Over the last couple years (!) UI buttons have moved to derived classes,
meaning we don't need to use the same "a1" and "a2" variables to store
different information. At this point, that information is set specifically
by internal UI code, or functions like `UI_but_*_set`.
These values are only set to their default 0 values now (or -1 in some
non-meaningful cases). This commit removes the values from buttons
and removes the remaining a1 and a2 arguments from the UI API.
Without the extra precision, `fmt::format` rounds the resulting float to one with
fewer significant digits. This is generally nice, but not desired in this specific
case for consistency with the value stored in the socket.

This changes the drawing of the zone nodes to align corresponding input
and output sockets. The resulting nodes are smaller and it's easier to see
how data is passed through them.
Drawing aligned sockets is already technically supported for quite a while
already, but we haven't used it so far. Using them for zone nodes seems to
provide benefits only. How we use aligned sockets in other nodes still has
to be discussed more.
This patch only changes run-time data. It doesn't affect what is written to
.blend files.
In the node declaration, aligned sockets are created by tagging a socket
so that it is aligned with the previous socket. This is a bit different from
what we had before where a single socket declaration would be used for
an input and output socket. I think the approach used here works better,
especially in a potential future scenario where the input and output socket
has a different type.

The tiled compositor code is mainly still around, which is only
expected to be a short-lived period. Eventually it will also be
removed.
The OpenCL, Group Buffers, and Chunk size options are already removed.

Implements the design from #116067.
The socket type is called "Matrix" but it is often referred to as "Transform"
when that's what it is semantically. The attribute type is "4x4 Matrix" since
that's a lower level choice. Currently matrix sockets are always passed
around internally as `float4x4`, but that can be optimized in the future
when smaller types would give the same behavior.
A new "Matrix" utilities category has the following set of initial nodes"
- **Combine Transform**
- **Separate Transform**
- **Multiply Matrices**
- **Transform Direction**
- **Transform Vector**
- **Invert Matrix**
- **Transpose Matrix**
The nodes and socket type are behind an experimental flag for now,
which will give us time to make sure it's the right set of initial nodes.
The viewer node overlay doesn't support matrices-- they aren't supported
for rendering in general. They also aren't supported in the modifier interface
currently. But they are supported in the spreadsheet, where the value is
displayed in a tooltip.

Visually it is the same as the execution time implemented for the
geometry nodes, and it is to be enabled in the overlay popover.
The implementation is separate from the geometry nodes, as it is
not easy or practical to re-use the geometry nodes implementation.
The execution time is stored in a run-time hash, indexed by a node
instance key. This is similar to the storage of the mode preview
images, but is stored on the scene runtime data and not on the node
tree. Indexing the storage by key allows to easily copy execution
statistics from localized tree to its original version.
The time is only implemented for full-frame compositor, as for the
tiled compositor it could be tricky to calculate reliable time for
pixel processing nodes which process one pixel at a time.

In 4.1 we deprecate the `Rotate Euler` node in favor of the `Rotate Rotation`
node which uses the new rotation socket type. The node is not removed
(for now) because that would come with compatibility issues. More generally,
we'll likely run into the situation where nodes are deprecated more often in the
future, without actually removing them to keep compatibility. This patch improves
how such nodes are handled in the UI.
The patch does three things:
* Adds a new `Utilities > Deprecated` entry in the add node menu in geometry nodes.
* Moves search items which are deprecated to the bottom in the search results
(currently, this only works in English, can be fixed in bcon3).
* Adds a new `bNodeType->deprecation_notice` that will result in a deprecation
warning when the node is used.

Sometimes a frame node can't be behind another because of parenting.
Comparing the two nodes with `compare_node_depth` would give that
result too, but sometimes every combination of frame node isn't tested.
In that case, the existing values of `ui_order` matter, and we should start
the sort there. So first sort based on the existing order, then do a stable
sort to fulfill the constrains coming from selection and parenting.
The previous commit introduced a new `RPT_()` macro to translate
strings which are not tooltips or regular interface elements, but
longer reports or statuses.
This commit uses the new macro to translate many strings all over the
UI.
Most of it is a simple replace from `TIP_()` or `IFACE_()` to
`RPT_()`, but there are some additional changes:
- A few translations inside `BKE_report()` are removed altogether
because they are already handled by the translation system.
- Messages inside `UI_but_disable()` are no longer translated
manually, but they are handled by a new regex in the translation
system.

Along with the 4.1 libraries upgrade, we are bumping the clang-format
version from 8-12 to 17. This affects quite a few files.
If not already the case, you may consider pointing your IDE to the
clang-format binary bundled with the Blender precompiled libraries.
The goal here is to make it easier to make node links. Previously, it was quite
easy to accidentally start box selection or to trigger the link-drag-search when
that was not intended.
Now, the tolerances are a bit easier to work with. Also, instead of trying to use
the first socket that is close enough, it will find the closest socket instead. It feels
much better in my testing already, but obviously the values can be tuned more
with some testing.
Also we have to make sure to not accidentally make other things like resizing
nodes harder.

Improvements to the drawing of shadows, used with blocks, menus, nodes,
etc. Improvements to shape, especially at the top corner or at extremes
of widget roundness. Allows transparent objects to have shadows. This
is a nice refactor that removes a lot of code.

This struct is currently defined in the `functions` module but not actually used there. It's only used by the geometry nodes module, with an indirect dependency from blenkernel via simulation zone baking. This scope is problematic when adding grids as socket data, which should not be part of the functions module.
The `ValueOrField` struct is now moved to blenkernel, so it can be more easily extended to other kinds of data that might be passed around by geometry nodes sockets in future. No functional changes.

Makes it possible to swipe over panel header to batch open/collapse all
panels the mouse draged over. Normal panels and sub-panels support this
too.
Two changes were needed:
- Support "drag toggle" feature for `UI_BTYPE_BUT_TOGGLE` - all toggle
buttons should/can support this.
- Allow querying the pushed state from the button used for the
collapsing. Multiple ways to do this, in this case simply using the
pushed state query callback seemed simplest.

If the draw_color method is not defined, try to use draw_color_simple as
a fallback. If not defined either, fallback to a magenta color.
The patch also updates the description of the method to clarify its use.

Here is too many inconsistencies in used data type for coordinates.
That commit change int to float for socket draw. There is still many
node/text/other ui draw code with mix up int's and clamped floats
(to looks like int's). That fix is just small step to finally just use float.

Customs sockets always ignore their draw_color method and are always
drawn using a magenta color.
This is a regression that was introduced in e071288ab2. The commit used
the simple variant even for drawing nodes where a context is available.
So this patch mostly reverts those changes.

The last good commit was 8474716abb.
After this commits from main were pushed to blender-v4.0-release. These are
being reverted.
Commits a4880576dc from to b26f176d1a that happend afterwards were meant for
4.0, and their contents is preserved.
In !112591, nodes got the ability to group sockets into panels. The
labels for these sockets are automatically shortened if they begin
with the same text as their parent labels. For instance, "Transmission
Weight" will be shortened to just "Weight" because it is under the
"Transmission" panel.
While this is a good heuristic for English, it breaks down in
languages which do not have the same word order.
This commit adds a `.short_label()` callback to socket declarations so
that a shortened label can be explicitly declared.
It also adds two regexps to the translation script so that these new
fields can be extracted to the .po translation files. One extracts the
label with a translation context, the other without. Only the one
without context is currently in use.
The current automatic shortening logic is kept and will be used only
if a shortened label is not manually provided.
Fixes#112970: Node socket labels under panels are not shortened when
translated.

Currently nodes are reordered so that the "on top" nodes are last in
the list. Node order changing for simple operations like selection
means we either have to reevaluate the node tree data-block on
selections or accept that the evaluated order can be different from the
original. Currently we do the latter (see d76a0e98ba), but
makes it complex to access nodes by index, and is hard to reason about.
Instead of reordering nodes, store the ui order in the node itself
and sort the nodes before drawing them or doing any processing
that depends on the "depth."
The "selected_nodes" list in the context is no longer ordered by the
recent selection.
