Curve Deform Node: Working deform for positive axes, stretch to fit option

Dummy attribute sockets for a few nodes.

This is just for proposal screenshots and conceptual testing,
the nodes in question have been disabled to avoid crashes.

Fix previous Cycles X OIDN change

Seems that device needs to be recreated as well (preventing
crash), as well as initial commit missed assignment of the
cached configuration.

Maybe there is a way to "remove" images from filter without
re-creating the filter?

Cycles X: restore homogeneous volume absorption

This is a first step towards bringing back volume scattering. Almost nothing
works yet, no scattering, heterogeneous media, cameras inside volumes, etc.

Fix possible use of stalled data in Cycles X OIDN denoiser

The denoiser object is only re-created if denoiser type changes.
Need to manually ensure implementation is up-to-date with the
new parameters.

Solves possible issues with denoiser using image from previous
execution (in viewport render, enable normal pass, then disable
it).

Merge branch 'master' into cycles_procedural_api

Fix pass offset calculation in Cycles X

Caused by recent refactor.

In the typical load did not notice that name could be empty:
happens when Combined pass is replaced with Shadow Catcher Matte.

Additionally, return PASS_UNUSED for passes which are not written.

Finish first pass of enhanced stats/reports for file loading.

adaptive_cloth: run BKE_cloth_remesh() when remesh flag is on

Change default_value_vector length to 3.

Minor fix : Correct calculation of nearest UDIM

Corrects the logic for calculating the distance between selected UVs and
UDIM tiles

Universal default value for attribute sockets.

This supports all the valid data types for attribute sockets:
float, int, bool, vector, color.

Type of default value can be changed by setting the "data_type" property
of the socket. Set to SOCK_ATTRIBUTE to make it a generic attribute
without a default value.

Cleanup: removed unused data structures from old integrator

Refactor: Draw Cache: use 'BLI_task_parallel_range'

This is an adaptation of {D11488}.

A disadvantage of manually setting the iter ranges per thread is that
we don't know how many threads are running in the background and so we
don't know how to best distribute the ranges.

To solve this limitation we can use `parallel_reduce` and thus let the
driver choose the best distribution of ranges among the threads.

This proved to be especially beneficial for computers with few cores.

**Notes:**
- The improvement can only be noticed if all extracts are multithreaded.
- This patch touches different areas of the code, so it can be split into another patch if the idea is accepted.

Refactor: use 'BLI_task_parallel_range' in Draw Cache

One drawback to trying to predict the number of threads that will be
used in the `task_graph` is that we are only sure of the number when the
threads are running.

Using `BLI_task_parallel_range` allows the driver to
choose the best thread distribution through `parallel_reduce`.

The benefit is most evident on hardware with fewer cores.

Sequencer: Do not redraw during playback.

When using large sequences including audio the drawing of the audio on
top of the strip takes a lot of time. This effects the playback
performance heavily.

During the animation playback performance there was a solution for this
by only drawing the playhead overlay. This was reverted for the sequence
editor as it didn't update the color strips when they were animated.

This patch checks if there are animated color strips if so the full
screen is redrawn, otherwise only the playhead is redrawn.

Performance: Use parallel range for ImBuf scanline processor.

Scanline processor did its own heurestic what didn't scale well when
having a multiple cores. In stead of using our own code this patch will
leave it to TBB to determine how to split the scanlines over the
available threads.

Performance of the IMB_transform before this change was 0.002123s, with
this change 0.001601s. This change increases performance in other areas
as well including color management conversions.

Nodes: cache socket identifier to index mapping

While this preprocessing does take some time upfront,
it avoids longer lookup later on, especially as nodes get
more sockets.

It's probably possible to make this more efficient in some cases
but this is good enough for now.

Fix T89033: segfault reordering animation channels

Fix segmentation fault that can occur when reordering animation
channels.

Under some specific conditions, the list "act->curves" is empty in the
"join_groups_action_temp" function. In particular, this happens when a
scene contains an action that has not been pushed down, and with no
keyframe in it.
