Make the function naming more generic so extending it in the future
(with asset blend file information for example) won't have to adjust
the function names to correct the semantics itself.
This is used by the brush assets branch. Though it is unused currently, the
argument is added now to reduce the trivial boilerplate changes in the diff.
This PR adds the *Line Trim* tool to Sculpt mode. It is exposed via
the toolbar along with the other *Trim* tools and as an entry in the
*Sculpt* menu.
## Technical Approach
Line gestures are represented as two points in screen space: the `start`
and `end` of the gesture. Trim tools work by taking a set of screen
points as the top face of a volume, projecting a copy of the face into
the scene, then using that as the operand shape for boolean operations.
To behave as users would expect, the *Line Trim* tool does the following
steps to make the initial face:
1. Take the sculpted object's bounding box.
2. Project the bounding box into screen space
3. Take the magnitude of the diagonal line made from the bounding box
4. Use the magnitude multiplied by an arbitrary factor to ensure the
initial line is long enough to fully divide the object.
5. Create two points by moving in a perpendicular direction from start
and end points.
6. Use the resulting four points as vertices of the quad in screen space.
## Differences with Other Trim Tools
* Line Trim **only** supports the **Difference** mode. As such, the
corresponding tool options have been disabled in the header.
## Alternatives
* Instead of using a boolean operation, this could be achieved by using
a bisect operation when using the *Fixed* projection mode. While this
may result in a better performing tool, it is not guaranteed and
requires extra work to integrate this approach.

This PR adds a polyline hide operator for sculpt mode as well as the
necessary generic callback code to allow using this gesture in other
selection tools.
Added features include:
* *Polyline Hide* operator
* `WM_gesture_polyline_*` callback functions for other operators
* Status bar text while using the polyline modal
* Common *Gesture Polyline* keymap for usage with the modal
Unlike the *Box Hide* and *Lasso Hide* operators, the *Polyline Hide*
operator does not provide a simple shortcut to click and show all
hidden elements in a mesh. This is because the existing operators
operate on a click-drag action while the new operator is invoked by
just a click.

When using a version of Wayland that doesn't support trackpad direction
show an option to set the direction manually.
While this is a stop-gap measure until compositors support seat
version 9, the latest GNOME doesn't yet support this, so there will
be users for some years without this functionality.
Addresses issue raised in #107676.
Support detecting if the trackpad direction flag is propertly set
(currently unused).
Needed so Wayland compositors that don't support seat-version 9 or
newer (GNOME-46 & KDE5 for e.g) can have a working trackpad.
Eventually this option will be removed when the functionality is
widely supported.
This implements all the sculpt tools in Grease Pencil 3.
UI changes in the 3D view header and keymap entries for sculpt mode are
still minimal, more entries should be added once the relevant operators
are supported.
A set of utility functions and a shared base class
`GreasePencilStrokeOperationCommon` for sculpt operations has been added
to make individual operations less verbose.
The `GreasePencilStrokeParams` struct bundles common arguments to reduce
the amount of boilerplate code. The `foreach_editable_drawing` utility
function takes care of setting up the parameters and finding the right
drawings, so the tool only has to modify the data. Common features like
tracking mouse movement and inverting brush influence are handled by the
common base class.
Most operations are then relatively simple, with the exception of the
Grab and Clone operations.
- __Grab__ stores a stroke mask and weights on initialization of the
stroke, rather than working with the usual selection mask.
- __Clone__ needs access to the clipboard, which requires exposing the
clipboard in the editor API.

This makes the read and write API functions match more closely, and adds
asserts to check that the data size is as expected.
There are still a few places remaining that use BLO_read_data_address
and similar generic functions, these should eventually be replaced as well.

Reduce the number of duplicated modal operator keymap entries by just
showing "XYZ Axis" rather than "X X Axis", "Y Y Azis", etc. This allows
more items to be shown on the status bar. Note this only does so if the
keymap contains all of X, Y, & Z.

Move most code to `blender::bke::subdiv`. That helps organization
and makes using C++ in subdiv code easier, which will be useful for
removing the unnecessary opensubdiv C-API wrapper.
Support freedesktop file association on Linux/Unix via the command line
arguments: `--register{-allusers}` `--unregister{-allusers}` as well
registration actions from the user preferences.
Once registered, the "Blender" application is available from launchers
and `*.blend` files are assoisated with the blender binary used for
registration.
The following operations are performed:
- Setup the desktop file.
- Setup the file association & make it default.
- Copy the icon.
- Setup the thumbnailer (`--register-allusers` only).
Notes:
- Registering/unregistering for all users manipulates files under
`/usr/local` and requires running Blender as root.
From the command line this can be done using `sudo`, e.g.
`sudo ./blender --register-allusers`.
From the GUI, the `pkexec` command is used.
- Recent versions of GNOME execute the thumbnailer in a restricted
environment (`bwrap`) requiring `blender-thumbnailer` to be copied
into `/usr/local/bin` (synlinks don't work).
So thumbnailing copies the binary rather than linking and only works
when registering for all users.

Scrolling the mouse wheel fast can generate multiple click-steps
which were ignored by window manager events.
This meant scrolling fast with a trackpad (with "Multi-touch gestures"
disabled) for e.g. would zoom less than the gesture made more slowly.
Adjust Last Operation dialog gets a title with a line underneath and
slight change to margins to better match other similar dialogs. A

Adds an (empty) sculpt mode for Grease Pencil v3 objects.
The object `SCULPT_GPENCIL` mode is re-used for Grease Pencil object
types. A `SCULPT_GREASE_PENCIL` context mode has been added, which is
specific to grease pencil objects. This is necessary for polling tools
and keymaps.

Move the public functions from the editors/object (`ED_object.hh`)
header to the `blender::ed::object` namespace, and move all of the
implementation files to the namespace too. This provides better code
completion, makes it easier to use other C++ code, removes unnecessary
redundancy and verbosity from local uses of public functions, and more
cleanly separates different modules.
See the diff in `ED_object.hh` for the main renaming changes.

We currently have a single minimum width value for confirmation

The active window in the context may not match the window where GHOST
events are generated. Notifiers for new windows would always be ignored
with the context's window set to null for example.
Noticed while investigating #119871.
Previously retrieving a collection from the context like "selected_ids"
would give a linked list of allocated items. Now it returns a vector of
RNA pointers. Though the number of items is typically fairly small,
using contiguous memory and avoiding many small allocations are
typical performance improvements that could still be beneficial
when there are many items. Iteration also becomes much simpler.

There are still a few places that are more complicated where the replacement
to `IDP_New` isn't obvious, but this commit replaces most uses of the ugly
`IDPropertyTemplate` usage.
This was only used on WIN32 when the temporary directory didn't exist.
When the check was added [0] this made some sense because it relied on
`U.tempdir` existing, since then additional checks have been added to
ensure a temporary directory can be used. Further, this fall-back
location isn't documented in the user manual.

Enables operators that uses `WM_operator_props_dialog_popup`
or `redo` popup to use layout panels.
Other popups would likely also support layout panels, only
they need to set its dummy panel with `UI_popup_dummy_panel_set`.
Popups don't normally use `Panel`, but that's the type that stores the
layout panel states. Therefore, to use layout panels in a popup, one
currently needs to create a dummy panel whose purpose is to store the
layout panel states for as long as the popup is open.
Alternatively, we could potentially also store the layout panel states
somewhere else in the future for popups, but that might be a more involved
change for now.
See #119519 for an example script that uses layout panels in a popup.

UI would sometimes disappear with the Metal backend.
This occured in situations where there was only a single
GPUContext within a single GHOST window, meaning
the activation routine for the context was never run.
Context activation is required to ensure the backbuffer
was up to date upon resize. Otherwise, re-sizing the
window would cause the screen to turn grey as the
new drawables would not be rendered to.
