This patch generalizes node tree subtypes to be usable for node trees
other than Geometry Nodes. In particular, this:
- Renames SpaceNode.geometry_nodes_type to node_tree_sub_type, which now
store a tree type-specific enum.
- Renames SpaceNode.geometry_nodes_tool_tree to selected_node_group,
which now stores any context-less tree of any type.
This breaks the python API due to renaming.

The "Asset Shelf" checkbox can be confusing for people, they enable it
but it still can't get the shelf to show up. This is because the shelf
is only available in certain contexts (e.g. pose mode and paint modes
in the 3D view, more is planned see blender/blender#135061). Gray out
the toggle with a disabled hint when not available.
The region toggle pie menus will hide the item.

This simply removes the operator property to set the alpha mode, so that
this can be automatically determined. The None case was already handled
by Use Transparency, and Channel Packed doesn't make sense here.

This removes the "Geometry" part from their name because we want to use them in
other node tree types too (see #141936).
Usually, we don't change idnames because they are the primary identifier of
nodes and is expected to stay the same. Since they are generally not shown to
users (just Python developers), it's also not urgent to change them. However, in
this specific case we have the opportunity to update the idname before the node
becomes an official feature, so it's not as bad to change it.
This patch has full backward compatibility, but no forward compatibility (for
files that used the experimental feature).

When adding a shape key, set its blend value to 1.0 / 100%.
There is no practical use case where user wants to add shape key but
not work on it. New shape keys at value 0 have no purpose. Adding
shape key should be interpreted by Blender as user wanting to
sculpt/model on it. Also, being at 1.0 initially doesn't change
anything visually, because key isn't edited yet and it doesn't deform
mesh.
The default value of the shape key is also set to 1.0. When using
right-click to reset values, user most often wants to return to 1
(which is "correct" state of deformation without multiplication)
rather than 0 (which is no deformation at all).

The operator 'Setup Tracking Scene' now creates a new compositing node
group if one exists already.
`CLIP_OT_setup_tracking_scene` now creates a node tree manually instead
of relying on `use_nodes = True`.
This also fixes an invalid link to the Group Output node.

Blend files compatibility:
If a World exists and "Use Nodes" is disabled, we add new nodes to the
existing node tree (or create one if it doesn't) that emulates the
behavior of a world without a node tree. This ensures backward and
forward compatibility.
Python API compatibility:
- `world.use_nodes` was removed from Python API => **Breaking change**
- `world.color` is still being used by Workbench, so it stays there,
although it has no effect anymore when using Cycles or EEVEE.
Python API changes:
Creating a World using `bpy.data.worlds.new()` now creates a World with
an empty (embedded) node tree. This was necessary to enable Python
scripts to add nodes without having to create a node tree (which is
currently not possible, because World node trees are embedded).

This patch replaces the Composite node with the Group Output node as the
primary compositor output. The old node was removed and versioned. This
was done for consistency with Geometry Nodes and in preparation for more
generic use of the compositor in VSE modifiers, layered compositing, NPR
multi-stage compositing, and more.
The Group Output node relies on the node tree interface, so we now have
a default interface of a single input and a single output. For now, only
the first input is considered while the rest are ignored, just like the
Geometry Nodes design. Furthermore, the input is required to be of type
color. Warnings and errors are issues if any of those are not met, also
similar to Geometry Nodes.
This introduces a new limitation: Composite outputs can no longer exist
in node groups, since they obviously then act as their respective group
outputs.
A refactor for the compositor scheduler is needed to simplify the logic
after this change, but this will be done in a separate patch.

If importing keymap with the same name as the built-in ones (like
"Blender", "Industrial Compatible"), those entries will become stale and
can't be removed from the UI because when removing preset it checks the
name against builtin ones. This patch fixes the problem from the
importing side and disallow names that are the same with builtin ones
from being imported (They will be renamed upon importing).

When creating presets in some panels, names like "Default" can be used
which are the same preset names as bundled presets. New entries created
like this can't be deleted because blender will treat it as a bundled
preset which then leaves stale entries in the list. This fix prevents
those kind of preset names to be used during creation.

This commit moves the freestyle edge and face mark tags to become
generic attributes, similar to other changes over the past years. The
attributes are called "freestyle_edge" and "freestyle_face", and they're
now propagated like regular boolean attributes.
Compatibility wise, forward and backward blend file compatibility are
maintained (for forward compatibility this is implemented a bit
differently than in the past because of the ongoing `AttributeStorage`
transition). In the Python API, `use_freestyle_mark` has been removed;
the attribute API should be used instead (just like bevel weights).
The BMesh (`freestyle`) accessors are removed too.
The conversions benefit from the fact that bit-wise, the old structs are
the same as `bool`, so we can convert to the old and new formats without
reallocating arrays.

Panel toggles are implemented by having a boolean socket with
`is_panel_toggle` set to `True`, as the first item in that panel's children.
These sockets are then hidden from the user, as the checkbox gets drawn
in the panel's UI.
In specific circumstances described in the bug report, the active selection
can sometimes land on these sockets. Leading to the user being able to
directly access these internal sockets.
The changes in the patch make the "Remove Item" operator check if
the resulting selection lands in a toggle socket, and move the selection
to that toggle's parent panel if that is the case.

Replace use of bpy.ops.wm.append with the Python equivalent.
This avoids a separate append call for every group.
Also refactor lookups so node-group names only need to be declared once,
then used to populate a named-tuple.
The default nodes were still present in the node tree when Setup
Tracking Scene operator was called.
The issue was that the operator assumed the default tree always has the
same number and types of nodes, which wasn't true anymore after the
default node tree was changed in df6e65dd93
This PR keeps the changes to a minimum by updating the assumption
about the default node tree.

This changes the engine identifier back to `BLENDER_EEVEE`.
We keep the `BLENDER_EEVEE_NEXT` identifier around for
versioning reasons (have to detect when it is the active
engine of a older file).
This also rename a bunch of pannels that were using `next`
in their name.
This is a breaking change for Addons compatibility.

Prior to this commit, the `object.subdivision_set` would prevent
actually applying a subdivision to a multires modifier when the relative
option was set. This is commonly accessed via Alt-1 / Alt-2 or D / Shift
D in Sculpt mode.
However, when the multires modifier did not already exist, pressing
these keybinds would still create the modifier and further subdivide the
mesh.
To fix this, this commit adds a hidden property to the operator:
`ensure_modifier` to indicate if the keybind should create the modifier
or not.

This is part of the short term roadmap goal of simplifying the
compositor workflow
(see https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/134214).
The problem is that many users don't know how to get started with
compositing in Blender, even when they have used Blender for other
areas, e.g. modeling.
Note: although the solution makes compositor node trees reusable
accross blend files, this is a nice side effect and not the main goal
of the PR.
This PR implements a "New" button that creates a new compositing node
tree, and manages trees as IDs. This has following advantages:
- Consistent with other node editors and other parts of Blender,
therefore making it easier to getting started with compositing if users
are familiar with shading or geometry nodes
- Give users the ability to reuse the compositing node tree by linking
or appending it.
Note: The parameter "Use Nodes" is still present in this PR, but will
be removed (in a backward compatible way) in a follow up PR.

Only the collection clearing was removed, adding an item
and assigning values to it was kept - breaking the preset.
Detect collections and removed all lines which add & manipulate items.

e.g. stands for "exempli gratia" in Latin which means "for example".
The best way to make sure it makes sense when writing is to just expand
it to "for example". In these cases where the text was "for e.g.", that
leaves us with "for for example" which makes no sense. This commit fixes
all 110 cases, mostly just just replacing the words with "for example",
but also restructuring the text a bit more in a few cases, mostly by
moving "e.g." to the beginning of a list in parentheses.

Previously, one had to search for the name of an input node (Geometry, Light
Path, etc.) instead of for the actual desired values.
This patch makes it possible to search for the output names of various input
nodes directly. All other outputs of the input node are hidden automatically.
This was partially support for the Scene Time before.
Supported nodes:
* Compositor: Scene Time
* Geometry Nodes: Camera Info, Mouse Position, Scene Time, Viewport Transform
* Shader Nodes: Camera Data, Curves Info, Geometry, Volume Info, Light Path,
Object Info, Particle Info
Right now, the output names are hardcoded in the menu. We don't have a great way
to access those without an actual node instance currently. For that we'll need
to make the node declarations available in Python, which is a good project but
out of scope for this this feature. It also does not seem too bad to have more
explicit control over what's shown in the search.

The Smoke Surface Emission is the height of the smoke from the mesh surface.
It is measured in Domain Grid Units, and if the grid unit is relatively big
(compared to the mesh), the smoke emission is huge.
To fix that the Surface Emission was decreased from 1.5 to 1.0. As a result
it is possible to emit smaller smokes (width 2, previously 3).
Further decreasing default value of Surface Emission is not recommended,
as in some cases (too small mesh compared to Grid Unit) will result not
emitted smoke.
