Part of "improve filtering situation" (#116980), now strip scaling filter defaults to "Auto" which has logic like:
- No scale, no rotation, integer positions: Nearest (fastest)
- Scaling up by more than 2x: Cubic Mitchell, so you get nicer blending between pixels than with bilinear,
- Scaling down by more than 2x: Box, so that many pixels are averaged properly without too much aliasing,
- Otherwise: Bilinear
Existing strips that use Bilinear (which is default) get switched to Auto when loading older files.
All of this has an advantage that unless you have some special needs for your look, you can leave it at default and it will look decently good at either large up-scaling or large down-scaling, but not waste performance if you don't use any scaling at all. Previously none of the choices were good in "all cases": box (née subsampled3x3) only looks good when scaling down, cubic only looks good when scaling up, default bilinear leaves performance on the table when you don't use any scale/rotation, etc.
On something like Gold movie current edit, most of the strips effectively use Nearest now, except some that are translated into non-integer pixel positions; those stay effectively Bilinear.

This was caused by global variable `sound_cfra` not being updated when
rendering sequencer data. This global variable could cause problems in
other cases though, so it is removed. Functions that are used to set
anomation buffers now accept frame as argument.

`UUID` generally stands for "universally unique identifier". The session identifier that
we use is neither universally unique, nor does it follow the standard. Therefor, the term
"session uuid" is confusing and should be replaced.
In #116888 we briefly talked about a better name and ended up with "session uid".
The reason for "uid" instead of "id" is that the latter is a very overloaded term in Blender
already.
This patch changes all uses of "uuid" to "uid" where it's used in the context of a
"session uid". It's not always trivial to see whether a specific mention of "uuid" refers
to an actual uuid or something else. Therefore, I might have missed some renames.
I can't think of an automated way to differentiate the case.
BMesh also uses the term "uuid" sometimes in a the wrong context (e.g. `UUIDFaceStepItem`)
but there it also does not mean "session uid", so it's *not* changed by this patch.

This was caused by 5c76c7bf84, which only updated sound when tagged by
`ID_RECALC_AUDIO`. On undo or rendering, this flag is missing.
Update equalizer when recalc is flagged by `ID_RECALC_COPY_ON_WRITE`.

Split the code, use preconditions, use rather plain language for
function names and add comments where it is not totally obvious, what
the code is supposed to do.
Currently retiming is quite awkward, when you need to retime multiple
strips strips in sync. It is possible to use meta strips, but this is
still not great. This is resolved by implementing selection.
General changes:
Gizmos are removed, since they are designed to operate only on active
strip and don't support selection.
Transform operator code is implemented for retiming data, which allows
more sophisticated manipulation.
Instead of drawing marker-like symbols, keyframes are drawn to
represent retiming data. Retiming handles are now called keys. To have
consistent names, DNA structures have been renamed.
Retiming data is drawn on strip as overlay.
UI changes:
Retiming tool is removed. To edit retiming data, press Ctrl + R, select
a key and move it. When retiming is edited, retiming menu and
context menu shows more relevant features, like making transitions.
Strip and retiming key selection can not be combined. It is possible to
use box select operator to select keys, if any key is selected.
Otherwise strips are selected.
Adding retiming keys is possible with I shortcut or from menu.
Retiming keys are always drawn at strip left and right boundary. These
keys do not really exist until they are selected. This is to simplify
retiming of strips that are resized. These keys are called "fake keys"
in code.
API changes:
Functions, properties and types related to retiming handles are renamed
to retiming keys:
retiming_handle_add() -> retiming_key_add()
retiming_handle_move() -> retiming_key_move()
retiming_handle_remove() -> retiming_key_remove()
retiming_handles -> retiming_keys
RetimingHandle -> RetimingKey
Retiming editing "mode" is activated by setting `Sequence.show_retiming_keys`.

The sound equalizer is using the Audaspace FFT Convolver.
The blender part creates an array of descriptions of power per "band"
and orders the creation of Equalizer (ISound) in the Audaspace.
Modifier can be created on sound strips. It lets you define
amplification or attenuation over frequency range from 30Hz to 20 kHz.
The power is limited to -30 db - 30 db. This is done using curve
mapping widget.

The `lib_link` callback cannot always be fully replaced/removed, as in
some case it is also doing some validation checks, or data editing based
on the result of lib_linking internal ID pointers.
The callback has been renamed for that purpose, from `read_lib` to
`read_after_liblink`. It is now called after all ID pointers have been
fully lib-linked for the current ID, but still before the call to
`do_versions_after_linking`.
This change should not have any behavioral effect. Although in theory
the side-effect of this commit (to split lib linking itself, and the
validation/further processing code) into two completely separated steps
could have some effects, in practice none are expected, and tests did
not show any changes in behavior either..
Part of implementing #105134: Removal of readfile's lib_link & expand code.
The `expand` callback is 'trivial' to replace, since it is only iterating
over ID pointers and calling a callback.
The only change in behavior here is that some pointers that were not
processed previously will now be.
In practice this is not expected to have any real effect (usually
the IDs used by these pointers would have been expanded through other
usages anyway). But it may solve a few corner cases, undocumented issues
though.
Part of implementing #105134: Removal of readfile's lib_link & expand code.
This fixes a few related issues in VSE code:
* 'lib_link' code was doing 'read_data' tasks (like cleaning up internal
runtime data).
* Handling of `SEQ_TYPE_SOUND_HD` deprecated type of strips was
extremely confusing (versioning done partly in 'lib_link' code, partly
in some 2.50 do_version code).
* Still using deprecated `SEQ_TYPE_SOUND_HD` strip type outside of
versioning code.
* Missing proper usage of deprecated `SEQ_TYPE_SOUND_HD` type inside of
versioning code (!).
Note that the actual conversion from `SEQ_TYPE_SOUND_HD` to
`SEQ_TYPE_SOUND_RAM` is now done in the 'after setup' versioning
process, where it is somewhat safer to add IDs. This implies that
`SEQ_TYPE_SOUND_HD` must be taken into account throughout the whole
regular versioning process (before and after liblink).
Conversion logic itself has been moved to the VSE code.

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
