Geometry Nodes: remove incorrect assert

It is perfectly valid that an attribute does not exist and cannot be created.
For example, this can happen when a mesh does not contain any vertices.

Cycles: Use Blender Settings For AOV

This patch will share the AOV settings between Cycles and Eevee.
It enable using the AOV name conflict detection of Blender. This
means that unlike how Cycles used to work it isn't possible to add an
AOV with a similar name. Conflicts with internal render pass names will
be indicated with an Warning icon.

Fix T85545: changing position attribute does not tag normals dirty

This makes it so that normals are tagged dirty whenever the position
attribute is requested for writing. This seems like a good default. If the
calling code is aware of normals, it could untag normals when they are
not changed by the operation.

Fix T79999: Double color management applied during viewport animation render

In 2.81 there was a change to increase the performance of viewport
animation rendering. This change would perform the color management on the
GPU if the only 8bit was needed. This saved CPU cycles and data
transfer.

The issue is that in the image editor or when saving the image the CM
will be reapplied. Although the speed is desired, exporting the actual
colors has more priority.

In the ticket there is an analysis that shows that shows that this fix
is the correct short term step to take. It would be better that the
render result is aware of the color space of its buffers so the applying
color management could be skipped when saving to disk or drawing in the
image editor.

The issue with this change is the performance penalty it has.

UI: expose the 3D views active object, even when hidden

The previous behavior meant that changing an objects visibility
effectively changed the current mode - which missed necessary
updates for the tool-system (for example).

There was already a check for edit-mode, now expected to all modes.

This makes the test-case described in T83013 work as expected.

WM: Add 'Confirm On Release' option for WM_OT_radial_control

Adds a new property called "Confirm On Release" that does what it says,
confirm the action without having to do left-click or to press any other
extra-key which concludes in a more dynamic and efficient way of changing
brush size or strength for example, especially for tablet users.

Cleanup: remove unused panel SEQUENCER_PT_sound

These have since been moved to SEQUENCER_PT_source.

Cleanup: don't subclass 'Panel' for mix-in classes

This reports warnings with `--debug-python` since all panel
sub-classes are expected to be registered.

Cleanup: use the assignment operator with list-comprehension

Docs: add notes to 'make deps' & the sqlite build configuration

- Move non-blender build targets into their own section.
- Expand 'make help' text, noting a local 'make deps' overrides.
- Note where the spell checkers word-list is maintained.
- Note on why sqlite is built without 'tcl'.

CMake: update MSVC PDB path reference

Replace literal number with a variable.

PyAPI: Use PyPreConfig & PyConfig for Python initialization

Use Python 3.8's API for setting the initial configuration.

This replaces a mix of our logic and direct calls to the Python API
and has no user visible changes.

Using the Python API makes the logic easier to follow and provides
utilities such as `PyConfig_SetBytesArgv`
that wasn't available in previous releases.

Note that this uses Python's utf8/wchar_t conversions,
which used to cause problems (see T31506).

Since `Py_UTF8Mode` was set, the systems locale isn't used for decoding,
allowing us to use Python's utility functions that call
`Py_DecodeLocale` internally.

PyAPI: use PyModule_AddType utility function

Mesh automated testing: compare selection

MeshTest now compares selection between evaluated mesh and expected mesh. This way, we can test more operators
such as `faces_select_linked_flat`

Note: selection comparison intentionally does not happen in BKE_mesh_cmp() on C side but rather on Python side, because
selection is independent of mesh generation.
