This feature works like the select lasso in other editors. In preview
the user can draw a region they want to select and when a strips origin
is in this lasso region the strip gets selected.
In timeline the user can do the same and the strip gets selected when
the strip is in the lasso or some part of the lasso is in the strip.
The tool can be accessed through in the toolbar or via shortcut.

This feature works like the select circle in any other modes. The user
can press "C" in preview or timeline and then select or deselect strips
by pressing the left or middle mouse button.
It’s an enhancement for the VSE preview because:
1. It makes it more similar to other editors in Blender
2. This behavior makes it easier to select specific overlapping strips
in preview, that is because the select circle only checks for the
origin of the strip.

This PR adds a slip tool in the toolbar with its own custom icon for
applying slips using the mouse. This is useful for e.g. tablets where a
keyboard is not handy and a button would be best to activate the
operator.
There is also a custom cursor that appears when hovering over valid,
slippable strips (and a "stop" icon when the strip cannot be slipped).
Alt may be used in order to ignore slipping connected strips when using
the tool, similar to selection logic. The slip tool only performs its
sole function of slipping and as such does not change the selection
state.
In the future, we can also add "slide" functionality to the same tool,
giving it multiple functions.

This adds the `Pen` tool to Grease Pencil Edit Mode.
With the pen tool you can:
- Extrude points by `Left Click`.
- Move the handles by dragging the mouse.
- Snap handles to 45 degree increments with `Shift`.
- Cycle through the handle types by `Double Clicking`.
- Add new point on segments by `Ctrl Clicking`.
- Remove existing point by `Ctrl Clicking`.
- Close a curve by clicking on one end while having the other selected.
- Move existing segment by clicking and dragging on the edge.
- Move points by clicking and dragging the mouse.
Some changes have been made compared to the legacy
curve object's pen tool:
- `Angle locking` with `Alt` was replaced with `Angle Snapping`
using `Shift`. This was done to match the behavior of Grease Pencil
primitive tools.
- `Move Entire Point` was changed from the `Space` key to `Alt`. This
was done because some laptops can't move the mouse while
`Space` is held.
- `Link Handles` and `Free Align Toggle` were not implemented.
- `Toggle Vector` and `Close Spline Method` were removed.
- `Close Spline` was removed and set to always be true.
- `Extrude Handle` type was removed as a option and was replaced
by the `shift` modifier key when clicking.
- Newly created points are placed on the drawing plane, instead of
the view plane.
When a new curve is created, the material will be the active material
and the radius will be set from the `radius` property.
Note: This tool is added to edit mode because it uses handle selection
and bézier overlays which currently don't exist in draw mode.
A future PR will implement a draw mode version.

Expose existing mask operators as tools in the toolbar.
The primitive tools are commented out since interactively placement
isn't currently supported by the operators.
Ref !136086
Historically, the `UnifiedPaintSettings` struct has been used to
provide users the ability to set brush values at a scene level. Examples
of such attributes are the brush size, strength, and color, to name a
few.
Instead of these values being shared across all of the grease pencil,
mesh painting, and curves sculpting modes. This commit migrates the
data to the `Paint` struct, meaning that each individual mode (e.g.
Sculpt, Vertex Paint, Grease Pencil Draw) now has the ability to change
these values without affecting other modes.
While this change is large, the majority of the work is simply
refactoring access to the `UnifiedPaintSetting` struct. to ensure the
correct property is being retrieved.

Rename to be more consistent with other Blender keymaps, as well as the
naming convention used in "View Type."
- "SequencerCommon" -> "Video Sequence Editor"
- "SequencerPreview" -> "Preview"
- "Sequencer Timeline Tool" -> "Sequencer Tool"
- "Sequencer Preview Tool" -> "Preview Tool"
There is versioning in place to make sure custom keyconfigs keep working.
Once #131102 goes through, if we would like to rename the "Sequencer"
view type to "Timeline" or "Sequencer Timeline," then we can make the
necessary changes here too.

Though "Point Cloud" written as two words is technically correct and should be used in the UI, as one word it's typically easier to write and parse when reading. We had a mix of both before this patch, so better to unify this as well.
This commit also renames the editor/intern/ files to remove pointcloud_ prefix.
point_cloud was only preserved on the user facing strings:
* is_type_point_cloud
* use_new_point_cloud_type
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/134803
This ends up being very simple because point cloud has
no connectivity information and each element is just one
position.
Also implement the 3D transform gizmo.
The geometry deformation system isn't implemented in this
commit. That can be tacked later.

- 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.
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.

### Sculpt Mode Toolbar
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/129934
PR #128051 made some improvements to code by cleaning up properties and
simplifying logic.
However, the default tool in most spaces is box select. By switching to
box select default, there should be more front-facing consistency across
spaces while still retaining near-identical behavior.
This patch would fix the small bug listed in #128671 while keeping the
simplified code benefits from #128051.
Also:
- Move selection keymap items up in the Sequencer (Global) keymap so it
is more visible (similar to Node Editor ordering).
- Split `side_of_frame` property for ctrl press keymap item into a
separate keymap item on ctrl click for both LCS and RCS to avoid
clashing with ctrl+drag for box selects in RCS.

Since brush assets were merged, all sculpt and paint modes have a unified
"Brush" tool that is used for all brushes. Based on feedback, this mixes brush
types a bit too much, so some specific tools that use brushes should be brought
back. These brush types just behave very different from the main brush types,
and users expect them to be easily accessible from the toolbar. This also makes
them more discoverable and having tools that remember their last used brush can
be useful too (e.g. assigning shortcut to eraser tool to switch back to last
used eraser, rather than a specific eraser brush).
Note that further changes are planned, to get a true "best of both worlds"
design, where people can use a global brush library without having to worry
about tools, but brushes can also be accessed via tool categorization.
The new design works well with both mental models without being a compromise
in-between.
a79f9100a6 already brought back some tool for grease pencil draw mode, with this
commit the design is now applied to all sculpt & paint modes.
See PR for a list of tools that were brought back.

Followup to a38c96b92c, which implemented the necessary sculpt, paint and
tool-system changes. All this commit has to do is bring back the tool
definitions.
The brush assets project merged all brush based tools into a single, "Brush"
tool. After feedback, we want to bring back some of the previous brush based
tools. For example in grease pencil draw mode, not having an eraser or fill tool
available, and having to go through all the brush assets instead made the
workflow more cumbersome, and features less discoverable (an eraser tool in the
toolbar is quite easy to find, a brush deep down in the asset library may not
be).

b64bf66257 changed how brush based tools are defined. It was authored
before the vertex paint tools got added back for grease pencil v3, so
this additional change was missing.
When switching between tools, layouts starting with the brush asset
selector would jump back and forth for a few pixels. Make sure they use
the same padding to avoid the jumps.
Part of blender/blender!125449.
Since brush assets were merged, the brush asset selector and some other brush
UIs wouldn't show up for the primitive tools. This is addressed now. The
primitive tools use the same brush as the brush tool, although only the draw
brushes will work properly. !125449 addresses this so the primitive tools
remember their own draw brush, separate from the brush tool.
Turns out that these primitive tools were never tagged as using brushes by
setting the `data_block` member (or setting the `'USE_BRUSHES'` option since
b64bf66257). The UI was just hardcoded to display things like the brush selector
for primitive tools. So as far as the tool system knew, these tools did not use
brushes.
Tagging the tools properly exposed some issues that are addressed here (see PR
for details).
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/127204
The previous way of considering tools with the `data_block` member set
as using brushes was rather unclear/confusing, but also a bit outdated
with the brush assets changes. Since then most sculpt/paint modes use a
unified brush tool, there was no tool for every brush type (aka brush
tool) anymore. So now the `data_block` member was just set dynamically to
match the active brush type which is otherwise irrelevant to the tool
system now.
Further, this will become important to bring back some of the tools that
use brushes in grease pencil draw mode, see #116337. For that we want to
keep the unified brush tool, but still allow other tools that only use a
specific brush type. So marking a tool as using brushes should be done
separately from indicating a specific brush type.
Removing/replacing the `data_block` member should happen separately
still, pending further developments (e.g. see #125449).

This rename the `Cutter` tool's name, code and icon to `Trim`.
The legacy Grease Pencil code is unchanged.
This was discussed in the 2024-07-30 Grease Pencil Module Meeting.
Reasons for the change:
- Match the `Trim Stroke Ends` setting on brushes.
- Match the `stroke_trim` operator.
- Name is more clear and more commonly used.
- Frees the name for a future boolean cutting tool.

This removes the terminal periods automatically added to the end of

Tools for grease pencil v3 weight paint mode weren't updated in
7b0ea0f1b4. Possibly because there was some back and forth in grease
pencil modes while this was being worked on.
This is the main merge commit of the brush assets project. The previous
commits did some preparing changes, more tweaks are in the following commits.
Also, a lot of the more general work was already merged into the main branch
over the last two years.
With the new design, quite some things can be removed/replaced:
- There's a unified "Brush" tool now, brush based tools and all special
handling is removed.
- Old tool and brush icons are unsed now, and their initialization code
removed here. That means they draw as blank now, and the icon files can be
removed in a follow up.
- Creation of default brushes is unnecessary since brushes are now bundled in
the Essentials asset library. Icons/previews are handled as standard asset
previews.
- Grease pencil eraser options are replaced by a general default eraser brush
that can be set by the user.
More changes are planned still, see task list issue below.

When disabling the "Show Cursor" option in the tool settings for the
draw tool, the cursor was set to the OS default.
This was not the case in GPv2, which used the "Dot" cursor.
The fix enables the "Dot" cursor by default for the draw tool.
