Apply unused_qualifications lint (#14828)
# Objective

Fixes #14782

## Solution

Enable the lint and fix all upcoming hints (`--fix`). Also tried to
figure out the false-positive (see review comment). Maybe split this PR
up into multiple parts where only the last one enables the lint, so some
can already be merged resulting in less many files touched / less
potential for merge conflicts?

Currently, there are some cases where it might be easier to read the
code with the qualifier, so perhaps remove the import of it and adapt
its cases? In the current stage it's just a plain adoption of the
suggestions in order to have a base to discuss.

## Testing

`cargo clippy` and `cargo run -p ci` are happy.

bevy_reflect: Function reflection terminology refactor (#14813)
# Objective

One of the changes in #14704 made `DynamicFunction` effectively the same
as `DynamicClosure<'static>`. This change meant that the de facto
function type would likely be `DynamicClosure<'static>` instead of the
intended `DynamicFunction`, since the former is much more flexible.

We _could_ explore ways of making `DynamicFunction` implement `Copy`
using some unsafe code, but it likely wouldn't be worth it. And users
would likely still reach for the convenience of
`DynamicClosure<'static>` over the copy-ability of `DynamicFunction`.

The goal of this PR is to fix this confusion between the two types.

## Solution

Firstly, the `DynamicFunction` type was removed. Again, it was no
different than `DynamicClosure<'static>` so it wasn't a huge deal to
remove.

Secondly, `DynamicClosure<'env>` and `DynamicClosureMut<'env>` were
renamed to `DynamicFunction<'env>` and `DynamicFunctionMut<'env>`,
respectively.

Yes, we still ultimately kept the naming of `DynamicFunction`, but
changed its behavior to that of `DynamicClosure<'env>`. We need a term
to refer to both functions and closures, and "function" was the best
option.


[Originally](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1002362493634629796/1274091992162242710),
I was going to go with "callable" as the replacement term to encompass
both functions and closures (e.g. `DynamciCallable<'env>`). However, it
was
[suggested](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1002362493634629796/1274653581777047625)
by @SkiFire13 that the simpler "function" term could be used instead.

While "callable" is perhaps the better umbrella term—being truly
ambiguous over functions and closures— "function" is more familiar, used
more often, easier to discover, and is subjectively just
"better-sounding".

## Testing

Most changes are purely swapping type names or updating documentation,
but you can verify everything still works by running the following
command:

```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect
```

Fix ecs example thread_rng duplicate creation (#14795)
# Objective

While looking through the changes #14782 will create I noticed this.

## Solution

Reuse the existing thread_rng. As this is a code change I would like to
not include it in a pure lint enable PR.

## Testing

I did not test this change (other than the automated CI with this PR). I
think it should be a fairly simple change that can be reviewed only by
the code.

Fix key bindings in 3d_gizmos example after camera controller (#14812)
# Objective

Fixes #14811

## Solution

- Switch `D` to `T`: `T` for "on top of"
- Switch `A` to `B`: `B` in "AABB", or "boxes"

## Testing

- Ran the example locally
- Checked the key bindings that the camera controller uses and made sure
we're not using them in the 3d_gizmos example anymore

Switch rotation & translation in grid gizmos (#14656)
# Objective

- Fixes #14655

## Solution

Rotation should happen first as this is more easier to conceptualize in
the mind: We rotate around the coordinate origin `Vec3::ZERO` and then
we just shift the geometry so that its center is exactly on the
specified position

## Testing && Showcase

Code:

```rust
    gizmos.grid(
        Vec3::ONE * 10.0,
        Quat::from_rotation_x(PI / 3. * 2.),
        UVec2::splat(20),
        Vec2::new(2., 2.),
        PURPLE,
    );
    gizmos.sphere(Vec3::ONE * 10.0, Quat::default(), 1.0, PURPLE);
```

Add example demonstrating how to enable / disable diagnostics (#14741)
# Objective

fixes #14569

## Solution

added an example to the diagnostic examples and linked the code to the
docs of the diagnostic library itself.

## Testing

I tested locally on my laptop in a web browser. Looked fine. You are
able to collapse the whole "intro" part of the doc to get to the links
sooner (for those who may think that including the example code here is
annoying to scroll through)

I would like people to run ```cargo doc``` and go the bevy_diagnostic
page to see if they have any issues or suggestions.

Add AlphaMask2d phase (#14724)
# Objective

- Bevy now supports an opaque phase for mesh2d, but it's very common for
2d textures to have a transparent alpha channel.

## Solution

- Add an alpha mask phase identical to the one in 3d. It will do the
alpha masking in the shader before drawing the mesh.
- Uses the BinnedRenderPhase
- Since it's an opaque draw it also correctly writes to depth

## Testing

- Tested the mes2d_alpha_mode example and the bevymark example with
alpha mask mode enabled

## Showcase


![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9e5e4561-d0a7-4aa3-b049-d4b1247d5ed4)

The white logo on the right is rendered with alpha mask enabled.

Running the bevymark example I can get 65fps for 120k mesh2d all using
alpha mask.

Consistency between Wireframe2d and Wireframe (#14720)
# Objective

- Wireframe plugins have inconsistencies between 3D and 2D versions.
This PR addresses the following
  - 2d version uses `Srgba` for colors, 3d version uses `Color`.

  
## Solution

- This PR brings consistency by doing the following change
  - `Wireframe2d` now uses `Color` instead of `Srgba`

## Testing

- `wireframe_2d` and `wireframe` examples were verified and they work as
before.

reflect: implement the unique reflect rfc (#7207)
# Objective

- Implements the [Unique Reflect
RFC](https://github.com/nicopap/rfcs/blob/bevy-reflect-api/rfcs/56-better-reflect.md).

## Solution

- Implements the RFC.
- This implementation differs in some ways from the RFC:
- In the RFC, it was suggested `Reflect: Any` but `PartialReflect:
?Any`. During initial implementation I tried this, but we assume the
`PartialReflect: 'static` in a lot of places and the changes required
crept out of the scope of this PR.
- `PartialReflect::try_into_reflect` originally returned `Option<Box<dyn
Reflect>>` but i changed this to `Result<Box<dyn Reflect>, Box<dyn
PartialReflect>>` since the method takes by value and otherwise there
would be no way to recover the type. `as_full` and `as_full_mut` both
still return `Option<&(mut) dyn Reflect>`.

---

## Changelog

- Added `PartialReflect`.
- `Reflect` is now a subtrait of `PartialReflect`.
- Moved most methods on `Reflect` to the new `PartialReflect`.
- Added `PartialReflect::{as_partial_reflect, as_partial_reflect_mut,
into_partial_reflect}`.
- Added `PartialReflect::{try_as_reflect, try_as_reflect_mut,
try_into_reflect}`.
- Added `<dyn PartialReflect>::{try_downcast_ref, try_downcast_mut,
try_downcast, try_take}` supplementing the methods on `dyn Reflect`.

## Migration Guide

- Most instances of `dyn Reflect` should be changed to `dyn
PartialReflect` which is less restrictive, however trait bounds should
generally stay as `T: Reflect`.
- The new `PartialReflect::{as_partial_reflect, as_partial_reflect_mut,
into_partial_reflect, try_as_reflect, try_as_reflect_mut,
try_into_reflect}` methods as well as `Reflect::{as_reflect,
as_reflect_mut, into_reflect}` will need to be implemented for manual
implementors of `Reflect`.

## Future Work

- This PR is designed to be followed up by another "Unique Reflect Phase
2" that addresses the following points:
- Investigate making serialization revolve around `Reflect` instead of
`PartialReflect`.
- [Remove the `try_*` methods on `dyn PartialReflect` since they are
stop
gaps](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/7207#discussion_r1083476050).
- Investigate usages like `ReflectComponent`. In the places they
currently use `PartialReflect`, should they be changed to use `Reflect`?
- Merging this opens the door to lots of reflection features we haven't
been able to implement.
- We could re-add [the `Reflectable`
trait](8e3488c880/crates/bevy_reflect/src/reflect.rs (L337-L342))
and make `FromReflect` a requirement to improve [`FromReflect`
ergonomics](https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/59). This is
currently not possible because dynamic types cannot sensibly be
`FromReflect`.
  - Since this is an alternative to #5772, #5781 would be made cleaner.

Add custom cursors (#14284)
# Objective

- Add custom images as cursors
- Fixes #9557 

## Solution

- Change cursor type to accommodate both native and image cursors
- I don't really like this solution because I couldn't use
`Handle<Image>` directly. I would need to import `bevy_assets` and that
causes a circular dependency. Alternatively we could use winit's
`CustomCursor` smart pointers, but that seems hard because the event
loop is needed to create those and is not easily accessable for users.
So now I need to copy around rgba buffers which is sad.
- I use a cache because especially on the web creating cursor images is
really slow
- Sorry to #14196 for yoinking, I just wanted to make a quick solution
for myself and thought that I should probably share it too.

Update:
- Now uses `Handle<Image>`, reads rgba data in `bevy_render` and uses
resources to send the data to `bevy_winit`, where the final cursors are
created.

## Testing

- Added example which works fine at least on Linux Wayland (winit side
has been tested with all platforms).
- I haven't tested if the url cursor works.

## Migration Guide

- `CursorIcon` is no longer a field in `Window`, but a separate
component can be inserted to a window entity. It has been changed to an
enum that can hold custom images in addition to system icons.
- `Cursor` is renamed to `CursorOptions` and `cursor` field of `Window`
is renamed to `cursor_options`
- `CursorIcon` is renamed to `SystemCursorIcon`

bevy_reflect: Add DynamicSet to dynamic_types example (#14665)

## Solution

Add `DynamicSet` to the `dynamic_types` example.

For parity with the other dynamic types, I also implemented
`FromIterator<T: Reflect>`, `FromIterator<Box<dyn Reflect>>`, and
`IntoIterator for &DynamicSet`.

bevy_reflect: Anonymous function parsing (#14641)
# Objective

### TL;DR

#14098 added the `FunctionRegistry` but had some last minute
complications due to anonymous functions. It ended up going with a
"required name" approach to ensure anonymous functions would always have
a name.

However, this approach isn't ideal for named functions since, by
definition, they will always have a name.

Therefore, this PR aims to modify function reflection such that we can
make function registration easier for named functions, while still
allowing anonymous functions to be registered as well.

### Context

Function registration (#14098) ran into a little problem: anonymous
functions.

Anonymous functions, including function pointers, have very non-unique
type names. For example, the anonymous function `|a: i32, b: i32| a + b`
has the type name of `fn(i32, i32) -> i32`. This obviously means we'd
conflict with another function like `|a: i32, b: i32| a - b`.

The solution that #14098 landed on was to always require a name during
function registration.

The downside with this is that named functions (e.g. `fn add(a: i32, b:
i32) -> i32 { a + b }`) had to redundantly provide a name. Additionally,
manually constructed `DynamicFunction`s also ran into this ergonomics
issue.

I don't entirely know how the function registry will be used, but I have
a strong suspicion that most of its registrations will either be named
functions or manually constructed `DynamicFunction`s, with anonymous
functions only being used here and there for quick prototyping or adding
small functionality.

Why then should the API prioritize the anonymous function use case by
always requiring a name during registration?

#### Telling Functions Apart

Rust doesn't provide a lot of out-of-the-box tools for reflecting
functions. One of the biggest hurdles in attempting to solve the problem
outlined above would be to somehow tell the different kinds of functions
apart.

Let's briefly recap on the categories of functions in Rust:

| Category           | Example                                   |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| Named function     | `fn add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 { a + b }` |
| Closure            | `\|a: i32\| a + captured_variable`          |
| Anonymous function | `\|a: i32, b: i32\| a + b`                  |
| Function pointer   | `fn(i32, i32) -> i32`                     |

My first thought was to try and differentiate these categories based on
their size. However, we can see that this doesn't quite work:

| Category           | `size_of` |
| ------------------ | --------- |
| Named function     | 0         |
| Closure            | 0+        |
| Anonymous function | 0         |
| Function pointer   | 8         |

Not only does this not tell anonymous functions from named ones, but it
struggles with pretty much all of them.

My second then was to differentiate based on type name:

| Category           | `type_name`             |
| ------------------ | ----------------------- |
| Named function     | `foo::bar::baz`         |
| Closure            | `foo::bar::{{closure}}` |
| Anonymous function | `fn() -> String`        |
| Function pointer   | `fn() -> String`        |

This is much better. While it can't distinguish between function
pointers and anonymous functions, this doesn't matter too much since we
only care about whether we can _name_ the function.

So why didn't we implement this in #14098?

#### Relying on `type_name`

While this solution was known about while working on #14098, it was left
out from that PR due to it being potentially controversial.

The [docs](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/any/fn.type_name.html)
for `std::any::type_name` state:

> The returned string must not be considered to be a unique identifier
of a type as multiple types may map to the same type name. Similarly,
there is no guarantee that all parts of a type will appear in the
returned string: for example, lifetime specifiers are currently not
included. In addition, the output may change between versions of the
compiler.

So that's it then? We can't use `type_name`?

Well, this statement isn't so much a rule as it is a guideline. And Bevy
is no stranger to bending the rules to make things work or to improve
ergonomics. Remember that before `TypePath`, Bevy's scene system was
entirely dependent on `type_name`. Not to mention that `type_name` is
being used as a key into both the `TypeRegistry` and the
`FunctionRegistry`.

Bevy's practices aside, can we reliably use `type_name` for this?

My answer would be "yes".

Anonymous functions are anonymous. They have no name. There's nothing
Rust could do to give them a name apart from generating a random string
of characters. But remember that this is a diagnostic tool, it doesn't
make sense to obfuscate the type by randomizing the output. So changing
it to be anything other than what it is now is very unlikely.

The only changes that I could potentially see happening are:

1. Closures replace `{{closure}}` with the name of their variable
2. Lifetimes are included in the output

I don't think the first is likely to happen, but if it does then it
actually works out in our favor: closures are now named!

The second point is probably the likeliest. However, adding lifetimes
doesn't mean we can't still rely on `type_name` to determine whether or
not a function is named. So we should be okay in this case as well.

## Solution

Parse the `type_name` of the function in the `TypedFunction` impl to
determine if the function is named or anonymous.

This once again makes `FunctionInfo::name` optional. For manual
constructions of `DynamicFunction`, `FunctionInfo::named` or
``FunctionInfo::anonymous` can be used.

The `FunctionRegistry` API has also been reworked to account for this
change.

`FunctionRegistry::register` no longer takes a name and instead takes it
from the supplied function, returning a
`FunctionRegistrationError::MissingName` error if the name is `None`.
This also doubles as a replacement for the old
`FunctionRegistry::register_dynamic` method, which has been removed.

To handle anonymous functions, a `FunctionRegistry::register_with_name`
method has been added. This works in the same way
`FunctionRegistry::register` used to work before this PR.

The overwriting methods have been updated in a similar manner, with
modifications to `FunctionRegistry::overwrite_registration`, the removal
of `FunctionRegistry::overwrite_registration_dynamic`, and the addition
of `FunctionRegistry::overwrite_registration_with_name`.

This PR also updates the methods on `App` in a similar way:
`App::register_function` no longer requires a name argument and
`App::register_function_with_name` has been added to handle anonymous
functions (and eventually closures).

## Testing

You can run the tests locally by running:

```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect --features functions
```

## Internal Migration Guide

> [!important]
> Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This
migration guide was written for developers relying on `main` during this
cycle, and is not a breaking change coming from 0.14.

> [!note]
> This list is not exhaustive. It only contains some of the most
important changes.

`FunctionRegistry::register` no longer requires a name string for named
functions. Anonymous functions, however, need to be registered using
`FunctionRegistry::register_with_name`.

```rust
// BEFORE
registry
  .register(std::any::type_name_of_val(&foo), foo)?
  .register("bar", || println!("Hello world!"));

// AFTER
registry
  .register(foo)?
  .register_with_name("bar", || println!("Hello world!"));
```

`FunctionInfo::name` is now optional. Anonymous functions and closures
will now have their name set to `None` by default. Additionally,
`FunctionInfo::new` has been renamed to `FunctionInfo::named`.

Add 2d opaque phase with depth buffer (#13069)
This PR is based on top of #12982

# Objective

- Mesh2d currently only has an alpha blended phase. Most sprites don't
need transparency though.
- For some 2d games it can be useful to have a 2d depth buffer

## Solution

- Add an opaque phase to render Mesh2d that don't need transparency
- This phase currently uses the `SortedRenderPhase` to make it easier to
implement based on the already existing transparent phase. A follow up
PR will switch this to `BinnedRenderPhase`.
- Add a 2d depth buffer
- Use that depth buffer in the transparent phase to make sure that
sprites and transparent mesh2d are displayed correctly

## Testing

I added the mesh2d_transforms example that layers many opaque and
transparent mesh2d to make sure they all get displayed correctly. I also
confirmed it works with sprites by modifying that example locally.

---

## Changelog

- Added `AlphaMode2d`
- Added `Opaque2d` render phase
- Camera2d now have a `ViewDepthTexture` component

## Migration Guide

- `ColorMaterial` now contains `AlphaMode2d`. To keep previous
behaviour, use `AlphaMode::BLEND`. If you know your sprite is opaque,
use `AlphaMode::OPAQUE`

Expose winit's MonitorHandle (#13669)
# Objective

Adds a new `Monitor` component representing a winit `MonitorHandle` that
can be used to spawn new windows and check for system monitor
information.

Closes #12955.

## Solution

For every winit event, check available monitors and spawn them into the
world as components.

## Testing

TODO:
- [x] Test plugging in and unplugging monitor during app runtime
- [x] Test spawning a window on a second monitor by entity id
- [ ] Since this touches winit, test all platforms

---

## Changelog

- Adds a new `Monitor` component that can be queried for information
about available system monitors.

## Migration Guide

- `WindowMode` variants now take a `MonitorSelection`, which can be set
to `MonitorSelection::Primary` to mirror the old behavior.

bevy_reflect: Function registry (#14098)
# Objective

#13152 added support for reflecting functions. Now, we need a way to
register those functions such that they may be accessed anywhere within
the ECS.

## Solution

Added a `FunctionRegistry` type similar to `TypeRegistry`.

This allows a function to be registered and retrieved by name.

```rust
fn foo() -> i32 {
    123
}

let mut registry = FunctionRegistry::default();
registry.register("my_function", foo);

let function = registry.get_mut("my_function").unwrap();
let value = function.call(ArgList::new()).unwrap().unwrap_owned();
assert_eq!(value.downcast_ref::<i32>(), Some(&123));
```

Additionally, I added an `AppFunctionRegistry` resource which wraps a
`FunctionRegistryArc`. Functions can be registered into this resource
using `App::register_function` or by getting a mutable reference to the
resource itself.

### Limitations

#### `Send + Sync`

In order to get this registry to work across threads, it needs to be
`Send + Sync`. This means that `DynamicFunction` needs to be `Send +
Sync`, which means that its internal function also needs to be `Send +
Sync`.

In most cases, this won't be an issue because standard Rust functions
(the type most likely to be registered) are always `Send + Sync`.
Additionally, closures tend to be `Send + Sync` as well, granted they
don't capture any `!Send` or `!Sync` variables.

This PR adds this `Send + Sync` requirement, but as mentioned above, it
hopefully shouldn't be too big of an issue.

#### Closures

Unfortunately, closures can't be registered yet. This will likely be
explored and added in a followup PR.

### Future Work

Besides addressing the limitations listed above, another thing we could
look into is improving the lookup of registered functions. One aspect is
in the performance of hashing strings. The other is in the developer
experience of having to call `std::any::type_name_of_val` to get the
name of their function (assuming they didn't give it a custom name).

## Testing

You can run the tests locally with:

```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect
```

---

## Changelog

- Added `FunctionRegistry`
- Added `AppFunctionRegistry` (a `Resource` available from `bevy_ecs`)
- Added `FunctionRegistryArc`
- Added `FunctionRegistrationError`
- Added `reflect_functions` feature to `bevy_ecs` and `bevy_app`
- `FunctionInfo` is no longer `Default`
- `DynamicFunction` now requires its wrapped function be `Send + Sync`

## Internal Migration Guide

> [!important]
> Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This
migration guide was written for developers relying on `main` during this
cycle, and is not a breaking change coming from 0.14.

`DynamicFunction` (both those created manually and those created with
`IntoFunction`), now require `Send + Sync`. All standard Rust functions
should meet that requirement. Closures, on the other hand, may not if
they capture any `!Send` or `!Sync` variables from its environment.

Add with_child to simplify spawning when there will only be one child (#14594)
# Objective

This idea came up in the context of a hypothetical "text sections as
entities" where text sections are children of a text bundle.

```rust
commands
    .spawn(TextBundle::default())
    .with_children(|parent} {
        parent.spawn(TextSection::from("Hello"));
    });
```

This is a bit cumbersome (but powerful and probably the way things are
headed). [`bsn!`](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437)
will eventually make this nicer, but in the mean time, this might
improve ergonomics for the common case where there is only one
`TextSection`.

## Solution

Add a `with_child` method to the `BuildChildren` trait that spawns a
single bundle and adds it as a child to the entity.

```rust
commands
    .spawn(TextBundle::default())
    .with_child(TextSection::from("Hello"));
```

## Testing

I added some tests, and modified the `button` example to use the new
method.

If any potential co-authors want to improve the tests, that would be
great.

## Alternatives

- Some sort of macro. See
https://github.com/tigregalis/bevy_spans_ent/blob/main/examples/macro.rs#L20.
I don't love this, personally, and it would probably be obsoleted by
`bsn!`.
- Wait for `bsn!`
- Add `with_children_batch` that takes an `Into<Iterator>` of bundles.
  ```rust
  with_children_batch(vec![TextSection::from("Hello")])
  ```
This is maybe not as useful as it sounds -- it only works with
homogeneous bundles, so no marker components or styles.
- If this doesn't seem valuable, doing nothing is cool with me.

Add example showing how to use SpecializedMeshPipeline (#14370)
# Objective

- A lot of mid-level rendering apis are hard to figure out because they
don't have any examples
- SpecializedMeshPipeline can be really useful in some cases when you
want more flexibility than a Material without having to go to low level
apis.

## Solution

- Add an example showing how to make a custom `SpecializedMeshPipeline`.

## Testing

- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
- Are there any parts that need more testing?
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know?
- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test?

## Showcase

The examples just spawns 3 triangles in a triangle pattern.

Track source location in change detection (#14034)
# Objective

- Make it possible to know *what* changed your component or resource.
- Common need when debugging, when you want to know the last code
location that mutated a value in the ECS.
- This feature would be very useful for the editor alongside system
stepping.

## Solution

- Adds the caller location to column data.
- Mutations now `track_caller` all the way up to the public API.
- Commands that invoke these functions immediately call
`Location::caller`, and pass this into the functions, instead of the
functions themselves attempting to get the caller. This would not work
for commands which are deferred, as the commands are executed by the
scheduler, not the user's code.

## Testing

- The `component_change_detection` example now shows where the component
was mutated:

```
2024-07-28T06:57:48.946022Z  INFO component_change_detection: Entity { index: 1, generation: 1 }: New value: MyComponent(0.0)
2024-07-28T06:57:49.004371Z  INFO component_change_detection: Entity { index: 1, generation: 1 }: New value: MyComponent(1.0)
2024-07-28T06:57:49.012738Z  WARN component_change_detection: Change detected!
        -> value: Ref(MyComponent(1.0))
        -> added: false
        -> changed: true
        -> changed by: examples/ecs/component_change_detection.rs:36:23
```

- It's also possible to inspect change location from a debugger:

## Changelog

- Added source locations to ECS change detection behind the
`track_change_detection` flag.

## Migration Guide

- Added `changed_by` field to many internal ECS functions used with
change detection when the `track_change_detection` feature flag is
enabled. Use Location::caller() to provide the source of the function
call.

Refactor Bounded2d/Bounded3d to use isometries (#14485)
# Objective

Previously, this area of bevy_math used raw translation and rotations to
encode isometries, which did not exist earlier. The goal of this PR is
to make the codebase of bevy_math more harmonious by using actual
isometries (`Isometry2d`/`Isometry3d`) in these places instead — this
will hopefully make the interfaces more digestible for end-users, in
addition to facilitating conversions.

For instance, together with the addition of #14478, this means that a
bounding box for a collider with an isometric `Transform` can be
computed as
```rust
collider.aabb_3d(collider_transform.to_isometry())
```
instead of using manual destructuring. 

## Solution

- The traits `Bounded2d` and `Bounded3d` now use `Isometry2d` and
`Isometry3d` (respectively) instead of `translation` and `rotation`
parameters; e.g.:
  ```rust
  /// A trait with methods that return 3D bounding volumes for a shape.
  pub trait Bounded3d {
/// Get an axis-aligned bounding box for the shape translated and
rotated by the given isometry.
      fn aabb_3d(&self, isometry: Isometry3d) -> Aabb3d;
/// Get a bounding sphere for the shape translated and rotated by the
given isometry.
      fn bounding_sphere(&self, isometry: Isometry3d) -> BoundingSphere;
  }
  ```
- Similarly, the `from_point_cloud` constructors for axis-aligned
bounding boxes and bounding circles/spheres now take isometries instead
of separate `translation` and `rotation`; e.g.:
  ```rust
/// Computes the smallest [`Aabb3d`] containing the given set of points,
/// transformed by the rotation and translation of the given isometry.
    ///
    /// # Panics
    ///
    /// Panics if the given set of points is empty.
    #[inline(always)]
    pub fn from_point_cloud(
        isometry: Isometry3d,
        points: impl Iterator<Item = impl Into<Vec3A>>,
    ) -> Aabb3d { //... }
  ```

This has a couple additional results:
1. The end-user no longer interacts directly with `Into<Vec3A>` or
`Into<Rot2>` parameters; these conversions all happen earlier now,
inside the isometry types.
2. Similarly, almost all intermediate `Vec3 -> Vec3A` conversions have
been eliminated from the `Bounded3d` implementations for primitives.
This probably has some performance benefit, but I have not measured it
as of now.

## Testing

Existing unit tests help ensure that nothing has been broken in the
refactor.

---

## Migration Guide

The `Bounded2d` and `Bounded3d` traits now take `Isometry2d` and
`Isometry3d` parameters (respectively) instead of separate translation
and rotation arguments. Existing calls to `aabb_2d`, `bounding_circle`,
`aabb_3d`, and `bounding_sphere` will have to be changed to use
isometries instead. A straightforward conversion is to refactor just by
calling `Isometry2d/3d::new`, as follows:
```rust
// Old:
let aabb = my_shape.aabb_2d(my_translation, my_rotation);

// New:
let aabb = my_shape.aabb_2d(Isometry2d::new(my_translation, my_rotation));
```

However, if the old translation and rotation are 3d
translation/rotations originating from a `Transform` or
`GlobalTransform`, then `to_isometry` may be used instead. For example:
```rust
// Old:
let bounding_sphere = my_shape.bounding_sphere(shape_transform.translation, shape_transform.rotation);

// New:
let bounding_sphere = my_shape.bounding_sphere(shape_transform.to_isometry());
```

This discussion also applies to the `from_point_cloud` construction
method of `Aabb2d`/`BoundingCircle`/`Aabb3d`/`BoundingSphere`, which has
similarly been altered to use isometries.

Disallow empty cubic and rational curves (#14382)
# Objective

Previously, our cubic spline constructors would produce
`CubicCurve`/`RationalCurve` output with no data when they themselves
didn't hold enough control points to produce a well-formed curve.
Attempting to sample the resulting empty "curves" (e.g. by calling
`CubicCurve::position`) would crash the program (😓).

The objectives of this PR are: 
1. Ensure that the curve output of `bevy_math`'s spline constructions
are never invalid as data.
2. Provide a type-level guarantee that `CubicCurve` and `RationalCurve`
actually function as curves.

## Solution

This has a few pieces. Firstly, the curve generator traits
`CubicGenerator`, `CyclicCubicGenerator`, and `RationalGenerator` are
now fallible — they have associated error types, and the
curve-generation functions are allowed to fail:
```rust
/// Implement this on cubic splines that can generate a cubic curve from their spline parameters.
pub trait CubicGenerator<P: VectorSpace> {
    /// An error type indicating why construction might fail.
    type Error;

    /// Build a [`CubicCurve`] by computing the interpolation coefficients for each curve segment.
    fn to_curve(&self) -> Result<CubicCurve<P>, Self::Error>;
}
```

All existing spline constructions use this together with errors that
indicate when they didn't have the right control data and provide curves
which have at least one segment whenever they return an `Ok` variant.

Next, `CubicCurve` and `RationalCurve` have been blessed with a
guarantee that their internal array of segments (`segments`) is never
empty. In particular, this field is no longer public, so that invalid
curves cannot be built using struct instantiation syntax. To compensate
for this shortfall for users (in particular library authors who might
want to implement their own generators), there is a new method
`from_segments` on these for constructing a curve from a list of
segments, failing if the list is empty:
```rust
/// Create a new curve from a collection of segments. If the collection of segments is empty,
/// a curve cannot be built and `None` will be returned instead.
pub fn from_segments(segments: impl Into<Vec<CubicSegment<P>>>) -> Option<Self> { //... }
```

All existing methods on `CyclicCurve` and `CubicCurve` maintain the
invariant, so the direct construction of invalid values by users is
impossible.

## Testing

Run unit tests from `bevy_math::cubic_splines`. Additionally, run the
`cubic_splines` example and try to get it to crash using small numbers
of control points: it uses the fallible constructors directly, so if
invalid data is ever constructed, it is basically guaranteed to crash.

---

## Migration Guide

The `to_curve` method on Bevy's cubic splines is now fallible (returning
a `Result`), meaning that any existing calls will need to be updated by
handling the possibility of an error variant.

Similarly, any custom implementation of `CubicGenerator` or
`RationalGenerator` will need to be amended to include an `Error` type
and be made fallible itself.

Finally, the fields of `CubicCurve` and `RationalCurve` are now private,
so any direct constructions of these structs from segments will need to
be replaced with the new `CubicCurve::from_segments` and
`RationalCurve::from_segments` methods.

---

## Design

The main thing to justify here is the choice for the curve internals to
remain the same. After all, if they were able to cause crashes in the
first place, it's worth wondering why safeguards weren't put in place on
the types themselves to prevent that.

My view on this is that the problem was really that the internals of
these methods implicitly relied on the assumption that the value they
were operating on was *actually a curve*, when this wasn't actually
guaranteed. Now, it's possible to make a bunch of small changes inside
the curve struct methods to account for that, but I think that's worse
than just guaranteeing that the data is valid upstream — sampling is
about as hot a code path as we're going to get in this area, and hitting
an additional branch every time it happens just to check that the struct
contains valid data is probably a waste of resources.

Another way of phrasing this is that even if we're only interested in
solving the crashes, the curve's validity needs to be checked at some
point, and it's almost certainly better to do this once at the point of
construction than every time the curve is sampled.

In cases where the control data is supplied dynamically, users would
already have to deal with empty curve outputs basically not working.
Anecdotally, I ran into this while writing the `cubic_splines` example,
and I think the diff illustrates the improvement pretty nicely — the
code no longer has to anticipate whether the output will be good or not;
it just has to handle the `Result`.

The cost of all this, of course, is that we have to guarantee that the
new invariant is actually maintained whenever we extend the API.
However, for the most part, I don't expect users to want to do much
surgery on the internals of their curves anyway.

in the `Cargo.toml`s (for docs.rs)
- Add `--generate-link-to-definition` to the `RUSTDOCFLAGS` environment
variable in the docs workflow (for dev-docs.bevyengine.org)
- Document all the workspace crates in the docs workflow (needed because
otherwise only the source code of the `bevy` package will be included,
making the argument useless)
- I think this also fixes #3662, since it fixes the bug on
dev-docs.bevyengine.org, while on docs.rs it has been fixed for a while
on their side.

Dedicated Reflect implementation for Set-like things (#13014)
# Objective

I just wanted to inspect `HashSet`s in `bevy-inspector-egui` but I
noticed that it didn't work for some reason. A few minutes later I found
myself looking into the bevy reflect impls noticing that `HashSet`s have
been covered only rudimentary up until now.

## Solution

I'm not sure if this is overkill (especially the first bullet), but
here's a list of the changes:

- created a whole new trait and enum variants for `ReflectRef` and the
like called `Set`
- mostly oriented myself at the `Map` trait and made the necessary
changes until RA was happy
- create macro `impl_reflect_for_hashset!` and call it on `std::HashSet`
and `hashbrown::HashSet`

Extra notes:

- no `get_mut` or `get_mut_at` mirroring the `std::HashSet`
- `insert[_boxed]` and `remove` return `bool` mirroring `std::HashSet`,
additionally that bool is reflect as I thought that would be how we
handle things in bevy reflect, but I'm not sure on this
- ser/de are handled via `SeqAccess`
- I'm not sure about the general deduplication property of this impl of
`Set` that is generally expected? I'm also not sure yet if `Map` does
provide this. This mainly refers to the `Dynamic[...]` structs
- I'm not sure if there are other methods missing from the `trait`, I
felt like `contains` or the set-operations (union/diff/...) could've
been helpful, but I wanted to get out the bare minimum for feedback
first

---

## Changelog

### Added
- `Set` trait for `bevy_reflect`

### Changed
- `std::collections::HashSet` and `bevy_utils::hashbrown::HashSet` now
implement a more complete set of reflect functionalities instead of
"just" `reflect_value`
- `TypeInfo` contains a new variant `Set` that contains `SetInfo`
- `ReflectKind` contains a new variant `Set`
- `ReflectRef` contains a new variant `Set`
- `ReflectMut` contains a new variant `Set`
- `ReflectOwned` contains a new variant `Set`

## Migration Guide

- The new `Set` variants on the enums listed in the change section
should probably be considered by people working with this level of the
lib
### Help wanted! 

I'm not sure if this change is able to break code. From my understanding
it shouldn't since we just add functionality but I'm not sure yet if

- `AlphaMode::AlphaToCoverage` needs MSAA to be not off to do something

f0ff7fb544/examples/3d/transparency_3d.rs (L113-L117)

# Solution

- change MSAA in those examples

Don't ignore draw errors (#13240)
# Objective

- It's possible to have errors in a draw command, but these errors are
ignored

## Solution

- Return a result with the error

## Changelog

Renamed `RenderCommandResult::Failure` to `RenderCommandResult::Skip`
Added a `reason` string parameter to `RenderCommandResult::Failure`

## Migration Guide
If you were using `RenderCommandResult::Failure` to just ignore an error
and retry later, use `RenderCommandResult::Skip` instead.

This wasn't intentional, but this PR should also help with
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/12660 since we can turn a few
unwraps into error messages now.

Move Msaa to component (#14273)
Switches `Msaa` from being a globally configured resource to a per
camera view component.

Closes #7194

# Objective

Allow individual views to describe their own MSAA settings. For example,
when rendering to different windows or to different parts of the same
view.

## Solution

Make `Msaa` a component that is required on all camera bundles.

## Testing

Ran a variety of examples to ensure that nothing broke.

TODO:
- [ ] Make sure android still works per previous comment in
`extract_windows`.

---

## Migration Guide

`Msaa` is no longer configured as a global resource, and should be
specified on each spawned camera if a non-default setting is desired.

Fix button placement in split_screen example (#14405)
# Objective

Fixes the buttons in `split_screen` touching the edge of the viewport.

## Solution

This seems like it might potentially be "normal css-like" behavior with
absolutely positioned nodes and padding.
<details>
<summary>HTML test</summary>

```html
<html>
<body>
    <div style="width: 100%; height: 100%; padding: 20px;">
        <div style="width: 100%; height: 100%; padding: 20px; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center">
            <div style="width: 40px; height: 40px; border: 1px solid black;">&lt;</div>
            <div style="width: 40px; height: 40px; border: 1px solid black;">&gt;</div>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
```

</details>

Instead I just removed the padding from the root node.

## Testing

Added ui debug gizmos to the example and checked before/after.

Set scissor on upscale to match camera viewport (#14287)
# Objective

When the user renders multiple cameras to the same output texture, it
can sometimes be confusing what `ClearColorConfig` is necessary for each
camera to avoid overwriting the previous camera's output. This is
particular true in cases where the user uses mixed HDR cameras, which
means that their scene is being rendered to different internal textures.

## Solution

When a view has a configured viewport, set the GPU scissor in the
upscaling node so we don't overwrite areas that were written to by other
cameras.

## Testing

Ran the `split_screen` example.

Add support for environment map transformation (#14290)
# Objective

- Fixes: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14036

## Solution

- Add a world space transformation for the environment sample direction.

## Testing

- I have tested the newly added `transform` field using the newly added
`rotate_environment_map` example.


https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2de77c65-14bc-48ee-b76a-fb4e9782dbdb


## Migration Guide

Cyclic splines (#14106)
# Objective

Fill a gap in the functionality of our curve constructions by allowing
users to easily build cyclic curves from control data.

## Solution

Here I opted for something lightweight and discoverable. There is a new
`CyclicCubicGenerator` trait with a method `to_curve_cyclic` which uses
splines' control data to create curves that are cyclic. For now, its
signature is exactly like that of `CubicGenerator` — `to_curve_cyclic`
just yields a `CubicCurve`:
```rust
/// Implement this on cubic splines that can generate a cyclic cubic curve from their spline parameters.
///
/// This makes sense only when the control data can be interpreted cyclically.
pub trait CyclicCubicGenerator<P: VectorSpace> {
    /// Build a cyclic [`CubicCurve`] by computing the interpolation coefficients for each curve segment.
    fn to_curve_cyclic(&self) -> CubicCurve<P>;
}
```

This trait has been implemented for `CubicHermite`,
`CubicCardinalSpline`, `CubicBSpline`, and `LinearSpline`:

(Each type pictured respectively with the control points rendered as
green spheres; tangents not pictured in the case of the Hermite spline.)

These curves are all parametrized so that the output of `to_curve` and
the output of `to_curve_cyclic` are similar. For instance, in
`CubicCardinalSpline`, the first output segment is a curve segment
joining the first and second control points in each, although it is
constructed differently. In the other cases, the segments from
`to_curve` are a subset of those in `to_curve_cyclic`, with the new
segments appearing at the end.

## Testing

I rendered cyclic splines from control data and made sure they looked
reasonable. Existing tests are intact for splines where previous code
was modified. (Note that the coefficient computation for cyclic spline
segments is almost verbatim identical to that of their non-cyclic
counterparts.)

The Bezier benchmarks also look fine.

---

## Changelog

- Added `CyclicCubicGenerator` trait to `bevy_math::cubic_splines` for
creating cyclic curves from control data.
- Implemented `CyclicCubicGenerator` for `CubicHermite`,
`CubicCardinalSpline`, `CubicBSpline`, and `LinearSpline`.
- `bevy_math` now depends on `itertools`.

---

## Discussion

### Design decisions

The biggest thing here is just the approach taken in the first place:
namely, the cyclic constructions use new methods on the same old
structs. This choice was made to reduce friction and increase
discoverability but also because creating new ones just seemed
unnecessary: the underlying data would have been the same, so creating
something like "`CyclicCubicBSpline`" whose internally-held control data
is regarded as cyclic in nature doesn't really accomplish much — the end
result for the user is basically the same either way.

Similarly, I don't presently see a pressing need for `to_curve_cyclic`
to output something other than a `CubicCurve`, although changing this in
the future may be useful. See below.

A notable omission here is that `CyclicCubicGenerator` is not
implemented for `CubicBezier`. This is not a gap waiting to be filled —
`CubicBezier` just doesn't have enough data to join its start with its
end without just making up the requisite control points wholesale. In
all the cases where `CyclicCubicGenerator` has been implemented here,
the fashion in which the ends are connected is quite natural and follows
the semantics of the associated spline construction.

### Future direction

There are two main things here:
1. We should investigate whether we should do something similar for
NURBS. I just don't know that much about NURBS at the moment, so I
regarded this as out of scope for the PR.
2. We may eventually want to change the output type of
`CyclicCubicGenerator::to_curve_cyclic` to a type which reifies the
cyclic nature of the curve output. This wasn't done in this PR because
I'm unsure how much value a type-level guarantee of cyclicity actually
has, but if some useful features make sense only in the case of cyclic
curves, this might be worth pursuing.

Pack multiple vertex and index arrays together into growable buffers. (#14257)
This commit uses the [`offset-allocator`] crate to combine vertex and
index arrays from different meshes into single buffers. Since the
primary source of `wgpu` overhead is from validation and synchronization
when switching buffers, this significantly improves Bevy's rendering
performance on many scenes.

This patch is a more flexible version of #13218, which also used slabs.
Unlike #13218, which used slabs of a fixed size, this commit implements
slabs that start small and can grow. In addition to reducing memory
usage, supporting slab growth reduces the number of vertex and index
buffer switches that need to happen during rendering, leading to
improved performance. To prevent pathological fragmentation behavior,
slabs are capped to a maximum size, and mesh arrays that are too large
get their own dedicated slabs.

As an additional improvement over #13218, this commit allows the
application to customize all allocator heuristics. The
`MeshAllocatorSettings` resource contains values that adjust the minimum
and maximum slab sizes, the cutoff point at which meshes get their own
dedicated slabs, and the rate at which slabs grow. Hopefully-sensible
defaults have been chosen for each value.

Unfortunately, WebGL 2 doesn't support the *base vertex* feature, which
is necessary to pack vertex arrays from different meshes into the same
buffer. `wgpu` represents this restriction as the downlevel flag
`BASE_VERTEX`. This patch detects that bit and ensures that all vertex
buffers get dedicated slabs on that platform. Even on WebGL 2, though,
we can combine all *index* arrays into single buffers to reduce buffer
changes, and we do so.

The following measurements are on Bistro:

Overall frame time improves from 8.74 ms to 5.53 ms (1.58x speedup):

## Migration Guide

### Changed

* Vertex and index buffers for meshes may now be packed alongside other
buffers, for performance.
* `GpuMesh` has been renamed to `RenderMesh`, to reflect the fact that
it no longer directly stores handles to GPU objects.
* Because meshes no longer have their own vertex and index buffers, the
responsibility for the buffers has moved from `GpuMesh` (now called
`RenderMesh`) to the `MeshAllocator` resource. To access the vertex data
for a mesh, use `MeshAllocator::mesh_vertex_slice`. To access the index
data for a mesh, use `MeshAllocator::mesh_index_slice`.

bevy_reflect: Improve DynamicFunction ergonomics (#14201)
# Objective

Many functions can be converted to `DynamicFunction` using
`IntoFunction`. Unfortunately, we are limited by Rust itself and the
implementations are far from exhaustive. For example, we can't convert
functions with more than 16 arguments. Additionally, we can't handle
returns with lifetimes not tied to the lifetime of the first argument.

In such cases, users will have to create their `DynamicFunction`
manually.

Let's take the following function:

```rust
fn get(index: usize, list: &Vec<String>) -> &String {
    &list[index]
}
```

This function cannot be converted to a `DynamicFunction` via
`IntoFunction` due to the lifetime of the return value being tied to the
second argument. Therefore, we need to construct the `DynamicFunction`
manually:

```rust
DynamicFunction::new(
    |mut args, info| {
        let list = args
            .pop()
            .unwrap()
            .take_ref::<Vec<String>>(&info.args()[1])?;
        let index = args.pop().unwrap().take_owned::<usize>(&info.args()[0])?;
        Ok(Return::Ref(get(index, list)))
    },
    FunctionInfo::new()
        .with_name("get")
        .with_args(vec![
            ArgInfo:🆕:<usize>(0).with_name("index"),
            ArgInfo:🆕:<&Vec<String>>(1).with_name("list"),
        ])
        .with_return_info(ReturnInfo:🆕:<&String>()),
);
```

While still a small and straightforward snippet, there's a decent amount
going on here. There's a lot of room for improvements when it comes to
ergonomics and readability.

The goal of this PR is to address those issues.

## Solution

Improve the ergonomics and readability of manually created
`DynamicFunction`s.

Some of the major changes:
1. Removed the need for `&ArgInfo` when reifying arguments (i.e. the
`&info.args()[1]` calls)
2. Added additional `pop` methods on `ArgList` to handle both popping
and casting
3. Added `take` methods on `ArgList` for taking the arguments out in
order
4. Removed the need for `&FunctionInfo` in the internal closure (Change
1 made it no longer necessary)
5. Added methods to automatically handle generating `ArgInfo` and
`ReturnInfo`

With all these changes in place, we get something a lot nicer to both
write and look at:

```rust
DynamicFunction::new(
    |mut args| {
        let index = args.take::<usize>()?;
        let list = args.take::<&Vec<String>>()?;
        Ok(Return::Ref(get(index, list)))
    },
    FunctionInfo::new()
        .with_name("get")
        .with_arg::<usize>("index")
        .with_arg::<&Vec<String>>("list")
        .with_return::<&String>(),
);
```

Alternatively, to rely on type inference for taking arguments, you could
do:

```rust
DynamicFunction::new(
    |mut args| {
        let index = args.take_owned()?;
        let list = args.take_ref()?;
        Ok(Return::Ref(get(index, list)))
    },
    FunctionInfo::new()
        .with_name("get")
        .with_arg::<usize>("index")
        .with_arg::<&Vec<String>>("list")
        .with_return::<&String>(),
);
```

## Testing

You can test locally by running:

```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect
```

## Internal Migration Guide

> [!important]
> Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This
migration guide was written for developers relying on `main` during this
cycle, and is not a breaking change coming from 0.14.

* The `FromArg::from_arg` trait method and the `Arg::take_***` methods
no longer take a `&ArgInfo` argument.
* What used to be `Arg` is now `ArgValue`. `Arg` is now a struct which
contains an `ArgValue`.
* `Arg::take_***` methods now require `T` is also `TypePath`
* Instances of `id: ArgId` in `ArgError` have been replaced with `index:
usize`
* `ArgList::push` is now `ArgList::push_arg`. It also takes the new
`ArgValue` type.
* `ArgList::pop` has become `ArgList::pop_arg` and now returns
`ArgValue`. `Arg::pop` now takes a generic type and downcasts to that
type. It's recommended to use `ArgList::take` and friends instead since
they allow removing the arguments from the list in the order they were
pushed (rather than reverse order).
* `FunctionError::InvalidArgCount` is now
`FunctionError::ArgCountMismatch`
* The closure given to `DynamicFunction::new` no longer has a
`&FunctionInfo` argument. This argument can be removed.

Remove need for EventLoopProxy to be NonSend (#14198)
# Objective

- Continue to pare down the uses on NonSend resources in the engine. In
this case, EventLoopProxy used to be `!Sync`, but is now `Sync` in the
latest version of winit.

## Solution

- New type `EventLoopProxy` as `EventLoopProxyWrapper` to make it into a
normal resource.
- Update the `custom_user_event` example as it no longer needs to
indirectly access the `EventLoopProxy` through a static variable
anymore.

## Testing

- Ran the example. The resource exists just for users to use, so there
aren't any in engine uses for it currently.

---

## Changelog

- make EventLoopProxy into a regular resource. 

## Migration Guide

`EventLoopProxy` has been renamed to `EventLoopProxyWrapper` and is now
`Send`, making it an ordinary resource.

Before:
```rust
event_loop_system(event_loop: NonSend<EventLoopProxy<MyEvent>>) {
    event_loop.send_event(MyEvent);
}
```

After:
```rust
event_loop_system(event_loop: Res<EventLoopProxy<MyEvent>>) {
    event_loop.send_event(MyEvent);
}

bevy_reflect: Add DynamicClosure and DynamicClosureMut (#14141)
# Objective

As mentioned in
[this](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/13152#issuecomment-2198387297)
comment, creating a function registry (see #14098) is a bit difficult
due to the requirements of `DynamicFunction`. Internally, a
`DynamicFunction` contains a `Box<dyn FnMut>` (the function that reifies
reflected arguments and calls the actual function), which requires `&mut
self` in order to be called.

This means that users would require a mutable reference to the function
registry for it to be useful— which isn't great. And they can't clone
the `DynamicFunction` either because cloning an `FnMut` isn't really
feasible (wrapping it in an `Arc` would allow it to be cloned but we
wouldn't be able to call the clone since we need a mutable reference to
the `FnMut`, which we can't get with multiple `Arc`s still alive,
requiring us to also slap in a `Mutex`, which adds additional overhead).

And we don't want to just replace the `dyn FnMut` with `dyn Fn` as that
would prevent reflecting closures that mutate their environment.

Instead, we need to introduce a new type to split the requirements of
`DynamicFunction`.

## Solution

Introduce new types for representing closures.

Specifically, this PR introduces `DynamicClosure` and
`DynamicClosureMut`. Similar to how `IntoFunction` exists for
`DynamicFunction`, two new traits were introduced: `IntoClosure` and
`IntoClosureMut`.

Now `DynamicFunction` stores a `dyn Fn` with a `'static` lifetime.
`DynamicClosure` also uses a `dyn Fn` but has a lifetime, `'env`, tied
to its environment. `DynamicClosureMut` is most like the old
`DynamicFunction`, keeping the `dyn FnMut` and also typing its lifetime,
`'env`, to the environment

Here are some comparison tables:

|   | `DynamicFunction` | `DynamicClosure` | `DynamicClosureMut` |
| - | ----------------- | ---------------- | ------------------- |
| Callable with `&self` |  |  |  |
| Callable with `&mut self` |  |  |  |
| Allows for non-`'static` lifetimes |  |  |  |

|   | `IntoFunction` | `IntoClosure` | `IntoClosureMut` |
| - | -------------- | ------------- | ---------------- |
| Convert `fn` functions |  |  |  |
| Convert `fn` methods |  |  |  |
| Convert anonymous functions |  |  |  |
| Convert closures that capture immutable references |  |  |  |
| Convert closures that capture mutable references |  |  |  |
| Convert closures that capture owned values | [^1] |  |  |

[^1]: Due to limitations in Rust, `IntoFunction` can't be implemented
for just functions (unless we forced users to manually coerce them to
function pointers first). So closures that meet the trait requirements
_can technically_ be converted into a `DynamicFunction` as well. To both
future-proof and reduce confusion, though, we'll just pretend like this
isn't a thing.

```rust
let mut list: Vec<i32> = vec![1, 2, 3];

// `replace` is a closure that captures a mutable reference to `list`
let mut replace = |index: usize, value: i32| -> i32 {
  let old_value = list[index];
  list[index] = value;
  old_value
};

// Convert the closure into a dynamic closure using `IntoClosureMut::into_closure_mut`
let mut func: DynamicClosureMut = replace.into_closure_mut();

// Dynamically call the closure:
let args = ArgList::default().push_owned(1_usize).push_owned(-2_i32);
let value = func.call_once(args).unwrap().unwrap_owned();

// Check the result:
assert_eq!(value.take::<i32>().unwrap(), 2);
assert_eq!(list, vec![1, -2, 3]);
```

### `ReflectFn`/`ReflectFnMut`

To make extending the function reflection system easier (the blanket
impls for `IntoFunction`, `IntoClosure`, and `IntoClosureMut` are all
incredibly short), this PR generalizes callables with two new traits:
`ReflectFn` and `ReflectFnMut`.

These traits mimic `Fn` and `FnMut` but allow for being called via
reflection. In fact, their blanket implementations are identical save
for `ReflectFn` being implemented over `Fn` types and `ReflectFnMut`
being implemented over `FnMut` types.

And just as `Fn` is a subtrait of `FnMut`, `ReflectFn` is a subtrait of
`ReflectFnMut`. So anywhere that expects a `ReflectFnMut` can also be
given a `ReflectFn`.

To reiterate, these traits aren't 100% necessary. They were added in
purely for extensibility. If we decide to split things up differently or
add new traits/types in the future, then those changes should be much
simpler to implement.

### `TypedFunction`

Because of the split into `ReflectFn` and `ReflectFnMut`, we needed a
new way to access the function type information. This PR moves that
concept over into `TypedFunction`.

Much like `Typed`, this provides a way to access a function's
`FunctionInfo`.

By splitting this trait out, it helps to ensure the other traits are
focused on a single responsibility.

### Internal Macros

The original function PR (#13152) implemented `IntoFunction` using a
macro which was passed into an `all_tuples!` macro invocation. Because
we needed the same functionality for these new traits, this PR has
copy+pasted that code for `ReflectFn`, `ReflectFnMut`, and
`TypedFunction`— albeit with some differences between them.

Originally, I was going to try and macro-ify the impls and where clauses
such that we wouldn't have to straight up duplicate a lot of this logic.
However, aside from being more complex in general, autocomplete just
does not play nice with such heavily nested macros (tried in both
RustRover and VSCode). And both of those problems told me that it just
wasn't worth it: we need to ensure the crate is easily maintainable,
even at the cost of duplicating code.

So instead, I made sure to simplify the macro code by removing all
fully-qualified syntax and cutting the where clauses down to the bare
essentials, which helps to clean up a lot of the visual noise. I also
tried my best to document the macro logic in certain areas (I may even
add a bit more) to help with maintainability for future devs.

### Documentation

Documentation for this module was a bit difficult for me. So many of
these traits and types are very interconnected. And each trait/type has
subtle differences that make documenting it in a single place, like at
the module level, difficult to do cleanly. Describing the valid
signatures is also challenging to do well.

Hopefully what I have here is okay. I think I did an okay job, but let
me know if there any thoughts on ways to improve it. We can also move
such a task to a followup PR for more focused discussion.

## Internal Migration Guide

> [!important]
> Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This
migration guide was written for developers relying on `main` during this
cycle, and is not a breaking change coming from 0.14.

### `IntoClosure`

`IntoFunction` now only works for standard Rust functions. Calling
`IntoFunction::into_function` on a closure that captures references to
its environment (either mutable or immutable), will no longer compile.

Instead, you will need to use either `IntoClosure::into_closure` to
create a `DynamicClosure` or `IntoClosureMut::into_closure_mut` to
create a `DynamicClosureMut`, depending on your needs:

```rust
let punct = String::from("!");
let print = |value: String| {
    println!("{value}{punct}");
};

// BEFORE
let func: DynamicFunction = print.into_function();

// AFTER
let func: DynamicClosure = print.into_closure();
```

### `IntoFunction` lifetime

Additionally, `IntoFunction` no longer takes a lifetime parameter as it
always expects a `'static` lifetime. Usages will need to remove any
lifetime parameters:

```rust
// BEFORE
fn execute<'env, F: IntoFunction<'env, Marker>, Marker>(f: F) {/* ... */}

// AFTER
fn execute<F: IntoFunction<Marker>, Marker>(f: F) {/* ... */}
```

### `IntoReturn`

`IntoReturn::into_return` now has a where clause. Any manual
implementors will need to add this where clause to their implementation.

Allow volumetric fog to be localized to specific, optionally voxelized, regions. (#14099)
Currently, volumetric fog is global and affects the entire scene
uniformly. This is inadequate for many use cases, such as local smoke
effects. To address this problem, this commit introduces *fog volumes*,
which are axis-aligned bounding boxes (AABBs) that specify fog
parameters inside their boundaries. Such volumes can also specify a
*density texture*, a 3D texture of voxels that specifies the density of
the fog at each point.

To create a fog volume, add a `FogVolume` component to an entity (which
is included in the new `FogVolumeBundle` convenience bundle). Like light
probes, a fog volume is conceptually a 1×1×1 cube centered on the
origin; a transform can be used to position and resize this region. Many
of the fields on the existing `VolumetricFogSettings` have migrated to
the new `FogVolume` component. `VolumetricFogSettings` on a camera is
still needed to enable volumetric fog. However, by itself
`VolumetricFogSettings` is no longer sufficient to enable volumetric
fog; a `FogVolume` must be present. Applications that wish to retain the
old global fog behavior can simply surround the scene with a large fog
volume.

By way of implementation, this commit converts the volumetric fog shader
from a full-screen shader to one applied to a mesh. The strategy is
different depending on whether the camera is inside or outside the fog
volume. If the camera is inside the fog volume, the mesh is simply a
plane scaled to the viewport, effectively falling back to a full-screen
pass. If the camera is outside the fog volume, the mesh is a cube
transformed to coincide with the boundaries of the fog volume's AABB.
Importantly, in the latter case, only the front faces of the cuboid are
rendered. Instead of treating the boundaries of the fog as a sphere
centered on the camera position, as we did prior to this patch, we
raytrace the far planes of the AABB to determine the portion of each ray
contained within the fog volume. We then raymarch in shadow map space as
usual. If a density texture is present, we modulate the fixed density
value with the trilinearly-interpolated value from that texture.

Furthermore, this patch introduces optional jitter to fog volumes,
intended for use with TAA. This modifies the position of the ray from
frame to frame using interleaved gradient noise, in order to reduce
aliasing artifacts. Many implementations of volumetric fog in games use
this technique. Note that this patch makes no attempt to write a motion
vector; this is because when a view ray intersects multiple voxels
there's no single direction of motion. Consequently, fog volumes can
have ghosting artifacts, but because fog is "ghostly" by its nature,
these artifacts are less objectionable than they would be for opaque
objects.

A new example, `fog_volumes`, has been added. It demonstrates a single
fog volume containing a voxelized representation of the Stanford bunny.
The existing `volumetric_fog` example has been updated to use the new
local volumetrics API.

## Changelog

### Added

* Local `FogVolume`s are now supported, to localize fog to specific
regions. They can optionally have 3D density voxel textures for precise
control over the distribution of the fog.

### Changed

* `VolumetricFogSettings` on a camera no longer enables volumetric fog;
instead, it simply enables the processing of `FogVolume`s within the
scene.

## Migration Guide

* A `FogVolume` is now necessary in order to enable volumetric fog, in
addition to `VolumetricFogSettings` on the camera. Existing uses of
volumetric fog can be migrated by placing a large `FogVolume`
surrounding the scene.
