This adds the ability to customize the default width of a group node that's
created for a node group. This feature works towards the goal of unifying the
features available to built-in nodes and node groups. We often customize the
width of built-in nodes from them to looks slightly better (e.g. to avoid
cut-off labels).

This patch introduces a new experimental option for the new CPU
compositor under development. This is to make development easier such
that it happens directly in main, but the compositor is not expected to
work and will probably crash.

This issue occurred only on Mac which has to circumvent
geometry shaders lacking support for them.
This patch reverts the vertex shader for Mac devices to
how it was before f9ea64b0ba. (and uses the frag shader from before that commit)
In order to communicate that to the user I added a label
in the GUI when the platform is Mac.

Add a toggle for Fast GI Approximation in the header of the panel,
following Cycles layout.
Move the `Max Roughness` setting inside the panel, and rename to
Threshold.
Since Fast GI Approximation only has any effect when Threshold/
Max Roughness is below the max (1.0), gray out the rest of the
panel when at that value.

When deleting files on WIN32, open files cannot be removed.
This is especially a problem for compiled Python modules which
remain open once imported.
Previously it was not as common for add-ons to include compiled Python
modules however with extensions supporting Python-wheels,
it's increasingly likely users run into this.
Workaround the problem by:
- Scheduling the files for removal next time Blender starts.
- Rename paths that cannot be removed to avoid collisions when
the paths is reused (re-installing for example).
This is supported for:
- Extensions.
- Python wheels.
- Legacy user add-ons.
- App-templates.
Details:
- On startup, a file exists that indicates cleanup is needed.
In the common case the file doesn't exist.
Otherwise module paths are scanned for files to remove.
- Since errors resolving paths to remove could result in user data loss,
ensure the paths are always within the (extension/addon/app-template)
directory.
- File locking isn't used, if multiple Blender instances start at the
same time and try to remove the same files, this won't cause errors.
Even so, remove the checking file immediately avoid unnecessary
file-system access overhead for other Blender instances.
Also resolves#125049.
Resolve error when overwriting existing Python modules would attempt
to recursively remove a symlink which raised an error.
Related to #123827, same error but for extensions.
Modifiers in the VSE have mask properties first, then modifier-specific
settings. This breaks consistency with other modifiers for objects
and Grease Pencil.
Move Mask properties to the bottom, after a separator, and group them
in a column for better alignment.

Update `draw_material_settings` to show EEVEE Next properties.
This only changes the internal function, instead of the Panel classes

This type of projection is often used e.g. in exhibitions that leverage big
curved screens.
Effectively, the frame is mapped onto a cylinder, with the x axis becoming the
longitude and y axis becoming the height.
Users can configure the min/max longitude, the min/max height and the radius of
the cylinder.

This removes the terminal periods automatically added to the end of
tooltip items. The current desire is to only end in period if there
are multiple sentences - so if there is one in the middle of the
description. This also converts our uses of lists to use space and
bullet, rather than just bullet or asterisks.

Missed after 'Set Snap Base' commit.
Just like in 3D View, UV editing can also benefit from selecting
multiple snap target elements.
The C++ code was already done, it was only necessary to edit the
interface.

Hide the Action Slot selector in the Action editor behind the experimental
flag. Not only shouldn't it be shown, but also it uses an API that's only
available in experimental builds.
This gives users the ability to control the size of tooltip text
separately from other text styles. This is an accessibility issue
in that users with low vision can choose to make these larger than
the working text.

Convert an image to grease pencil strokes by tracing features.

Add an Action Slot selector to the Action editor's header, next to the
Action selector. The selector shows all slots in the action that are
suitable for animating objects (as the Action editor itself is limited
to showing the Action of the active object).
This also considerably simplifies the 'Animation Debug' panel, as some
debugging code has been removed, as well as the display of any animation
layers. The latter can be reintroduced (if necessary) when multi-layer
animation support is added. Most importantly, it removes the
WindowManager property that was used as a hack to assign layered Actions
to objects.
API change: the RNA property `AnimData.slot` is now a pointer property
that reflects the actual slot (it used to be an enum property).
Some small changes to the UI code were necessary to make the selector
show the slot's display name (and not their internal name).

Replace the "play" emoji ▶ with a hyphen as separator in attribute
lists (Attributes and Color Attributes panel).
The hyphen uses less space while at the same time adding negative
space around domain/datatype making it easier to scan through the list.

Core extensions should have their bugs reported as any other issue in
Blender.
This PR removes their "Rrport a Bug" link.
I left the link only for glTF since it has its own tracker. But I
wouldn't mind removing it as well.
Ref: !125218
This adds two new nodes:
* `Grease Pencil to Curves`: Converts each grease pencil layer into an instance
that contains curves.
* `Curves to Grease Pencil`: Converts top-level curve instances into grease
pencil layers.
This opens up many new opportunities:
* Use grease pencil as input to other procedural systems that don't necessarily
output grease pencil.
* Generate grease pencil from scratch using geometry nodes.
* Temporarily convert grease pencil data to curves to use more powerful features
for curves processing.
Some data on layers are not attributes yet unfortunately, so there is some
special case handling for the `opacity` attribute. This was previously discussed
at the geometry nodes workshop:

This PR removes the "Widget Label" text style, found in Preferences /
Themes / Text Style. This results in both labels and the text found in
input boxes sharing settings. This results in a slight loss of
customization but it isn't that useful to have these things separate
and results in code complication and errors.

The filter for grease pencil objects wasn't showing up.
The code was still checking for the legacy type.
Now, we're checking for the right object type and
are also looking at the `bpy.data.grease_pencils_v3`
list to make the checkbox show up in the UI.

With !122709, many Sculpt tools were changed to remove the visual brush
radius displayed by the brush cursor to avoid confusing users. This had
the unintended side effect of forcing these tools to use the default
arrow cursor.
This commit adds the PAINT_CROSS cursor back to various Sculpt Mode
tools to remain consistent within the overall mode.

- Fixes incorrect handling of incompatible engines. There is a global list of compatible
engines, but `create_cycles_material` didn't use it, displaying an incorrect warning
when using the operator.
- Add `BLENDER_EEVEE_NEXT` to compatible engines.
- Remove `BLENDER_EEVEE` from compatible engines.
- Add render method option. This replaces the material `blend_method`
- Remove material blend method option (replaced by `render_method`)
- Remove material shadow option. Not needed anymore as shadows use
the node tree for evaluation.
**TODO**
- Manual should still be updated. Will be done after this patch lands.
- I did some basic tests. I am not familiar with this operator, but think it
should handle all the different cases. Would be nice to have some
render tests for this to detect regressions.
