Replace use of "bl_pkg" operator category with "extensions",
this naming was used while the functionality was experimental,
not intended to be used once extensions was moved out of experimental.

Add a new operator 'Frame Scene Range' to the Dope Sheet, Graph Editor,
NLA, and VSE 'view' menus. It is added both to the regular menu and the
pie menu (by default on the ` hotkey).
The operator will only change the horizontal view, to show the scene
range or the preview range, depending on whether the preview range is
active or not.
The label of the operator switches between "Frame Scene Range" and
"Frame Preview Range" to indicate what will happen.
For the VSE this operator is quite similar to the 'Frame All', as that
by default also frames the scene range. There are a few notable
differences though:
- Frame All includes any strip that extends beyond the scene end frame.
- Frame All ignores the preview range.

The setting adds the "Custom Shape Wire Width"
option to the "Viewport Display/Custom Shape" section of a pose bone.
As the setting says, this controls how thick the wire is drawn in the viewport.
This is done by adding a geometry shader that makes two triangles out of a line.
The Anti-Aliasing is controlled by the setting
Viewport->Quality->Smooth Wires->Overlay in the user preferences.
## Artifacts
When increasing the line width, the lines start to separate at their vertices.
This comes from extruding each edge along the normal of its direction.
This could be solved by adding round caps in a later PR.

Being offline shouldn't be considered an error which checking for
updates on startup, so connectivity issues are suppressed unless
running in debug mode.

When trying to optimize performance, we can disable other object in viewport when baking animation
We are now able to bake also drivers on SK with this option
The solution is to copy drivers to temporary created custom properties on armature,
to be able to evaluate them during baking
It's possible the user frees or change the repository after a check
for updates starts because synchronizing repositories isn't blocking.
Resolve by using a copy of the repository when checking for updates,
only applying updates if the copy still matches the preferences once
the update is complete.
When online mode is enabled and the preferences are shown,
the users needed to manually check for updates.
Now this runs in the background, sharing logic with checking for
updates on startup.
When updates run status text is currently shown in the preferences
window, eventually this should be displayed in the status bar.
To avoid conflicts when updating a queue is used to avoid problems
caused by check for updates on startup & the preferences window also
checking for updates. Since checking for updates is optional it's
possible some repositories wont be handled by checking on startup
so both updates run for now. De-duplicating update checks can be
supported eventually.
The GPv2 draw tool used a setting called "Input Samples" to
generate points (subdivisions) when two samples are far apart
from one another.
In GPv3 we have the same feature, but with a bit more control.
Users can now specifiy the maximum distance between two
points based on a percentage of the brush size (in pixels).
To reduce network bandwith and to only bother users once a day with
add-on updates. All repos are checked together so that there is only
one notification per day.
Also tweaked the wording so that it's more clear this will not actually
install the updates.

- Layout changes
- Use panels instead of boxes resulting in a more compact UI,
more suitable to the drag-and-drop UI.
- Make all enum options to drop-down menus.
- Rename the title of `Position` box to `Transform`.
- Remove sub-headers `Plane dimensions`,
`Orientation` under Transform box.
- Move offset related options to the bottom. Importing a single
plane would be more common use case.
- Rename "Animate Image Sequences" to "Detect Image Sequences".
- Rename several labels and option names. Since drop-down allows more
space, make some option names verbose.
- Remove the warning `'Opaque' does not support alpha`. It should be
obvious from usual Blender usage, and doesn't need a special warning
from the add-on.
- Disable Alpha Mode options instead of hiding it when use alpha is
unchecked.
- Hide Track Camera option instead of disabling it when supported
align modes are selected.
- Fix or rewrite several tool-tips.

Removing the check for an empty repository list isn't correct when
only polling the active repository. Restore the check with a more
detailed error message.
Blender is offline by default. There is no need to mention that unless the user
went out of their way to make it offline (with the --offline-mode argument).
This is still waiting for the offline icon #122225. Using the internet
icon meanwhile.

This PR adds the *Polyline Mask*, *Polyline Face Set*, and
*Polyline Trim* tools.
## Limitations
* *Polyline Face Set* is not added to either of the *Sculpt*
or *Face Sets* menu as none of the other face set gestures are in
either.

The same tooltip is used for Update. Which didn't make much sense as it
was (since it was suggesting that it was enabling the extension).
Simplifying the message now.

This PR adds the `Line Face Set` tool and adds it to the following
location:
* Sculpt Mode toolbar
## Limitations
None of the existing Face Set gesture operators exist in either the
Sculpt dropdown or the Face Set dropdown, this PR does not add the Line
Face set tool in either location as well.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/122245
This PR adds a new operator: `PAINT_OT_visibility_edit` to support
iteratively expanding or shrinking the visibility of a mesh, similar to
the *Grow / Shrink Mask* actions and the *Grow / Shrink Face Set*
options. This operator is exposed via two new entries in the *Sculpt*
toolbar entry as *Show More* and *Show Less* and have also been
assigned to Page Up and Page Down in the default Blender keybinds for
Sculpt Mode.
### Technical Details
Each of the PBVH types is solved slightly differently, though the
general principle for each is as follows:
1. Make a copy of the current mesh visibility state
2. Iterate over elements (faces & corners if available, otherwise
vertices) to look at adjacency information
3. Apply appropriate visibility change to vertices
4. Sync face visibility
### Limitations
* Currently, like all other operators in the `paint_hide.cc` file. This
new operator is limited to Sculpt mode only.

As Node Wrangler add-on is moving to extensions platform and maybe isn't shipped
with Blender from 4.2 onwards, some of it's more important functionalities which are
crucial for Blender UX can be ported inside core. Also see #121749.
This PR ports "Preview Node" operator from add-on inside `scripts/startup/bl_operators`.
When Shift-Ctrl (or Shift-Alt) clicked on the node operator connects output socket of the
node to active Output node in the tree (group, material, light, or world output). For Geometry
Nodes this is just handy operator, but in Shader Nodes, because Viewer Node isn't
implemented, this has always been the only way to quickly preview nodes by connecting
it to Material Output.
Changes made from Node Wrangler version:
- Renamed operator from "Preview Node" to "**Connect to Output**", because node previews
already mean a different thing in context of compositor and shader editor, and viewer node
is used for previewing in geometry nodes. Connect to Output is correct name because in every
context it's called that's what it does.
- Assigned shortcut Shift-Alt-Click in shader editor as well. Even though Shift-Ctrl click already
works, it's good to have consistency with geometry nodes, so that users can use same shortcut
in both contexts.
Operator doesn't work in compositor. It's not clear if that's wanted (to connect to Composite node),
and if it is it'll be added in separate PR.

This node allows replacing the transformation of every instance by providing a matrix.
Before, this was only possible by using the Store Named Attribute node. It's more common
in Blender to have specialized built-in nodes for built-in attributes (e.g. Set Position, and Set ID).

While easier to understand, the conventionnal global
scene thickness parameter have some downside:
- It doesn't scale with larger scenes since the
distant samples have small thickness
- It doesn't handle fine geometric variation in
foreground.
The proposed angular thicknes makes all sample
have the same angular span. This makes it
distance independant and capture different occluder
thickness with less artifacts. The downside is
that the occluders have the same angular span
at any distance which makes the same occluder inflate
with distance.
A downside is that the geometry near the shading point is
under-represented. Leaving light leaking or lack of AO
at contact points. To fix this, we introduce back a
geometric thickness parameter.
