This patch adds support for two of the three selection domains in the Edit Mode tool settings: point and stroke.
Affected selection operators: select all, lasso select, select pick, box select.

Add a quaternion rotation socket type, and using the recently added
rotation attribute type, support the type in most of the multi-type
geometry nodes, and modifier attribute inputs and outputs.
The socket is still exposed with an XYZ Euler default value.
In the future we can add modes to this rotation value similar
to object rotations.
Rotation values have no implicit conversions to other types.
Nodes to convert to and from rotation values will be added
in a follow-up commit.
For now, the new socket type is hidden behind and experimental
option, because we haven't chosen the final color for it yet.

Adds an optional list of panels to node trees. Each socket can be
assigned a panel. UI panels will be created in the future in the
modifier for these grouped sockets.
Panels are stored as a pointer array in node trees, next to socket
declarations. Each panel has a name, but it does not have to be unique.
In future a panel might also store whether it is visible by default and
similar information.
C API and RNA API are both added. Panels and their socket
assignments are accessible to users through another list in the "Group"
tab of the node editor sidebar.
Sockets in the same panel will remain together even when adding,
removing, or moving sockets or panels, renaming, etc.
A socket can be moved up or down within a panel but each panel
remains a contiguous block. Actual tree views may be created later.

Store subdivision surface creases in two new named float attributes:
- `crease_vert`
- `crease_edge`
This is similar to 2a56403cb0.
The attributes are naming conventions, so their data type and domain
aren't enforced, and may be interpolated when necessary. Editing tools
and the subdivision surface modifier use the hard-coded name. It might
be best if these were edited as generic attributes in the future, but
in the meantime using generic attributes helps.
The attributes are visible in the list, which is how they're now meant
to be removed. They are now interchangeable with any tool that works
with the generic attribute system-- even tools like vertex paint can
affect creases now.
This is a breaking change. Forward compatibility isn't preserved for
versions before 3.6, and the `crease` property in RNA is removed in
favor of making a smaller API surface area with just the attribute API.
`Mesh.vertex_creases` and `Mesh.edge_creases` now just return the
matching attribute if possible, and are now implemented in Python.
New functions `*ensure` and `*remove` also replace the operators to
add and remove the layers for Python.
A few extrude node test files have to be updated because of different
(now generic) attribute interpolation behavior.

Face maps were added as a prototype of a new rigging solution during
2.8 development. Their storage is redundant with the newer generic
attribute system (specifically with integer face attributes), and
they were never used much. This commit removes the face map list
and converts the storage to an attribute with the name `face_maps`.
There is nowhere to store the face map names anymore, so those
are not kept.
It probably still makes sense to have a feature like mesh face gizmo
selection for rigging. But the design and implementation woulds likely
have to change significantly, including possibly changing the storage
type, and making use of the generic attribute system instead of a
special type.
See #105317 for more discussion.
This implements the `VIEW3D_OT_select_box` for the new grease pencil data-block.
Note that this also adds a `get_evaluated_grease_pencil_drawing_deformation` function, but there are TODOs left.
This will have to be updated once the modifier logic is in place.

* Enable "Experimental Compositors" in preferences, then choose
Realtime GPU execution mode in node editor sidebar.
* Only supports combined pass input and Render Result combined output.
* No viewer nodes, no file output nodes, and no node previews yet.

Add a user preference to set up a custom text editor for editing text
files with the "Edit Source" action in the UI context menu.
- An operator TEXT_OT_jump_to_file_at_point has been added.
- A custom editor can be set in the user preferences.
- A preset has been included for "Visual Studio Code".
- When the editor is not set, use Blender's internal editor.
Ref !108299.
The snap mode called "Face Nearest" (and the "Increment" but that's for
another time) doesn't behave like the other snap modes.
Unlike the other snap modes, "Face Nearest" does not act on a Snap
Base (or Snap Source).
It always acts on the origin of individually transformed elements, (such
as each vertex individually).
It works just like the "Project Individual Elements" option.
So this commit makes the following changes:
- `Snap With` was moved to the beginning of the popover
- `Align Rotation to Target` and `Backface Culling` have been moved closer to the snap targets
- `Snap With`, `Target Selection` and `Align Rotation to Target` are no longer hidden by varying the mode and options
- `Project Individual Elements` has been replaced with the `Face Project` option
- `Face Nearest` has been moved to stick together with the `Face Project` option

This commit simplifies the "Extrude" menu layout code.
This should make future modifications and maintenance easier.

This limitation was added to avoid conflicts with tools.
But since we now have the "allow_navigation" option on transform
operators, there is no real benefit to having this limitation.
"Remove addon" button was in the row labeled "Internet", which is
misleading when no documentation buttons appears in the same row.
Now a separate row is created instead.

This adds the operator `OBJECT_OT_grease_pencil_add` to create a new grease pencil object.
Currently it supports the `EMPTY` and `STROKE` type.
This also replaces the add menu for the legacy grease pencil type in the Shift+A menu when the experimental option is enabled.

Adds the "Corners of Edge" topology node to geometry nodes.
Combining this node with the "Face of Corner" node allows getting
informations about the faces connected to an edge. The behavior is
slightly non-obvious-- the node only gives the corner neighbors
that come *before* the current edge in directly neighboring faces.
This allows the operation to be easily reversed and reduces
redundancy between nodes.

For emitter particle systems, these were never rendered anyways, Path is
kept for hair systems of course.
As a consequence, the new default for particle systems is:
- render as None (users have to explicitly set this to object/
collection)
- display as point
When changing to Hair type, this automatically gets set back to
- render as Path
- display as Render
Changing back to emitter, will use points as display again (and render
as None -- same here, users have to explicitly set this to object/
collection)
Not sure if this is still for 3.6, patch is for 4.0 for now.
"Fixes" #80197
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/108231
Adds the initial stage for the grease pencil 3.0 project.
This patch includes:
* New ID and new object type.
* New DNA structures.
* New drawing engine for grease pencil (gpencil-next).
* Tests for the new grease pencil data-type.
* A few operators for conversion, switching modes and (simple) drawing.
Exposed to the user:
* An experimental option to switch to the new grease pencil.
* This will switch the grease pencil render engine to gpencil-next which can only render the new object type.
Current grease pencil objects will no longer render.
* Changing this option currently requires a restart of blender (for the keymap to update).
* A conversion setting in the `Object` > `Convert To` operator.
* A drawing operator in `Draw Mode`.
