When passing strings to str.format(..) use `{:s}` format specifier
which only takes strings and wont run `.__str__()` on non-strings.
While `{!s}` is an equivalent to `%s`, for the most part `%s` was
used for strings, so using `{:s}` is clearer and more specific.
Part of modernizing scripts in Blender, where the previous convention
was to use percentage formatting which has become the "old" way to
format strings in Python.
See proposal for details #120453.

Extract:
- Operators' poll messages, including Python-defined ones.
- Use default translation context for the region toggle pie menu.
- Newly created F-Curve modifiers.
- Newly created video tracker track.
- Grease Pencil UV area status message
- Status messages in the graph slider operators.
- Status message "Text <text.py>" when opening .blend with
auto-executing Python file.
Disambiguate:
- Track: can mean NLA track, video tracking, a tracking marker, or
a track constraint.
- Tracking: can mean video tracking, or a track constraint.

- "can not" -> "cannot" in many places (ambiguous, also see
Writing Style guide).
- "Bezier" -> "Bézier": proper spelling of the eponym.
- Tool keymaps: make "Uv" all caps.
- "FFMPEG" -> "FFmpeg" (official spelling)
- Use MULTIPLICATION SIGN U+00D7 instead of MULTIPLICATION X U+2715.
- "LClick" -> "LMB", "RClick" -> "RMB": this convention is used
everywhere else.
- "Save rendered the image..." -> "Save the rendered image...": typo.
- "Preserve Current retiming": title case for property.
- Bend status message: punctuation.
- "... class used to define the panel" -> "header": copy-paste error.
- "... class used to define the menu" -> "asset": copy-paste error.
- "Lights user to display objects..." -> "Lights used...": typo.
- "-setaudio require one argument" -> "requires": typo.

The previous commit introduced a new `RPT_()` macro to translate
strings which are not tooltips or regular interface elements, but
longer reports or statuses.
This commit uses the new macro to translate many strings all over the
UI.
Most of it is a simple replace from `TIP_()` or `IFACE_()` to
`RPT_()`, but there are some additional changes:
- A few translations inside `BKE_report()` are removed altogether
because they are already handled by the translation system.
- Messages inside `UI_but_disable()` are no longer translated
manually, but they are handled by a new regex in the translation
system.

When the subtype of a custom property is set programmatically to
something that isn't in the subtype enum of this operator, attempting
to edit it will throw an error. This check should avoid that, by simply
not setting the subtype if it's not in the enum, resulting in a default
subtype of NONE. This is the second attempt at #112582, which I broke
when messing with branches.

Updated splash screen with different options depending on whether the
user is new or upgrading. Simplifies the process for new users and
makes the choices more distinct when upgrading. Returning users also
get a link to "What's New".

Following f7af45ccfd, rename link labels:
* Release Notes -> What's New
* Development Fund -> Donate
The description are left as is since they
are still correct, just the labels to be more
in line with language used in blender.org
* Rename "Development Fund" to "Donate", more in line with
the language used in blender.org
* Rename "Release Notes" to "What's New". A bit more inviting
to click and sounds less technical.
* In "Getting Started", remove "Credits" since it it nos related
to getting started, and add relevant links already present
in the Help menu.

Regression in [0] which removed empty regions that were used to
ensure pie menu items match the location of regions.
The header for e.g. in time-line / graph editor for e.g. showed
on the opposite side.

Customprops to IDs are supported since years through code, but were
never exposed directly in the UI of customporperties.
This commit mainly:
* Adds a new `DATA_BLOCK` type to UI customprops types.
* Exposes the existing `id_type` settings to python API.

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.
Design task: #110784

No user visible changes expected, except of new experimental feature
option.

This introduces asset shelves as a new standard UI element for accessing
assets. Based on the current context (like the active mode and/or tool), they
can provide assets for specific workflows/tasks. As such they are more limited
in functionality than the asset browser, but a lot more efficient for certain
tasks.
The asset shelf is developed as part of the brush assets project (see #101895),
but is also meant to replace the current pose library UI.
Support for asset shelves can quite easily be added to different editor types,
the following commit will add support for the 3D View. If an editor type
supports asset shelves, add-ons can chose to register an asset shelf type for
an editor with just a few lines of Python.
It should be possible to entirely remove `UILayout.asset_view_template()` once
asset shelves are non-experimental.
Some changes are to be expected still, see #107881.

Use instead of "'%s'" to avoid problems in the unlikely instance of
the strings containing characters that need escaping.
Also use a ternary operator instead of indexing a tuple.
Prefer the more generic exception type as it's possible exceptions
derive from this and not "Exception".
Also use the name 'ex' for exceptions instead of 'e'.
Loading a blend file with unknown regions would raise an exception.
Also remove exception where channels were skipped when the attribute
isn't found as it's no longer needed.
When pressing N-key a pie menu is shown which can toggle regions,
typically the toolbar, sidebar and the header.
This supports toggling regions without having to add a separate shortcut
for each one.
The pie menu locations selected based on the region alignment.
See #107785.
- "... (matches pythons ...)": capitalize and use possessive ('s).
- "Layer Proxy Protection": replace proxy by override, following 2.80.
- "Enable Plane Trim": expand description.
- "Make curve path children to rotate along the path": remove "to".
- "Option for curve-deform: make deformed child to stretch along
entire path": remove "to".
- "... apply the curve radius with path following it and deforming":
rephrase unclear description.
- "Custom light falloff curve" : unrelated to lights, used in Grease
Pencil modifiers.
- "Grease Pencil layer assigned to the generated strokes": rephrase
because a GP stroke is assigned to a layer, not the other way
around.
- "Attribute domain where the attribute domain is stored in the
simulation state": remove second "domain" (typo).
