Continues and depends on #145609, part of #140360 project.
Previously, all 5 animation/video editors had different properties
for Scrubbing/Markers region. This PR adds new Region panel for it,
so that all editors can share one color.
Text color in this region was coming from regular editor text color.
To differentiate between editors (as is the pattern already with other editors),
and allow more modular themeability of regions, new Text color is added
for that region as well.

Continuation of #140360
New common properties for Channel and Channel Selected,
used in animation editors.
Previously Dope Sheet, Graph Editor, NLA, and Movie Clip Editor
had separate properties for them.

- Channels looked different in Dope Sheet and Graph Editor. In the former,
they were same color as the background, so only labels and icons were visible,
in the latter they had a darker color, so their outline was visible. We need to pick
which design we go for now that they're combined. I chose color from Graph
Editor for now, with alpha from Dope Sheet, since only that editor uses alpha.
---
There is a confusion with names of channel colors. In 4.5 there is:
- - "Channel" (singular, blue color) which refers to objects, actions,
and action slots that hold/combine channels.
- - "Channels" (plural, black color) which refers to individual channels.
This goes against how we name things. In theme, especially, we refer to object
colors as "Object", singular, not Objects, plular. Same goes for all elements except
this one, where individual elements are referred in plural.
To lessen the confusion, and also avoid unnecessary breaking changes in the
future (in case we want to rename blue things, which seems likely), in this PR
I swap those names. Main reason is that black color marks individual channels,
so it should be singular, and blue colors are combination of many channels,
so they should be plural. Otherwise even talking about them is awkward.
Note that renaming isn't a breaking change, because we already "broke" them
by moving them to common path from individual editors.

Continuing recent attempts to combine theme settings
and reduce complexity. part of #140360
This PR adds new root panel in theme called "Regions" which for now
includes two subpanels:
# Asset Shelf
This is just moving asset shelf from root to regions, where
it's more appropriate and less noisy.
No functional changes. (alternative to #144267)
# Channels
Previously known as "Theme Space List", or "Source List",
but in user interface we refer this region as "Channels".
This region is shared by all animation/video editors, and each had
a separate panel for theme properties. Now they're combined, and all
editors follow settings defined in Regions -> Channels.
Additionally, "Source List Title" property, which was never used is removed.
Properties are also renamed to be more intuitive and shorter.
# Toolbar / Sidebar
Previously was registered separately on every single editor. This allowed
for some extra customization, but in 5.0 need for this is reduced very much,
because elements drawn in those regions (tabs & tools) are also generalized,
so it makes sense to want same background color for them as well.
> This replaces 46 properties with 5, reducing the total by 41.

This commit changes the Blender macOS bundle and blender-thumbnailer
app extension bundle Info.plist `CFBundleVersion` key to use the "short"
version string (X.X.X) instead of the "long" version string (X.X.X +
date), following the specs.[^1]
This fixes an issue with Xcode bundle archiving where the previous long
version would cause an error to be thrown during archive validation:
```
ERROR: [ContentDelivery.Uploader.6000007BD0C0] CFBundleVersion, “5.0.0 2025-09-09”,
must be composed of one to three period-separated integers. (-19239)
```
The previous "long" version string is still used by the `CFBundleGetInfoString`
key and thus still shows up in the application informations.
See Pull Request for app preview before/after screenshots comparaison.

This PR updates the VSE strip modifiers interface.
It now uses the same design as the object modifiers.
Changes:
* Except for the "Mask Input" subpanel, the modifier UIs are unchanged.
* Modifiers can now be rearranged using drag & drop.
* Additionally, there is now an active strip modifier. This is exposed
though python via `strip.modifiers.active`.
This is in part for !139634 which needs the concept of an active modifier.
Notes:
* The `modifier.cc` file included all the implementation of all modifiers.
With the addition of a another new callback in this PR, this file was
getting quite big so I split everything out into individual files for all
modifiers. The modifiers are getting registered at launch.
* The modifier panels are getting added using a UI template
(`template_strip_modifiers`) very similar to the object modifiers.

Continuing #140360
This PR moves keyframe theme properties from editors into Common.
Besides Dope Sheet, keyframe properties were in:
- Sequencer (almost all types, and might use more in the future)
- 3D Viewport, where the active object name overlay used a separate Object Keyframe color when
it had keyframes on the current frame. Now it uses the common Keyframe Selected color, instead
of having its own property just for this little text.
- Keyframes in Movie Clip Editor were hard-coded white, now they use a common Keyframe color.
Selected colors used wrong long key selected color, now they use common Keyframe Selected color.
- Movie Clip Editor also used separate colors for what it called "Strips", but they are visually
the exact same thing as "long keys" in Dope Sheet, so they use common long key colors now.
There are Keyframe Border properties in Dope Sheet, Sequencer, and NLA, but they're not shared
because they're drawn on very different backgrounds, in different sizes, with different fill colors, so
it's difficult to make one color work for all of them, and it can restrict customization and accessibility.

Details:
- Long keys in Dope Sheet/Clip Editor and Strips in NLA used the same internal "strip" attribute.
Those needed to be separated to properly use long key colors in common, without worrying
about affecting unrelated things, and those two are as unrelated as they can get.
To properly separate them I added new "long_key" attributes, and corresponding
`TH_LONGKEY` and `TH_LONGKEY_SELECT`.
- Long keys in Movie Clip Editor had hardcoded alpha. Now they use alpha of the theme color.

This PR adds a slip tool in the toolbar with its own custom icon for
applying slips using the mouse. This is useful for e.g. tablets where a
keyboard is not handy and a button would be best to activate the
operator.
There is also a custom cursor that appears when hovering over valid,
slippable strips (and a "stop" icon when the strip cannot be slipped).
Alt may be used in order to ignore slipping connected strips when using
the tool, similar to selection logic. The slip tool only performs its
sole function of slipping and as such does not change the selection
state.
In the future, we can also add "slide" functionality to the same tool,
giving it multiple functions.

* Bundled ICC profiles for display spaces supported by Blender, and
embed them in the image file when saving.
* Verified to work for PNG, TIFF, JPEG and WebP, but not all file
formats support this.
* No ICC profile is written for sRGB currently. It would be a matter
of adding an icc file, however this may be a breaking change for
some use cases.
* Fix save as render of EXR files not properly changing the image

Uses CC0 licensed ICC files from the Compact ICC Profiles project.
This does not include support for saving HDR images. While there exist
ICC profiles for PQ, they are not well supported and the preferred method
for HDR is to write CICP tags. However OpenImageIO support for this is
still under development.

These are built into OpenColorIO, and will start working well with the upcoming

The ACES 2.0 view transform provides an alternative to AgX and Filmic, with
similar purpose. It is also useful for those working in an ACES pipeline when
the full ACES OpenColorIO config is not needed.

There are many accumulated unused properties in theme. Generally, it's a mess,
lot of copy-paste errors and leftovers between editors, shared functions with no
actual use, etc. Some were just added and never used, like Pattern and Layout nodes,
which were meant to be used with Texture Nodes I believe, but it never happened.
Overall 19 properties removed:
- 3D Viewport: Edge UV Face Select
- 3D Viewport: Last Selected Point
- Dope Sheet/Timeline: Value Sliders
- Dope Sheet/Timeline: View Sliders
- Nonlinear Animation: View Sliders
- Video Sequencer: Window Sliders
- Graph Editor/Drivers: Window Sliders
- Graph Editor/Drivers: Vertex Bevel
- Graph Editor/Drivers: Vertex Group Unreferenced
- Image/UV Editor: Vertex Bevel
- Image/UV Editor: Vertex Group Unreferenced
- Image/UV Editor: Freestyle Face Mask
- Image/UV Editor: Face Retopology
- Image/UV Editor: Face Orientation Front
- Image/UV Editor: Face Orientation Back
- Node Editors: Selected Text
- Node Editors: Pattern Node
- Node Editors: Layout Node
- Video Sequencer: Draw Action
---
Details:
- Made Vertex Bevel and Vertex Group Unreferenced colors in `rna_def_userdef_theme_spaces_vertex`
optional, so that they don't appear in Graph Editor and UV Editor theme properties, where they're unused.
- Same thing in `rna_def_userdef_theme_spaces_face` for face attributes (Freestyle Mark, Retopology),
so that they don't appear in UV Editor, where they're unused. Also did same for face orientation colors,
but used different argument for them, since they could be used in future (remember seeing PR for this).

Moving curve handle colors & size from space editors into common theme properties.
They are now shared by 3D Viewport, Image Editor, Graph Editor, and Movie Clip Editor,
instead of each of them having their own properties.
(Video in PR)
---
Details:
- NURB U/V lines, active spline, and last selected point colors were defined
in `rna_def_userdef_theme_spaces_curves` but were optional and only called by
3D viewport. Since no other editor calls that function anymore, I removed it and
moved those properties directly inside `rna_def_userdef_theme_space_view3d`.
- In Image Editor & Movie Clip Editor (Mask mode), curves don't ever show
selection colors, and Vector handles are generally never visible, that is
bug/missing in Blender in general, not a result of this PR.
- Handle vertex size were included in Dope Sheet and NLA, where handles don't
exist. Now as a side effect they're removed as well.

Moves more animation theme properties shared by different editors to the new Common panel.
- Playhead (was shared by 7 editors)
- Marker Line (was shared by 5 editors)
- Marker Line Selected (was shared by 5 editors)
- Channel (was shared by 3 editors)
- Sub-channel (was shared by 3 editors)
- Channel Group (was shared by 2 editors)
- Active Channel Group (was shared by 2 editors)
In total, 27 properties are replaced with 7.
---
User Visible Changes:
- "Current Frame" is renamed to "Playhead". It was general sentiment among
Anim and UI modules to rename this everywhere after "Playhead Snapping" was
added, and this is first step towards that. Name is more recognizable and it's
clear it refers to UI element, rather than something as generic as "current frame".
- Channel, Sub-channel, Channel Group, and Active Channel Group colors in
Dope Sheet had alpha, but ones in Graph and NLA editors didn't. New common
property is used for all three of them and has alpha, meaning two editors gain
alpha as well, but they don't use alpha, still only Dope Sheet does.
- Channel and Sub-channel had different color in NLA and didn't match Dope Sheet
and Graph Editor, now since it's shared it has same color, which is a visual change
(slighlty lighter blue).

The repeat zone color is changed back to the color it used in 4.5, to
avoid the need for people to re-learn the color. The closure socket and
zone share the same color, which is made more yellow-ish to distinguish
it from the bundle socket color.
Edge and Vertex marks such as Crease, Bevel Weight, Seam, Sharp, have
specific use cases and colors assigned to them that users get familiar
with over time.
It can be hard to remember which color belong to what, this PR tries to
address this by introducing colored icons that follow the theme setting
for that edge mark/flag.

The W channel in quaternion and axis-angle F-Curves is now themeable
(defaulting to yellow), instead of incorrectly blending the X and Y axis
theme colors.
The original blending math did not take into account that the hue
channel actually wraps around, and so the blended color became blue
instead of the intended yellow.
Instead of fixing the math, the theme has been expanded for this W axis.
The default color is set to the mathematically correct yellow.

With Vulkan now having general feature parity with OpenGL, but with
some stability issues, it has become more important to offer ways for
users to quickly launch Blender with the OpenGL or Vulkan backend
in case Blender is unable to open with one of them.
This commit adds three new batch files to help with this:
- `blender_factory_startup_vulkan.cmd`
- Launches Blender with factory settings, but with Vulkan enabled.
Useful for helping test if a Vulkan crash at startup is related to
a addon.
- `blender_startup_opengl.cmd`
- Simply launches Blender with the OpenGL backend. It does not change
any other settings. Useful in case a user has complex user
preferences, enabled Vulkan for testing, and now Blender crashes on
startup. Now they want to switch back to OpenGL and they don't want
to lose their complex user preferences by using
`blender_factory_startup.cmd`
- `blender_startup_vulkan.cmd`
- Simply launches Blender with the Vulkan backend. It does not change
any other settings. Useful for people that encounter #127835 after
a Windows update. This issue can be worked around by using Vulkan.
But if you are experiencing the issue and are on the OpenGL
backend, you can't use the Blender interface and so you can't
easily switch to the Vulkan backend without the command line
or a script like this.

HDR video files are properly read into Blender, and can be rendered out
of Blender.
HDR video reading / decoding:
- Two flavors of HDR are recognized, based on color related video
metadata: "PQ" (Rec.2100 Perceptual Quantizer, aka SMPTE 2084) and
"HLG" (Rec.2100 Hybrid-Log-Gamma, aka ARIB STD B67). Both are read
effectively into floating point images, and their color space
transformations are done through OpenColorIO.
- The OCIO config shipped in Blender has been extended to contain
Rec.2100-PQ and Rec.2100-HLG color spaces.
- Note that if you already had a HDR video in sequencer or movie clip,
it would have looked "incorrect" previously, and it will continue to
look incorrect, since it already has "wrong" color space assigned to
it. Either re-add it (which should assign the correct color space),
or manually change the color space to PQ or HLG one as needed.
HDR video writing / encoding"
- For H.265 and AV1 the video encoding options now display the HDR mode.
Similar to reading, there are PQ and HLG HDR mode options.
- Reference white is assumed to be 100 nits.
- YUV uses "full" ("PC/jpeg") color range.
- No mastering display metadata is written into the video file, since
generally that information is not known inside Blender.
