This rename the `Cutter` tool's name, code and icon to `Trim`.
The legacy Grease Pencil code is unchanged.
This was discussed in the 2024-07-30 Grease Pencil Module Meeting.
Reasons for the change:
- Match the `Trim Stroke Ends` setting on brushes.
- Match the `stroke_trim` operator.
- Name is more clear and more commonly used.
- Frees the name for a future boolean cutting tool.

Resizing of the Blender SVG logo to fit within an 1800 unit horizontal
maximum rather than being oversized. Makes it slightly smaller overall
but not sure anyone will notice.

This error was introduced on 7dc3e8e04d
by the automatic script used (after my original PR code - !127194).
The SVG had the same attributes added twice.
The issue was technically introduced on
ffa802da7ac09273a34903438550e0966c4063dc (which is not in main but part
of the code which was merged).
Changes to the icons used for document and folder when in thumbnail
view in File Browser. A bit more detail, less chunky, more in tune
with OS versions. Better match for the recent increased fidelity of
the "type" icons that are shown in their centers.

In order to recolor icons based on themes, some svg icons have specific
ID names. These names are currently of the pattern "blender.some_name".
However, although CSS ID names are allowed to contain a period in them,
these are problematic as selectors. This is because #tagname.something
looks like a combination of ID and class name. Although these can be
escaped like #tagname\.something that is a pain. This PR replaces the
periods with underscores.

Right-clicking on an edge between editors, the "Screen Area Options"
menu has a number of items including for Area Join. When docking is
NOT enabled this gives the prior behavior of interactive join where
you can change direction and requires Enter to confirm. If docking
is enabled then there are instead instant join options but now with
a specific icon for each direction.

#125625 moved the File Browser Thumbnail type icon location from the
bottom-left of the thumbnail extent to the bottom-left of the item
bounds. This does the same for the indication of offline and for
shortcut. This adds a new icon for shortcut instead of current use of
ICON_LOOP_FORWARDS, which doesn't look right. The new icon looks like
the Mac Alias arrow, but this also works fine for other platforms.

For the times we need to obtain the bitmap of an SVG icon, send these
through the new theme coloring callback if they are multi-color. This
removes some code duplication by adding a new function that gets an
imBuf from SVG Icon. This allows, for "About" logo, Dialog icons, and
file system icons the optional ability to use a single SVG source file
that works as both monochrome (themed by text color) or multicolor with
internal parts themed.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/126215
Allow color SVG icons to have their fill colors modified by theme
colors using a callback. This is done just before rasterization so
only happens once per requested size, before these are cached for
reuse.

We have a number of event icons, used on the Status Bar, to indicate
mouse actions. It is currently difficult to align these nicely because
they vary in width and design. This PR makes them all the same design
width and aligned to the left edge. This removes a need to add negative
spacing before any of them and only requires space after some of them.
This also adds a new one to indicate "double left click" as my current
use of this looks a bit sus. This also adds a "mouse wheel scroll"

Some icons have some extra paths, some have groups in an order that
overlaps badly, some using shapes instead of paths, some curves with
shapes that fill incorrectly. Just some basic cleanup.

This icon can be used when refering to a "geometry set" which can contain
potentially multiple geometries of different types (such as mesh, volume, etc.).
It was designed by Simon Thommes as part of #125293.
Since 7b0ea0f1b4, brushes use the asset system and previews are stored
in the asset source blend files. The bundled ones are part of the
essentials asset library, see
`release/datafiles/assets/publis/brushes/essentials_brushes.blend`.
Note that this doesn't remove the toolbar icons for these brushes yet.
Initially reviewed in (but this commit contains further changes missing
in the PR):

Our icon sources currently include two versions of the Blender logo,
the official one and one that is modified to align better to our
smallest pixel grid. But with our recent change to SVG icons, and
alignment tweaks to the official version this can be used in all
cases. This PR does so, removes BLENDER_LARGE, and also slightly
tweaks FILE_BACKUP and FILE_BLEND to use the official form.

See blender/blender-assets@c02a78249c.
The essentials asset library now features the bundled brushes as brush assets.
This is in preparation for the brush assets project merge, see #116337.
There's no real reason to wait with merging these, even if merging the rest of
the assets project may take a few days still. These brush assets will not show
up in the asset browser yet, since brush assets are still considered an
experimental feature in the main branch.
Slight changes to the sizing and placement of the Blender logo within
its icon bounds. Perfect alignment to grid for top of the horizontal
bar, bottom, and right edges. Could allow use down to about 32x32.

This patch adds two theme entries for data before/after the current frame.
Those entries control what color to use when displaying
reference data from a different point in time (motion path, onion skins).
They are under the `3D Viewport` section of the theme in the user preferences.
## User Facing Changes
### Grease Pencil
When `Custom Colors` is disabled it will now use the theme instead of the layer default color.
Currently this setting is enabled by default. Disable it to get Blender to use the theme.
### Motion Path
If Custom Color is disabled, read from the Theme.
### Annotations
If onion skin is enabled, and custom onion skin colors is disabled, read from the theme.
**Grease Pencil**
* previously the color used for onion skinning (without custom colors) was `U.gpencil_new_layer_col`. This is used in other places as well so it cannot be removed with this PR
* By default, custom colors are enabled with Grease Pencil objects. I specifically did **not** change that with this PR. I will instead let the GP module handle that on their terms.
This PR has been discussed in the Grease Pencil module meeting
https://devtalk.blender.org/t/2024-05-21-grease-pencil-module-meeting/34755#meeting-notes-2

Use new SVG icon the "Blender" logo shown on the About screen. Allows
removal of blender_logo.png and no need for 1024x256 bitmap. Instead it
is made at exact requested size. This PR updates blender_logo_large.svg
because the (R) in it is not a stroke or path, but actual text - not
rasterized by Nano.

Remove release/datafiles/blender_icons.svg and the folders containing
the exported icon DAT files, blender_icons16 and blender_icons32 and
the files they contain.
706 SVG files, one for each UI icon (totaling 1.56 MB), added to the
project in release/datafiles/icons_svg/ folder. These will later be
packed into the binary at compile time. Required for #121718

Some of the existing colors were hard to read with the new
strips design.
Tried following the concept from 2.83 redesign rationale:
* Same saturation for regular strips.
* Lower saturation for effect strips.
* Tried to reduce the hue shift between certain similar effects.
Other changes:
* Match saturation of all regular strips.
* Reduce value and saturation (mostly value) of color tags so
they are readable in both light and dark text.
* Image: Follow node editor Image node socket color.
* Color: Use the same hue as the color node socket.
* Text: Change it so it doesn’t use the same as Image.
* Sound: Use a greener color, less movie-like blue.
* Scene: Light gray, similar fashion to Collections.
* Other strips had minor adjustments.

Add the color for the new keytype 'generated' to the VSE theme settings
as well.
This includes the versioning code that loads the default from the scene.
Without this, the preference would be initialised to black.
Note that the 'Blender Light' theme does not have any colors for any of
the key types, so I also didn't add the 'generated' type there.

This is the first commit of the several required to support
subprocess-based parallel compilation on OpenGL.
This provides the base API and implementation, and exposes the max
subprocesses setting on the UI, but it's not used by any code yet.
More information and the rest of the code can be found in #121925.
This one includes:
- A new `GPU_shader_batch` API that allows requesting the compilation
of multiple shaders at once, allowing GPU backed to compile them in
parallel and asynchronously without blocking the Blender UI.
- A virtual `ShaderCompiler` class that backends can use to add their
own implementation.
- A `ShaderCompilerGeneric` class that implements synchronous/blocking
compilation of batches for backends that don't have their own
implementation yet.
- A `GLShaderCompiler` that supports parallel compilation using
subprocesses.
- A new `BLI_subprocess` API, including IPC (required for the
`GLShaderCompiler` implementation).
- The implementation of the subprocess program in
`GPU_compilation_subprocess`.
- A new `Max Shader Compilation Subprocesses` option in
`Preferences > System > Memory & Limits` to enable parallel shader
compilation and the max number of subprocesses to allocate (each
subprocess has a relatively high memory footprint).
Implementation Overview:
There's a single `GLShaderCompiler` shared by all OpenGL contexts.
This class stores a pool of up to `GCaps.max_parallel_compilations`
subprocesses that can be used for compilation.
Each subprocess has a shared memory pool used for sending the shader
source code from the main Blender process and for receiving the already
compiled shader binary from the subprocess. This is synchronized using
a series of shared semaphores.
The subprocesses maintain a shader cache on disk inside a
`BLENDER_SHADER_CACHE` folder at the OS temporary folder.
Shaders that fail to compile are tried to be compiled again locally for
proper error reports.
Hanged subprocesses are currently detected using a timeout of 30s.
