Having a centeral place to find a list of all library overrides should be
useful for managing production scenes where library overrides are used a lot.
This change adds the individually overridden properties of a data-block under
the data-block itself. Just how we show modifiers, constraints or pose channels
there. This way we can also expose library override operations/options better
in future.
There's also a filter option for the library overrides now, so they can be
hidden. It is only available in the View Layer display mode though, like the
other filter options.
One internal change this has to do is adding more informative return values to
undo pushes and the library override functions called by it. That way we can
send a notifier when library overrides change for the Outliner to know when to
rebuild the tree.

Mainly updated the Mantaflow version. It includes the new viscosity solver plugin based on the method from 'Accurate Viscous Free Surfaces for Buckling, Coiling, and Rotating Liquids' (Batty & Bridson).
In the UI, this update adds a new 'Viscosity' section to the fluid modifier UI (liquid domains only). For now, there is a single 'strength' value to control the viscosity of liquids.
This adds a popover to the properties editor. Currently the only setting
is for controlling outliner to properties syncing.
Because we cannot define a perfect heuristic to determine when
properties editors should change tabs based on outliner icon selection,

editor.
There are 3 options for controlling the syncing. Auto uses the heuristic
to only allow tab switching when a properties editor and outliner share
a border. On and off enable and disable syncing respectively.

This bug was caused by making it so that non-embossed modifier icon
buttons could become an operator button and retain their red highlight
for disabled modifiers. The icon button needs emboss turned off, but
in earlier versions of Blender, `UI_EMBOSS_NONE` would be overridden
by animation or red alert states.
Instead of abusing "NONE" to mean "none unless there is animation or
red alert", this commit adds a new emboss flag for that situation,
`UI_EMBOSS_NONE_OR_STATUS`, which uses no emboss unless there is an
animation state, or another status. There are only a few situations
where this is necessary, so the change isn't too big.

The previous design is rather old and has a couple of problems:
* Scalability: The current solution of adding little icon buttons next to the
data-block name field doesn't scale well. It only works if there's a small
number of operations. We need to be able to place more items there for better
data-block management. Especially with the introduction of library overrides.
* Discoverability: It's not obvious what some of the icons do. They appear and
disappear, but it's not obvious why some are available at times and others
not.
* Unclear Status: Currently their library status (linked, indirectly linked,
broken link, library override) isn't really clear.
* Unusual behavior: Some of the icon buttons allow Shift or Ctrl clicking to
invoke alternative behaviors. This is not a usual pattern in Blender.
This patch does the following changes:
* Adds a menu to the right of the name button to access all kinds of operations
(create, delete, unlink, user management, library overrides, etc).
* Make good use of the "disabled hint" for tooltips, to explain why buttons are
disabled. The UI team wants to establish this as a good practise.
* Use superimposed icons for duplicate and unlink, rather than extra buttons
(uses less space, looks less distracting and is a nice + consistent design
language).
* Remove fake user and user count button, they are available from the menu now.
* Support tooltips for superimposed icons (committed mouse hover feedback to
master already).
* Slightly increase size of the name button - it was already a bit small
before, and the move from real buttons to superimposed icons reduces usable
space for the name itself.
* More clearly differentiate between duplicate and creating a new data-block.
The latter is only available in the menu.
* Display library status icon on the left (linked, missing library, overridden,
asset)
* Disables "Make Single User" button - in review we weren't sure if there are
good use-cases for it, so better to see if we can remove it.
Note that I do expect some aspects of this design to change still. I think some
changes are problematic, but others disagreed. I will open a feedback thread on
devtalk to see what others think.

Since "Float Color" is more commonly used than "Byte Color",

drop the "Float" label on the color data type name.
This uses the "id" attribute to randomly pick instances from a collection
for each point.
There is one issue. When the collection is updated (e.g. when an object is
added to it), the nodes modifier is not automatically updated. It seems
like we don't have the infrastructure to support this dependency yet.
The same issue exists in the Boolean modifier and with collision collections.
This should be solved separately soonish.
When "Whole Collection" is disabled, one direct child of the input collection
is instanced at each point. A direct child can be an object or a collection.
Currently, all objects are picked approximately equally often. In the future,
we will provide more control over which point gets which instance.

This patch introduces a partial update of GPUTexture. When rendering
a large image the GPUTexture could have been scaled. The old implementation
would rescale the image on CPU and create a new GPUTexture. This
resulted in flooding the PCI bus.
The new solution would only scale and upload the parts of the GPUTexture
that has been changed. It does this by keeping track of areas of 256x256
pixels. When something changes the tiles that cover that changes will be
rescaled and uploaded the next time the GPUTexture is requested.

Since creating the attribute node, a helper function has been added to
automatically get the input attribute or a constant value, depending on
the "input type" values for the node. This commit replaces the specific
implementation of that behavior with the new helper function.
The versioning is necessary since the node now has a "storage" struct.
This patch adds two related nodes, a node for separating points
and mesh vertices based on a boolean attribute input, and a node
for creating boolean attributes with comparisons.
See the differential for an example file and video.
Point Separate (T83059)
The output in both geometries is just point data, contained in the mesh
and point cloud components, depending which components had data in the
input geometry. Any points with the mask attribute set to true will be
moved from the first geometry output to the second. This means that
for meshes, all edge and face data will be removed. Any point domain
attributes are moved to the correct output geometry as well.
Attribute Compare (T83057)
The attribute compare does the "Equal" and "Not Equal" operations by
comparing vectors and colors based on their distance from each other.
For other operations, the comparison is between the lengths of the
vector inputs. In general, the highest complexity data type is used
for the operation, and a new function to determine that is added.

This tool implements smearing for multires displacement over the limit
surface, similar to how smearing for colors and topology slide works.
When used the displacement values of the vertices "slide" over the
topology, creating the effect of smearing the surface detail.
As the brush just modifies displacement values instead of coordinates,
the total displacement of the affected area doesn't change. This means
that this smearing effect can be used multiple times over the same area
without generating any artifacts in the topology.
When the brush is used with the pinch or expand smear modes,
displacement differences are pushed into the same area, creating hard
surface effects without pinching the topology.
As any other brush that relies on the limit surface (like displacement
erasers), this will work better after using apply base.

* Header with an asset library dropdown, allowing to choose the active asset
library to show. Options are the "Current File" as asset library and all
custom libraries.
* Display popover, filter popover and search box (partially dummies, see
T82680).
* Sidebar showing the metadata of the currently active file (name, preview,
description and tags), which can be edited for assets in the "Current File"
asset library. (For others it will reset on reload.)
* The sidebar includes a button to load a custom preview image from a file.
* Make asset files draggable (with preview image).
* If a library with invalid path is selected, a message is drawn in the main
region to help the user understand what's wrong.
* Operators to add and remove asset tags. Exposed in the sidebar.
* "Only Assets" option for Link/Append.
* Internal utilities for asset UI scripts.

One of the core design aspects of the Asset Browser is that users can "mount"
custom asset libraries via the Preferences. Currently an asset library is just
a directory with one or more .blend files in it. We could easily support a
single .blend file as asset library as well (rather than a directory). It's
just disabled currently.
Note that in earlier designs, asset libraries were called repositories.
Idea is simple: In Preferences > File Paths, you can create custom libraries,
by setting a name and selecting a path. The name is ensured to be unique. If
the name or path are empty, the Asset Browser will not show it in the list of
available asset libraries.
The library path is not checked for validity, the Asset Browser will allow
selecting invalid libraries, but show a message instead of the file list, to
help the user understand what's going on.
Of course the actual Asset Browser UI is not part of this commit, it's in one

Asset metadata is what turns a regular data-block into an asset. It is a small

type `AssetMetaData`. This data **must not** have dependencies on other
data-blocks or data-block data, it must be an independent unit. That way we can
read asset-metadata from .blends without reading anything else from the file.
The Asset Browser will use this metadata (together with the data-block name,
preview and file path) to represent assets in the file list.
