Adds the possibility of having a little number on top of icons.
At the moment this is used for:
* Outliner
* Node Editor bread-crumb
* Node Group node header
For the outliner there is almost no functional change. It is mostly a refactor
to handle the indicators as part of the icon shader instead of the outliner
draw code. (note that this was already recently changed in a5d3b648e3).
The difference is that now we use rounded border rectangle instead of
circles, and we can go up to 999 elements.
So for the outliner this shows the number of collapsed elements of a
certain type (e.g., mesh objects inside a collapsed collection).
For the node editors is being used to show the use count for the data-block.
This is important for the node editor, so users know whether the node-group
they are editing (or are about to edit) is used elsewhere. This is
particularly important when the Node Options are hidden, which is the
default for node groups appended from the asset libraries.

Note: This can be easily enabled for ID templates which can then be part

These functions are almost identical, the main difference being
BLI_join_dirfile didn't trim existing slashes when joining paths
however this isn't an important difference that warrants a separate
function.
This was not properly respected, and in general with multiple passes and layers
it's unclear what this should do exactly without breaking some render passes.
Better to keep this image format for raw unmodified render results.
This adds support for showing geometry passed to the Viewer in the 3d
viewport (instead of just in the spreadsheet). The "viewer geometry"
bypasses the group output. So it is not necessary to change the final
output of the node group to be able to see the intermediate geometry.
**Activation and deactivation of a viewer node**
* A viewer node is activated by clicking on it.
* Ctrl+shift+click on any node/socket connects it to the viewer and
makes it active.
* Ctrl+shift+click in empty space deactivates the active viewer.
* When the active viewer is not visible anymore (e.g. another object
is selected, or the current node group is exit), it is deactivated.
* Clicking on the icon in the header of the Viewer node toggles whether
its active or not.
**Pinning**
* The spreadsheet still allows pinning the active viewer as before.
When pinned, the spreadsheet still references the viewer node even
when it becomes inactive.
* The viewport does not support pinning at the moment. It always shows
the active viewer.
**Attribute**
* When a field is linked to the second input of the viewer node it is
displayed as an overlay in the viewport.
* When possible the correct domain for the attribute is determined
automatically. This does not work in all cases. It falls back to the
face corner domain on meshes and the point domain on curves. When
necessary, the domain can be picked manually.
* The spreadsheet now only shows the "Viewer" column for the domain
that is selected in the Viewer node.
* Instance attributes are visualized as a constant color per instance.
**Viewport Options**
* The attribute overlay opacity can be controlled with the "Viewer Node"
setting in the overlays popover.
* A viewport can be configured not to show intermediate viewer-geometry
by disabling the "Viewer Node" option in the "View" menu.
**Implementation Details**
* The "spreadsheet context path" was generalized to a "viewer path" that
is used in more places now.
* The viewer node itself determines the attribute domain, evaluates the
field and stores the result in a `.viewer` attribute.
* A new "viewer attribute' overlay displays the data from the `.viewer`
attribute.
* The ground truth for the active viewer node is stored in the workspace
now. Node editors, spreadsheets and viewports retrieve the active
viewer from there unless they are pinned.
* The depsgraph object iterator has a new "viewer path" setting. When set,
the viewed geometry of the corresponding object is part of the iterator
instead of the final evaluated geometry.
* To support the instance attribute overlay `DupliObject` was extended
to contain the information necessary for drawing the overlay.
* The ctrl+shift+click operator has been refactored so that it can make
existing links to viewers active again.
* The auto-domain-detection in the Viewer node works by checking the
"preferred domain" for every field input. If there is not exactly one
preferred domain, the fallback is used.
Known limitations:
* Loose edges of meshes don't have the attribute overlay. This could be
added separately if necessary.
* Some attributes are hard to visualize as a color directly. For example,
the values might have to be normalized or some should be drawn as arrays.
For now, we encourage users to build node groups that generate appropriate
viewer-geometry. We might include some of that functionality in future versions.
Support for displaying attribute values as text in the viewport is planned as well.
* There seems to be an issue with the attribute overlay for pointclouds on
nvidia gpus, to be investigated.

When a change happens which invalidates view layers the syncing will be postponed until the first usage.
This will improve importing or adding many objects in a single operation/script.
`BKE_view_layer_need_resync_tag` is used to tag the view layer to be out of sync. Before accessing
`BKE_view_layer_active_base_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_object_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_collection`
or `BKE_view_layer_object_bases` the caller should call `BKE_view_layer_synced_ensure`.
Having two functions ensures that partial syncing could be added as smaller patches in the future. Tagging a
view layer out of sync could be replaced with a partial sync. Eventually the number of full resyncs could be
reduced. After all tagging has been replaced with partial syncs the ensure_sync could be phased out.
This patch has been added to discuss the details and consequences of the current approach. For clarity
the call to BKE_view_layer_ensure_sync is placed close to the getters.
In the future this could be placed in more strategical places to reduce the number of calls or improve
performance. Finding those strategical places isn't that clear. When multiple operations are grouped
in a single script you might want to always check for resync.
Some areas found that can be improved. This list isn't complete.
These areas aren't addressed by this patch as these changes would be hard to detect to the reviewer.
The idea is to add changes to these areas as a separate patch. It might be that the initial commit would reduce
performance compared to master, but will be fixed by the additional patches.
**Object duplication**
During object duplication the syncing is temporarily disabled. With this patch this isn't useful as when disabled
the view_layer is accessed to locate bases. This can be improved by first locating the source bases, then duplicate
and sync and locate the new bases. Will be solved in a separate patch for clarity reasons ({D15886}).
**Object add**
`BKE_object_add` not only adds a new object, but also selects and activates the new base. This requires the
view_layer to be resynced. Some callers reverse the selection and activation (See `get_new_constraint_target`).
We should make the selection and activation optional. This would make it possible to add multiple objects
without having to resync per object.
**Postpone Activate Base**
Setting the basact is done in many locations. They follow a rule as after an action find the base and set
the basact. Finding the base could require a resync. The idea is to store in the view_layer the object which
base will be set in the basact during the next sync, reducing the times resyncing needs to happen.

The only real difference between `GPU_SHADER_2D_FLAT_COLOR` and
`GPU_SHADER_3D_FLAT_COLOR` is that in the vertex shader the 2D
version uses `vec4(pos, 0.0, 1.0)` and the 3D version uses
`vec4(pos, 1.0)`.
But VBOs with 2D attributes work perfectly in shaders that use 3D
attributes. Components not specified are filled with components from
`vec4(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)`.
So there is no real benefit to having two different shader versions.

Use an off-screen buffer for the screen-shot operator.
Reading from the front-buffer immediately after calling swap-buffers
failed for GHOST/Wayland in some cases.
While EGL can request to preserve the front-buffer while drawing,
this isn't always supported. So workaround the problem by avoiding
use of the front-buffer entirely.
With libepoxy we can choose between EGL and GLX at runtime, as well as
dynamically open EGL and GLX libraries without linking to them.
This will make it possible to build with Wayland, EGL, GLVND support while
still running on systems that only have X11, GLX and libGL. It also paves
the way for headless rendering through EGL.
libepoxy is a new library dependency, and is included in the precompiled

`rna_access.c` is a quite big file, which makes it rather hard and

mitigate the problem. Moreover, I was looking into refactoring the quite

Although e.g. in the dopesheet there is no specific concept of
active action, displaying panels requires singling out one action
reference. It is more efficient and clearer to implement this
natively in the context rather than using selected_visible_actions[0].
- In the Action Editor the action is taken from the header.
- In the Dope Sheet the first selected action is chosen, because
there is no concept of an active channel or keyframe.
- In the Graph Editor the action associated with the active curve
is used, which should also be associated with the active vertex.
This case may be different from selected_visible_actions[0].

Grease Pencil animation channels are now also shown in the Dopesheet
mode of the Dopesheet editor and in the Timeline.
Grease pencil related events are now listened not only by container
`SACTCONT_GPENCIL` (Grease Pencil Dopesheet), but also
`SACTCONT_DOPESHEET` (main Dopesheet), and `SACTCONT_TIMELINE`
(timeline).
A new Animation Filter flag was added: `ANIMFILTER_FCURVESONLY`. For now
this only filters out Grease Pencil Layer channels.
**Implemented:**
- Preview range set: now only considers selected Grease Pencil keyframes
when `onlySel` parameter is true. Not only this allows the operator to
work with grease pencil keyframes in main dopesheet, but it also fixes
the operator in the Grease Pencil dopesheet.
- Translation: allocation (and freeing) of specific memory for
translation of Grease Pencil keyframes.
- Copy/Paste: call to both Fcurve and GPencil operators, to allow for
mixed selection. Errors are only reported when both the FCurve and
GPencil functions fail to paste anything.
- Keyframe Type change and Insert Keyframe: removed some code here to
unify Grease Pencil dopesheet and main dopesheet code.
- Jump, Snap, Mirror, Select all/box/lasso/circle, Select left/right,
Clickselect: account for Grease Pencil channels within the channels
loop, no need for `ANIMFILTER_FCURVESONLY` there.
**Not Implemented:**
- Graph-related operators. The filter `ANIMFILTER_FCURVESONLY` is
naively added to all graph-related operators, meaning more-or-less all
operators that used `ANIMFILTER_CURVE_VISIBLE`.
- Select linked: is for F-curves channel only
- Select more/less: not yet implemented for grease pencil layers.
- Clean Keys, Sample, Extrapolation, Interpolation, Easing, and Handle
type change: work on Fcurve-channels only, so the
`ANIMFILTER_FCURVESONLY` filter is activated
Graying out these operators (when no fcurve keyframe is selected) can be
done with custom poll functions BUT may affect performance. This is NOT
done in this patch.

- Preview items (items that draw a preview with a label underneath)
- Margins between items scale so the entire region width is filled with
column, rather than leaving a big empty block at the right if there's
