- Suppress the warning entirely when the "first time" message
requesting online access is shown as it adds unnecessary noise.
- Otherwise, when offline, show a message suggesting to allow online
access or disable the repository.
With the new closure approach, the code can be simplified and cleaned up quite
a bit.
This also removes four parameters, which is helpful for future additions (!123616)
since the parameter limit appears to be reached.

The sync with remote repositories would lock-up the interface with no
way to cancel. This could be a problem especially on slow connections.
The operator dialog is now shows the state of syncing which can
be canceled by pressing Escape or clicking away from the dialog.
Port `GPENCIL_OT_layer_duplicate_object` operator to new structure.
New function created to duplicate layer and its frames. This could also
be used in duplicate_layer operator later.

The default "System" repository which was ordered before "User Default",
order system repositories last as these are a special case many users
won't touch.
Add definitions for the UI icons that we use in larger sizes, like in
the File Browser or in dialogs. The SVG source files for these are
already in the project, this just allows their use like ICON_FILE_LARGE
or ICON_WARNING_LARGE.

Reference identifiers instead of "above" in code comments as these
tends to become outdated. Even when declarations are removed it's at
least clear that the reference no longer exists instead of referring to
whatever is currently above the declaration.
It's also straightforward to search history for a removed identifier.
Corrected 4 cases of references to things that were no longer above
the doc-strings. Noticed other references which look to be incorrect
but need further investigation.
Precompiled Cycles kernels make up a considerable fraction of the total size of
Blender builds nowadays. As we add more features and support for more
architectures, this will only continue to increase.
However, since these kernels tend to be quite compressible, we can save a lot
of storage by storing them in compressed form and decompressing the required
kernel(s) during loading.
By using Zstandard compression with a high level, we can get decent compression
ratios (~5x for the current kernels) while keeping decompression time low
(about 30ms in the worse case in my tests). And since we already require zstd
for Blender, this doesn't introduce a new dependency.
While the main improvement is to the size of the extracted Blender installation
(which is reduced by ~400-500MB currently), this also shrinks the download on
Windows, since .zip's deflate compression is less effective. It doesn't help on
Linux since we're already using .tar.xz there, but the smaller installed size
is still a good thing.
See #123522 for initial discussion.

Small (50%) increase in the maximum values for UI resolution scale. UI
max changing from 2 to 3, property max from 4 to 6. Not only to mark
the change to improved icons at larger scale, but also to help with
testing and for better screen captures.

Using ICON_NONE causes textures to be referenced even though nothing
is ultimately drawn. This adds an early exit for this value, and also
changes the type of it from ICON_TYPE_COLOR_TEXTURE (used to display
a full-color bitmap) to ICON_TYPE_MONO_TEXTURE (normal one-color type
now coming from SVG).

- Optionally generate a simple HTML page (using --html).
- Links include repository, blender_versnon_* & platform information,
so the information can be used by blender when links are dropped
into Blender.
- Support using a template as the default HTML is primitive.
- Disable enabling on install when installing marked.
This simplifies installing many packages from a repository which can
be useful for testing.
- Fix an error installing marked when a local-only package was marked.
File browser can now show thumbnail view in a larger range of sizes.
Unfortunately there is a lower bound currently set on the icon that is
shown in the middle of the "document" that assumes 64 is the smallest
(the old minimum). This causes these icons to overflow below 64. Just
something that was missed when we allowed smaller sizes. This small
change supports down to 16.

Distribute our UI icons as separate SVG files in a folder in the
Blender installation. Rasterize each only when requested at the exact
size needed, and then saved in the text glyph cache for later uses.

If a non-instanced collection is linked, any collection exporters on the
linked collection would be active and invokable. This is probably not
desired as it could inadvertently overwrite files from the original.
Disable the operators in this case.
See PR for how each of the various append/link scenarios behave.
