This is just for convenience since it allows animators to keyframe
outside of the strip's bounds by default. This was likely off by
default before since Syncing Length would undesirably shift the whole
animation after leaving tweak mode (fixed by {D7602}) and the animator
wasn't able to keyframe outside the strip bounds anyways
(fixed by {D7533}). Now it's better if the flag was on by default.
While the animator is still roughly developing their animation NLA-wise
they won't have to worry about strip bound keying failures. When they
are more certain of the strip bounds, they can disable the flag to
prevent affecting the rest of the NLA system.

This changes the way how the mattes are stored in the compositor node. This used to
be a single string what was decoded/encoded when needed. The new data structure
stores all entries in `CryptomatteEntry` and is converted to the old `matte_id`
property on the fly.
This is done for some future changes in the workflow where a more structured
approach leads to less confusing and easier to read code.
Object previews are really helpful for visual data-block selection, like asset
browsing. Having them be generative should also be quite handy and should work
well enough in many, if not most cases.
What this does is simple:
* Place the object (actually a deep copy of it, for thread safety) in a virtual
.blend into an empty scene/view-layer.
* Add a camera, point it towards the front of the object, assuming that means
pointing towards its +Y axis.
* Use "Camera Fit Frame to Selected" logic to put the object into frame.
* Create a threaded off-screen render.
Of course, such an automatic preview will not work in all situations. E.g. it
currently does a bad job capturing a single plane. We could add options for
more advanced automatic previews, but probably custom previews is more
important, which I committed already (812ea91842).

This patch introduces a new BKE function that performs a uniform subdivide.
The goal of this function is to subdivide the stroke to reach a target number of points while maintaining its shape, color, and weights.
This is done by repeatedly subdividing the longest edge in the stroke. Every subdivision adds a new point at the exact middle point of an edge.
The function is intended to be used in the interpolation operators to give better results when interpolating between different sized strokes.

This is similar to c4a2067130130d, but applies to the general UI and is only
about single data-blocks. Here there was a similar problem: How can buttons
pass the data they represent to operators? We currently resort to ugly ad-hoc
solutions like `UI_context_active_but_get_tab_ID()`. So the operator would need
to know that it is executed on a tab button that represents a data-block.
A single button can now hand operators a data-block to operate on. The operator
can request it via the "id" context member (`CTX_data_pointer_get_type(C, "id",
&RNA_ID)` in C, `bpy.context.id` in .py).
In this commit, it is already set in the following places:
* Generic RNA button code sets it to the pointed to data-block, if the button
represents a data-block RNA pointer property. (I.e for general data-block
search buttons.)
* Data-block selectors (`templateID`) set it to the currently active data-block.
* The material slot UI-List sets it for each slot to the material it represents.
The button context menu code is modified so its operators use the context set
for the layout of its parent button (i.e. `layout.context_pointer_set()`).

The way the Outliner integrates operations on selected tree elements is known
to be quite problematic amongst developers. The context menu is generated in an
unusual way and doesn't use the normal operator system. Instead, changes are
applied via a recursive callback system. Things are quite ad-hoc, and the
callbacks often implement logic that should not be in the Outliner, but in
entirely different modules. Often these modules already contain the logic, but
as proper operators.
This commit is a step into a hopefully better direction that should allow us to
put actual operators into Outliner context menus. It starts solving the problem
of: How can the Outliner pass selected data to operators. It implements it for
data-blocks only, but other data could do it in the same way.
Idea is to keep doing what operators were initially designed to do: Operate on
context.
Operators can now query a "selected_ids" context member
(`CTX_data_selected_ids()` in C, `bpy.context.selected_ids` in .py). If an
Outliner is active, it will generate a list of selected data-blocks as a
response, via its `SpaceType.context` callback.
Any other editor could do the same.

The previous `BKE_appdir_folder_default()` was confusing, it would return the

* `BKE_appdir_folder_default()` should behave as before, but the implementation
changed:
** Removes apparently incorrect usage of `XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR` on Unix systems -
this seems to be a config file variable, not an environment variable. Always
use `$HOME` instead, which this ended up using anyway.
** On Windows it doesn't attempt to use `%HOME%` anymore and gets the Documents
directory directly.

* Add `BKE_appdir_folder_documents()` to always get the user documents

It's easier to read and less 'weird' to check that an item is non-local
in a liboverride data-block, than the other way around. Thanks to
@sybren for noticing it.
RNA collections that support insertion of new items in liboverride
data-block need a special way to distiguish between locale and
orig-from-linked items (since some operations are allowed on the forer,
but no the latter).
In future we want a proper solution to abstract that at the
`BKE_lib_override` level, but for now we need to add some code for each
case.
Note that this commit also fixes a few potential issues with GPencil
modifiers, and constraints, regarding their handling of local overrides.
This way Outliner internal data stays internal, non-Outliner code will not be
able to access and mess with this. Further it allows us to use the real type
(rather than `void *`), change the type to a C++ container if needed and
slightly reduces the size for every Outliner stored in files.
Slightly changed how we set the `SO_TREESTORE_REBUILD` for this, but it should
effectively behave the same way as before.
Cryptomatte is a standard to efficiently create mattes for compositing. The
renderer outputs the required render passes, which can then be used in the
compositor to create masks for specified objects. Unlike the Material and Object
Index passes, the objects to isolate are selected in compositing, and mattes
will be anti-aliased.
Cryptomatte was already available in Cycles this patch adds it to the EEVEE
render engine. Original specification can be found at
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Psyop/Cryptomatte/master/specification/IDmattes_poster.pdf
**Accurate mode**
Following Cycles, there are two accuracy modes. The difference between the two
modes is the number of render samples they take into account to create the
render passes. When accurate mode is off the number of levels is used. When
accuracy mode is active, the number of render samples is used.
**Deviation from standard**
Cryptomatte specification is based on a path trace approach where samples and
coverage are calculated at the same time. In EEVEE a sample is an exact match on
top of a prepared depth buffer. Coverage is at that moment always 1. By sampling
multiple times the number of surface hits decides the actual surface coverage
for a matte per pixel.
**Implementation Overview**
When drawing to the cryptomatte GPU buffer the depth of the fragment is matched
to the active depth buffer. The hashes of each cryptomatte layer is written in
the GPU buffer. The exact layout depends on the active cryptomatte layers. The
GPU buffer is downloaded and integrated into an accumulation buffer (stored in
CPU RAM).
The accumulation buffer stores the hashes + weights for a number of levels,
layers per pixel. When a hash already exists the weight will be increased. When
the hash doesn't exists it will be added to the buffer.
After all the samples have been calculated the accumulation buffer is processed.
During this phase the total pixel weights of each layer is mapped to be in a
range between 0 and 1. The hashes are also sorted (highest weight first).
Blender Kernel now has a `BKE_cryptomatte` header that access to common
functions for cryptomatte. This will in the future be used by the API.
* Alpha blended materials aren't supported. Alpha blended materials support in

processing.

This patch adds support for AOVs in EEVEE. AOV Outputs can be defined in the
render pass tab and used in shader materials. Both Object and World based
shaders are supported. The AOV can be previewed in the viewport using the
renderpass selector in the shading popover.
AOV names that conflict with other AOVs are automatically corrected. AOV
conflicts with render passes get a warning icon. The reason behind this is that
changing render engines/passes can change the conflict, but you might not notice
it. Changing this automatically would also make the materials incorrect, so best
to leave this to the user.
**Implementation**
The patch adds a copies the AOV structures of Cycles into Blender. The goal is
that the Cycles will use Blenders AOV defintions. In the Blender kernel
(`layer.c`) the logic of these structures are implemented.
The GLSL shader of any GPUMaterial can hold multiple outputs (the main output
and the AOV outputs) based on the renderPassUBO the right output is selected.
This selection uses an hash that encodes the AOV structure. The full AOV needed
to be encoded when actually drawing the material pass as the AOV type changes
the behavior of the AOV. This isn't known yet when the GLSL is compiled.
**Future Developments**
* The AOV definitions in the render layer panel isn't shared with Cycles.
Cycles should be migrated to use the same viewlayer aovs. During a previous
attempt this failed as the AOV validation in cycles and in Blender have
implementation differences what made it crash when an aov name was invalid.
This could be fixed by extending the external render engine API.
* Add support to Cycles to render AOVs in the 3d viewport.
* Use a drop down list for selecting AOVs in the AOV Output node.
* Give user feedback when multiple AOV output nodes with the same AOV name
exists in the same shader.
* Fix viewing single channel images in the image editor [T83314]
* Reduce viewport render time by only render needed draw passes. [T83316]

the area of the brush that is going to be used to sample the wet paint

that exist for sculpting brushes for sampling the surface depth and
orientation.
When working near color hard edges, this allows to prevent the color
from the other side of the edge to blend into the wet paint.
With 1.0 (the previous default) wet paint radius, as soon as the brush touches
one vertex of the other color, the wet paint mix color changes, making it
impossible to maintain the border between the two colors.
