When Browsing libraries the asset files were opened multiple times.
once to determine the needed groups to query and once for each
group to query the items in the group. For file browsing this makes sense

This patch will load the asset files recursively and only opens them once.
Another change is that only the assets are requested and not filtered out

This implements the update logic for the vizualization of which
sockets pass data or constants directly, and which pass functions.
The socket shapes may still have to be updated. That should be
done separately, because it might be a bit more involved, because
socket shapes are currently linked to keyframe shapes. Currently
the circle and diamond shapes are used with the following meanings:
- Input Sockets:
- Circle: Required to be a single value.
- Diamond: This input supports fields.
- Output Sockets:
- Circle: This output is a single value.
- Diamond: This output may be a field.
Connecting a field to a circle input socket is an error, since a
field cannot be converted to a single value. If the socket shape
is a diamond with a dot in the middle, it means it is currently
a single value, but could be a field.
In addition to socket shapes, the intention is to draw node links
differently based on the field status. However, the exact method for
conveying that isn't decided yet.

This follows three main targets:
* Make creation of new tree UIs easy.
* Groundwork to generalize tree UIs (so e.g. Outliner, animation
channels, asset catalogs and spreadsheet data-sets don't have to
re-implement basic tree UI code) or even other data-view UIs.
* Better separate data and UI state. E.g. with this, tree-item selection
or the open/collapsed state can be stored on the UI level, rather than
in data. (Asset Catalogs need this, storing UI state info in them is
not an option.)
In addition, the design should be well testable and could even be
exposed to Python.
Note that things will likely change in master still. E.g. the actually
resulting UI isn't very nice visually yet.
The design is documented here:

No functional change.
The shader is complicated by itself, having hardcoded values makes it
even more cryptic.
I also renamed the shader because the shader is not for the keyfarme diamond only,
but for all the keyframe shapes.

Choosing a UV layer would actually affect the overlay in the viewport
and also painting with the mask brush was in that UV space, but the
resulting stencil mask was always applied with the active UV (not the
explicitly selected stencil UV -- the one one is looking at in the
viewport!) to painting.
This has been like that as far as I have checked back (at least 2.79b),
I am surprised this has not come up before, but it does not seem to make
sense at all...
Now use the UV specified for the stencil layer when applying the mask for
painting, so it corresponds to the stencil mask one is looking at in the
viewport.

Catalogs work like directories on disk (without hard-/symlinks), in that
an asset is only contained in one catalog.
See T90066 for design considerations.
#### Known Limitations
Only a single catalog definition file (CDF), is supported, at
`${ASSET_LIBRARY_ROOT}/blender_assets.cats.txt`. In the future this is
to be expanded to support arbitrary CDFs (like one per blend file, one
per subdirectory, etc.).
The current implementation is based on the asset browser, which in
practice means that the asset browser owns the `AssetCatalogService`
instance for the selected asset library. In the future these instances
will be accessible via a less UI-bound asset system.
The UI is still very rudimentary, only showing the catalog ID for the
currently selected asset. Most notably, the loaded catalogs are not
shown yet. The UI is being implemented and will be merged soon.
#### Catalog Identifiers
Catalogs are internally identified by UUID. In older designs this was a
human-readable name, which has the problem that it has to be kept in
sync with its semantics (so when renaming a catalog from X to Y, the
UUID can be kept the same).
Since UUIDs don't communicate any human-readable information, the
mapping from catalog UUID to its path (stored in the Catalog Definition
File, CDF) is critical for understanding which asset is stored in which
human-readable catalog. To make this less critical, and to allow manual
data reconstruction after a CDF is lost/corrupted, each catalog also has
a "simple name" that's stored along with the UUID. This is also stored
on each asset, next to the catalog UUID.
#### Writing to Disk
Before saving asset catalogs to disk, the to-be-overwritten file gets
inspected. Any new catalogs that are found thre are loaded to memory
before writing the catalogs back to disk:
- Changed catalog path: in-memory data wins
- Catalogs deleted on disk: they are recreated based on in-memory data
- Catalogs deleted in memory: deleted on disk as well
- New catalogs on disk: are loaded and thus survive the overwriting
#### Tree Design
This implements the initial tree structure to load catalogs into. See
T90608, and the basic design in T90066.

Outliner tree building code abuse the `ID.newid` pointer to store non-ID
data. While this is bad and should be fixed at some point, for the time
being at the very least do not use ID BKE API to deal with this pointer
in that specific case, this needs its own proper code.
This commit adds warning messages to "legacy" nodes that will be
removed in the future. The warning is shown in the node header, but
it is not printed in the terminal or displayed in the modifier. It is
also not propogated to node groups, but that is a more general task.
If the modifier's node tree has executed a deprecated node, it will
display a warning and a "Search" button that will select the nodes and
pan to them in the node editor. This doesn't open child node trees and
select nodes in there, because I want to keep this operator simple and
avoid wasting a lot of time perfecting this behavior.

Draw thumbnails as strip overlay. This works for movie and image strips.
To draw thumbnails, this overlay has to be enabled and strips must be
tall enough.
The thumbnails are loaded from source file using separate thread and
stored in cache.
Drawing code uses only images stored in cache, and if any is missing,
background rendering job is started. If job can not render thumbnail,
to prevent endless loop of creating job for missing image it sets
`SEQ_FLAG_SKIP_THUMBNAILS` bit of `Sequence` flag.
To prevent visual glitches during timeline panning and zooming, `View2D`
flag `V2D_IS_NAVIGATING` is implemented. If bit is set, drawing code
will look for set of evenly distributed thumbnails that should be
guaranteed to exist and also set of previously displayed thumbnails.
Due to volatile nature of cache these thumbnails can be missing anyway,
in which case no new thumbnails will be drawn for particular strip.
Cache capacity is limited to 5000 thumbnails and performs cleanup of
non visible images when limit is reached.

Expose a key-map preference "Fallback Tool (RMB)",
disabled by default.
The right mouse button uses the fallback tool
(currently visible selection tool in the toolbar),
instead of always tweaking.
When any selection tool is active, right mouse always tweaks.
To enable fallback selection on RMB, set the "Right Mouse Select Action"
to "Selection Tool".
Internal changes:
- Add fall-back key-maps, separate key-maps needed for when the tool is
run as a fall-back. This is needed so RMB-select can support fall-back
tools, so left-mouse can be used when it's the active tool and RMB
can be used as a fall-back action when another tool is active.
- Add options field to tools so tools without gizmos can enable the
full-back tool keymap.
- Support multiple key-maps for keymap handlers.
- Fall-back keymaps now co-exist with the tool-keymaps.
So both keymaps may be active at once - using different mouse buttons.
When gizmos are in use, a highlighted gizmo prioritizes the
tool-keymap over the fall-back keymap.

Some selection operators return (PASS_THROUGH & FINISHED) so the tweak
event isn't suppressed from the PRESS event having been handled.
This is now restricted to events with a PRESS action.
Without this, using CLICK for selection was passing the event through

There may be mode specific panels for some assets in the navigation or
the asset metadata sidebar. For example the pose library will likely do
this. So let the regions redraw on mode changes.
It's equivalent to the OpenImageDenoise prefiltering option in Cycles.

since `AssetHandle` does not have a `name_property`
(`RNA_def_struct_name_property`), and the UIList is just using the
default `uilist_filter_items_default` it simply cannot filter on names
(`RNA_struct_name_get_alloc` wont succeed).
Adding a name_property also wont work since `AssetHandle` inherits
`PropertyGroup` (which already sets name_property).
So this adds a (temporary) hack exception for RNA_AssetHandle in
uilist_filter_items_default until the design of `AssetHandle` progresses
further.

Change KeyMapItem.alt/ctrl/shift/oskey to integer types,
where -1 is used to ignore the modifier when matching key-map items.
It was only possible to set all modifiers to -1 at once from RNA
using the 'any' property.
Afterwards individual modifiers could be set back to true/false.
Although these key-map items could not be exported/imported.
Exposing the values directly avoids the need for cumbersome workarounds.
- Show "Lasso Select" in menus (along with Box & Circle select)
- Show "Extrude to Cursor" (along with other extrude actions).
- Rename operators that add/extrude on Ctrl-Click
since their names were inconsistent.
This is mainly for discoverability.
While the screenshot operator showed an "Area" option,
it wasn't usable from the main menu (unless accessed via menu search).
Split screenshot area into an operator that depends on cursor.
Support waiting for input so operators that depend on the
cursor location are usable from menus / buttons.
Use an operator type flag which the user interface code checks for,
waiting for input when run from a menu item.
This patch only supports this feature, there are no functional changes.
The motivation for this change is discoverability since some actions
were either hidden or broken when accessed from menus
(where the behavior of the operator depended on the menu location).
In general, waiting for input is *not* an efficient way to access tools,
however there are over 50 operators with a "wait_for_input" property
so this isn't introducing a new kind of interaction,
rather exposing this in a way that does not need to be hard-coded into
each operator, or having modal callbacks added for the sole purpose
of waiting for input.
Besides requiring boiler plate code using a "wait_for_input" property
has the added down-side of preventing key shortcuts from showing.
Only the menu items will enable the property,
causing them not to match key-map items.

This adds a toggle to node group inputs exposed in the modifier to use
an attribute instead of a single value. When the toggle is pressed, the
button switches to a text button to choose an attribute name. Attribute
search isn't implemented here yet.
One confusing thing is that some values can't be driven by attributes
at all, like the size of a primitive node. In that case, we should have
a node warning, but that will be separate since it's more general.
We can also have an option to turn off this toggle in node group
input settings.
The two new properties for each input are stored with the same name
as the value, but with `"_use_attribute"` and `"_attribute_name"``
suffixes. The properties are not added for socket types that don't
support attribute input, like object sockets.
