This patch adds activate_file_by_relative_path(relative_path="") and
deselect_all() function to the space api of the File Browser. While the
first sets the active file and adds it to the selection based on a
relative path to the current File Browser directory the second one
deselects all files but does not change the active file.

Addresses T77127 (Controller Drawing).
Adds VR controller visualization and custom drawing via draw
handlers. Add-ons can draw to the XR surface (headset display) and
mirror window by adding a View3D draw handler of region type 'XR' and
draw type 'POST_VIEW'. Controller drawing and custom overlays can be
toggled individually as XR session options, which will be added in a
future update to the VR Scene Inspection add-on.
For the actual drawing, the OpenXR XR_MSFT_controller_model extension
is used to load a glTF model provided by the XR runtime. The model's
vertex data is then used to create a GPUBatch in the XR session
state. Finally, this batch is drawn via the XR surface draw handler
mentioned above.
For runtimes that do not support the controller model extension, a
a simple fallback shape (sphere) is drawn instead.

Tree-view items can now easily define their own context menu. This works
by overriding the `ui::AbstractTreeViewItem::build_context_menu()`
function. See the documentation:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/Interface/Views#Context_Menus
Consistently with the Outliner and File Browser, the right-clicked item
also gets activated. This makes sure the correct context is set for the
operators and makes it clear to the user which item is operated on.
An operator to rename the active item is also added, which is something
you'd typically want to put in the context menu as well.
In a couple of places in the UI, we show superimposed icons on buttons
to execute an operation (called "Extra Icons" internally). Hovering them
would show the tooltip of the underlying button, which is misleading and
confusing.
There are cases where it's not obvious what an icon does, so a tooltip
would be quite useful here. It's likely we are going to use superimposed
icons in more places in the future, e.g. see D11890.
The extra icon basically acts as an override for the button in the
tooltip code.

- Add pivot pie menu.
This reworks how tree rows are constructed in the layout and how they
behave in return.
* To open or collapse a row, the triangle/chevron icon has to be clicked
now. The previous behavior of allowing to do it on the entire row, but
only if the item was active already, was just too unusual and felt
weird.
* Reduce margin between chevron icon and the row label.
* Indent child items without chevron some more, otherwise they feel like
a row on the same level as their parent, just without chevron.
* Fix renaming button taking entire row width. Respect indentation now.
* Fix double-clicking to rename toggling collapsed state on each click.
Some hacks/special-handling was needed so tree-rows always highlight
while the mouse is hovering them, even if the mouse is actually hovering
another button inside the row.
Now the icons to add or delete catalogs are only shown when mouse hovering a
catalog item in the tree. This is convenient for quick creation of catalogs,
and doesn't require activating a catalog to edit it first.
Determining if a tree item is hovered isn't trivial actually. The UI tree-view
code has to find the matching tree-row button in the previous layout to do so,
since the new layout isn't calculated yet.
The UI code to ensure consistent button state over redraws was just comparing
the name of the item, ignoring the parent names. So with multiple items of the
same name, there might have been glitches (didn't see any myself though).
There's a leftover to-do though, we don't check yet if the matched buttons are
actually from the same tree. Added TODO comment.
Catalogs can now be renamed by double clicking them in the Asset
Browser. This is mostly done through the tree-view API, the asset
specific code is very little.
There is some polish left to be done here, e.g. the double click
currently also collapses/uncollapses and activates the clicked item. And
the rename button takes the full width of the row. But addressing these
is better done as part of some other behavioral changes that are planned
anyway.
Issue was that the `on_activate()` callback of tree-items were
continuously called, because the active-state was queried before we
fully reconstructed the tree and its state from the previous redraw.
Such issues could happen in more places, so I've refactored the API a
bit to reflect the requirements for state queries, and include some
sanity checks.
The actual fix for the issue is to delay the state change until the tree
is fully reconstructed, by letting the tree-items pass a callback to
check if they should be active.
The `ui::BasicTreeViewItem` took a function-like object to execute on
item activation via the constructor. This was mainly intended to be used
with lambdas. However, it's confusing to just have this lambda there,
with no indication of what it's for (activation).
Instead, assign the function-like object via an explicit `on_activate()`
function.
This adds an offscreen View3D window area for the VR view in order to
execute XR events/operators in the proper context. The area is created
as runtime data before XR events are dispatched and set as the active
area during XR event handling.
Since the area is runtime-only, it will not be saved in files and since
the area is offscreen, it will not interfere with regular window areas.
The area is removed with the rest of the XR runtime data on exit, file
read, or when stopping the VR session.
Note: This also adds internal types (EVT_DATA_XR, EVT_XR_ACTION) and
structs (wmXrActionData) for XR events.

Makes sure that the active item of a tree never has collapsed parent
items, which can be confusing if it happens. E.g. for the asset catalogs
UI, the active catalog decides which assets are visible. Having it
hidden while being the main factor deciding which assets are visible is
quite confusing.
I think it makes sense to have this at the UI Tree-View level, rather
than doing it manually in the asset catalog code for example. Seems like
something you'd commonly want. We can make it optional in the API if
needed.
Renamed the `set_active()` function to make clear that it is more than a
mere setter.
Adds an easy way to add drop support for tree-view rows.
Most of the work is handled by the tree-view UI code. The tree items can
simply override a few functions (`can_drop()`, `on_drop()`,
`drop_tooltip()`) to implement their custom drop behavior.
While dragging over a tree-view item that can be dropped into/onto, the
item can show a custom and dynamic tooltip explaining what's gonna
happen on drop.
This isn't used yet, but will soon be for asset catalogs.

The Asset Browser now displays a tree with asset catalogs in the left
sidebar.
This replaces the asset categories. It uses the new UI tree-view API
(https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/Interface/Views#Tree-View).
Buttons are displayed for adding and removing of catalogs. Parent items
can be collapsed, but the collapsed/uncollapsed state is not stored in
files yet.
Note that edits to catalogs (e.g. new or removed catalogs) are only
written to the asset library's catalog definition files when saving a
.blend.
In the "Current File" asset library, we try to show asset catalogs from
a parent asset library, or if that fails, from the directory the file is
stored in. See adaf4f56e1.
There are plenty of TODOs and smaller glitches to be fixed still. Plus a
UI polishing pass should be done.
Important missing UI features:
* Dragging assets into catalogs (WIP, close to being ready).
* Renaming catalogs
* Proper handling of catalogs in the "Current File" asset library
(currently not working well).
The "Current File" asset library is especially limited still. Since this
is the only place where you can assign assets to a catalog, this makes
the catalogs very cumbersome in general. To assign an asset to a
catalog, one has to manually copy the Catalog ID (a random hash like
number) to the asset metadata through a temporary UI in the Asset
Browser Sidebar. These limitations should be addressed over the next few
days, they are high priority.

Own mistake when making NLA overridable, instead of assuming things
about the ID owner of the animation data being processed, properly
return and use the one found by `ED_actedit_animdata_from_context`.
Currently the Drivers Editor shows this (the blue thing can be dragged
to change frame):
{F10647661}
But the Drivers Editors X axis is the output of the driver [which can be
further tweaked by the curve] not time(frame).
So it seems better to not mix them here, it is just confusing to have
two different units on one axis.
Especially since what we really want to look at in X (the drivers output
value) can be in a totally unrelated range compared to frames, so e.g.
we might be interested in a drivers range from 0.0 to 1.0 and a
framerange of 100 to 200, so putting this on one axis just does not make
sense. Better to use a separate timeline for this.
Note 2.79 also did not do this.

This follows three main targets:
* Make creation of new tree UIs easy.
* Groundwork to generalize tree UIs (so e.g. Outliner, animation
channels, asset catalogs and spreadsheet data-sets don't have to
re-implement basic tree UI code) or even other data-view UIs.
* Better separate data and UI state. E.g. with this, tree-item selection
or the open/collapsed state can be stored on the UI level, rather than
in data. (Asset Catalogs need this, storing UI state info in them is
not an option.)
In addition, the design should be well testable and could even be
exposed to Python.
Note that things will likely change in master still. E.g. the actually

Creating some primitives allows for a scale value (via python) that will
scale the object accordingly. For objects with a radius parameter
(like cylinders, spheres, etc.) passing a scale different to (1,1,1)
would result in unexpected behavior.
For example:
`>>> bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_uv_sphere_add(radius=2, scale=(1,1,2))`
We would expect this to create a sphere with a radius of 2
(dimensions 4,4,4) and then be scaled *2 along the z-axis
(dimensions 4,4,8). But this would previously create a scaled sphere
with dimensions (2,2,4).
The scale was simply divided by two. Maybe because the "radius"
parameter for creating the primitives was confusingly named "diameter"
(but used as the radius).
The fix adds a scale parameter to `ED_object_new_primitive_matrix`
and also renames the wrongly named "diameter" parameters to "radius".

- Less delay in node editor scrolling:
Delay is useful when scrolling through long lists, such as in the
outliner, but makes node scrolling feel sluggish and unresponsive.
The lower scroll speed here makes a faster response the better option.
- Zoom influence feature:
Somewhat slower scrolling in UI-space when zoomed out. With the 0.5
zoom influence factor nodes behave as if zoom factor is halved,
otherwise it gets too fast when zoomed out. Previously scrolling would
always be constant-speed in UI space, now it's half-way between UI
space and node (view) space.
