In Blender 4.3 all the EEVEE Legacy compatibility Python API calls for
materials in were removed. All Python code that makes use of that API
need to be updated to make use of the new API.
This commit updates two built in Python scripts to use the new API
to avoid errors like the one reported in #130822
Candidate for 4.3.1 corrective release

The "X" button to delete a keymap entry is too close to the scrollbar,
potentially leading to misclicks that would delete data.
Add margin to the right of the buttons to prevent this.
The X button is now aligned when the box is open/closed.

addon_utils.enable/disable now handle wheels so that the functions can
be used with extension add-ons.
A new argument `refresh_handled` supports scripts handing refresh
themselves which is needed to avoid refreshing many times in cases
when there are multiple calls to enable/disable.
This is mostly useful for internal operations.
Adds the current GPU backend to the `Help -> Report a bug` script
when using the OpenGL or Vulkan backend. This makes it easier for
triagers to figure out if a user is using OpenGL or Vulkan
in cases the user doesn't explictly state which they're using.

Replace plain-text type information with the type syntax used
for Python's type annotations as it's more concise, especially for
callbacks which often didn't include useful type information.
Note that this change only applies to inline doc-strings,
generated doc-strings from RNA need to be updated separately.
Details:
- Many minor corrections were made when "list" was incorrectly used
instead of "sequence".
- Some type information wasn't defined in the doc-strings and has been
added.
- Verbose type info would benefit from support for type aliases.
The default value for `FLOAT_COLOR` attributes is white. We can't
change this default easily.
This fix will initialize the attributes accessed through the high-level
python API with their expected default value. In the case of
vertex colors, this is fully transparent black.

For now, PointerRNA is made non-trivial by giving explicit default
values to its members.
Besides of BPY python binding code, the change is relatively trivial.
The main change (besides the creation/deletion part) is the replacement
of `memset` by zero-initialized assignment (using `{}`).
makesrna required changes are quite small too.
The big piece of this PR is the refactor of the BPY RNA code.
It essentially brings back allocation and deletion of the BPy_StructRNA,
BPy_Pointer etc. python objects into 'cannonical process', using `__new__`,
and `__init__` callbacks (and there matching CAPI functions).
Existing code was doing very low-level manipulations to create these
data, which is not really easy to understand, and AFAICT incompatible
with handling C++ data that needs to be constructed and destructed.
Unfortunately, similar change in destruction code (using `__del__` and
matching `tp_finalize` CAPI callback) is not possible, because of technical
low-level implementation details in CPython (see [1] for details).
`std::optional` pointer management is used to encapsulate PointerRNA
data. This allows to keep control on _when_ actual RNA creation is done,
and to have a safe destruction in `tp_dealloc` callbacks.
Note that a critical change in Blender's Python API will be that classes
inherinting from `bpy_struct` etc. will now have to properly call the
base class `__new__` and/or `__init__`if they define them.
Implements #122431.

This fixes the issue by traversing the new data structure for actions.
* When a slot is assigned, the action is baked into the slot.
* if no slot is assigned, it creates a new slot and bakes into that. However since no slot was assigned, the animation will be static.

The issue was that the strokes were not using the `POLY` type and
needed to be tagged.
This adds a function `tag_positions_changed` on the `GreasePencilDrawing`
so that the high-level python API can tag the positions if
the `point.position` attibute is written to.

Essentially, our current code would not properly remove (dereference)
its python objects matching various RNA data created during execution.
Some cases are fairly trivial to understand (like the lack of handling
of unregstering for our 'startup' operators and UI), other were more
subtle (like unregistered PropertyGroups who would remove/free their RNA
struct definition, without releasing first the potential matching python
object).
