Essentially, any operator modifying Blender data should enable this
`UNDO` option, else bad things (corruption, crashes...) are likely to
happen.
* Added a new Operator example to explain this topic.
* Updated some existing Operator examples that were not correct anymore.
* Added a new small section in the gotchas page linking to it.
* Added also short reminder about this in the `UNDO` 'tooltip'
description itself.
Related to #77557.
This PR:
* Splits the `Gotchas` page into several sub-sections. This was getting too big and hard to navigate.
* Adds some information regarding Python instances life-time of objects wrapping Blender internal data.
* Adds some information about usage of constructors and destructors for sub-classes of Blender-defined types.

Replace plain-text type information with the type syntax used
for Python's type annotations as it's more concise, especially for
callbacks which often didn't include useful type information.
Note that this change only applies to inline doc-strings,
generated doc-strings from RNA need to be updated separately.
Details:
- Many minor corrections were made when "list" was incorrectly used
instead of "sequence".
- Some type information wasn't defined in the doc-strings and has been
added.
- Verbose type info would benefit from support for type aliases.
Integrate an existing implementation of the SLIM unwrapping algorithm
into Blender. More info about SLIM here:
https://igl.ethz.ch/projects/slim/
This commit is based on the integration code written by Aurel Gruber
for Blender 2.7x (unfinished and never merged with the main branch).
This commit is based on Aurel's code, rebased and further improved.
Details:
- Unwrap has been moved into a sub-menu,
slim unwrapping is exposed as: "Minimum Stretch".
- Live unwrap with SLIM refines the solutions using a timer.
- When using SLIM there are options to:
- Set the number of iterations.
- Weight the influence using vertex weights.
- SLIM can be disabled using the `WITH_UV_SLIM` build option.

- Move sys_info into an internal module to avoid having so many
top level modules for Blender's internal functionality.
- Rename system_info sub-modules that pre-fill URL's for clarity.
- Move top-level exception handling into the operator.
- Report an error if an unexpected exception occurs.
- Use `Exception` instead of `BaseException` as there is no reason to
catch the additional exceptions.
- Remove use of sys_info from the command line example,
replace with in-lined system info.
