This was quite involved to get to work. Basic idea is to make
`bl_activate_operator` work for the pose library asset shelf, and
introducing a `bl_drag_operator` for blending poses.
- Make pose asset operators take an asset reference, which is how
`bl_activate_operator` usually gets the asset to operate on. This way
poses references can be assigned to a shortcut, identified by asset
library and relative asset path within the library. Falls back to
getting the asset from context.
- Trigger `bl_activate_operator` on every click, instead of only when
an un-active item becomes active. Needed so poses can be re-applied
as before.
- Fix button context not passed to the `bl_activate_operator` when
force-activating, e.g. on right-click events.
- Allow registering a `bl_drag_operator` in the asset shelf definition.
Executed when dragging an asset in the shelf.
- When dragging an asset, highlight it as active, without calling the
`bl_activate_operator`. This is important feedback to the user.
- Activate/select view items on click instead of drag, so dragging is
possible.
- Let pose applying operators handle the Ctrl key to apply poses
flipped. There's no simple way to attach such alternative behaviors
to `bl_activate_operator`/`bl_drag_operator`
- Remove keymap items that were there for the previous "hacky" solution
to apply & blend poses.

When the `Join` operator was added to Grease Pencil v3 the behavior when
joining points was changed. The selected point would now be split from the
existing strokes and put into a new one.
This behavior is often undesirable, leading to multiple user reporting it as a
bug #130293, #141368, #131036, #132201, #136144 and #144300.
This PR adds a new mode, `Join Strokes` that behaves the same as legacy
grease pencil, and sets it as default. This PR also renames the existing modes
to `SplitAndCopy`, `SplitPoints` to better indicate the expected behavior.

This PR adds a slip tool in the toolbar with its own custom icon for
applying slips using the mouse. This is useful for e.g. tablets where a
keyboard is not handy and a button would be best to activate the
operator.
There is also a custom cursor that appears when hovering over valid,
slippable strips (and a "stop" icon when the strip cannot be slipped).
Alt may be used in order to ignore slipping connected strips when using
the tool, similar to selection logic. The slip tool only performs its
sole function of slipping and as such does not change the selection
state.
In the future, we can also add "slide" functionality to the same tool,
giving it multiple functions.

This adds the `Pen` tool to Grease Pencil Edit Mode.
With the pen tool you can:
- Extrude points by `Left Click`.
- Move the handles by dragging the mouse.
- Snap handles to 45 degree increments with `Shift`.
- Cycle through the handle types by `Double Clicking`.
- Add new point on segments by `Ctrl Clicking`.
- Remove existing point by `Ctrl Clicking`.
- Close a curve by clicking on one end while having the other selected.
- Move existing segment by clicking and dragging on the edge.
- Move points by clicking and dragging the mouse.
Some changes have been made compared to the legacy
curve object's pen tool:
- `Angle locking` with `Alt` was replaced with `Angle Snapping`
using `Shift`. This was done to match the behavior of Grease Pencil
primitive tools.
- `Move Entire Point` was changed from the `Space` key to `Alt`. This
was done because some laptops can't move the mouse while
`Space` is held.
- `Link Handles` and `Free Align Toggle` were not implemented.
- `Toggle Vector` and `Close Spline Method` were removed.
- `Close Spline` was removed and set to always be true.
- `Extrude Handle` type was removed as a option and was replaced
by the `shift` modifier key when clicking.
- Newly created points are placed on the drawing plane, instead of
the view plane.
When a new curve is created, the material will be the active material
and the radius will be set from the `radius` property.
Note: This tool is added to edit mode because it uses handle selection
and bézier overlays which currently don't exist in draw mode.
A future PR will implement a draw mode version.

Duplicating a strip that references an ID like the scene strip would not
duplicate the scene. This is wanted in some workflows.
To align with the rest of Blender, this changes the behavior for how
strips are duplicated:
* `Shift + D` ("duplicate"): Duplicate the strip and also duplicate the
IDs referenced by the strip. Currently this only affects `Scene`,
`MovieClip`, and `Mask` strips.
* `Alt + D` ("duplicate linked"): Duplicate the strip, but reference the
same IDs. This is the current behavior in `main`.

This initial commit properly clamps handles for video/audio strips, and
provides functionality to enable/disable the behavior for all strip types
(addresses #90280).
Toggling handle clamping is done with "C",
just like with the redesigned slip operator (#137072).
If a strip is not already clamped when you start moving its handles,
then clamping behavior is disabled starting out. This means no abrupt
clamp until you explicitly ask for it.
Transform logic was altered, fixing a few bugs:
- When initializing a transform, `createTransSeqData` would already
create some clamping data for channels. This patch replaces it with
`offset_clamp` (for unconditional clamping which cannot be disabled)
and `handle_xmin/xmax` (for hold offset clamping, which is optional).
- Collecting this data ahead of time is necessary for the double
handle tweak case -- `flushTransSeq` only works one strip at a
time, so we can't clamp post-hoc.
- In `applySeqSlideValue`, we apply `transform_convert_sequencer_clamp`
before values are printed to the header, but let the unclamped values
get flushed to the strips themselves. This is so that we can have the
data later at the individual strip level to recalculate clamps.
Otherwise, if transform values are clamped preemptively, then we have
no idea whether strips are clamped vs. merely resting at their
boundaries.
Note that currently, handle clamping is drawn identically to overlaps.

Historically, the `UnifiedPaintSettings` struct has been used to
provide users the ability to set brush values at a scene level. Examples
of such attributes are the brush size, strength, and color, to name a
few.
Instead of these values being shared across all of the grease pencil,
mesh painting, and curves sculpting modes. This commit migrates the
data to the `Paint` struct, meaning that each individual mode (e.g.
Sculpt, Vertex Paint, Grease Pencil Draw) now has the ability to change
these values without affecting other modes.
While this change is large, the majority of the work is simply
refactoring access to the `UnifiedPaintSetting` struct. to ensure the
correct property is being retrieved.

Clarify the terms for NDOF translation & rotation sensitivity.
Previously translation was named: "ndof_sensitivity" making it
sound like it would control rotation as well.
Change island selection from being it's own selection mode,
along side vertex/edge & face modes, to a separate toggle.
This makes it possible to use sync-select without loosing functionality
as previously island selection didn't work when sync-select was enabled.
Now island selection supports sync-select although at the moment this
only works in face-select mode, when !138197 is merged this limitation
will be removed.
In practice this change is subtle, making it possible to toggle island
selection no matter which selection mode is currently active.
Details:
- The UI is mostly unchanged, this option is available
in the same location in the header & menu as a toggle.
- The shortcut 4-key is kept, toggling instead of switching modes.
- Enabling island selection no longer isolates islands,
it just acts on selection actions made after being enabled.
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 implements the "boundary strokes" features (from 4.2 LTS).
To make it a bit more clear, the feature is now called "fill guides".
It uses the same `Alt`+`LMB` shortcut.
Fill guides are denoted by a `".is_fill_guide"` attribute set to `true`.
Otherwise they behave as normal strokes.
There is the `Clean Up` > `Remove Fill Guides` operator to remove
the strokes.
This also adds an option to the Fill tool to automatically remove fill
guides once a fill has been created.

The best way to make sure it makes sense when writing is to just expand

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",

moving "e.g." to the beginning of a list in parentheses.

With #128051, the default timeline tool changed to
a `sequencer.select` on press with no associated
properties (before, it had `deselect_all`).
This meant that retiming key selection broke (as
reported in #129892) and strips would only deselect
on release if clicking into empty space (due to a separate
keymap item in the global sequencer keymap).
This patch reverts 97e44901b4 while keeping its fix,
in favor of a more robust solution (just add `deselect_all`
to the keymap item properties in the box select tool).
This adds a new modal operator that allows reordering columns interactively.
It's triggered by dragging the column header. Edge panning while dragging the
column to the left or right of the region is supported. Scrolling with a
horizontal scroll wheel works too.
There are three new UI elements to help the user understand what is happening.
These three elements seem to be fairly standard in other spreadsheet software.
* The column that is dragged is highlighted in its original place.
* A "shadow" of that column stays attached to the cursor.
* A line indicates where the column will be inserted.
Note: The column order is not yet persistent when columns disappear temporarily.
That will be worked on separately.

This commit adds a toggle functionality to the `brush.asset_activate`
operator that makes it behave similarly to the `paint.brush_select`
parameter of the same name.
When the operator has this option enabled, using the operator or
pressing the relevant key will either:
* Activate the specified brush and store it if the current brush does
not match the specified brush
* Activate the previously stored brush if it exists.
This option is exposed in the keymaps and enabled by default for the
Sculpt Mask brush.
This allows, for example, users to press 'M' to switch to the mask brush
and then press 'M' again to switch back to their previously active
brush.

Currently, removing a node frame a frame is rather annoying. The `alt+P`
shortcut is hard to reach and probably not very intuitive. Furthermore, often
one only notices that one wants to remove a node from a frame after starting to
move the node. So one would have to put the node back down, detach it from the
frame and then start moving again.
This patch simplifies this entire process by adding a new shortcut that can be
used while dragging nodes. When `F` is pressed, the selected nodes are detached
from their parents. Alternatively, if the nodes are detached already, they may
be attached to the frame under the cursor.

Currently, the steps required to add a named frame in the node editor are quite
cumbersome:
* Press ctrl+J, which is hard to reach.
* Press F2, to rename.
This is bad, because frames are a key part of making node trees understandable.
Therefore, we should lower the barrier to adding them as much as possible.
Additionally, named frames help significantly more with readability. Therefore,
it's good to lower the barrier to adding those even more. Of course it's still
possible to click in empty space to avoid having to give a frame a name.
This patch adds a new operator to join nodes in a named frame. When triggered,
it adds the frame and automatically opens the rename menu to set the name.
Keymap changes:
* Remove `ctrl+J` which was creating a frame without label.
* Move existing functionality of `F` key to `J` key
(including `shift+F -> shift+J`).
* Use `F` for this new operator to create a named frame.

Currently, there are two main annoying problems with columns widths in the
spreadsheet:
* The initial column width is often too small. This is especially noticeable
with the ID integer attribute.
* There is no way to change the column width.
This patch improves both of these aspects. The initial column width will now be
derived from the content of the spreadsheet. This initial width is then stored
in DNA to make it editable and to avoid having to recompute it on each redraw.
Furthermore, there is a new modal operator to change the width of a column.
