Replace plain-text type information with the type syntax used
for Python's type annotations as it's more concise, especially for
callbacks which often didn't include useful type information.
Note that this change only applies to inline doc-strings,
generated doc-strings from RNA need to be updated separately.
Details:
- Many minor corrections were made when "list" was incorrectly used
instead of "sequence".
- Some type information wasn't defined in the doc-strings and has been
added.
- Verbose type info would benefit from support for type aliases.
When baking an Action on an object which has custom properties that come
from an addon or python script that isn't loaded, the baking would fail with:
```
TypeError: Cannot assign a 'dict' value to the existing 'hops' Group IDProperty
```
This comes from an addon that isn't present or loaded on a users machine.
The fix is to check for `IDProperty` and skip those.

With layered actions, the bake action wasn't working.
More specifically it failed to create a slot on the action
and link that slot on the animation data.
The fix is to create the slot.

When keying custom properties that are defined by an addon,
you can't use square brackets. The GUI buttons already reflect that.
The baking code and the keyframe insertion code didn't respect
that and so were able to key properties that are defined as non-keyable.
## Solutions
I've solved the issue on the C++ side by resolving
the path twice, once without and in case that didn't work the
second time with brackets. While that does solve the issue
this feels really dirty and I feel like I am misusing the system here.
**However it is absolutely needed**.
When resolving a path with brackets to a property defined
by an addon, you get an `IDProperty` disguised as a `PropertyRNA`
which will not have the correct flags set.
By checking if a property `is_animatable` in python, all that do not have that can be skipped.
Also making sure the path is passed without brackets in the correct cases.

Baked armature properties are now placed in a single group "Armature
Custom Properties", instead of creating a new group "Group.nnn" for each
custom property.
This bug was not reported.

When baking custom properties, avoid keeping references to custom
property values that are known to be impossible to animate anyway.
The crash was caused by custom properties containing collections of ID
properties. Keeping Python references around for too long and then
accessing them caused Blender to crash.
My solution is to only keep track of custom property values that might
be keyable. For some this is certain: floats, ints, bools are keyable,
whereas lists, dicts, etc. are not. However, strings can be the RNA
value for an enum property, which is keyed via its integer
representation. So, the new function `can_be_keyed()` can return `True`,
`False`, or `None`. By skipping those values where it returns `False`
the crash is already resolved, making it good enough for now.

When baking neither Object nor Pose data, the Bake Action operator could
raise a Python exception instead of handling the situation gracefully.
This is now resolved; the regular 'Nothing to Bake' message is shown
instead.
Add custom properties to Action Bake.
objects will bake all animatable custom properties. Armatures will bake all bone custom properties,
as well as object (armature) custom properties.

Currently, we're limited to the type of Bake Data, without any control over the channels that get baked.
With this change, the user now has a fine degree of control as to which types of f-curve data will be written to the baked action (i.e., location, rotation, scale & b-bone channels).

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.

The RNA function `FCurve.update()` now also deduplicates keys. This is done
in a way that is independent of key selection; simply the last key in the
list of keyframes 'wins' and overwrites earlier ones. It is exactly the
same as `FCurve.keyframe_points.deduplicate()`.
Introduce `BKE_fcurve_deduplicate_keys()` to merge keys that are on the
same time, or within the time comparison threshold (1/100th of a frame).
When merging two consecutive keys, the last one 'wins' and determines
the final key *value*. The first key's *time* is retained, to ensure the
reference point for the next comparisons is stable. The only exception
here is when there is a key exactly on an integer frame number, in which
case that one is preferred.
The function is exposed in RNA as `fcurve.keyframe_points.deduplicate()`
This commit also introduces a new function `BKE_fcurve_bezt_shrink(fcu,
new_totvert);` that can reallocate the `bezt` array to ensure removed
keys no longer take up memory.
The RNA function `fcurve.update()` currently performs two steps, which
are now exposed to RNA as well, as `keyframe_points.sort()` and
`keyframe_points.handles_recalc()`. This is so that Python code can
sort, deduplicate, and then recalculate the handles only once (calling
`update` + `deduplicate` would do the latter twice).
In Blender 4.0 the deduplication will also be part of `fcurve.update()`,
see #107126.

This commit implements described in the #104573.
The goal is to fix the confusion of the submodule hashes change, which are not
ideal for any of the supported git-module configuration (they are either always
visible causing confusion, or silently staged and committed, also causing
confusion).
This commit replaces submodules with a checkout of addons and addons_contrib,
covered by the .gitignore, and locale and developer tools are moved to the
main repository.
This also changes the paths:
- /release/scripts are moved to the /scripts
- /source/tools are moved to the /tools
- /release/datafiles/locale is moved to /locale
This is done to avoid conflicts when using bisect, and also allow buildbot to
automatically "recover" wgen building older or newer branches/patches.
Running `make update` will initialize the local checkout to the changed
repository configuration.
Another aspect of the change is that the make update will support Github style
of remote organization (origin remote pointing to thy fork, upstream remote
pointing to the upstream blender/blender.git).
