Add-ons "bl_info" was supported for add-ons which weren't registered,
however the real modules weren't handled causing module_bl_info()
to return dummy values when an extensions add-ons module was passed in.
This caused the minimum Blender version check after enabling an add-on
to do nothing.
Now the "bl_info" from extension modules is ignored and the bl_info
is created on demand from the manifest.
- Add a warning when an extensions meta-data is missing.
- Remove the time-stamps from message that time-stamps have changes
since knowing the exact times isn't helpful.
Appending then removing a draw function caused the is_extended()
method to return true afterwards, resolve by checking if there are
multiple draw functions.
- Rename info to bl_info, to avoid confusion with extensions manifest,
which should eventually be accessible in a similar way.
- Rename module_name to addon_module_name to avoid confusion with
extension repositories name-spaced modules.
- Clarify naming for TOML manifest.
This is an optional parameter for int properties, which then show up as
enum properties.
Included fix: reset ID properties' enum items when the `items` parameter is `None`.
Example usage:
```python
import rna_prop_ui
# Add a regular int property.
rna_prop_ui.rna_idprop_ui_create(D.objects['Cube'], "test", default=123, min=-3, max=500)
# Change to an enum property with items (min/max are ignored).
rna_prop_ui.rna_idprop_ui_create(D.objects['Cube'], "test", default=0, min=-10, max=10, items=[("APPLES", "Apples", ""), ("ORANGES", "Oranges", "")])
# Switch back to regular int property.
rna_prop_ui.rna_idprop_ui_create(D.objects['Cube'], "test", default=1, min=0, max=10)
```

This is needed so extensions repositories can reference
user-script directories without them having hard-coded paths
which will be invalid when upgrading a Blender version.
Package management has been moved into addons_contrib so the addon
can be enabled when enabling extension repositories.
This means users can test extension repositories without having to
install a separate add-on.
Additional work is still needed with the server before this is ready
for general testing though.
Part of #117286.
Add-ons using the extension API now follow changes to their
repositories.
- Removing a repository disables and removes associated add-ons.
- Disabling a repository disables the add-on but keeps add-on &
its preferences.
- Enabling a repository re-enables add-ons that use it.
- Renaming a repository updates the names of associated add-ons &
it's preferences.
Enabling & disabling a repository removed it's module from sys.modules
but kept any sub-modules (in this case add-ons).
The problem with this is enabling the add-ons again could reuse the
cached modules which failed to include the add-on in the parent
modules name-space.
This meant `dir(bl_ext.repo_module)` couldn't be used to access
sub-modules.
It is very common for graphical editors with layers to support
locking individual layers to protect them from accidental edits due
to misclicks. Blender itself already supports locking vertex groups.
This adds lock toggles for shape keys, with lock/unlock all operators.
The flags are checked by sculpt brushes, edit mode transform tools,
and Smooth, Propagate and Blend From Shape operators. This selection
aims to cover operations that only deform the mesh, where the shape
key selection matters.
Topology changing operations always apply to all keys, and thus
incorrect shape key selection is less impactful. Excluding them
from the new feature greatly reduces the patch size.

Expected format is `%Y-%m-%d %H:%M%z`.
Previous code would not generate the expected format of timestamps for
PO files headers (specifically in the the `POT-Creation-Date` field).
This could lead to some parsers (like e.g. the `sphinx_intl.load_po`
function) failing to load these PO files.
Note: since `datetime` module requires additional gymnastic to get valid
timezone info,switched back to the simpler `time` module here.
All times are expressed in UTC (aka GMT) timezone, since these are also
the values stored for Blender buildtimes.
Reported by @hoanguk in the Blender translations chat, thanks.
This would raise a SystemExit, showing it's stack trace into Python's
code module, then a syntax error on any input immediately afterwards.
Now exception is printed & the input for the Python console is reset.
Address some issues raised by #109435.
The previous commit introduced a new `RPT_()` macro to translate
strings which are not tooltips or regular interface elements, but
longer reports or statuses.
This commit uses the new macro to translate many strings all over the
UI.
Most of it is a simple replace from `TIP_()` or `IFACE_()` to
`RPT_()`, but there are some additional changes:
- A few translations inside `BKE_report()` are removed altogether
because they are already handled by the translation system.
- Messages inside `UI_but_disable()` are no longer translated
manually, but they are handled by a new regex in the translation
system.

Translation of the UI is currently split into 3 preferences:
interface, tooltips, and new data. The distinction between interface
and tooltips is currently unclear as tooltips also include a lot of
messages not displayed in the actual tooltips on mouse hover.
These include reports to the Info Editor, information in editor
headers and footers, and statuses in panels.
In order to limit the use of `TIP_()` to actual tooltips, this commit
introduces a new preference for this extra information: "Reports".
New translation macros are introduced: `RPT_()` and `CTX_RPT_()`, as
well as their equivalent for the Python API, `pgettext_rpt_()`, to be
imported as `rpt_()`.

Add a `bone_collection.bones_recursive` property that returns the set of
bones assigned to that bone collection or any of its child collections.
This property is implemented in Python, as that made it considerably
simpler to create the set semantics.
Add custom properties to Action Bake.
objects will bake all animatable custom properties. Armatures will bake all bone custom properties,
as well as object (armature) custom properties.

Ensure tool keymaps are registered when calling:
bl_keymap_utils.keymap_hierarchy.generate() in background mode.
This is an alternative to !116299 that doesn't require keymap
initialization in background mode.
Thanks to Damien Picard's for reporting & investigating this issue.
Extract:
- Compositor error messages.
- `bUnitDef`s were broken after cleanup commit 2b77cd726d. Since each
unit's "display name" is now preceded by a consistent "name_display"
comment, the regex which extracts the unit is greatly simplified.
It now relies on the presence of the comment instead of the struct
order.
- "Preset" menu and "Apply Preset" button from the curveprofile
template.
- Operator labels from the catalog context menu.
Disambiguate:
- "Bake Data": can mean "Which data to bake" (verb), or "The data that
were baked" (noun).
- "Cache" in the Simulation Nodes panel is a verb, not a noun.
- "Mix" in the snapping menu is a noun, not a verb.
- "Top" and "Bottom" can mean the upper part of an object or the
highest point or element of something like a menu or list.

Adds initial support for File Handler registration with the python API
for design task #68935. File Handlers will allow developers to associate
additional UI behavior and capability to operators traditionally used
only within the file browser.
The initial commit should have no user visible changes, but will serve
as the foundation for providing file drag & drop capabilities to
operators that can manage files (#111242).
See the PR for an example of python usage.
See design task #68935 for remaining work to be explored in the future.

Between Blender versions, properties of some operators may be removed.
When this happens, when importing the keymap from the previous version,
a series of warnings may appear in the console. For example:
```
Warning: property 'alt_navigation' not found in item 'TRANSFORM_OT_translate'
Warning: property 'alt_navigation' not found in item 'TRANSFORM_OT_rotate'
Warning: property 'alt_navigation' not found in item 'TRANSFORM_OT_resize'
Warning: property 'alt_navigation' not found in item 'VIEW3D_OT_edit_mesh_extrude_move_normal'
...
```
Therefore, it seems to be convenient to edit these properties when
versioning.
This commit implements a `remove_properties` utility that makes this
removal simpler.

Store paint masks as generic float attributes, with the name
`".sculpt_mask"`. This is similar to 060a534141, which made
the same change for face sets. The benefits are general
consistency, nicer code, and more support in newer areas
that deal with attributes like geometry nodes.
The RNA API is replaced with one created in Python. The new
API only presents a single layer as an attribute class, so it
should be simpler to use in general:
- Before: `object.data.vertex_paint_masks[0].data[0].value`
- After: `object.data.vertex_paint_mask.data[0].value`

Discussed in #114646.
This commit transforms the "alt_navigation" option of the transform
operators into a new modal key item. "PASSTHROUGH_NAVIGATE"
In addition to cleaning up a lot of the code, it allows you to
customize the key chosen to navigate while transforming.
