This was needed while testing #96544, now all curve picking selects
bezier knots without handles - the option can be removed.
This is a functional change for the 2.7x keymap, however selecting
bezier points with handles isn't a useful difference to keep.
Add a 'Custom Properties' sub-panel to the Bone Collections panel.
Custom properties for bone collections were introduced in 9eee076a29,
this just adds the GUI.

The basic idea is very simple. Whenever a supported menu is open, one can just
start typing and this opens a search that contains all the (nested) menu entries.
The main downside is that this collides with accelerator keys. Those are the
underlined characters in each menu. For now, we just enable this new searching
behavior in a few selected menus: Node Add Menu, View3D Add Menu and
Modifier Add Menu.
This new functionality can be enabled for a menu by setting
`bl_options = {'SEARCH_ON_KEY_PRESS'}` to true in the menu type.
The status bar shows `Type to search...` when a menu is opened that supports search.

Change the existing "Is Shade Smooth" node to be named "Is Face Smooth"
and add a new "Is Edge Smooth" node. Also give the "Set Shade Smooth"
node the ability to set face or edge smoothness.
The fact that the nodes process "smooth" data reversed from the builtin
"sharp" attributes can be reversed with versioning in a separate commit.
While it's tempting to abstract the sharpness status into a single node,
face and edge smoothness are accessed separately in edit mode, and the
subtlety of interacting with data on different domains would make that
confusing. Instead, a separate "Is Shade Smooth" node group asset will
give all the sharp elements taking into account both builtin attributes.
The fact that sharpness is stored separately on two domains makes the
best design for simple operations non-obvious. For example, you should be
able to remove all sharpness or make everything flat with a single node.
The behavior depends on whether the two attributes exist and the
combination of values between the domains.

In paint modes, show a selector for the active canvas, similar
to how other editors (UV/Image, Nodes, Action) do it.
Available canvas in each mode:
* Weight Paint: Vertex Groups
* Vertex Paint: Color Attributes
* Texture Paint: Canvas (material, image)
* Sculpt Paint: Color Attributes, canvas in experimental sculpt paint)

Add the features missing from #107176
* Irradiance integration.
* Self-shadows.
* Receive shadows from shadow maps.
Shadow tagging works by iterating all the froxels in a
compute shader and tagging the exact same position
that will be sampled by the volume scatter shader.
Froxels that are fully transmissive, have no scattering,
or are behind opaque geometry, are skipped.
It also adds a LoD bias parameter for shadow tagging,
driven by the volumetric tile size.
This works for punctual shadows, but directional lights
would need a way to support re-direction between levels
at sampling time, which is out of the scope of this PR.

An error in the key-map could cause the default keymap to be removed
leaving Blender without a default keymap.
Prevent the crash, even though Blender wont be usable in this state.
The DJV installer does not add its executable to the PATH, but Blender
attempts to execute it using just "djv". This will not work.
Until DJV is able to address this we can fish out the full path from the
registry in the meantime.

Refactor the Add menu in Texture Nodes, with manually created menus,
inspired by Geometry Nodes and more recently Shader and Compositor.
Minor sorting adjustments by splitting categories in groups, with
separators in between groups, and sorted alphabetically.
Unlike other node editors, this menu will not feature assets for the time
being. Doing so would add (more) burden of maintenance to a system
that is deemed end-of-life, and likely to be rewritten before long.

In the property editor "Modifier" tab, open the new modifier
from 6da4b87661 menu with the Shift-A shortcut.
A new operator is added that opens the menu because there
doesn't seem to be a way to make the shortcut dependent
on the property editor tab otherwise.

Implements part of #111538.
Change the modifier add button to create a menu with submenus.
Extend the submenus dynamically with geometry node group assets.
This makes it much simpler to share and use custom modifiers.
Node groups get a new "Is Modifier" property, which is controllable
in a popover in the node editor header when the group is an asset.
The built in modifier can be rearranged in different categories in
a next step. For now the existing organization is used, except for
the geometry nodes modifier, which is called "Empty Modifier" and
put in the root menu.
The changes in !110855 and !110828 will be important to improve
interaction speed with the new UI. Those are planned for 4.0 as well.

Moving the snapping code for the
* Graph Editor
* Action Editor
* and NLA editor
into the common system that lives on the scene.
This includes the Magnet icon for turning
snapping on and off.
The old settings translate to the new in the following way:
* `Frame Step` -> `Frame`
* `Second Step` -> `Second`
* `Nearest Frame` -> `Frame` + `Absolute Time Snap`
* `Nearest Second` -> `Second` + `Absolute Time Snap`
* `Nearest Marker` -> `Nearest Marker`
Since this moves the location of the snapping settings
from the editor to the scene, it changes the behavior.
Previously each editor could have different snapping
settings, where now they are all synced.

Loading add-ons after key-maps resolves a problem where add-ons would
setup shortcuts before Blender had created the key-maps.
Making add-ons have to declare the key-maps using region & window types
matching Blender's internal values.
This PR a pitfall pointed out in #110030.
Ref !110092
This commit disambiguates the following messages:
- Sequencer effect strip types: use "Sequence" context in relevant
places, as that is already extracted as part of the
`sequencer_prop_effect_types` enum, and more specific.
- "Language" (a natural or programming language)
- "Flat" (gender)
- "Smooth" (action or amount -- very partial disambiguation for now
because this is all over the place)
It also extracts these messages:
- Newly created Freestyle data
- LineStyle
- LineSet
- Modifiers
- "Registering panel class:" error message from RNA registration
- "Node must be run as tool" error message from tool geometry nodes

Add an update function that ensures the key-configuration is reloaded.
Also prefer passing individual options instead of passing in
PreferencesExperimental to the key-map since it's no longer clear
which options impact shortcuts.
Remove experimental options & make them default:
- Tweak Select: Mouse Select & Move
- Tweak Tool: Left Mouse Select & Move
Changes:
- LMB press selects the element
(unless it's already selected - in that case no selection takes place).
- LMB drag moves the selection.
- LMB click selects the element
(deselecting all others).
Implications:
- This makes it possible to tweak more than one item at a time.
- It is no longer possible to set the 3D cursor with LMB when the tweak
tool is active.
Details:
- Shift-LMB remains unchanged.
- RMB selection remains unchanged.
- Blender 2.7 key-map remains unchanged.
Addresses design task #96544.
