Using the button context for operators is useful for other cases as well (where
the operator isn't the button operator itself). For example we'll need this for
the asset view UI template, where there will be additional operators that
should be able to act on button context.
Allow python access to the `reset_view` functionality which before
was only available through the menu. This was suggested for
consistency after D10561.

Data-block selectors (or other selectors using the
`UILayout.teamplate_search` or `UILayout.template_search_preview`)
in headers used a fixed size width for the name button. Often that meant
the text would be clipped to fit even though there was plenty of
whitespace surrounding the data-block selector.
Now the name button can increase in width with the contained string,
clamped to some arbitrary and quite big maximum (3 times the minimum
width).
We could further take the available space into account, to reduce the
need for scrolling in the header. But I don't think that is much of an
issue and the name clipping it would re-introduce would probably be more
annoying.

In the current implementation, cryptomatte passes are connected to the node
and elements are picked by using the eyedropper tool on a special pick channel.
This design has two disadvantages - both connecting all passes individually
and always having to switch to the picker channel are tedious.
With the new design, the user selects the RenderLayer or Image from which the
Cryptomatte layers are directly loaded (the type of pass is determined by an
enum). This allows the node to automatically detect all relevant passes.
Then, when using the eyedropper tool, the operator looks up the selected
coordinates from the picked Image, Node backdrop or Clip and reads the picked
object directly from the Renderlayer/Image, therefore allowing to pick in any
context (e.g. by clicking on the Combined pass in the Image Viewer). The
sampled color is looked up in the metadata and the actual name is stored
in the cryptomatte node. This also allows to remove a hash by just removing
the name from the matte id.
Technically there is some loss of flexibility because the Cryptomatte pass
inputs can no longer be connected to other nodes, but since any compositing
done on them is likely to break the Cryptomatte system anyways, this isn't
really a concern in practise.
In the future, this would also allow to automatically translate values to names
by looking up the value in the associated metadata of the input, or to get a
better visualization of overlapping areas in the Pick output since we could
blend colors now that the output doesn't have to contain the exact value.

This commit adds an operator to the RMB-menu "Copy Full Data Path“,
to copy the full RNA path to the clipboard. It aims to complement
"Copy Data Path“, which only copies the part of the path that is needed
for drivers, but for writing addons, etc. it is useful to have an option that
gives the full data path.
Similar patch have been submitted before, see D763 and D2746
This time I did not split the operator (as D2746) and does not contain the UI reorganization (as D763)
Note, the fixes from D2746 were committed in rB09eac0159db8 so that patch can be closed.

I landed D10527 in rB1a8aee0a7cec accidentally, and the version there was
missing a name change discussed in review. This commit just renames the
boolean variable controlling the special behavior for attribute search.
Original message meant for this change:
For geometry nodes we will use search buttons to display a list of
attributes available the last time the node tree was executed (D10519).
Because this list is just a hint, we need to be able to enter any string,
not just strings from the search items.
This patch adds a boolean option to string buttons to enable this.
The change is quite simple, changes to behavior are only required in
two places. The type-specific button struct changes help a lot here.

Currently when you open an RNA collection search button, like a
vertex group selector, the search filter isn't applied until you
start typing, in order to display every option at the start.
Otherwise they wouldn't be visible, since the search filter would
run for the current text.
Currently this check happens in one place, but it relies on the
`changed` value of `uiBut`. This is fine in the interface directory,
but anywhere else it would require exposing `uiBut.changed`, which
is probably too low-level to expose.
The solution is adding an `is_first` argument to the search callbacks,
which is nice for a few reasons:
- They work at a higher level of abstraction, meaning they don't
have to worry about how exactly to tell if this is the first
search.
- It makes it easier to do special behavior when the search menu
is first opened.
- Then, obviously, it makes that state accessible without including
`interface_intern.h`.

Render previews for Action datablocks by rendering the scene camera with
the Workbench (solid) engine. The //look// can be configured by setting
the scene's render engine to Workbench and editing the scene's shading
properties.
It is assumed that the pose has already been applied and that the scene
camera is capturing the pose. In other words, the render function just
renders from the scene camera without evaluating/applying the Action
stored in `preview->id`. The ID is only used to determine its type and
to store the resulting preview.
Not all code paths that lead to the `action_preview_render()` function
actually provide a depsgraph. The "Refresh Asset Preview" button
(`ED_OT_lib_id_generate_preview`) does, but `WM_OT_previews_ensure` does
not.

Previously the padding size and the width saved for the icon were
constant regardless of the zoom level. This resulted in overlapping
icons and text, and ugly padding with more extreme zoom levels.
We can retrieve the size of the row from the `rect` argument.
The "quick setup" dialog is actually a 'menu', and the "splash screen" block
contains the UI_BLOCK_LOOP flag which causes the buttons' text to align
to the left, however, usually regular buttons have centered text.
As a workaround, add the UI_BLOCK_QUICK_SETUP flag which prevents
the text from being left-aligned.

When creating a number slider via `layout.prop(..., slider=True)`, the UI code
would reallocate the number button to be a number-slider button. That's because
we now actually have different button data-structures for these (see
e6f0b60c2e). The edit source code stored data based on the button pointers,
which didn't get updated after changing the type. The fix just adds this
updating.
