The `Lineart` and `Opacity` modifier appear at the bottom of their respective
menus instead of following alphabetical order. There doesn't seem to be any
conceivable reason to do this, and it is inconsistent with how the modifiers
were laid out in older Blender versions. Fixes the order of the modifiers.

addon_utils.enable/disable now handle wheels so that the functions can
be used with extension add-ons.
A new argument `refresh_handled` supports scripts handing refresh
themselves which is needed to avoid refreshing many times in cases
when there are multiple calls to enable/disable.
This is mostly useful for internal operations.
Always use the Brush.color setting in the Draw mode side bar.
Technically the "Color" panel in the sidebar can draw in other modes,
but it's polling for explicit tools that limit it to the Draw mode
implicitly.
Use the appropriate brush or unified color in other GP modes based on
the unified paint settings flag.
Worth noting this was technically broken for a long time:
The default was that unified paint is disabled, so the GP panels would
use the brush color as expected. Enabling unified paint would then break
the colors, probably wasn't done very frequently since GP files
and e.g. mesh sculpting don't mix often. The default was changed in
#129127 to enable unified paint by default, which now breaks GP colors
by default.

Earlier in the brush assets project, for mesh sculpting, grease pencil,
and curves sculpting, the toolbar brush icon used was changed to a
version with a green highlight. This commit reverts that change to use
the monochrome grey icon instead in each of these modes.
For Sculpt mode specifically, the Paint tool icon is kept as this green
version to differentiate the usages. In future releases, further changes
are planned for sculpting related brushes to better represent their
functionality.

The label was hidden explicitly when saving changes wouldn't be
possible. But this was done for an earlier design iteration where there
would be a button to save changes, not just a label as indicator. The
indicator should always be shown when applicable.
When doing action baking, the option "Clear Constraints" mentions
it's doing visual keying while not actually using that option.
Just fixing the description, even though a better solution
would be to revisit the design of the options to see if they
even make sense in some configurations.

Vulkan backend selection will be hidden behind developer extras. There
are some issues which would not be inviting for users to start testing.
- Some basic functionality are not working (object selection, depth
testing)
- NVIDIA UI artifacts are annoying and unsure where the error is.
- AMD artifacts
- Memory leaks
The backend will still be part of Blender 4.3 only hidden behind an
additional flag.

Accidentally added in d70b10dcd4 and moved in dc652aeedb, the
`GREASE_PENCIL_OT_stroke_trim` operator is meant for usage in draw mode
(as the Cutter tool), but not in editmode. It is not the same as the
GPv2 Trim operator, see 4fbef3dc6b
To resolve, remove this from the menu again.

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.
With the brush assets project, many paint tools are no longer specified
by tool. To maintain functionality, this commit inspects the brush type
instead of hardcoding against the paint tool to ensure that no matter
which tool is being used, the UI displays correctly based on the brush.

This operator deals specifically with add-ons, using the term extensions
is misleading as it works for legacy (non-extension) add-ons and
extensions can also be themes.
All sculpt and paint modes should have the brush selector asset shelf
popup in the tool settings header. For curves sculpt mode this was
missing. There's no good reason for this, probably just an oversight.
PR #128051 made some improvements to code by cleaning up properties and
simplifying logic.
However, the default tool in most spaces is box select. By switching to
box select default, there should be more front-facing consistency across
spaces while still retaining near-identical behavior.
This patch would fix the small bug listed in #128671 while keeping the
simplified code benefits from #128051.
Also:
- Move selection keymap items up in the Sequencer (Global) keymap so it
is more visible (similar to Node Editor ordering).
- Split `side_of_frame` property for ctrl press keymap item into a
separate keymap item on ctrl click for both LCS and RCS to avoid
clashing with ctrl+drag for box selects in RCS.

From feedback: "Update Asset" sounds more like receiving a new version
of the brush, while this actually saves the changed brush to the asset
library. "Save Changes to Asset" is more clear and fits well with the
labels of other menu items in the menu.
Part of the brush assets project followups, see #116337.
Based on feedback, it seems important to indicate to the user when a brush has
unsaved changes.
There's no reliable updating mechanism we can use or hook into here, except for
RNA "update" callbacks. Brush data gets changed in many places in code, the only
way to do this seems manual tagging every time a brush property gets changed.
This PR introduces `BKE_brush_tag_unsaved_changes()` for this. I spent some time
going through all brush properties to ensure changes call the tagging function.
A known limitation with this will be that changes to dependencies won't be
indicated in the brush. E.g. Changing the texture attached to a brush won't make
the brush be indicated as changed.
The UI to indicate the changed brushes is being discussed still, see #128846.

In a Curves (not Curve) object, the MeshSequenceCache modifier is not
available from the "Add Modifier" dropdown.
However, the Alembic importer adds such a modifier onto the Curves
objects it creates. It is also possible to transfer such a modifier from
another object, regardless of its type.
Thus, this seems not to be an issue of compatibility of the modifier
with the Curves object type, but an UI/UX oversight.
`BKE_object_support_modifier_type_check` already has a correct check for
this, so just adding CURVES support to the appropriate menu.
Same is true for the POINTCLOUD type, so adding that as well.

Removes unused GPv2 functions in blenkernel.
Notes:
- Functions for layer masks are still in use, but annotations never
have layer masks in the first place. Would be good to remove the data
structures so we can remove the functions too.
- Some multi-frame edit functions are also still nominally used, but
multi-frame editing is not an active feature for annotations. This
should also be removed.

This renames the mode identifiers to be consistent with e.g. the context mode identifiers and other names used for the new Grease Pencil.
For `object.mode`:
* `PAINT_GPENCIL` -> `PAINT_GREASE_PENCIL`
* `SCULPT_GPENCIL` -> `SCULPT_GREASE_PENCIL`
* `VERTEX_GPENCIL` -> `VERTEX_GREASE_PENCIL`
* `WEIGHT_GPENCIL` -> `WEIGHT_GREASE_PENCIL`
For the internal `ob->mode` flag:
* `OB_MODE_PAINT_GPENCIL_LEGACY` -> `OB_MODE_PAINT_GREASE_PENCIL`
* `OB_MODE_SCULPT_GPENCIL_LEGACY` -> `OB_MODE_SCULPT_GREASE_PENCIL`
* `OB_MODE_VERTEX_GPENCIL_LEGACY` -> `OB_MODE_VERTEX_GREASE_PENCIL`
* `OB_MODE_WEIGHT_GPENCIL_LEGACY` -> `OB_MODE_WEIGHT_GREASE_PENCIL`
Resolves#127374.
