Use sub-pixel differentials for bump mapping helps with reducing
artifacts when objects are moving or when textures have high frequency
details.
Currently we scale it by 0.1 because it seems to work good in practice,
we can adjust the value in the future if it turns out to be impractical.

Partial fix for #130007.
The catalog tree mutex would be set in `catalog_tree()` and
`invalidate_catalog_tree()`. The former could end up adding catalogs and thus
calling `invalidate_catalog_tree()`, which would attempt to set a mutex that the
caller set already. This seems like a good use-case for `std::recursive_mutex`.
would make sure there's a catalog for each catalog path by calling
`create_missing_catalogs()`
The compositor crashes when the user goes into a muted group that has a
viewer node while the backdrop is enabled. The compositor should not
schedule viewer nodes inside muted contexts, so we need to add checks to
prevent this.

When active node is clicked again, the image editor does not update and
keeps showing the old image. Always run `ED_space_image_sync`, when
clicked node is image texture node to resolve this issue.

`compositor_is_in_use` sets `used_by_compositor` true when GPU device is
selected. This draws render pass warning even when viewport
compositor is disabled. Remove the condition to fix the unintentional
warning. Following function is just used in node drawing, seems safe to
remove then.

What is (or isnt) supported here depends on object types (but we were
getting most of the options for all object types):

This PR does two things:
- tidy up the popup menu we get for parenting (removing non-funtional
options)
- enable "With Empty Groups" for lattices (no reason why this should not
work)
What this PR does not touch:
- the poll function for parenting (since this acts on selected objects,
checking all of them can be a costly operation which should not be part
of a poll function)

Replace ED_view3d_calc_zfac with a matrix multiply because the "zfac"
is never negative and near zero values are set to 1.0.
This makes sense for tools & viewport logic that use the value for
division and don't handle negative values but not for depth comparison.
- Expand on the code-comment regarding tests & WM_capabilities_flag and
move it from the caller into the functions body since this is useful
for other callers, also mention in the doc-string.
- Use a common prefix for `WM_window_decoration_style_*` functions.
- Add a doxy-section for decoration style functions.

This patch introduces the `Plane` brush, a generalization of the
existing `Flatten`, `Fill` and `Scrape` brushes, with the objective of
providing more flexibility when sculpting.
This brush has the following key features:
* `Height` and `Depth` parameters to control the range of the brush in
the local z-axis.
* Stabilizers for the normal and center of the brush plane.
When inverting, the user can choose between two options:
* `Invert Displacement`: Identical to the existing behavior, displacing
vertices away from the plane.
* `Swap Height and Depth`: Exchanges the roles of `Height` and `Depth`.
For example a brush with `Height` = 0.7 and `Depth` = 0.3 behaves as
if it had `Height` = 0.3 and `Depth` = 0.7. In particular, this
ensures that a scrape brush (`Height` = 1, `Depth` = 0) becomes
equivalent to a fill brush (`Height` = 0, `Depth` = 1) when inverted,
and viceversa.
In the existing planar brushes, the influence on a vertex is determined
by the 3D Euclidean distance between the vertex and the cursor position,
multiplied by the vertex's distance from the brush plane (and other
factors common to all brushes).
In the `Plane` brush, the 3D distance is between the vertex and the
plane center instead of the cursor position.
The Plane brush introduces two parameters — `Stabilize Normal` and
`Stabilize Plane`. These can be thought of as the non-binary version of
the `Original Normal` and `Original Plane` options found in existing
brushes. These values are a weighted moving average across a window of
previous stroke steps.

This allows Python scripts to easily determine what Slot a Channelbag is
for. This is particularly important because we're trying to discourage
the use of Slot handles in the Python APIs, and before this the only
way to identify which Slot a Channelbag was for was via the Channelbag's
`slot_handle` property.

Brush and pose asset operators were doing some avoidable roundtrips
through asset types, lookups and rather low level operations. This
indicates that the asset system APIs need some improvements. Moving
lower-level logic there can help avoiding errors, since implementation
details are kept inside the corresponding module.
- Avoid lookups for asset library reference in operator code, make asset
library itself construct it.
- Avoid redundant lookups for asset library definition (was looking up
the asset library definition in the Preferences from the library
reference type, just to turn it into the reference type again).
- Add utility for refreshing loading asset libraries
- Add utility for saving asset catalogs for an asset
- Remove unused function
The previous name was confusingly similar to the new method
`identifier_prefix()` that was introduced in #133983. This new name
better distinguishes them while also reflecting its actual functionality
better and being shorter.

Previous implementation used the resource state tracker which is a hash
table lookup. `is_link_to_buffer` is a bit cheaper as it is compares
already loaded data.
Copy-paste of keyframes is now slot-aware. See [1] for the design.
[1]: https://developer.blender.org/docs/features/animation/tools/action-editor-copy-paste/
In short:
- Copy-paste still works broadly as it used to. Only the visible
F-Curves are pasted into.
- Slot identifiers matter when copying from multiple slots. When
copying from one slot, they don't.
- Selection of channels (either F-Curves or Slots) determines where
keys get pasted into.
- Pasting will either copy from the slot with the same identifier
(when identifiers matter), or paste whatever was copied (when they
do not).
- If both F-Curves and slots are selected, only the selected F-Curves
get pasted into, and slots without any selected F-Curves are ignored
(i.e. target is only defined by selected F-Curves, or only by
selected slots, never by a mixture).

Some versions of PySide give errors when imported together with
bpy.app.translations, because the latter uses a tp_name that does not
exist. The only other tp_name we have with a dot in it (bgl.Buffer)
does exist.

The box/lasso select code called `evaluate_fcurve()` to evaluate the
driver F-Curve, which is not meant for drivers. It now calls
`evaluate_fcurve_only_curve()`, which is meant for this purpose (only
evaluates the F-Curve part of the F-Curve, and ignore the driver).

Previously it was possible to make the type prefix of a Slot's identifier get
out-of-sync with its actual target ID type, by setting the identifier via
Python.
This PR changes `Slot.identifier` assignment to ensure that the type prefix is
set to match `target_id_type`. This now makes it impossible for the identifier
prefix and `target_id_type` to get out of sync, since this API previously was
the only way to accomplish that.
When the prefix that the user attempts to set doesn't match the `target_id_type`
of the Slot, a warning is issued telling the user about the mismatch and that
the identifier has been set with the correct prefix instead.

This fixes the case when the screen update timer would not be reset
when seeking leading to screen updates happening mid frame.
For example when jumping to a keyframe during playback.
Note that this doesn't reset the timer when no audio is playing.
It would be nice to have it happen there as well. But it is probably not
too noticeable.
