GPUTexture: Fix assert when using stereo viewport with EEVEE

Stereo viewport means the depth buffer is use twice as often as a
framebuffer attachment.

Fix regression with incremental snap in Graph Editor

Regression introduced in {rBb0d9e6797fb8}.

Previously the Graphics Editor had a conflict with two different snap
types. Auto-Snap and Snap with Ctrl.

It is now clearer which snap should prevail.

Functions: Generic array data structure

Sometimes it's useful to pass around a set of values with a generic
type. The virtual array data structures allow this, but they don't
have logical ownership. My initial use case for this is as a return
type for the functions that interpolate curve attributes to evaluated
points, but a need for this data structure has come up in a few other
places as well. It also reduced the need for templates.

Fix T92030: crash when hovering over socket

This is the same fix as in rB24a965bb16c22e33752dfb6c22105b96a8649aeb.

Cycles: Kernel address space changes for MSL

This is the first of a sequence of changes to support compiling Cycles kernels as MSL (Metal Shading Language) in preparation for a Metal GPU device implementation.

MSL requires that all pointer types be declared with explicit address space attributes (device, thread, etc...). There is already precedent for this with Cycles' address space macros (ccl_global, ccl_private, etc...), therefore the first step of MSL-enablement is to apply these consistently. Line-for-line this represents the largest change required to enable MSL. Applying this change first will simplify future patches as well as offering the emergent benefit of enhanced descriptiveness.

The vast majority of deltas in this patch fall into one of two cases:

- Ensuring ccl_private is specified for thread-local pointer types
- Ensuring ccl_global is specified for device-wide pointer types

Additionally, the ccl_addr_space qualifier can be removed. Prior to Cycles X, ccl_addr_space was used as a context-dependent address space qualifier, but now it is either redundant (e.g. in struct typedefs), or can be replaced by ccl_global in the case of pointer types. Associated function variants (e.g. lcg_step_float_addrspace) are also redundant.

In cases where address space qualifiers are chained with "const", this patch places the address space qualifier first. The rationale for this is that the choice of address space is likely to have the greater impact on runtime performance and overall architecture.

The final part of this patch is the addition of a metal/compat.h header. This is partially complete and will be extended in future patches, paving the way for the full Metal implementation.

Fix T91743: Unify behavior of 'Auto Set Preview Range'

This is available in the DopeSheet, GraphEditor, and NLA Editor.

Currently:
- Dopesheet advertises to take selection into account...
-- ...but doesnt - which might be a mistake in rBe3842d1ca4dd
- Graph Editor does not mention selection...
-- ...and also does not take it into account
- NLA does not mention selection...
-- ...but takes it into account

Now:
- make them **all** take selection into account (you can still do a
quick 'Select All' prior to get the full range -- better than not being
able to set this based on selection)
- mention this for all in the tooltip
- also reword to 'Set Preview Range to Selected' since using the term
'Auto' impilies this would change on selection change.

Cleanup: asset browser, remove invalid assertion

Remove `BLI_assert_unreachable()` in a spot that is actually easily
reachable. To reach, follow these steps:
- Configure three asset libraries (say A, B, and C) in preferences
- Set the asset browser to library C and save the file
- Remove asset library C from the preferences
- Reopen the file.

Filebrowser: Expose file select functions for File Browser to Python API.

This patch adds activate_file_by_relative_path(relative_path="") and
deselect_all() function to the space api of the File Browser. While the
first sets the active file and adds it to the selection based on a
relative path to the current File Browser directory the second one
deselects all files but does not change the active file.

Alembic: avoid crash when Cycles is not enabled

The Alembic/CacheFile modifier supports Cycles procedurals when Cycles

segfault on builds with `WITH_CYCLES=OFF`. This is now fixed by adding
an extra NULL check.

The assumption about absent shadow path was wrong.

The rest of the changes are to ensure shadow paths are finished prior
