The new extension system introduces tags, similar to categories from
legacy add-ons, and permissions. A hardcoded list is supported for
each, available in the docs:
- https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/advanced/extensions/tags.html
- https://developer.blender.org/docs/features/extensions/schema/
This change allows extraction of these new metadata to the translation
files.
In order to disambiguate the new messages, tags use the new "Script"
translation context. Permissions are lower case, so there is a low
risk of collision, and they use the default context.
While the tags are defined per-platform, with extensions.blender.org
being the only one available currently, they are extracted as a single
list.

This was only being used for a single debugging option,
additional developer reports are now used when enabling
the extensions debugging option (under experimental).
Run each update as a separate job, previously updates for each
repository was split into a separate job however that would only
use parallel connections with multiple online repositories which
isn't used by default. Currently the connection limit is hard-coded but
will be made into a preference.
The internal API call to refresh remote data wasn't returning
the resulting data, making it inconvenient to refresh & access
remote meta-data from a single repository.
- Fix an unhandled exception listing a repository with no remote data.
- Exclude dot-files from being listed when generating a repository.
- Fix missing import (in an unlikely corner case) when accessing
tags before the repository data was initialized.
- Fix refresh refreshing the remote not updating the
internal remote meta-data.
- Suppress warnings in tests caused by default repositories
(now removed before resting).
The issue was that when applying the keyingsets
`Whole Character` and `LocRotScale & Custom Properties` the
enum property of a rigify rig was not keyed.
The reason it was not keyed was just because
it was not specified in the compatible types in the keying set.
The fix is to just add `bpy.types.EnumProperty` to the list.

Extract
- Cycles denoiser enum.
- Extensions user preferences UI.
- Node operator poll message from new node function.
Improve
- Split "(Enabled|Disabled) on startup, overriding the preference."
into two messages.
Disambiguate
- "Add" when describing the action of adding something should use the
Operator context.
- "Dimensions", in noise textures.
- "Transform" as a noun, the matrix transform type of Geometry Nodes,
as opposed to the verb to move things in space.
- "Parent" as a noun or verb (the parent of an object, to parent an
object to another).
Some issues reported by Satoshi Yamasaki, deathblood, and Gabriel Gazzán.

* Drop the repository - let's combine tags in a single list (per type)
to avoid duplications in the future.
* Give a more sensitive name for tthe property, to avoid tags.tags.
Changes to the remote repository JSON format hadn't been properly
accounted for, a quick-fix was left in that converted the JSON
package listing into a dictionary as it was accessed (every redraw).
Update the behavior to perform the conversion when loading the data
from the JSON. This is also needed for multi platform & blender-version
support.
Prevent non-compliant data in remote repositories from causing errors
in Blender's interface.
Move from a dictionary to a named-tuple which uses normalized values.
These messages are part of enum items not directly used by their
EnumProperty, because they are returned by a function. They cannot be
accessed in RNA at all times, and need to be extracted manually.
The bl_info dictionary is deprecated for most extensions, but it is
still used for core add-ons and since Node Wrangler is now built-in,
it should be marked as official.
The reason for this change is actually that it enables translation of
the Node Wrangler UI, because add-ons below official support level
were never considered for translation.
-----
The reason only OFFICIAL add-ons are translated is that they are enabled [here](4f36fb1afe/scripts/modules/bl_i18n_utils/bl_extract_messages.py (L1052)) during message extraction.

The UI has changed and fast GI options was moved to the raytracing
panel in the UI. When this was done they were not added to the
raytracing presets what adds confusion when adding the presets.
This PR adds the fast GI options to the presets.

Previously these were shown as missing add-ons, since they have been
intentionally removed, remove them as part of versioning instead
of showing them as "Missing Add-ons". This is especially important
for X3D & STL which were enabled by default which meant any user
loading 4.1 preferences would have them shown as missing add-ons.
Local repositories no longer convert manifest files into a JSON file
(that matched the format of the remote repositories JSON data).
Instead the data is loaded directly from the manifest files.
This is necessary to support read-only "System" repositories.
Use a class to generalize loading from both data sources to simplify the
implementation which was previously inlined.
This fixes an error where stale data from the manifests was
sometimes used because the generated JSON was considered up to date.
- "Show the result of running commands in the main interface...": add
punctuation.
- "Re-Installed" -> "Reinstalled" seems more common.
- "increase_" and "decrease_subdivision" in the Grease Pencil
modal...: use title case instead of snake case for label.
- "Use a automatic number..." -> "an", typo.
- "... points,{} splines": missing space.
- "End Frame is larger than Start Frame": wrong order in error message.
- "Approximate the object as sphere, which diameter is equal to
thickness the defined...": grammar.
- "Show Seconds" -> "Use Timecode": this option is not necessarily about
seconds. Suggested by Pablo Vasquez.
- Brightness and contrast node input descriptions: add missing spaces.
- "Gamma controls the relative intensity... full white.": remove
trailing ".".

Add timeline version of tweak tool to timeline+preview mixed view.
This was removed in 8c53a18c48. Previously tools combined keymaps for
both preview and timeline, but in combined view preview operators were
disabled.

- The "location" and "warning" fields in bl_info are no longer exposed
in the interface, so there is no need to extract them any more.
- Some add-ons do not define a description (Copy Global Transform for
example), so they should be skipped.
- Some third-party legacy add-ons do not use the 'support' field, and
that can cause an error in extraction. Since this won't happen
for built-in add-ons, checking that an add-on is built-in is enough.

All add-ons were being scanned at startup, while this didn't cause
errors it was noticeable with extensions where any errors in the
manifest were being reported at startup, even when running with
factory-startup (including blender's own tests).
Address two issues:
- The logic to "reset" add-ons, so as to match the preferences when
reverting or resetting preferences always ran on startup.
This occurred because a check for Python being initialized was
incorrectly used to detect that this wasn't the first time preferences
were being loaded (regression in [0]).
- Resetting add-ons scanned all add-ons (including disabled add-ons) to
ensure their module cache is up to date. Since this the cache is
lazily initialized, it's simpler to set it as uninitialized as
resetting the add-ons doesn't require the cached meta-data.

The old add-ons UI had a "Refresh" operator that would re-scan
the file-system and show any changes.
Add an equivalent operator that works for both extensions and legacy
add-ons and add it to the extension menu.
This is useful for a few situations:
- Refresh based on changes to "System" repositories which are read-only
from Blender and intended to be manipulated outside of Blender.
- Anyone managing their own "User" repository.
- For developers to create extensions, where re-starting to see changes
to meta-data is inconvenient.
- Troubleshooting problems parsing extension meta-data as problems are
reported to the operator.
