With the brush assets project, many paint tools are no longer specified
by tool. To maintain functionality, this commit inspects the brush type
instead of hardcoding against the paint tool to ensure that no matter
which tool is being used, the UI displays correctly based on the brush.

For now, PointerRNA is made non-trivial by giving explicit default
values to its members.
Besides of BPY python binding code, the change is relatively trivial.
The main change (besides the creation/deletion part) is the replacement
of `memset` by zero-initialized assignment (using `{}`).
makesrna required changes are quite small too.
The big piece of this PR is the refactor of the BPY RNA code.
It essentially brings back allocation and deletion of the BPy_StructRNA,
BPy_Pointer etc. python objects into 'cannonical process', using `__new__`,
and `__init__` callbacks (and there matching CAPI functions).
Existing code was doing very low-level manipulations to create these
data, which is not really easy to understand, and AFAICT incompatible
with handling C++ data that needs to be constructed and destructed.
Unfortunately, similar change in destruction code (using `__del__` and
matching `tp_finalize` CAPI callback) is not possible, because of technical
low-level implementation details in CPython (see [1] for details).
`std::optional` pointer management is used to encapsulate PointerRNA
data. This allows to keep control on _when_ actual RNA creation is done,
and to have a safe destruction in `tp_dealloc` callbacks.
Note that a critical change in Blender's Python API will be that classes
inherinting from `bpy_struct` etc. will now have to properly call the
base class `__new__` and/or `__init__`if they define them.
Implements #122431.

This operator deals specifically with add-ons, using the term extensions
is misleading as it works for legacy (non-extension) add-ons and
extensions can also be themes.
So far asset browsers always sorted assets by name, which resulted in
barely related assets being placed together, and related assets being
scattered. This can make navigating assets tedious, and introduces a lot
of visual noise because of scattered preview image styles.
Related assets are typically put into common asset catalogs, and related
catalogs are typically organized close to each other in the catalog
hierarchy. This makes catalogs a better characteristic to sort by,
solving the mentioned issues.
For asset shelves sorting by catalogs was introduced in 471378c666. This
PR exposes this feature to the asset browser, by introducing a new
option to sort either by name or by catalog. The new default is sorting
by catalog. Within a single catalog, assets are still sorted alphabetically.

All sculpt and paint modes should have the brush selector asset shelf
popup in the tool settings header. For curves sculpt mode this was
missing. There's no good reason for this, probably just an oversight.
Now can pick "H.265 / HEVC" in the video codec dropdown.
Implementation notes:
- Remap CRF value (which is for H.264) slightly to better match H.265
CRF range (e.g. default Medium 23 -> 28).
- Set lossless mode via appropriate private param, and use 4:4:4 YUV
format just like for some other video codecs when in lossless.
- Currently there are no built-in presets for H.265. Maybe later, especially
if/when we'll add 10 bit or HDR videos.

PR #128051 made some improvements to code by cleaning up properties and
simplifying logic.
However, the default tool in most spaces is box select. By switching to
box select default, there should be more front-facing consistency across
spaces while still retaining near-identical behavior.
This patch would fix the small bug listed in #128671 while keeping the
simplified code benefits from #128051.
Also:
- Move selection keymap items up in the Sequencer (Global) keymap so it
is more visible (similar to Node Editor ordering).
- Split `side_of_frame` property for ctrl press keymap item into a
separate keymap item on ctrl click for both LCS and RCS to avoid
clashing with ctrl+drag for box selects in RCS.

From feedback: "Update Asset" sounds more like receiving a new version
of the brush, while this actually saves the changed brush to the asset
library. "Save Changes to Asset" is more clear and fits well with the
labels of other menu items in the menu.

newline to separate sentences.
