Allows users to override the auto detection for GPU
selection. Normally the GPU selection is done by looping
over the order Vulkan provides and finding the highest
performing device based on its type (discrete, integrated,
software).
However users might have multiple discrete cards and want
to switch between them. Or developers want to validate other
GPUs without rebooting.
This PR adds the ability to override the auto detection
for the vulkan backend.
**Future improvements**:
- This PR does not include a command line option. This can be added
later for render farms.

When we create a new window at run time, we request that it be placed
at a specific size and location, but afterward we ask the OS for
details about where it was actually made and then update the window's
size and position with the correct information. Unfortunately when we
open a window when loading a blend file we do most of this, but only
update the size from the OS, not the position. There are times a window
will need to be placed somewhere different than we request and so the
window posx and posy will be incorrect until we move or resize it. This
is more likely to happen on Macs, but is possible on any platform.

Replace uses of WM_window_native_pixel_x,y with
WM_window_native_pixel_size() which returns an int2 for convenience
and avoids an unnecessary call to GHOST_GetNativePixelSize(..).
This PR allows users to select a GPU backend.
In the system tab of the user preferences the GPU backend can be selected in the `Display Graphics` panel.
It will require a restart of Blender before the changes become effective.
During startup minimum requirements are checked. Blender will switch automatically
to OpenGL when no compatible Vulkan device could be detected. A dialog will be shown
to inform the user.
The setting of the in the `Display Graphics` panel are still overridden when blender is started
using the `--gpu-backend` option. When starting blender with `--debug-gpu` the backend
detection will print to the console.
See PR for detailed information and screenshots of the UI.
Implements #126504

The WM API has WM_window_pixels_{x,y,coords}` functions that returns the
window size/point coordinate in the host native pixel size.
As "pixels" in itself doesn't really mean anything the intent of
these functions wasn't really clear. To clarify this, this commit
renames their prefix from `WM_window_pixels_` to
`WM_window_native_pixel_`.

When dragging an area from one window to another, the target location
was out by the monitor dot-pitch on macOS Retina displays. This commit
fixes this by converting the window position coordinates to the display
native pixel size via a new `WM_window_pixels_coords` API function.

This tries to keep to the spirit of task of #124511. Title bar shows
a more detailed version string, while status bar shows more compactly.
"LTS" is included in the long form when defined. Patch version shown
in both detailed and long form but only if non-zero. "Alpha", "Beta",
"Release Candidate" included in long form, but uses " a", " b", " RC"
for short form.

Essentially, the issue is that the Adjust Last Operation popup is
created in the new image editor window, before region polling was
executed for the new window. This region polling must be done first
because it can affect which regions are visible, and the
`ARegionType.on_poll_success()` callback may do additional set up.
Now make sure that region polling is always executed when a screen is
prepared for display, as part of the screen "refresh" code.
Note that the region polling is used for the asset shelf regions, which
are supported in the image editor since c60a1006e5.

Match function and declaration names, picking names based on
consistency with related code & clarity.
Also changes for old conventions, missed in previous cleanups:
- name -> filepath
- tname -> newname
- maxlen -> maxncpy
This commit moves generated `RNA_blender.h`, `RNA_prototype.h` and
`RNA_blender_cpp.h` headers to become C++ header files.
It also removes the now useless `RNA_EXTERN_C` defines, and just
directly use the `extern` keyword. We do not need anymore `extern "C"`
declarations here.

Centralized method to obtain ScrArea names. Areas can add an optional
space_name_get callback to provide a name that differs by subtype. If
not defined then ED_area_name will return RNA UI name, which is correct
in cases without area subtypes. This eliminates the current use of
RNA_property_enum_name_gettexted using a temporary context, which
results in the reported (hard to duplicate) error.

Support detecting if the trackpad direction flag is propertly set
(currently unused).
Needed so Wayland compositors that don't support seat-version 9 or
newer (GNOME-46 & KDE5 for e.g) can have a working trackpad.
Eventually this option will be removed when the functionality is
widely supported.
The active window in the context may not match the window where GHOST
events are generated. Notifiers for new windows would always be ignored
with the context's window set to null for example.
Noticed while investigating #119871.
Previously only dropping file-paths was supported by the WM logic,
even though GHOST supported strings.
This is used for dropping a text selection as well as URL's
(on X11 & Wayland).
Add WM_DRAG_STRING, created from GHOST's GHOST_kDragnDropTypeString.
These reports were embedded in the window manager DNA,
but they were always cleared when reading it from files. It's clearer
to just not store the reports in files at all. I also moved the reports
initialization and freeing to the constructor and destructor of the
runtime class.
This is the only place `ReportList` was embedded in DNA, so
after this we can move that to use C++ features if we want.

The term `PIL` stands for "platform independent library." It exists since the `Initial Revision`
commit from 2002. Nowadays, we generally just use the `BLI` (blenlib) prefix for such code
and the `PIL` prefix feels more confusing then useful. Therefore, this patch renames the
`PIL` to `BLI`.

The previous commit introduced a new `RPT_()` macro to translate
strings which are not tooltips or regular interface elements, but
longer reports or statuses.
This commit uses the new macro to translate many strings all over the
UI.
Most of it is a simple replace from `TIP_()` or `IFACE_()` to
`RPT_()`, but there are some additional changes:
- A few translations inside `BKE_report()` are removed altogether
because they are already handled by the translation system.
- Messages inside `UI_but_disable()` are no longer translated
manually, but they are handled by a new regex in the translation
system.

With the popularity of dark themes, and the fact that our default theme
is dark, make the initial background color (before the program fully
loads) a darker shade of grey. {0.25f, 0.25f, 0.25f} versus current
{0.55f, 0.55f, 0.55f}. Also set Windows class background brush to the
same color to remove a potential flash.

The intent of `ghost_event_proc_timestamp_warning` is to give a console
warning when an event time is outside of an expected 5 second window
around the last time. However if an event happens within the first 5
seconds we get an overflow in a calculation and we get warnings for
normal times within the range.

There are operators in Blender that allow the user to import multiple
files at the same time, however this functionality is only implemented
when importing with blender's file browser, drag and drop files only
takes first selected file.
The patch adds support for drag and drop multiple files.
Notes:
* The files are filtered according to the extension of the first
selected file.
* Not all operators that import files support importing multiple files,
so they will still import one.
* Changes must be made to allow importers to read all file paths.
This will be used in upcoming drag & drop import.

Report suspicious time-stamps as they could cause bugs which are
difficult to troubleshoot.
Currently the time-stamps are only used for double-click detection but
we may want to use them in the future, so ensure they're valid.
Print an error when two events are handled in the last second and the
current event has a time-stamp 5 seconds before or after the current
time.
