Removes many of the operators, panels, and menus used exclusively by Grease Pencil v2 that are no longer needed in v3.
No functional changes are expected.
Some operators are still used by the annotations system and have to be kept around. These may be renamed in future.

This adds an operator that splits all slots of the action on the active object,
into separate actions.
The newly created actions will be named `slot_name+Action`.
All users of those slots will be reassigned to this new action.
The exploded action will not be deleted, but will end up with 0 users
unless a fake user is set.
------
For the review, does that operator name make sense?

This adds an operator that moves slots of slot channels selected in
the channel box to a new action.
All slots are moved together into that new action instead of
moving them into separate actions.
I think that's more reasonable because that way the "move slots into separate actions" is
still possible by selecting the slots one by one.
The "explode action" operator that does just that can be a separate operator.
The new action is named after the slot for the case when only one slot is moved.
When multiple slots are moved, the name "CombinedAction" is used.
This also adds a menu entry "Action" to the action editor.

Anim: Show Action Slot type in panel + change type icon RNA wrapper name
This PR combines two changes, both necessary to properly show the
Action Slot ID type in the GUI:
1. Expose the slot's ID type as an RNA enum property `id_root`, in the
same way that the DNA `Action::idtype` is exposed as
`Action.id_root` in RNA. The only differences are that this
property is read-only on slots (it is supposed to be correct, and
if it's not, I'd prefer a bug report over people working around
this), and that the default value is named differently (`ANY` on
Actions, `UNSPECIFIED` on Slots). The latter is done to clarify
that this is not a situation that will last for long; as soon as
the slot is assigned to any ID, it will be locked to that ID type.
2. Rename the RNA property `ActionSlot.idtype_icon` to
`ActionSlot.id_root_icon` to be consistent with the above.
And of course the type is drawn in the Slot properties panel in the
Action editor. This now replaces the icon in the slot name (in the
same panel), so that it's clearer that that is the slot name, and not
an object/material/whatevertype name.
When an NLA strip is in tweak mode, the Action editor no longer allows
switching the assigned slot. This is now consistent with it also not
allowing switching of the Action.
The slot used by the NLA strip can be changed in the NLA strip
properties panel of the NLA editor, in the same way that the Action
itself can be changed there.
The new Action selector (51fd355c01) avoids the need to use
`space_data.action` in the dope sheet (that attribute was a bit of a
hack; the new Action selector was made to avoid that). It failed to take
the dope sheet's shape key mode into account properly, though. This is
now fixed.

Add two new operators, `anim.slot_new_for_id` and
`anim.slot_unassign_from_id`. These are used in the Action editor and
the Animation panels in the Properties editor, to respectively create a
new Action Slot for an ID and to unassign whatever slot is currently
assigned to that ID.
The latter operator also replaces the C++ operator
`anim.slot_unassign_object`, which was specifically made for the
Dopesheet header. The Python ones are generic enough to be used there
too.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/126943
Add new operator `anim.slot_new_for_object`, which creates a new action
slot for the active object. Since this slot is created on the action
used by the object, it requires that this action exists and is a
layered/slotted action (which by definition includes empty actions).
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/126934
Hide the Action Slot selector in the Action editor behind the experimental
flag. Not only shouldn't it be shown, but also it uses an API that's only
available in experimental builds.
Add an Action Slot selector to the Action editor's header, next to the
Action selector. The selector shows all slots in the action that are
suitable for animating objects (as the Action editor itself is limited
to showing the Action of the active object).
This also considerably simplifies the 'Animation Debug' panel, as some
debugging code has been removed, as well as the display of any animation
layers. The latter can be reintroduced (if necessary) when multi-layer
animation support is added. Most importantly, it removes the
WindowManager property that was used as a hack to assign layered Actions
to objects.
API change: the RNA property `AnimData.slot` is now a pointer property
that reflects the actual slot (it used to be an enum property).
Some small changes to the UI code were necessary to make the selector
show the slot's display name (and not their internal name).

Add the concept of 'active slot' within an Action. This allows
clicking on a slot in the Action editor, to select it and mark it as
'active'.
Note that this does _not_ add support for action slots in
`ANIM_set_active_channel()`, as that function doesn't get enough info
to do that, and refactoring it is not on my wishlist.
RNA property `action.slots.active` can be used to access and set the
active slot in Python. `slot.active` can be used to query the slot's
active state, and is read-only (so that there is one way to set the
active slot).
A panel in the Action editor shows info about the active slot. This
panel is just a minimal UI that shows the name and an icon
representing the idtype of the active slot.

Rename 'Binding' to 'Slot'. The old term was causing all kind of
confusion, and 'slot' was considered to be a better term for the
intended functionality.
This commit breaks existing blend files that were using the new layered
Action for their animation. The animation data will be lost due to the
rename, as there is no versioning code or DNA renaming logic. At this
time the new system is still marked as experimental, so shouldn't be
used for anything serious anyway.

In the Action mode of the Dope Sheet, show the Bindings, optionally
showing all Bindings in that Action. This also works when different
data-block types are animated from the same Action.
Bindings are selectable in the Action editor with box/range select.
Since there is no use for an 'active Binding' yet, this has not been
implemented, and as a result, clicking on a Binding does nothing.
Note on 'Binding' vs 'Slot': this code change was created before the
decision to change the name from 'Bindings' to 'Slots'. To avoid
confusion, and to keep this PR in sync with the code changes, it still
uses the term 'binding'. Renames of 'Binding' to 'Slot' in the code will
happen after this PR lands.

- Do not translate a label containing the name of the active NLA
action.
- Translate default action name when created by inserting a keyframe.
- Translate "<NoAction>" and other default NLA strip names.
- Translate "<NoAction>" displayed in the UI when no action exists in
the NLA.
- Translate the temporary meta-strip created when moving an NLA strip
around. This uses DATA_() for consistency, even though it is not
really user data.

Add a new operator 'Frame Scene Range' to the Dope Sheet, Graph Editor,
NLA, and VSE 'view' menus. It is added both to the regular menu and the
pie menu (by default on the ` hotkey).
The operator will only change the horizontal view, to show the scene
range or the preview range, depending on whether the preview range is
active or not.
The label of the operator switches between "Frame Scene Range" and
"Frame Preview Range" to indicate what will happen.
For the VSE this operator is quite similar to the 'Frame All', as that
by default also frames the scene range. There are a few notable
differences though:
- Frame All includes any strip that extends beyond the scene end frame.
- Frame All ignores the preview range.

Reorganizes (and in some cases add missing operators to) all 'Select'
menus in all editors except 3D Viewport (done in a separate patch).
The goal of this change is to make menus as consistent as possible, and
to group & sort items according to a certain logic, which should be easy to
remember and users can always expect certain items to be always at same
place in every editor.

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.

The context menu for the channels is shared
between all animation editors.
Changed "Dope Sheet Channel" label to "Channel"
for consistent channel label in all animation editors.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/115845
The issue was that the code filtered for selected channels,
while the expectation was that it would only filter for selected keys.
This PR changes the behavior of the operator in the following way:
* when "Clean Channels" is **disabled**, it will clean only selected keyframes, regardless of the channel selection
* when "Clean Channels" is **enabled**, it will clean selected channels regardless of keyframe selection
The same logic was applied to the Graph Editor code.
It only makes a difference in the case when "Clean Channels" is enabled.
That is because channels were automatically selected when a key was selected.
In addition to that I moved the menu entry for "Clean Channels" to the channel menu
to reduce confusion.
Another solution would have been to make the Dope Sheet select channels
when keys are selected. This might still be done in the future, but I think the
only correct fix is to change the actual operator behavior.

Noticed GRAPH_MT_channel_context_menu is unused (since
DOPESHEET_MT_channel_context_menu is used in both Dopesheet & Graph/
Drivers Editor).
This patch removes GRAPH_MT_channel_context_menu but adds the entries
which were in that menu (but not in DOPESHEET_MT_channel_context_menu)
back to the later.
Namely:
- Hide Selected Curves
- Hide Unselected Curves
- Reveal Curves
- (Delete Invalid Drivers -- if in Drivers Editor)

After Renaming "Bake Curve" to "Samples to Keys" in #111049,
the name of the `ACTION_OT_sample` operator needed renaming.
That is because the word "sample" is now used to describe FCurve
data in an uneditable state.
Rename to `ACTION_OT_bake_keys` since baking is the
term used in animation to describe the action of creating dense key data.

Moving the snapping code for the
* Graph Editor
* Action Editor
* and NLA editor
into the common system that lives on the scene.
This includes the Magnet icon for turning
snapping on and off.
The old settings translate to the new in the following way:
* `Frame Step` -> `Frame`
* `Second Step` -> `Second`
* `Nearest Frame` -> `Frame` + `Absolute Time Snap`
* `Nearest Second` -> `Second` + `Absolute Time Snap`
* `Nearest Marker` -> `Nearest Marker`
Since this moves the location of the snapping settings
from the editor to the scene, it changes the behavior.
Previously each editor could have different snapping
settings, where now they are all synced.

Specifying the correct operator context (`INVOKE_REGION_CHANNELS` in
this case) is mandatory, otherwise looking up the shortcut in
`wm_keymap_item_find_props` will fetch the wrong region
(`RGN_TYPE_WINDOW` not `RGN_TYPE_CHANNELS`) and thus wont find the keymap
item in that region keymap.
This was already done for the other menus, not for the context menu
though.

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.
