Following discussion to document the `icon_value` property of
`GIZMO_GT_button_2d` in PR #136080, and generally improve the
documentation of this Gizmo Type, this patch adds a new "Gizmo
Simple 2D" Python template, and renames the existing "Gizmo
Simple" template to "Gizmo Simple 3D".

When updates are available, clicking on the button in the status bar
was only showing "Add-on" updates.
Restore the ability to show "All" extension types which is
set when showing updates.
This adds icons for ICON_RGB_RED, ICON_RGB_GREEN, and ICON_RGB_BLUE
that display with those colors. This does not remove the existing
monochrome ICON_COLOR_* icons. This also allows the translation of
the "R", "G", "B" characters shown, for languages that prefer color
words that do not start with these.

Part of #134755 / #134766.
Adds options to the new Import Settings popover (added in 7a6beb65f4)
to toggle collection instancing for dragging in collections. It can be
toggled separately for linking and appending, since it's typical to use
instancing for linking, but not appending (current default, also with
this change).
Previously, toggling collection instancing was only possible via the
Adjust Last Operation panel but this wasn't obvious, many people were
not aware. Adding this option based on feedback by the Blender Studio.

When the scene settings indicate the active keying set should be used,
this is taken into account for all auto-keying done by the add-on. This
covers:
- Pasting global transform
- Pasting relative transform
- Fix to Camera
Support is limited to *relative* keying sets. Absolute keying sets,
which thus determine what gets keyed regardless of the selection, are
not supported, as the interaction between the "copy this object/bone's
transform" is currently not known.
Fix to Camera has its own settings for what to key; these will be
combined with the keying set. Only those properties that are enabled in
the Fix to Camera settings AND included in the keying set will be keyed.
To give a concrete example: when the "Location & Rotation" keying set is
active, and "Location" and "Scale" are checked in the Fix to Camera
panel, only the location will be keyed.
A message is shown in the Fix to Camera panel to notify users that the
keying set will affect the keys as well.
The keying set will only be considered when the auto-keying option "Only
Active Keying Set" is enabled.

This patch adds a new Image Info node which returns information about
compositor images. The node has three sources:
The node returns the following information:
- Pixel Coordinates: The coordinates of the centers of the pixels in the
image. Those are essentially the integer coordinates with half pixels
offsets added.
- Texture Coordinates: Zero centered pixel coordinates normalized along
the greater dimension. Somewhat analogous to Object coordinates in
shader nodes.
- Resolution: The resolution of the image.
- Location: The location of the image in the virtual compositing space.
- Rotation: The rotation of the image in the virtual compositing space.
- Scale: The scale of the image in the virtual compositing space.
This node is very useful to allow greater flexibility and procedural
creations. For instance, coordinates can be used to create procedural
effects like vignette using very simple math nodes. And size can be used
to compute size-relative parameters for pixel-parameter nodes.

This patch adds common nodes that are used in Geometry Nodes and Shader
Nodes to the compositor. The following new nodes were added:
- Vector Math.
- Vector Rotate.
- Vector Mix.
- Value Mix.
- Clamp.
- Float Curve.
- Blackbody.
The follow nodes were replaced by common counterparts:
- Value.
- Color Ramp.
- Mix Color.
- Map Range.
- Math.
- Combine XYZ.
- Separate XYZ.
- Vector Curves.
Some new features were gained in the process:
- Mix Color can now clamp both factor and result.
- Map Range can map different types and interpolations.
- Vector Curves gained a new Factor input.
Some behaviors were changed:
- Map Range previously forcibly clamped values whose magnitude is larger
than the arbitrary value of 10000. This is no longer the case.
Some nodes were removed:
- Map Value. This was Map Range without the maximum 10000 limitation
followed by a Clamp node. Both are now available as nodes.
Some common nodes remain separate:
- Separate/Combine Color. Shader counterpart does not yet support all
color modes, and does not support alpha.
- RGB Curves. Shader variant does not support Film-Like curves or
Black/White balancing.
Texture nodes will also be added soon in a separate patch. Nodes that
were replaced are now deprecated but still exist and will later be
removed in v5.0. Backward compatibility code was introduced to convert
from the deprecated nodes to the new nodes.

Part of #134755 / #134766.
Replaces the current import method menu in the middle of the Asset
Browser header with a "Import Settings" popover. The import method is
located there now, because it doesn't need to be as prominent as it used
to be, especially with #104686.
Plan is to add further settings to this popover, e.g. see #135996 or
#134943.
Before this patch, Video Output using FFmpeg video
display lot of parameters.
But some of theses have a meaning only for some codec
(mainly lossy gop codecs : H264, H265, AV1...)
Hide not useful parameters for codec :
'DNXHD', 'FFV1', 'HUFFYUV', 'PNG', 'QTRLE'
- DNXHD : intra frame codec, encoding setting depends of a profile
- FFV1/QTRLE : Intra or P frames only. Lossless codec
- HUFFYUV/PNG : Intra lossless codec

The import nodes are considered complete enough to expose without
the experimental option. This commit removes the option so they will
be exposed in 4.5. There are still some possible future improvements,
including automatic caching, possibly exposing more input sockets,
and possibly including imported paths in the "Internal Dependencies"
panel. Those are considered non blocking though.

Add 'Smoothing Groups' option for exporting polygon smoothing groups.
Generates 'bitflags' smoothgroups values, ensuring no faces from different
groups sharing a same boundary edge or vertex have the same bitflag value.
NOTE: This type of smoothgroups will run out of group values (aka bitflags) with
some specific topologies, e.g. a fan of over 31 flat faces sharing a same vertex
(like the sides of a cone). In such cases, once all available values have been used,
the remaining faces will get `0` (aka 'no group') value assigned.

Part of #134755 / #134766.
The asset browser currently lacks a compact view that leaves names
readable. Especially when managing asset libraries (e.g. to prepare it
for sharing or set up a production library), this is quite a usability
issue. A column view like the file browser has can solve this, allowing
a quick overview and fast browsing of libraries, while keeping names
readable.
Adds a new "Horizontal List" display mode to the asset browser that
distributes assets over multiple columns, with horizontal scrolling.
Asset previews are shown in this mode, plus an asset type icon if
there's enough space. The size of previews and the columns can be
configured next to the display mode, for optimizing the display.

Implement shortcuts for viewer nodes. Viewer nodes are now activated using the operator `bpy.ops.node.activate_viewer()` instead of activating the viewer by setting the node to active.
This also unifies the behavior with viewer shortcuts in the compositor (see attachment in the original PR).

Fix a few small mistakes in the action baking code:
- Assigning an action slot should only happen after the action itself has
been assigned.
- `_ensure_channelbag_exists()` didn't actually ensure the channelbag
always exists; now it also creates the layer & strip if necessary.

This patch adds the ability to snap to the frame range bounds in the VSE
timeline, on by default. End frame snap location is offset by 1 to
ensure the snap point aligns with the visible end frame boundary
(otherwise e.g. right handle of strip would be one frame short).
Timeline and preview snapping is also turned on by default using the
same versioning block.

This PR enabled GPU subdivision on Vulkan backend. Measured
performance is slower compared to CPU on my system. But it is
expected that other bottlenecks should be solved in order to
fully benefit from this feature.
We enable it so we keep track of the performance bottlenecks.

draw_attribute_warnings() called in every attribute panel code.
Following function iterates through entire attribute list
mesh.attributes along with vgroup list to identify the colliding name.
This results in printing collision names in irrelavant panels. Now fixed
by passing relevant attributes to compare in `draw_attribute_warnings`.
First find colliding names, add them to the list if they exists in current attribute list

Some wheels don't use "Purelib", meaning the directory layout of the
wheel needs to be manipulated on installation.
Add partial support for Python's "Binary distribution format" when
Purelib is false, since paths such as `includes` & `scripts` are not
remapped into user accessible locations - they will remain in the
wheels "*.data" directory, these could be supported if it's needed
although it seems like a fairly niche use case.
Ref !135709
The underlying issue was that the code was trying to directly assign a Python
dictionary to an add-on defined Group Property accessed via `[]` syntax, like
this:
```
to_bone['rigify_parameters'] = param_dict
```
That only works if 'rigify_parameters' does *not* already exist according to the
`[]` lookup, so this was failing whenever it already did.
This PR fixes that by simply deleting the property first when it already exists.

As a small addition to the import node features for 4.5,

Currently this just allows .txt files. More extensions could

When baking custom properties that were named exactly the same
as a property already in Blender (in this case `scale`), it would fail.
The issue was introduced with eee32726c7 where the goal was
to not key addon defined properties.
The problem with that approach was that `obj.bpy_rna.properties`
not only contains addon defined properties but also all that are native to Blender.
So the rna path would be created to be identical as for e.g. transform properties.
The fix is to test the property for `is_runtime` which is true for addon
defined properties but false for blender internal properties
I tested with the test file of #121349 to confirm that doing so
doesn't bring that original bug back.

When accessing the key-map for tooltips it's important to use
the final "user" keymap, combine from "active" & "default".
Using the active keyconfig would only keys from key-maps that had
been modified.
This commit adds the `sculpt.mask_by_color` operator to the 'Mask' menu item in Sculpt Mode. This
allows users to access it via operator / property search. Additionally, the Redo panel is exposed
