Introduce return-by-value APIs for handle-returning methods across touched toolkits, with nodiscard where appropriate, and keep legacy out-parameter signatures as deprecated wrappers for source compatibility.
- Add new return-by-value overloads for previously output-parameter methods in key classes across ApplicationFramework, DataExchange, ModelingAlgorithms, ModelingData, and Visualization
- Mark legacy output-parameter methods as deprecated and route them through the new overloads
- Update call sites to use the new APIs and simplify temporary-variable patterns
- Extend method documentation in OCCT Doxygen style with param/return sections and deprecation guidance
- Apply const-correctness updates for read-only handle arguments in STEP reader related interfaces
- Preserve compatibility for deprecated public wrappers by keeping exported out-of-line definitions where needed
- Perform minor cleanup of comments and parameter naming consistency
No functional behavior change is intended; this is an API modernization and migration-facilitation update.

- Added automated migration scripts for handle syntax, standard types, and macros
- Deprecated legacy `Standard_*` types and macros in favor of native C++ equivalents
- Introduced modern `occ` namespace with template-based type checking helpers
- Enhanced NCollection macros to support variadic arguments for complex template types- Added automated migration scripts for handle syntax, standard types, and macros

Majority of functions now simply call same functions from std namespace.
Functions that duplicate std namespace functionality are declared
deprecated.
Calls of deprecated functions are replaced with std functions calls.
- Corrected spelling errors in comments (e.g., "od" to "of", "thr" to "the")
- Removed unnecessary `<br>` HTML tags from comment formatting
- Normalized whitespace in comments for consistency
- Fixed terminology (e.g., "3-d" to "3D")
- Removed verbose function header comments (name, purpose) across multiple C++ source files.
- Introduced a single-line separator comment before each function for consistent formatting.
- Applied the change in visualization, modeling, algorithms, foundation, and application framework modules.
Reorganizing structure to have Module/TK/Package/FILES structure.
New structure reflect the structure inside IDE.
Migrate FILES, PACKAGES, EXTRLIB to CMake version to handle changes on updates.
No changes were done to installation layout, all installation result keep as before.
The migration was done using python script, see PR, which refactor automatically the structure.
Updated doc generation to have valid path to modules, toolkits and packages.
In case of PR into new version, IR-790 can be used as a target for the previous version.
