Part of overall "improve image filtering situation" (#116980), this PR addresses
two issues:
- Bilinear (default) image filtering makes half a source pixel wide transparent
border around the image. This is very noticeable when scaling images/movies up
in VSE. However, when there is no scaling up but you have slightly rotated
image, this creates a "somewhat nice" anti-aliasing around the edge.
- The other filtering kinds (e.g. cubic) do not have this behavior. So they do
not create unexpected transparency when scaling up (yay), however for slightly
rotated images the edge is "jagged" (oh no).

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.
The issue is visible on Apple Silicon when building Cycles.
Cycles includes sse2neon.h via two code paths: own CPU headers and
Blender's headers. The Blender headers will request higher precision
defines and Cycles does not need it (not for the kernel anyway, as
it has measurable performance penalty).
The solution is to wrap defines in the BLI_simd.h with check, so
that the flags are not re-defined.
The Blender's integration in Cycles does not really care if those
operations are precise or not, as the actual computations are done
elsewhere.

After some recent changes BLI_math_base got (indirectly) included
from DNA file, causing defines conflict in Cycles: Cycles wants the
default fast behavior of square root, and BLI color wants it to be
more preciese.
Proposed solution is to move the SSE block away from the math_base
closer to code which uses it. The initial intent was to make those
functions reusable, but for a long long time the color utilities
are the only users of those functions.
This change does not prevent the error from re-occurring in the
future if some code includes sse2neon and BLI color utilities, but
it makes such conflict situation much less likely to happen, for
now.
The downside of this change is that the code now need to include
BLI_simd.h explicitly to access BLI_HAVE_SSE2 instead of relying
on it being included indirectly with math headers. The mitigation
for this is to change semantic of the BLI_HAVE_SSE2: now it is
defined to 1 if SSE2 is supported and to 0 otherwise. This makes
it so the code needs to check if using `#if BLI_HAVE_SSE2` and
if the BLI_simd.h is not included it will generate warning when
using GCC or Clang.
This change in semantic is is something the current patches would
need to ensure is handled correctly.

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/
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.

* WITH_CPU_SSE was renamed to WITH_CPU_SIMD, and now covers both SSE and Neon.
* For macOS sse2neon.h is included as part of the precompiled libraries.
* For Linux it is enabled if the sse2neon.h header file is detected. However
this library does not have official releases and is not shipped with any Linux
distribution, so manual installation and configuration is required to get this
working.
