Since "Add Rest Position" is not a shape key property, move it out of
`draw_shape_key_properties`. That way property will be drawn even when
list is empty.

This was caused by 3dfec1ff73
which introduce the new behavior. This was to fix workflows
using a lot of semi-transparent objects which made nagivation
difficult.
This patch first roll back to the previous behavior: The
unselectable object will affect depth-aware operators.
This patch introduces a new visibility property to remove
the influence of objects in all depth picking operations
and selection operations. However the object is still
selectable through non-drawing selection operators
(e.g. select by material) and through the outliner.
This is to adress the aforementionned navigation issues.

Adding panel toggles in nodegroups have somewhat of a UX antipattern. When
running the operator, it checks for conditions that indicate it should not run,
and if those are hit, it cancels execution and mentions the invalid condition in
the footer bar.
This is not ideal, the user should not have to call the operator to find out
whether it can be called.
Why it got implemented like this is likely a consequence of all interface items
being the same "New Item" operator. Poll functions cannot use operator
properties, so variants of the same operator cannot check for different
conditions for execution.
This is a problem for panel toggles, as they have more restrictions to when they
can be added that don't apply to other interface items.
This patch creates a separate operator for adding panel toggles. This allows the
condition checks to be implemented in the poll function, which enables greying
out the operator buttons and showing on tooltips what condition is invalid.

Rename modules in `./scripts/modules/` to use an underscore prefix to
make it clear they aren't intended to be part of public API's. This
also means there is no implication that these modules should be stable,
allowing us to change them based on Blender's internal usage.
The following modules have been marked as private:
- `animsys_refactor`
- `bl_console_utils`
- `bl_i18n_utils`
- `bl_previews_utils`
- `bl_rna_utils`
- `bl_text_utils`
- `bl_ui_utils`
- `bpy_restrict_state`
- `console_python`
- `console_shell`
- `graphviz_export`
- `keyingsets_utils`
- `rna_info`
- `rna_manual_reference`
- `rna_xml`
Note that we could further re-arrange these modules
(under `_bpy_internal` in some cases), this change is mainly to mark
them as private, further changes can be handed on a case-by-case basis.

We have icons that represent specific individual collections. like
Icon_Outliner_Collection for a default (uncolored) collection, and
Icon_Collection_color_x for ones with colors. For "collections" as a
general thing though we have icon_group. Sometimes we confuse the two,
for example the list of tabs to show in Properties uses a different
icon than the actual category icon. This PR fixes the complaint by
using the correct icon for each of these purposes.

The Radial Tilling node crashes in the compositor in GPU mode. This is
because the compositor does not yet support 2D vectors in shader code
generation, but properly supports and expects them in the interface,
which the Radial Tilling node declares. This results in a bad shader
which crashes Blender.
To properly fix this, we need to:
- Support 2D vectors in compositor GPU material shader code generation.
- Support 2D vectors in shader node GPU stack construction.
- Adjust the interface of radial tilling to actually use 2D vectors.
This seems risky for 5.0, so this patch temporarily drops support for
the node in the compositor in 5.0. Then once 2D vectors are supported,
it can be enabled again.

In 2a1a658492, layout functions for nodes were refactored and new
methods were introduced, but this change was not applied to the
translation extraction script.
This commit adds these method names and argument order to Python
extraction: "node_operator", "node_operator_with_outputs",
"simulation_zone", "repeat_zone", "for_each_element_zone",
"closure_zone".
Tooltips specified in a special structure are manually extracted using
`n_()`.
Actual translation is done manually in the UI methods inside NodeMenu,
in order to override the context, which by default would have been
"Operator".

This adds unobtrusive tab button for selecting displayed tabs to the
tabs region. The idea is, that this way, the filter is much more
discoverable than it being hidden in options popover. The button is
grayed out, when all tabs are visible.
To only draw arrow, is achieved by setting `UILayout.emboss` to `NONE`
or `NONE_OR_STATUS`

Previously items in the "Group" list would usually show up first because
their menu path is shorter. Now, adjust their search weight so they show
up lower than the corresponding asset. That this is just a heuristic,
because we don't have a good way to directly deduplicate groups
that are just packed assets in the add menu currently.

Addresses #146305.
Ever since moving to the "sequencer scene" paradigm, attempting to
render an image or animation when a sequencer with strips is present
often seems to outright ignore the sequencer in most cases. This is
because the sequencer scene usually differs from the active scene (which
is the true render target), so one must first switch their active scene
to the sequencer scene before rendering. This is confusing and
seems like a regression in behavior. To improve clarity, this patch does
the following:
When a sequencer scene with at least one strip (and the sequencer step
enabled in the pipeline) exists in the current workspace, new options
"Render Sequencer Image" and "Render Sequencer Animation" appear. These
options may be invoked by alt-F12 and ctrl-alt-F12, respectively.
Additionally, if such a valid sequencer scene is the same as the active
scene, then only the regular render options are listed, since in this
case they are identical to the sequencer render operators, meaning F12
still works predictably.
To switch back and forth between sequencer and main scene render
outputs, a new toggle has been added to the image editor to "Show
Sequencer Scene" output. This button only appears for the render result
if there is a valid sequencer scene that differs from the active scene.

This adds an overlay to the animation editors to visualize the current scene strip
in and out points in the scene timeline when the `Sync Scene Time` option in
the sequencer is used.
* Adds an overlay toggle + panel to the dopesheet.
* Adds a new theme setting (for the overlay) under
`Common` > `Animation` > `Scene Strip Range`.
* Adds the overlay drawing to the dopesheet.

Add a new constraint called "Geometry Attribute", which directly
samples vector, quaternion, or 4x4 matrix attributes from geometry and
applies these to an object's or bone's transform.
This can be used to transfer data generated by geometry nodes to the
object or bone level. By default the constraint will sample a vector
on the vertex domain. The default attribute is `position` for
simplicity, but the attribute value does not have to have anything to
do with neither the transform of the geometry object nor the geometry
itself.

Adds a new operator that jumps time by a given number of frames or seconds, forward or backward.
Surprisingly, it was lacking in Blender, and prompted many users (including me) to create extensions.
This PR adds two properties: `time_jump_unit` for choosing whether to jump by frames or seconds
and `time_jump_delta` property that defines by how many frames or seconds the operator should jump,
as well as an actual operator that changes the current frame (`screen.time_jump`).
`time_jump_delta` is a float that gives users the ability to jump by half a second, for example, or by subframes.
Default is set to 1 second, which translates to as many frames jump as frame rate / frame base.
The operator is intentionally not bound by frame range, and can go in negative frames as well.
This is very important because it's extremely common to set frame range to the current workload,
but wish to see animation beyond that.
Operators are added in the new footer for animation editors alongside with pop-up menu where
properties can be changed.
Shortcuts are also added: Ctrl+Left/Right Arrow, which was surprisingly free in Blender.
Now timeline controls are:
- **Right Arrow**: Next Frame
- **Ctrl + Right Arrow**: Jump Forward (by default also Next Second)
- **Shift + Right Arrow**: Jump to End

Support sync selection in the UV editor, with face-corner selection,
so it's possible to select individual UV vertices/edges in the UV editor
without UV's attached to the same underlying edge also becoming selected.
There is limited support for maintaining the UV selection when selecting
from the 3D viewport, common operations such as picking &
box/circle/lasso select support this, however other selection operations
such as "Select Random" or "Select Similar" will clear this data,
causing all UV's connected to selected mesh elements to become selected.
We may add support for additional operators as needed.
Details:
- UV Sync Selection is now enabled by default.
- In edit-mode the UV selection is stored in BMLoop/BMFace which are
written to custom-data layers when converted to a Mesh.
- To avoid unnecessary overhead - this data is created on demand.
Operators may clear this data - selecting all or none do so,
as there is no reason to store this data for a uniform selection.
- The Python API includes functions to synchronize the selection to/from
UV's as well as flushing based on the mode.
- Python scripts that manipulate the selection will either need to clear
this synchronized state or maintain it.
See:
- Design task: #78393.
- Implementation task: #131642.

This PR changes the current behavior that closes menus that are open
when your mouse is moved out of its "safe" area (a bit wider than its
visible bounds). With this PR applied menus stay open unless you click
elsewhere, hover a neighboring menu, press escape, or select an item.
Although this PR turns off menu mouse leave, it also adds a preference
that can be used to turn it back on.
