Rename modules in `./scripts/modules/` to use an underscore prefix to
make it clear they aren't intended to be part of public API's. This
also means there is no implication that these modules should be stable,
allowing us to change them based on Blender's internal usage.
The following modules have been marked as private:
- `animsys_refactor`
- `bl_console_utils`
- `bl_i18n_utils`
- `bl_previews_utils`
- `bl_rna_utils`
- `bl_text_utils`
- `bl_ui_utils`
- `bpy_restrict_state`
- `console_python`
- `console_shell`
- `graphviz_export`
- `keyingsets_utils`
- `rna_info`
- `rna_manual_reference`
- `rna_xml`
Note that we could further re-arrange these modules
(under `_bpy_internal` in some cases), this change is mainly to mark
them as private, further changes can be handed on a case-by-case basis.

Fix: correctly update Actions when renaming/re-typing a custom property
When renaming a custom property on a data-block, only update the
animation in a slot for that data-block. Previously all F-Curves were
updated, even when they were meant for other data-blocks.
This also handles the cases where the type of a custom property is
changed, and not just its name.

When trying to find and open an older file, it is annoying when it is not in the
recent files list anymore. This patch increases the length of the recent files
list, without making the menu huge by making better use of menu-search.
Specifically the following is changed: * Number of remembered recent files is
increased from 20 to 200 by default. * The recent files menu is limited to 20
entries. * When activating menu search (by pressing space when in the menu), all
available recent files can be searched. * There is a new "More..." menu entry at
the bottom, which also activates the menu search.

Small layout and links adjustments to the splash screen.
- Extend list of templates to fit the new Storyboarding template.
- Extend the list of recent files by one row, so it matches templates.
- Add icons to templates.
- Rename `Donate` to `Donate to Blender`.
- Move donate link down so it's more prominent.
- Make separator visible.
- Add "Get Involved" link.
- Remove "Tutorials" link. The Support link already provides help, and
it's been a while since we no longer promote tutorials on blender.org.

The "Asset Shelf" checkbox can be confusing for people, they enable it
but it still can't get the shelf to show up. This is because the shelf
is only available in certain contexts (e.g. pose mode and paint modes
in the 3D view, more is planned see blender/blender#135061). Gray out
the toggle with a disabled hint when not available.
The region toggle pie menus will hide the item.

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.

I'm not sure when this stopped working. The function in question is
quite confusing since it's called twice with two different purposes.
Fixing the exception is simple though. Just checking the data type
for "None" prevents changing the data type to one that's invalid given
the context. I didn't find a simple way to add an error message though.

Add support for a 5th modifier key called "hyper",
this is a modifier supported on Wayland & X11 although
other platforms could support an additional modifier too.
Both GNOME and KDE can map CapsLock to Hyper.
Other compositors can use the XKB_DEFAULT_OPTIONS environment variable.
This allows users to have an additional modifier for their own use
that doesn't conflict with other keys.

This happened for context attributes if already "complete" attributes
were typed/pasted in.
Reason is that this copies functionality from our intellisense
codecompletion where this is expected behavior, for context attributes
we cannot really use "tab" to expand, so it is less useful here.
When confirming (with the additional "."), the keymap entry would be
broken, so better solve in a way that we dont end up with those "." by
removing it.
NOTE: there might be ways to enhance the string-search behavior here (by
properly supporting "tab-expanding"), but this is a bit out-of-scope for
this bugfix.

Add icons to better identify data types in the Batch Rename type menu.
Makes it easy for users to recognize icons they are already familiar

This PR adds new RNA properties that deprecate and replace any `sequence` property.
The old prooperties are still there and fully functional, but the description is changed
to indicate that these will be removed in the future and that the new properties should
be used instead.
| Deprecated property | Replacement property |
| --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `context.active_sequence_strip` | `context.active_strip` |
| `context.selected_editable_sequences` | `context.selected_editable_strips` |
| `context.selected_sequences` | `context.selected_strips` |
| `context.sequences` | `context.strips` |
| `SequenceEditor.sequences` | `SequenceEditor.strips` |
| `SequenceEditor.sequences_all` | `SequenceEditor.strips_all` |
| `MetaStrip.sequences` | `MetaStrip.strips` |
Previously, rna paths for animation data on strips started with `sequence_editor.sequences`.
This PRadds versioning for the rna paths to make sure to use
the new naming scheme. This does mean that in previous versions of blender,
the animations don't show but the data is not lost (even if the file is saved in the older version).
Also do some cleanup of existing python scripts inside the source to use the
new properties.

- Wrap the closing parenthesis onto it's own line
which makes assignments to the return value
read better.
- Reduce right-shift with multi-line function calls.
- In the context of color balance, refers to a power function. Uses
ID_MOVIECLIP context, because the ID_NODE is already used for math
functions.
- In the context of the scale constraint, also a power function.
- In the context of physics and particle settings, refers to a
falloff.
- In the context of property subtypes and units, refers to a
quantity.
Issue reported by Hoang Duy Tran.
"Light" already has multiple contexts, but some were missing:
- In general, "Light" refers to a Blender Light object. In many cases,
this comes from an `id_type` enum, already using the ID context. Use
it also for properties that were missing that context.
- In the context of render passes, "Light" is the actual illumination
factor, not the light emitor. A new "Render Layer" translation
context is introduced for this purpose as no existing ones are both
specific and explicit enough.
Issue reported by Hoang Duy Tran.
As discussed in #128066, we want that activating a brush makes sure the
most appropriate tool is activated. For example activating an eraser
brush should activate an eraser tool, if available. This makes the
tool and brush binding two ways, which is more clear. Plus it means that
users don't have to care about tools at all if they don't want to, they
can just keep switching brushes and Blender takes care of the tool.
Implementation wise, this works by letting a Python operator lookup a
tool for a given brush type name, when activating a brush.

BaseException was used as a catch-all in situations where it
didn't make sense and where "Exception" is more appropriate
based on Python's documentation & error checking tools,
`pylint` warns `broad-exception-caught` for e.g.
BaseException includes SystemExit, KeyboardInterrupt & GeneratorExit,
so unless the intention is to catch calls to `sys.exit(..)`,
breaking a out of a loop using Ctrl-C or generator-exit,
then it shouldn't be used.
Even then, it's preferable to catch those exceptions explicitly.
Do not allow renaming liboverride IDs from batch-rename either.
Users who really want to rename liboverrides should use python/RNA API
instead, this should not be exposed to standard UI tools (as renaming
liboverride IDs can lead to quite some confusing setups).
- Move sys_info into an internal module to avoid having so many
top level modules for Blender's internal functionality.
- Rename system_info sub-modules that pre-fill URL's for clarity.
- Move top-level exception handling into the operator.
- Report an error if an unexpected exception occurs.
- Use `Exception` instead of `BaseException` as there is no reason to
catch the additional exceptions.
- Remove use of sys_info from the command line example,
replace with in-lined system info.
This commit adds a python script that can collect some of the
information necessary to fill out a bug report.
The primary use case is to help users collect system information for
a bug report in the case that Blender can't open.
CMD and sh files are included to help users use the Python script.

Previously when renaming an IDProperty the existing paths in the
animation/driver system isn't updated, this leads to missing animation
after renaming the property. Now `BKE_animdata_fix_paths_rename_all`
will be called so the animation system records the updated name.

- Operator descriptions use tip_() since they will be displayed in
tooltips.
- Extension messages:
- Split "(Add-on|Theme) \"{:s}\" already installed!" into two
messages.
- Use rpt_() to translate error messages.
- Restore core add-on name and description translation.
- Use DATA_ to translate paint material slot name, so that translation
happens only if the user enabled it for user-created data.
- Node Wrangler contains functions used to build operators' poll
methods. This change allows them to be properly translated by using
str.format() instead of f-strings, and explicit extraction with
tip_().

Extract
- Cycles denoiser enum.
- Extensions user preferences UI.
- Node operator poll message from new node function.
Improve
- Split "(Enabled|Disabled) on startup, overriding the preference."
into two messages.
Disambiguate
- "Add" when describing the action of adding something should use the
Operator context.
- "Dimensions", in noise textures.
- "Transform" as a noun, the matrix transform type of Geometry Nodes,
as opposed to the verb to move things in space.
- "Parent" as a noun or verb (the parent of an object, to parent an
object to another).

These messages are part of enum items not directly used by their
EnumProperty, because they are returned by a function. They cannot be
accessed in RNA at all times, and need to be extracted manually.
