Support thumbnail that shows the file contents instead
of the default blend file icon for all files in Finder.
Some files may still have the usual blender icon as thumbnail
depending on their contents.
blender-thumbnailer process is kept alive by the system
in the background and is invoked by QuickLook when needed.
The checkbox to disable the extension is present in
the Settings app.
It will NOT be an interactive "Preview" that allows richer
interactions like Panning viewport, or rotating 3D objects.
Material preview panel for grease pencil was accidentally removed in e10b0b3449 because it had EEVEE engine listed as `COMPAT_ENGINES`, which also seemed accidental. After adding panel back I noticed that .blend file for generating previews was also faulty. It was updated 2 years ago when GPv3 was experimental feature, and file wasn't up to date to current state.
This PR also adds new .blend file for generating material previews that is mostly the same as one in Blender 4.2, except:
- I organized it, removed unnecessary stuff.
- For Flat preview it was using flat checkerboard background, for other modes 3D room, which seemed unnecessary and not useful for Grease Pencil, so now every mode uses flat background.
- "Cloth", "Liquid", and "Shaderball" modes in 4.2 didn't render at all and resulted in all white screen. Now they render default Circle, which is not correct, but at least better than nothing. In future we can add custom drawings to those modes for previewing materials on more complex objects.

This flag was only used in earlier KDE Plasma 5.x releases.
KDE Frameworks 5.86.0 removed this flag which released in 2021.
From what I can tell there are no maintained versions of Kubuntu, Debian,
etc that ships with an older version, so this should be safe to remove.
This PR fixes a number of items in Preferences that "Reset to Default"
to different values than the default preferences. For some items this
is because they just have incorrect values, some have redundancies
between the U_default struct and property default, and many others are
caused by our code that reverses struct defaults for properties that
are "negative SDNA", or don't struct defaults for enum_bitflag_sdna
properly. Items include "show_splash", "anisotropic_filter", etc.

The worldspace studiolight HDR images shipped in Blender have some
black/negative pixel artifacts, mostly in the brightest areas. These
are caused by the default downscaling filter that has negative lobes,
last time they were updated/added in e9df155d53. Fix the issue by
downloading already correct resolution (1024x512) from the source,
and recompressing with the same DWA quality setting.

This commit implements most features needed for simple text editing.
Active text strip can be edited in preview by pressing tab key, which
enabled text editing mode. With this mode active, outline matches text
boundary box and cursor is drawn.
Cursor can be moved with usual keys. Pressing shift starts selection.
Selection and navigation works when text is scaled or rotated. Mirrored
text is not supported in this PR. it can be done, but the text is
unreadable that way, so I kept it simple.
Multi line text is supported. Pressing return key starts new line.
Copy/paste operator uses OS copy paste buffer, so text from other apps
can be pasted.
Text is still limited to 512 characters. Text string property still
exists in side panel and is limited to single line. Individual
characters can not be styled in different way like in 3D viewport, but
the code is mostly ready for such feature.

1 - Add an option to open up the fund.blender.org website at the end of
the install process.
2 - Use blender launcher to register blender in order to prevent a black
dialog box flashing onto the screen.
3- Since registering blender can take a bit, add a progress text during
registration
4- during installation on windows 10+ the installer displayed
`Copying new files File: [1], Directory: [9], Size [6]` fixed to just display
`Copying new files`

See blender/blender-assets!15 for the actual asset file change.
As part of the brush asset project, various weight paint brushes had
their falloff curve changed. This had the unintended effect of changing
the behavior of the gradient tool, as it shares the currently active
brush's settings.
This behavior is unintuitive and not well documented, as an interim fix,
the bundled assets were reverted.

This PR changes the default theme color for TH_FACE_FRONT, used by the
Face Orientation overlay, to have zero alpha. That way, by default, it
can be used always and not interfere with the display of (normal) front
faces.

Previously, logs from Windows bug-reporting scripts would include
a minimal level of messages from Blender itself due to the usage
of the default log level.
With this change, a new Cycles associated bug-reporting script
is now added with logging set to the maximum level, so all
debug details from the Blender application will be available
in the generated log file, which users can attach to bug reports.

Implementation in #124333 had versioning code in `versioning_userdef.cc`
to make sure that updated configs would also have connected strips by default,
but forgot to change `userdef_default.c`.

Earlier in the brush assets project, for mesh sculpting, grease pencil,
and curves sculpting, the toolbar brush icon used was changed to a
version with a green highlight. This commit reverts that change to use
the monochrome grey icon instead in each of these modes.
For Sculpt mode specifically, the Paint tool icon is kept as this green
version to differentiate the usages. In future releases, further changes
are planned for sculpting related brushes to better represent their
functionality.
