When quiting Blender the timeline doesn't get updated and an assert is
triggered that the order isn't correct. The order isn't that important
anymore as the mechanism has been tested. The assert was useful during
initial development.
This PR removes the assert as it isn't valid in all cases.
This changes the engine identifier back to `BLENDER_EEVEE`.
We keep the `BLENDER_EEVEE_NEXT` identifier around for
versioning reasons (have to detect when it is the active
engine of a older file).
This also rename a bunch of pannels that were using `next`
in their name.
This is a breaking change for Addons compatibility.

How to reproduce:
1. Create a new blend file without a compositing node tree
3. Go to Scripting workspace (node editors should not be visible)
2. In python console type
`bpy.ops.node.new_compositing_node_group`
3. Observe crash
The reason is that `node_composit_poll_rlayers()` fails because the
Render Layers node cannot be added to a non local compositing node
tree. This restriction was removed so the poll should succeed.

This is due to missing `make_available` callback for Group ID socket.
Use it to change the mode of the merge layer node so that socket is
available in `connect_available_socket()`

This patch removes node init functions that currently exist only for
forward compatibility and moves the logic to the forward compatibility
section of node writing. This is to avoid allocating unused data
throughout the 5.x series.

We wouldn't clear the cache we disabled leading to end users needing to
trigger cache refreshes to eventually clear out the cache that they
disabled.
This also fixes a minor issue where the prefetch would try to prefetch
even if there were no caches enabled.
Sometimes we could get into scenarios where the prefetch would stop and
restart endlessly. Now we only stop the prefetch job when we don't want
to continue to prefetch anymore. Before we would exit when there is
currently no more prefetch work to do.
Before this change prefetching would not work correctly with only RAW
caches. The RAW caches wouldn't previously be emptied either if
switching them off while prefetching was turned on.
Now the prefetch will start prefetching from the start frame if it hits
the end frame and still have cache space to spare. This improves
playback when playing loops. It also makes it possible for end users to
define an area to pre-fetch by setting the preview range.
When dropping files onto the player window the animation the player
would restart, freeing everything except for the GHOST_System.
This caused a memory leak in the case of an error, returning without
freeing the system.
Resolve by freeing the system along with everything else.
As panels narrow to extremes the various parts overlap oddly. this PR
improves this by fading out icons as their available space becomes too
narrow to fit. Other items stop displaying under limits.

This PR adds snapping to the sizes of various Sidebars, showing only
the category tabs. While in this state you can click a tab to expand
out that panel, click again to hide it.

The 2D->2D, 3D->3D, 4D->4D hash functions used in Voronoi node were
using quite an expensive hash function. Switch these to dedicated
2D/3D/4D hash functions (pcg2d, pcg3d, pcg4d) -- these are still very
good quality, but the hash function itself is 3x-4x faster.
Which makes Voronoi node calculation overall be around 2x faster. In
some cases when using OSL, the speedup is even larger.
This visibly changes output of the Voronoi noise however. The actual
noise "behaves" the same, just if someone was depending on the noise
pattern being exactly like it was before, this will change the pattern.
Images, more performance results and details wrt OSL are in the PR.

Move panel header, panel background, and sub-panel background color
settings to be global, under `User Interface`, like other widgets.
Remove per-editor panel styling. This way users can edit the panel
colors once, and affect all panels.

It is possible for a mesh to change topology across frames but still be
detected as not needing a topology update.
Until we can make a finer-grained check against the before and after
topology, unconditionally ensure it's updated for now.
Adds a new test that checks a few frames of changing topology that is
similar, but not the same.

Make sidebar tabs use the `wcol_tab` widget colors, instead per editor
settings. Simplifying theme tweaking and the following benefits:
* Set colors in one place, affect all tabs.
* Support for text colors for inactive and active tabs.
* Support for the new `Outline Selected` property.
* In the future sidebar tabs could support `Shaded` style.
The tabs region background color remains per-editor, to be able to
customize it in a way that fits the surrounding colors (sidebar region,
header, or navigation bar background).

The curve interpolation operator write uninitialized data to vertex
attributes if there is more than one interpolated curve pair.
This is because _partial writes_ to `VArraySpan` wrappers only work
if the original VArray is already a span or if the wrapper span is
fully initialized with the original data beforehand.
In the case of the curve interpolation tool for Grease Pencil the
interpolation is invoked for each curve pair separately, creating a
new output attribute `VArraySpan` wrapper each time. This wrapper
is only filled for the curve pair in question and writes uninitialized
data to all the other curves' vertex weight attributes.
To prevent this from happening the simple solution is to use
`lookup_or_add_for_write_span` which initializes the entire span.
This causes quite a lot of unnecessary copying, but that is acceptable
for the Grease Pencil interpolation tool. The alternative is to change
the tool so that the destination GSpanAttributeWriter is only created
once, but that is a much bigger change.

This assert added by 321ec72c74 notes that changing the mesh
wrapper type from subdivision to normal mesh data just discards the
potentially-subdivided geometry and doesn't make sense, and possibly
breaks other assumptions.
This wrapper type change was done years ago by 0f89bcdbeb to
fix issues with shared object data during evaluation. It noted that
the mesh drawing data extraction didn't handle BMesh wrappers correctly
when the object isn't in edit mode, but that doesn't seem to be the
case after two trivial changes. The other bugs mentioned by that commit
are still solved after this change.

Currently every node tool operation removes all shape keys. This PR
temporarily convert shape keys to attributes for the node group
execution, instead of removing them afterwards.
Fixes#113662.

`AssetHandle` was a hacky design solution that was never meant to be
permanent. `AssetRepresentation` is a better designed type superseding
it. A lot of work was put into relying less and less on `AssetHandle`,
now it's finally unused.
Final step for #108806.
The `AssetRepresentation` should now be available directly in context
where previously the `AssetHandle` type was required.
By adding an `"asset"` context member to the file browser, this should
avoid any behavior change. (Previously we would get the asset from
context by constructing a asset handle from the "active_file" context
member. So make sure "asset" is available wherever "active_file" is.)
This is another important step towards removing `AssetHandle`, see
blender/blender#108806.
