This function has not python equivalent, using the
returned pointer to write properties seems enough
as equivalent as how is done in python.
Also, this removes the unused `uiItemFloatO` API.

This was an alternative way to write properties for layout operator buttons,
for the most cases are more than enough to use the returned pointer.
There were just 2 cases where this was useful, the quick access menu
that reuses operator property values, this now overrides the id property group
data pointer generated for the operator, also for `uiItemsFullEnumO_items`.

Use a similar convention for struct member identifiers,
(the identifiers without surrounding spaces). This allows the values
to be scanned and validated.
This converts the public `uiItemFullO_ptr` function to an object
oriented API (an `uiLayout::op` overload), matching recents changes
in the API.
Changes include rearranging the `IDProperty *properties` parameter to be
the last parameter. Now is optional (but will be removed), also instead
of using a return parameter the function now returns the pointer to
write properties.

This converts the public `uiItemFullO` function to an object oriented
API (an `uiLayout::op` overload), matching recents changes in the API.
Changes includes the removal of the paramether `IDProperty *properties`
that seems unused (all places just sets `nullptr`, can be added as last
argument with `nullptr` as default value though), and instead of using a
return paramether the function now returns the pointer to write properties.

The Path Template errors reported in tooltips could be incorrect,
depending on whether the field was visually truncated in the UI or not.
For example, if you had a path `/tmp/{blend_name}{foo`, the error is
that the template expression `{foo` is unclosed. However, if the
available space for the field in the UI is too small, the displayed path
could end up as `/tmp/{blend_na...`. This is for display purposes only,
and shouldn't effect things like template errors. However, it did, and
the error checking would be run on that display string, and report that
`{blend_na...` is unclosed, which is incorrect.
The issue was that the code doing the live error checking for the UI was
using the display string because it was conveniently available.
This fixes the issue by properly querying the property value via RNA,
and using that.

This converts the public `uiItemO` function to an object oriented
API (`uiLayout::op`).
Also this rearranges `idname` paramether, since this the only one
required, and to make format similar to `uiItemFullO`
Note: One of the benefits of moving from a public function to class
method is to reduce API usage difference between C++ and Python. In
Python this method is called `UILayout::operator`, however `operator`
is a reserved keyword in C++.

Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/138608
This adds basic templating support to render output paths. By putting
"{variable_name}" in the path string, it will be replaced by the named
variable's value when generating the actual output path. This is similar
to how "//" is already substituted with the path to the blend file's
current directory.
This templating system is implemented for both the primary render output
path as well as the File Output node in the compositing nodes. Support
for using templates in other places can be implemented in future PRs.
In addition to the "{variable_name}" syntax, some additional syntax is
also supported:
- Since "{" and "}" now have special meaning, "{{" and "}}" are now
escape sequences for literal "{" and "}".
- "{variable_name:format_specifier}", where "format_specifier" is a
special syntax using "#", which allows the user to specify how numeric
variables should be formatted:
- "{variable_name:###}" will format the number as an integer with at
least 3 characters (padding with zeros as needed).
- "{variable_name:.##}" will format the number as a float with
precisely 2 fractional digits.
- "{variable_name:###.##}" will format the number as a float with at
least 3 characters for the integer part and precisely 2 for the
fractional part.
For the primary render output path: if there is a template syntax error,
a variable doesn't exist, or a format specifier isn't valid (e.g. trying
to format a string with "##"), the render that needs to write to the
output path fails with a descriptive error message.
For both the primary and File Output node paths: if there are template
syntax errors the field is highlighted in red in the UI, and a tooltip
describes the offending syntax errors. Note that these do *not* yet
reflect errors due to missing variables. That will be for a follow-up
PR.
In addition to the general system, this PR also implements a limited set
of variables for use in templates, but more can be implemented in future
PRs. The variables added in this PR are:
- `blend_name`: the name of the current blend file without the file
extension.
- `fps`: the frames per second of the current scene.
- `resolution_x` and `resolution_y`: the render output resolution.

Previously, it was possible to search for specific math operations in
link-drag-search but not in the normal add menu. This patch adds support for
searching for specific operations in various math nodes.
A good trick for adding e.g. a vector add node is to search for `vadd`
(similarly with `iadd`).
The menu itself looks unchanged. This patch only adds additional elements to the
search.

Fixes for #137856 & #137507 were workarounds to ignore the
PROP_PATH_SUPPORTS_BLEND_RELATIVE for CollectionExport however they
were error prone - especially #137856 as it relied on the surrounding
buttons.
Instead of adding logic to ignore the flag for this specific case,
add a property to the CollectionExport which can have it's flags
and use this instead of the operators "filepath" property.
Internally this wraps the same IDProperty data used by the operator.

Add another exception for collection exporting (similar to #137507).
It's possible to avoid these workaround but this involves bigger changes
which are likely API breaking.
Move most `uiLayout` and `uiItem` functions to a separate
`UI_interface_layout.hh` header file. `uiItem` and `uiLayout` structs
are moved from `interface_layout.cc` to `UI_interface_Layout.hh` in
preparation for switching to an object oriented API style.
`UI_block_layout*` functions are moved to `UI_interface_Layout.hh` too,
since their implementation is also in `interface_layout.cc`
Types shared by `UI_interface_Layout.hh` and `UI_interface_c.hh`
are moved to `UI_interface_types.hh`.

This error is technically correct when the operators path doesn't
support relative paths.
The collection exporter allows relative paths and expands them before
passing the value to the operator.

Some paths in Blender support the `//` prefix for blend-file relative
paths however this is not communicated anywhere.
Support declaring this with a new flag which can be applied to filepath
& dirpath typed properties.
This is used to:
- Show red-alert when "//" are used in paths which don't support a relative prefix.
- Show a warning in the tooltip that the relative suffix is used when unsupported.
- Python warns if this prefix is ever used in an assignment or
function argument.

This commit allows to specialize or optimize properties editor for
particular workflows by hiding individual tabs. The filtering is done on
editor level, currently in editor options popover panel.
Primary motivation was to allow strip properties to be moved to
properties editor. The filtering is beneficial, as usually it does not
make sense to show strip propeties in modelling workspace and in video
editing workspace other properties would introduce quite a bit of noise.
