The name and tooltip were talking about file-lists, which exposes the
fact that the Asset Browser uses the File Browser code in the UI, which
we shouldn't do. This can confuse users.
Instead have a dedicated operator for the Asset Browser with a proper
name and tooltip.
This patch adds support for selecting pointclouds.
Since pointclouds were not properly drawn to the selection buffer (as diagonsed by output from `glReadPixels` and Renderdoc), they were not able to be selectable by depth picking or occlusion queries. In `basic_engine`, objects were rendered with a shader which draws to a depth buffer but only assumes a single position vertex attribute. Pointclouds, though, require at least another vertex attribute `pos_inst` which provides the instance offsets. Thus, this patch adds another shader variant for pointclouds which supports these two attributes and renders the points appropriately.

Before this, the search button was quite small really, not much text would fit
into it. Increase the size a bit, but not too much to still make the layout
work in smaller area sizes.
These nodes allow accessing and changing the stable/random ID used
for motion blur with instances and stable randomness.
Since rB40c3b8836b7a, the stable ID is a built-in attribute, so to be
consistent and allow changing it in the node tree like other built-in
attributes, it has get and set nodes.
Now that object assets are no longer considered experimental, the Assets
submenu can always be shown (regardless of the Extended Asset Browser
experimental feature).
In the 3D Viewport, add an "Assets" submenu to the Objects menu, for the
same operators as available in the outliner: Mark as Asset, Clear Asset,
Clear Asset (Set Fake User).
Since object assets are still considered experimental, the menu is only
shown when the Extended Asset Browser experimental feature is enabled.
In future use cases, a volume can contain many grids that represent the
density information. In this case, it's better if the volume to mesh node
creates a mesh based on all of the grids in the volume.
This is also a benefit to share-ability, since one doesn't have to
specify the grid name in the node. Instead, in the future we can have
a way to split particular grids into separate volumes, if only one
grid should be considered.
The code changes are relatively simple:
- Move the old volume to mesh node to the legacy folder.
- Run the volume to mesh node on all instance geometry, like elsewhere.
- Make the blenkernel's volume to mesh API a bit more specific.

Cycles:Distance Scrambling for Cycles Sobol Sampler
This option implements micro jittering an is based on the INRIA
research paper [[ https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01325702/document | on micro jittering ]]
and work by Lukas Stockner for implementing the scrambling distance.
It works by controlling the correlation between pixels by either using
a user supplied value or an adaptive algorithm to limit the maximum
deviation of the sample values between pixels.

Currently, both inactive and active tabs are using the `Region Text` theme property.
This patch makes it so active tabs use `Region Text Highlight`.
Since this check is done in other places already but was simply missing in this case, I believe this was just an oversight and not a design decision.
Top is master, bottom is this patch:
{F11520838, size=full}
This allows this kind of tab highlight, not possible before since all tabs would have white text.

Avoid blocking the UI when searching for animation channels with Ctrl+F.
Instead of showing a single text input in a blocking popup, Ctrl+F now
just focuses the search box above the channel list. It feels nicer to
use and has the niceties that come from using that textbox, like
searching per keystroke, compared to the old pop-up method.
As the behaviour of the operator has changed considerably, this also
changes the operator name from `anim.channels_find` to
`anim.channels_select_filter` and updates the keymaps.

This patch makes the background grid of the node editor a grid of dots
instead of lines. This makes the background look a bit more subtle and
reduces visual complexity. The dots are meant to provide a reference
when panning and zooming. Based on the design of @pablovazquez, and
a patch originally authored by @fabian_schempp.
The "Grid Levels" controls how many levels of dots are drawn. As the
editor zooms in, the higher levels of dots fade in, making them closer
together visually. The zoom factor at which each grid starts and ends
fading in is controllable in the code, and could be tweaked further
in the future. The new default value is 7, out of a range from 0 to 9.

This patch makes the layout of the custom property panel more coherent
with the rest of the property editor interface, makes it less busy,
allows more space for the buttons for the actual properties, and
simplifies editing values of unsupported property types or long arrays.
- Remove the box around each property.
- Use an non-embossed X icon for deleting.
- Use an "edit" icon instead of the text for the meta-data edit operator.
The "gear" icon used for editing isn't ideal here.
- Increase the max array length for drawing the values directly to 8.
- Add an "Edit Property Value" operator for dictionaries or longer arrays.
- Replace the "Library Override" text with an icon.
- Use a proper split factor, the same as the rest of the UI.

The NLA editor is in need of a design overhaul, hopefully for 3.1 or 3.2.
This should be a project on itself, however, the worst offender currently is the use of
gradients on strips. Something that can be fixed easily.
{F11390293, size=full, loop, autoplay}
A simple replace of `UI_draw_roundbox_shade_x` for `UI_draw_roundbox_4fv` brings strips
in line with how other areas are drawn.
This patch also:
* Remove embossed lines around active action channel.
* Highlight the strip while being moved.
This patch does not include any theme changes. This will be tackled separately.

This adds a new image texture node for geometry nodes. It does not
reuse the same node that is used in shading, because we want to be
able to expose the image and frame as sockets.
There is a known update issue when a movie or image sequence is
used. That will be fixed separately (also see D12957).
Currently, the image socket is just a pointer to an Image ID data block.
This can contain single images but also movies and image sequences.
In the future, the definition of an image socket can be expanded to
include images that are generated from scratch in the node tree.
For more details read the discussion in D12827.
Some of the code is a direct port from cycles and should be cleaned
up a bit in the future. For example `image_cubic_texture_lookup`.
For still images, the frame input is ignored. Otherwise, the frame
has to be in a valid range for the node to work. In the future we
may add e.g. automatic looping functionality.
