Increase the hard minimum for Resolution Scale from 0.25 to 0.5. 0.5 is
also the current soft limit (the least you can get by just dragging on
the widget). But, as illustrated by the bug report, accidentally typing
in a value below 0.5 is difficult to recover from since the text is too
small to see. It is a useful minimum though in that this value is good
for tests and captures on High DPI system to simulate low dpi.

Existing code had several issues:
* The 'DNA bitset as RNA array' behavior was totally undocumented,
virtually impossible to discover, very confusing, and without any
checks that given parameters (like the array length) were valid.
* The DNA defaults handling was fully broken for 'negative' boolean
properties.
This commit:
* Factorizes all rna define code for boolean properties storing a `booleanbit`
value into a new static util (this revealed and fixed the 'negative defaults'
issue).
* Forbids calling `RNA_def_property_array` on a Boolean property with a
non-null `booleanbit` value.
* Introduces a new `RNA_def_property_boolean_bitset_array_sdna`,
strictly to define 'DNA bitsets as RNA array' properties.
* Adds several validation checks, in particular regarding the bitset
case: it takes into account the fact that bitshift operations on
negative numbers are typically
[arithmetic ones](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/operator_arithmetic),
which means that they preserve the sign of the value, and that the
left-most bit should never be used with signed integers for bitsets.
-------------------
The fix to DNA defaults handling on 'negative' properties revealed
several RNA errors, listed below. Fixing them is not necessarily trivial
(as some seem to contradict the DNA default values, e.g. the
`View3DShading.use_studiolight_view_rotation` one), so it is kept
outside of this refactor. Conflicting cases should likely be handled by
the relevant modules (to decide whether the DNA, or the RNA default
should be kept).
-------------------
Also realized that many DNA types are ignored when trying to find DNA
default values. This will also be tackled separately, as fixing it is
fairly straightforward.

Replace pointer magic with `std::string` and `blender::StringRef`.
The old code modified the RNA path of F-Curves to extract & flip the
bone name. The new code is not modifying any data, at the expense of a
few more copies. Since these strings are not long, and the call to
`BLI_string_flip_side_name()` also makes quite a few copies, the
performance impact should be negligible.
No functional changes.

Simplify `pastebuf_match_path_property()` by reducing cognitive complexity
and using `StringRef::endswith()` instead of pointer arithmetic.
I've also added a few unit test cases that cover some unwanted behavior:
the property name check only checks suffixes, and so copying "….location"
will also paste it to a "….not_actually_location" F-Curve.
No functional changes.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/133005
Add a unit test for the bone name flipping function of the keyframe
paste functionality.
The function itself has been changed a little bit, so that it returns a
`std::string` instead of using a `char **` return parameter that needs
explicit freeing at the call site. This made the tests considerably
simpler to write. This change does cause an extra copy of the RNA path,
but that should be refactored away soon.
No functional changes.

`BKE_main_ensure_invariants` was added in 1fae5fd8f6. The older
`ED_node_tree_propagate_change` was already implemented as a thin wrapper around
`BKE_main_ensure_invariants`. This patch removes the wrapper and calls the more
general function directly.
A new overload of `BKE_main_ensure_invariants` is added for the common case when
only a single data-block has been modified.

This makes specifying a legacy type for new node types optional (e.g.
`GEO_NODE_MESH_TO_CURVE`). Instead, only the `idname` is used as a stable
identifier for node types. So there is less redundancy for now.
This change helps with the decentralized definition of nodes and reduces the
number minimum number of files that need to be changed for a new node from 5 to
4. It especially helps when multiple nodes are worked on at the same time,
because the legacy type definition was very prone to have merge conflicts.
For compatibility reasons and because it's still used by existing code, the
`legacy_type` is not removed. All existing nodes keep their current
`legacy_type`. New nodes will receive an auto-incremented legacy type. It's
still necessary to give nodes unique legacy types, because some code checks if
two nodes have the same type by comparing their `legacy_type`. These types only
have to be unique at run-time though. Some randomness is used to avoid depending
on stable generated legacy types accidentally.

This patch normalizes the Bloom output to be more energy conserving and
in a reasonable range. This is essentially constructed such that the
impulse response to a constant input maintains the same input.
The reason why Bloom has a very high range is because it accumulates a
downsampling chain without any sort of attenuation, so the final result
can be quite large. EEVEE fixed that by making the Strength range in the
[0, 0.1] range, so users who are used to that range think the default
value of a unit Strength in the glare node is large and hard to work
with. Hence the need for this patch.
The normalization factor is simply the length of the chain, since for a
constant input, all chain images will have the same constant input.
We need to version this change in a similar manner to how the glare node
was versioned in 004e3d39fa, where the scene render size is assumed. We
also assume the inputs are not connected, because they were turned into
inputs just last week, so we needn't worry about that case.
This is a partial implementation of #124176 to address #131325.

The passed `StringRef` can be empty, so we shouldn't pass it to
`BLI_strdupn` in this case.
If an empty string is passed to either `set` function

Addresses #78171, #61828, #62473 and many closed reports about this.
Until now, the "Adjust Last Operation" would keep being available after
changing various properties in the UI. Actually using it to adjust the
last operation parameters would undo the other changes done through the
UI, which is unexpected and easy to miss. Users would keep running into
this, thinking it was a bug, as the many reports merged into #78171
indicate.
As agreed on in the report, adjusting the last operation shouldn't be
possible after changing properties in the UI that send an undo push.
That's what this PR implements, together with removing the "Adjust Last
Operation" region at that point.

This patch reorganizes the Glare node inputs into panels, grouped by the
function they perform. The panels are:
- Highlights: Which are inputs related to highlights extraction.
- Adjust: Which are inputs that adjusts the generated glare.
- Glare: Which are glare type specific inputs.
Additionally, the Threshold parameter was assigned a more unique
identifier to be more future proof and consistent with other inputs, and
the descriptions of some inputs were updated.

Compiling of graphics shaders via gpu crashed. The vulkan backend found
a compute source and continued the evaluation as if it was a compute
shader.
The compute source was added by the preprocessor that wraps the shader
source. Even empty sources were wrapped. Detection based on empty shader
sources failed.
This is not a Vulkan only issue as other platforms would have similar issues when
creating a compute shader.

Pipeline barriers were extracted when recording commands. This works,
but had the downside that it locked the device resources. Extracting
pipeline barriers is fairly small task compared to recording commands.
This PR will perform the extraction of pipelines separate from command
recording. Code is easier to follow and when working with multiple threads
this will reduce locking (enabling this will be done in separate PR).

Convert mesh objects to grease pencil, optionally preserve mesh faces as
filled shapes, and convert crease edges into strokes. Following options
are available:
- Whether to convert faces to filled strokes.
- Stroke thickness.
- Stroke offset (Using normal direction to lift strokes out of mesh
surfaces).
Note that "Crease Angle" option from legacy grease pencil is not ported
to this implementation. This option is deemed more suitable for using
geometry nodes to achieve.

Resolve regression introduced in [0] intended to fix another regression
introduced in [1] to resolve an assert from [2] (a C++ cleanup).
Recent changes made the array modifier return early with the start-cap's
mesh however this meant the required custom-data layers wouldn't
necessarily exist on the returned mesh, causing selection to crash.
Besides this the same logic was missing from the end-cap.
Resolve by restoring the logic from before [1],
adding a check to prevent the assert.

Just like legacy Actions get a slot "Legacy Slot" when they're
