Add Bake Action to the NLA edit menu to aid discoverablity and allow
people to understand that Bake Action is part of working with the NLA.
Part of the NLA road map improvement project for the Animation Module.
This was a community request to add access to the Bake without needing
to turn on developer tools in the preferences and then use search in the
NLA for bake.
It seems this was always intended, as the operator is called `nla.bake`.

Add a new operator, "Start Tweaking Strip Actions (Full Stack)", which
allows you to insert keyframes and preserve the pose that you visually
keyed while upper strips are evaluating,
The old operator has been renamed from "Start Tweaking Strip Actions" to
"Start Tweaking Strip Actions (Lower Stack)" and remains the default for
the hotkey {key TAB}.
**Limitations, Keyframe Remapping Failure Cases**:
1. For *transitions* above the tweaked strip, keyframe remapping will
fail for channel values that are affected by the transition. A work
around is to tweak the active strip without evaluating the upper NLA
stack.
It's not supported because it's non-trivial and I couldn't figure it
out for all transition combinations of blend modes. In the future, it
would be nice if transitions (and metas) supported nested tracks
instead of using the left/right strips for the transitions. That
would allow the transitioned strips to overlap in time. It would also
allow N strips to be part of the (previously) left and right strips,
or perhaps even N strips being transitioned in sequence (similar to a
blend tree). Proper keyframe remapping through all that is currently
beyond my mathematical ability. And even if I could figure it out,
would it make sense to keyframe remap through a transition?
//This case is reported to the user for failed keyframe insertions.//
2. Full replace upper strip that contains the keyed channels.
//This case is reported to the user for failed keyframe insertions.//
3. When the same action clip occurs multiple times (colored Red to
denote it's a linked strip) and vertically overlaps the tweaked
strip, then the remapping will generally fail and is expected to
fail.
I don't plan on adding support for this case as it's also non-trivial
and (hopefully) not a common or expected use case so it shouldn't be
much of an issue to lack support here.
For anyone curious on the cases that would work, it works when the
linked strips aren't time-aligned and when we can insert a keyframe
into the tweaked strip without modifying the current frame output of
the other linked strips. Having all frames sampled and the strip
non-time aligned leads to a working case. But if all key handles are
AUTO, then it's likely to fail.
//This case is not reported to the user for failed keyframe
insertions.//
4. When using Quaternions and a small strip influence on the tweaked
Combine strip. This was an existing failure case before this patch
too but worth a mention in case it causes confusion. D10504 has an
example file with instructions.
//This case is not reported to the user for failed keyframe insertions. //
5. When an upper Replace strip with high influence and animator keys to
Quaternion Combine (Replace is fine). This case is similar to (4)
where Quaternion 180 degree rotation limitations prevent a solution.
//This case is not reported to the user for failed keyframe insertions.//

Add operator to select markers left/right of the current frame
(including the current frame).
`bpy.ops.marker.select_leftright(mode='LEFT', extend=False)`
`mode` can be either 'LEFT' or 'RIGHT'.
The naming and defaults of the above variables match similar operators
(e.g., `bpy.ops.nla.select_leftright`)
This also adds a new sub-menu to the Marker menu found in animation
editors, exposing both the new `bpy.ops.marker.select_leftright`
operator as well as the `bpy.ops.marker.select_all` operator.
Despite the name "Before Current Frame" and "After Current Frame", it
also selects a marker that falls on the current from for both of the
modes. This is to match the behavior found in the `nla.select_leftright`
operator.

Use the global F2 rename panel for the NLA editor to rename NLA strips.

Some operations, e.g. adding a new action strip to NLA, require
knowing the active frame range of an action. However, currently it
can only be deduced by scanning the keyframes of the curves within
it. This is not ideal if e.g. curves are staggered for overlap.
As suggested by Nathan Vegdahl in comments to T54724, this patch adds
Action properties that allow manually specifying its active frame range.
The settings are exposed via a panel in the Dopesheet and Action Editor.
When enabled, the range is highlighted in the background using a striped
fill to distinguish it from the solid filled regular playback range.
When set, the frame range is used when adding or updating NLA tracks,
and by add-ons using `Action.frame_range`, e.g. FBX exporter.

#### Motivation
The View pie menu is a convenient way to access operators such as `Frame Selected` and `Frame All` which are usually mapped to `PERIOD` or `HOME` keys on the right side of most keyboard, making it hard hard to reach with the left hand.
The motivation for this patch comes from working with a 75% keyboard (no numpad). Most laptops face a similar problem.
#### Implementation
The View pie menu has been added to the following editors and sub-modes where applicable:
* Node Editor
* Video Sequencer
* Dopesheet
* Graph
* NLA
* Image
* Clip
* Outliner
More options could definitely be added to this menu for convenience, as long as it maintains the common options in the same place (Frame Selected on the left, Frame All on the right).
For positioning I went with the following layout:
{F11791186, size=full}
I've added `Zoom 1:1`to the Image Editor and the VSE Preview since there is no way to reset the zoom on keyboards without numpad (unless Emulate Numpad is turned on).
The Outliner uses `Show Active` and `Show Hierarchy` which are the closest ones to the equivalent in other editors. Should `Show Active` be renamed to `Frame Selected`?
The shortcut assigned is the same as the 3D Viewport (`ACCENT_GRAVE`).

Instead of having the option to show marker lines,
make the marker region optional.
- Added a Show Markers entry in the View menu of the animation editors.
- If the markers region is not active then the Marker menu gets hidden.
- Removed marker menu from the driver editor
and don't allow to use marker operators.
This option was doing nothing in Blender 2.80.
I don't really see a reason for keeping it around.

Each space had separate operators, duplicating logic.
Use RNA properties instead so adding the ability to toggle other
region types (floating redo region for eg) doesn't need to have an
extra operator per space type.
It's also nicer to show a check-box for something which can be toggled.
This also includes fixed/slighly refactored drawing code for marker lines.
The old code used the wrong height.

This commit is an experiment in using popovers as a place to house some
of the filtering options for animation editors, in line with what's taking
place in the Outliner with the filtering popover there too.
Right now, the most frequently used/changed options are still available
on the headers (i.e. the "Only Selected"/"Hidden"/search fields), while
everything else (i.e. the per-datablock filters, which were already hidden
behind a collapsed-toggle button before) now live in the popover.
Although this wasn't so obvious since it
only showed up for factory settings and in the preferences window.
Panel display order depends on registration order,
Sorry for the noise. On the bright side we no longer need to move
classes around to re-arrange panels.
To make it easier to synchronise timing across multiple strips, if you add
markers locally to an action, these will show up in the NLA strip in the
NLA Editor. These markings can then be used to line up the start/end of
another strip, or even to make sure that the markers from two different
strips end up lining up.
By default, this is turned on, but it can be disabled (via the View menu)
if it adds too much visual noise.
* Reshuffled code for existing "View Frame" implementations, and removed leftover
comment from some of the the copy-and-paste used to build it.
* Added support for this operator in the NLA and Timeline
To help make it more convenient to edit stashed actions, Shift-Tab
(i.e. holding down the Shift key, which "tabbing" into tweakmode as
usual to edit the action referenced by the active NLA strip) now flags
the NLA Track that the strip occupies as being "solo" too.
This allows you to use the NLA to select a stashed action, then Shift-Tab
to start editing it without any other actions in the NLA stack interfering.
Like the "Next/Previous Layer" tools in the Action Editor, this is designed
to help with checking on stashed actions.
For now, did most of the changes in menu entries (i.e. py space UI scripts).
Note we do not get 100% same results as previously, but current situation is
globally better than previous one, though the whole system to retrieve shortcuts
remains a bit weak...
Organize Maximize/Fullscreen mess and add a new fullscreen mode with no UI
* Maximize Editor: (old Ctrl+Up)
* Full Screen Window: (old Alt + F11)
* Full Screen Editor: new operator (Alt + F10)
* Change Show/Hide Header: (Alt + F9)
When the mode is on moving the mouse near the top right corner of the
editor shows an icon to go back to the normal editor mode.
This was originally intended for the multiview branch, but this
functionality also benefits non-stereo workflows, thus it can be
reviewed and committed independently.
Development notes:
* This includes cleanups in the code to sanitize the naming of
fullscreen/maximize across the window/editor code.
* Originally the idea was to make the window fullscreen as well, but
this idea was dropped.
* You can see the clicking area when debug is 1
* Technically the user can be left with an unfaded icon in the corner
(specially when using a tablet). If we think this is too bad we can
increase the action zone to be the whole screen, or something similar.

It is sometimes possible to end up with a lot of datablocks which have old + unused
"AnimData" containers still attached. This most commonly happens when doing motion
graphics work (i.e. when some linked-in objects may have previously been used to develop
a set of reusable assets), and is particularly distracting in the NLA Editor.
This commit adds an operator which removes AnimData blocks (restricted to only those
which are visible in the animation editor where it is run from) which are "empty"
(i.e. that is, have no active action, drivers, and nla tracks or strips).
This operator can be found from the "Edit" menu in the NLA Editor. Although it also
works when run from the DopeSheet or Graph Editors, it is of less use there since
those won't show these empty AnimData blocks by default (since by definition, such
AnimData blocks necesarily have no keyframes or drivers that can be shown), hence
there will be no feedback if the operator fails or succeeds.
