Similar to how brush assets are created and managed this
PR allows to export pose assets into a different library.
Because of this there is a limitation to this where each
asset is stored in a separate blend file.
This may be lifted in the future as there are planned changes in
the design phase: #122061
### Create Asset
Now available in the 3D viewport in the "Pose" menu: "Create Pose Asset".
The button in the Dope Sheet will now call this new operator as well.
Clicking either of those will open a popup in which you can:
* Choose the name of the asset, which library and catalog it goes into.
* Clicking "Create" will create a pose asset on disk in the given library.
It is possible to create files into an outside library or add it in the current file.
The latter option does a lot less since it basically just creates the
action and tags it as an asset.
If no Asset Shelf **AND** no Asset Browser is visible anywhere in Blender,
the Asset Shelf will be shown on the 3D viewport from which
the operator was called.
### Adjust Pose Asset
Right clicking a pose asset that has been created in the way described
before will have options to overwrite it.
Only the active object will be considered for updating a pose asset
Available Options (the latter 3 under the "Modify Pose Asset" submenu):
* Adjust Pose Asset: From the selected bones, update ONLY channels that
are also present in the asset. This is the default.
* Replace: Will completely replace the data in the Pose Asset from
the current selection
* Add: Adds the current selection to the Pose Asset. Any already existing
channels have their values updated
* Remove: Remove selected bones from the pose asset
Currently this refreshes the thumbnail. In the case of custom
thumbnails it might not be something want
### Deleting an existing Pose Asset
Right click on a Pose Asset and hit "Delete Pose Asset". Works in the shelf
and in the asset library. Doing so will pop up a confirmation dialog,
if confirming, the asset is gone forever. Deleting a local asset is basically the
same as clearing the asset. This is a bit confusing because you get
two options that basically do the same thing sometimes,
but "Delete" works in other cases as well.
I currently don't see a way around that.

Rename `ActionKeyframeStrip.channels()` to `.channelbag()`, and change
its first parameter from `slot_handle` to `slot`.
This is to be consistent with `ActionKeyframeStrip.channelbags`, which is
the array of channelbags in the keyframe strip. Having a function that's
singluar makes sense for finding a single element in the array.
The change from using the slot handle to using the slot is to be consistent
with `.channelbags.new(slot)`. Furthermore, the Python API should be using
slot handles as little as possible (they're basically meaningless numbers).
Using the slots directly is preferred. If that's not possible, it is
recommended to use the slot identifier (`slot.identifier`) instead, as that
can be used to look up the slot (`action.slots[slot_identifier]`).
This breaks the glTF add-on, which will be fixed in !133915.

Use string formatting instead of the `+` operator, so that it doesn't
matter which exact type is used for the `rig_id` custom property.
Also reshuffle the code a bit to reduce indentation.

As we are exporting Collection only, it makes sense that the collection customs props
can be exported as glTF Scene extras, as the scene includes only objects from the collection
When developing and testing add-ons it can be useful to get to the
folder containing such add-on.
When Developer Extras is enabled, show a folder icon next to the
extension's path to quickly open it using the system file browser.
Also display it in the list of duplicate add-ons, if any, so user can
access them more conveniently.

Waiting a proper solution for props declaration:
- Filter now happen even if the list is not displayed
- Avoid spaming console with error, display a label saying what to do
Before, any sampled properties that are not keyed was exported with LINEAR interpolation
Now, user can choose the interpolation for these not keyed values (LINEAR or CONSTANT/STEP)
Example of not keyed properties: Deformation bones when animators animated other bones
The name `id_root` was not descriptive, and was just a hold-over from the
equivalent (now deprecated) property on the Action itself. `target_id_type`
is more clear, reflecting that this is the type of ID the Slot is intended
to animate.
This PR also renames the corresponding `id_root_icon` to
`target_id_type_icon`.
Note that this PR updates the GLTF import/export core addon to adhere to
these name changes as well.

After using the Fix to Camera operator, restore the transform matrices
of the fixed-to-camera objects/bones. This is necessary as the
autokeying options (like 'Only Available') may limit the keys that are
set, and thus going to the original scene frame may not be enough to
restore the full transform.
This operator was duplicating feature that already exists in core
Blender (`node.join`), and was not working great as well. So there is
no need to maintain this python operator, but to keep consistency for
users I kept the keymap and UI entry but assigned it to `node.join`
operator instead, so that users don't notice change.
I assigned keymap inside add-on and not in Blender core because people
who didn't use Node Wrangler have that key free, or have something else
assigned (and `node.join` is already mapped to Ctrl+J), so only Node
Wrangler users should have this keymap. We can change it and rename
built-in operator to Parent, instead of Join, and remap it to Shift+P,
but that's separate discussion.
Resolves#129404.

- At import => Create some multi-slot action if multiple node are impacted by the glTF animation
- At export =>
- Multi-slot actions are exported as a single glTF animation by default
- There is still an option to get back to previous feature, merging by track name instead of by action
KHR_animation_pointer is not part of this PR.
animation pointer data are still exported only when using full baking (NLA track or scene export mode).
Using animation pointer related slots for other mode will come in a second step, not planned yet (and will not be part of 4.4)
Some hooks definition changed, and some hook locations changed because of this new behavior.
Communication for hook devs still need to be done
PR: #132771
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/132771
"End" in "Clip End" can be better translated to something like "Far"
in some languages. Using the "Camera" context even when it's not
specifically a camera clipping (also affects light probes).
Issue reported by Gorazd-Gorup.
Enums in Blender evaluate to a string, so trying to add them to a pose
failed with an error because FCurves only accept numbers.
The fix is to modify the data path and split the property name off.
By evaluating that we arrive at the bone, from which we can call `get(property_name)`
to get the int value.

The logic to generalize over downloading a URL or reading data from
the file-system included static values in the iterator along with the
data being read - so the caller could access the total expected size of
the data being read. While this worked, the result didn't read well.
Now these iterators yield the data being read, a new type has been
added for the caller to read the size hint from.
Also correct invalid doc-string.
Accessing the internal extensions command would warn that the processes
stdout wasn't closed on completion. While it's harmless at the moment,
ensure it's closed using a context manager.
This has come up a couple of times and it seems better to change the
implementation from blender/blender-addons@f1dd37b8ac [which only
exported edge creases when a subd modifier with enabled `Use Creases`
option was present] in a way that these are always exported (if present).
Also took the liberty to rename the variable name for the layer to
correspond to "crease".
Thx @mont29 for handholding on this one!
