Previously, it was possible to search for specific math operations in
link-drag-search but not in the normal add menu. This patch adds support for
searching for specific operations in various math nodes.
A good trick for adding e.g. a vector add node is to search for `vadd`
(similarly with `iadd`).
The menu itself looks unchanged. This patch only adds additional elements to the
search.

It always was functionality which got committed without proper review
by the module or UI/UX team. It has all sort of UX problems, but it is
also something that will be tricky to support for HDR drawing.
To brings things to a more manageable state the functionality is now
removed.
With `MESH_OT` prefix, the shortcut was added to wrong
keymap ("object mode", see: `WM_keymap_guess_opname`).
idname of following operations has been changed, they are
only exposed in sculpt mode UI (also see their poll function:
`geometry_extract_poll`):
- `face_set_extract`
- `paint_mask_extract`
- `paint_mask_slice`

Added a new operator `OBJECT_OT_material_slot_remove_all`
that removes all materials from the material slots of selected objects
This was inspired by a request proposal on RCS.

This feature allows you to change postion of origin/pivot for images
without changing their position.
It is implemented as property of transform operator. It is activated
by pressing `Ctrl + .` shortcut.
Move Origin item was also added to transform menu.
Origin can be snapped to 3x3 grid on strip image. This represents
most usual anchor points.

Previously sync-select in edge-select mode behaved in much the same
way as vertex selection, since a selected edge could cause a vertex
on an a disconnected UV island to be selected.
Now single vertices are no longer considered selected when the
Sticky-Mode is set to "Location" (the default).
Notes on changes when sync-select is enabled:
- The main change from a user perspective is edge & face select modes
show the selected edges.
- This resolves a problem in edge & face selection modes where it wasn't
possible to differentiate between a selected edge and two selected
vertices on either side of an unselected edge.
This adds an Import VDB node. It loads all the grids from a .vdb file and hence
outputs a Volume geometry instead of an individual grid.
The grids are cached through the existing volume grid file cache, so they are
automatically deduplicated when volume grids are loaded from files in other
ways.

This adds inital Grease Pencil support for node tools.
Node tools work in `Object Mode`, `Edit Mode`,`Sculpt Mode`,
and `Draw Mode`.
While Grease Pencil has many editing tools, including editing
multiple frames at the same time, for now, node tools only
allow editing the current frame.
Currently, the idea is that node tools can do arbitrary changes
to the drawings, but cannot do changes to the existing layer tree, e.g.
changing the order of layers, removing a layer or groups, etc.
All the node tool specific nodes like `Selection` and `Set Selection`
are adapted to work with Grease Pencil. In `Draw Mode`, we currently
interpret everything as selected.
The `Active Element` node has a `Layer` mode that provides the
index of the active layer (if there is one).
When `Auto-Key` is used, a new keyframe is created on the
current frame.
Locked/invisible layers cannot be edited with node tools.

Exposes bézier handle data through a new `GreasePencilStrokePointHandle`
class on each point, which provides `position`, `type`, and `select` for both
`point.handle_left` and `point.handle_right`.
Also removes the old separate point attributes:
* `handle_left_type`, `handle_right_type`
* `select_handle_left`, `select_handle_right`

Relative imports are intentionally avoided in UI code (`scripts/startup/bl_ui`) because it makes it impossible to run individual files in isolation.
Common workflow for making mock-ups and quick UI edits is to load the UI file in Blender's text editor with "Edit Source" operator, make changes, and run the script to see the changes. But in the current version it's impossible because files include relative imports, which don't allow Python to run scripts individually.

Behavior of select all operator invoked by shortcut was inconsistent
with menu. This was, because operator context was not set.
Also the selection in timeline is cleared when running this operator
as not doing it may cause unexpected behavior for users.
Selection invert also follows the same behavior.

When creating a new action slot for a data-block, via the '+ New' button
of the slot selector, use the name of the slot that was last used by
that data-block. Previously, it would always use the name of the
data-block, interfering with slot auto-selection when toggling between
Actions.

I'm not sure when this stopped working. The function in question is
quite confusing since it's called twice with two different purposes.
Fixing the exception is simple though. Just checking the data type
for "None" prevents changing the data type to one that's invalid given
the context. I didn't find a simple way to add an error message though.

New option to export Viexport Material instead of Node tree:
- Very Fast
- Custom Properties of the material can still be exported
Is exported:
- Base Color
- Roughness
- Metallic
Allow assign/select operators to execute when armature tab is pinned.
For assign operators, pinned armature should be active in 3D view
because we cannot assign bones of one armature to the bone collection of
different armature. Added extra condition in poll function to control
the above case.
For select operators, use `ED_armature_context` to obtain pinned Armature.
These operators are now hidden in object modes.

This PR adds an option to only show the onion skins of the active
object. The option is added to the Grease Pencil overlay menu in the
3D viewport.
When enabled, only the onion skins of the active object are shown.
This keeps the viewport a lot cleaner when working with multiple
Grease Pencil objects.
This resolves#136820.

Part of #135062.
This PR adds an Auto Normalize option in the Vertex Group panel that
when checked will normalize the other deform-bone vertex groups' weights
when assigning the weight of a deform-bone vertex group. For example if
a selected vertex has the following weights:
| Name | Weight |
|---------|--------|
| Group 1 | 0.2 |
| Group 2 | 0.2 |
| Group 3 | 0.6 |
And the user selects Group 3, checks the Auto Normalize checkbox, sets
the weight to 0.8, and clicks Assign, the new weights will be:
| Name | Weight |
|---------|--------|
| Group 1 | 0.1 |
| Group 2 | 0.1 |
| Group 3 | 0.8 |

When a keymap operator is not found, color the label and input field
in red. This can help identify issues when migrating preferences and
some operators no longer exist.

Ref: #132179
Renames:
- `Editing.act_seq` -> `Editing.act_strip`
- `SequenceModifierData` -> `StripModifierData`
- Its member `mask_sequence` is now `mask_strip`.
- `MetaStack.parseq` -> `MetaStack.parent_strip`
- Remaining function names/parameters that were not dealt with in #132748
- Various references to `seq` or `sequence` throughout code and docs when
referring to a strip
Also moves `_get` to the end of the renamed function names where
applicable for standardization (unless "by" or "from" are used).
There should be no changes to current behavior.

This operator is very similar to the existing "Join as Shapes" operator,
which updates or adds shape key array values with the positions of
objects with the same name, but instead of creating new shape keys,
it just updates existing ones. The new operator is called "Update from
Objects" in the UI.
Internally, some logic was moved to a poll function shared between the
two operators, and a new argument for whether to ensure keys exist was
added to their shared implementation.
Part of #135095.

Previously UV sync-select in face mode would isolate UV selection
so dragging a face would disconnect it from adjacent faces.
Now the sticky mode is respected for face selection.
This is needed for #136817 so storing per-selection doesn't result
in a user visible change in behavior.
