Sequencer timeline displays red tint & appropriate icons for strips that are
missing media file (images, movies, audio, or meta strips that contain such).
Sequencer preview and rendering displays missing media strips as magenta,
similar to missing textures elsewhere in Blender. This is on by default,
sequencer view settings have an option to turn it off.

Design updates as per #118288:
- Tweak text labels (colors, drop shadows)
- Strip border colors, inset outlines
- Muted strips are mostly gray, and their thumbnails are faded
- Overlapping strips are not semitransparent anymore
- Locked stripes only in content area
- Missing data blocks
- Updates to meta strips w/ missing data blocks

Ultimately this was due to missing nullptr check before trying to
process the image, but this should have been caught when loading
ImBufAnims. If any is missing, cancel multiview loading and load
movie as if it was single view only.
Original code was very confusing, with seemingly indecisive logic.
I hope, that it is less confusing now, however there is still some
indecisiveness present. This is because multiview configuration may not
be correct, so there must be fallback and only some multiview settings
require loading of multiple files. Perhaps be better wording could be
used for `open_anim_file_multiview()`.
Fortunately this is now expressed within 5 lines of code instead of 100.
Further this can be improved by checking if the file exists, since now
VSE crashes when right eye image is missing, because loading code
does not try to actually open the file.

Sequencer timeline UI repainting is 3x-4x faster now, for complex
timelines. On Sprite Fright Edit data set, with whole timeline visible
(2702 strips), repainting the timeline UI with all overlay options
(waveforms, offsets, thumbnails etc.):
- Windows (Ryzen 5950X, RTX 3080Ti, OpenGL): 62ms -> 18.6ms (16FPS -> 54FPS)
- Mac (M1 Max, Metal): 39.8ms -> 11.5ms (25FPS -> 86FPS)
This is achieved by:
- Avoiding tiny GPU draw calls (i.e. drawing one quad a time), instead
batch all the quads / lines needed by the timeline display into
series of about-1000 quads per draw.
- For retiming keys display, batch their keyframe point drawing too.
- For audio waveform overlay display, change it to draw batched quads
instead of alternating between line strips and triangle strips. This
actually changes how the waveform looks like (implements #115274)
and fixes some visual issues with waveforms too.
- For fcurve overlays, also draw them as batched quads.
While at it, this also fixes an issue where while dragging strips over
other strips, their text labels would look as if they are behind the
background strips.

Use `VectorSet`, `Vector` or `Span` instead of `SeqCollection` struct.
It is now possible to use native `for` loops and `SEQ_ITERATOR_FOREACH`
macro can be removed.
Another feature is, sets of strips no longer needs to be freed. However,
this poses a limitation, that query functions can not be used in case,
where these sets need to be available outside of scope where they are
created.

This commit disambiguates the following messages:
- Sequencer effect strip types: use "Sequence" context in relevant
places, as that is already extracted as part of the
`sequencer_prop_effect_types` enum, and more specific.
- "Language" (a natural or programming language)
- "Flat" (gender)
- "Smooth" (action or amount -- very partial disambiguation for now
because this is all over the place)
It also extracts these messages:
- Newly created Freestyle data
- LineStyle
- LineSet
- Modifiers
- "Registering panel class:" error message from RNA registration
- "Node must be run as tool" error message from tool geometry nodes

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.
