Removes unused GPv2 functions in blenkernel.
Notes:
- Functions for layer masks are still in use, but annotations never
have layer masks in the first place. Would be good to remove the data
structures so we can remove the functions too.
- Some multi-frame edit functions are also still nominally used, but
multi-frame editing is not an active feature for annotations. This
should also be removed.

This is due to wrong `is_pad` is passed as argument. It should be false
for gizmo tooltips. For menus when fields size is zero i.e. no
element is appended yet, the python message will be at the top of
tooltip region.

This renames the mode identifiers to be consistent with e.g. the context mode identifiers and other names used for the new Grease Pencil.
For `object.mode`:
* `PAINT_GPENCIL` -> `PAINT_GREASE_PENCIL`
* `SCULPT_GPENCIL` -> `SCULPT_GREASE_PENCIL`
* `VERTEX_GPENCIL` -> `VERTEX_GREASE_PENCIL`
* `WEIGHT_GPENCIL` -> `WEIGHT_GREASE_PENCIL`
For the internal `ob->mode` flag:
* `OB_MODE_PAINT_GPENCIL_LEGACY` -> `OB_MODE_PAINT_GREASE_PENCIL`
* `OB_MODE_SCULPT_GPENCIL_LEGACY` -> `OB_MODE_SCULPT_GREASE_PENCIL`
* `OB_MODE_VERTEX_GPENCIL_LEGACY` -> `OB_MODE_VERTEX_GREASE_PENCIL`
* `OB_MODE_WEIGHT_GPENCIL_LEGACY` -> `OB_MODE_WEIGHT_GREASE_PENCIL`
Resolves#127374.

Layer panel (also mask/ transform etc.) and other operators are gone
when properties tab is pinned and gpv3 object is non-active.
To fix this, get grease pencil pointer from `button_context()`

Implements scrolling support for tree-views, as well as changing the size of the
scroll-able tree-view. This is important to be able to place them in many places
in the UI, where a compact layout is preferred over an every expanding one
(causing following contents to be scrolled out of view). UI-lists would use
scrolling and resizing to ensure this, now tree-views are on par.
Enables scrolling and resizing for:
- Bone collection UI (`UILayout.template_bone_collection_tree()`)
- Grease Pencil layer UI (`UILayout.template_grease_pencil_layer_tree()`)
- Light link collection UI (`UILayout.template_light_linking_collection()`)
- UI to define a node tree interface (`UILayout.template_node_tree_interface()`)
These are all cases where compact UIs make more sense than expanding ones.
Internally this is enabled by calling the `set_default_rows()` method of the
tree-view, although the API might change still. It shouldn't be quite simple to
implement this for grid-views too if necessary, or other potential view types.
Although I'd like to do some smaller code quality improvements still, this
feature is important for some other modules (e.g. grease pencil module for the
layers UI in grease pencil v3), so I decided to prioritize merging this.

Generally increases padding of preview widgets a bit (while keeping the
preview size the same), and increases the size of the highlight surface
a bit. The default grease pencil brushes from the essentials asset
library use an opaque background, so the highlight was barely visible
before. It was difficult to identify the active brush from that. Now
it's a lot easier to identify visually.

While we continue to improve our tooltips, this PR appends a period to

circumstances as in earlier code, removed in #125460.

This adds an eyedropper button to properties where you can choose a bone.
Clicking it activates the modal operation and you can pick:
* Bones from the Outliner
* Bones from the 3D Viewport if the Armature is in Pose Mode or Edit Mode
## Limitation
Picking from the 3D viewport while in Object Mode doesn't work due to technical reasons.
The selection buffer is only filled with pose bones if the armature is in pose mode.
Using the picker while in object mode gives you the Armature object, not its bones.
So you cannot use the bone picker to constrain an object to a bone.
UNLESS you pin the panel with the object, go to pose mode and then pick.
There is a warning printed for those cases to tell the user why this hasn't worked.

Refactoring of the color picker popup. This simplifies code, removes
cruft, and adds new features. The Hex input is removed from its own

just a bit smaller. "#" added to the hex values.

This adds a new type of zone to Geometry Nodes that allows executing some nodes
for each element in a geometry.
## Features
* The `Selection` input allows iterating over a subset of elements on the set
domain.
* Fields passed into the input node are available as single values inside of the
zone.
* The input geometry can be split up into separate (completely independent)
geometries for each element (on all domains except face corner).
* New attributes can be created on the input geometry by outputting a single
value from each iteration.
* New geometries can be generated in each iteration.
* All of these geometries are joined to form the final output.
* Attributes from the input geometry are propagated to the output
geometries.
## Evaluation
The evaluation strategy is similar to the one used for repeat zones. Namely, it
dynamically builds a `lazy_function::Graph` once it knows how many iterations
are necessary. It contains a separate node for each iteration. The inputs for
each iteration are hardcoded into the graph. The outputs of each iteration a
passed to a separate lazy-function that reduces all the values down to the final
outputs. This final output can have a huge number of inputs and that is not
ideal for multi-threading yet, but that can still be improved in the future.
## Performance
There is a non-neglilible amount of overhead for each iteration. The overhead is
way larger than the per-element overhead when just doing field evaluation.
Therefore, normal field evaluation should be preferred when possible. That can
partially still be optimized if there is only some number crunching going on in
the zone but that optimization is not implemented yet.
However, processing many small geometries (e.g. each hair of a character
separately) will likely **always be slower** than working on fewer larger
geoemtries. The additional flexibility you get by processing each element
separately comes at the cost that Blender can't optimize the operation as well.
For node groups that need to handle lots of geometry elements, we recommend
trying to design the node setup so that iteration over tiny sub-geometries is
not required.
An opposite point is true as well though. It can be faster to process more
medium sized geometries in parallel than fewer very large geometries because of
more multi-threading opportunities. The exact threshold between tiny, medium and
large geometries depends on a lot of factors though.
Overall, this initial version of the new zone does not implement all
optimization opportunities yet, but the points mentioned above will still hold
true later.

We already have the `description` property on panels but are currently not
displaying it when hovering over a panel header. With this patch, the
descriptions will be shown in group nodes as well as the geometry nodes
modifier.
I had to do two lower level changes for layout panels because it didn't work
with tooltips properly.
* Tooltips make the label in the panel header interactive, but clicking to
open/close the panel should still work.
* The tooltip should disappear when clicking on the header. This is consistent
with tooltips in other places.

This commit adds low-level logic in BKE to support three behaviors in
case of name conflict when renaming an ID:
1. Always tweak new name of the renamed ID (never modify the other ID
name).
2. Always set requested name in renamed ID, modifying as needed the
other ID name.
3. Only modify the other ID name if it shares the same root name with the
current renamed ID's name.
It also adds quite some changes to IDTemplate, Outliner code, and
RNA-defined UILayout code, and the lower-level UI button API, to allow
for the new behavior defined in the design (i.e. option three from above list).
When renaming from the UI either 'fails' (falls back to adjusted name) or forces
renaming another ID, an INFO report is displayed.
This commit also fixes several issues in existing code, especially
regarding undo handling in rename operations (which could lead to saving
the wrong name in undo step, and/or over-generating undo steps).
API wise, the bahavior when directly assigning a name to the `ID.name`
property remains unchanged (option one from the list above). But a new
API call `ID.rename` has been added, which offers all three behaviors.
Unittests were added to cover the new implemented behaviors (both at
BKE level, and the RNA/Py API).
This commit implements #119139 design.

The function would return two very different layouts in different code
paths, making it not clear to the caller what to expect. For one code
path the return value was rather useless, and in fact unused, so I was
able to just remove this. Also clarified behavior and return values in
the function API comment.
Since 5bcb0c9935, `uiLayout.template_ID()` already supports passing a label, in
which case the `uiLayout.use_property_split` would be respected. This makes the
template fit nicely with the surrounding layout, where buttons might have a
label split on the left, and a decorator button on the right.
This change brings the same to `uiLayout.template_search()`, plus makes it
respect `uiLayout.use_property_decorate`

The single characters "\" could not be used for filtering

Although "\\" could be used to match "\".
Disable escape character behavior as this mostly makes sense for
