"Light" already has multiple contexts, but some were missing:
- In general, "Light" refers to a Blender Light object. In many cases,
this comes from an `id_type` enum, already using the ID context. Use
it also for properties that were missing that context.
- In the context of render passes, "Light" is the actual illumination
factor, not the light emitor. A new "Render Layer" translation
context is introduced for this purpose as no existing ones are both
specific and explicit enough.
Issue reported by Hoang Duy Tran.
- In the context of mesh extrusion, "Fill" means "Fill the rim of an
extruded edge loop" (verb).
- In the context of the file browser, it means select every file
between beginning and end.
- In the context of an image, fill the tile with generated image.
Issue reported by Hoang Duy Tran.
- "Extend" usually means making selection bigger around the current
one.
- In the context of Grease Pencil filling, it means lengthen lines.
- In the context of curve mappings, it refers to the extrapolation
mode.
- In the context of volume sequences, it refers to frame range
extension.
Issue reported by Hoang Duy Tran.
"End" in "Clip End" can be better translated to something like "Far"
in some languages. Using the "Camera" context even when it's not
specifically a camera clipping (also affects light probes).
Issue reported by Gorazd-Gorup.
- "Cross" can refer to a cross shape "+" in the context of a gizmo or
a particle display mode.
- In the context of a sequence, refers to a blending mode (cross
fade).
Issue reported by Hoang Duy Tran.
- In a text sequence, "Box" refers to the color rectangle behind the
text. Reuses the "Sequence" context already used for the same thing.
Issue reported by Gabriel Gazzán.
- In the context of Grease Pencil, meaning "Overshoot".
- In the context of XR navigation, meaning "Going backwards".
This introduces a "Navigation" context. Closest existing match is
"View3D" but this is already used to refer to view axes.
Issue reported by Hoang Duy Tran.
- In the Grease Pencil Build modifier, "Additive" describes how it
works, not a math operation.
- In the Copy Scale constraint, additive mode is not really a math
operation either.
Issue reported by Hoang Duy Tran.
- "Match Case" and "Wrap Around" were renamed but they do not need a
translation context anymore.
- Spreadsheet tooltips with unneeded translation of format
strings like `fmt::format(TIP_("{}"))`.
This works around ffmpeg bug https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/10755
where for specific files that are:
- Ogg container format, with supported audio stream (e.g. Vorbis),
- But the video stream is not Ogg-compatible (e.g. Theora), but rather
it is an embedded "album art" (AV_DISPOSITION_ATTACHED_PIC) in
MJPEG, PNG or some other non-Ogg format.
Calling any sort of ffmpeg "seek" function on that video stream just
aborts from innards of ffmpeg.
So to work around this:
- Detect such files (ogg container, non-theora video, attached picture
disposition) and for those:
- Never seek within them, and only ever decode one frame. Return that
frame for any & all "give me a frame" requests.
- Additionally, calculating "how many frames this video has" for such
files also returns nonsense ("millions of frames") since their frame
rate is set to like 90000 or similar. So pretend they have a "sane"
frame rate. Do all this frame rate calculation just once when opening
the video, and use that result in all other places.
- Never build proxies for such video files, since e.g. "timecode"
for them does not make sense.
All of this could be removed once/if ffmpeg fixes their issue.

Do not set solo preview if strip is sound type.
Originally I wanted to set solo preview to strip, that is below chosen
sound strip, but now I think, that is would be confusing.

EEVEE material slots would be erroreously shown when there's no material
slots in a Grease Pencil object. Changed the `poll` function to prevent
this from happening.

In order to copy vertex group weights when subdividing strokes the
groups (`bDeformGroup`) must be created in advance, so that the attribute
wrappers correctly write to `CD_MDEFORMVERT` layer instead of creating simple
`CD_PROP_FLOAT` layers.
In addition the subdivision function must take care to fully write the
destination arrays, since initial values must be considered uninitialized (this
is obfuscated for simple CustomData arrays but breaks with more complex
attributes that use a buffer). In order to ensure fully defined destination
buffers without additional copies, the `finish` call to attribute writers is
postponed until the unselected attribute values have also been copied from input
buffers and all the values are properly defined.

Only enable by default dynamic rendering local read on Qualcomm devices. NVIDIA, AMD and Intel
performance is better when disabled (20%). On Qualcomm devices the improvement can be
substantial (16% on shader_balls.blend).
`--debug-gpu-vulkan-local-read` can be used to use dynamic rendering local read on any
supported platform.
Future: Check if bottleneck is during command building. If so we could fine-tune this after the
device command building landed (#T132682).

This will add support for `VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering_local_read` when supported.
The extension allows reading from an attachment that has been written to by a
previous command.
Per platform optimizations still need to happen in future changes. Change will
be limited to Qualcomm devices (in a future commit).
On Qualcomm devices this provides an uplift of 16% when using shader_balls.blend

`flip_axis` is currently an enum RNA property. This makes impossible to
toggle the individual axis. Now fixed by converting the property to
boolean. UI drawing code is same as done for mirror modifier.
New enum values are introduced for each axis

In preparation for allowing the Nurbs reader to import as curves rather
than mesh, change `USDCurvesReader` to be abstract so we can share most
of the boilerplate in the base class. The existing basis-curves code is
shifted into a new `USDBasisCurvesReader` class.

- Previously, `change_frame_invoke` always ran
`sequencer_skip_for_handle_tweak` check, even if the user was not
using the sequencer. Now, the check is only done if the user is in the
sequencer, where it is possible for them to tweak strips.
- It is now impossible to change the frame from the sequencer preview,
so remove that logic.
- Also add some explanatory comments for RCS keymap logic in the code.
Part of Code Quality Project outlined in #130975.
This patch eschews warning messages urging the user to "select all
related strips" when copying or creating new metastrips and instead
automatically includes those related strips in the operation.
- Attempting to copy or create a metastrip with no strips selected no
longer delivers a warning.
- When copying strip(s), if there are related effect chains, they will
be automatically selected and included in the copy if the operation
succeeds.
- The decision to select related strips was intentional, as it allows
the user to easily see the entire effect chain and thus which strips
were copied.
- When creating a new metastrip, if there are related effect chains,
they will automatically be included in the resulting metastrip.
- This is done using a new
`SEQ_query_strip_connected_and_effect_chain()` iterator. This
iterator is only used for metastrips, and not copying, since the
user may wish to only copy single strips in a connection, but
connected strips should always stay together in a metastrip/seqbase.

Event Icons, those typically shown on the taskbar to indicate keymap
entries, can differ in width. This length is not taken into account
for the modifier keys used when showing collapsed XYZ operations. This
PR just does so.

Make it have similar display style and placement as current frame
indicators used elsewhere (timeline, animation etc.), i.e.
time_scrub_ui.cc draw_current_frame:
- The text label is centered on the frame (instead of left aligned),
- Background box uses rounded corners,
- Background box uses padding that scales with overall UI scale,
- Text color uses TH_HEADER_TEXT_HI which makes it more readable
This partially addresses issue #124287 (better text legibility, and
due to label being centered it is less clipped when on the right
side). But fully solving the issue would probably have to be done
across the board for all current frame indicators, with some design
work.

While testing the RX 5700XT with HIP on Linux, I noticed that under
specific conditions, shadows would not render properly. The specific
conditions being a combination of:
- Curve rendering
- Subsurface Scattering
- Custom mesh light shaders
- Specific GPU and HIP compiler combinations
This specific combination was not present in the render test suite.
This commit adds a heavily simplified verion of a file that is affected
(Cosmos Laundromat demo) to the test suite to test for this specific
issue.

The Cycles render engine switches between two triangle light sampling
methods depending on the distance to the triangle, and the size of the
triangle.
In a earlier version of Blender, one of the sampling methods was broken
during a refactor. This commit adds a test scene that clearly shows off
both sampling systems so if it breaks again, it will easily
and clearly be shown in the test results.

Changing the active collection redraws many regions, not the Outliner
header though (blender itself does not need a redraw there -- it does
not present anything related to active collection in the header). This
was requested from Addon devs in #109995 (placing active collection
related buttons there).
