Julian Eisel fa0f295b53 UI: Region polling support
Introduces *ARegionType.poll()* as a way to dynamically add/remove a region. The region is still there internally, but is not accessible to the user.

Previously editors would to this manually, by either removing/adding regions altogether, or hiding them, unsetting their alignment (so no AZones are added I assume) and removing their event handlers. Polling makes this much simpler.

We plan to use this in #102879.

This patch refactors multiple editors to use region polling:
- File Browser
- Sequencer
- Clip Editor
- Preferences

Notes:
- Previously, editors would lazy-create some of the regions. Versioning is added here to ensure they are always there. Could be a separate patch.
- Some editors reuse a region in different display modes, and so additional work needs to be done to reinit regions they become available or the mode changes. Typically `V2D_IS_INIT` is unset for that, which isn't great. Could be improved, but not a new issue.

Behavior change:
- When the Preferences are opened as a regular editor, the "execution" region in the preferences that displays the *Save Preferences* button would still be there, but empty with a scrollbar.
  This patch makes it disappear entirely.

## Implementation

- Introduces `ARegionType.poll()`
- Before a window is drawn, all contained regions have their poll checked, and the result is stored in a flag (`RGN_FLAG_POLL_FAILED` - runtime-only flag).
- If the result of the poll changes, the area is re-initialized and event handlers are added/removed.
- UI code checks the flag as needed.
