Use invert_m4_m4_safe_ortho when joining objects so zero scaled axis
doesn't cause all points to be scaled to zero.
Instead geometry is left un-scaled on degenerate axes.
Report a warning in this case since users may want to adjust the
active objects scale.
We can avoid the rather expensive outliner tree rebuilds and only redraw
if nothing but the selection or active item changes. This should give a
bit of speedup for heavy scenes.
For this to work I had to correct a few notifiers, some were only
sending selection/active change notifiers that actually did things like
adding objects. I also added a more precise notifier type for when the
active collection changes. At the notifier subtype/action level we're
not even close to running out of bits, so this should be fine.
Also had to correct a wrong notifier check (was using `&` rather than
`==`).
When adding multiple force fields of different types they are all called
"Field", making it difficult to tell them apart.
Lights were already named based on their type. This follows the light
code.
New names:
- Force
- Vortex
- Magnet
- Wind
- Guide
- TextureField
- Harmonic
- Charge
- Lennard-Jones
- Boid
- Turbulence
- Drag
- Fluid
- Field

Operators are one of the last places in Blender to use older UI designs
that don't fit in with recent style conventions. This commit updates
these custom operator UI callbacks for consistency and clarity.
Some of the code is also simplified a lot. Some of the older operator layouts
were much more complex (in terms of code) than they needed to be.
See the differential revision for a before and after screenshot
of each operator.

That project cannot be opened correctly ayway, it has recursive
collections intanciating themselves...
But at least now we have a check at startup to detect and 'fix' those
nasty cycles in collections.
When the mesh is linked, the materials can not be available or be the same assigned to mesh. Now, if the mesh is linked, a simple two materials conversion is used.
To get the full list of materials, the mesh must not be linked.
Also checked some indexes to be sure never get a wrong value and that materials are not created again and again.
This replaces the cmake options `WITH_NEW_OBJECT_TYPES` and
`WITH_NEW_SIMULATION_TYPE` with two experimental userpref settings:
* `use_new_particle_system`: Enables the point cloud type and the simulation editor.
* `use_new_hair_type`: Only displays the add-operator in the add menu for now.
Note, in the current state you can't do anything productive with the new particle
system or the new hair type. Features will be added step by step in the upcoming
weeks and months.

Main change from user side, besides that all pointers should now be
properly remapped to new IDs, is that linked objects are no longer
preserved when doing a full copy of scenes.
Will open a task to check whether we actually still want that behavior
(and re-code it in a more correct way then).
This is the main part of work done here, it aims at uniformizing and
sanitizing that 'deep copy' process for supported IDs (currently scenes,
collections and objects).
Note that there will be more follow up commits after that one, but this
should be the most risky and changing one.
Change how the radius, changing the size of meta plane, sphere & cube.
Previously the size of these primitives would be kept the same,
with only the radius outside the primitive being scaled.
This led to small scale adding a lot of polygons instead
of scaling the primitive down as users would expect.
Also change behavior not to change the resolution when adding
to an existing meta-ball.
Using enum type itself in implementations, and uint in headers (as using
enums types in headers is a pain when enum are not defined and used in a
single same header file...).
This patch adds two options:
- Convert a mesh to grease pencil strokes.
- Bake the mesh animation into grease pencil strokes.
Both are related and must be included in the same patch.
Related to tasks: T77629 and T77630
Notice: The conversion is done for mesh edges and it's not considering any visibility clipping. All edges are exported, no matters if it's visible or not.

This conversion was inspired by the technique used by @luamono in this tweet: https://twitter.com/luamono/status/1239983662176841730
Example of Bake Animation (the video is a little outdate, but the basic functionality is the same, only small changes in UI):

Add selection syncing for object add named (e.g. drag and drop from
outliner to 3D view), outliner right click (a sync when the context menu
is cancelled), and for object selection from Python.
Parenting to a curve path animation depends on both geometry and
transform components. Conversion of mesh to curve will make it so
parent have path animation, conversion of curve to mesh makes it
so there is no more path animation. Both cases affects children
of the converted objects, and it's not possible to rely on special
case for curve parent in the dependency graph as that link will be
lost after conversion of curve to mesh.
Simplest approach is to tag object for both geometry and transform
update, which will ensure all children are at valid state after
the conversion.
The old value (1.0) was often too large in practice. When many collection
instances are created, the large empties create a mess in the viewport.
This adds a new preference setting in `Editing -> Objects -> New Objects`
called `Instance Empty Size`.
The value will be used as display size for new empties containing a
collection instance.

There was an assert here as well since using the original object to read
from was having an empty runtime curve cache.
Now use BKE_vfont_to_curve_ex instead of BKE_vfont_to_curve, so we can
read from the evaluated object and write to the original curves in order
to have the modified data taken into account on next object evaluation.
(BKE_vfont_to_curve would read and write to/from the same object)
Final solution provided by @sergey in that report, thx!
Note this only changes cases where the variable was declared inside
the for loop. To handle it outside as well is a different challenge.

The `BKE_animsys.h` and `anim_sys.c` files already had a an "AnimData
API" section. The code in that section has now been split off, and
placed into `BKE_anim_data.h` and `anim_data.c`.
All files that used to include `BKE_animsys.h` have been adjusted to
only include the animation headers they need (sometimes none).
No functional changes.
The files are now split up into the following sections:
- `BKE_anim_path.h` and `anim_path.c` for path/curve functions.
- `BKE_anim_visualization.h` and `anim_visualizationanim_path.c` for
animation visualization (mostly motion paths).
- `BKE_duplilist.h` for DupliList function declarations. These were
already implemented in `object_dupli.c`, so they were rather out of
place being declared in `BKE_anim.h` in the first place.
No functional changes.
This commit is a full refactor of the grease pencil modules including Draw Engine, Modifiers, VFX, depsgraph update, improvements in operators and conversion of Sculpt and Weight paint tools to real brushes.
Also, a huge code cleanup has been done at all levels.
Thanks to @fclem for his work and yo @pepeland and @mendio for the testing and help in the development.

The old convention was easy to confuse with ScrArea.
Part of https://developer.blender.org/T74432.
This is mostly a batch rename with some manual fixing. Only single word
variable names are changed, no prefixed/suffixed names.
Brecht van Lommel and Campbell Barton both gave me a green light for
this convention change.
Also ran clan clang format on affected files.
This clarifies logic in ED_object_add_generic_get_opts (see comments in
code).
Also following issues are adressed:
- do not enforce setting the op UI to WORLD when rotation is set (e.g.
on redo). This is not wrong (happens in world space), but is more
confusing than helpful (was added in own rB3b8a14a3c072).
- respect setting the User Preference to WORLD properly (could fail when
set to something else, then back to WORLD)
