Change Details

Using the attribute name semantics proposed in T97452, move the `ME_HIDE` flag from mesh vertices, edges, and faces to boolean attribute layers. Now the relevant data is stored in three generic boolean attribute layers, `.hide_vert`, `.hide_edge`, and `.hide_face`. In the longer term, this design can significantly simplify and improve code, as described in T95965. Branch: `refactor-mesh-hide-generic`

Using the attribute name semantics proposed in T97452, this patch moves the hide status of mesh elements from the `ME_FLAG` of vertices, edges, and faces to generic boolean attribute layers. Storing this data as generic attributes can siginificantly simplify and inprove code, as described in T95965. The attributes are called `.hide_vert`, `.hide_edge`, and `.hide_face`. The `.` prefix means they are "UI attributes", so still contain original data edited by users, but they aren't meant to be accessed procedurally by the user in arbitrary situations. They will also be hidden in the spreadsheet and the attribute list by default (I left that change out for now to help the review process). Branch: `refactor-mesh-hide-generic`
