Part of #134755 / #134766.
Replaces the current import method menu in the middle of the Asset
Browser header with a "Import Settings" popover. The import method is
located there now, because it doesn't need to be as prominent as it used
to be, especially with #104686.
Plan is to add further settings to this popover, e.g. see #135996 or
#134943.
Before this patch, Video Output using FFmpeg video
display lot of parameters.
But some of theses have a meaning only for some codec
(mainly lossy gop codecs : H264, H265, AV1...)
Hide not useful parameters for codec :
'DNXHD', 'FFV1', 'HUFFYUV', 'PNG', 'QTRLE'
- DNXHD : intra frame codec, encoding setting depends of a profile
- FFV1/QTRLE : Intra or P frames only. Lossless codec
- HUFFYUV/PNG : Intra lossless codec

The import nodes are considered complete enough to expose without
the experimental option. This commit removes the option so they will
be exposed in 4.5. There are still some possible future improvements,
including automatic caching, possibly exposing more input sockets,
and possibly including imported paths in the "Internal Dependencies"
panel. Those are considered non blocking though.

Add 12, 8, and 6 FPS presets often used in stylized animation,
especially in 2D/Grease Pencil animation.
12 FPS to animate on 2's, 8 FPS on 3's, 6 FPS on 4's or for
early blocking stages or storyboard.

Part of #134755 / #134766.
The asset browser currently lacks a compact view that leaves names
readable. Especially when managing asset libraries (e.g. to prepare it
for sharing or set up a production library), this is quite a usability
issue. A column view like the file browser has can solve this, allowing
a quick overview and fast browsing of libraries, while keeping names
readable.
Adds a new "Horizontal List" display mode to the asset browser that
distributes assets over multiple columns, with horizontal scrolling.
Asset previews are shown in this mode, plus an asset type icon if
there's enough space. The size of previews and the columns can be
configured next to the display mode, for optimizing the display.

This patch adds the ability to snap to the frame range bounds in the VSE
timeline, on by default. End frame snap location is offset by 1 to
ensure the snap point aligns with the visible end frame boundary
(otherwise e.g. right handle of strip would be one frame short).
Timeline and preview snapping is also turned on by default using the
same versioning block.

This PR enabled GPU based subdivision on Metal.
Most work is done in #135296.
- Metal max storage bindings for compute shaders were never set.
Some performance figures: Suzanne 6 subdivision levels
| Machine | CPU Subdivision | GPU Subdivision |
| --------------- | --------------- | --------------- |
| M1 Studio Ultra | 7fps | 12 fps |
| M2 Air | 3fps | 11 fps |

This PR enabled GPU subdivision on Vulkan backend. Measured
performance is slower compared to CPU on my system. But it is
expected that other bottlenecks should be solved in order to
fully benefit from this feature.
We enable it so we keep track of the performance bottlenecks.

draw_attribute_warnings() called in every attribute panel code.
Following function iterates through entire attribute list
mesh.attributes along with vgroup list to identify the colliding name.
This results in printing collision names in irrelavant panels. Now fixed
by passing relevant attributes to compare in `draw_attribute_warnings`.
First find colliding names, add them to the list if they exists in current attribute list
passed to the function

As a small addition to the import node features for 4.5,
this simple node imports a text file as a string. Potential
use cases include retrieving text for motion graphics.
Currently this just allows .txt files. More extensions could
be allowed in the future.

When accessing the key-map for tooltips it's important to use
the final "user" keymap, combine from "active" & "default".
Using the active keyconfig would only keys from key-maps that had
been modified.
This commit adds the `sculpt.mask_by_color` operator to the 'Mask' menu item in Sculpt Mode. This
allows users to access it via operator / property search. Additionally, the Redo panel is exposed
for general usage.

Add this operator to the dropdown menu to the right of the attribute list
for curves and point cloud geometries. For these geometry types the
operator can run in edit mode too, unlike meshes.
Added entries for operators missing in the Curves edit mode context and
topbar menus as mentioned in #105253.
Ordered menu entries based on legacy and mesh menus but it's not
identical as the operator set is reduced. Prioritized keeping group
classification consistent between the menus when deriving the layout.

Adds the option to create a boolean socket that can be used as a panel toggle.
This allows creating simpler and more compact node group UIs when a panel
can be "disabled".
The toggle input is a normal input socket that is just drawn a bit differently in
the UI. Whether a boolean is a toggle input or not does not affect evaluation.
Also see #133936 for guides on how to add and remove panel toggles.

This adds a new `Visual Geometry to Objects` operator which is added to the
`Apply` menu.
It creates new objects from the evaluated geometry of the active object. Other
than e.g. applying modifiers, this operator does keep all generated data and
creates new objects and collections for instances. It does have some
similarities to `Make Instances Real` with the main difference that it doesn't
actually realize instances, i.e. instanced geometry is still shared between all
objects using it.
It does intentionally not replace the original object, because the semantics of
that aren't all that obvious. It's especially tricky when the object was
referenced by other objects. Instance attributes are not preserved currently.

The issue was introduced on 1584cd9aa5 (see !134911 for details).
This fixes this and rename the remaining point_cloud from the API.
The DNA is left untouched, so users don't need to re-enable the
experimental point cloud feature.

With the brush assets project, brushes were moved from being local to
the working blendfile to being linked from asset libraries. This breaks
the Image Paint 'Clone' brush, as it has a brush property that links to
other Image datablocks.
To support this functionality, this commit adds the corresponding
properties into the `ImagePaintSettings` struct so that it is stored
locally with the images that will be used by the tool, inside the main
blendfile.
The source image property is shared with the 3D version of the 'Clone'
brush instead of adding a separate field to preserve old behavior.
Notably, this has the following limitations:
* If clone brush assets have been made and shared with external packs,
they would not work out of the box with linked image assets.
* Despite these settings being stored on the scene, they are populated
inside the tool window under "Brush Settings" which is potentially
misleading. However, this is already the case for the 3D version of
the brush, so further UI refinement will happen outside of this PR.
* Users will be unable to use separate images simultaneously for the
Image editor and the 3D viewport, unlike in pre-4.3 versions. This
can be adjusted in the future if it is a critical workflow.
Because the intended design and functionality of this tool is currently
questionable, this commit opts to make these changes instead of doing
further design to support both accessing data on the brush and on the
scene.

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

This adds:
- support for snapping for the pointcloud object (selection to cursor/
grid, cursor to selection)
- as usual, "Warp" an "Randomize" operators come along "for free" with
this
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/134799
Conversion was only possible if the active object was editable &
selected, this complicated overriding the operator from Python
since it wasn't enough to override the selection & active-object.
Now it's possible to use bpy.ops.object.convert() from Python
overriding the selected_editable_objects only.
For users the difference isn't so significant:
- Having an active object is no longer required.
- It's possible there are no objects to operate on,
as previously the active object was used to check at least one
object could be converted, although this check wasn't fool-proof
as it didn't check the objects data-type.

This reverts 06a2617107.
Commit has introduced few errors from user perspective (#134277) and
python side (#134380). Best to revert it now then handle the bug fixes later.
The error in #134380 was due to `context.layer_collection` and
`active_layer_collection` returning excluded collection.
