Remove long-deprecated constraints that will likely never be
implemented in this form.
- Rigid Body Joint Constraint was removed in 2.80, but some references
remained in the code. Versioning code was written that tried to
remove them on load, but since constraint initialization code sets
the type to CONSTRAINT_TYPE_NULL before versioning gets a chance,
the versioning code ended up never running. This has all been
removed.
- Python/Script Constraint never worked since 2.50 and showed an error
message in the UI panel.
These constraints now load as 'null' constraint, as seems to be
(looking at the code) the way that Blender currently deals with
removed constraint types. These still show up in the outliner and
python API, but have no UI panel. Removing such constraints completely
will be left for another time, as it is beyond the scope of removing
these two specific constraint types.

Currently UI code always has to use char pointers when interacting with
the translation system. This makes benefiting from the use C++ strings
and StringRef more difficult. That means we're leaving some type safety
and performance on the table. This PR adds StringRef overloads to the
translation API functions and removes the few calls to `.c_str()` that
are now unnecessary.

When using clangd or running clang-tidy on headers there are
currently many errors. These are noisy in IDEs, make auto fixes
impossible, and break features like code completion, refactoring
and navigation.
This makes source/blender headers work by themselves, which is
generally the goal anyway. But #includes and forward declarations
were often incomplete.
* Add #includes and forward declarations
* Add IWYU pragma: export in a few places
* Remove some unused #includes (but there are many more)
* Tweak ShaderCreateInfo macros to work better with clangd
Some types of headers still have errors, these could be fixed or
worked around with more investigation. Mostly preprocessor
template headers like NOD_static_types.h.
Note that that disabling WITH_UNITY_BUILD is required for clangd to
work properly, otherwise compile_commands.json does not contain
the information for the relevant source files.

Essentially, our current code would not properly remove (dereference)
its python objects matching various RNA data created during execution.
Some cases are fairly trivial to understand (like the lack of handling
of unregstering for our 'startup' operators and UI), other were more
subtle (like unregistered PropertyGroups who would remove/free their RNA
struct definition, without releasing first the potential matching python
object).
