Updates the prebuilt libs to the versions used in 4.4
Also adds a check to ensure users are using at least the version of VS2022, that was used to compile the libraries

OpenCollada used to rely on PCRE (a Perl Regexp library). Since
switching to Aras' OpenCollada fork (#122270), the library is no
longer needed, but is still required as a dependency.
This patch cleans this up by completely removing it from our build
system and linux system package installation script. This also lets
us remove it from our pre-compiled library platform repos, making the
process of recompiling our libraries from scratch easier as it wasn't
compiled by our dependency builder anymore.

MSVC does this by default, and is a good way to see build progress
indication, when using msbuild. clang-cl also got that option back
in 2018, but it is off by default.

That version has a bunch of API changes, so by dropping support for older
versions we can remove old compatibility code.
Also, that version is required for OptiX support, so building a fully-featured
Cycles wasn't possible with older OSL anyways.

Support thumbnail that shows the file contents instead
of the default blend file icon for all files in Finder.
Some files may still have the usual blender icon as thumbnail
depending on their contents.
blender-thumbnailer process is kept alive by the system
in the background and is invoked by QuickLook when needed.
The checkbox to disable the extension is present in
the Settings app.
It will NOT be an interactive "Preview" that allows richer
interactions like Panning viewport, or rotating 3D objects.
- WITH_WINDOWS_EXTERNAL_MANIFEST is now required even for ninja
builds, this previously was not the case. so just apply it
across all build flavours on windows.
- fmsc-version=1922 is no longer needed, was required back when
support for clang on windows landed, is fine without it now.
- /MP gives better build performance when building from the IDE
makes no difference for a ninja build which wasn't struggling in
that department anyhow.
* Some libraries like Alembic and OpenColorIO for a long time removed
header dependencies on Boost.
* No need to have BOOST_LIBRARIES anymore, only BOOST_PYTHON_LIBRARIES
is a direct dependency through USD headers.
* OpenVDB is no longer a static library, no need to link its dependencies.

While I implemented pipewire support I forgot that some of the functions I use is not available in older pipewire versions.
This adds proper library version sanity checks for pipewire.

This caused build errors on the docs builder, I can't seem to reproduce
locally, so revert for now and have another look at some point in the
future.
Sadly as these changes usually go, this took 5c515e26bb and
2f0fc7fc9f with it as well.

Correction to [0] which looks to have missed
relocating some scripts.
Also revert Python 3.6 compatibility as it's not required for tools.
[0]: e83d87f588
The goal of this test is to try to import some critical py scripts with the
system python of the building machine.
The main target is to ensure that these py scripts remain usable by all
buildbot machines, as some of them are using fairly outdated python
versions.
Current status:
* Scripts in `build_files` and `docs` are checked.
* Some python scripts in `build_files` were 'reverted' to be compatible
with older required python version currently (3.6).
* A few scripts are excluded from the test, mostly because they use Blender's
`bpy` module, which means they are only intended to be ran with Blender's
python anyway.
* The test is only enabled for Linux buildbots currently, as they use the
oldest Python by far.
Notes:
* Some more scripts are likely to be moved around in the future.
* Whether these tests need to be enabled on windows or macos platforms remains
an open question.

Suppress unused warnings using the "vulture" utility.
- Include public definitions in the modules `__all__`.
- Mark arguments & variables as unused with a "_" prefix.
CMake 3.31+ have begun emitting warnings when you feed install()
paths that are not normalized (ie have, '.' or '..' in them) easiest
fix is just not use them.
This cleans up the windows sections of the build system, the other
platform devs will have to take a look on their respective platforms.
This implements the proposal from #124512. For that it contains the following
changes:
* Remove the global override of `new`/`delete` when `WITH_CXX_GUARDEDALLOC` was
enabled.
* Always use `MEM_CXX_CLASS_ALLOC_FUNCS` where it is currently used. This used
to be guarded by `WITH_CXX_GUARDEDALLOC` in some but not all cases. This means
that a few classes which didn't use our guarded allocator by default before,
are now using it.

A typo in `blender_test_set_envvars` cmake function made it impossible
for calling CMake code to specify custom environment variables.
Noticed that because trying to enable `WITH_UI_TESTS` option was
running my system Blender 4.0 instead of current build...
NOTE: This also revealed another issue (missing file in our Weston
library), will be fixed soon by Linux library maintainer.
