The `blender-v4.0-release` branch would not build because some parts of grease pencil v3 were still exposed when experimental features are disabled.
This is hiding the relevant parts behind `#ifdef WITH_GREASE_PENCIL_V3` to make sure they are only built when the experimental features is enabled.

After changing tools (and possibly other context), the buttons section
background drawing would be broken for one redraw, so the full region
would be drawn with a background, rather than just behind the button
boundaries.
Code has special handling so that only the first of two split regions
needs to be flagged as hidden. If the second one is also flagged that
can have some unwanted side-effects. Code to add the region resizing
edges relied on the region visibility flags though, rather than the
visibility check that respects this handling of split region hiding. So
code would run that is only intended for un-hidden regions.
Search menu (F3) displays character which was pressed to open a context
specific search. This also breaks the old behavior of showing last searched
operator in text field, instead shows the pressed character.
To fix this, first store the `g_search_text/but->poin` string in
temp_buffer (before pressed key char is copied to `g_search_text`).
Later, restore the g_search_text after invoking the search menu.

Makes use of the new buttons sections feature used by the asset shelf to
draw a background behind buttons, but the reset of the region fully
transparent. The UI team agreed on this as a way to minimize dead space,
but also as a better way to communicate our click through feature (where
dead space in overlapping regions forwards events to the underlying
region). The region background theme setting only affects the
non-transparent part of the region, the rest is always fully
transparent. With region overlap disabled, the bar is fully opaque still.
Also see #112241.
Only the pose library enables the asset shelf by default, but Blender
doesn't come with pose assets, they have to be created by the user. So
when entering pose mode with factory settings, the asset shelf will
currently be just a big empty bar. Plus, pose mode is used for posing
without pose assets quite a lot. So hide the asset shelf by default. The
pose library already shows a toggle to hide/unhide it where the previous
pose library UI was for discoverability.
The node drawing function currently uses a stack-based traversal of
interface items. This is hard to read and for this purpose a recursive
function is easier to understand.

Adds a menu to choose the asset library to use to the asset shelf
catalogs selector popover. This is consistent with the asset browser.
After talking to animators and some artists, this is likely something
they would want to have, since they don't always want all their assets
and catalogs to populate the asset shelf. It's also necessary for the
pose library UI to provide the same features roughly than the old one
(in the sidebar, before the asset shelf was introduced).
This is necessary to let popovers redraw when asynchronously loading
data. For example to display assets or asset catalogs as they get
loaded. Needed for the asset shelf catalog selector popover. Menus
already do the same to allow populating the menu with assets as they get
loaded.
Previously, it was only possible to inspect the data from the first iteration. That
applied to both, the viewer node as well as socket inspection. Now, there is a
new `Inspection Index` setting in the zone properties. It specifies which iteration
should be used by the inspection features.
In theory we could support features like counting the index from the end, but
that can be done separately as well, as it likely requires more UI.

This PR adds vertex groups to `CurvesGeometry` as well as an attribute read/write accessor.
This is also in preparation for GPv3. Since the goal is to have full compatibility with the current grease pencil features, vertex groups need to be supported.
Grease Pencil allows filtering by vertex group for modifiers.To support this, it also makes sense to have read/write access for vertex groups in the attributes API.
In the future, vertex groups should be just another custom attribute on meshes/curves/grease pencil. There are some more issues to be solved before that can happen. This step gets us a bit closer since the vertex weight data is stored in `CustomData`.

Currently if there is no selection mode enabled the operator is disabled and greyed
out in the menu. The shortcut doesn't do anything, which can be unexpected and jarring.
With this PR the operator will work when no selection mode is enabled and in that case
fill the entire mesh using the Weight from the active tool.
This is then consistent with vertex paint mode and the "Set Vertex Color" operator.
So now remove the overly-strict `mask_paint_poll` poll (and replace with
more appropriate `weight_paint_mode_poll`).
NOTE: `mask_paint_poll` is now unused, could be removed

Currently retiming is quite awkward, when you need to retime multiple
strips strips in sync. It is possible to use meta strips, but this is
still not great. This is resolved by implementing selection.
General changes:
Gizmos are removed, since they are designed to operate only on active
strip and don't support selection.
Transform operator code is implemented for retiming data, which allows
more sophisticated manipulation.
Instead of drawing marker-like symbols, keyframes are drawn to
represent retiming data. Retiming handles are now called keys. To have
consistent names, DNA structures have been renamed.
Retiming data is drawn on strip as overlay.
UI changes:
Retiming tool is removed. To edit retiming data, press Ctrl + R, select
a key and move it. When retiming is edited, retiming menu and
context menu shows more relevant features, like making transitions.
Strip and retiming key selection can not be combined. It is possible to
use box select operator to select keys, if any key is selected.
Otherwise strips are selected.
Adding retiming keys is possible with I shortcut or from menu.
Retiming keys are always drawn at strip left and right boundary. These
keys do not really exist until they are selected. This is to simplify
retiming of strips that are resized. These keys are called "fake keys"
in code.
API changes:
Functions, properties and types related to retiming handles are renamed
to retiming keys:
retiming_handle_add() -> retiming_key_add()
retiming_handle_move() -> retiming_key_move()
retiming_handle_remove() -> retiming_key_remove()
retiming_handles -> retiming_keys
RetimingHandle -> RetimingKey
Retiming editing "mode" is activated by setting `Sequence.show_retiming_keys`.

It seems like the cause for the crash was that the maps in
`AnonymousAttributeInferencingResult` use node indices as keys.
However, the order of nodes changes when changing node selection.
Generally, we don't want to trigger a more expensive update just
because we changed the selection, therefore things got out of sync
when building the lazy-function graph.
The solution here is not a full fix. Other things that cause a depsgraph
update but don't cause a tree-update could still cause the same kind
of crash. A better solution would be to address the root cause which
is that trivial operations like selection changes node order which is
used in many places. Also see `BKE_ntree_update_tag_node_reordered`.
Disabling depsgraph updates when changing the active simulation
or repeat item is correct as well though, and it solves this specific crash.
Shadow Map Ray Tracing is a technique that ray cast against the shadow
depth buffer. The technique is described in "Soft Shadows by
Ray Tracing Multilayer Transparent Shadow Maps".
Note that we only implement the single layer approach since storing
multiple depth is prohibitively expensive.

The builtin asset catalog paths weren't properly updated after more
nesting was added to the geometry nodes add menu. This commit
resolves that and a few other issues extending menus like nested
menus in mesh edit mode. Unfortunately this requires some boilerplate
code duplicating the menu structure currently.
Node tools are no longer required to be assets, and they aren't assets
by default anymore. Non-assets don't have catalogs for header menu
organization, so they are only exposed in the "Unassigned" menu, which
is now just an icon so it takes less spac, makes the connection to the
asset browser, and signals more that it's not the "final" place for a
tool. Tool node groups have fake user set by default, since they don't
have users. The "Is Tool" status of a node group is configurable in the
editor N-panel, just like the modifier status.
This is similar to af3461c387, and has the same check for
whether a node group is "local."
Any geometry node group with the "Is Modifier" tag is exposed in the add
modifier menu. Local node groups that aren't assets are displayed in a
subsection of the "Unassigned" menu, as they are "asset wannabees"
that function similarly but aren't shared to other files.
Only modifier node groups can be assigned to the geometry nodes
modifier. Because of this, existing node groups are versioned to have
the tag if they have a geometry output.
Internally, this means the operator that used to only handle node group
assets has to also add local geometry node groups. That change isn't
so large though. The other changes are just UI, or changes to the
node group property poll functions.
Note: For assets, saving the file to generate asset meta-data may be
necessary for the versioning to affect the add modifier menu.

The case when there were no material indices, multiple materials, and
the mesh used hiding wasn't handled after 55970fa367.
This is a simple parallel loop adding up the non-hidden triangles.
Previously, it was only possible to bake all simulations at once. This is great
for simple use-cases that, but in more complex setups one can have independent
simulations that should also be baked independently. This patch allows baking
individual simulation zones.
Furthermore, each simulation zone can now also have its own bake path and
simulation frame range. By default the simulation frame range is the scene frame
range, but it can also be customized on the scene or simulation zone level. The
bake path is generated based on the modifier bake path by default, but can be
set to another absolute or relative (to the .blend file) path.
The timeline drawing has been modified as well to be able to show more information
in the case when some simulations are baked and others are not. Instead of showing
a line for every simulation, it shows a condensed view of the important information
using at most two lines:
Is something baked? Is something valid or invalid? Also see #112232.

Hair and Curves need to call `DRW_curves_update` before
`geometry_steps_fill`, otherwise the copied geometry is just
uninitialized data.
However, doing so triggers an assertion:
> DRW_render_instance_buffer_finish had not been called before drawing.
This PR ports the `DRW_hair/curves_pos_buffer_get` functions to the new
`draw::Manager` API, so it can be called at any arbitrary point.
It also changes `VelocityModule::geometry_map` to use `uint64` keys
instead of `ID` pointers, since the same particle system can be used on
different objects and have multiple geometries.
Notes:
* The new functions are only used for
`VelocityModule::step_object_sync` on image renders. Using them
elsewhere would require modifying the old draw manager to do the
init/update/free setup.
* Only the compute shader version has been ported.

This changes the `action.frame_range` Python API to return an accurate
frame range for actions. Specifically, it was previously special-cased
to return a range with length 1 whenever the length was actually 0. This
led to a bizarre situation where a real frame range of `[0.0, 0.2]` would
return that range as-is, but a real frame range of `[0.0, 0.0]` would
instead return a range of `[0.0, 1.0]`.
The new behavior simply always returns the real frame range.
The reason for the previous behavior was obscure: the relevant code was
also used internally in Blender's NLA system, and returning a zero-length
range could result in NLA strips getting infinite scale. The code is now
separated out appropriately so that the NLA system still gets the
non-zero-length range, while the Python API for actions returns the real
range.

This PR fixes an issue with the NVIDIA 3000/4000 series cards. The cause
might be that when blending is turned off and the fragment output has an alpha
of 0.0 the fragment might be discarded. This is a guess of course.
By setting the Alpha to 1.0 for scopes and enabling alpha blending when
drawing the meta data text seems to fix the issue.

Draw the background of the asset shelf header fully transparent, with an opaque
background with rounded corners behind sections containing buttons. This
reduces the visual space consumed by the asset shelf, and makes the header
follow a tabbed folder metaphor better. Also, this works much better with our
click-through feature, where transparent parts of regions without buttons are
passed through the region under it (we might want to consider unifying code
here a bit).
The edge to drag for region resizing respects the transparent sections.
When there is little space between sections, the sections get merged so that
there are no small gaps in the bar.
Part of #107881.

Note that the core of this is implemented in a generic way, so this can be
reused for other regions.
