This converts the public `uiItemFullO_ptr` function to an object
oriented API (an `uiLayout::op` overload), matching recents changes
in the API.
Changes include rearranging the `IDProperty *properties` parameter to be
the last parameter. Now is optional (but will be removed), also instead
of using a return parameter the function now returns the pointer to
write properties.

This converts the public `uiItemFullO` function to an object oriented
API (an `uiLayout::op` overload), matching recents changes in the API.
Changes includes the removal of the paramether `IDProperty *properties`
that seems unused (all places just sets `nullptr`, can be added as last
argument with `nullptr` as default value though), and instead of using a
return paramether the function now returns the pointer to write properties.

This converts the public `uiItemMenuF` and `uiItemMenuFN`
functions to an object oriented API (an `uiLayout::menu_fn`

This merges the public `uiItemS` and `uiItemS_ex` functions into an
object oriented API (`uiLayout::separator`), matching the python API.
This reduces the difference between the C++ API with the python version,
its also helps while converting code from python to C++ code
(or vice-versa), making it almost seamless.

This converts the public `uiItemO` function to an object oriented
API (`uiLayout::op`).
Also this rearranges `idname` paramether, since this the only one
required, and to make format similar to `uiItemFullO`
Note: One of the benefits of moving from a public function to class
method is to reduce API usage difference between C++ and Python. In
Python this method is called `UILayout::operator`, however `operator`
is a reserved keyword in C++.

`uiLayout::column` now returns an `uiLayout` reference instead of a pointer.
New calls to this method should use references too.

This commit allows to specialize or optimize properties editor for
particular workflows by hiding individual tabs. The filtering is done on
editor level, currently in editor options popover panel.
Primary motivation was to allow strip properties to be moved to
properties editor. The filtering is beneficial, as usually it does not
make sense to show strip propeties in modelling workspace and in video
editing workspace other properties would introduce quite a bit of noise.

This changes the ui-blocks buttons storage from Listbase to Vector.
Major changes that might cause a performance considerations are
in `ui_but_update_from_old_block` that requires to track buttons when restoring
button state between block redraws or in `uiItemFullR` that may needs to insert
uiButs in the middle of the vector to add decorators. This might not be as fast as
removing or inserting elements in the middle of a listbase container. Also buttons currently
don't know its position in the container, so to get the previous and next
button its required to make a lookup of the button in the container.
`UI_block_update_from_old> ui_but_update_from_old_block` restores the state
of buttons between frames, this is done by sequentially testing if a button is the
same as an old button, however since UI can be created procedurally some old buttons
may not be drawn while editing other button data, this requires an extra track of what
buttons may not match to a new button while comparing for restoring state, but still
this buttons may be candidates to match to an new button.
Not functional changes expected.

Also correct argument handling when Python arguments were passed in,
which were attempting to handle the following parameters as arguments
instead of skipping them.
- Gives O(1) access to string length in more cases
- Convenient string manipulation functions
- Clarify difference between "no string" and "empty string"
- Avoid the need for raw pointers in the API
- Shows which API string arguments are optional

This commit moves generated `RNA_blender.h`, `RNA_prototype.h` and
`RNA_blender_cpp.h` headers to become C++ header files.
It also removes the now useless `RNA_EXTERN_C` defines, and just
directly use the `extern` keyword. We do not need anymore `extern "C"`
declarations here.

Turns the asset shelf into a popover which reduces some of the special
handling. An operator `WM_OT_call_asset_shelf_popover()` (similar to
`WM_OT_call_panel()`) is added to be able to call the popover from shortcuts.
Exactly this was an important aspect for the brush assets project, to allow
quick searching for brushes from the popup.
A custom shortcut can be added to asset shelf popovers using "Assign Shortcut"
in the context menu of buttons invoking it.
The popover is spawned with the mouse hovering the first asset and the search
button active using "semi modal" handling. That means while the popover is
open, any text input is captured by the search button, while the rest of the
popover stays interactive. So for example navigating through asset catalogs is
possible, a single click activates an asset and closes the popover.
Reviewed as part of the asset shelf project, see:

No need for an additional view item button lookup when the context menu
is built for that button itself. Only do a lookup if the context menu is
built for a button drawn on top of the view item button.
Extract
- Add to Quick Favorites tooltip.
- "Mask", the name of a newly created mask (DATA_).
- "New" in the context of the new mask ID button.
- A few strings using BLI_STR_UTF8_ defines were not extracted.
Take the special characters out of the translation macros.
- "External" menu items from the filebrowser's Files context
menu (right-click on a file). These items were already extracted,
but not translated.
Improve
- Separate formatted error message "%s is not compatible with
["the specified", "any"] 'refresh' options" into two messages.
Disambiguate
- Use Action context for new F-modifiers' names. This is already used
for the "type" operator prop.
- Translate ImportHelper's default confirmation text using the
Operator context, as it uses the operator name which is extracted
with this context.
- "Scale" can be a noun, the scale of something, or a verb, to scale
something. The latter mostly uses the Operator context, so apply
this context to verbs, and the default contexts to nouns.
- "Scale Influence" can mean "Influence on Scale" (tracking
stabilization) and "to Scale the Influence" (dynamic paint canvas).
- "Object Line Art" as type of Line Art to add, as opposed to the
active object's Line Art settings.
- Float to Integer node: use NodeTree context for the node label, as
this is already extracted and used for the enum.
Do not translate
- Sequencer labels containing only a string formatting field.

Useful when the button has no display text but has been set up
to have a quickly accessible tooltip in its place (for example
a brush asset item in the asset shelf).
This allows the user to copy the driver(s) of a property to other selected items (e.g. objects, nodes, etc.) via the right-click menu. The implementation is based on the "Copy to Selected" operator, and generally behaves the same except for copying drivers instead of values.
Resolves#120518

Regression in 427eed292d.
Root of the issue was that animation system was using a single same
check to decide if an F-Curve/driver was valid to use to animate some
data, and whether user can create/edit animation for that data.
Both cases are actually different, since e.g. linked data is not
user-editable, but it can still be animated (either by related linked
Actions, drivers defined in the linked data, or some more hackish
changes like py API/RNA scripting).
This commit now defines two checks:
* `RNA_property_animateable`: whether a RNA pointer & propoerty is
animateable, based on their types and definition.
* `RNA_property_anim_editable`: whether a specific data referenced by
the RNA pointer and property is effectively user-editable.
The new `driveable` check added by 427eed292d is also renamed to
`RNA_property_driver_editable` (since the basic type-based
`RNA_property_animateable` is also valid for drivers currently).

Over the last couple years (!) UI buttons have moved to derived classes,
meaning we don't need to use the same "a1" and "a2" variables to store
different information. At this point, that information is set specifically
by internal UI code, or functions like `UI_but_*_set`.
These values are only set to their default 0 values now (or -1 in some
non-meaningful cases). This commit removes the values from buttons
and removes the remaining a1 and a2 arguments from the UI API.
The main simplification is using return values rather than return
arguments, and the additional semantic clarity from std::optional.
Also use `fmt` for formatting and use lambdas instead of macros
as helpers in a few modal keymap formatting functions.

This significantly simplifies memory management, mostly by avoiding
the need to free the memory manually. It may also improve performance,
since std::string has an inline buffer that can prevent heap
allocations and it stores the size.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/117695
When a string shouldn't be used or is invalid, use std::nullopt to
make it clear it's value shouldn't be used.
Without this it's possible to accidentally use an empty string
which will silently fail.
