This significantly simplifies memory management, mostly by avoiding
the need to free the memory manually. It may also improve performance,
since std::string has an inline buffer that can prevent heap
allocations and it stores the size.

When a string shouldn't be used or is invalid, use std::nullopt to
make it clear it's value shouldn't be used.
Without this it's possible to accidentally use an empty string
which will silently fail.
Removal of "confirm" operator callback for confirmation customization,
in favor of new method that shares existing operator dialog code and
allows python configuration.

This was part of #117528, but the description is not suitable as a title
in general and this breaks various existing popups. It is often tool long
and detailed, or just not worded in a way that works as a title.
`UUID` generally stands for "universally unique identifier". The session identifier that
we use is neither universally unique, nor does it follow the standard. Therefor, the term
"session uuid" is confusing and should be replaced.
In #116888 we briefly talked about a better name and ended up with "session uid".
The reason for "uid" instead of "id" is that the latter is a very overloaded term in Blender
already.
This patch changes all uses of "uuid" to "uid" where it's used in the context of a
"session uid". It's not always trivial to see whether a specific mention of "uuid" refers
to an actual uuid or something else. Therefore, I might have missed some renames.
I can't think of an automated way to differentiate the case.
BMesh also uses the term "uuid" sometimes in a the wrong context (e.g. `UUIDFaceStepItem`)
but there it also does not mean "session uid", so it's *not* changed by this patch.

The term `PIL` stands for "platform independent library." It exists since the `Initial Revision`
commit from 2002. Nowadays, we generally just use the `BLI` (blenlib) prefix for such code
and the `PIL` prefix feels more confusing then useful. Therefore, this patch renames the
`PIL` to `BLI`.

The previous commit introduced a new `RPT_()` macro to translate
strings which are not tooltips or regular interface elements, but
longer reports or statuses.
This commit uses the new macro to translate many strings all over the
UI.
Most of it is a simple replace from `TIP_()` or `IFACE_()` to
`RPT_()`, but there are some additional changes:
- A few translations inside `BKE_report()` are removed altogether
because they are already handled by the translation system.
- Messages inside `UI_but_disable()` are no longer translated
manually, but they are handled by a new regex in the translation
system.

As suggested by Campbell, this changes structure, variable, and
callback names to use "confirm" terminology rather than "warning"
for code related to custom confirmations.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/116992
Allow our current simple confirmations to be customized and extended
with callbacks, allowing different behaviors, different icons, and
showing more information. Makes no changes to any existing dialogs.

Texture usage flag `GPU_TEXTURE_USAGE_MIP_SWIZZLE_VIEW`
was originally implemented and used too conservatively for many
cases in which the underlying API flags were not required.
Renaming to `GPU_TEXTURE_USAGE_FORMAT_VIEW` to reflect
the only essential use case for when a texture view is initialized with
a different texture format to the source texture. Texture views can
still be created without this flag when mip range or base level is
adjusted,
This flag is still required by stencil views and internally by the Metal
backend for certain feature support such as SRGB render toggling.
Patch also includes some small changes to the Metal backend to
adapt to this new compatibility and correctly capture all texture view
use-cases.

Don't log wm.operator operator properties when no properties
are stored/loaded, this was noisy, especially for the
INFO_OT_reports_display_update operator when runs from a timer.
This PR implements an initial drawing tool that can already be used for testing.
While this is not fully feature complete (compared to the current grease pencil draw tool) the following is already implemented:
* Pressure support for radius and opacity.
* Material color and vertex color support.
* New active smoothing algorithm based on curve fitting.
* Simplify algorithm as a post-process step.
Some deliberate limitations include:
* The drawing plane is always the front plane. Drawing on surfaces is also not supported.
*
The current approach has not been optimized for performance yet. The goal was to have a straightforward implementation
first and then focus on performance later.
There are numerous parameters in the code that are hard-coded for now. These should be exposed at some point, potentially as user settings.

Search menu (F3) displays character which was pressed to open a context
specific search. This also breaks the old behavior of showing last searched
operator in text field, instead shows the pressed character.
To fix this, first store the `g_search_text/but->poin` string in
temp_buffer (before pressed key char is copied to `g_search_text`).
Later, restore the g_search_text after invoking the search menu.
