I had to do a huge refactor in order to do this.
The way ReflectionProbe were referencing the UBO
data was conflicting with the way EEVEE-Next
object should behave.
So like light, shadow and irradiance grids, every
probe is synced with it's GPU data as base struct
and the data is just copied into the UBO
when using `set_view`.
To simplify many parts of the reflection probe
code, I isolated the atlas coordinate of a probe
to its own struct that can be easily copied.

Update to the new naming convention for `Light Probes`:
`Reflection Cubemap` -> `Sphere`
`Reflection Plane` -> `Plane`
`Irradiance Grid` -> `Volume`
Note that this breaks the Python API (`bpy.types.LightProbe.type`).

This implements the core changes for this design: https://devtalk.blender.org/t/grease-pencil-integration-into-geometry-nodes/31220
The changes include:
* Add `CustomData` for layer attributes
* Add attribute support for the `GreasePencilComponent` to read/write layer attributes. Also introduces a `Layer` domain.
* Implement a `GreasePencilLayerFieldContext` and make `GeometryFieldContext` work with grease pencil layers.
* Implement `Set Position` node for `Grease Pencil`.
Note: These changes are only accessible/visible with the `Grease Pencil 3.0` experimental flag enabled.

This PR reuses the scene specific reflection probe resolution for all
reflection light probes in the scene. The target is to have a automatic
detection for the resolution. But as long as we don't have a mechanism
for detection it is better to not introduce a new UI element that will
be removed within the foreseen future.
This setting is currently used by EEVEE and EEVEE-Next. EEVEE supports
resolutions upto 4096px. This will be clamped to 2048 when using
EEVEE-Next.
The motivation for this is that EEVEE-Next will soon replace
EEVEE and 4096 can then be removed from the choices that the user can
made. Adding as separate option could need synchronization, and that
option would also be temporary as it will be removed by the resolution
detection mechanism.

This traces planar lightprobe captures just like
the screen-space tracing does.
This is implemented as a separate shader that
loads the ray before the screen trace and
check if it can be traced against any available
planar probe. If it does it marks the ray as
traced (negative pdf) so that the screen tracing
pass does not override the result or try to
trace it.

This PR is contains the initial capture pipeline for planar probes.
It requires work to generate the correct view to capture and to include
the result during ray tracing. These will be developed in a separate PR.
This PR detects if a planar probe is active in the scene. If this is
the case the planar probe pipeline will be activated. During rendering
this is done by querying the depsgraph, during viewport drawing this
is done during sync. If an planar probe is detected and the pipeline
wasn't activated. The pipeline will be activated and the sampling
will be reset to ensure the pipeline is filled with all objects.
Per object the user can set the visibility of the object in planar
reflections.
For a reflection plane the resolution and clipping offset can be set.
EDIT: Resolution option was removed because too complex to
implement with the little time we have at the moment.

The issue was that the code filtered for selected channels,
while the expectation was that it would only filter for selected keys.
This PR changes the behavior of the operator in the following way:
* when "Clean Channels" is **disabled**, it will clean only selected keyframes, regardless of the channel selection
* when "Clean Channels" is **enabled**, it will clean selected channels regardless of keyframe selection
The same logic was applied to the Graph Editor code.
It only makes a difference in the case when "Clean Channels" is enabled.
That is because channels were automatically selected when a key was selected.
In addition to that I moved the menu entry for "Clean Channels" to the channel menu
to reduce confusion.
Another solution would have been to make the Dope Sheet select channels
when keys are selected. This might still be done in the future, but I think the
only correct fix is to change the actual operator behavior.

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.

So far, when the toolbar was visible, the tool settings header would show empty
space instead of the tool icon. This was probably to avoid jumping of the
layout. However this empty space looks quite jarring, and alignments in that
corner are all over the place with it (causing visual noise). On the other hand
the jumping seems like a minor problem, it's quite subtle, esp since the
viewport overlay text does a similar jump. Having the icon appear and disappear
based on the toolbar visibility also causes visual distraction, so the problem
was mitigated at best.

This is because the menu entry was using different operator
properties from what the shortcut is defined for. It was needed
to make it so an operator which is called from the menu does not
have dependency on the mouse location.
Now it is achieved by resolving MOUSE side to RIGHT from the
operator's exec().

The `armature.bones["name"].color` property is *the* bone color, which is
intended to be used as the primary way of coloring bones. THis is now
reflected better in the UI.
The per-armature-object bone color (i.e. `ob.pose.bones["name"].color`) is
seen as a secondary.
Add the 'move bone to collection' operator to the pose mode menu. It was
already in the armature edit mode menu.
The operator was already available in the pose mode keymap, it just wasn't
discoverable via the menu.
Separate user configuration of subpixel antialiasing from the hinting
options. For example, this allows turning this on while hinting is
"None", or off when hinting is "Full".

In the Armature properties, rename the 'Skeleton' panel to 'Pose'. This
panel used to house the armature layers, but they have been transformed
into bone collections, which have their own panel. Also the term 'skeleton'
is not used in Blender, so having that as title here felt out of place.
There are some ideas to introduce different 'poses', to disconnect the
mesh binding pose from the animation reference pose. This rename sets
things up for exposing such functionality.
Add an overview of those bone collections the active/pinned bone is
assigned to.
This overview was originally there, showing the armature layers and the
bone group. This is now replaced by a list of the bone's collections. The
only possible interaction is unassigning the bone & toggling visibility
of the bone collections.
Move operators that act on the active bone collection to a 'specials'
context menu, just like other UILists.
The menu now contains:
- Solo the active bone collection (i.e. make it visible and hide others).
- Show all bone collections.
Avoid an error when drawing the Lattice properties panel. The code for
drawing mesh attributes warnings didn't account for the fact that lattices
also have vertex groups, and thus that particular code can be called
without an active mesh.
With armature layers it was possible to, with one click, show a single
layer and hide all the others. This is now possible with bone collections
as well.
For that I added a new operator `armature.bone_collection_solo_visibility`,
with a button next to the list of bone collections. The icon is
`SOLO_ON`, which is also used in the NLA.
Blender's "Copy to Selected" feature only copies single properties, while
bone colors consist of four properties (palette + 3 custom colors). These
can now be copied with a single click.
