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.

When line art is first developed, curves objects does not exist yet, now
it is added to line art so it will be read and take part in feature line
generation and occlusion tests.
This patch also adds "Line Art" panel for curves object, just like other
objects supported by line art.

This changes the engine identifier back to `BLENDER_EEVEE`.
We keep the `BLENDER_EEVEE_NEXT` identifier around for
versioning reasons (have to detect when it is the active
engine of a older file).
This also rename a bunch of pannels that were using `next`
in their name.
This is a breaking change for Addons compatibility.

Relative imports are intentionally avoided in UI code (`scripts/startup/bl_ui`) because it makes it impossible to run individual files in isolation.
Common workflow for making mock-ups and quick UI edits is to load the UI file in Blender's text editor with "Edit Source" operator, make changes, and run the script to see the changes. But in the current version it's impossible because files include relative imports, which don't allow Python to run scripts individually.

This implement the design detailed in #135935.
A new per object property called `Shadow Terminator Normal Offset` is
introduced to shift the shadowed position along the shading normal.
The amount of shift is defined in object space on the object datablock.
This amount is modulated by the facing ratio to the light. Faces
already facing the light will get no offset. This avoids most light
leaking artifacts.
In case of multiple shading normal, the normal used for the shift
is arbitrary. Note that this is the same behavior for other biases.
The magnitude of the bias is controlled by `Shadow Terminator Normal Offset`.
The amount of faces affected by the bias is controlled using
`Shadow Terminator Geometry Offset` just like cycles.
Tweaking the `Shadow Terminator Geometry Offset` allows to avoid too much
shadow distortion on surfaces with bump mapping.
Cycles properties are copied from the Cycles object datablock to the
blender datablock. This break the python API for Cycles.
The defaults are set to no bias because:
- There is no good default. The best value depends on the geometry.
- The best value might depend on real-time displacement.
- Any bias will introduce light leaking on surfaces that do not need it.
- There is an additional cost of enabling it, which is proportional
to the amount of pixels on screen using it.

When using vertex parenting, an option for using the parent object
final evaluated indices is exposed in the Object Properties: Relations
panel. This allows the calculation of the parent vertex position to
ignore the the CD_ORIGINDEX layer and instead use the final indices
that may have been altered by the node tree evaluation.
The indices that will be used for the vertex parenting are also exposed
to the UI in the same panel, allowing them to be altered after the
vertex parent has been created.
- Wrap the closing parenthesis onto it's own line
which makes assignments to the return value
read better.
- Reduce right-shift with multi-line function calls.
This adds feature parity with Cycles regarding light and shadow liking.
Technically, this extends the GBuffer header to 32 bits, and uses
the top bits to store the object's light set membership index.
The same index is also added to `ObjectInfo` in place of padding bytes.
For shadow linking, the shadow blocker sets bitmask is stored per
tilemap. It is then used during the GPU culling phase to cull objects
that do not belong to the shadow's sets.

Add Action + Action Slot selectors to various Property Editor tabs.
This follows the pattern established in
f917b60036.
Support for `CacheFile` data-blocks is not included here. That needs
some discussion, as currently its interface is part of the Modifier
stack (and thus implemented in C++ and not Python, and using a
different layout).
Since this PR is about adding to the Property Editor, some data-blocks
that have no representation there are thus excluded (like `Mask`).
Even when they could actually use an Action+Slot selector somewhere.

* Rename "Type" to "Shape" in user interface. RDNA already used
the term Shape (Still need to push this from office)
* Show LightProbe overlay settings
* Rename "Cubemap" to "Sphere"
* Rename "Planar" to "Plane"

Remove `Material > Shadow Mode` and use `Object > Shadow Ray Visibility`
and `Material > Transparent Shadows` instead.
The versioning system auto-updates objects/materials in EEVEE
scenes so their behavior is as close as possible to the previous one.
Update Cycles to use the native `use_transparent_shadow` property.
Note:
Material changes don't set any `recalc` flag on the objects that use
them, so the EEVEE Next shadow maps don't update when changing
settings/nodes.
Fixing this issue is required for 4.1, but it's out of the scope of this PR.

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.

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
This commit implements described in the #104573.
The goal is to fix the confusion of the submodule hashes change, which are not
ideal for any of the supported git-module configuration (they are either always
visible causing confusion, or silently staged and committed, also causing
confusion).
This commit replaces submodules with a checkout of addons and addons_contrib,
covered by the .gitignore, and locale and developer tools are moved to the
main repository.
This also changes the paths:
- /release/scripts are moved to the /scripts
- /source/tools are moved to the /tools
- /release/datafiles/locale is moved to /locale
This is done to avoid conflicts when using bisect, and also allow buildbot to
automatically "recover" wgen building older or newer branches/patches.
Running `make update` will initialize the local checkout to the changed
repository configuration.
Another aspect of the change is that the make update will support Github style
of remote organization (origin remote pointing to thy fork, upstream remote
pointing to the upstream blender/blender.git).
