This came up in #117747.
Unless an object was of OB_VOLUME type, the setting was not updating the
viewport accordingly since the introduction in 365bf103d1. So if for
example a mesh has a "Mesh to Volume" node, the update did not take
place.
If we use context, we can check the evaluated GeometrySet on any object
type with a geometry nodes modifier though and if it has a volume, we
can also tag for update.

This header is for 'internal' USD code only (also needed by the hydra
code), and uses references to the USD library itself, so its previous
name was a bit too generic.
First step to move the main public Blender USD API header (`usd.h`) to cpp.
Adjust ymax of action in frame range so that height will match with the
channel's height. Use same ymax as in `acf_nlaaction_backdrop`.
Also fixed `ycenter` value.

When moving keys in the Graph Editor animators
usually only want to move them on one axis.
While this is possible in a few ways (G+X, or G + Middle Mouse Button click),
we could default the behavior to always lock on an axis.
This was suggested by Dreamworks animators during the
Animation & Rigging module meeting.
https://devtalk.blender.org/t/2024-01-26-animation-rigging-module-meeting/33081#patch-review-decision-time-5
This PR adds an option with which the movement is
always locked to a single axis by default.
The option can be found in the Graph Editor under "View->Auto-Lock Axis".
The movement will then be restricted to the axis along
which you've moved the cursor the most.
You can still manually override the lock behavior by pressing `X` or `Y`.
I am piggybacking off the auto locking feature you get when pressing the middle mouse button.
When the new feature is enabled I call that at the start of the transformation.
Except when:
* only handles are selected
* the tweak mode has been started on a handle
This is to not snap handles, which is a behavior that has
been requested by the artists.

Animators (especially for film and TV) often need
to track the movement of things in screenspace.
At the end of the day, the pixel motion is what counts.
But motion paths were always in world space,
which made it hard to use when the camera
is also animated (during action scenes e.g.)
This PR introduces the feature of projecting a motion path into the screen space of the active scene camera.
Limitations
This makes the motion path only useful when looking through the active scene camera.
Switching the scene camera using markers is not yet supported.
Technical Implementation
This is achieved by baking the motion path points into the
camera space on creation. For every point calculated,
the camera is evaluated through the depsgraph and
the resulting world matrix is used.
Then I pass in the current frame's world matrix of the
camera into the shader to make sure the points follow it.
As can be seen in the video, it looks quite odd when
viewed at another angle but this is expected.
I mentioned that in the tooltip, so it shouldn't be an issue

This makes a change to the debug scripts to make it easier for both
users and those tending to the issue tracker by setting Blender's
temporary directory location to the debug logs location
The is necessary because while the debug output and the system
information file go to %temp%\blender\debug_logs, the crash text file
does not. We then have to spend additional time asking the user to go
fetch it from the other location. Now the crash file ends up in the same
place.

OpenImageDenoise API exposes two modes, high quality and balanced.
This currently only has effect on Nvidia devices, on which it
provides a noticeable performance improvement without visible
difference in quality. This change sets quality to balanced for
the viewport, and high quality for final frame rendering, as
it's what makes the most sense.

The assert attempted to guard against file formats declaring themselves
as "requiring a float buffer" but outputing to a "byte buffer". However,
DPX seems to permit this and the code seems to support it correctly.
The assert was originally added in 2022 by 5baa3ecda6. Subsequently the
test which exposed the problem was added in 2023 by 7699c7407d. But the
issue at hand has existed since DPX was added; it's the only format with
this combination of capabilities.

HWRT checkboxes visibility in the Cycles settings wasn't uniform across devices.
With this change, we unify it and gray out these in case HWRT isn't available.

Currently, internal I/O operators can be invoked with drag-n-drop path
data, and when this happens a quick popup menu is shown to customize
import settings.
If these operators support operator presets, using a preset can
override path data given by drag-n-drop, and that can be unwanted
behavior.
While this can be fixed by setting path properties to SKIP_SAVE, doing
this would make these properties also to stop using ghost values. These
ghost values are used by the file select window to open operator last
import directory, and using this flag makes the file select windows
always open the home directory.
To fix that, add an explicit flag PROP_SKIP_PRESET that skips properties
writing to presets. Also clarify that PROP_HIDDEN and PROP_SKIP_SAVE
also avoid writing to presets.
Added a operator that can clean operator's specific property presets.
Importing presets from previous versions runs an automatic cleanup.

In 4.1 we deprecate the `Rotate Euler` node in favor of the `Rotate Rotation`
node which uses the new rotation socket type. The node is not removed
(for now) because that would come with compatibility issues. More generally,
we'll likely run into the situation where nodes are deprecated more often in the
future, without actually removing them to keep compatibility. This patch improves
how such nodes are handled in the UI.
The patch does three things:
* Adds a new `Utilities > Deprecated` entry in the add node menu in geometry nodes.
* Moves search items which are deprecated to the bottom in the search results
(currently, this only works in English, can be fixed in bcon3).
* Adds a new `bNodeType->deprecation_notice` that will result in a deprecation
warning when the node is used.

This makes the socket names in the sample nodes a bit more aligned.
Specifically, the following names are changed:
* Geometry Proximity: `Target > Geometry`, `Source Position > Sample Position`
* Sample UV Surface: `Source UV Map > UV Map`

Since 1497005054, there is a new `ModifierData.persistent_uid` which
has more use cases than the old `session_uid`. This patch removes
`ModifierData.session_uid` and replaces its usages with the new `persistent_uid`.

Adds a function that deduplicates operator paths properties reading.

There are other places where this function can be useful, but I'm not sure whether to include `BLI_vector.hh` in RNA_access.hh
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/117644
This adds a new `ModifierData.persistent_uid` integer property with the following properties:
* It's unique within the object.
* Match between the original and evaluated object.
* Stable across Blender sessions.
* Stable across renames and reorderings of modifiers.
Potential use-cases:
* Everywhere where we currently use the name as identifier. For example,
`ModifierComputeContext` and `ModifierViewerPathElem`.
* Can be used as part of a key in `IDCacheKey` to support caches that stay
in-tact across undo steps.
* Can be stored in the `SpaceNode` to identify the modifier whose geometry node
tree is currently pinned (this could use the name currently, but that hasn't been
implemented yet).
This new identifier has some overlap with `ModifierData.session_uid`, but there
are some differences:
* `session_uid` is unique within the entire Blender session (except for duplicates
between the original and evaluated data blocks).
* `session_uid` is not stable across Blender sessions.
Especially due to the first difference, it's not immediately obvious that the new
`persistent_uid` can fulfill all use-cases of the existing `session_uid`. Nevertheless,
this seems likely and will be cleaned up separately.
Unfortunately, there is not a single place where modifiers are added to objects currently.
Therefore, there are quite a few places that need to ensure valid identifiers. I tried to catch
all the places, but it's hard to be sure. Therefore, I added an assert in `object_copy_data`
that checks if all identifiers are valid. This way, we should be notified relatively quickly if
issues are caused by invalid identifiers.

4 changes in this PR:
1) Fixed bug with saving translations to py files - saving sources and comments it didn't add `repr` for the saved strings which was producing unexpected special characters.
Then these special characters sometimes made `translations.py` invalid (e.g., it was failing to load with some `\u` combinations) or was producing invalid characters in .po files created from the `translations.py`.
2) `find_best_messages_matches` used to fail when current message context wasn't found in the .po file. E.g. there were no messages with context "View3D", "Operator", ... and you would try to edit translation for the element that uses that context. I've added a fallback to empty sets to make sure it won't fail and just return the valid result that there are no matches.
3) added minor typing hint for easier code navigation.
4) added print to make it clear what data is printed.

All the option does internally is reverse the order of the rotations,
but this is the same as old "Rotate Euler" node, and it's a bit more
intuitive this way. Also use the same socket names, "Rotation" and
"Rotate By" which are much more intuitive.
Technically it would be better to not have to duplicate the multi-
function just to switch the order of the arguments. But the
evaluator assumes that the order always matches the socket
order currently.

Continuation of bdfb1f6a04. Adds derived classes for the essentials and
preferences asset libraries, to allow specialized classes with a simple
and common interface. This should help untangling the asset library
service code.
In sculpt mode vertex and face normals are updated explicitly, but
corner normals, which are cached now, aren't updated for performance
reasons. This means that when the mesh is deformed, they need to be
cleared. See b339e3937d for some background on the complexity
of this area.
Copies vertex group names from the GPv2 object to the new GPv3 GreasePencil data block.
Copies only those names to the drawings that are actually used by any of the strokes.
Updates group indices in `MDeformVert` data to point to local Drawing groups.
