are
2D.
So there's no real benefit to us having shaders that are limited to 2D
use anymore.
This limitation makes it difficult to implement other builtin shaders
as they indirectly require a 2D version.
So this commit removes the 2D versions of the builtin sahders used in
Python , renames the string enums but keeps the old enums working for
backward compatibility.

This patch moves material indices from the mesh `MPoly` struct to a
generic integer attribute. The builtin material index was already
exposed in geometry nodes, but this makes it a "proper" attribute
accessible with Python and visible in the "Attributes" panel.
The goals of the refactor are code simplification and memory and
performance improvements, mainly because the attribute doesn't have
to be stored and processed if there are no materials. However, until
4.0, material indices will still be read and written in the old
format, meaning there may be a temporary increase in memory usage.
Further notes:
* Completely removing the `MPoly.mat_nr` after 4.0 may require
changes to DNA or introducing a new `MPoly` type.
* Geometry nodes regression tests didn't look at material indices,
so the change reveals a bug in the realize instances node that I fixed.
* Access to material indices from the RNA `MeshPolygon` type is slower
with this patch. The `material_index` attribute can be used instead.
* Cycles is changed to read from the attribute instead.
* BMesh isn't changed in this patch. Theoretically it could be though,
to save 2 bytes per face when less than two materials are used.
* Eventually we could use a 16 bit integer attribute type instead.

When allocating new `CustomData` layers, often we do redundant
initialization of arrays. For example, it's common that values are
allocated, set to their default value, and then set to some other
value. This is wasteful, and it negates the benefits of optimizations
to the allocator like D15082. There are two reasons for this. The
first is array-of-structs storage that makes it annoying to initialize
values manually, and the second is confusing options in the Custom Data
API. This patch addresses the latter.
The `CustomData` "alloc type" options are rearranged. Now, besides
the options that use existing layers, there are two remaining:
* `CD_SET_DEFAULT` sets the default value.
* Usually zeroes, but for colors this is white (how it was before).
* Should be used when you add the layer but don't set all values.
* `CD_CONSTRUCT` refers to the "default construct" C++ term.
* Only necessary or defined for non-trivial types like vertex groups.
* Doesn't do anything for trivial types like `int` or `float3`.
* Should be used every other time, when all values will be set.
The attribute API's `AttributeInit` types are updated as well.
To update code, replace `CD_CALLOC` with `CD_SET_DEFAULT` and
`CD_DEFAULT` with `CD_CONSTRUCT`. This doesn't cause any functional
changes yet. Follow-up commits will change to avoid initializing
new layers where the correctness is clear.
