Adds a new asset shelf option (`STORE_ENABLED_CATALOGS_IN_PREFERENCES`
option in RNA) to use the Preferences for storing the enabled catalogs.
This way asset shelf types can decide if for their use-case, they want
to synchronize the enabled catalogs over Blender sessions and files, or
keep the stored locally in the file.
This is important because for example on one hand, it would be annoying
if for brush assets you'd have to enable the visible catalog tabs for
every 3D View and every file, while on the other hand you need that
level of control for the pose library where the catalogs the rigger/
animator cares about varies from project to project, character to
character and shot to shot.
Conceptually this also makes some sense: The new brush assets workflow
synchronizes brush assets and their catalogs across Blender sessions
and files, basically making them globally accessible independent of
the current file/project, so treating the enabled catalogs the same
is consistent.

- DNA defaults were not properly registered, preventing the 'reset to
default' to work correctly.
- The RNA sub-struct path was not properly generated.
- The RNA struct had no UI/API info.
Historically makesdna/rna did not link bf_guardedalloc for
some reason, but during one of my cmake cleanups have picked up
this dependency anyhow. To prevent duplicate symbols, remove the
now duplicated translation units as linking bf_guardedalloc has
seemingly not caused any issues.

Implements the GPv2 onion skinning functionality.
There are no functional changes exept for the `use_ghosts_always`
option, which has been removed. This was used to show onion
skinning in the final render.

For historical reasons, the `multi_input_socket_index` was actually reversed
(large index comes first). This patch renames it to `multi_input_sort_id` and
adds a comment. This new name makes it less confusing that the id is reversed.

Introduce new DNA for the `Animation` data-block and its sub-data.
This includes the blenkernel code for reading & writing to blend files,
and for memory management (freeing, duplicating). Minimal C++ wrappers
are included, with just the functionality needed for blenkernel to do
its job.
The Outliner code is extended so that it knows about the new data-type,
nothing more.
For more info, see issue #113594.

Armature deformation modifier for Grease Pencil v3.
Changes compared to GPv2:
- `multi` DNA field was unused and was removed.
- `vert_coords_prev` array is unused and was removed (gets passed to
armature functions but never gets allocated).
- GPv3 modifier uses the common `influence` struct to store the vertex
group name, for consistency. The
`GREASE_PENCIL_INFLUENCE_INVERT_VERTEX_GROUP` flag is copied to
`deformflag` as `ARM_DEF_INVERT_VGROUP` before evaluation, which is
used internally by armature functions.
- `BKE_armature_deform_coords_with_curves` is added as another variant
of the deform function, but uses C++ parameter types (spans instead
of raw pointers). It gets a `Span<MDeformVert>` directly instead of
deducing it internally from the object type. This is because we want
to do this curve-by-curve and already use arbitrary vector spans for
positions.

This is a migration of the current Line Art modifier to GPv3.
Note:
- The modifier is using the exact same DNA structure as the old one, it's re-defined in a different name. At the moment all the variable names and placement after the `ModifierData` part should stay exactly the same until we do proper versioning of the modifier data and completely remove the GPv2 support.
- Vertex weight transfer feature no longer supports name initial matching ("group" used to match "group1","group2" etc). Now it will only transfer vertex weight from source vertex groups that has the exact same name as specified.

The `object_to_world` and `world_to_object` matrices are set during
depsgraph evaluation, calculated from the object's animated location,
rotation, scale, parenting, and constraints. It's confusing and
unnecessary to store them with the original data in DNA.
This commit moves them to `ObjectRuntime` and moves the matrices to
use the C++ `float4x4` type, giving the potential for simplified code
using the C++ abstractions. The matrices are accessible with functions
on `Object` directly since they are used so commonly. Though for write
access, directly using the runtime struct is necessary.
The inverse `world_to_object` matrix is often calculated before it's
used, even though it's calculated as part of depsgraph evaluation.
Long term we might not want to store this in `ObjectRuntime` at all,
and just calculate it on demand. Or at least we should remove the
redundant calculations. That should be done separately though.

Merge duplicated motion blur settings between Cycles and EEVEE,
and move them to `RenderData`/`scene.render`:
* `scene.cycles.motion_blur_position` -> `scene.render.motion_blur_position`
* `scene.eevee.use_motion_blur` -> `scene.render.user_motion_blur`
* `scene.eevee.motion_blur_position` -> `scene.render.motion_blur_position`
* `scene.eevee.motion_blur_shutter` -> `scene.render.motion_blur_shutter`
On the C/C++ side, this also renames `RenderData::blurfac` to
`RenderData::motion_blur_shutter`.

Ported lattice modifier from GPv2.
The `LatticeDeformData` is no longer stored in the modifier data, but calculated on-the-fly like in the mesh deform modifier. This is quite trivial data and only stores deformed positions of the lattice, so not really worth the effort and complexity of caching it.

Thickness modifier ported to Grease Pencil v3.
Note: Uniform thickness range and UI step changed to better
match new thickness of blender unit.

Smooth modifier ported to Grease Pencil 3.0
Exposed `smooth_curve_attribute()` from `grease_pencil_edit.cc`
to achieve the smoothing effect. It will not be the exact same result
as the old algorithm.

Splits the flag `..._FLAG_INSERTNEEDED` between autokey and
manual keying. The fact that this flag was shared between the two
systems has been the cause of issues in the past. It wouldn't
let you insert a keyframe even though you explicitly used an operator
to do so.
In order to be clearer what options are used where, the user preferences
have been reordered.
By default "Only Insert Needed" will be enabled for auto-keying, but not for manual keying.
The versioning code will enable both if it was enabled previously.
# Code side changes
The keying system has flags that define the behavior
when keys are inserted. Some of those flags were shared
between keying and auto-keying. Some were only used for
auto-keying.
To clarify that, prefix flags that used exclusively in one or the other
system with `AUTOKEY`/`MANUALKEY`
Also the flag name on the user preferences and the tool settings was renamed.
Previously it was called `autokey_flag`. To indicated that it is not only used
for autokeying, rename it `keying_flag`.

Opacity modifier implementation based on GP2.
Functionality is largely unchanged.
_Color Mode_ is either `Stroke` or `Fill` for modifying color opacity or
`Hardness`.
_Uniform Opacity_ does two things at once (!):
- Sets the same opacity value for every point in a stroke.
- Sets opacity as an absolute value rather than a factor.
_Weight as Factor_ (button to the right of Opacity Factor): Use the
vertex group as opacity __factor__ rather than an overall __influence__.
This is confusing and hard to convey, but copies behavior from GP2.
The _Influence_ panel contains the same filter settings as the GP2
modifier, with some small changes:
- _Layer_ selects only strokes in the respective layer (with an _Invert_
option)
- _Material_ selects only points with the respective material (with an
_Invert_ option)
- _Layer Pass_ and _Material Pass_ select only strokes/points which are
rendered in the respective pass.
_Note 1: Layers don't have UI for setting a pass yet, this will be a
generic layer attribute. This can be set through the API for testing._
_Note 2: In GP2 a pass value of zero was used to disable pass filters.
Since zero is a valid pass ID an explicit flag has been added for the
purpose of turning pass filters on and off._
- _Vertex Group_: This can be used as an additional influence filter on
points. If _Weight as Factor_ is enable the vertex group instead
replaces the opacity factor. In _Fill_ mode the vertex group weight of
the stroke's first point is used as influence for the entire stroke.
- _Custom Curve_ is another possible influence factor per point. The
curve input value is the relative position of a point along its
stroke.
The Influence settings have been moved into a separate DNA struct, which
should help with reusability in various modifiers. Various utility
functions can be found int `MOD_grease_pencil_util.hh` for handling
influence settings and generating `IndexMasks` for modernized C++ code.
