Cycles: upgrade to OptiX SDK version 7.1 on buildbot

This means that NVIDIA driver version 450 or newer is now required for Cycles
OptiX rendering. This upgrade is required to take advantage of new features and
improvements.

Ref T81431

Fix NLA liboverride issues re tracks handling.

From original rBc0bd240ad0a1 commit, issues reported with suggested
fixes by Wayde Moss (@GuiltyGhost), thx.

Fix T84515: Status bar is reporting the average solve error of the wrong tracking object

Fix T83122: NURBS Extruding multiple points only moves existing points

The Surface -> Nurbs Curve behaves now like the Curve -> Nurbs Curve,
if you initially select less than all points. So, multiple points can
be selected and extruded which just moves the selected points similar
to Curve -> Nurbs Curve object.

Fix T84593: Operators on material (linked to local object but with
linked obdata) fail

Caused by rB1a650fdcb286.

Above commit made polling more restricitive in that it did not allow for
actions on material slots (linked to object, not object data) on objects
with liked object data. This should be allowed though.

Fix T84455: Circle select tool cursor draws in overlapping regions

UI: Icon for Multires Displacement Smear Tool

This commit adds the icon for the new tool.

UI: Update geometry icon files

None of these changes should be visible, but the files were somehow
out of sync with the blend file, so they need to be updated to reflect
those changes.

Fix T82351: Cycles: Tile stealing glitches with adaptive sampling

In my testing this works, but it requires me to remove the min(start_sample...) part in the
adaptive sampling kernel, and I assume there's a reason why it was there?

Fix T81211 Add high frequency mouse input for Windows.

Also send mouse move event instead of moving cursor via SetCursorPos.
SetCursorPos did not reliably move the mouse when it is leaving the

Geometry Nodes: Attribute Vector Math Node

This patch implements the same operations and interface as the regular
vector math node, but it runs for every element of the attribute. This
should expand what's possible with geometry nodes quite a bit.

Geometry Nodes Point Distribution: Align points to face normals

This patch makes the point distribute node write to the "rotation"
attribute with the normal of each face at each distributed point.
The "normal" attribute is also created with the triangle normal
at each point.

The conversion from the triangle normal to an Euler rotation is somewhat
arbitrary, since we only have one direction vector. For a more flexible
rotation for each point, the "Align Rotation to Vector" node can be used
in the future.

Fix T83422: Dimensions incorrect after undoing if it has modified geometry.

Root of the issue is that `BKE_object_eval_boundbox` (that ports back
evaluated bbox to orig object during active depsgraph evaluation) is
only called when object's geometry actually is evaluated.

However, with new undo, often Object itself can be changed by undo,
without requiring its geometry to be re-evaluated, which was leading to
the evaluated bbox not being copied back into orig object anymore.

Fixing that by moving bbox copying-to-orig code into
`BKE_object_sync_to_original` instead, which is always executed when
object is evaluated (as hinted by the comment above
`BKE_object_eval_boundbox` actually).

Also allows to cleanup code for armature eval, apparently.

Cloth: add a vertex group setting to exclude from object collision.

This can be useful as a workaround on the boundary with the pinned
vertices in some situations among other things, and completely copies
the existing design of the self collision vertex group setting.

Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D10043

Collision: allow disabling collision without removing the modifier.

The `object.collision.use` flag was treated as a redundant marker
of the existence of the modifier, going as far as adding/removing
it when the value was changed, which is not actually very useful.
Removing the modifier loses its position in the stack, and requires
a dependency graph rebuild. It feels it may be a legacy flag?

What would be useful however is the ability to toggle collisions
dynamically without removing the modifier. This patch adjusts the
code to keep the modifier when the flag is disabled, and add it
if it doesn't exist when the flag is enabled. The modifier now
checks the flag at the start and quickly exits after cleaning
up stale data. The redesigned setting is exposed in the UI.

Collisions can't be disabled by simply using the modifier enable
flags because the modifier merely saves a snapshot of the mesh at
a certain point of the modifier stack for other objects to use,
and thus has to be able to clear the stale data.

ImBuf: Add error handling to IMB_indexer_open

Handle return value of `fread()` by printing an error and closing the
file when it cannot be read from. Not only is error handing a good idea,
it also prevents GCC from warning that the return value of `fread()`
should not be ignored:

```

Fix missing IDType init in ViewLayer tests.

Kinda miracle this did not cause problems so far, but was breaking tests
with some upcoming changes.

Fix Embedded IDs creation bypassing ID management completely.

No ID (even remotely) related to Main database should ever be created
directly through MEM_mallocN. Using `BKE_libblock_alloc` is the bare
minimum.

Note that there is no behavior change expected here.

ID Creation: generate `session_uuid` in more cases.

Previous code would not generate a session uuid for embedded IDs (like
root node trees or master collections). While this is not a problem
currently since those are not directly stored in Main data-base, this is
conceptually wrong, since those IDs still pertain the Main data.

Further more, this is blocking using `session_uuid` more in depsgraph in
place from ID pointer itself, as identifier (related to T84397).
