Since there is no special case for drawing redo panel, this callback is
not required. Panel will be generated automatically because `undo` and `register`
flags are added to operator.
This improves alignment in redo panel.

Previously, we haven't added this because there were plans to use these
declarations at a higher abstraction level where one declaration potentially
contains more than one socket. This hasn't happened yet, and we are also using
other ways to achieve dynamic socket amounts (using dynamic declarations).
Therefore, it is reasonable to simplify the code by storing the integer socket
type in the declaration directly.

Those shouldn't really exist at all currently, since we forbid them in 354915cf3c.
Unfortunately, not all cases were removed, and many node trees with such sockets
have been created during the development of 4.1 due to the auto-smooth changes.
I'm not entirely sure if it's still possible to properly remove them now. The commit
above mentions that we might lose links due to changed identifiers. Maybe we're
better off just supporting these inlined sockets while also allowing the "align with
previous socket" functionality.
Either way, not creating more of such node trees for now is reasonable, since we
explicitly disabled that functionality for now.

UI would sometimes disappear with the Metal backend.
This occured in situations where there was only a single
GPUContext within a single GHOST window, meaning
the activation routine for the context was never run.
Context activation is required to ensure the backbuffer
was up to date upon resize. Otherwise, re-sizing the
window would cause the screen to turn grey as the
new drawables would not be rendered to.

Since [0] some comments referencing UI_MAX_NAME_STR were incorrect.
Also correct buffer size for preview_id in uiTemplatePreview so newly
created names are guarantee to be the correct size.

- Prefix comments before members is used practically everywhere,
remove C99 syntax from inside comments.
- Replace double quotes with backticks for code styling.
The list identifier includes the class name and an list_id,
see: WM_uilisttype_to_full_list_id
This requires using UI_MAX_NAME_STR (as noted in doc-string).
This PR strips the `sculpt_gesture_trim` prefix and other similar
prefixes from the `sculpt_trim.cc` code, as it is already contained
within the `blender::ed::sculpt_paint::trim` namespace.

Not quite a 1:1 match, some customizations have to be made for the API URL differences and the face that there are no translations.
This also enables the version switch publicly now that this change fixes a few bugs.
Converting a color attribute to a non-color domain or type causes vertex
paint mode to try to change the attribute even though it's unsupported.
That leads to a crash here and unpredictable behavior elsewhere.
This PR modifies some poll functions to check for the proper domain and
data type before continuing. Even if converting an attribute properly
updates the active color attribute, we can still run into situations where
the active name references an attribute with incorrect metadata.

This uses Spherical Harmonics to store the indirect lighting and
distant lighting visibility.
We can then reuse this information for each closure which divide
the cost of it by 2 or 3 in many cases, doing the scanning once.
The storage cost is higher than previous method, so we split the
resolution scaling to be independant of raytracing.
The spatial filtering has been split to its own pass for performance
reason. Upsampling now only uses 4 bilinearly interpolated samples
(instead of 9) using bilateral weights to avoid bleeding.
This also add a missing dot product (which soften the lighting
around corners) and fixes the blocky artifacts seen at lower
resolution.

This adds the approximation of phase function convolution
of the distant lighting captured inside probe volumes.
This is based on a publication at siggraph from Bartlomiej Wronsky
"Volumetric Fog: Unified compute shader based solution to
atmospheric scattering"
Implementation is quite straightforward. However this isn't as
good as one can expect as there isn't self shadowing from the
volume themself, so the lighting is still quite flat.
To fix this, we have to add support for volumetrics inside
probe volumes baking. But this approach would still be static
so a more general solution is still to be found for dynamic
volumes like smoke simulations.

For spherical spot light, when the shading point is close to the light
source, we switch to sampling the light spread instead of the visible
cone from the shading point. This has the benefit of less noise when the
spread is small.
However, the light spread sampling was not considering non-uniform
object scaling, where the actual spread might be different.
This patch switches sampling method only when the smallest enclosing
spread cone is smaller than the visible cone from the shading point.
An alternative method would be to compute the actual solid angle of the
scaled cone, and sample from the scaled cone. However, that involves
ray transformation and modifying the sampling pdf and angle. Since
non-uniform scaling is rather a niche case, it's probably not worth the
computation effort.

This improves performance by **reducing** the amounts of threads used for tasks
which require a high memory bandwidth.
This works because the underlying hardware has a certain maximum memory
bandwidth. If that is used up by a few threads already, any additional threads
wanting to use a lot of memory will just cause more contention which actually
slows things down. By reducing the number of threads that can perform certain
tasks, the remaining threads are also not locked up doing work that they can't
do efficiently. It's best if there is enough scheduled work so that these tasks
can do more compute intensive tasks instead.
To use this new functionality, one has to put the parallel code in question into
a `threading::memory_bandwidth_bound_task(...)` block. Additionally, one also
has to provide a (very) rough approximation for how many bytes are accessed. If
the number is low, the number of threads shouldn't be reduced because it's
likely that all touched memory can be in L3 cache which generally has a much
higher bandwidth than main memory.
The exact number of threads that are allowed to do bandwidth bound tasks at the
same time is generally highly context and hardware dependent. It's also not
really possible to measure reliably because it depends on so many static and
dynamic factors. The thread count is now hardcoded to 8. It seems that this many
threads are easily capable of maxing out the bandwidth capacity.
With this technique I can measure surprisingly good performance improvements:
* Generating a 3000x3000 grid: 133ms -> 103ms.
* Generating a mesh line with 100'000'000 vertices: 212ms -> 189ms.
* Realize mesh instances resulting in ~27'000'000 vertices: 460ms -> 305ms.
In all of these cases, only 8 instead of 24 threads are used. The remaining
threads are idle in these cases, but they could do other work if available.

This uses parallel reduction when doing the octahedral map re-mapping.
The goal is not the speedup but the accuracy of the computation (temporal
stability) and to pave the way for sunlight extraction.
This weight each individual samples using texel solid angle for correct
energy.
After optimization, the cost is not so expensive (1024px² octahedral map):
- new: 263µs remap + 12µs sum
- old: 75µs remap + 180µs irradiance update
We could optimize it more, but that feels unecessary given that the first
two filter pass are 7ms and a more pressing optimization.
The old irradiance update was fast because it was using the mip2 which
was already pre-filtered and using way less pixels (which already yield a
temporally stable output).
This new implementation does consider all pixel in the LOD0 which will
allow for more precise sunlight extraction.
This also comes with a cleanup of the update tagging.

Simplifies/optimizes the "font" shader. It runs faster now too, but primarily
this is so that it loads/initializes faster.
* Instead of doing blur via individual bilinear samples (where each sample is 4
texel fetches), do raw texel fetches of the kernel footprint and compute final
result by shifting the kernel weights according to bilinear fraction weight.
For 5x5 blur, this reduces number of texel fetches from 64 down to 36.
* Instead of checking "is the texel inside the glyph box? if so, then fetch it",
first fetch it, and then set result to zero if it was outside. Simplifies the
branching code flow in the compiled GPU shader.
* Avoid costly integer modulo/division for "unwrapping" the font texture. The
texture width is always power of two size, so division/modulo can be replaced
by masking and a shift. Setup uniforms to contain the needed data.
### Fixes
* The 3x3 blur was not doing a 3x3 blur, due to a copy-pasta typo (one of the
sample offsets was repeated twice, and thus another sample offset was
missing).
* Blur towards left/top edges of the glyphs had artifacts, because float->int
casting in GLSL rounds towards zero, but the code actually wanted to round
towards floor.
Image of how the blur has changed in the PR.
### First time initialization
* Windows 10, NVIDIA RTX 3080Ti, OpenGL: 274.4ms -> 51.3ms
* macOS, Apple M1 Max, Metal: 456ms -> 289ms (this is including PSO creation
time).
### Shader performance/complexity
Performance I only measured on macOS (M1 Max), by making a BLF text that is
scaled up to cover most of screen via Python. Using Xcode Metal profiler,
drawing that text with 5x5 shadow blur: 1.5ms -> 0.3ms.
More performance analysis details in PR.

Don't assume armature of active object is what is displayed in the properties editor, both in C++ and Python code.
Object pointer was left out from some notifiers, as this means only that object was changed. But an armature datablock can be shared by multiple objects.
