This introduces partial functionality of Precision mode to 'Snap to
Grid'.
However, it behaves differently from 'Absolute Grid Snap', as it lacks
smooth mouse movement.
Precision mode is now available specifically for Transform operations.
Use a generic function to access the home directory making macOS path
access match other Unix systems.
When the function was added [0] it solved access to HOME when the
environment variable wasn't set. Since then support for `getpwuid()`
has been added on UNIX systems [1], which also works on macOS,
removing the need for macOS to have a separate function.
Furthermore BLI_expand_tilde had undocumented limitations that didn't
apply to other platforms (see PR for details).

The issue occurred because the code block that read the snap flag was
out of sync with the code block that saved the flag.
The solution was to centralize snap flag handling in the
`transform_snap_flag_from_spacetype_ptr()` function. This function
retrieves the appropriate snap flag and property based on the editor
type, eliminating the need for repetitive conditional checks and
ensuring that the correct snap flag is set for each editor.
Tmp field was still used in strip duplication. This was a source of bugs
previously. Now it uses `Map` of new to old strips to fix strip
relations. The field is removed from DNA struct.

`LH` was computed using `dot(-L, H)`, so there needs to be a negative
sign when computing `Ht2`.
`pdf` is only used for denoising, the change oesn't seem to affect the
regression test.
Allow Docking to work correctly if using a shortcut to the area header
context menu item. There is no longer a need to set the source or
target area locations.

All geometry shaders have been ported to the
primitive expansion API. The vertex fetch API
is no longer used inside the DRAW module.
This only removes it from the new API which
only Workbench and EEVEE use.
Workbench only used it for shadow rendering, but it
was ported by #125855 .
Overlay-Next project already ported all the geometry
shaders and will not need it.

IMB_scale modifies the input image. But some places in code needed to keep
original input intact, so what they did was a sequence of IMB_dupImBuf+IMB_scale
Add IMB_scale_into_new function and use that in several obvious places:
- movieclip_build_proxy_ibuf
- icon_copy_rect
- seq_proxy_build_frame

Reset the 'hierarchy index' runtime `temp_index` value for all library IDs.
This prevent the assert to be triggered when trying to rebuild libraries
hierarchy and there are some orphaned (i.e. not used by anything) library IDs
around.
If points are beind the camera, we don't really want to erase them. This
patch marks invalid coordinates thus preventing them from intersecting
with a eraser.
The reason for using a large value to indicate "invalid coordinate"s are:
- No need to further break down the way we process `src_to_dist` point matching array for `hard_eraser` `soft_eraser`, makes the entire logic much easier.
- No eraser is gonna be touching such a large coordinate of `1e20`.
Technically there's this case where if a segment crosses the near or far clipping plane (to handle this correctly, you'll need to split that segment into two at the clipping plane position and it increases complexity a lot), and then you will have undefined erasing behaviour, however the worse case is that the one segment was completely removed, and in such case I think it's acceptable.

Remove the `anim.slot_new_for_object` operator. It's no longer in use, and
replaced by the more generic `anim.slot_new_for_id` operator.
The latter is also coded in Python, and easier to follow than the code it
replaced.
No functional changes.

After pushing down the Action to the NLA, it needs to be tagged for
reevaluation. The code was using `adt->action->id` for this, but since
the nature of the operator is that it un-assigns the Action itself, that
would always be a null pointer.

The API did not initialize the `curve_type` for the newly created strokes resulting in unwanted behavior.
Set the curve type to the expected default: `POLY`.

Adds an additional precheck to identify if the app cache dir is correct.
Reduces placing cache files all over the place when the app dir isn't
correct.
Adds a SPIR-V cache that skips frontend compilation for shaders
that are already compiled in a previous run of Blender.
Initially this was postponed to 4.4 but it was observed that
the vulkan backend didn't perform well on Windows in debug
builds. The reason is that the compiler would also be a debug
build which makes compiling a shader really slow. Starting
Blender on a debug build could take minutes.
So the decision was made to give this task a higher priority so
the vulkan backend would become more usable to developers
as well.
The cache is stored in the application cache dir. The SPIR-V
binaries can be used by different Blender versions so there
is no version specific cache folder.
**Sidecar**: SPIR-V files are a stream of bytes. There is no
header information that allow us to validate the stream. To
add basic validations we could add our custom header or
a sidecar. It was chosen to use a sidecar as having the SPIR-V
files unmodified allows us to load them directly in
debug tools for analyzing.
**Retention**: Shaders that are not used are automatically
removed with a retention period of 30 days.
**Shader builder**: Shader builder cannot use the SPIR-V
cache as it uses stubs that returns invalid cache directories.
This would load/save the cache to the location where you
started the build.

This was located in BKE_appdir which is higher level
(used for accessing Blender's paths), where as the home directory
may be accessed from lower level path code.
