`AssetHandle` is meant as temporary design and should be replaced by
`AssetRepresentation`. This moves us another step closer to that.
Rather than taking data from the volatile asset handle and storing that
in the drag data, store the (more persistent) asset representation there
and access data from it where needed.
A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:

No behavior change intended.
Many file drag & drop handlers used the icon assigned for dragging to
determine what type of data is dragged. This is fragile, for example
changing an icon would break drag & drop (!). This happened a few times,
e.g. see 3788003cda. It's also causing problems with #104830, which
changes how file browser drag data is handled.
Instead use the file extension to determine the file type.
This reverts commit 19222627c6.
Something went wrong here, seems like this commit merged the main branch
into the release branch, which should never be done.
This reverts commit 68181c2560.
I merged 3.6 into 3.5 by mistake. Basically I had a PR against main,
then changed it in the last minute to be against 3.5 via the
web-interface unaware that I shouldn't do it without updating the
patch.

Note that the node group has its sockets names
translated, while the built-in nodes don't.
So we need to use data_ for the built-in nodes names,
and the sockets of the created node groups.
Pull Request #104889
Introduces a new `AssetRepresentation` type, as a runtime only container
to hold asset information. It is supposed to become _the_ main way to
represent and refer to assets in the asset system, see T87235. It can
store things like the asset name, asset traits, preview and other asset
metadata.
Technical documentation:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/Architecture/Asset_System/Back_End#Asset_Representation.
By introducing a proper asset representation type, we do an important
step away from the previous, non-optimal representation of assets as
files in the file browser backend, and towards the asset system as
backend. It should replace the temporary & hacky `AssetHandle` design in
the near future. Note that the loading of asset data still happens
through the file browser backend, check the linked to Wiki page for more
information on that.
As a side-effect, asset metadata isn't stored in file browser file
entries when browsing with link/append anymore. Don't think this was
ever used, but scripts may have accessed this. Can be brought back if
there's a need for it.
We would first invoke the dragging, and then set the drag data (like the
ID or the dragged modifier), so the `wmDropBox.on_drag_start()` handler
wouldn't be able to access this. This broke dragging some IDs from the
Outliner, noticed in D15333.
It's now possible to first create/request drag data, extend it, and then
invoke the actual dragging. The normal function to start dragging
returns `void` now instead of `wmDrag *`, so the drag data can't easily
be modified after starting anymore.
Moves code for managing dragging data from buttons to a separate file.
This way all this closely related code is in one location, making it
easier to see how it all relates, and easier to find.
