- Add `type[]` for the `tool_cls` as it's expecting tool type class,
not the instance (similar to #132420)
- Add `set[str]` to `after` type as it's seems to be the way it's used
the most widely, e.g. in "UI Tool Simple" example that comes with Blender:
`bpy.utils.register_tool(MyTool, after={"builtin.scale_cage"}, separator=True, group=True)`

This patch introduces the `Plane` brush, a generalization of the
existing `Flatten`, `Fill` and `Scrape` brushes, with the objective of
providing more flexibility when sculpting.
This brush has the following key features:
* `Height` and `Depth` parameters to control the range of the brush in
the local z-axis.
* Stabilizers for the normal and center of the brush plane.
When inverting, the user can choose between two options:
* `Invert Displacement`: Identical to the existing behavior, displacing
vertices away from the plane.
* `Swap Height and Depth`: Exchanges the roles of `Height` and `Depth`.
For example a brush with `Height` = 0.7 and `Depth` = 0.3 behaves as
if it had `Height` = 0.3 and `Depth` = 0.7. In particular, this
ensures that a scrape brush (`Height` = 1, `Depth` = 0) becomes
equivalent to a fill brush (`Height` = 0, `Depth` = 1) when inverted,
and viceversa.
In the existing planar brushes, the influence on a vertex is determined
by the 3D Euclidean distance between the vertex and the cursor position,
multiplied by the vertex's distance from the brush plane (and other
factors common to all brushes).
In the `Plane` brush, the 3D distance is between the vertex and the
plane center instead of the cursor position.
The Plane brush introduces two parameters — `Stabilize Normal` and
`Stabilize Plane`. These can be thought of as the non-binary version of
the `Original Normal` and `Original Plane` options found in existing
brushes. These values are a weighted moving average across a window of
previous stroke steps.

Similar to how brush assets are created and managed this
PR allows to export pose assets into a different library.
Because of this there is a limitation to this where each
asset is stored in a separate blend file.
This may be lifted in the future as there are planned changes in
the design phase: #122061
### Create Asset
Now available in the 3D viewport in the "Pose" menu: "Create Pose Asset".
The button in the Dope Sheet will now call this new operator as well.
Clicking either of those will open a popup in which you can:
* Choose the name of the asset, which library and catalog it goes into.
* Clicking "Create" will create a pose asset on disk in the given library.
It is possible to create files into an outside library or add it in the current file.
The latter option does a lot less since it basically just creates the
action and tags it as an asset.
If no Asset Shelf **AND** no Asset Browser is visible anywhere in Blender,
the Asset Shelf will be shown on the 3D viewport from which
the operator was called.
### Adjust Pose Asset
Right clicking a pose asset that has been created in the way described
before will have options to overwrite it.
Only the active object will be considered for updating a pose asset
Available Options (the latter 3 under the "Modify Pose Asset" submenu):
* Adjust Pose Asset: From the selected bones, update ONLY channels that
are also present in the asset. This is the default.
* Replace: Will completely replace the data in the Pose Asset from
the current selection
* Add: Adds the current selection to the Pose Asset. Any already existing
channels have their values updated
* Remove: Remove selected bones from the pose asset
Currently this refreshes the thumbnail. In the case of custom
thumbnails it might not be something want
### Deleting an existing Pose Asset
Right click on a Pose Asset and hit "Delete Pose Asset". Works in the shelf
and in the asset library. Doing so will pop up a confirmation dialog,
if confirming, the asset is gone forever. Deleting a local asset is basically the
same as clearing the asset. This is a bit confusing because you get
two options that basically do the same thing sometimes,
but "Delete" works in other cases as well.
I currently don't see a way around that.

Rename `ActionKeyframeStrip.channels()` to `.channelbag()`, and change
its first parameter from `slot_handle` to `slot`.
This is to be consistent with `ActionKeyframeStrip.channelbags`, which is
the array of channelbags in the keyframe strip. Having a function that's
singluar makes sense for finding a single element in the array.
The change from using the slot handle to using the slot is to be consistent
with `.channelbags.new(slot)`. Furthermore, the Python API should be using
slot handles as little as possible (they're basically meaningless numbers).
Using the slots directly is preferred. If that's not possible, it is
recommended to use the slot identifier (`slot.identifier`) instead, as that
can be used to look up the slot (`action.slots[slot_identifier]`).
This breaks the glTF add-on, which will be fixed in !133915.

This fixes an issue where the Canvas button is always disabled when
trying to use the experimental feature, Sculpt Texture Paint.
This bug was caused by the new Asset System since it changed how paint
tools work. Before, the UI would check the current tool being used and
determine if the Canvas button should be activated. With the new Asset
System, painting is done with modular brushes instead of tools, so
previous methods of checking tool properties have stopped working.
This is fixed by activating the Canvas button based on the properties
of the current brush. If the brush's type is either Paint or Smear,
then the Canvas button is activated.

Use string formatting instead of the `+` operator, so that it doesn't
matter which exact type is used for the `rig_id` custom property.
Also reshuffle the code a bit to reduce indentation.

As we are exporting Collection only, it makes sense that the collection customs props
can be exported as glTF Scene extras, as the scene includes only objects from the collection
This adds another operator mode for changing brush radius and opacity while the
modal primitive operator is running. It's based on the `wm.radial_control`
operator but only implements simple mouse control for these two properties.

Box select is broken for all node editors. It ignores selection modes and always uses the mode `Set a new selection`.
The operator `NODE_OT_select_box` works fine, but clicking anywhere in the node editor calls `NODE_OT_select` first, so we need to make sure it has no undesired side effects when it is not run.

When developing and testing add-ons it can be useful to get to the
folder containing such add-on.
When Developer Extras is enabled, show a folder icon next to the
extension's path to quickly open it using the system file browser.
Also display it in the list of duplicate add-ons, if any, so user can
access them more conveniently.

Artists often want to quickly switch back and forth between two or more nodes while compositing.
This patch implements two operators `NODE_OT_viewer_shortcut_set` and `NODE_OT_viewer_shortcut_get` that allow users to map a viewer node to a shortcut. For example, pressing `cltr+1` while a node is selected, assigns that node to the shortcut `1`, creates a viewer node if it has none attached and sets that viewer node to active. Pressing `1` will set the active node with shortcut `1` to active.
Shortcuts are saved in DNA to preserve them after saving/loading blend files.
Limitations:
- Only compositor node tree is supported, because shading editor has no viewer node and geometry nodes viewer works differently.

Reduce the Light Theme Icon Border Intensity from 1.0 to 0.7 to better
match the result in Blender versions prior to SVG icons. The icon
border is now done within the text shader so the result is a bit
stronger than the old method.

This implements all the auto masking options in sculpt mode.
* Stroke: Only affects strokes that are initially under the cursor.
* Layer: Only affect strokes in the same layer as the initial strokes under the cursor.
* Material: Only affect strokes with the same material as the initial strokes under the cursor.
* Active Layer: Only affect strokes in the active layer.
* Active Material: Only affect strokes that use the active material.
The `Active Layer` toggle in the toolbar has been moved to this panel.
Resolves#130022.

When locking a material, the preview icon would get greyed-out (as would
the rest of the properties in the row).
This issue is that this defeats the purpose of an accurate preview of
the material. Artists want to know what the material _actually_ looks
like.
This moves the icon into a separate row and property so that
it doesn't get disabled.

Waiting a proper solution for props declaration:
- Filter now happen even if the list is not displayed
- Avoid spaming console with error, display a label saying what to do
Before, any sampled properties that are not keyed was exported with LINEAR interpolation
Now, user can choose the interpolation for these not keyed values (LINEAR or CONSTANT/STEP)
Example of not keyed properties: Deformation bones when animators animated other bones
This adds an Animation panel to the Footage tab of the n-panel of the Movie Clip
editor. Movie Clips have various properties that can be animated, but there was
previously no way to manage the Action and Slot that held those F-Curves.

Material preview panel for grease pencil was accidentally removed in e10b0b3449 because it had EEVEE engine listed as `COMPAT_ENGINES`, which also seemed accidental. After adding panel back I noticed that .blend file for generating previews was also faulty. It was updated 2 years ago when GPv3 was experimental feature, and file wasn't up to date to current state.
This PR also adds new .blend file for generating material previews that is mostly the same as one in Blender 4.2, except:
- I organized it, removed unnecessary stuff.
- For Flat preview it was using flat checkerboard background, for other modes 3D room, which seemed unnecessary and not useful for Grease Pencil, so now every mode uses flat background.
- "Cloth", "Liquid", and "Shaderball" modes in 4.2 didn't render at all and resulted in all white screen. Now they render default Circle, which is not correct, but at least better than nothing. In future we can add custom drawings to those modes for previewing materials on more complex objects.

This adds an Animation panel to the Mask tab of the n-panel of the
Movie Clip and Image editors. Masks can be animated (for example, the
opacity of a Mask Layer), but there was no way to manage the Action
and Slot that held those F-Curves.
To keep things DRY, this PR also moves the code for drawing Action+Slot
selectors from the `PropertiesAnimationMixin` class to a utility
function, which is now called from both that class and the Mask UI code.

The interpolate tool was using a linear re-sampling of the curves, which changes
non-uniform point distributions can causes unexpected shifts in points along the
curve, even very close to an input stroke (mix factor ~0 or ~1).
This patch adds an alternative interpolation function with explicit segment
indices and fractions, which can then be computed by the interpolation tool.
The point segment factors are chosen such that each point of the input strokes
has an exact matching point in the interpolation. When the factor is close to
0 or 1 the shape of the curve thus matches the respective input exactly.
This approach is more similar to what GPv2 did, except instead of sub-dividing
each segment it simply generates a _local_ uniform sample to fit more points
into the same segment. These extra points are colinear at the extremes of the
mix factor range, so the curve matches the input curves visually.
