Since brush assets were merged, all sculpt and paint modes have a unified
"Brush" tool that is used for all brushes. Based on feedback, this mixes brush
types a bit too much, so some specific tools that use brushes should be brought
back. These brush types just behave very different from the main brush types,
and users expect them to be easily accessible from the toolbar. This also makes
them more discoverable and having tools that remember their last used brush can
be useful too (e.g. assigning shortcut to eraser tool to switch back to last
used eraser, rather than a specific eraser brush).
Note that further changes are planned, to get a true "best of both worlds"
design, where people can use a global brush library without having to worry
about tools, but brushes can also be accessed via tool categorization.
The new design works well with both mental models without being a compromise
in-between.
a79f9100a6 already brought back some tool for grease pencil draw mode, with this
commit the design is now applied to all sculpt & paint modes.
See PR for a list of tools that were brought back.

There should be no visible change. The difference is mostly on how we
changed the rounding to handle the conversion from color space to the
new linear space of the attribute colors.
To convert the materials in icon_geom.blend I used:
```
import bpy
from mathutils import Color
def convert_material(material):
if not material.use_nodes:
return
if not material.node_tree:
return
node_tree = material.node_tree
for node in node_tree.nodes:
if node.type != 'RGB':
continue
color_original = node.outputs[0].default_value
color_new = Color(color_original[:3]).from_srgb_to_scene_linear()
color = (*color_new, color_original[3])
node.outputs[0].default_value = color
def main():
for material in bpy.data.materials:
convert_material(material)
main()
```
- Add icons for Sculpt Cloth, Clay Thumb and Draw Face Sets, as well as GP Tint, Replace and Transform Fill tools
- Tweak icons for Sculpt Rotate, Pinch, Multiplane Scrape, Inflate, Blob, Draw Sharp, based on feedback on Devtalk
