Also see #103343.
Couldn't move two files yet:
* `softbody.c`: The corresponding regression test fails. It seems like the
conversion to C++ changes floating point accuracy, but it's not clear where that happens exactly.
* `writeffmpeg.c`: Is a bit more complex to convert because of the static array in `av_err2str`.

There's quite a few libraries that depend on dna_type_offsets.h
but had gotten to it by just adding the folder that contains it to
their includes INC section without declaring a dependency to
bf_dna in the LIB section.
which occasionally lead to the lib building before bf_dna and the
header being missing, while this generally gets fixed in CMake by
adding bf_dna to the LIB section of the lib, however until last
week all libraries in the LIB section were linked as INTERFACE so
adding it in there did not resolve the build issue.
To make things still build, we sprinkled add_dependencies wherever
we needed it to force a build order.
This diff :
Declares public include folders for the bf_dna target so there's
no more fudging the INC section required to get to them.
Removes all dna related paths from the INC section for all
libraries.
Adds an alias target bf:dna to signify it has been updated to
modern cmake
Declares a dependency on bf::dna for all libraries that require it
Removes (almost) all calls to add_dependencies for bf_dna
Future work:
Because of the manual dependency management that was done, there is
now some "clutter" with libs depending on bf_dna that realistically
don't. Example bf_intern_opencolorio itself has no dependency on
bf_dna at all, doesn't need it, doesn't use it. However the
dna include folder had been added to it in the past since bf_blenlib
uses dna headers in some of its public headers and
bf_intern_opencolorio does use those blenlib headers.
Given bf_blenlib now correctly declares the dependency on bf_dna
as public bf_intern_opencolorio will get the dna header directory
automatically from CMake, hence some cleanup could be done for
bf_intern_opencolorio
Because 99% of the changes in this diff have been automated, this diff
does not seek to address these issues as there is no easy way to
determine why a certain dependency is in place. A developer will have
to make a pass a this at some later point in time. As I'd rather not
mix automated and manual labour.
There are a few libraries that could not be automatically processed
(ie bf_blendthumb) that also will need this manual look-over.

More consistently return geometry bounds with the `Bounds` type that
holds the min and max in one variable. This simplifies some code and
reduces the need to initialize separate min and max variables first.
Meshes now use the same `bounds_min_max()` function as curves and
point clouds, though the wrapper mesh isn't affected yet.
The motivation is to make some of the changes for #96968 simpler.
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:

For derived mesh triangulation information, currently the three face
corner indices are stored in the same struct as index of the mesh
polygon the triangle is part of. While those pieces of information are
often used together, they often aren't, and combining them prevents
the indices from being used with generic utilities. It also means that
1/3 more memory has to be written when recalculating the triangulation
after deforming the mesh, and that the entire triangle data has to be
read when only the polygon indices are needed.
This commit splits the polygon index into a separate cache on `Mesh`.
The triangulation data isn't saved to files, so this doesn't affect
.blend files at all.
In a simple test deforming a mesh with geometry nodes, the time used
to recalculate the triangulation reduced from 2.0 ms to 1.6 ms,
increasing overall FPS from 14.6 to 15.

Add the ability to retrieve implicit sharing info directly from the
C++ attribute API, which simplifies memory usage and performance
optimizations making use of it. This commit uses the additions to
the API to avoid copies in a few places:
- The "rest_position" attribute in the mesh modifier stack
- Instance on Points node
- Instances to points node
- Mesh to points node
- Points to vertices node
Many files are affected because in order to include the new information
in the API's returned data, I had to switch a bunch of types from
`VArray` to `AttributeReader`. This generally makes sense anyway, since
it allows retrieving the domain, which wasn't possible before in some
cases. I overloaded the `*` deference operator for some syntactic sugar
to avoid the (very ugly) `.varray` that would be necessary otherwise.

Implements #95966, as the final step of #95965.
This commit changes the storage of mesh edge vertex indices from the
`MEdge` type to the generic `int2` attribute type. This follows the
general design for geometry and the attribute system, where the data
storage type and the usage semantics are separated.
The main benefit of the change is reduced memory usage-- the
requirements of storing mesh edges is reduced by 1/3. For example,
this saves 8MB on a 1 million vertex grid. This also gives performance
benefits to any memory-bound mesh processing algorithm that uses edges.
Another benefit is that all of the edge's vertex indices are
contiguous. In a few cases, it's helpful to process all of them as
`Span<int>` rather than `Span<int2>`. Similarly, the type is more
likely to match a generic format used by a library, or code that
shouldn't know about specific Blender `Mesh` types.
Various Notes:
- The `.edge_verts` name is used to reflect a mapping between domains,
similar to `.corner_verts`, etc. The period means that it the data
shouldn't change arbitrarily by the user or procedural operations.
- `edge[0]` is now used instead of `edge.v1`
- Signed integers are used instead of unsigned to reduce the mixing
of signed-ness, which can be error prone.
- All of the previously used core mesh data types (`MVert`, `MEdge`,
`MLoop`, `MPoly` are now deprecated. Only generic types are used).
- The `vec2i` DNA type is used in the few C files where necessary.
