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`.

This will be used for Opacity/Tint/Color modifiers which change color
attributes of grease pencil objects. The category is not shown for other
object types.
Exceptions:
* Links to personal wiki pages
* Pages that are not in the new developer docs yet (like Human Interface Guidelines)
* tools\check_wiki\check_wiki_file_structure.py needs a refactor
It is very common for graphical editors with layers to support
locking individual layers to protect them from accidental edits due
to misclicks. Blender itself already supports locking vertex groups.
This adds lock toggles for shape keys, with lock/unlock all operators.
The flags are checked by sculpt brushes, edit mode transform tools,
and Smooth, Propagate and Blend From Shape operators. This selection
aims to cover operations that only deform the mesh, where the shape
key selection matters.
Topology changing operations always apply to all keys, and thus
incorrect shape key selection is less impactful. Excluding them
from the new feature greatly reduces the patch size.

This made it seem as if it wasn't possible to load from saved
preferences when running Blender with '--factory-startup'.
This isn't a perfect solution as loading the saved
preferences doesn't clear `bpy.app.factory_startup`.
Even so, it's better not to gray out a menu item which is functional.
The FPS menu was using a cached value which wasn't being refreshed
when translation changed.
Add `bpy.app.handlers.translation_update_post` handler which runs
when translation changes, this can be used to clear any cached UI
values.

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.

In 13fac109 the node panels got support for individual option button
callbacks, but these were not included in the node editor side bar.
Only the older top-level buttons are drawn there.
The panel structure is currently not accessible in python since it is
part of the `NodeDeclaration` system. To draw node input sockets and
buttons in the correct panel order as they appear on the node, a new
template function `uiTemplateNodeInputs` has been added. This iterates
over declared panels and their contents in the appropriate order and
draws the buttons before sockets in the same panel.

The viscosity panel was confusing for users because viscosity
is defined by the base and exponent properties in the Diffusion panel.
What this setting actually does is use a special solver algorithm that is designed for high viscosity liquids.
See 635694c0ff for details.
The below changes are designed to better represent this to the user.
- Move the "Viscosity" Panel to a sub panel of "Diffusion"
- Rename "Viscosity" to "High Viscosity Solver" to better represent what this property does
- Update `use_viscosity` tooltip to better explain that this uses a different solver algorithm.

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.

Translation of the UI is currently split into 3 preferences:
interface, tooltips, and new data. The distinction between interface
and tooltips is currently unclear as tooltips also include a lot of
messages not displayed in the actual tooltips on mouse hover.
These include reports to the Info Editor, information in editor
headers and footers, and statuses in panels.
In order to limit the use of `TIP_()` to actual tooltips, this commit
introduces a new preference for this extra information: "Reports".
New translation macros are introduced: `RPT_()` and `CTX_RPT_()`, as
well as their equivalent for the Python API, `pgettext_rpt_()`, to be
imported as `rpt_()`.

Replaces this search by representing the 3 edge lengths of each triangle
as 3d points and searching with a KD-tree.
On a mesh with ~20k Tris the old method runs in 40s while the new method
takes 0.23s with a difference of <0.001%.

Add an option to output curves as NURBS instead of Bezier. The same
fitting algorithms are used. The only difference is that the drawing
result is a NURBS curve with Bezier knot mode, instead of a native
Blender Bezier curve.

As discussed in #105407, it can be useful to support returning
a fallback value specified by the user instead of failing the driver
if a driver variable cannot resolve its RNA path. This especially
applies to context variables referencing custom properties, since
when the object with the driver is linked into another scene, the
custom property can easily not exist there.
This patch adds an optional fallback value setting to properties
based on RNA path (including ordinary Single Property variables
due to shared code and similarity). When enabled, RNA path lookup
failures (including invalid array index) cause the fallback value
to be used instead of marking the driver invalid.
A flag is added to track when this happens for UI use. It is
also exposed to python for lint type scripts.
When the fallback value is used, the input field containing
the property RNA path that failed to resolve is highlighted in red
(identically to the case without a fallback), and the driver
can be included in the With Errors filter of the Drivers editor.
However, the channel name is not underlined in red, because
the driver as a whole evaluates successfully.

Fix the 'Show All' bone collection operator, by making it operate on all
collections instead of just the roots. It also now ensures that all
ancestors of the solo'ed collection are shown (otherwise it's the only
visible one, but given that its parent is hidden, it's still not
visible).
This also fixes a related issue, where calling the operator without
passing the `name` parameter would do nothing. Now it soloes the active
bone collection.
Add custom properties to Action Bake.
objects will bake all animatable custom properties. Armatures will bake all bone custom properties,
as well as object (armature) custom properties.
