Remove the box select tool from the timeline to simplify selection
logic, avoid confusion for users, and make maintaining the code
easier in the future. It also brings the selection system closer
to other industry-standard NLEs.
It also fixes an issue caused by d2091b4b1.

Implements scrolling support for tree-views, as well as changing the size of the
scroll-able tree-view. This is important to be able to place them in many places
in the UI, where a compact layout is preferred over an every expanding one
(causing following contents to be scrolled out of view). UI-lists would use
scrolling and resizing to ensure this, now tree-views are on par.
Enables scrolling and resizing for:
- Bone collection UI (`UILayout.template_bone_collection_tree()`)
- Grease Pencil layer UI (`UILayout.template_grease_pencil_layer_tree()`)
- Light link collection UI (`UILayout.template_light_linking_collection()`)
- UI to define a node tree interface (`UILayout.template_node_tree_interface()`)
These are all cases where compact UIs make more sense than expanding ones.
Internally this is enabled by calling the `set_default_rows()` method of the
tree-view, although the API might change still. It shouldn't be quite simple to
implement this for grid-views too if necessary, or other potential view types.
Although I'd like to do some smaller code quality improvements still, this
feature is important for some other modules (e.g. grease pencil module for the
layers UI in grease pencil v3), so I decided to prioritize merging this.

Supporting selection operators and overlays in sculpt mode is necessary
to support masking operations.
This enables selection drawing in the overlay in sculpt mode,
and ensures all the necessary operators (pick, lasso, circle, box)
handle the differences in modes correctly.
The selection code so far was expecting object mode, so the `vc->obedit`
object was used without further checks. Now the selection code can be
called outside of edit mode, in which case the `vc->obact` object must
be used instead. Similarly edit mode and sculpt mode have separate
`selectmode` flags, so the correct mode property must be used from the
tool settings depending on the object mode. These changes require some
refactoring of unrelated selection code.

This is a variation of the modal "Interpolate" operator, where a series
of keyframes is generated according in stead of a single keyframe.
The behavior should be the same as the GPv2 operator.

This rename the `Cutter` tool's name, code and icon to `Trim`.
The legacy Grease Pencil code is unchanged.
This was discussed in the 2024-07-30 Grease Pencil Module Meeting.
Reasons for the change:
- Match the `Trim Stroke Ends` setting on brushes.
- Match the `stroke_trim` operator.
- Name is more clear and more commonly used.
- Frees the name for a future boolean cutting tool.

Adds the ability to connect and disconnect strips in the VSE.
- Connected strips have an icon indicating their status, and attempting
to select one connected strip selects all other connected strips in
that chain.
- If the user attempts to connect a strip that is already connected to
other strips, that strip will disconnect itself from others before
connecting to new strips.
- Preview selection also works in bulk if multiple video strips are
connected together in the timeline.
- When adding new strips from the Add menu or the File Browser, strips
from the same file are connected by default. There's an option to
turn this off in Editing > Video Sequencer user preferences.
- It is possible to individually tweak strips/handles and ignore
connections with Alt+Click.
- This shortcut overrides the old keymap item for "Linked Handle"
selection. The property still exists if people want to use that
shortcut for its old purpose.
- To make sure that connections remain valid even after duplication,
I've added a condition to `seq_new_fix_links_recursive` that also
updates connections using the `seq->tmp` var. (A note -- I've updated
the comment for this field in `DNA_sequence_types.h` because the var
is only used for duplication now. It was once present in
`select_more_less_seq__internal` to be used for linked selection but
is gone now).
- There are also functions to cut one-way links and make sure that
all strips are bidirectionally connected after duplicating.

Support segment mode in Grease Pencil v3 selection operators.
This is a continuation of #109221.
Segment selection works in multiple stages:
1. When enabled, the 2D evaluated lines for all visible curves are
entered into a BVH tree. This tree is used to find intersections later
on. All the visible drawings are in the tree, an `OffsetIndices` array
is used to record ranges of BVH elements for each drawing.
2. Primary selection functions get alternative versions that produce an
`IndexMask` instead of writing directly to selection attributes. This
makes it possible to detect select actions on points that are already
selected. Using a delta of selection attributes for this is not enough
to detect such user actions (and inefficient).
3. In segment mode the `IndexMask` is extended to fully cover segment
points (or exclude them when deselecting respectively). This first
performs and intersection test using the BVH tree, then finds all point
range with selected elements.
4. Finally the extended index mask is applied to selection attributes as
usual.

Originally, the polyline gesture tools were intended to have the gesture
submit on clicking on the starting point and pressing enter only. It was
brought up that the knife tool which has similar behavior also exposes
this on double clicking. To better align expected behavior across tools,
this commit adds similar functionality for the polyline tools.

This removes the legacy Grease Pencil modifiers from the code.
These should have already been inaccessible from the UI and hidden from
the user. The modifiers have been reimplemented for the new GPv3
data structure.
On top of the modifier code, some other related things have been
removed as well:
* Operators related to the legacy modifiers.
* Keymaps for the legacy modifier operators.
* Some bits of code that used modifier functions.
Some code has to be kept, because it is still used:
* The core line art code, which is used by the new line art modifier. It's
moved to `modifiers/lineart`.
* The DNA structs for the legacy modifiers. They are still needed for
conversion.
* A few kernel functions for the modifiers are kept (also for conversion).

The (GPv2) fill tool has an "extension" mode to assist with filling
small gaps where strokes don't fully meet.
- Overlay: Draws various helpers during modal fill tool operation, using
the same functions as the render-to-image used for applying the fill
tool.
- Extension lines: Scrolling or page up/down extends the tips of strokes
and draws extra boundary lines to limit filling.
- Extension circles: Press S to toggle the mode. This draws circles
around stroke tips.
- Stroke overlay: This can be enabled in the brush settings
(_Advanced > Visual Aids_) to draw strokes in a simple color on top of
the viewport.
- Extension line collision: Tests for intersections of extension lines
with other lines and with strokes, and cuts them short. Enable in
brush settings (_Advanced > Strokes Collision_).
- Better defaults for extension increments: The values are in Blender
units, and quite arbitrary. Using lower values makes it feel more like
GPv2 in the 2D animation template.
- Draw functions in the `ed::greasepencil::image_render` namespace now
consistently expect coordinates in view space (avoids confusion and
works better for 2D elements).
- Some internal renaming and cleanup (many variable names come from GPv2
and were not very clear).

This is the main merge commit of the brush assets project. The previous
commits did some preparing changes, more tweaks are in the following commits.
Also, a lot of the more general work was already merged into the main branch
over the last two years.
With the new design, quite some things can be removed/replaced:
- There's a unified "Brush" tool now, brush based tools and all special
handling is removed.
- Old tool and brush icons are unsed now, and their initialization code
removed here. That means they draw as blank now, and the icon files can be
removed in a follow up.
- Creation of default brushes is unnecessary since brushes are now bundled in
the Essentials asset library. Icons/previews are handled as standard asset
previews.
- Grease pencil eraser options are replaced by a general default eraser brush
that can be set by the user.
More changes are planned still, see task list issue below.

The functionality of the Bone Selection Sets add-on is now integrated
into Blender itself. Rigify has been updated to no longer check for the
add-on, but just assume that the functionality is available.
The keymap is still the same, and so are all the class names. This
ensures that there are no conflicts when people still have the old
add-on enabled somehow. And there is versioning code to remove the
'add-on enabled' state so that Blender won't complain it cannot find it
any more.
Compared to the add-on, the following changes are made:
- The 'bone' icon has been removed from the list of available selection
sets. It was the same for each entry anyway, and thus didn't provide
any information.
- The code has been split up into multiple files, with the UI elements
in `scripts/startup/bl_ui/properties_data_armature.py` and the
operators in `scripts/startup/bl_operators/bone_selection_sets.py`.
- Helper functions and classes are prefixed with `_` to indicate that
they are not part of any public API.
- The `Operator` helper subclasses have been transformed to mix-in
classes. This way the only subclasses of `Operator` are the actual
operators.
- Comments & descriptions have been updated for clarity & consistency.

Delete operator was shared for strips and retiming keys, which was not
ideal. Operator logic relied on invoke function setting proper context
which was also hidden from users.
Split these operators and make dedicated operators for removing retiming
keys - `SEQUENCER_OT_retiming_key_delete`.
This operator returns `OPERATOR_CANCELLED | OPERATOR_PASS_THROUGH` if
executed in non-retiming context, or no key is selected.

This was introduced with b7c570c854.
For the draw tools, we no longer use the unified paint settings.
This means that we can't use the `_template_paint_radial_control` anymore.
The fix explicitly sets up the shortcut to use the `brush.size` and `brush.strength`
for the `radial_control` operator.
This commit changes how users can interact with handles:
Unselected handles are not drawn anymore by default. Handles are bit
thinner. If handle can't be selected, because strip is too small,
it is not drawn.
When hovering over strip handle a cursor is changed to represent a
handle shape. It is possible to select 2 handles at once if strips are
adjoined.
When tweak event happens on unselected handle, handle selection is lost
ater tweaking.
This behavior can be disabled in preferences:
Editing > Video Sequencer > Tweak Handles.
Moving strips with G key works same way as before.

This PR adds a new operator: `PAINT_OT_visibility_edit` to support
iteratively expanding or shrinking the visibility of a mesh, similar to
the *Grow / Shrink Mask* actions and the *Grow / Shrink Face Set*
options. This operator is exposed via two new entries in the *Sculpt*
toolbar entry as *Show More* and *Show Less* and have also been
assigned to Page Up and Page Down in the default Blender keybinds for
Sculpt Mode.
### Technical Details
Each of the PBVH types is solved slightly differently, though the
general principle for each is as follows:
1. Make a copy of the current mesh visibility state
2. Iterate over elements (faces & corners if available, otherwise
vertices) to look at adjacency information
3. Apply appropriate visibility change to vertices
4. Sync face visibility
### Limitations
* Currently, like all other operators in the `paint_hide.cc` file. This
new operator is limited to Sculpt mode only.

As Node Wrangler add-on is moving to extensions platform and maybe isn't shipped
with Blender from 4.2 onwards, some of it's more important functionalities which are
crucial for Blender UX can be ported inside core. Also see #121749.
This PR ports "Preview Node" operator from add-on inside `scripts/startup/bl_operators`.
When Shift-Ctrl (or Shift-Alt) clicked on the node operator connects output socket of the
node to active Output node in the tree (group, material, light, or world output). For Geometry
Nodes this is just handy operator, but in Shader Nodes, because Viewer Node isn't
implemented, this has always been the only way to quickly preview nodes by connecting
it to Material Output.
Changes made from Node Wrangler version:
- Renamed operator from "Preview Node" to "**Connect to Output**", because node previews
already mean a different thing in context of compositor and shader editor, and viewer node
is used for previewing in geometry nodes. Connect to Output is correct name because in every
context it's called that's what it does.
- Assigned shortcut Shift-Alt-Click in shader editor as well. Even though Shift-Ctrl click already
works, it's good to have consistency with geometry nodes, so that users can use same shortcut
in both contexts.
Operator doesn't work in compositor. It's not clear if that's wanted (to connect to Composite node),
and if it is it'll be added in separate PR.

The operator has a modal keymap with a toggle for inverted mode. This
