Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:
https://reuse.software/faq/
For example
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver()
{
}
```
becomes
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver() {}
```
Saves quite some vertical space, which is especially handy for
constructors.

Generally we don't want to do per-element operations on these spans
because of the overhead of the runtime type system, but these operations
on the whole span avoid ugly pointer arithmetic in other areas.
`GSpan` and spans based on virtual arrays were not default constructible
before, which made them hard to use sometimes. It's generally fine for
spans to be empty.
The main thing the keep in mind is that the type pointer in `GSpan` may
be null now. Generally, code receiving spans as input can assume that
the type is not-null, but sometimes that may be valid. The old #type() method
that returned a reference to the type still exists. It asserts when the
type is null.
This commit re-implements the resample curve node to use the new curves
type instead of CurveEval. The largest changes come from the need to
keep track of offsets into the point attribute arrays, and the fact
that the attributes for all curves are stored in a flat array.
Another difference is that a bit more of the logic is handled by
building of the field network inputs. The idea is to let the field
evaluator handle potential optimizations while making the rest of the
code simpler.
When resampling 1 million small poly curves,the node is about 6
times faster compared to 3.1 on my hardware (500ms to 80ms).
This also adds support for Catmull Rom curve inputs.
