This patch enhances the quality setting of the Glare node. Previously,
Medium and Low quality were implemented using a single tap interpolation
downsampling filter, which means small highlights that only span a small
number of pixels could be missed during downsampling, and that might
change across frames, causing flickering.
To fix this, we use a higher quality downsampling filter that averages
the entire 2x2 or 4x4 pixel blocks for the Medium and Low quality
settings respectively.
The upsampling pass also needs to be improved to avoid offsets, but this
will be implemented separately.

On the macOS deps builder, if certain libraries were installed
system-wide using Homebrew, they could be prioritized during the
linking of dependencies over our own versions, causing breakages
when running the built libraries on other systems.
For OpenColorIO, homebrew Imath could be linked if installed.
For TIFF (& libjpeg as a transitive dep), homebrew libdeflate
could be linked if installed.
This commit fixes both of these issues by directly specifying the
library path to prevent the linker from wrongly inferring it to a
system-wide path.
We have to execute math node both for real Grid tree nodes and for background
values. So internal logic of sharing background values will work in case such
values are used by some nodes.
A field input is evaluated on a tile with maximum bounds to get the background
value.

This patch removes the properties that were marked as deprecated in the
4.x series and was planned for removal in 5.0. Some DNA members were
marked as deprecated or removed in correspondence with this change.

This enables the new .blend file format as described in #129309 and implemented
in 6a90382390 by default. This allows storing
blocks larger then 2GB inside the file. This is a necessary requirement to be
able to store e.g. meshes with more than a few hundred million vertices.
There is a new debug option that can be used to force Blender to write the older
file format. This is especially useful when using tools that have not been
updated to be able to read the new format yet.
Compatibility:
* Blender 4.5 is able to read the new format for a few months already, so 4.5
LTS will be able to read these files
(6a90382390).
* The internal `blendfile.py` which is used by `blend2json.py` has been updated
(d83bfee347).
* blender-asset-tracer (BAT) has been updated
(blender/blender-asset-tracer@f1ee7980b2).
* `blend_render_info.py` will be updated soon (#140341).

The `General` settings layout can be disabled by unchecking `use_custom_props`,
an since this button button is within this layout it can't be activated back.
NOTE: See that the button can be activated back if the checkbox is still
hovered after being unchecked, if the mouse moves out it can't be enabled back.

Changes `MultiresDisplacementData` to use a `blender::Array` instead of
a manually allocated pointer to allow for using `Span`s and avoid
further manual memory management.
Note that `MultiresDisplacementData` is already handled via C++ style
`new` & `delete` and does not need to be converted as a prerequisite.

* Uses references where possible
* Adds const where appropriate
This commit only modifies the internal methods, and does not touch any

Auto normalization used to not work on assign/remove vertex group
operator, this was due to `BKE_object_defgroup_validmap_get` and
`vgroup_parray_alloc` did not handle grease pencil type objects. Now
added grease pencil cases in them and auto normalization works as
expected.

If view items button is active, call `ui_layout_list_set_labels_active` to
set the `SELECT` flag on label button. Due to this flag being set, text_sel theme
color is copied to `wcol.text` (see `UI_SELECT` condition in `widget_state()`).
This `wcol.text` is later used inside `widget_draw_text()` for text color.

`seq_need_scale_to_render_size` returned true, when scaling was not
needed. The code that used this function worked correctly, so the logic
was inverted in both places.
Clarify the terms for NDOF translation & rotation sensitivity.
Previously translation was named: "ndof_sensitivity" making it
sound like it would control rotation as well.
- Use return values for NDOF access functions.
- Pass in event data by const reference as this is never null.
- Don't scale the angle from WM_event_ndof_to_axis_angle by the time
delta since other functions don't do this, it's strange to make
this an exception.
- Replace the term "pan" with "translation" since pan in Blender
typically refers to moving the view in 2D using cursor input,
not 3D transaction.
- Use a more descriptive term "time_delta" for the time between NDOF
motion events.
Regression in [0] caused NDOF panning to be reversed
and zoom to be inverted in the 3D viewport.
- Use 2D viewport behavior for cameras & rotation locked views
since the navigation mode is not used in these cases.
- Restore the same zoom direction as 4.4x.

Adds a Point Instancing exporter based on the existing
USDPointInstancerReader. Covers both round-trip and Blender-native
workflows. Exports 'Instance on Points' setups as USDGeomPointInstancer,
supporting objects, collections, and nested prototypes.
A warning is shown during export if invalid prototype references are
detected. These would occur if an instancer attempts to instance itself.
This feature is currently gated behind an off-by-default export option
(`use_instancing`) as there are still a few cases which can yield
incorrect results.

The remaining function, `eval_vertex_data` is left as a raw array for
now, as the format is not cleanly defined, and is either 3 floats or 6
floats, depending on different settings enabled.

This PR slightly increases the area border padding at the window edges.
The current lack of padding looks awkward when paired with area
highlighting since that line hits the window edges.
