Since we are removing `scene.use_nodes` in #143578, most developers
will have to update their python script by replacing `scene.node_tree`
by `scene.compositing_node_group` in order to create a new compositing
node tree anyways. So we remove `scene.node_tree`.
Note: `scene->nodetree` in `scene_blend_write()` is still being written
to the blend file, so forward compatibility is not affected by this PR.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/143619
Use Nodes were removed in d88d4cc8 from the UI, but marked deprecated
in Python API. Since we decided to remove `world.use_nodes` and
`material.use_nodes` for the shader editor (instead of deprecating
them), we also remove `scene.use_nodes`.
This PR only replaces the deprecated `scene.node_tree` with
`scene.compositing_node_group` where necessary. #143619 will fully
remove `node_tree`

This commit cleanly splits IDProperties storage for its two very different
usages:
* "User-defined" data, also known as "custom properties". Mostly exposed
in UI and as 'dictionary' in Python scripting, these are unique to each data
(each object can have its own set of custom properties).
* "System-defined" data, mainly as backend-storage for runtime RNA
structures and properties. While these are not necessarily present in the
storage, they are registered for a data type, and therefore always available
to all data of that type through RNA access.
See #123232 for rationales, designs and alternative investigated solutions.
## User-facing Changes
When using Blender, the only noticeable change is that python-defined RNA
data are not listed anymore in the Custom Properties panels (e.g. Cycles
data).
From a Python API perspective, the main changes are:
* Runtime RNA structs defined by sub-classing `PropertyGroup` and
registering them are no more accessible through the 'dict' syntax.
* They remain accessible through a dedicated 'bl_system_properties_get()`
callback, but its usages are only expected to be for testing and
debugging.
* The result of this call will be `None` by default when there has been
nothing written into it yet, unless its optional `do_create` parameter
is set to `True`.
* Some types (like `Node`, `UIList`, etc.) cannot store raw IDProperties
anymore (using the 'dict' syntax).
## Technical Details
* Adds System idprops to some data types (IDs, ViewLayer...).
* Moves some other containers (e.g operator properties, or some UI types like
UILists) to only have system-defined properties.
* For a few specific types (like `PropertyGroup`), the same storage is used,
but exposed in RNA as both user and system properties.
* Adds RNA API accessor callback to system idprops.
* Adds a function `bl_system_properties_get()`, which wraps system-defined
idprops and gives 'dict-like' access to them. Currently mainly used by some
unittests.
* System IDProps are always ignored by RNA diffing code (and therefore
liboverride processing), as their value is already exposed through RNA
properties, and should always be processed through these RNA properties.
* Modifies bpy rna binding to use these new system idprops for property
accesses, and keeps using user-defined idprops for 'dict-type' accesses.
* Handles versioning by copying 'user idprops' (existing ones) into new
'system idprops'.
### IDProperties Split
These types keep their historic IDProperty storage for user properties,
and get a new `system_id_properties` storage for system properties:
`ID`, `ViewLayers`, `Bone`, `EditBone`, `BoneCollection`, `PoseBone`, `Strip`
These types can both be extended with registrable RNA properties, and
expose Custom Properties in the UI.
### IDProperties become System Ones
These types keep a single IDProperties storage (their DNA struct does not
change), but it is now exclusively used for system-defined properties.
`OperatorProperty`, `View3DShading`, `UIList`, `AddonPreferences`,
`KeyConfigPreferences`, `GizmoProperties`, `GizmoGroupProperties`,
`Node`, `NodeSocket`, `NodeTreeInterfaceSocket`, `TimelineMarker`,
`AssetMetaData``
Since user properties were never available in the UI for them, they lose
their 'dict-like' IDProperties access in the Python API.
### Single Storage, Exposed as Both in API
These types still use a single IDProperty storage, but expose it both as
user properties and as system ones through RNA API.
* `PropertyGroup`: They need both access APIs since they are both
used for raw IDProperty groups (the 'dict-like' access), and
internally to access data of runtime-defined RNA structs.
* `IDPropertyWrapPtr`: Done mainly to follow `PropertyGroup`.
* `NodesModifier`: cannot become purely system idprops currently, as
there is no other access than the 'raw ID properties' paths to their
values. This can be changed once #132129 is finally implemented.

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
rB133dde41bb5b changed handling of (in)directly linked status handling
for IDs, now IDs that are not directly linked get proper status and
handling on file save. this broke parts of the `pyapi_idprop_datablock`
tests.
Use a shorter/simpler license convention, stops the header taking so
much space.
Follow the SPDX license specification: https://spdx.org/licenses

- Python
- Shell Scripts
- CMake, GNUmakefile
While most of the source tree has been included
- `./extern/` was left out.
- `./intern/cycles` & `./intern/atomic` are also excluded because they
use different header conventions.
doc/license/SPDX-license-identifiers.txt has been added to list SPDX all
used identifiers.
See P2788 for the script that automated these edits.

As part of expected behavior this printed an exception,
making it seem as if there was an error in the test.
Now the exception is suppressed from the output, ensuring it matches
an the expected output.
Main change from user side, besides that all pointers should now be
properly remapped to new IDs, is that linked objects are no longer
preserved when doing a full copy of scenes.
Will open a task to check whether we actually still want that behavior
(and re-code it in a more correct way then).
This is the main part of work done here, it aims at uniformizing and
sanitizing that 'deep copy' process for supported IDs (currently scenes,
collections and objects).
Note that there will be more follow up commits after that one, but this
should be the most risky and changing one.
Blender was not configured to exit with non-zero return code on Python errors.
A bunch of tests worked around this but not all. This removes the need for such
workarounds.
We still had a few deprecated assignements of `bpy.props.xxx` to class
members in our API documentation and one of our py tests. Annotations
are to be used now.
Also remove the section about `register_module` utils, this has been
removed in 2.8.

The absence of datablock properties "will certainly be resolved soon as the need for them is becoming obvious" said the [[http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.67/Python_Nodes|Python Nodes release notes]]. So this patch allows Python scripts to create ID Properties which reference datablocks.
This functionality is implemented for `PointerProperty` and now such properties can be created with Python.
In addition to the standard update callback, `PointerProperty` can have a `poll` callback (standard RNA) which is useful for search menus. For details see the test included in this patch.
