One of the core design aspects of the Asset Browser is that users can "mount"
custom asset libraries via the Preferences. Currently an asset library is just
a directory with one or more .blend files in it. We could easily support a
single .blend file as asset library as well (rather than a directory). It's
just disabled currently.
Note that in earlier designs, asset libraries were called repositories.
Idea is simple: In Preferences > File Paths, you can create custom libraries,
by setting a name and selecting a path. The name is ensured to be unique. If
the name or path are empty, the Asset Browser will not show it in the list of
available asset libraries.
The library path is not checked for validity, the Asset Browser will allow
selecting invalid libraries, but show a message instead of the file list, to
help the user understand what's going on.
Of course the actual Asset Browser UI is not part of this commit, it's in one
of the following ones.

Remove DNA headers, using forward declarations where possible.
Also removed duplicate header, header including it's self
and unnecessary inclusion of libc system headers from BKE header.
There should not be much user visible here (other than T73668 being addressed).
I added the writing code already for the initial implementation of workspaces,
but we decided to keep it disabled until the top-bar design is more clear. It
was never planned to keep this disabled for so long.
Fixes T73668.
This one was a bit more tricky, because the file loading is
mixed with versioning code and because collections are
embedded into scenes.
All tests that passed before, still pass.
The data layout remains exactly the same..
This change just gives all the elements in `SDNA->structs` names,
making it more comfortable to work with the data.

Allows scripters to store additional information in the marker itself instead
of using work-around approach based on marker names and such.

This patch tries to sanitize the types of our size parameters across our read
and write code, which is currently fairly inconsistent (using `int`, `uint`,
`size_t`...), by using `size_t` everywhere. Since in Blender file themselves
we can only store chunk of size `MAX_INT`, added some asserts to ensure that
as well.
See {T79561} for details.

During undo/redo read code is expected to clear the `OB_MODE_EDIT`
bitflag of `Object.mode`, for some reasons.
This was not done anymore for re-used Objects, we need to add a special
handling case for that too.
Should be backported to 2.90 and 2.83 (will probably not be straight
forward for the latter).
