This adds a new dialog that is shown whenever a file is closed.
So, either when a new file is opened, or when Blender quits.
The dialog allows to save unsaved changes. Furthermore it also
allows saving images that have been modified in Blender, but are
not saved yet.
Known limitations:
* Images that have no file path and have not been packed before,
are not saved.
* On MacOS the old dialog is shown when Blender quits.

This was discussed in the past, the idea is to get the outliner even more compact.
Also to let users to use the viewport selection restriction further.
It would be nice to haven indication that an invisible column is set, but this is
no particular to the selection column.
very straightforward: initialize default to the same hard limit as the
RNA properties.
Annoying part is that it's not trivial to make RNA to use same BLI functions,
so leaving that behind for now.
The goal is to prevent assignment of temporary or evaluated meshes
to objects from the main database.
Majority of the change is actually related on passing reports around.
On a positive side there are more error prints which can become more
visible to scripters.
There are still possible further improvements in the related areas.
For example, disable user counting for evaluated ID datablocks when
assignment happens. But can also happen later on as a separate
improvement.

This is to simplify the usage of Volumetrics.
Now it automatically detect if there is any Volumetric material in the
view and allocate the needed buffer if any.
- Move the Channels setting to the View panel
- Remove double separators in the View panel
- Close the Scene panel by default - it only applies in rare cases
- Move the Frame Overlay from the header to a sidebar panel
Previously it used a strange ghost icon, and it make the other controls jump around
Now uses clearer naming

After recent dependency graph API changes it became easy to violate
ownership design (since its changed) and request removal of out-of-main
temporary mesh. This confuses Blender and can cause crashes/locks.
Fixes T64731: Blender freezes after assigning result of object.to_mesh()
This patch does not bring any functional change, but it does expose
some utilities that can be very useful to correct occlusion and
performance problems of Circle Select and similar.
Creating a selection context still makes it easier to track issues.
Makes the result of object.to_mesh() and bpy.meshes.new_from_object()
to be the same as what is visible in the viewport.
This makes Cycles to respect modifiers enabled in edit mode, and should
also easy some scripter's work. The final render still needs some work,
which, maybe, will be about forcing objects out of editing modes.
For existing files, it will use the setting from Cycles or Eevee depending on
the render engine in the scene.

We can not access ensured-to-be-evaluated dependency graph from the
render API: some of it is running from within evaluation which makes
it possible for engines to access list of evaluated IDs.
Solved by passing dependency graph to viewport functions, similar to
the final render functions.
Blender menu:
- Move Preferences to the top as it is used often.
- Introduce two new sub-menus
- About - links from Help menu, plus link to license section in blender.org
- Support Blender - dev fund, store, they used to be in Help menu.
Help menu:
- Add links to Tutorials and Support section in blender.org

- Always show Python API Reference link
One of the usecases is to create mesh from an object is a manner similar to
how Apply Modifiers does it, and have it in the bmain so it can be referenced
by other objects.
This usecase is something what went unnoticed in the previous API changes, so
here is a followup.
Summary of changes:
* bpy.meshes.new_from_object() behaves almost the same as before this change.
The difference now is that it now ensures all referenced data-blocks are
original (for example, materials referenced by the mesh).
* object.to_mesh() now creates free-standing Mesh data-block which is outside
of any bmain. The object owns it, which guarantees the memory never leaks.
It is possible to force free memory by calling object.to_mesh_clear().

EEVEE assumed that the OGL renderer did FSAA, as the FSAA was removed we
needed to revalidate this assumption. The temporal sampling only inited
the matrices during init phase. As now we need to update the matrices
for every sample rendered the code for updating the matrices was
isolated in a new function `EEVEE_temporal_sampling_update_matrices`.
