This struct is currently defined in the `functions` module but not actually used there. It's only used by the geometry nodes module, with an indirect dependency from blenkernel via simulation zone baking. This scope is problematic when adding grids as socket data, which should not be part of the functions module.
The `ValueOrField` struct is now moved to blenkernel, so it can be more easily extended to other kinds of data that might be passed around by geometry nodes sockets in future. No functional changes.

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.
Move `GeometrySet` and `GeometryComponent` and subclasses
to the `blender::bke` namespace. This wasn't done earlier since
these were one of the first C++ classes used throughout Blender,
but now it is common.
Also remove the now-unnecessary C-header, since all users of
the geometry set header are now in C++.

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/
Previously, the lifetimes of anonymous attributes were determined by
reference counts which were non-deterministic when multiple threads
are used. Now the lifetimes of anonymous attributes are handled
more explicitly and deterministically. This is a prerequisite for any kind
of caching, because caching the output of nodes that do things
non-deterministically and have "invisible inputs" (reference counts)
doesn't really work.
For more details for how deterministic lifetimes are achieved, see D16858.
No functional changes are expected. Small performance changes are expected
as well (within few percent, anything larger regressions should be reported as
bugs).

* Support bidirectional type lookups. E.g. finding the base type of a
field was supported, but not the other way around. This also removes
the todo in `get_vector_type`. To achieve this, types have to be
registered up-front.
* Separate `CPPType` from other "type traits". For example, previously
`ValueOrFieldCPPType` adds additional behavior on top of `CPPType`.
Previously, it was a subclass, now it just contains a reference to the
`CPPType` it corresponds to. This follows the composition-over-inheritance
idea. This makes it easier to have self-contained "type traits" without
having to put everything into `CPPType`.
