Implement the next phases of bounds improvement design #96968.
Mainly the following changes:
Don't use `Object.runtime.bb` for performance caching volume bounds.
This is redundant with the cache in most geometry data-block types.
Instead, this becomes `Object.runtime.bounds_eval`, and is only used
where it's actually needed: syncing the bounds from the evaluated
geometry in the active depsgraph to the original object.
Remove all redundant functions to access geometry bounds with an
Object argument. These make the whole design confusing, since they
access geometry bounds at an object level.
Use `std::optional<Bounds<float3>>` to pass and store bounds instead
of an allocated `BoundBox` struct. This uses less space, avoids
small heap allocations, and generally simplifies code, since we
usually only want the min and max anyway.
After this, to avoid performance regressions, we should also cache
bounds in volumes, and maybe the legacy curve and GP data types
(though it might not be worth the effort for those legacy types).

Currently object bounds (`object.runtime.bb`) are lazily initialized
when accessed. This access happens from arbitrary threads, and
is unprotected by a mutex. This can cause access to stale data at
best, and crashes at worst. Eager calculation is meant to keep this
working, but it's fragile.
Since e8f4010611, geometry bounds are cached in the geometry
itself, which makes this object-level cache redundant. So, it's clearer
to build the `BoundBox` from those cached bounds and return it by
value, without interacting with the object's cached bounding box.
The code change is is mostly a move from `const BoundBox *` to
`std::optional<BoundBox>`. This is only one step of a larger change
described in #96968. Followup steps would include switching to
a simpler and smaller `Bounds` type, removing redundant object-
level access, and eventually removing `object.runtime.bb`.
Access of bounds from the object for mesh, curves, and point cloud
objects should now be thread-safe. Other object types still lazily
initialize the object `BoundBox` cache since they don't have
a data-level cache.

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/
Implicit sharing means attribute ownership is shared between geometry
data-blocks, and the sharing happens automatically. So it's unnecessary
to choose whether to enable it when copying a mesh.
This mirrors the C++ attribute API better, separates the implementation
of attributes from CustomData slightly, and makes functions simpler,
clearer, and safer.
Also fix an issue with removing an attribute caused by 97712b018d
meant the first attribute with the given type was removed instead of
the attribute with the given name.
The general idea here is to wrap the `CurvesGeometry` DNA struct
with a C++ class that can do most of the heavy lifting for the curve
geometry. Using a C++ class allows easier ways to group methods, easier
const correctness, and code that's more readable and faster to write.
This way, it works much more like a version of `CurveEval` that uses
more efficient attribute storage.
This commit adds the structure of some yet-to-be-implemented code,
the largest thing being mutexes and vectors meant to hold lazily
calculated evaluated positions, tangents, and normals. That part might
change slightly, but it's helpful to be able to see the direction this
commit is aiming in. In particular, the inherently single-threaded
accumulated lengths and Bezier evaluated point offsets might be cached.

Use a shorter/simpler license convention, stops the header taking so
much space.
Follow the SPDX license specification: https://spdx.org/licenses
- C/C++/objc/objc++
- Python
- Shell Scripts
- CMake, GNUmakefile
While most of the source tree has been included
- `./extern/` was left out.
- `./intern/cycles` & `./intern/atomic` are also excluded because they
use different header conventions.
doc/license/SPDX-license-identifiers.txt has been added to list SPDX all
used identifiers.
See P2788 for the script that automated these edits.

Based on discussions from T95355 and T94193, the plan is to use
the name "Curves" to describe the data-block container for multiple
curves. Eventually this will replace the existing "Curve" data-block.
However, it will be a while before the curve data-block can be replaced
so in order to distinguish the two curve types in the UI, "Hair Curves"
will be used, but eventually changed back to "Curves".
This patch renames "hair-related" files, functions, types, and variable
names to this convention. A deep rename is preferred to keep code
consistent and to avoid any "hair" terminology from leaking, since the
new data-block is meant for all curve types, not just hair use cases.
The downside of this naming is that the difference between "Curve"
and "Curves" has become important. That was considered during
design discussons and deemed acceptable, especially given the
non-permanent nature of the somewhat common conflict.
Some points of interest:
- All DNA compatibility is lost, just like rBf59767ff9729.
- I renamed `ID_HA` to `ID_CV` so there is no complete mismatch.
- `hair_curves` is used where necessary to distinguish from the
existing "curves" plural.
- I didn't rename any of the cycles/rendering code function names,
since that is also used by the old hair particle system.
