This simplifies code using these functions because of RAII,
range based for loops, and the lack of output arguments.
Also pass object pointer array as a span in more cases.

It is very common for graphical editors with layers to support
locking individual layers to protect them from accidental edits due
to misclicks. Blender itself already supports locking vertex groups.
This adds lock toggles for shape keys, with lock/unlock all operators.
The flags are checked by sculpt brushes, edit mode transform tools,
and Smooth, Propagate and Blend From Shape operators. This selection
aims to cover operations that only deform the mesh, where the shape
key selection matters.
Topology changing operations always apply to all keys, and thus
incorrect shape key selection is less impactful. Excluding them
from the new feature greatly reduces the patch size.

Implements part of #111538.
Change the modifier add button to create a menu with submenus.
Extend the submenus dynamically with geometry node group assets.
This makes it much simpler to share and use custom modifiers.
Node groups get a new "Is Modifier" property, which is controllable
in a popover in the node editor header when the group is an asset.
The built in modifier can be rearranged in different categories in
a next step. For now the existing organization is used, except for
the geometry nodes modifier, which is called "Empty Modifier" and
put in the root menu.
The changes in !110855 and !110828 will be important to improve
interaction speed with the new UI. Those are planned for 4.0 as well.

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.
