Blender crashes when calling the python render operator when GPU
compositor execution is enabled. This is due to a missing system GPU
context, which is not initialized for blocking rendering. So this patch
ensures the system GPU context before compositing. Additionally, it
removes the assert that ensures a non main thread execution, since the
assumption apparently does not really hold.

The issue was caused by an integer overflow in the `FFMPEGReader::seek`, which
lead to different results depending on an exact compiler version and platform.
The overflow happened in the equation which calculates `m_position`, in its
`packet.pts - st_time` part, which is effectively `int64_t - uint64_t` which is
expected to result in `uint64_t` due to the way how upcasting works in C++.
With the values `packet.pts=0` and `st_time=353600` from the test file the
calculation resulted in a negative value, which then wrapped around due to the
unsigned nature of the type, resulting in very big value on arm64. The value
was wrong, but it did not manifest itself as an error, since the seek code
believed it found the place.
However, when built on x86 platform, the result value was very large negative
value. It is possible that the type upcasting went different, due to the
multiplication with a double value later in the formula. And this large negative
value lead to the seeking code to read the entire file, trying to make it so
the `m_position` is not less than the requested position.
Fortunately, the `AVStream::start_time` is `int64_t`, which leads to a simple
fix which avoids signed/unsigned cast, making the seeking code to properly
calculate `m_position` on both arm64 and x64 platforms, regardless of the
compiler.

The mesh triangulation data is stored in CPU memory with the same format
as the triangles GPU index buffer. Because of that we can skip creating a
temporary copied owned by the GPU API. One way to do that is to just
upload the data directly and avoid keeping a reference to it. However, we
can only upload GPU data from the main thread with OpenGL, so instead
reference the data and keep track of whether to free it.
When drawing a mesh with a single material and 1.8 million faces, this
change gives a 12-15% improvement in framerate, from about 32 to 37 FPS.
Part of #116901.

Previously, when dropping a node on a link with incompatible sockets, the link
would be removed. While sometimes useful in super simple setup, it is generally
useless for most work. Even worse, users might not notice that they accidentally
removed a link (this has been reported in the recent geometry nodes workshop).
This patch changes this behavior in two ways:
* A node can't be inserted onto an incompatible link anymore.
* A link will be dimmed while dragging a node over it, if it is incompatible or if
alt is pressed.

The pixels size was not computed in the right space.
This is the easy fix as refactoring the directional
shadows is too risky/time consuming right now.
Fix#121641
These operators in sculpt mode affect hidden geometry which is undesirable.
- bpy.ops.sculpt.face_set_edit
- bpy.ops.sculpt.face_sets_init
- bpy.ops.sculpt.face_sets_create(mode='SELECTION')
- bpy.ops.mesh.paint_mask_extract()
- bpy.ops.mesh.paint_mask_slice()
This PR adds checks for hidden faces in these operators.
For operator `bpy.ops.sculpt.face_sets_init` it also modifies the way
face sets indices were generated so generated indices is unique. This
is needed so new initialized face sets do not get same indices as hidden
face sets.
For generating unique face set index I have created a set container
which stores hidden face sets indices. Before assigning indices to a
face set it checks if it is already in set container, if it is then
it'll keep increasing index by 1 until it is not in set container.
Modifying Operator `bpy.ops.mesh.paint_mask_slice()` is little complex,
it will not affect hidden geometry only when fill holes option is
unchecked, because currently filling hole code does not take hidden
geometry into account and because of this in some cases hidden part
of geometry can be trapped inside mesh.

New operator OUTLINER_OT_start_filter bound to Ctrl-F to move keyboard
focus to the Outliner search filter box. And OUTLINER_OT_clear_filter
bound to Alt-F to clear the search box. Both similar to Properties.

Though the whole modifier menu could use a reorganization, it probably doesn't
make sense to do that before we have a builtin library of node group assets.
We already have the "Normals" category though, so these two modifiers make
more sense there.

`BM_mesh_triangulate` is used in exporters (when the "Triangulate"
option is ON), the `Triangulate` modifier and currently also in the
`Triangulate` geometry node (even though there are plans to change this,
see !112264)
So in practice, exporters (Alembic/FBX/OBJ/Collada) were breaking
custom normals for game pipelines (unless everything was triangulated
beforehand).
This change builds upon 93c8955a72 (uses the use
`BM_custom_loop_normals_to_vector_layer` /
`BM_custom_loop_normals_from_vector_layer` pair of calls).
In the case of the `Triangulate` modifier, this had its own try at
preserving custom normals in 7d0fcaa69a -- doing very similar
things but as an option -- this is now removed (so it is always done,
which fits into "interpolate custom data if it's there" design that we have
nowadays).
NOTE: the "Triangulate Faces" operator already did the same

This was caused by wrong assumption that `shadow_radius`
is also a radius for area light. To avoid the confusion,
use a new property for area light shadow scaling.
Blender shows invalid links in red in the node editor. However, it's not always
obvious why some links don't work, especially for beginners. This patch adds
additional information for every invalid link on the node that it links to.
The following error messages are added:
* Invalid link because of missing implicit conversions.
* Link cycle in node tree.
* A link from a field to a socket that does not support fields.
* Using the same menu on multiple Menu Switch nodes.
Currently, there are some per tree-type special cases in the link validation code.
In the future, this should be moved to tree type specific callbacks.

Previously, the new frame was always added as root frame and did not have a parent.
Now, the common root frame of all selected nodes is detected and the new frame is attached to it.

Fixes#121902, #121865, #121905 and some other reports that were closed
as duplicates.
Reverts a change done as part of 7d80fde033.
Reverting this change breaks the yet-to-be-used asset shelf popup a bit,
in that refreshing it won't work propery anymore. Think that's fair
given that 1) the popup isn't in use yet, 2) its refreshing implementation
causes a bunch of high priority bugs, and 3) #122068 is in review with a
better solution to handle refreshing. Namely, it converts the popup to a
popover, which handles refreshing differently, and thus makes the change
being reverted here unnecessary anyway.
In a recent module meeting
https://devtalk.blender.org/t/2024-05-21-grease-pencil-module-meeting/34755
it was proposed to to make "Delete Group" delete everything
(the group with children) and use "Ungroup"
for just deleting the group while keeping the children.
This implements the suggested change that was agreed upon.
The operator has a modal keymap with a toggle for inverted mode. This
key was only bound to `PRESS` events, preventing actual toggling during
modal operation.
It also needs to be invoked in inverted mode with ctrl, so a new
operator property was added to initialize the setting.

In `SyncModule::sync_curves/sync_point_cloud` the material variable
can be used after it has been freed. The cause is that cryptomatte
can request a new material, which might trigger a relocation of the
references material.
This PR fixes this by doing the shadow sync before the cryptomatte
sync.

The "Whole Character" keying set might fail to insert keys
when a property cannot be resolved.
This occurred on the Ellie rig from the Blender Studio.
The failing property was called "bone gizmo".
The fix is to check if `rna_property` exists.
