Introduces a new `AssetRepresentation` type, as a runtime only container
to hold asset information. It is supposed to become _the_ main way to
represent and refer to assets in the asset system, see T87235. It can
store things like the asset name, asset traits, preview and other asset
metadata.
Technical documentation:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/Architecture/Asset_System/Back_End#Asset_Representation.
By introducing a proper asset representation type, we do an important
step away from the previous, non-optimal representation of assets as
files in the file browser backend, and towards the asset system as
backend. It should replace the temporary & hacky `AssetHandle` design in
the near future. Note that the loading of asset data still happens
through the file browser backend, check the linked to Wiki page for more
information on that.
As a side-effect, asset metadata isn't stored in file browser file
entries when browsing with link/append anymore. Don't think this was
ever used, but scripts may have accessed this. Can be brought back if
there's a need for it.
The color-band needs to do some special, rather awkward updating of the
UI state when certain values are changed. As @lichtwerk noted in the
report, this was done to the wrong buttons. Now lookup the proper
buttons, and don't assume that `uiItemR()` only adds a single button
(which often isn't the case).
This allows us to asynchronously load items into the menu, see
cf98518055. All menus spawned from Python using the `wm.call_menu`
operator will be affected by this. We could avoid that and only refresh
the menu we need to, but it's worth trying to get this to work as a
general menu feature.
This is a slightly risky change, so keeping an eye open for bugs.
Motivation is to disambiguate on the naming level what the matrix
actually means. It is very easy to understand the meaning backwards,
especially since in Python the name goes the opposite way (it is
called `world_matrix` in the Python API).
It is important to disambiguate the naming without making developers
to look into the comment in the header file (which is also not super
clear either). Additionally, more clear naming facilitates the unit
verification (or, in this case, space validation) when reading an
expression.
This patch calls the matrix `object_to_world` which makes it clear
from the local code what is it exactly going on. This is only done
on DNA level, and a lot of local variables still follow the old
naming.
A DNA rename is setup in a way that there is no change on the file
level, so there should be no regressions at all.
The possibility is to add `_matrix` or `_mat` suffix to the name
to make it explicit that it is a matrix. Although, not sure if it
really helps the readability, or is it something redundant.

The number of node groups was including the fake user count.
I was ignoring the Fake User, and how it affects the id->us count.
This problem was present since the initial commit: 84825e4ed2.
Adds the possibility of having a little number on top of icons.
At the moment this is used for:
* Outliner
* Node Editor bread-crumb
* Node Group node header
For the outliner there is almost no functional change. It is mostly a refactor
to handle the indicators as part of the icon shader instead of the outliner
draw code. (note that this was already recently changed in a5d3b648e3).
The difference is that now we use rounded border rectangle instead of
circles, and we can go up to 999 elements.
So for the outliner this shows the number of collapsed elements of a
certain type (e.g., mesh objects inside a collapsed collection).
For the node editors is being used to show the use count for the data-block.
This is important for the node editor, so users know whether the node-group
they are editing (or are about to edit) is used elsewhere. This is
particularly important when the Node Options are hidden, which is the
default for node groups appended from the asset libraries.

Note: This can be easily enabled for ID templates which can then be part
of T84669. It just need to call UI_but_icon_indicator_number_set in the
function template_add_button_search_menu.

These functions are almost identical, the main difference being
BLI_join_dirfile didn't trim existing slashes when joining paths
however this isn't an important difference that warrants a separate
function.
The confusion is about World as an ID type, and the World coordinates.
Use no context for the latter, and either `BLT_I18NCONTEXT_ID_WORLD`,
or other more fine-grained contexts when needed as part of enums for the
former.
The message from the custom HDRI installation operator cannot be
disambiguated right now, because Python enums don't support contexts.

Fix an issue where a `UI_BTYPE_CHECKBOX_N` button couldn't be toggled.
When toggling the value of a property, the `UI_BTYPE_TOGGLE_N`,
`UI_BTYPE_ICON_TOGGLE_N`, and `UI_BTYPE_CHECKBOX_N` types shouldn't
matter. These determine the inverted display of the value, but toggles
of that value should still happen once.
For these button types, the toggle happened twice, effectively making it
a no-op. The code for individual values is now also consistent with the
code for handling bit-flags.

Currently node group assets are supported, but using them by dragging
from the asset browser is cumbersome. This patch adds all node group
assets from user asset libraries and the current file libraries to the
add node search menu and the link drag search menu.
Node groups added through the search will have their "options" hidden,
meaning the data-block selector is displayed. This helps keep the UI
clean, and the selector shouldn't be necessary anyway.
To make that possible, metadata like the node tree type and its inputs
and outputs has to be saved in the file. This requires re-saving the
files that contain the assets with the patch applied.
The node add search operator is moved from Python to C++ to ease
development and allow more flexibility. It supports a tooltip that
gives the description of assets.
Currently the node groups are added with the asset system's existing
"Append & Reuse" behavior. It's likely that linking should be possible
in the future too, but for now the idea is to use the more foolproof
option that doesn't create dependencies between files.
Because loading assets can potentially take a long time, the search
menu refreshes its items as new assets are loaded. However, changing
the search field is necessary to see the update.

When moving strip, or it's handle, text with frame number near handle
should be drawn. This feature was broken by 8d53ead69b, because
function `UI_view2d_text_cache_add` sets all fields of `v2s->rect` to 0.
This case was checked in function `UI_view2d_text_cache_draw`, but it
was not quite obvious.
This commit reverts 8d53ead69b, makes condition for 0 size rectangle
more obvious and adds comment for clarity.
function `UI_view2d_text_cache_add` is only used in NLA and VSE, and
this new condition fits existing use-cases. Status of T97500 is not
affected by this change.
When a change happens which invalidates view layers the syncing will be postponed until the first usage.
This will improve importing or adding many objects in a single operation/script.
`BKE_view_layer_need_resync_tag` is used to tag the view layer to be out of sync. Before accessing
`BKE_view_layer_active_base_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_object_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_collection`
or `BKE_view_layer_object_bases` the caller should call `BKE_view_layer_synced_ensure`.
Having two functions ensures that partial syncing could be added as smaller patches in the future. Tagging a
view layer out of sync could be replaced with a partial sync. Eventually the number of full resyncs could be
reduced. After all tagging has been replaced with partial syncs the ensure_sync could be phased out.
This patch has been added to discuss the details and consequences of the current approach. For clarity
the call to BKE_view_layer_ensure_sync is placed close to the getters.
In the future this could be placed in more strategical places to reduce the number of calls or improve
performance. Finding those strategical places isn't that clear. When multiple operations are grouped
in a single script you might want to always check for resync.
Some areas found that can be improved. This list isn't complete.
These areas aren't addressed by this patch as these changes would be hard to detect to the reviewer.
The idea is to add changes to these areas as a separate patch. It might be that the initial commit would reduce
performance compared to master, but will be fixed by the additional patches.
**Object duplication**
During object duplication the syncing is temporarily disabled. With this patch this isn't useful as when disabled
the view_layer is accessed to locate bases. This can be improved by first locating the source bases, then duplicate
and sync and locate the new bases. Will be solved in a separate patch for clarity reasons ({D15886}).
**Object add**
`BKE_object_add` not only adds a new object, but also selects and activates the new base. This requires the
view_layer to be resynced. Some callers reverse the selection and activation (See `get_new_constraint_target`).
We should make the selection and activation optional. This would make it possible to add multiple objects
without having to resync per object.
**Postpone Activate Base**
Setting the basact is done in many locations. They follow a rule as after an action find the base and set
the basact. Finding the base could require a resync. The idea is to store in the view_layer the object which
base will be set in the basact during the next sync, reducing the times resyncing needs to happen.

This refactors the geometry nodes evaluation system. No changes for the
user are expected. At a high level the goals are:
* Support using geometry nodes outside of the geometry nodes modifier.
* Support using the evaluator infrastructure for other purposes like field evaluation.
* Support more nodes, especially when many of them are disabled behind switch nodes.
* Support doing preprocessing on node groups.
For more details see T98492.
There are fairly detailed comments in the code, but here is a high level overview
for how it works now:
* There is a new "lazy-function" system. It is similar in spirit to the multi-function
system but with different goals. Instead of optimizing throughput for highly
parallelizable work, this system is designed to compute only the data that is actually
necessary. What data is necessary can be determined dynamically during evaluation.
Many lazy-functions can be composed in a graph to form a new lazy-function, which can
again be used in a graph etc.
* Each geometry node group is converted into a lazy-function graph prior to evaluation.
To evaluate geometry nodes, one then just has to evaluate that graph. Node groups are
no longer inlined into their parents.
Next steps for the evaluation system is to reduce the use of threads in some situations
to avoid overhead. Many small node groups don't benefit from multi-threading at all.
This is much easier to do now because not everything has to be inlined in one huge
node tree anymore.
