Custom Data: support implicit sharing for custom data layers This integrates the new implicit-sharing system (from fbcddfcd68adc72f) with `CustomData`. Now the potentially long arrays referenced by custom data layers can be shared between different systems but most importantly between different geometries. This makes e.g. copying a mesh much cheaper because none of the attributes has to be copied. Only when an attribute is modified does it have to be copied. Also see the original design task: #95845. This reduces memory and improves performance by avoiding unnecessary data copies. For example, the used memory after loading a highly subdivided mesh is reduced from 2.4GB to 1.79GB. This is about 25% less which is the expected amount because in `main` there are 4 copies of the data: 1. The original data which is allocated when the file is loaded. 2. The copy for the depsgraph allocated during depsgraph evaluation. 3. The copy for the undo system allocated when the first undo step is created right after loading the file. 4. GPU buffers allocated for drawing. This patch only gets rid of copy number 2 for the depsgraph. In theory the other copies can be removed as part of follow up PRs as well though. ----- The patch has three main components: * Slightly modified `CustomData` API to make it work better with implicit sharing: * `CD_REFERENCE` and `CD_DUPLICATE` have been removed because they are meaningless when implicit-sharing is used. * `CD_ASSIGN` has been removed as well because it's not an allocation type anyway. The functionality of using existing arrays as custom data layers has not been removed though. * This can still be done with `CustomData_add_layer_with_data` which also has a new argument that allows passing in information about whether the array is shared. * `CD_FLAG_NOFREE` has been removed because it's no longer necessary. It only existed because of `CD_REFERENCE`. * `CustomData_copy` and `CustomData_merge` have been split up into a functions that do copy the actual attribute values and those that do not. The latter functions now have the `_layout` suffix (e.g. `CustomData_copy_layout`). * Changes in `customdata.cc` to make it actually use implicit-sharing. * Changes in various other files to adapt to the changes in `BKE_customdata.h`.
