The bl_info dictionary is deprecated for most extensions, but it is
still used for core add-ons and since Node Wrangler is now built-in,
it should be marked as official.
The reason for this change is actually that it enables translation of
the Node Wrangler UI, because add-ons below official support level
were never considered for translation.
-----
The reason only OFFICIAL add-ons are translated is that they are enabled [here](4f36fb1afe/scripts/modules/bl_i18n_utils/bl_extract_messages.py (L1052)) during message extraction.

Previously these were shown as missing add-ons, since they have been
intentionally removed, remove them as part of versioning instead
of showing them as "Missing Add-ons". This is especially important
for X3D & STL which were enabled by default which meant any user
loading 4.1 preferences would have them shown as missing add-ons.
Local repositories no longer convert manifest files into a JSON file
(that matched the format of the remote repositories JSON data).
Instead the data is loaded directly from the manifest files.
This is necessary to support read-only "System" repositories.
Use a class to generalize loading from both data sources to simplify the
implementation which was previously inlined.
This fixes an error where stale data from the manifests was
sometimes used because the generated JSON was considered up to date.
- "Show the result of running commands in the main interface...": add
punctuation.
- "Re-Installed" -> "Reinstalled" seems more common.
- "increase_" and "decrease_subdivision" in the Grease Pencil
modal...: use title case instead of snake case for label.
- "Use a automatic number..." -> "an", typo.
- "... points,{} splines": missing space.
- "End Frame is larger than Start Frame": wrong order in error message.
- "Approximate the object as sphere, which diameter is equal to
thickness the defined...": grammar.
- "Show Seconds" -> "Use Timecode": this option is not necessarily about
seconds. Suggested by Pablo Vasquez.
- Brightness and contrast node input descriptions: add missing spaces.
- "Gamma controls the relative intensity... full white.": remove
trailing ".".

The pose library now uses the asset shelf and has a dedicated context menu for
that. This UI-list context menu for the asset view template isn't in use
anymore. Neither are the custom properties that were only necessary for the
template.

The old add-ons UI had a "Refresh" operator that would re-scan
the file-system and show any changes.
Add an equivalent operator that works for both extensions and legacy
add-ons and add it to the extension menu.
This is useful for a few situations:
- Refresh based on changes to "System" repositories which are read-only
from Blender and intended to be manipulated outside of Blender.
- Anyone managing their own "User" repository.
- For developers to create extensions, where re-starting to see changes
to meta-data is inconvenient.
- Troubleshooting problems parsing extension meta-data as problems are
reported to the operator.
The following operations have been removed for system repositories:
- Installing from disk.
- Uninstall extensions.
- Delete files (when removing the repository).
Also change the operator to remove a repository so the option to
remove files is now a boolean instead of an enum. While a dynamic
enum can be made to work, this option is logically a boolean.
Since these actions are no longer blocking, 100 times a second could
add unnecessary overhead (although updates are only shown when changes
are detected). Nevertheless, reduce the frequency to 10 times a second.
When installing extensions, the user could exit Blender which wasn't
being handled properly - the processes would be left running and raise
a broken pipe error (on Linux).
Resolve this by canceling the processes, matching the behavior of when
escape is pressed.
This means exiting Blender while installing/updating wont leave the
repositories in an unknown state.
Disabling the last Subdivision Surface modifier was removed by mistake
in
blender/blender-addons/commit/bc801d7b1dad4be446435e0cab4d3a80e6bb1d04
This patch restores the mistakenly removed code that disables the last
Subdivision Surface modifier when the option to export FBX Subdivision
Surface is enabled.
The add-on's patch version has been increased.
