Continuation of #140360
New common properties for Channel and Channel Selected,
used in animation editors.
Previously Dope Sheet, Graph Editor, NLA, and Movie Clip Editor
had separate properties for them.
Video and images inside the PR.

- Channels looked different in Dope Sheet and Graph Editor. In the former,
they were same color as the background, so only labels and icons were visible,
in the latter they had a darker color, so their outline was visible. We need to pick
which design we go for now that they're combined. I chose color from Graph
Editor for now, with alpha from Dope Sheet, since only that editor uses alpha.
---
There is a confusion with names of channel colors. In 4.5 there is:
- - "Channel" (singular, blue color) which refers to objects, actions,
and action slots that hold/combine channels.
- - "Channels" (plural, black color) which refers to individual channels.
This goes against how we name things. In theme, especially, we refer to object
colors as "Object", singular, not Objects, plular. Same goes for all elements except
this one, where individual elements are referred in plural.
To lessen the confusion, and also avoid unnecessary breaking changes in the
future (in case we want to rename blue things, which seems likely), in this PR
I swap those names. Main reason is that black color marks individual channels,
so it should be singular, and blue colors are combination of many channels,
so they should be plural. Otherwise even talking about them is awkward.
Note that renaming isn't a breaking change, because we already "broke" them
by moving them to common path from individual editors.

Continuing recent attempts to combine theme settings
and reduce complexity. part of #140360
This PR adds new root panel in theme called "Regions" which for now
includes two subpanels:
# Asset Shelf
This is just moving asset shelf from root to regions, where
it's more appropriate and less noisy.
No functional changes. (alternative to #144267)
# Channels
Previously known as "Theme Space List", or "Source List",
but in user interface we refer this region as "Channels".
This region is shared by all animation/video editors, and each had
a separate panel for theme properties. Now they're combined, and all
editors follow settings defined in Regions -> Channels.
Additionally, "Source List Title" property, which was never used is removed.
Properties are also renamed to be more intuitive and shorter.
# Toolbar / Sidebar
Previously was registered separately on every single editor. This allowed
for some extra customization, but in 5.0 need for this is reduced very much,
because elements drawn in those regions (tabs & tools) are also generalized,
so it makes sense to want same background color for them as well.

Currently, `IDP_GetPropertyFromGroup` is a common bottleneck because it has to
iterate over all properties to find the one with the right name.
This patch adds a hash table to id property groups that finding properties by
name in O(1) instead of O(n). The main tricky aspect is to find all the places
where this needs to be created/updated/freed. I tried to find all places but if
I missed some place, it should be easy to fix.

This PR introduces a 'Developer Tools' section of the user preferences,
enabled when the `Developer Extras` option is enabled. This menu will
not be hidden when the release cycle is no longer in alpha, allowing
developers to use this for common debug options instead of having to use
`G.debug_value` and arbitrary values.
This has the benefit of allowing for an ease of debugging in non-alpha
builds as well as being able to use multiple options that would have
been considered exclusive debug options at once.
None of the existing values bound to a specific `G.debug_value` have
been migrated yet.

Other code that needs to operate on "the Action that's shown in the
Dope Sheet" now accesses the newly-added
`bAnimContext::active_action`, which is now also used by
`context.active_action`. I've also added
`bAnimContext::active_action_user` in case the ID that is animated by
this Action is needed. That's either the active `Object` or the active
`Key`, again depending on the mode of the Dope Sheet editor.
The active Action can also be obtained via
`ANIM_active_action_from_area(scene, view_layer, area)`. This is a
faster method than the usual `ANIM_animdata_get_context(C, &ac)` and
it doesn't need the entire `bContext`.
The "Stash Action" and "Push Down Action" to the NLA were also
implemented by writing to `SpaceAction::action` via RNA. They now use
`ANIM_animdata_get_context()` to get the active action owner ID, and a
direct call to `blender::animrig::assign_action()` instead.
The remaining use of `SpaceAction::action` was for display &
manipulation of Scene/Action markers. This required some work to get
addressed, as there was quite a bit of spaghetti and duplicate logic
to churn through. More can be improved there, but I had to limit the
time I spent on this.
Python code that was still using `context.space_data.action` to find
the currently-showing Action has been migrated to
`context.active_action`.

Drop all support for animation data from Blender versions 2.49 and
older.
- The `IPO` DNA struct is deleted, as is the `IDType_ID_IP` type
definition.
- Versioning code has been removed in its entirety.
- Loading a pre-2.50 blend file will issue a warning, stating that any
animation data that was there is now lost, and that the file should
be loaded & re-saved with Blender 4.5 to properly port the data.
Note that versioning of Action assignments (as in, picking a slot)
still uses the tagging + updating all tagged assignments as a
post-processing step. This is necessary because picking the right slot
is only possible after all Actions (also those from libraries) have
been versioned. We might be able to address this as well, by upgrading
legacy → slotted Actions "on the fly" versioning these Action
assignments. If we do that, I think that would be better in a separate
PR though, as it could introduce issues by itself.

* Store scene linear to XYZ conversion matrix in each blend file, along
with the colorspace name. The matrix is the source of truth. The name
is currently only used for error logging about unknown color spaces.
* Add Working Space option in color management panel, to change the
working space for the entire blend file. Changing this will pop up
a dialog, with a default enabled option to convert all colors in
the blend file to the new working space. Note this is necessarily only
an approximation.
* Link and append automatically converts to the color space of the main
open blend file.
* There is builtin support for Rec.709, Rec.2020 and ACEScg working spaces,
in addition to the working space of custom OpenColorIO configs.
* Undo of working space for linked datablocks isn't quite correct when going
to a smaller gamut working space. This can be fixed by reloading the file
so the linked datablocks are reloaded.
Compatibility with blend files saved with a custom OpenColorIO config
is tricky, as we can not detect this.
* We assume that if the blend file has no information about the scene
linear color space, it is the default one from the active OCIO config.
And the same for any blend files linked or appended. This is effectively
the same behavior as before.
* Now that there is a warning when color spaces are missing, it is more
likely that a user will notice something is wrong and only save the
blend file with the correct config active.
* As no automatic working space conversion happens on file load, there is
an opportunity to correct things by changing the working space with
"Convert Colors" disabled. This can also be scripted for all blend files
in a project.

- "Is this strip type an effect?" has been done by reserving 3rd bit
of the effect enum values to indicate that. That is a very strange
decision, so make that be done by strip_is_effect() function. The
enum values have to stay the same for backwards compat however.
- Both "strip type" and "strip blend mode" were sourced from the
same STRIP_TYPE_ enum, with only parts of the values meant for "type",
and other parts of values meant for "blend mode". That again is highly
confusing; split that off into two enums. Yes there's a handful of
values in them that overlap, but not the majority.

This PR updates the VSE strip modifiers interface.
It now uses the same design as the object modifiers.
Changes:
* Except for the "Mask Input" subpanel, the modifier UIs are unchanged.
* Modifiers can now be rearranged using drag & drop.
* Additionally, there is now an active strip modifier. This is exposed
though python via `strip.modifiers.active`.
This is in part for !139634 which needs the concept of an active modifier.
Notes:
* The `modifier.cc` file included all the implementation of all modifiers.
With the addition of a another new callback in this PR, this file was
getting quite big so I split everything out into individual files for all
modifiers. The modifiers are getting registered at launch.
* The modifier panels are getting added using a UI template
(`template_strip_modifiers`) very similar to the object modifiers.

Now that there are Rec.2100 PQ and HLG displays, the additional HDR option
for video export is redundant. Typically you would now select a HDR display
early on and do all your video editing with it enabled.
For saving a HDR video, the encoding panel will now show the name of the color
space, and warn when the video codec or color depth is incompatible.
Since this is now based on interop IDs for the dislpay color spaces, we can
map more of those to the appropriate CICP code. This works fine for Display P3,
in my tests it looks identical to sRGB except that the wide gamut colors are
preserved.
However Rec.1886 and Rec.2020 are problematic regarding the transfer function,
although the latter at least has the correct primaries now. So it should be
a net improvement and this could be looked at later if anyone wants.
---
Background:
* Rec.1886 and Rec.2020 display color spaces in Blender use gamma 2.4.
* BT.709 trc is almost the same as gamma 2.4, so seems like the correct choice.
* We already write sRGB with BT.709 trc, which seems wrong.
* Yet sRGB matches exactly between Blender display and QuickTime, while
Rec.1886 and Rec.2020 do not.
* Display P3 with BT.709 trc matches sRGB with BT.709 trc, just adding the wide
gamut colors. So that is what is used for now. Also using the sRGB trc the
file is not recognized by QuickTime.
There is apparently a well known "QuickTime gamma shift" issue, where the
interpretation of the BT.709 trc is different than other platforms. And you need
to do workarounds like writing gamma 2.4 metadata outside of CICP to get
things to display properly on macOS.
Not that QuickTime is necessarily the reference we should target, but just to
explain that changing the previous behavior would have consequences, and so
it this commit leaves that unchanged.

Add back custom properties to nodes, and properly expose them in the UI
as such (new 'Custom Properties' panel for nodes in the the Node
Editor).
This shows like any other custom property panel in the UI, in the Node editor:
<img width="424" alt="image.png" src="attachments/adb50815-0db0-447f-ac3b-7860d9a3e3fc">
Although not initially intended for this, nodes 'mixed' IDProperties
were quite widely used by py/extensions developers to store per-node
data.
During the initial IDProperties split between User-defined (aka custom
data) and system-defined (runtime RNA properties), this was not known,
so decision was made to only keep system properties for Nodes. The fact
that these properties were not exposed at all in UI also played a role
in that decision. See also discussions in #141042.
This commit instead splits system properties out into their own new
storage, and keep existing ones for user-defined/custom properties
(as done for other IDProperty owners, like IDs, bones, etc.).

This applies an OpenColorIO display, view and look transform on a color
in the scene_linear colorspace.
In general, OpenColorIO configurations do not contain a colorspace for
every view + display, especially if they are modern configs using the
display colorspace and shared view mechanisms. Nor do they include looks.
So the Convert Colorspace node is not sufficient.
Additionally, we would like to avoid making the colorspace list too long
in the default config, as we are adding many new views and transforms.
Exposure, gamma curves and white point functionality are not included
in this node, as there are native ways of doing that in the compositor.
These settings are marked non-editable in the Python API.

This commit changes the internal storage and user-facing representation
of the brush size values (`size` and `unprojected_size`) from radius
to diameter.
This has a number of benefits:
* While the radius is more helpful for many internal operations, it is
more natural to estimate the size of a brush by the diameter
* Because the pixel size is stored as an integer, users are currently
unable to make brushes that have an odd numbered diameter, notably
preventing the ability to make single pixel brushes.
Internally, the `Brush` and `UnifiedPaintSettings` size values are
versioned to double their on-disk values. The relevant `BKE` functions
that access the data return the radius at runtime, and any internal
`struct`s that stored radius continue to do so.
The 'Radius' text for brushes is changed to 'Size' and all references
to it in descriptions are changed to 'size' as well.

This PR moves keyframe theme properties from editors into Common.
Besides Dope Sheet, keyframe properties were in:
- Sequencer (almost all types, and might use more in the future)
- 3D Viewport, where the active object name overlay used a separate Object Keyframe color when
it had keyframes on the current frame. Now it uses the common Keyframe Selected color, instead
of having its own property just for this little text.
- Keyframes in Movie Clip Editor were hard-coded white, now they use a common Keyframe color.
Selected colors used wrong long key selected color, now they use common Keyframe Selected color.
- Movie Clip Editor also used separate colors for what it called "Strips", but they are visually
the exact same thing as "long keys" in Dope Sheet, so they use common long key colors now.
There are Keyframe Border properties in Dope Sheet, Sequencer, and NLA, but they're not shared
because they're drawn on very different backgrounds, in different sizes, with different fill colors, so
it's difficult to make one color work for all of them, and it can restrict customization and accessibility.

Details:
- Long keys in Dope Sheet/Clip Editor and Strips in NLA used the same internal "strip" attribute.
Those needed to be separated to properly use long key colors in common, without worrying
about affecting unrelated things, and those two are as unrelated as they can get.
To properly separate them I added new "long_key" attributes, and corresponding
`TH_LONGKEY` and `TH_LONGKEY_SELECT`.
- Long keys in Movie Clip Editor had hardcoded alpha. Now they use alpha of the theme color.

Currently, sequencer structs contain several pointers to data within
other structs. These pointers need to be remapped as the structs are
reallocated when reading from blend files. That has worked so far
because the pointers are exactly the values from the Blender session
that saved the file. With the implementation of #127706, the pointers
in the file aren't "real" anymore, and we can't offset them to get the
struct that contained the data. I'm working on the pointer stability
solution now to address a memfile undo performance regression
in 5.0 due to the `AttributeStorage` read/write design.
This commit replaces these 4 mid-struct pointers to point to the
containing strips instead, and uses some trivial logic to access the
fallback root sequence channels and strips. This makes the pointer
remapping on file load possible again.
This change is backward compatible but not forward compatible.

Use viewport navigation options in the orthographic view as well.
While the intention was to have the 3D-navigation preference only
impacting 3D views, inconsistencies between 2D/3D views tend to be
confusing for users, so use the same behavior in both.
Also expose the preference in the "3D Mouse" popup for 2D views as
this preference is used there as well.
Implementation of the design task #142969.
This adds the following:
- Exact GPU interpolation of curves of all types.
- Radius attribute support.
- Cyclic curve support.
- Resolution attribute support.
- New Cylinder hair shape type.
What changed:
- EEVEE doesn't compute random normals for strand hairs anymore. These are considered legacy now.
- EEVEE now have an internal shadow bias to avoid self shadowing on hair.
- Workbench Curves Strip display option is no longer flat and has better shading.
- Legacy Hair particle system evaluates radius at control points before applying additional subdivision. This now matches Cycles.
- Color Attribute Node without a name do not fetch the active color attribute anymore. This now matches Cycles.
Notes:
- This is not 100% matching the CPU implementation for interpolation (see the epsilons in the tests).
- Legacy Hair Particle points is now stored in local space after interpolation.
The new cylinder shape allows for more correct hair shading in workbench and better intersection in EEVEE.

For historical reasons these were stored in sRGB space, which caused all
kinds of complexity.
* For image painting, it now properly uses the byte buffer colorspace
instead of assuming sRGB or display colorspace. This can be more expensive,
so there is a fast path for sRGB buffers (and for fixed brush colors).
* Lots of code was changed to remove conversion when painting float images
or vertex colors, and added when painting byte images.
* For non-color data, there is now no colorspace conversion between the brush
color and image pixels, and #143642 was basically reverted because of that.
Compatibility notes:
* Backwards compatibility is not perfect, as we can not determine if the
brush has non-color data in isolation. We always convert sRGB to linear,
and existing brushes configured with non-color data need to be manually
fixed.
* There is forward compatibility, the old sRGB value is still stored next
to the scene linear value.

Faster and better looking VSE scopes & "show overexposed". Waveform &
RGB Parade now can also show HDR color intensities. (Note: this is
only about VSE scopes; Image Space scopes are to be improved separately)
- Waveform, RGB Parade, Vectorscope scopes are done on the GPU now, by
drawing points for each input pixel, and placing them according to
scope logic. The point drawing is implemented in a compute shader,
with a fragment shader resolve pass; this is because drawing lots of
points in the same location is very slow on some GPUs (e.g. Apple).
The compute shader rasterizer is several times faster on regular
desktop GPU as well.
- If a non-default color management is needed (e.g. VSE colorspace is
not the same as display colorspace, or a custom look transform is used
etc. etc.), then transform the VSE preview texture into display space
RGBA 16F texture using OCIO GPU machinery, and calculate scopes
from that.
- The "show overexposed" (zebra) preview option is also done on the
GPU now.
- Waveform/Parade scopes unlock zoom X/Y aspect for viewing HDR scope,
similar to how it was done for HDR histograms recently.
- Added SEQ_preview_cache.hh that holds GPU textures of VSE preview,
this is so that when you have a preview and several scopes, each of
them does not have to create/upload their own GPU texture (that would
both waste memory, and be slow).

Supports baking to object and tangent space.
Compatible with Cycles Vector Displacement node which has the
(tangent, normal, bitangent) convention.
The viewport situation is a bit confusing: seems that Eevee
does not handle vector displacement properly and rips all faces
apart. Cycles renders the displaced object correctly.
Not entirely happy with the UI, as displacement space does not
really belong to the Output, but so doesn't Low Resolution Mesh.
Perhaps the best would be to have a separate pass to revisit the
settings, and also make it more clear what the Low Resolution Mesh
actually does.

Implements the proposed design (with some modifications) in #135058.
## Sequencer Scene
This adds a new property called `sequencer_scene` to workspaces. This scene is used
by the video sequence editors in the current workspace for their context.
This is a first step towards "detaching" the VSE from the active scene in the window.
Each sequencer timeline editor shows the sequencer scene that is being used.
By default, when no sequencer scene is selected, the timeline and preview are empty.
Pressing the "new" button will add a new scene and assign it to the sequencer
scene for the current workspace.
## Contextual Playback
Pressing `Space` (by default) for starting the animation playback is now contextual:
depending on the context (where your mouse cursor is), the scene that is played back
might be different. E.g. with a 3D Viewport and a Sequencer open, pressing "play"
in the 3D Viewport will play the _active scene_ of the window, while pressing "play"
in the sequencer will play the _sequencer scene_.
## Time & Scene Synchronization
Additionally, this adds a toggle called "Sync Active Scene".
With the property turned on, the active scene & scene time in the window will be
synced with the time & scene of the current scene strip in the sequencer.
Note that this is _not_ bi-directional. The sequencer can change the active scene
and map time, but it's not possible the other way around since it one can have
multiple strips using the same scene (+camera, and even time!).
Currently this setting is exposed in the footer of the sequencer timeline as well
as in the workspace settings.
This allows for one of the core concepts that the story tools projects aims at: Working
in a scene (e.g. in the 3D viewport) while also working with the edit
(in the sequencer timeline).
## Some technical notes
* Undoing while playback is running will now cancel playback. This is to avoid the timer,
that points to the scene and viewlayer that are playing, to get de-synced after loading
the memfile undo step.
* When the sequencer scene is not the same as the active scene, we ensure it has
a depsgraph.
* Normally, when a `NC_SCENE` notifier points to a specific scene, the notifier is dropped
if that scene doesn't match the active one in the window. We now also check that it
doesn't match the sequencer scene in the active workspace.
* When loading older files, we need to make sure that the active workspace in a window
uses the active scene as the sequencer scene. This is to make sure that the file opens with
the same sequences open.
* Tool settings are stored per scene. To make sure the sequencer uses the tool settings for
the sequencer scene, the "context.tool_settings" and `CTX_data_tool_settings` members
are overridden in the sequence editors.

The Curve, Curve::strinfo & EditFont::textbufinfo are now read-only
during evaluation. CharTrans is now used to store some evaluation
options such as wrap/overflow/smallcaps.
Since it's no longer possible to inspect evaluation flags from operators
without evaluating the curve, line beginning/end functionality has been
moved from the operator into vfont_to_curve.
Almost all settings were duplicated between BakeData and RenderData.
The only missing field was the bake type, which is stored as a custom
property in Cycles.
This change:
- Removes unused bake_samples and bake_biasdist.
- Migrates settings like bake_margin to BakeData.
- Switches multires baker to use bake_margin.
- Introduces bake type in the BakeData, the same way how it was
defined in RenderData::bake_mode.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/144984
The main idea is to switch Bake from Multires from legacy DerivedMesh
to Subdiv. On the development side of things this change removes a lot
of code, also making it easier easier to rework CustomData and related
topics, without being pulled down by the DerivedMesh.
On the user level switch to Subdiv means:
- Much more closer handling of the multi-resolution data: the derived
mesh code was close, but not exactly the same when it comes to the
final look of mesh.
Other than less obvious cases (like old DerivedMesh approach doing
recursive subdivision instead of pushing subdivided vertices on the
limit surface) there are more obvious ones like difference in edge
creases, and non-supported vertex creases by the DerivedMesh.
- UV interpolation is done correctly now when baking to non-base level
(baking to multi-resolution level >= 1).
Previously in this case the old derived mesh interpolation was used
to interpolate face-varying data, which gives different results from
the OpenSubdiv interpolation.
- Ngon faces are properly supported now.
A possible remaining issue is the fact that getting normal from CCG
always uses smooth interpolation. Based on the code it always has been
the case, so while it is something to look into it might be considered
a separate topic to dig into.
This was a temporary solution until we had proper HDR displays.
* Auto detect from the display + view transform if they are HDR, and
enable it automatically. This is based on encoding hdr-video in the config.
* If a HDR transform is selected and there is no HDR display support, an
info message will be shown in the color management panel.
* It is now possible to view HDR images in the image editor, without
needing to use "View as Render".
* There is no versioning to switch to a HDR display, because that also
affects image saving. So users will have to manually select the
"Rec.2100 PQ" display to see HDR colors again.

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.
