a958ae36e8 introduced support for UI lists to reference items that would
never be shown, regardless of filter settings. This was to skip assets
in the asset view template that were not of the requested type. UI list
sorting code wasn't updated to account for such items that should be
entirely ignored.

Not quite a 1:1 match, some customizations have to be made for the API URL differences and the face that there are no translations.
This also enables the version switch publicly now that this change fixes a few bugs.
Since moving from the Wiki we have used the `sphinx_rtd_theme` which has worked well but has become a little dated and has had slow development. This changes to use "Furo" instead.
[Furo](https://github.com/pradyunsg/furo) is a lightweight theme that is responsive and has native dark mode support.
Dark mode is one of the major enhancements but this change also brings:
- Content is slightly larger making text and images easier to view
- Site navigation and page navigation is split into two navigation trees. The site navigation is on the left and page on the right if the page has multiple headings.
- Return to top button
- Content is centered on the screen which helps with wide monitors
- No more breadcrumbs
- Remove google analytics
So far the caveat that I have noticed with this is slower compile times and larger pages, this is due to the better sidebar navigation.
This change also brings a lot of simplifications to customizations that we made to the `sphinx_rtd_theme`. There is still likely room for improvement in the future.

Add support for add-ons to define commands using the new argument
`-c` or `--command`.
Commands behave as follows:
- Passing in a command enables background mode without the need to pass
in `--background`.
- All arguments following the command are passed to the command
(without the need to use the `--` argument).
- Add-ons can define their own commands via
`bpy.utils.register_cli_command` (see examples in API docs).
- Passing in `--command help` lists all available commands.

If hooks are not unregistered Blender will report a leak on exit.
Store the hooks as unique_ptrs to remove manual memory management and
encapsulate the previous global list inside a function. These changes
ensure that everything is cleaned up on termination.
Also makes a small change to the hook documentation for a missing
`import` statement.

- "can not" -> "cannot" in many places (ambiguous, also see
Writing Style guide).
- "Bezier" -> "Bézier": proper spelling of the eponym.
- Tool keymaps: make "Uv" all caps.
- "FFMPEG" -> "FFmpeg" (official spelling)
- Use MULTIPLICATION SIGN U+00D7 instead of MULTIPLICATION X U+2715.
- "LClick" -> "LMB", "RClick" -> "RMB": this convention is used
everywhere else.
- "Save rendered the image..." -> "Save the rendered image...": typo.
- "Preserve Current retiming": title case for property.
- Bend status message: punctuation.
- "... class used to define the panel" -> "header": copy-paste error.
- "... class used to define the menu" -> "asset": copy-paste error.
- "Lights user to display objects..." -> "Lights used...": typo.
- "-setaudio require one argument" -> "requires": typo.

Added support for defining an on_import() function in
bpy.types.USDHook subclasses. If on_import() is defined
on a given USD hook, it will be invoked in import_endjob().
The implementation closely follows the existing design of
export hooks. USDHook.on_import() takes as an argument
an instance of an internally defined USDSceneImportContext
class which provides an accessor to the USD stage.
Also updated the USDHook documentation with an example
on_import() callback implementation.

Exceptions:
* Links to personal wiki pages
* Pages that are not in the new developer docs yet (like Human Interface Guidelines)
* tools\check_wiki\check_wiki_file_structure.py needs a refactor
Added support to Drag and Drop to file handlers, part of #111242.
If file handlers are registered with an import operator they can now be
invoked with drag and drop path data.
Import operators must either declare a `filepath` StringProperty or both
a `directory` StringProperty and a `files` CollectionProperty depending
on if they support single or multiple files respectively.
Multiple FileHandlers could be valid for handling a dropped path. When
this happens a menu is shown so the user can choose which exact handler
to use for the file.

Adds a button similar to the user manual at the bottom of each page.
This is done to give people a place to report issues other than the documentation repository which should be limited to the user manual.
With this change also comes a new issue template with helpful text and a redirect for people looking to submit an issue with Blender.
I would also like to add a Documentation label too but that requires configuring with the Gitea project.

This effectively reverts [0] which required the installed Blender
along with the `bpy` module to load for the install target to generate
the man-page. It turns out running a full Blender at install time can be
quite involved.
Now the man-page generator runs `blender --help` & `blender --version`,
converting the output into a man-page from a Python script.
Some minor changes have also been made:
- Use PYTHON_EXECUTABLE so the systems Python
(which may not be compatible) isn't used.
- Remove leading blender version from the description
which was unintentionally being included.

Motivation: When discussing with @Jeroen-Bakker and @aras_p about how to
approach sorting when rendering Gaussian splats in Blender, we realised that
compute shaders could help there (and have many other use cases), and that also
due to Blender 4.0 being on OpenGL >= 4.3, we can now rely on compute shaders
existing.
This PR is an initial pass for that functionality. It comes with a Python example, which
runs a compute shader and saves the output to a texture, which is then rendered in the
viewport.
There is no exposed support for storage buffers yet, but I expect I'll be able to work on
them soon if this is accepted.
The newly added parts are:
1. `gpu.compute.dispatch()`
2. a way set the compute source to `GPUShaderCreateInfo`: `shader_info.compute_source()`
3. a way to set the image store for `GPUShaderCreateInfo`: `shader_info.image()`
4. a way to set the `local_group_size` for `GPUShaderCreateInfo`: `shader_info.local_group_size(x,y,z)`
5. a way to get `max_work_group_size` from capabilities: `gpu.capabilities.max_work_group_size_get(index)`
6. a way to get `max_work_group_count` from capabilities: `gpu.capabilities.max_work_group_count_get(index)`

The description first described functionality that doesn't work properly.
Prefer text that is to the point with what works well, elaborating on
error prone & partially working solutions afterwards.
Also include a stub example for script authors who prefer to develop &
maintain their scripts outside of Blender.
Address issues raised by #114155.
Also fix sphinx documentation generation using incorrect identifiers
when looking up references from PyStruct types
(was looking for `bpy.app.bpy.app.driver_namespace.py`).
The last good commit was 8474716abb.
After this commits from main were pushed to blender-v4.0-release. These are
being reverted.
Commits a4880576dc from to b26f176d1a that happend afterwards were meant for
4.0, and their contents is preserved.
