Custom preview images loaded from disk are supposed to load one by one
in a background thread, but pop up in the UI as they get ready. This
gradual/progressive loading wasn't working correctly, previews would
only show up after all current preview requests were handled. I think
there would still be some progressive loading, since handling a batch of
requests might finish before all requests for the current frame are in.
Now it works as intended, by actually tagging loaded previews.
Mistake in 16ab6111f7.
Noticed while working on #131871.
When loading preview images from disk, we'd first scale them to the
standard preview image size (in `icon_copy_rect()`) and then scale them
again to the drawing size when eventually drawing to screen. The first
scaling would happen on the CPU, which is slow, and without filtering.
Now the image is stored in its original size and only scaled when
drawing, which uses scaling on the GPU with mipmaps and bi-linear
filtering. While a bit more blurry, the resulting image has less
artifacts and represents the original image better. Keeping the images
unscaled means memory footprint is bigger, we could cap the size if
necessary.
Noticed while working on #131871. Asset shelf previews would have more
artifacts than before.

This patch adds support to apply a pose asset to multiple armatures in pose mode at once.
In case there is a suitable slot for the armature, it will be used to read from, otherwise
the system falls back to slot 0.
Part of #131840
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/132601
This patch makes the internal functions for the pose library aware of action slots.
* Allows to apply poses with more than 1 slot.
* The slot is chosen based on a best guess, with a fallback to the first slot.
Not in this patch:
There is no straightforward way to create multi slot pose assets yet. That will come later.
It is possible to manually tag an action with more than 1 slot as an asset though.
When applying poses, only the active object is modified. Multi object editing support will come later.

NOTE: This also required some changes to Cycles code itself, who is now
directly including `BKE_image.hh` instead of declaring a few prototypes
of these functions in its `blender/utils.h` header (due to C++ functions
names mangling, this was not working anymore).

The preview template (`UILayout.template_preview()`) to display previews
for materials, textures or similar would only work correctly in the
Properties editor. This had explicit logic to trigger rerendering on
changes. When displaying such previews elsewhere (e.g. in the 3D View
sidebar), the only way to have changes reflected would be by resizing
the preview.
This fix makes sure such previews are tagged as dirty and refreshed on
changes to the underlying ID. We do this the same way as tagging the ID
previews as dirty, through a function called by the dependency graph for
such updates.

IMB_scale modifies the input image. But some places in code needed to keep
original input intact, so what they did was a sequence of IMB_dupImBuf+IMB_scale
Add IMB_scale_into_new function and use that in several obvious places:
- movieclip_build_proxy_ibuf
- icon_copy_rect
- seq_proxy_build_frame

Add support for slotted Actions to the NLA evaluation code.
This also affects the pose library code and the Action Constraint. These
both share some Action evaluation logic with the NLA. They now
explicitly looks at only the first Action slot. The Action Constraint will
have to be updated to have an explicit slot selector, but that's for another
commit.

Move the functions
* `BKE_pose_apply_action_selected_bones`
* `BKE_pose_apply_action_all_bones`
* and `BKE_pose_apply_action_blend`
out of the blender kernel and into animrig.
This will allow solving #126969 without having to include
animrig code in the blender kernel.

In this case, the `PoseBackup` created by
`action_preview_render_prepare` wasnt cleaned up properly (because
`action_preview_render` was earlied out).
So to resolve, call `action_preview_render_cleanup` as well when
earlying out)

Custom preview operator uses `lib_id_preview_editing_poll`. To enable
this operator in UI, move the new condition to `lib_id_generate_preview_poll`
poll function so adding custom preview to unsupported type would
still be possible.

The preview rendering would fall back to the shader preview rendering
pipeline, which is not suitable for objects. Instead, don't render any
preview (use an empty preview) for such object types. This case could be
handled a bit nicer by the code triggering the preview rendering (e.g.
the "Render Active Object" operator poll could return false), but
keeping that separate from fixing the lower level logic to ensure crash
free behavior.

API: merged IMB_scalefastImBuf, IMB_scaleImBuf, IMB_scaleImBuf_threaded
into one function IMB_scale with enum IMBScaleFilter {Nearest, Bilinear, Box}
and bool "threaded" param.
Performance:
- Box filtering (nee IMB_scaleImBuf) can be multi-threaded now.
- Nearest filtering (nee IMB_scalefastImBuf) can be multi-threaded now.
Also fix performance regression on float images caused by fix in #126234
- Bilinear filtering (nee IMB_scaleImBuf_threaded) is several times faster now.
Correctness:
- Nearest and Box filtering: no longer loses half of edge pixels when scaling
up.
- Box: fixed garbage results (and possible out of bounds reads) for non-4
channel float images.
- Bilinear: no longer shifts image when scaling up.
- Bilinear: properly filters when scaling down by 2x2.
Test coverage:
- Add gtest coverage for various IMB_scale modes.
- Add a IMB_performance_test performance test, ran manually.

Since 7b0ea0f1b4, brushes use the asset system and previews are stored
in the asset source blend files. The bundled ones are part of the
essentials asset library, see
`release/datafiles/assets/publis/brushes/essentials_brushes.blend`.
Note that this doesn't remove the toolbar icons for these brushes yet.
Initially reviewed in (but this commit contains further changes missing
in the PR):
https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/123842
Also see 06be295946.
These aren't all cases, but a few that I found by addding a static
assert in `MEM_new` so that it fails for trivially constructible types.
Basically this tries to make the API to stop and kill jobs more explicit &
consistent, so intent is expressed clearly & behavior as expected.
- Remove use of the job start callback address as identifier for the job.
6887dea786 already removed this pattern from the jobs system internals, this
commit also removes it from the API.
- Make stop & kill API and implementation consistent. E.g. don't stop/kill jobs
by either owner **or** type/callback in one function, and by owner (if
provided) **and** type/callback in another. Causes some small behavior
changes, documented inline.
- Use the same job type and API for all preview render jobs (change by Brecht).
There doesn't seem to be a need for the separated types, in fact the
separation might have caused some issues earlier (and added code complexity).
- Add/improve function documentation.
This does actually have subtle behavior changes that are known, see PR, but
they were investigated carefully and seem like implementing wanted behavior.

Using a non-virtual derived struct for polymorphism is error prone,
especially combined with the requirements of DNA. Instead, use a
separately allocated runtime struct as done for many other DNA structs.
In a followup commit, the remaining runtime members of `PreviewImage`
could be moved to the new runtime struct.

Add new ID_IS_EDITABLE macro that checks if the ID can be edited in the
user interface. Replace usage of ID_IS_LINKED where it is used with this
meaning.
Also add a corresponding ID.is_editable property for Python.
This prepares for the ability to edit some linked datablocks for brush
assets.

The `object_to_world` and `world_to_object` matrices are set during
depsgraph evaluation, calculated from the object's animated location,
rotation, scale, parenting, and constraints. It's confusing and
unnecessary to store them with the original data in DNA.
This commit moves them to `ObjectRuntime` and moves the matrices to
use the C++ `float4x4` type, giving the potential for simplified code
using the C++ abstractions. The matrices are accessible with functions
on `Object` directly since they are used so commonly. Though for write
access, directly using the runtime struct is necessary.
The inverse `world_to_object` matrix is often calculated before it's
used, even though it's calculated as part of depsgraph evaluation.
Long term we might not want to store this in `ObjectRuntime` at all,
and just calculate it on demand. Or at least we should remove the
redundant calculations. That should be done separately though.

I added a new BLO_userdef_default.h header to contain declarations of
two global variables that are still defined in C files. Use of designated
initializers for large structs make those files harder to change.
Arguably this is a better header for them anyway.

The term `PIL` stands for "platform independent library." It exists since the `Initial Revision`
commit from 2002. Nowadays, we generally just use the `BLI` (blenlib) prefix for such code
and the `PIL` prefix feels more confusing then useful. Therefore, this patch renames the
`PIL` to `BLI`.

Along with the 4.1 libraries upgrade, we are bumping the clang-format
version from 8-12 to 17. This affects quite a few files.
If not already the case, you may consider pointing your IDE to the
clang-format binary bundled with the Blender precompiled libraries.
"mesh" reads much better than "me" since "me" is a different word.
There's no reason to avoid using two more characters here. Replacing
all of these at once is better than encountering it repeatedly and
doing the same change bit by bit.
