This pull request adds the ability for the `propagation_steps` value
for certain automasking settings to be applied globally instead of
using the per-brush attribute.
Previously, while the flag settings were stored at the brush and global
level, the `propagation_steps` value would always change the brush
attribute even when using the global menu.

This patch adds support for _Menu Switch_ nodes and enum definitions in
node trees more generally. The design is based on the outcome of the
[2022 Nodes Workshop](https://code.blender.org/2022/11/geometry-nodes-workshop-2022/#menu-switch).
The _Menu Switch_ node is an advanced version of the _Switch_ node which
has a customizable **menu input socket** instead of a simple boolean.
The _items_ of this menu are owned by the node itself. Each item has a
name and description and unique identifier that is used internally. A
menu _socket_ represents a concrete value out of the list of items.
To enable selection of an enum value for unconnected sockets the menu is
presented as a dropdown list like built-in enums. When the socket is
connected a shared pointer to the enum definition is propagated along
links and stored in socket default values. This allows node groups to
expose a menu from an internal menu switch as a parameter. The enum
definition is a runtime copy of the enum items in DNA that allows
sharing.
A menu socket can have multiple connections, which can lead to
ambiguity. If two or more different menu source nodes are connected to a
socket it gets marked as _undefined_. Any connection to an undefined
menu socket is invalid as a hint to users that there is a problem. A
warning/error is also shown on nodes with undefined menu sockets.
At runtime the value of a menu socket is the simple integer identifier.
This can also be a field in geometry nodes. The identifier is unique
within each enum definition, and it is persistent even when items are
added, removed, or changed. Changing the name of an item does not affect
the internal identifier, so users can rename enum items without breaking
existing input values. This also persists if, for example, a linked node
group is temporarily unavailable.

The recently landed PR #115798has made it so the
hotkey `K` would call `anim.keyframe_insert_menu` with the property
`always_prompt` set to `True`.
This property still defaulted to `False` when called
from the menu leading to inconsistent
behavior when a keying set is active.
Fix it by setting `always_prompt` to `True` for the menu entries.

This is in response to feedback to the changes from #113504
While it does simplify inserting keyframes,
sometimes artists want to insert keys only to e.g. Location.
This takes longer to do now, since the option is in a menu.
This PR changes the following:
* new `K` hotkey to bring up the "Keying Set" menu.
This will always show the menu, even if a keying set is active.
* `Shift + K` will open a menu to set the active keying set
* with "Pie Menu on Drag" enabled in the user preferences,
hitting `I` and moving the mouse will bring up a pie menu
to insert only specific transform channels
Conceptually this separates the keying set behavior from the
insert keyframe behavior.
`I` will always add keyframes.
While `K` always shows keying set options.

This pull request adds the ability for the `Limit` and `Falloff` values for the View and Normal automask modes to be applied per-brush instead of modifying the global tool value.
Previously, while the flag settings were stored at the brush and global level, the values would always change the global value even when using the advanced tab of the brush menu.
## Testing
* `make test` results in 3 failures (49 - io_wavefront, 134 - compositor_distort_cpu, 323 - imbuf_save), but these tests appear to fail even prior to any changes being applied when running locally
* Manual testing with older version blend files to ensure that the value is defaulted correctly.
* Visual testing to verify that brush values are favored over global values.

Package management has been moved into addons_contrib so the addon
can be enabled when enabling extension repositories.
This means users can test extension repositories without having to
install a separate add-on.
Additional work is still needed with the server before this is ready
for general testing though.
Part of #117286.
View menu in animation and video editors are too
different from each other and unorganized.
Same operators appear in different places in different editors.
That makes navigating them harder, because for example
you expect framing operators at the bottom because they're
at the bottom in graph editor, but they're at the top in Sequencer
and 3D Viewport. It's important that ordering of operators
match as well as possible, so that users can expect certain
operators in certain places and dont spend time searching
for buttons in messy menus.
I tried to match ordering to 3D viewport menu
as much as possible, and also to use separators right,
so that grouping of items is logical and can be shareable between editors.
This grouping also looks better and makes navigation easier,
because it splits huge pile of toggles at the top of the menus
in smaller chunks and puts operators between them,
so they're esier to separate them in one glance.

Add an operator to remove all unused bone collections. This is added to
the bone collections "specials" menu and the tree view context menu.
A bone collection is considered "unused" when it has no bones assigned,
and also no child collection that has bones assigned.
Bone collections created via the `bpy.ops.armature.collection_new`
operator now always become the next sibling of the active bone
collection. If there is no active one, the new one is added at the end
of the list as root.
This removes the `.parent_index` property of the operator, as it is now
always created relative to the active bone collection.
- Group Extensions with Add-ons in preferences.
- No more official/community/testing, install and refresh.
- No more showing category on the headers
(there are no categories for extensions).
Changes proposed in #117285.
Splits the flag `..._FLAG_INSERTNEEDED` between autokey and
manual keying. The fact that this flag was shared between the two
systems has been the cause of issues in the past. It wouldn't
let you insert a keyframe even though you explicitly used an operator
to do so.
In order to be clearer what options are used where, the user preferences
have been reordered.
By default "Only Insert Needed" will be enabled for auto-keying, but not for manual keying.
The versioning code will enable both if it was enabled previously.
# Code side changes
The keying system has flags that define the behavior
when keys are inserted. Some of those flags were shared
between keying and auto-keying. Some were only used for
auto-keying.
To clarify that, prefix flags that used exclusively in one or the other
system with `AUTOKEY`/`MANUALKEY`
Also the flag name on the user preferences and the tool settings was renamed.
Previously it was called `autokey_flag`. To indicated that it is not only used
for autokeying, rename it `keying_flag`.

This will be used for Opacity/Tint/Color modifiers which change color
attributes of grease pencil objects. The category is not shown for other
object types.
Exceptions:
* Links to personal wiki pages
* Pages that are not in the new developer docs yet (like Human Interface Guidelines)
* tools\check_wiki\check_wiki_file_structure.py needs a refactor
It is very common for graphical editors with layers to support
locking individual layers to protect them from accidental edits due
to misclicks. Blender itself already supports locking vertex groups.
This adds lock toggles for shape keys, with lock/unlock all operators.
The flags are checked by sculpt brushes, edit mode transform tools,
and Smooth, Propagate and Blend From Shape operators. This selection
aims to cover operations that only deform the mesh, where the shape
key selection matters.
Topology changing operations always apply to all keys, and thus
incorrect shape key selection is less impactful. Excluding them
from the new feature greatly reduces the patch size.

This made it seem as if it wasn't possible to load from saved
preferences when running Blender with '--factory-startup'.
This isn't a perfect solution as loading the saved
preferences doesn't clear `bpy.app.factory_startup`.
Even so, it's better not to gray out a menu item which is functional.
The FPS menu was using a cached value which wasn't being refreshed
when translation changed.
Add `bpy.app.handlers.translation_update_post` handler which runs
when translation changes, this can be used to clear any cached UI
values.

Opacity modifier implementation based on GP2.
Functionality is largely unchanged.
_Color Mode_ is either `Stroke` or `Fill` for modifying color opacity or
`Hardness`.
_Uniform Opacity_ does two things at once (!):
- Sets the same opacity value for every point in a stroke.
- Sets opacity as an absolute value rather than a factor.
_Weight as Factor_ (button to the right of Opacity Factor): Use the
vertex group as opacity __factor__ rather than an overall __influence__.
This is confusing and hard to convey, but copies behavior from GP2.
The _Influence_ panel contains the same filter settings as the GP2
modifier, with some small changes:
- _Layer_ selects only strokes in the respective layer (with an _Invert_
option)
- _Material_ selects only points with the respective material (with an
_Invert_ option)
- _Layer Pass_ and _Material Pass_ select only strokes/points which are
rendered in the respective pass.
_Note 1: Layers don't have UI for setting a pass yet, this will be a
generic layer attribute. This can be set through the API for testing._
_Note 2: In GP2 a pass value of zero was used to disable pass filters.
Since zero is a valid pass ID an explicit flag has been added for the
purpose of turning pass filters on and off._
- _Vertex Group_: This can be used as an additional influence filter on
points. If _Weight as Factor_ is enable the vertex group instead
replaces the opacity factor. In _Fill_ mode the vertex group weight of
the stroke's first point is used as influence for the entire stroke.
- _Custom Curve_ is another possible influence factor per point. The
curve input value is the relative position of a point along its
stroke.
The Influence settings have been moved into a separate DNA struct, which
should help with reusability in various modifiers. Various utility
functions can be found int `MOD_grease_pencil_util.hh` for handling
influence settings and generating `IndexMasks` for modernized C++ code.

In 13fac109 the node panels got support for individual option button
callbacks, but these were not included in the node editor side bar.
Only the older top-level buttons are drawn there.
The panel structure is currently not accessible in python since it is
part of the `NodeDeclaration` system. To draw node input sockets and
buttons in the correct panel order as they appear on the node, a new
template function `uiTemplateNodeInputs` has been added. This iterates
over declared panels and their contents in the appropriate order and
draws the buttons before sockets in the same panel.

The viscosity panel was confusing for users because viscosity
is defined by the base and exponent properties in the Diffusion panel.
What this setting actually does is use a special solver algorithm that is designed for high viscosity liquids.
See 635694c0ff for details.
The below changes are designed to better represent this to the user.
- Move the "Viscosity" Panel to a sub panel of "Diffusion"
- Rename "Viscosity" to "High Viscosity Solver" to better represent what this property does
- Update `use_viscosity` tooltip to better explain that this uses a different solver algorithm.
