This is to simplify the usage of Volumetrics.
Now it automatically detect if there is any Volumetric material in the
view and allocate the needed buffer if any.
- Move the Channels setting to the View panel
- Remove double separators in the View panel
- Close the Scene panel by default - it only applies in rare cases
- Move the Frame Overlay from the header to a sidebar panel
Previously it used a strange ghost icon, and it make the other controls jump around
Now uses clearer naming
For existing files, it will use the setting from Cycles or Eevee depending on
the render engine in the scene.

Blender menu:
- Move Preferences to the top as it is used often.
- Introduce two new sub-menus
- About - links from Help menu, plus link to license section in blender.org
- Support Blender - dev fund, store, they used to be in Help menu.
Help menu:
- Add links to Tutorials and Support section in blender.org
- Add link to Developer Documentation (wiki)
- Always show Python API Reference link
This new filter allows to select only some type of keyframe (keyframe, breakdown, etc).
This was a request of artists that are used to work with other 2D softwares.
Also some cleanup to remove aninmatable option to some properties.
- Use single column layout
- Move the rather obscure Backdrop toggle into the View menu
- Use correct units for Crop and Offset (pixels)
- Re-organize the sidebar in 2 main groups: Adjust & Info
Adjust includes Compositing, Offset, Crop, Video, Color, Sound
Info includes strip name, path, start/end and other data
Original changes by tintwotin, with changes and adjustments on top by me
The choices are now World, View and 3D Cursor.
This breaks Python API compatibility, add-ons that add objects with this
parameter will need to be updated.

This is the angular diameter as seen from earth, which is between 0.526° and
0.545° in reality. Sharing the size with other light types did not make much
sense and meant the unit was unclear.

This uses the Blender icon that previously activated the splash.
Menu items which apply to the application are located here:
startup file, app templates & preferences.
No major API change here, only in the outliner restriction column
variables (e.g., show_restrict_column_selectable > show_restrict_column_select).
* Get rid of _INSTANCE (introduced on b1af682001).
* Differentiate (everywhere but the API) between HIDE (temporary) and VIEWPORT (global).
* Use the expected icon for restrict viewport (same as objects and modifiers).
* selectable > select
The complexity in this patch comes from the fact
that the current operator system does not support
multi-step user interactions well.
More specifically, for this to work, we need to show
a confirm dialog and a file browser afterwards.
We decided that it is easier to keep everything in
a single operator, instead of creating separate
operators that invoke each other.
So, now the `WM_OT_open_mainfile` operator invokes
itself in different states. It implements a simple
finite state machine to manage the states.
The dialog itself is expected to be improved in
a future commit. See D4829 for more details.

The most difficult part is handling parent-child relations correctly:
when a parent is applied, the children should be moved accordingly,
and when applying a child, it should not include transformation from
unapplied parents. All this requires walking bones as a tree, instead
of a flat list.
Limitation: Applying bones with non-uniform scaling without also applying
children will distort non-rest posing on said children for reasons related
to T54159 (basically, non-uniform scale plus rotation creates shear, and
Blender matrix decomposition utilities don't have tools to deal with it).

Visibility Options
==================
We are adding more granular control over restriction columns in the outliner,
exposing "indirect only" and "holdout" as options, and change the way
users enable/disable collections in a viewlayer.
We also rename the object viewport restriction to hide instance.
So the options we have are:
Collection
----------
* Render Visibility
* Instance Visibility
* Selectable
(View) Layer Collection
-----------------------
* Enable
* Holdout
* Indirect Only
* Viewport
Shortcuts
=========
Isolate Collection
------------------
* Ctr + click isolates the collection.
It turns all its parents and children "visible", and all the other
collections "invisible".
If ALL the collections were already properly set, we re-set the
collections to their default value.
Set Collection Inside Collections and Objects
---------------------------------------------
* Shift + click: Set/unset inside collections and objects.
We only set objects values as well when we are in View Layer mode and
(obviously) when the objects have a matching property.
Icons
=====
Little reminder that we will need better icons for holdout, indirect only, and
probably instanced (nothing wrong with the current, but it differs from
the proposal when it is turned off).
Also, we need to decide where do we want the modifier/bones/... icons to
be (in which column) and ideally make sure their icons match the ones we
use for collections/objects.
At the moment those are using the screen icon, which is not being used
by collections.
