The author field is displayed in the UI as "Maintainer",
most of the original authors are no longer active or are part of the foundation.
Since the core add-ons are maintained the same as the rest of Blender they should be shown accordingly.
The exceptions here are the GLTF and Hydra add-ons; these Khronos Group and AMD are included as maintainers.
The orginal author field is preserved in the chance the add-on looses it's "core" status.

Changes to the Python API [0] broke the extension tags popover
which relied on RNA properties also having ID property access.
Replace the ID property based tags with a collection.

When dropping an extension onto Blender, the URL lookup would print
errors to the STDOUT if a repository directory was missing.
While this didn't break installation, these kinds of errors should
only be shown when the directory is expected to exist.
The issue was raised in #141212.
The base URL was used when reporting errors accessing a URL,
use the full URL being accessed instead since anything else
is misleading, the full URL is needed to troubleshoot issues.
I18n: Translate a few messages
- Translate add-on types in the user preferences.
- Translate a report which uses formatting.
- Do not translate scene names in `sequencer.scene_strip_add` operator
UI.
- Do translate the type of new scene in
`sequencer.scene_strip_add_new` operator.
- Translate Half and Float image format color depth enum items.
- Translate Mix node header with non-color data types.
- Translate sequencer modifiers' names if data translation is enabled.
Most issues reported by Ye Gui in #43295.

e.g. stands for "exempli gratia" in Latin which means "for example".
The best way to make sure it makes sense when writing is to just expand
it to "for example". In these cases where the text was "for e.g.", that
leaves us with "for for example" which makes no sense. This commit fixes
all 110 cases, mostly just just replacing the words with "for example",
but also restructuring the text a bit more in a few cases, mostly by
moving "e.g." to the beginning of a list in parentheses.

Previously when an addon is expanded on the UI, the "Maintainer" string
would be cut short until a `<` character, to prevent showing e-mail on the
UI, however there could be more than one person/email entries in there
so to prevent cutting short the string, now we use regex to take out the
email part only, so full maintainer string is displayed.

When updates are available, clicking on the button in the status bar
was only showing "Add-on" updates.
Restore the ability to show "All" extension types which is
set when showing updates.
The EXTENSIONS_OT_package_install_files instance had its _drop_variables
was temporarily set to True before being storing the extension values.
This value was never read so the assignment can be removed.
When developing and testing add-ons it can be useful to get to the
folder containing such add-on.
When Developer Extras is enabled, show a folder icon next to the
extension's path to quickly open it using the system file browser.
Also display it in the list of duplicate add-ons, if any, so user can
access them more conveniently.

The logic to generalize over downloading a URL or reading data from
the file-system included static values in the iterator along with the
data being read - so the caller could access the total expected size of
the data being read. While this worked, the result didn't read well.
Now these iterators yield the data being read, a new type has been
added for the caller to read the size hint from.
Also correct invalid doc-string.
Accessing the internal extensions command would warn that the processes
stdout wasn't closed on completion. While it's harmless at the moment,
ensure it's closed using a context manager.
Regression in [0] caused extensions with an empty wheel list
to raise an unhandled exception when extracting the Python
version from the wheel list.
Besides resolving this error, account for errors using the wheel
list since it isn't type checked in this code-path.

Add error handling for rare but possible failures on installation.
- Account for the destination extension directory being a file.
- Handle the exception if renaming the temporary directory fails.
When an extension could could be removed but it's directory could be
renamed, the install operation would fail anyway.
Resolve by completing the installation when the directory can be moved.
Report as part of #129884.
Regression in [0] caused wheels with an older Python version
that used CPython's stable ABI to be considered incompatible.
Resolve using the stable ABI for version checks.
