Improve Bevy's double-precision story for third-party crates (#19194)
# Objective

Certain classes of games, usually those with enormous worlds, require
some amount of support for double-precision. Libraries like `big_space`
exist to allow for large worlds while integrating cleanly with Bevy's
primarily single-precision ecosystem, but even then, games will often
still work directly in double-precision throughout the part of the
pipeline that feeds into the Bevy interface.

Currently, working with double-precision types in Bevy is a pain. `glam`
provides types like `DVec3`, but Bevy doesn't provide double-precision
analogs for `glam` wrappers like `Dir3`. This is mostly because doing so
involves one of:

- code duplication
- generics
- templates (like `glam` uses)
- macros

Each of these has issues that are enough to be deal-breakers as far as
maintainability, usability or readability. To work around this, I'm
putting together `bevy_dmath`, a crate that duplicates `bevy_math` types
and functionality to allow downstream users to enjoy the ergonomics and
power of `bevy_math` in double-precision. For the most part, it's a
smooth process, but in order to fully integrate, there are some
necessary changes that can only be made in `bevy_math`.

## Solution

This PR addresses the first and easiest issue with downstream
double-precision math support: `VectorSpace` currently can only
represent vector spaces over `f32`. This automatically closes the door
to double-precision curves, among other things. This restriction can be
easily lifted by allowing vector spaces to specify the underlying scalar
field. This PR adds a new trait `ScalarField` that satisfies the
properties of a scalar field (the ones that can be upheld statically)
and adds a new associated type `type Scalar: ScalarField` to
`VectorSpace`. It's mostly an unintrusive change. The biggest annoyances
are:

- it touches a lot of curve code
- `bevy_math::ops` doesn't support `f64`, so there are some annoying
workarounds

As far as curves code, I wanted to make this change unintrusive and
bite-sized, so I'm trying to touch as little code as possible. To prove
to myself it can be done, I went ahead and (*not* in this PR) migrated
most of the curves API to support different `ScalarField`s and it went
really smoothly! The ugliest thing was adding `P::Scalar: From<usize>`
in several places. There's an argument to be made here that we should be
using `num-traits`, but that's not immediately relevant. The point is
that for now, the smallest change I could make was to go into every
curve impl and make them generic over `VectorSpace<Scalar = f32>`.
Curves work exactly like before and don't change the user API at all.

# Follow-up

- **Extend `bevy_math::ops` to work with `f64`.** `bevy_math::ops` is
used all over, and if curves are ever going to support different
`ScalarField` types, we'll need to be able to use the correct `std` or
`libm` ops for `f64` types as well. Adding an `ops64` mod turned out to
be really ugly, but I'll point out the maintenance burden is low because
we're not going to be adding new floating-point ops anytime soon.
Another solution is to build a floating-point trait that calls the right
op variant and impl it for `f32` and `f64`. This reduces maintenance
burden because on the off chance we ever *do* want to go modify it, it's
all tied together: you can't change the interface on one without
changing the trait, which forces you to update the other. A third option
is to use `num-traits`, which is basically option 2 but someone else did
the work for us. They already support `no_std` using `libm`, so it would
be more or less a drop-in replacement. They're missing a couple
floating-point ops like `floor` and `ceil`, but we could make our own
floating-point traits for those (there's even the potential for
upstreaming them into `num-traits`).
- **Tweak curves to accept vector spaces over any `ScalarField`.**
Curves are ready to support custom scalar types as soon as the bullet
above is addressed. I will admit that the code is not as fun to look at:
`P::Scalar` instead of `f32` everywhere. We could consider an alternate
design where we use `f32` even to interpolate something like a `DVec3`,
but personally I think that's a worse solution than parameterizing
curves over the vector space's scalar type. At the end of the day, it's
not really bad to deal with in my opinion... `ScalarType` supports
enough operations that working with them is almost like working with raw
float types, and it unlocks a whole ecosystem for games that want to use
double-precision.

Reduce dependencies on bevy_render by preferring bevy_mesh imports (#18437)
## Objective

Reduce dependencies on `bevy_render` by preferring `bevy_mesh` imports
over `bevy_render` re-exports.

```diff
- use bevy_render::mesh::Mesh;
+ use bevy_mesh::Mesh;
```

This is intended to help with #18423 (render crate restructure). Affects
`bevy_gltf`, `bevy_animation` and `bevy_picking`.

## But Why?

As part of #18423, I'm assuming there'll be a push to make crates less
dependent on the big render crates. This PR seemed like a small and safe
step along that path - it only changes imports and makes the `bevy_mesh`
crate dependency explicit in `Cargo.toml`. Any remaining dependencies on
`bevy_render` are true dependencies.

## Testing

```
cargo run --example testbed_3d
cargo run --example mesh_picking

bevy_reflect: Add clone registrations project-wide (#18307)
# Objective

Now that #13432 has been merged, it's important we update our reflected
types to properly opt into this feature. If we do not, then this could
cause issues for users downstream who want to make use of
reflection-based cloning.

## Solution

This PR is broken into 4 commits:

1. Add `#[reflect(Clone)]` on all types marked `#[reflect(opaque)]` that
are also `Clone`. This is mandatory as these types would otherwise cause
the cloning operation to fail for any type that contains it at any
depth.
2. Update the reflection example to suggest adding `#[reflect(Clone)]`
on opaque types.
3. Add `#[reflect(clone)]` attributes on all fields marked
`#[reflect(ignore)]` that are also `Clone`. This prevents the ignored
field from causing the cloning operation to fail.
   
Note that some of the types that contain these fields are also `Clone`,
and thus can be marked `#[reflect(Clone)]`. This makes the
`#[reflect(clone)]` attribute redundant. However, I think it's safer to
keep it marked in the case that the `Clone` impl/derive is ever removed.
I'm open to removing them, though, if people disagree.
4. Finally, I added `#[reflect(Clone)]` on all types that are also
`Clone`. While not strictly necessary, it enables us to reduce the
generated output since we can just call `Clone::clone` directly instead
of calling `PartialReflect::reflect_clone` on each variant/field. It
also means we benefit from any optimizations or customizations made in
the `Clone` impl, including directly dereferencing `Copy` values and
increasing reference counters.

Along with that change I also took the liberty of adding any missing
registrations that I saw could be applied to the type as well, such as
`Default`, `PartialEq`, and `Hash`. There were hundreds of these to
edit, though, so it's possible I missed quite a few.

That last commit is **_massive_**. There were nearly 700 types to
update. So it's recommended to review the first three before moving onto
that last one.

Additionally, I can break the last commit off into its own PR or into
smaller PRs, but I figured this would be the easiest way of doing it
(and in a timely manner since I unfortunately don't have as much time as
I used to for code contributions).

## Testing

You can test locally with a `cargo check`:

```
cargo check --workspace --all-features

Deny derive_more error feature and replace it with thiserror (#16684)
# Objective

- Remove `derive_more`'s error derivation and replace it with
`thiserror`

## Solution

- Added `derive_more`'s `error` feature to `deny.toml` to prevent it
sneaking back in.
- Reverted to `thiserror` error derivation

## Notes

Merge conflicts were too numerous to revert the individual changes, so
this reversion was done manually. Please scrutinise carefully during
review.

Replace TwoIterators with Either in bevy_animation (#16036)
# Objective

- Less code
- Better iterator (implements `size_hint` for example)

## Solution

- Use `either`
- This change is free because `bevy_animation` depends on `bevy_asset`,
which already depends on `either`

Eliminate redundant clamping from sample-interpolated curves (#15620)
# Objective

Currently, sample-interpolated curves (such as those used by the glTF
loader for animations) do unnecessary extra work when `sample_clamped`
is called, since their implementations of `sample_unchecked` are already
clamped. Eliminating this redundant sampling is a small, easy
performance win which doesn't compromise on the animation system's
internal usage of `sample_clamped`, which guarantees that it never
samples curves out-of-bounds.

## Solution

For sample-interpolated curves, define `sample_clamped` in the way
`sample_unchecked` is currently defined, and then redirect
`sample_unchecked` to `sample_clamped`. This is arguably a more
idiomatic way of using the `cores` as well, which is nice.

## Testing

Ran `many_foxes` to make sure I didn't break anything.

Curve-based animation (#15434)
# Objective

This PR extends and reworks the material from #15282 by allowing
arbitrary curves to be used by the animation system to animate arbitrary
properties. The goals of this work are to:
- Allow far greater flexibility in how animations are allowed to be
defined in order to be used with `bevy_animation`.
- Delegate responsibility over keyframe interpolation to `bevy_math` and
the `Curve` libraries and reduce reliance on keyframes in animation
definitions generally.
- Move away from allowing the glTF spec to completely define animations
on a mechanical level.

## Solution

### Overview

At a high level, curves have been incorporated into the animation system
using the `AnimationCurve` trait (closely related to what was
`Keyframes`). From the top down:

1. In `animate_targets`, animations are driven by `VariableCurve`, which
is now a thin wrapper around a `Box<dyn AnimationCurve>`.
2. `AnimationCurve` is something built out of a `Curve`, and it tells
the animation system how to use the curve's output to actually mutate
component properties. The trait looks like this:
```rust
/// A low-level trait that provides control over how curves are actually applied to entities
/// by the animation system.
///
/// Typically, this will not need to be implemented manually, since it is automatically
/// implemented by [`AnimatableCurve`] and other curves used by the animation system
/// (e.g. those that animate parts of transforms or morph weights). However, this can be
/// implemented manually when `AnimatableCurve` is not sufficiently expressive.
///
/// In many respects, this behaves like a type-erased form of [`Curve`], where the output
/// type of the curve is remembered only in the components that are mutated in the
/// implementation of [`apply`].
///
/// [`apply`]: AnimationCurve::apply
pub trait AnimationCurve: Reflect + Debug + Send + Sync {
    /// Returns a boxed clone of this value.
    fn clone_value(&self) -> Box<dyn AnimationCurve>;

    /// The range of times for which this animation is defined.
    fn domain(&self) -> Interval;

    /// Write the value of sampling this curve at time `t` into `transform` or `entity`,
    /// as appropriate, interpolating between the existing value and the sampled value
    /// using the given `weight`.
    fn apply<'a>(
        &self,
        t: f32,
        transform: Option<Mut<'a, Transform>>,
        entity: EntityMutExcept<'a, (Transform, AnimationPlayer, Handle<AnimationGraph>)>,
        weight: f32,
    ) -> Result<(), AnimationEvaluationError>;
}
```
3. The conversion process from a `Curve` to an `AnimationCurve` involves
using wrappers which communicate the intent to animate a particular
property. For example, here is `TranslationCurve`, which wraps a
`Curve<Vec3>` and uses it to animate `Transform::translation`:
```rust
/// This type allows a curve valued in `Vec3` to become an [`AnimationCurve`] that animates
/// the translation component of a transform.
pub struct TranslationCurve<C>(pub C);
```

### Animatable Properties

The `AnimatableProperty` trait survives in the transition, and it can be
used to allow curves to animate arbitrary component properties. The
updated documentation for `AnimatableProperty` explains this process:
<details>
  <summary>Expand AnimatableProperty example</summary

An `AnimatableProperty` is a value on a component that Bevy can animate.

You can implement this trait on a unit struct in order to support
animating
custom components other than transforms and morph weights. Use that type
in
conjunction with `AnimatableCurve` (and perhaps
`AnimatableKeyframeCurve`
to define the animation itself). For example, in order to animate font
size of a
text section from 24 pt. to 80 pt., you might use:

```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct FontSizeProperty;

impl AnimatableProperty for FontSizeProperty {
    type Component = Text;
    type Property = f32;
    fn get_mut(component: &mut Self::Component) -> Option<&mut Self::Property> {
        Some(&mut component.sections.get_mut(0)?.style.font_size)
    }
}
```

You can then create an `AnimationClip` to animate this property like so:

```rust
let mut animation_clip = AnimationClip::default();
animation_clip.add_curve_to_target(
    animation_target_id,
    AnimatableKeyframeCurve::new(
        [
            (0.0, 24.0),
            (1.0, 80.0),
        ]
    )
    .map(AnimatableCurve::<FontSizeProperty, _>::from_curve)
    .expect("Failed to create font size curve")
);
```

Here, the use of `AnimatableKeyframeCurve` creates a curve out of the
given keyframe time-value
pairs, using the `Animatable` implementation of `f32` to interpolate
between them. The
invocation of `AnimatableCurve::from_curve` with `FontSizeProperty`
indicates that the `f32`
output from that curve is to be used to animate the font size of a
`Text` component (as
configured above).


</details>

### glTF Loading

glTF animations are now loaded into `Curve` types of various kinds,
depending on what is being animated and what interpolation mode is being
used. Those types get wrapped into and converted into `Box<dyn
AnimationCurve>` and shoved inside of a `VariableCurve` just like
everybody else.

### Morph Weights

There is an `IterableCurve` abstraction which allows sampling these from
a contiguous buffer without allocating. Its only reason for existing is
that Rust disallows you from naming function types, otherwise we would
just use `Curve` with an iterator output type. (The iterator involves
`Map`, and the name of the function type would have to be able to be
named, but it is not.)

A `WeightsCurve` adaptor turns an `IterableCurve` into an
`AnimationCurve`, so it behaves like everything else in that regard.

## Testing

Tested by running existing animation examples. Interpolation logic has
had additional tests added within the `Curve` API to replace the tests
in `bevy_animation`. Some kinds of out-of-bounds errors have become
impossible.

Performance testing on `many_foxes` (`animate_targets`) suggests that
performance is very similar to the existing implementation. Here are a
couple trace histograms across different runs (yellow is this branch,
red is main).

## Migration Guide

Most user code that does not directly deal with `AnimationClip` and
`VariableCurve` will not need to be changed. On the other hand,
`VariableCurve` has been completely overhauled. If you were previously
defining animation curves in code using keyframes, you will need to
migrate that code to use curve constructors instead. For example, a
rotation animation defined using keyframes and added to an animation
clip like this:
```rust
animation_clip.add_curve_to_target(
    animation_target_id,
    VariableCurve {
        keyframe_timestamps: vec![0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0],
        keyframes: Keyframes::Rotation(vec![
            Quat::IDENTITY,
            Quat::from_axis_angle(Vec3::Y, PI / 2.),
            Quat::from_axis_angle(Vec3::Y, PI / 2. * 2.),
            Quat::from_axis_angle(Vec3::Y, PI / 2. * 3.),
            Quat::IDENTITY,
        ]),
        interpolation: Interpolation::Linear,
    },
);
```

would now be added like this:
```rust
animation_clip.add_curve_to_target(
    animation_target_id,
    AnimatableKeyframeCurve::new([0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0].into_iter().zip([
        Quat::IDENTITY,
        Quat::from_axis_angle(Vec3::Y, PI / 2.),
        Quat::from_axis_angle(Vec3::Y, PI / 2. * 2.),
        Quat::from_axis_angle(Vec3::Y, PI / 2. * 3.),
        Quat::IDENTITY,
    ]))
    .map(RotationCurve)
    .expect("Failed to build rotation curve"),
);
```

Note that the interface of `AnimationClip::add_curve_to_target` has also
changed (as this example shows, if subtly), and now takes its curve
input as an `impl AnimationCurve`. If you need to add a `VariableCurve`
directly, a new method `add_variable_curve_to_target` accommodates that
(and serves as a one-to-one migration in this regard).

### For reviewers

The diff is pretty big, and the structure of some of the changes might
not be super-obvious:
- `keyframes.rs` became `animation_curves.rs`, and `AnimationCurve` is
based heavily on `Keyframes`, with the adaptors also largely following
suite.
- The Curve API adaptor structs were moved from `bevy_math::curve::mod`
into their own module `adaptors`. There are no functional changes to how
these adaptors work; this is just to make room for the specialized
reflection implementations since `mod.rs` was getting kind of cramped.
- The new module `gltf_curves` holds the additional curve constructions
that are needed by the glTF loader. Note that the loader uses a mix of
these and off-the-shelf `bevy_math` curve stuff.
- `animatable.rs` no longer holds logic related to keyframe
interpolation, which is now delegated to the existing abstractions in
`bevy_math::curve::cores`.
