Previously, the Blender video renderer did not have support for
encoding video to AV1 (not to be confused with the container AVI).
The proposed solution is to leverage the existing FFMpeg renderer
to encode to AV1.
Note that avcodec_find_encoder(AV_CODEC_ID_AV1) usually returns
"libaom-av1" which is the "reference implementation" for AV1 encoding
(the default for FFMpeg, and is slow). "libsvtav1" is faster and
preferred so there is extra handling when fetching the AV1 codec for
encoding such that "libsvtav1" is used when possible.
This commit should only affect the options available for video
rendering, which includes the additional AV1 codec to choose from, and
setting "-crf".
Also note that the current release of FFMpeg for ArchLinux does not
support "-crf" for "libsvtav1", but the equivalent option "-qp" is
supported and used as a fallback when "libsvtav1" is used (as
mentioned here: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AV1#SVT-AV1 ).
(Actually, both "-crf" and "-qp" is specified with the same value in
the code. When a release of FFMpeg obtains support for "-crf" for
"libsvtav1" is released, the code shouldn't be needed to change.)
The usage of the AV1 codec should be very similar to the usage of the
H264 codec, but is limited to the "mp4" and "mkv" containers.
This patch pertains to the "VFX & Video" module, as its main purpose
is to supplement the Video Sequencer tool with the additional AV1
codec for encoded video output.

It can be assumed that all scripts comply with basic pep8 formatting
regarding white-space, indentation etc.
Also remove note in best practices page & update `tests/python/pep8.py`.
If we want to exclude some scripts from make format,
this can be done by adding them to `ignore_files` in:
source/tools/utils_maintenance/autopep8_format_paths.py
Or using `# nopep8` for to ignore for individual lines.

The Output Properties > Output panel now has a Color Management subpanel to
override scene settings. When set to Override instead of Follow Scene, there
are settings to:
* For OpenEXR, choose a (linear) colorspace for RGBA passes
* For other file formats, use different display/view/look/exposure/gamma
These settings affect animation render output, image save of renders and the
compositor file output node. Additionally, the image save operator and
compositor file output nodes also support overriding color management.
Includes some layout changes to the relevant panels to accomdate the new
settings and to improve consistency. Ideally subpanels would be used to better
organize these settings, however nodes and operators don't currently support
creating subpanels.

Order copyright immediately after the license block,
this was done almost everywhere with a few exceptions.
Remove authors from a few files (we had already removed "Contributors"
section however with old patches being applied this gets added back in).
Also move descriptive text into the doxygen comment block under \file.
In some cases remove the text as it was accidentally copied.
I remember when we originally decided on the Dimensions panel,
one of the reasons we combined time and image size properties in the same panel,
was simply because the 2.49 and previous UIs used fixed-size panels,
so we often put two categories of properties inside a panel, using two columns.
Now that we no longer do this, we could clarify and simplify some panels
by splitting them, such as the Output > Dimensions panel

It is quite common to high framerate video with modern cameras. To make
it easier to edit this footage new framerate presets are added and the
soft limit increased.
Note there is a bug with preset ordering, Blender thinks "120" goes
before "24" this bug needs to be fixed before these changes can be
merged.

The "Max B-frames" options were misplaced. Uses the usual layout of a checkbox
together with the number button now.

We use column or row headings here to bring more structure, and to give
the eye visual anchors which aid eye-scanning. The left-aligned
checkboxes likewise help with this. And we keep the adherence to the
center line, so the alignment matches up between the various buttons and
controls.
* Changes the property split percentage from 50/50% to 40/60%. This is
needed to give enough space for the checkboxes. But in most cases this
looks better anyway - see Transform panel. In some cases it simply
fills out the available space more efficently.
* Fix various hacks where we previously used manually defined splits.
When we did this, the alignment was never quite right, and the layout
code was a mess.
* Adds column headings to many places where a list of checkboxes all
share a common purpose or leading text.
* Add checkbox + value configurations various places where a checkbox
only serves to enable the value slider
* Removes most uses of grid flow layout. The grid flow layouts combine
poorly with column headings, and also they would mess alignment up
badly. The grid flow layouts also often made buttons and controls jump
around on the screen if you would just resize editors slightly,
causing visual confusion, making users lose their place. The logic for
at what time the list of items would re-flow was often flawed, jumping
to multiple columns too fast or too late - and frankly, the grid flow
layouts would often just look bad.

Am not even sure that it is possible to use fstrings at all when UI
translation is required (that is, is a sensible, reasonable way that
does not make things even more complicated than they already are), but
one thing is certain, this won't be trivial to get it working, so
definitively not a job for now.
Instead just do not use fstrings for UI translatable strings.
Confusing to call a menu a panel when subclasses need to define
panel specific variables.
Avoid having bl_ui depend on bl_operator module too.
Since this isn't an operator, add utils modules for shared types.

Having the hostname allows us to identify which machine rendered which
frame in our render farm.
This simply uses the host's name, and doesn't do any DNS lookup of any
IP address of the machine. As such, it's only usable for identification
purposes, and not for reachability over a network.
