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:

When a file passed in from the command line failed to load,
blender would exit & save the quit.blend.
Resolve by adding a `do_user_exit_actions` to WM_exit_ex which is
false in backgrounds mode or when an error has occurred.

Callers to WM_exit needed to set G.is_break for a predictable exit-code.
This is error prone as G.is_break may be set based on the user having
pressed escape during event handling.
Instead, pass the exit code as an argument.
Function naming made it seem main_args_setup might need to call
main_args_setup_post, when this was in fact only needed for handing
final arguments.
Call BLI_args_parse directly and expose main_args_handle_load_file
as a public function. Move handle_load_file into a separate function
which is called by --open-last.
When a blend file failed to load from the command line,
blender would load a blend file with the path set to the location
that could not be loaded.
Now the command line argument is only treated as a new file
if the file does not already exist. Failure to load a file that
is found always exists with an error.
- BLENDER_STARTUP_FILE was included as a literal instead of expanding
into 'startup.blend' as intended.
- Single quote cycles device (matching image formats).
- Include all GPU back-ends from bpy.app.help_text(all=True)
- Minor changes to simplify conversion to RST.
Optionally extract all help text, even for options not available
on the current platform or with the current build options.
Useful so it's possible to extract help text for the user-manual
which doesn't depend on the blender build used for extraction.
Windows file associations using ProgID, needed because of the launcher.
This fixes "pin to taskbar" and Recent Documents lists, allow per-
version jump lists and an "Open with" list with multiple versions.

This function handles cleaning valid system paths that are functional
when passed to `open(..)` but may be relative to the current working
directory or have redundant slashers that can be normalized.
Keep these operations separate to simplify path handling logic & docs.
Many callers passed NULL and there were times paths were passed in which
didn't make any sense (where the paths had already been made absolute).
The renderdoc integration used to be behind the `--debug-gpu`
command line option. When using `--debug-gpu` outside renderdoc
error messages where displayed that aren't relevant.
This PR adds a specific command line option for the renderdoc
integration. This option will also enable `--debug-gpu`.

These are not really about reading or writing .blend files, they are
general utilities for file-names/paths. Having to link to the
blendloader library just for these utilities is annoying.
Moved them to `BKE_blendfile.h` now, in agreement with Bastien.

(MacOS) only: In the System tab of the user preferences the user has the
ability to select a GPU backend that Blender will use. After changing
the GPU backend setting, the user has to restart Blender before the
setting is used.
It was added to start collecting feedback on the Metal backend without
using the command lines.
By default Blender will select OpenGL as backend. When Metal is selected
(via `--gpu-backend metal` or via user preferences) OpenGL will be used as
fallback when the platform isn't capable of running Metal.
This patch adds a placeholder for the vulkan backend.
When activated (`WITH_VULKAN_BACKEND=On` and `--gpu-backend vulkan`)
it might open a blender screen, but nothing should be visible as
none of the functions are implemented or otherwise crash on a nullptr.
This is expected as this is just a placeholder. The goal is to add shader compilation
+validation to this backend as one of the next steps so we can validate
changes to existing shaders on OpenGL, Metal and Vulkan at the same time.

Add command line argument to switch gpu backend. Add `--gpu-backend` option to
override the gpu backend selected by Blender.
Values for this option that will be available in releases for now are:
* opengl: Force blender to select OpenGL backend.
During development and depending on compile options additional values can exist:
* metal: Force Blender to select Metal backend.
When this option isn't provided the internal logic for GPU backend selection will be used.
Note that this is at the time of writing the same as always selecting the opengl backend.

Even though individual USER/SYSTEM paths could be set using environment variables,
it wasn't possible to override the USER or SYSTEM paths.
This meant the result of `bpy.utils.resource_path('USER')` &
`bpy.utils.resource_path('SYSTEM')` could still be used by scripts,
making the Blender session potentially the default USER directory
(even when `BLENDER_USER_CONFIG`, `BLENDER_USER_SCRIPTS` &
`BLENDER_USER_DATAFILES` all point elsewhere).
Resolve by adding environment variables:
- BLENDER_USER_RESOURCES
- BLENDER_SYSTEM_RESOURCES
These will be used for `bpy.utils.resource_path('USER')` &
`bpy.utils.resource_path('SYSTEM')`, as well as a basis for user &
system directories, unless those environment variables are
set (`BLENDER_USER_*` or `BLENDER_SYSTEM_*`).

Ref D16111
In heavy scenes containing many hairs/curves and volumetrics
using SSBO can overwrite the binding information of the volumetric
resolve shader. This has been detected during project Heist and is
only reproducable on NVIDIA platform.
This patch adds an debug option to disable SSBOs from the command
line to replace the --debug-gpu-force-workarounds that has been
used as a workaround on the render farm. Reason is that
force workarounds will also add other limitations as well (number
of texture binds for example)
Also fixes missing code to read/write/free/copy color management settings
in various places. This can't be set through the UI currently, but still
should be handled consistently.
