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.

Clang (at least on OSX) has optimization issues with the pointer
version, which seem to be 'fixed' by using references.
Note that using references here is not a bad thing anyway (none of these
pointers would ever be expected to be NULL).

This commit moves generated `RNA_blender.h`, `RNA_prototype.h` and
`RNA_blender_cpp.h` headers to become C++ header files.
It also removes the now useless `RNA_EXTERN_C` defines, and just
directly use the `extern` keyword. We do not need anymore `extern "C"`
declarations here.

Previous code would declare properties as `extern PropertyRNA`, but
implement them as type-refined data (e.g. `FloatPropertyRNA`).
This is fully illegal thing, it happened to work 'fine' so far for two
main reasons:
* C-linking does not do type-checks on extern data.
* Code using these publicly exposed data would always use them as
`PorpertyRNA *` pointers, and pass them to RNA API.
However, this (finally !) breaks when trying to move generated
`RNA_property.h` header to C++, since at least MSVC2022 does mangle the
type in the extern'ed symbol name, which makes linking fails epically.
This commit fixes the issue by only declaring `PointerRNA *` pointers in
the headers. These pointers are then defined in each implementation file
(the `rna_xxx_gen.cc` ones), and assinged to the address of a matching
local static variable. These static variables are type-refined, and
actually contain the property definition data.

Centralized method to obtain ScrArea names. Areas can add an optional
space_name_get callback to provide a name that differs by subtype. If
not defined then ED_area_name will return RNA UI name, which is correct
in cases without area subtypes. This eliminates the current use of
RNA_property_enum_name_gettexted using a temporary context, which
results in the reported (hard to duplicate) error.

The call to `GHOST_DisposeSystemPaths` was done in `WM_exit_ex` and
_some_ of the tests' 'teardown'. But some more where missing. Issue was
only reproducible when defining `WITH_CXX_GUARDEDALLOC` cmake option.
There are several layers of issues here, this commit addresses the
first, simplest one: since `BKE_appdir` API will indirectly create the
GHOST SystemPaths data, it is simpler and more logical to move the
deletion of this SystemPaths data in `BKE_appdir_exit()`. This avoids
exposing a fairly low-level implementation detail all over our codebase.
Further more, `WM_init` also does not need to explicitely call
`GHOST_CreateSystemPaths`, since it will be created automatically when
required.
This adds support for attaching gizmos for input values. The goal is to make it
easier for users to set input values intuitively in the 3D viewport.
We went through multiple different possible designs until we settled on the one
implemented here. We picked it for it's flexibility and ease of use when using
geometry node assets. The core principle in the design is that **gizmos are
attached to existing input values instead of being the input value themselves**.
This actually fits the existing concept of gizmos in Blender well, but may be a
bit unintutitive in a node setup at first. The attachment is done using links in
the node editor.
The most basic usage of the node is to link a Value node to the new Linear Gizmo
node. This attaches the gizmo to the input value and allows you to change it
from the 3D view. The attachment is indicated by the gizmo icon in the sockets
which are controlled by a gizmo as well as the back-link (notice the double
link) when the gizmo is active.
The core principle makes it straight forward to control the same node setup from
the 3D view with gizmos, or by manually changing input values, or by driving the
input values procedurally.
If the input value is controlled indirectly by other inputs, it's often possible
to **automatically propagate** the gizmo to the actual input.
Backpropagation does not work for all nodes, although more nodes can be
supported over time.
This patch adds the first three gizmo nodes which cover common use cases:
* **Linear Gizmo**: Creates a gizmo that controls a float or integer value using
a linear movement of e.g. an arrow in the 3D viewport.
* **Dial Gizmo**: Creates a circular gizmo in the 3D viewport that can be
rotated to change the attached angle input.
* **Transform Gizmo**: Creates a simple gizmo for location, rotation and scale.
In the future, more built-in gizmos and potentially the ability for custom
gizmos could be added.
All gizmo nodes have a **Transform** geometry output. Using it is optional but
it is recommended when the gizmo is used to control inputs that affect a
geometry. When it is used, Blender will automatically transform the gizmos
together with the geometry that they control. To achieve this, the output should
be merged with the generated geometry using the *Join Geometry* node. The data
contained in *Transform* output is not visible geometry, but just internal
information that helps Blender to give a better user experience when using
gizmos.
The gizmo nodes have a multi-input socket. This allows **controlling multiple
values** with the same gizmo.
Only a small set of **gizmo shapes** is supported initially. It might be
extended in the future but one goal is to give the gizmos used by different node
group assets a familiar look and feel. A similar constraint exists for
**colors**. Currently, one can choose from a fixed set of colors which can be
modified in the theme settings.
The set of **visible gizmos** is determined by a multiple factors because it's
not really feasible to show all possible gizmos at all times. To see any of the
geometry nodes gizmos, the "Active Modifier" option has to be enabled in the
"Viewport Gizmos" popover. Then all gizmos are drawn for which at least one of
the following is true:
* The gizmo controls an input of the active modifier of the active object.
* The gizmo controls a value in a selected node in an open node editor.
* The gizmo controls a pinned value in an open node editor. Pinning works by
clicking the gizmo icon next to the value.

These aren't all cases, but a few that I found by addding a static
assert in `MEM_new` so that it fails for trivially constructible types.
Uses the OpenXR extension XR_FB_PASSTHROUGH_EXTENSION_NAME,
compatible mainly with the Meta Quest family of devices.
Currently, passthrough support over OpenXR is disabled by default
in the Quest Link app, and must be manually enabled in its settings
to use this feature.
The performance of the passthrough render varies with the quality
of the connection between the headset and the PC. For better results,
connecting the headset directly through USB to the PC, or at least
connecting the PC to the local network over ethernet, is recommended.
Thanks a lot to [KISKA](https://kiska.com/)

This is the main merge commit of the brush assets project. The previous
commits did some preparing changes, more tweaks are in the following commits.
Also, a lot of the more general work was already merged into the main branch
over the last two years.
With the new design, quite some things can be removed/replaced:
- There's a unified "Brush" tool now, brush based tools and all special
handling is removed.
- Old tool and brush icons are unsed now, and their initialization code
removed here. That means they draw as blank now, and the icon files can be
removed in a follow up.
- Creation of default brushes is unnecessary since brushes are now bundled in
the Essentials asset library. Icons/previews are handled as standard asset
previews.
- Grease pencil eraser options are replaced by a general default eraser brush
that can be set by the user.
More changes are planned still, see task list issue below.

Turns the asset shelf into a popover which reduces some of the special
handling. An operator `WM_OT_call_asset_shelf_popover()` (similar to
`WM_OT_call_panel()`) is added to be able to call the popover from shortcuts.
Exactly this was an important aspect for the brush assets project, to allow
quick searching for brushes from the popup.
A custom shortcut can be added to asset shelf popovers using "Assign Shortcut"
in the context menu of buttons invoking it.
The popover is spawned with the mouse hovering the first asset and the search
button active using "semi modal" handling. That means while the popover is
open, any text input is captured by the search button, while the rest of the
popover stays interactive. So for example navigating through asset catalogs is
possible, a single click activates an asset and closes the popover.

The cause of the crash was that asset libraries are freed, but the filtered
trees used for things like node tool menus weren't marked dirty, so we
continued to use the freed asset data. On a design level this is quite
concerning because it means the lifetimes of the asset tree caches and
the asset system's asset libraries are connected tenuously.
Eventually there should be a better solution, but I found the simplest
fix for now is just to add a notifier when opening a new file that causes
the asset tree caches to be tagged dirty.

This makes it possible for popups to have their confirm & cancel buttons
defined in the operator's draw callback.
When used with popups created by: `WindowManager::invoke_props_dialog()`
to override the default confirm/cancel buttons.
In the case of `WindowManager::popover(..)` & `bpy.ops.wm.call_panel()`
this can be used to add confirm/cancel buttons.
Details:
- When the confirm or cancel text argument is a blank string the button
isn't shown, making it possible to only show a single button.
- The template is similar to UILayout::operator in that it returns the
operator properties for the confirm action.
- MS-Windows alternate ordering of Confirm/Cancel is followed.
Needed to resolve#124098.

Caused by 9d4d1aea98. Not every operator
that uses lasso gesture has `smooth_stroke/radius` properties defined,

This PR adds stroke stabilization settings for the Sculpt mode lasso
tools:
* Mask
* Hide
* Trim
* Face Set
Only Sculpt tools have a user facing change, even though this was
implemented in `WM_gesture_lasso_modal` and related methods. Other
modes may choose to add these settings and toggles.
## Implementation
The implemented functionality is similar to the Annotate tool in both
interpolation of the new point and drawing the UI hint that
stabilization is happening.
The `radius` and `factor` properties have similar bounds as the same
Brush properties. All values are stored on a per-operator level, not on
a scene or otherwise global tool level.

Calling `MEM_freeN` on data allocated with `MEM_new` is bad, since it
will not call a destructor matching the one invoked as part of
`MEM_new`.
While in practice cases fixed below were 'not a problem' currently, as
they are trivial Cpp types (and therefore their destructor is doing
nothing), `MEM_freeN` has no way to ensure it is dealing with such a
trivial data type, so allowing such mismatch is dirty and dangerous.
Note that almost all fixed cases look more like unintentional mistakes
(mis-usages of `MEM_new` instead of `MEM_cnew`).
NOTE: There is one more (known!) case in the asset code, which fix is
slightly less trivial, and will go through a separate PR.
NOTE: This is a by-product of some work to detect such invalid usages of
`MEM_freeN` on memory chunks allocated with `MEM_new`.

Basically this tries to make the API to stop and kill jobs more explicit &
consistent, so intent is expressed clearly & behavior as expected.
- Remove use of the job start callback address as identifier for the job.
6887dea786 already removed this pattern from the jobs system internals, this
commit also removes it from the API.
- Make stop & kill API and implementation consistent. E.g. don't stop/kill jobs
by either owner **or** type/callback in one function, and by owner (if
provided) **and** type/callback in another. Causes some small behavior
changes, documented inline.
- Use the same job type and API for all preview render jobs (change by Brecht).
There doesn't seem to be a need for the separated types, in fact the
separation might have caused some issues earlier (and added code complexity).
- Add/improve function documentation.
This does actually have subtle behavior changes that are known, see PR, but
they were investigated carefully and seem like implementing wanted behavior.

The callback-based identification was introduced before job types were added in
7b60529517. The job type should be a more predictable/sane way to identify jobs
that should be exclusive. Using anything else is confusing and non-obvious from
the API usage side. In fact it really confused me when working on #123027.
Checked all existing jobs to make sure behavior is unchanged. Found
two issues:
- `WM_JOB_TYPE_OBJECT_SIM_FLUID` is used for both
`fluid_bake_startjob()` and `fluid_free_startjob()`. It makes sense to
me that they would be exclusive though, so leaving it this way
(meaning they are exclusive now).
- Alembic and USD job types were reused, split them up now to not change
behavior.

This was due to the fact that the `scale_fac` was not set up correctly for
GPv3.
We now compute the right radius in pixels so we can set up the `scale_fac`.
Note that this removes the logic for GPv2, since it is no longer needed in
Blender 4.3.
Add a `.data<T>()` method that retrieves a mutable span. This is useful
more and more as we change to filling in vertex buffer data arrays
directly, and compared to raw pointers it's safer too because of asserts
in debug builds.

This patch removes the Auto Render option from the compositor. This is
done for the following reason:
- The option didn't really work except in the case of transforming an
object. So it wasn't really reliable.
- It made little sense to use since the introduction of the Viewport
Compositor.
- It had a number of UX issues, including the fact that it can't be used
with animation playback, and the fact that rendering can get in the
way of the UI depending on the preferences for temporary editors.

Asset library loading uses the file browser backend (file-list), so it
would use the same job type. The job system makes sure that jobs of the
same type (or actually, with the same start callback)
wait for others of the same type to finish. This can be a problem here,
since loading asset libraries (which can take a while) could conflict
with regular file browers. Having both run in parallel is no issue, they
use local data only.
Also see #123033 to address the added TODO comment.

Wasn't exactly clear what this was doing before, and the logic using it
requires a bit of brain gymnastics to follow (with negations, nested
if's and continue's).
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.

This commit changes how users can interact with handles:
Unselected handles are not drawn anymore by default. Handles are bit
thinner. If handle can't be selected, because strip is too small,
it is not drawn.
When hovering over strip handle a cursor is changed to represent a
handle shape. It is possible to select 2 handles at once if strips are
adjoined.
When tweak event happens on unselected handle, handle selection is lost
ater tweaking.
This behavior can be disabled in preferences:
Editing > Video Sequencer > Tweak Handles.
Moving strips with G key works same way as before.
