When an object uses linked mesh data and the object and the modifier
node group are made local after versioning runs for the first time,
a new modifier is added every time the file is opened. An obvious
fix is to check whether there is already a modifier with the versioning
node group. In that case we can skip the object.
This doesn't fully fix the scenario from #120030; it requires that
the node group is made local so it doesn't leave a reference to
a non-existent library data-block.
The issue from the bug report mentions that the `Limit Rotation` constraint snaps
back to 0 when reaching 180 degrees with a min and max of 0 / 180.
The root cause of this goes a bit deeper though. Because the following also snaps back to 0.
* min max of 0 / 360
* angle of 185
The reason for this is that the clamping logic in the constraint was very simple.
It just took the matrix, decomposed it to euler and clamped the values directly.
However in that process, the euler angles are bound to a range of -180 / 180,
which means that any angle >= 180 would snap back to the min.

Tune Metal compilation parameters for horizon scan
shaders for optimal performance. Selectively unrolling
loops and modifying compilation heuristics results in a
~25% uplift in tracing shader performance, due to
improved latency management.

The GPv3 tint modifier will give incorrect result in fill tint due to
two reasons: 1) The material index being wrong; 2) The default value
for `fill_color` attribute needs to be explicitly assigned as
`ColorGeometry4f(float4(0.0f))` to ensure correct color mixing and
switching between fill/material color in the tint modifier.

Blend files with compositor node trees saves in 4.2 do not work in older
version. This is because 4.2 removed the chunk size property of the node
tree, so it is set to zero, which is invalid in older versions. To fix
this, we add it again as a deprecated DNA member, and set it to default
value upon write.

The File Output node always has inputs of type Color regardless of the
type of the connected socket. This is because the socket type update
mechanism no longer works, so the default socket type persisted.
This is a regression due to 4a4916db45, where the RNA set function no
longer allows editing socket types for built-in nodes, and the File
Output node utilized the RNA set function. To fix this, we avoid the RNA
route and set the type directly.
This fix is related to #120175 and partially fixes it, though another
fix is still necessary.

The File Output node produces wrong output when the output is set to BW.
This is because the image saving logic assumes float buffers always have
4 channels and ignores the image buffer channels member. So for single
channel images, the code weighted sum neighbouring pixels and asigned
them as a single pixel, producing bleeding at best and crashes at worst.
To fix this, we skip Color to BW conversion if the image is already BW.
And, we fix the functions that assume 4 channels for float buffers.

Previously, md5 was used which is significantly slower. In almost all cases
this does not have a significant performance impact in practice. However,
it's possible to build geometry nodes setups that become a few percent
faster ( by combining lots of cheap node groups). Using xxhash instead of
md5 should never be slower.

4b427e1b57 confused `unode->maxgrid` and `unode->grids.size()`
which is the number of all grids in the mesh. A follow-up commit will
rename `maxgrid` to make that clearer.
This was caused by ab84f9eaf0.
The issue is that setting the flag in the `TreeNode`
constructor means that the root group will always
hide masks when its created. This effectively disables
masks in the entire object.
Instead, leave the default flag to be `0` (masks enabled)
and explicitly set the `HIDE_MASKS` flag when
creating a new layer/layer group.

It is not immediately clear why DDS compressed (DXT/S3TC) textures need
to be power of two in size (since nothing in DXT/S3TC intrinsically
requires that). It is only needed due to the "flip the texture upside
down" dance that we do for DDS at load time.
While at it, when logging DXT related messages, tell which texture
was it for, and dimensions. This changes logs like:
```
Unable to load non-power-of-two DXT image resolution, falling back to uncompressed.
Unable to load non-power-of-two DXT image resolution, falling back to uncompressed.
Unable to find a suitable DXT compression, falling back to uncompressed.

Implements the GPv2 onion skinning functionality.
There are no functional changes exept for the `use_ghosts_always`
option, which has been removed. This was used to show onion
skinning in the final render.

After some discussions and investigation over the last couple months,
it's not clear what the "wrapper type finalize" logic is necessary for.
For edit meshes and regular meshes, normals are calculated lazily when
building the draw cache.
Apart from the unnecessary complication for mesh GPU draw data
extraction, this code also causes normals to always be calculated
when turning an edit mesh wrapper into a regular mesh. However, those
normals are immediately discarded since the edit deform cache is deleted
in the next line.
Beyond the obvious simplification, the motivation for this change is to
avoid requesting write access on the evaluated mesh and cage mesh. This
works better with implicit sharing, allowing other improvements.

Avoid copying the positions array into the evaluated edit hints array
that's used to support editing with deformed positions when there is
a topology-changing procedural operation. In a simple test in sculpt
mode with 706k curve points, memory usage went from 78 to 70 MB.
This adds more duplication would be ideal, mainly because retrieving
the data with write access and making implicit sharing info for arbitrary
arrays aren't abstracted by implicit sharing utilities. It may be possible
to improve both of those aspects, either now or in the future.

`xxHash` is a fast non-cryptographic hashing library. It significantly outperforms
md5 which we use in some places currently while also having great collision
resistance if not attacked explicitly.
The library is added to `extern` because that was the easiest way to do it and has
the least impact on others. I expect this library to become a required dependency
instead of an optional one. It's licence is `BSD 2-Clause` which seems to be the
first of its kind in Blender (there is `BSD 3-Clause` a couple of times).
For now, I used the library only for data deduplication when baking geometry nodes
where the same geometry is generated for each frame. The bake time in my test
goes down from >6s to <1s (note that this includes more than just the hashing time).

after alignment, the rgb_frame's linesize is not equal to the actual
data length, so when copying the data generated from render to the
rgb_frame, they should use different linesize, one after alignment
and one before alignment.
