Update .glb / .gltf extension
Part of #122783
Still remaining the change of default (grayed) value if user didn't set filepath yet
But not sure this can be accessible from python API
When a file is created with pre- 4.2 version, but is open with 4.2 version:
We can now detect the automatically created node setup
Wrong for the exact value of the cutoff, but better than nothing to get it detected
Based on feedback in !122727, include previously built-in add-ons
in the built-in extensions panel even if there is no support for
adding it back via the extensions repository.
This groups all the add-ons from 4.1 which were enabled but are no
longer distributed with Blender and provides an easy way for users to
install them. This panel is collapsed by default.

Replace LZMA with ZLIB compression as default tools on Linux & Windows
can't decompress these ZIP files and some users wish to open and inspect
the extensions.
While LZMA has the potential for significantly better compression it
turns out the actual gains were marginal for extensions that contain
many Python files (compared with `tar.lzma`) because each file is
compressed individually, see #122710.
Scanning the file-system for paths to include didn't detect cases when
explicitly included paths (such as wheels) were missing.
Change the logic to build a list of paths which is merged with pattern
matched paths (de-duplicating), then add all files into the ZIP.
Any missing paths will raise an error.
We don't do anything with the content of the dictionary yet (the reason
why each permission is required. But Blender can talk again with the
extensions server.
This still requires changes on the validation and build and
server_generate commands. To be tackled separately.
Light redesign of the extension/add-on list item.
The last time this layout was updated was in Blender 2.5, when text was
usually left-aligned, and add-ons preferences weren't streamlined yet.
The goal is to keep a familiar look, while making some improvements to
organization such as group actions (install/uninstall, buttons to external sources
like website, documentation, report a bug).

* Move missing script files inside a panel.
* Call it Missing Add-ons.
* Add an explicit "X" to dismiss (instead of the checkbox).
Note: The panel is collapsed by default.

- `bpy.types.Material.blend_method` aliases `bpy.types.Material.surface_render_method`.
'Opaque' and 'Alpha Clip' maps to deferred.
- Renamed `show_transparent_back` to `use_transparency_overlap`
- Renamed `use_screen_refraction` to `use_raytrace_refraction`
- Deprecate `use_sss_translucency` and `use_sss_translucency`

**NOTE**
The light probe changes will be done in a different patch.
Both patches should land just before we remove EEVEE Legacy
from the code-base.

Making node wrangler a core add-ons means that it will ship with Blender, but it still has to be enabled explicitly. It won't be available on the extensions platform anymore.
We'll still continue to move parts of its functionality out of the add-on into default Blender. However, that takes a little bit longer, because we need to go over the design and code quality in more detail first. Once, the most important functionality (#121749) is merged, the remaining node wrangler features can be put on the extensions platform.
Ref !122557
When a user has downloaded an add-on as a zip file, it's not clear in
advance if this is a legacy add-on or a new extension. So they would
have to use trial and error, or inspect the zip file contents.
This uses a simple heuristic to check if the file is a legacy add-on,
and if so automatically calls the legacy operator instead.
The operator now show both extension and legacy add-on properties,
with the latter in a default collapsed subpanel.

- All remote repositories are included in the check for outdated
packages, the check-for-updates setting is only used to sync with
the remote before checking for outdated packages.
- Defer checking for repositories to notify until after Blender
has opened since checking for installed packages & outdated
repositories could add some noticeable overhead.
Move extension update display from the splash screen to the status bar.
Based on !122413 with minor changes & removal of splash text.

This was probably borked during one of the recent renames.
To reproduce the original issue:
* Go to Preferences > Extensions
* Check the console:
rna_uiItemO: unknown operator 'extensions.show_online_prefs'
4.2/scripts/addons_core/bl_pkg/bl_extension_ui.py:354
