This reduces the time needed to get to the first pixel
on screen by multithreading the builtin shader compilation.
We avoid doing this if subprocess compilation is on as
the overhead of potentially partially starting all subprocess
is far greater than the benefit of paralllel compilation.
For some reasons, the compilation is much slower when
done async for these shaders (on Metal ~200ms > ~1.2ms),
so the saving might not be substantial.

Edit the language list to make it simpler to scan.
- Display languages in a form "Language (Variant)", such as
"English (US)" instead of "American English" and
"Portuguese (Brazil)" instead of "Brazilian Portuguese".
This allows alphabetical sorting by language first.
This does not apply to endonyms (languages in their own language).
- Use a dash instead of parentheses to separate the endonyms.
- Deduplicate languages (Automatic, American English, British
English), which all are in English and don't appear in another
language.
- Remove language categories as headers. They are replaced with
percentages in the language tooltips. The percentages are
generated in utils_languages_menu.py and stored in
locale/languages.

The Extend Bounds input has no effect when the Fast Gaussian filter is
used. Similarly, it has no effect if the Bokeh Blur node is using
variable size. This is a known limitation and was just not implemented.
So to fix this, we implement a general solution that works globally
across the node by pre-padding the inputs of the blur. This uses more
memory but also speeds up the base case when Extend Bounds is disabled,
while also reducing the binary size due to fewer blur specializations.
The variable size Bokeh Blur test was updated since it Extend Bounds was
silently ignored.

Instead of allowing leaks when parsing arguments, always cleanup before
calling exit(). This impacts -a (animation player), --help & --version
arguments, as well as scripts executed via --python which meant tests
that ran scripts could leak memory without raising an error as intended.
Avoid having suppress warnings & rationalize in code-comments when
leaking memory is/isn't acceptable, any leaks from the animation-player
are now reported as well.
This change exposed leaks: !140182, !140116.

When switching render output between different formats (e.g.
ffmpeg video and png images), the previously used ffmpeg settings
were lost if audio codec was set to "No Audio" (which is the default).

When creating a Combine Bundle node using link-drag-search from a
bundle-input-socket, the new node will be initialized to have all the sockets
that linked Separate Bundle nodes have. This uses the same mechanism that's used
for creating closure zones, so it works even if the Separate Bundle node is in
some nested node group.

When calculating the cavity factor, it is possible for the relative
distance of all traversed connected vertices to be zero. This results in
a division by zero which does not get clamped correctly to the expected
[0.0, 1.0] bounds. Prior to 4.2, this would have had no effect, as the
processing of this vertex would be have been skipped entirely. Due to
changes during the brush refactor, this flaw in the existing code was
exposed.

This patch removes the older handle selection and transformation logic,
which was accessible through user preferences by switching off the
default "simple tweaking" mode in Editing -> Video Sequencer.
There was some initial bugginess with the new handle behavior, hence
the option to revert to legacy mode, but with recent updates this no
longer applies. With the new system, all selection workflows
are still possible -- this just drops older code to make things simpler.
No functional changes intended.

Usually, this enum should only ever be compared with `==`.
Confusingly, however, to check if a strip is an effect, one must
'bitwise-and' it instead. This can backfire if e.g. one tries to do
(strip->type & STRIP_TYPE_IMAGE) which doesn't work.
Make sure we only ever 'and' against the type enum when checking if
it is an effect. There was only this one case that didn't adhere.
Partial revert of 5102880f51. That commit decreased pen tablet drag
threshold as pressure is added. Unfortunately, although this allowed a
quicker response to start of drag, this also increased the difficultly
of initiating a press when both actions are available. With numerical
inputs for example, although dragging is more responsive clicking into
the input to edit was more difficult.

The multiplane scrape brush uses two separate distances, one in world

The tabs in the sidebar are aligned to the content, which looks great
when region overlap is off, but when it isn't, it looks like the tabs
are attaching to nothing. Solve this by drawing sidebar tabs as pills,
when using region overlap. This matches the top-bar workspace tabs.

Similar to the recent fix 457cccd964.
There was another code path which could pass in the wrong time into USD
for certain Mesh Sequence Cache scenarios.
I was not able to craft a faulty scenario by hand to observe a real
problem though. The scenario begins by importing a USD file needing a
Mesh Sequence Cache modifier and then attaching a particle system (like
Hair) to the object. This will trigger the specific check calling into
`can_use_mesh_for_orco_evaluation` with the wrong time.
This makes the code path more explicit and passes in the correct time to
USD regardless now e.g. frame 28 vs time 1.166666666666667 (24fps)

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.

Prevent race conditions caused by calling `GPUWorker::wake_up` when the
worker is not waiting.
Found to be an issue in #139627, since `wake_up` is likely to be called
before the thread has fully started.

be injected in a predefined source dependance tree.
This allow much cleaner shader workflow where

main source file.

This prevents the use of unaligned data types in
vertex formats. These formats are not supported on many
platform.
This simplify the `GPUVertexFormat` class a lot as
we do not need packing shenanigans anymore and just
compute the vertex stride.
The old enums are kept for progressive porting of the
backends and user code.
This will break compatibility with python addons.

When pressing Ctrl to snap the playhead while scrubbing,
Blender could crash while trying to snap to the first key.
This would happen if the current frame was higher than the
left keyframe, but the difference was less than the `BEZT_BINARYSEARCH_THRESH`.

In Grease Pencil, when using the tools in Sculpt Mode and Vertex Paint
mode, the check on editable layers wasn't entirely accurate. There was
a strict check on an editable _active_ layer, but since the tools work
on _all_ editable layers, the check should be wider: if there is _any_
editable layer, the tool can work.
That is fixed in this PR. Now the tools can be used when, for example,
a layer group is active or when the active layer is hidden, but there
are other editable layers present.
In Vertex Paint mode there was an additional issue: with Auto Keying
enabled, a new keyframe was created for the active layer only. A new
keyframe should be created for _every_ editable layer. As is the case
now with this PR.

By definition, Bounds for single points (size zero) are empty (this
matches BLI_rct behavior), so doing an intersect will actually fail.
So to resolve, use the existing `is_point_inside_bounds` for single-
point-curves.
