This came up in #106591 which reported that changing a Light Group would
not work when alt-clicking the property field (which is the usual method
to edit a property for multiple objects at once).
This is because string properties were not supported in
`ui_selectcontext_apply` which is now done.
Similar to 1318660b04 [which added support for pointer properties].
Adding general support for string properties means this method can now
be used for many more things:
- changing all sorts of ID names (objects, meshes, ...)
- many settings in modifiers (e.g. vertexgroups)
- geometry nodes modifier properties (e.g. attribute names)
- ...
Fixes#106591

This patch refactors the texture samples code by mainly splitting the
eGPUSamplerState enum into multiple smaller enums and packing them
inside a GPUSamplerState struct. This was done because many members of
the enum were mutually exclusive, which was worked around during setting
up the samplers in the various backends, and additionally made the API
confusing, like the GPU_texture_wrap_mode function, which had two
mutually exclusive parameters.
The new structure also improved and clarified the backend sampler cache,
reducing the cache size from 514 samplers to just 130 samplers, which
also slightly improved the initialization time. Further, the
GPU_SAMPLER_MAX signal value was naturally incorporated into the
structure using the GPU_SAMPLER_STATE_TYPE_INTERNAL type.
The only expected functional change is in the realtime compositor, which
now supports per-axis repetition control, utilizing new API functions
for that purpose.
This patch is loosely based on an older patch D14366 by Ethan Hall.

Previously the only way to control the subtype was to remove the group
input or output and create it again. This commit adds a dropdown to
change an existing socket, for supported socket types.

It was necessary to fix the UI code slightly; the layout's context
wasn't being used in calls to an operator's enum items callback.

Popover menu buttons had their labels translated but not their
descriptions, although they were properly extracted.
This commit fixes that using the `TIP_()` macro.
Found together with a fix for #106043.
Edge panning (in Node Editors, Outliner and VSE) does unnecessary
updates when the view has not changed at all. This includes adding
`MOUSEMOVE` events (even if you dont move the mouse at all).
Adding `MOUSEMOVE` events results in the transform system constantly running (even if you dont move the mouse) which we certainly want to avoid.
Rectify this by only calling these updates when the view changes.

The goal is to solve confusion of the "All rights reserved" for licensing
code under an open-source license.
The phrase "All rights reserved" comes from a historical convention that
required this phrase for the copyright protection to apply. This convention
is no longer relevant.
However, even though the phrase has no meaning in establishing the copyright
it has not lost meaning in terms of licensing.
This change makes it so code under the Blender Foundation copyright does
not use "all rights reserved". This is also how the GPL license itself
states how to apply it to the source code:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software ...
This change does not change copyright notice in cases when the copyright
is dual (BF and an author), or just an author of the code. It also does
mot change copyright which is inherited from NaN Holding BV as it needs
some further investigation about what is the proper way to handle it.
For example
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver()
{
}
```
becomes
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver() {}
```
Saves quite some vertical space, which is especially handy for
constructors.

No user visible changes expected.
With this, empty rows will be added to the tree view so that the
background box is at least a few lines high (like with UI lists). If the
view is used as a drop target, data can be dropped on these empty rows
too then.
This was requested for the Cycles light linking project.
These often want to store a non-const reference to its owner, i.e. the
object that created them. I don't really like removing const here, but
it makes sense to enable this use case.
Initial idea was to calculate the view boundaries when finishing the
`uiBlock`, after layout code and such ran. But the panel code applies an
offset later, which breaks this. The view boundaries would be off by
something like 100px.
Remove `enum eAnimFilterFlags` from `ED_keyframing.h`, the function
parameters that pass them around, and the code that uses them to filter
things.
Only one of the enum values was actually used, `ANIMFILTER_KEYS_LOCAL`.
It indicates whether to only consider keys on the datablock itself (when
set), or in the case of objects, also consider keys on its materials or
shapekeys (when cleared). However, this flag was *always* set, making it
possible to remove the code that handled it.
Finally there was only one function that received a `filters` parameter
that could be different across calls: it would either have value
`ANIMFILTER_KEYS_LOCAL` or `0`. However, the only flag it actually tested
for was `ANIMFILTER_KEYS_MUTED`, which was never actually set. So all of
that could be removed as well.
Just for grepping-through-history sake, these are the flags that were
removed:
- `ANIMFILTER_KEYS_LOCAL`
- `ANIMFILTER_KEYS_MUTED`
- `ANIMFILTER_KEYS_ACTIVE`
- `ANIMFILTER_KEYS_NOMAT`
- `ANIMFILTER_KEYS_NOSKEY`
Note: this is NOT about the flags defined in `ED_anim_api.h`, in `enum
eAnimFilter_Flags`. Note the different names, the one that's removed
doesn't have an `_`.
No functional changes.

Previously UI view items would support custom drop controllers (so they
could react to data being dragged over them and dropped). This is now
more generalized so the views themselves can do this as well.
Main changes:
- Support calculating a bounding box for the view, so this can be used
for recognizing mouse hovering.
- Rename "drop controller" to "drop target", this is more clear, less
abstract naming.
- Generalize drop controllers/targets. There is a new
`ui::DropTargetInterface` now.
- Add support for drop targets in the `ui::AbstractView` base class, so
custom views can use this.

Align the labels on the tabs so that when you read them, your head is tilted
towards the content, instead of away.
When tabs are drawn to the right of panels in the sidebar, the labels are read
from bottom to top, which may suggest that this tab does not belong to the area.
This change does it like this:
* Sidebar on the right: the text is read from top to bottom.
* Sidebar on the left: the text keeps reading from bottom to top.

The Cycles light linking branch is using the tree view UI but it seemed
to use the "wrong" layout. It wasn't clear that the layout has to be
reactivated before building the view.
Make it harder to use the API wrong now by requiring the layout as
argument, so the building can ensure it's active.
Various UI code would store the `AssetHandle` in a way that turns out to
be unsafe. The file-data is part of the file browser caching system that
releases file-data when a certain maximum of items is in the cache. So
even while just iterating over the assets, earlier iterated asset
handles may become invalid. Now asset handles are really treated as
volatile, short lived objects.
For the asset-view, the fix was more involved. There we need an RNA
collection of asset-handles, because the UI list code requires that. So
we create a dummy collection and get the asset handles as needed by
index. This again meant that I had to keep the index of the collection
and the asset-list in sync, so all filtering had to be moved to the UI
list.
I tried duplicating the file-data out of the cache instead, but that
caused problems with managing the memory/ownership of the preview
images.
`AssetHandle` should be removed and replaced by `AssetRepresentation`,
but this would be an even more disruptive change (breaking API
compatibility too).

These are not really about reading or writing .blend files, they are
general utilities for file-names/paths. Having to link to the
blendloader library just for these utilities is annoying.
Moved them to `BKE_blendfile.h` now, in agreement with Bastien.

Maximum distance of lines in screen space is limited. This limit seems
reasonable for FPS higher than 1, but UI allows to set 0.01 FPS with
soft. even lower values are possible.
This patch allows for normal operation within soft limits and labels are
still visible and quite usable within hard limits.

When the height of the editor couldn't fit the sidebar tabs, they would shrink
to a size too small to read the tab label.
This change matches the behaviour with the Properties Editor navigation bar,
by introducing the following improvements:
* Avoid truncating tab labels.
* Allow scrolling when tabs don't fit.
Behaviour is similar to how scrolling works in the Properties Editor navigation
bar, supporting mouse wheel up/down and MMB, and switching tabs with
`Ctrl+Wheel Up/Down`.

Decorator buttons would be skipped when setting the tooltip data for all
buttons in the layout, but the duplicated data would still be marked as
used, so not freed.
After ed870f87b9, panels headers displayed inside panels had their
label duplicated when translations were enabled. This is because a
string comparison was made against the original message, instead of
the translated message.

- "Lines" in the sense of number of lines
- "Number" can mean "amount, count" or "index, offset"
- "Second" can be an ordinal number or a unit
- "Root": add the brush curve to the "square root falloff" sense
- "Strip" can be a sequence or a type of hair rendering
- "Constant" in the sense of a value, for the Geometry Nodes add
submenu (#105447).
Additionally, extract:
- "Press a key" from the Keymap preferences.
- "MaskLayer", upon new mask layer creation

Previously [D16255](https://developer.blender.org/D16255)
There is no option to adjust the edge_width like there is in the preferences for vertex_size and face_dot_size.
I only added the option for 3DView and UV/Image Editor, and limited both to a max size of 5 pixel, since the edges do not look very nice with too high values.
In the UV Editor only, there are always black outlines on the edges, I could not find a way to reduce the increasing thickness of these black outlines.
The default edge_width of 1 pixel:
Here the edge_width with a falue of 3:
And here the visible increase of the dark border of the edges and their overlap (even at the maxed size of 5):
Lastly for the 3DView the max edge_width of 5 looks like this:

No behavior change intended.
Many file drag & drop handlers used the icon assigned for dragging to
determine what type of data is dragged. This is fragile, for example
changing an icon would break drag & drop (!). This happened a few times,
e.g. see 3788003cda. It's also causing problems with #104830, which
changes how file browser drag data is handled.
Instead use the file extension to determine the file type.
- "Value" in the sense of color lightness is not the same word in
Japanese as other usages. See #105113.
- "Double" as a data type vs. a value.
Also extract "Custom Color Presets" in the tracking UI.
Run clang-format as well.
