In the past, around the time that 2.80 was released, 4a08b974f4
introduced the idea of filtering out certain editor changes inside
the paint modes and edit mode (e.g. changing brush sizes in the editor).
This commit is the first in a series to attempt to refine this behavior
so that only certain editor settings are filtered out from the undo
stack.
In total, it does the following:
* Adds the Brush datablock to the list of IDs that do not have undo
pushes.
* Adds support to filter out RNA structs that do not have the
`STRUCT_UNDO` property applied (currently, just the 3D Cursor).
This has the following effects:
* Changing brush settings inside the Image Editor no longer causes
undo pushes, becoming consistent with the other paint modes.
* Changing brush settings while in object mode in the outliner data
block view no longer causes undo pushes.

Move the mask_random function to BLI_index_mask.hh, so it can be shared between curves, grease pencil and point cloud.
Copied/inspired by the curves select code.

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

Previously the object join operator wasn't implemented for the new
curves type. This commit implements the joining by passing the selected
curves geometry as instances to the realize instances function. That way
the complexity of the new code just relates to dealing with objects.

This PR adds three SVG Icons. One to represent that an icon is not
found - ICON_NOT_FOUND - so represent when an out-of-range value was
used to specify an icon. The second - ICON_CHAR_NOTDEF - is to
represent that a text character is not found in the specified font or
font stack. The third - ICON_CHAR_REPLACEMENT - is to indicate the
portion of a text string that contains invalid bytes.

the current ICON_GRIP works great when it has lots of horizontal space,

Implement a basic undo system making use of implicit
sharing to avoid copies for stored attribute arrays.
Functionally this has no benefit over memfile undo,
but current undo system architecture requires each
edit mode to implement an undo type.

Select All operator and boiler plate for future point cloud operators.
The selection code is basically copied/inspired by the curves selection
code. A lot of it could probably be moved to shared attribute selection
functions.
Note, while this patch is working well, there are some caveats
to test it:
* Shortcuts are being defined (you can see them in the Preferences). Yet
they are not working for whatever reason.
* There is no way to visualize the selection. I've been testing it by
using a Nodes tool that changes the material based on selection.

And replace nullptr arguments for tooltips in UI button
creation functions with std::nullopt. Though the distinction
between "no tooltip" and "empty tooltip" doesn't seem to exist,
it seems safer to keep the distinction since it existed with null before.
Currently node tools always adds a dependency graph update tag. In
sculpt mode this causes the paint BVH to be rebuilt, which causes a
complete rebuild of the sculpt mode draw data. Both are quite expensive
relative to most other operations. Also, node tools currenly always
uses the "geometry" sculpt undo type, which causes its own depsgraph
update tag.
Arguably a depsgraph geometry reevaluation shouldn't cause a rebuild of the
BVH and draw data, but that's a limitation that's out of scope for now.
Most tools in sculpt mode avoid adding a depsgraph tag when they don't
change mesh topology for this reason.
This PR gives node tools the ability to check if the output mesh has a
different topology than the input. When the topology is the same,
we can use one of the specialized sculpt undo types for positions,
masks, or face sets. Though when more than one of these attributes changes,
we're still forced to still use the geometry undo type because sculpt undo
steps can only handle a single type of change.
In the end this results in much better performance for most simple node
tools that just deform the mesh or change masks or face sets.

Add a new callback `setting_post_update` to the `bAnimChannelType`

buttons and via `ANIM_channel_setting_set()`.
This is used when changing the NLA track SOLO and MUTE options, to
ensure that the dependency graph relationships get rebuilt.

The "Red Alert" color is currently hard-coded, which causes problems in
themes. It also has an Enum value of 0, which precludes using this
value as "unset". We also use Error, Warning, and Info colors that are
part of the Info Editor. This PR moves these out of the Info Editor
and into the "State" part of the theme. And then makes TH_REDALERT use
the TH_ERROR color.

f0db870822 added support for tree-views to remember state, but only to
remember their custom height for the start. This change makes the scroll
offset be remembered too.
Not remembering the scroll offset can be very annoying in some cases,
e.g. when working with bone collections and changing the active tab in
the properties editor often. In realistic, non-trivial bone collection
set ups this can lead to a lot of repeated scrolling.
Cherry-picked for the 4.4 release since this solves a real usability
issue with trivial changes. Discussed with Thomas and others.

The Grease Pencil `Clipboard` only stored a single `CurvesGeometry`. This meant
that the `Paste by Layer` operation (from 4.2 LTS) couldn't be implemented.
This PR adds an `Array` of `ClipboardLayer`s to the `Clipboard`. Each layer stores
the name of the Grease Pencil layer that it was copied from and the `CurvesGeometry`.
The `grease_pencil.paste` operator has a new property `type` (`ACTIVE` or `LAYER`)
that decides how to paste the strokes.
Using the `ACTIVE` type, the strokes of all the `ClipboardLayer`s get merged and then
pasted to the active layer.
Using the `LAYER` type, we first try to find layers to paste the `ClipboardLayer`s into.
We just look for matching layer names. If no matching layer is found, the strokes are
pasted into the active layer instead.
This should be consistent with how Grease Pencil used to behave in 4.2. LTS.

Also use Vector to store menu search items instead of a linked
list. And extend the change into the autocomplete API slightly.
The main benefit is to avoid measuring the length of strings over
and over, but the code also gets simpler.
Previous approach was using non-evaluated meshes to find the closest edge from a face index retrieved from the selection buffer.
This can fail though if the mesh is deformed or even altered to not have the same indices anymore (e.g. generating/masking modifiers).
In order to make this work, added `ED_mesh_pick_edge` which switches the selection context to edges directly
and picks from those. No need to map anything back and forth between original and evaluated, the selection buffer contains the original indices already.
Further logic (following the face loop) is untouched (and happens on the original geometry which is fine)
Should go into 4.2 LTS as well

Brush and pose asset operators were doing some avoidable roundtrips
through asset types, lookups and rather low level operations. This
indicates that the asset system APIs need some improvements. Moving
lower-level logic there can help avoiding errors, since implementation
details are kept inside the corresponding module.
- Avoid lookups for asset library reference in operator code, make asset
library itself construct it.
- Avoid redundant lookups for asset library definition (was looking up
the asset library definition in the Preferences from the library
reference type, just to turn it into the reference type again).
- Add utility for refreshing loading asset libraries
- Add utility for saving asset catalogs for an asset
- Remove unused function
Copy-paste of keyframes is now slot-aware. See [1] for the design.
[1]: https://developer.blender.org/docs/features/animation/tools/action-editor-copy-paste/
In short:
- Copy-paste still works broadly as it used to. Only the visible
F-Curves are pasted into.
- Slot identifiers matter when copying from multiple slots. When
copying from one slot, they don't.
- Selection of channels (either F-Curves or Slots) determines where
keys get pasted into.
- Pasting will either copy from the slot with the same identifier
(when identifiers matter), or paste whatever was copied (when they
do not).
- If both F-Curves and slots are selected, only the selected F-Curves
get pasted into, and slots without any selected F-Curves are ignored
(i.e. target is only defined by selected F-Curves, or only by
selected slots, never by a mixture).

This fixes the case when the screen update timer would not be reset
when seeking leading to screen updates happening mid frame.
For example when jumping to a keyframe during playback.
Note that this doesn't reset the timer when no audio is playing.
It would be nice to have it happen there as well. But it is probably not
too noticeable.

Similar to how brush assets are created and managed this
PR allows to export pose assets into a different library.
Because of this there is a limitation to this where each
asset is stored in a separate blend file.
This may be lifted in the future as there are planned changes in
the design phase: #122061
### Create Asset
Now available in the 3D viewport in the "Pose" menu: "Create Pose Asset".
The button in the Dope Sheet will now call this new operator as well.
Clicking either of those will open a popup in which you can:
* Choose the name of the asset, which library and catalog it goes into.
* Clicking "Create" will create a pose asset on disk in the given library.
It is possible to create files into an outside library or add it in the current file.
The latter option does a lot less since it basically just creates the
action and tags it as an asset.
If no Asset Shelf **AND** no Asset Browser is visible anywhere in Blender,
the Asset Shelf will be shown on the 3D viewport from which
the operator was called.
### Adjust Pose Asset
Right clicking a pose asset that has been created in the way described
before will have options to overwrite it.
Only the active object will be considered for updating a pose asset
Available Options (the latter 3 under the "Modify Pose Asset" submenu):
* Adjust Pose Asset: From the selected bones, update ONLY channels that
are also present in the asset. This is the default.
* Replace: Will completely replace the data in the Pose Asset from
the current selection
* Add: Adds the current selection to the Pose Asset. Any already existing
channels have their values updated
* Remove: Remove selected bones from the pose asset
Currently this refreshes the thumbnail. In the case of custom
thumbnails it might not be something want
### Deleting an existing Pose Asset
Right click on a Pose Asset and hit "Delete Pose Asset". Works in the shelf
and in the asset library. Doing so will pop up a confirmation dialog,
if confirming, the asset is gone forever. Deleting a local asset is basically the
same as clearing the asset. This is a bit confusing because you get
two options that basically do the same thing sometimes,
but "Delete" works in other cases as well.
I currently don't see a way around that.

- Fixes preview flickering on actions like undo/redo in the asset shelf (#93726), not yet for the
file browser.
- Fixes#130861.
Makes the asset shelf use the asynchronous preview loading system of the UI instead of the file
browser one. The issues above where mostly caused by the file browser caching design.
The asset system and its UIs can now manage previews independently of the file browser back-end.
This is another step towards making the asset system independent of the file browser, see
https://developer.blender.org/docs/features/asset_system/fundamentals/from_file_browser_to_asset_system/.
Code to query asset previews through file browser types is removed.
Quite some work was done to prepare the UI preview system for this, to make it on par with the file
browser preview system. E.g.: 9d83061ed4, 315e7e04a8, 5055adc1c0, 16ab6111f7.
Note that the same change should be done to the asset/file browser, but this requires more work.

This patch adds support for drag and dropping colors (from color buttons) into
the Compositing, Shading and Geometry node trees.
Additional support was added for dragging and dropping colors with an Alpha
component (which was previously ignored), both in the context of the Node Editor
and for Color Buttons in general. This handles cases like drag and dropping a
color from an RGB to an RGBA button, which recreates the color with a default
Alpha value of 1.0.

Refactor the keyframe copy-paste code to prepare for supporting action slots.
This is a non-functional change, as the slots are stored but otherwise completely ignored. This way the refactor to the new data structure can be reviewed & tested before actually changing the behaviour.

Instead of requiring an image buffer to draw a bigger preview image
while dragging, allow passing an icon ID and draw that as preview. This
is also how we draw previews elsewhere. Use this for attaching the asset
previews to draggable buttons.
A small user visible change is that previews from the asset browser will
always draw at the default size (multiplied by the interface scale)
while dragging. Previously it used the same size as the asset browser
preview size, which I don't think was useful really. With small sizes
the preview while dragging got unnecessarily small too, with big sizes
it got in the way.
Needed for #131871.
When loading preview images from disk, we'd first scale them to the
standard preview image size (in `icon_copy_rect()`) and then scale them
again to the drawing size when eventually drawing to screen. The first
scaling would happen on the CPU, which is slow, and without filtering.
Now the image is stored in its original size and only scaled when
drawing, which uses scaling on the GPU with mipmaps and bi-linear
filtering. While a bit more blurry, the resulting image has less
artifacts and represents the original image better. Keeping the images
unscaled means memory footprint is bigger, we could cap the size if
necessary.
Noticed while working on #131871. Asset shelf previews would have more
artifacts than before.
