### Summary
A small fix / addition to Node Wrangler operators.py, specifically the
nw_merge_node operation. I added support for merging nodes with
boolean sockets, which used to not respond to nw_merge_nodes / nw_lazy_mix.
### Motivation
As a user, I found it frustrating that I couldn't use lazy mix on boolean
nodes, as geonodes-heavy projects relied on them, and required adding
Boolean Math nodes often.
I intuitively expected it to add a Boolean Math node, which is the most
similar to Math Add for floats & Join Geometry for geometry.
### Implementation
A boolean nodes list is created when the rest of the lists are cerated,
nodes with boolean outputs get added to it, it's taken into consideration
when checking if PASS_THROUGH, then if we didn't PASS_THROUGH,
a Boolean Math node is created, similar to the existing options.
When the user uses a math merge shortcut (ctrl+0, ctrl+*, etc), the
code ignores it, adds Boolean Math anyway.

This enables drag-n-drop support for the `import_curve.svg` operator.
Since the existing `Import SVG as Grease Pencil` operator handles the
same file type, when dropping `.svg` files this will prompt to choose
between theses 2 operators.
See PR for examples and notes on eventually changing the operator
description.

When dropping an extension onto Blender, the URL lookup would print
errors to the STDOUT if a repository directory was missing.
While this didn't break installation, these kinds of errors should
only be shown when the directory is expected to exist.
The issue was raised in #141212.
The base URL was used when reporting errors accessing a URL,
use the full URL being accessed instead since anything else
is misleading, the full URL is needed to troubleshoot issues.
I18n: Translate a few messages
- Translate add-on types in the user preferences.
- Translate a report which uses formatting.
- Do not translate scene names in `sequencer.scene_strip_add` operator
UI.
- Do translate the type of new scene in
`sequencer.scene_strip_add_new` operator.
- Translate Half and Float image format color depth enum items.
- Translate Mix node header with non-color data types.
- Translate sequencer modifiers' names if data translation is enabled.
Most issues reported by Ye Gui in #43295.

This changes the naming of "Custom Split Normals" or "Split Normals" to be "Custom Normals"
This addresses #134744, only UI naming has been adjusted.
Internal/External APIs are left unchanged.

The grid layout type for UI list is planned for removal in 5.0, see
blender/blender#110461.
In previous UI meetings, we talked about deprecating the Grid mode of
the UI list, which is not actually accessible in UI and was never used.
Nowadays, there is a new grid view that can be exposed in the API in
the future.
Initially, I wanted to remove references to layout_type in UI templates
in the text editor, because a lot of add-on developers on the
extensions platform base their lists on that code, and a lot of them
are therefore including soon to be deprecated code in their add-ons,
which I want to avoid in the future. But I thought we might as well
remove it from our python scripts as well, since it's just basically
redundant code that doesn't do anything. And also because many add-on
developers use bundled python scripts for references as well.

This is replaced by geometry nodes, where volumes can now be generated from
point clouds and meshes with more control, and more efficient rendering as a
sparse volume.
No backwareds compatibility is provided, as this would be complicated, and
probably this feature was not used much in the past few years.
This node was supported in Cycles only, not by EEVEE.

This changes the engine identifier back to `BLENDER_EEVEE`.
We keep the `BLENDER_EEVEE_NEXT` identifier around for
versioning reasons (have to detect when it is the active
engine of a older file).
This also rename a bunch of pannels that were using `next`
in their name.
This is a breaking change for Addons compatibility.

This is part of the short term roadmap goal of simplifying the
compositor workflow
(see https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/134214).
The problem is that many users don't know how to get started with
compositing in Blender, even when they have used Blender for other
areas, e.g. modeling.
Note: although the solution makes compositor node trees reusable
accross blend files, this is a nice side effect and not the main goal
of the PR.
This PR implements a "New" button that creates a new compositing node
tree, and manages trees as IDs. This has following advantages:
- Consistent with other node editors and other parts of Blender,
therefore making it easier to getting started with compositing if users
are familiar with shading or geometry nodes
- Give users the ability to reuse the compositing node tree by linking
or appending it.
Note: The parameter "Use Nodes" is still present in this PR, but will
be removed (in a backward compatible way) in a follow up PR.
