in master earlier than the other.
WITH_PARTICLE_NODES was removed, because we continue the project

Corrects incorrect usages of the word 'loose' when 'lose' was required.

Those were only shallow wrappers around `BKE_id_copy`, barely used (even
fully unused in some cases), and we want to get rid of those ID-specific
helpers for the common ID management tasks. Also prevents weird custom
behaviors (like `BKE_object_copy`, who was the only basic ID copy
function to reset user count of the new copy to zero).
Part of 71219.
Move the information about the type of the source objects to the item
descriptions instead of the names. The extra information in the names
made the labels cluttered, and it's less important information.

Just converts verts to points and vice versa.
Materials and Attribute layers are preserved (so for example if you set
custom radii on the pointcloud, convert to mesh, then convert back to
pointcloud, this will be preserved).
Also not add a Radius layer by default (it is still added and
filled when adding a pointcloud object from the menu), a global Radius
property that will be used if there is no radius attribute can be added
later. A Radius attribute can also be added in the pointcloud data
properties (and filled via python).
This will also add a new utility function that copies materials between
datablocks: BKE_id_materials_copy

Running add-objects operator without an active screen would crash
as CTX_data_edit_object would return NULL in this case.
This could happen when adding objects from frame-change handlers for e.g.
In the case of adding new objects there is no need for a context lookup,
pass this directly to ED_object_editmode_exit_ex.
There were some problems when converted several objects at the same time, especially with the material conversion. The problems were more visible when bake an animation with several objects at the same time.
* Now the layer name include the object name.
* Reorganize how the materials are generated including object name.
* Fix color not converted to sRGB.
* Avoid triangles when generate the stroke. This fix a draw manager issue and also add more geometry to use later.
* Code cleanup.
The point cache code needs a non NULL rbw pointer.
This could have been avoided if there was a sanity check in the convert
function, so added a check there as well.
This allows orphan object data for example (meshes, curves, etc)
to be dropped into the 3D View from the outliner,
creating a new object instance.
Previously the only way to do this was to add the same type of object
then swap it's data through the ID selector drop-down.
Use invert_m4_m4_safe_ortho when joining objects so zero scaled axis
doesn't cause all points to be scaled to zero.
Instead geometry is left un-scaled on degenerate axes.
Report a warning in this case since users may want to adjust the
active objects scale.
We can avoid the rather expensive outliner tree rebuilds and only redraw
if nothing but the selection or active item changes. This should give a
bit of speedup for heavy scenes.
For this to work I had to correct a few notifiers, some were only
sending selection/active change notifiers that actually did things like
adding objects. I also added a more precise notifier type for when the
active collection changes. At the notifier subtype/action level we're
not even close to running out of bits, so this should be fine.
Also had to correct a wrong notifier check (was using `&` rather than
`==`).
When adding multiple force fields of different types they are all called
"Field", making it difficult to tell them apart.
Lights were already named based on their type. This follows the light

Operators are one of the last places in Blender to use older UI designs
that don't fit in with recent style conventions. This commit updates
these custom operator UI callbacks for consistency and clarity.
Some of the code is also simplified a lot. Some of the older operator layouts
were much more complex (in terms of code) than they needed to be.
See the differential revision for a before and after screenshot
of each operator.

That project cannot be opened correctly ayway, it has recursive
collections intanciating themselves...
But at least now we have a check at startup to detect and 'fix' those
nasty cycles in collections.
When the mesh is linked, the materials can not be available or be the same assigned to mesh. Now, if the mesh is linked, a simple two materials conversion is used.
To get the full list of materials, the mesh must not be linked.
Also checked some indexes to be sure never get a wrong value and that materials are not created again and again.
This replaces the cmake options `WITH_NEW_OBJECT_TYPES` and
`WITH_NEW_SIMULATION_TYPE` with two experimental userpref settings:
* `use_new_particle_system`: Enables the point cloud type and the simulation editor.
* `use_new_hair_type`: Only displays the add-operator in the add menu for now.
Note, in the current state you can't do anything productive with the new particle
system or the new hair type. Features will be added step by step in the upcoming
weeks and months.

Main change from user side, besides that all pointers should now be
properly remapped to new IDs, is that linked objects are no longer
preserved when doing a full copy of scenes.
Will open a task to check whether we actually still want that behavior
(and re-code it in a more correct way then).
This is the main part of work done here, it aims at uniformizing and
sanitizing that 'deep copy' process for supported IDs (currently scenes,
collections and objects).
Note that there will be more follow up commits after that one, but this
should be the most risky and changing one.
Change how the radius, changing the size of meta plane, sphere & cube.
Previously the size of these primitives would be kept the same,
with only the radius outside the primitive being scaled.
This led to small scale adding a lot of polygons instead
of scaling the primitive down as users would expect.
Also change behavior not to change the resolution when adding
to an existing meta-ball.
Using enum type itself in implementations, and uint in headers (as using
enums types in headers is a pain when enum are not defined and used in a
single same header file...).
This patch adds two options:
- Convert a mesh to grease pencil strokes.
- Bake the mesh animation into grease pencil strokes.
Both are related and must be included in the same patch.
Related to tasks: T77629 and T77630
Notice: The conversion is done for mesh edges and it's not considering any visibility clipping. All edges are exported, no matters if it's visible or not.

This conversion was inspired by the technique used by @luamono in this tweet: https://twitter.com/luamono/status/1239983662176841730

Add selection syncing for object add named (e.g. drag and drop from
outliner to 3D view), outliner right click (a sync when the context menu
is cancelled), and for object selection from Python.
Parenting to a curve path animation depends on both geometry and
transform components. Conversion of mesh to curve will make it so
parent have path animation, conversion of curve to mesh makes it
so there is no more path animation. Both cases affects children
of the converted objects, and it's not possible to rely on special
case for curve parent in the dependency graph as that link will be
lost after conversion of curve to mesh.
Simplest approach is to tag object for both geometry and transform
update, which will ensure all children are at valid state after
the conversion.
The old value (1.0) was often too large in practice. When many collection
instances are created, the large empties create a mess in the viewport.
This adds a new preference setting in `Editing -> Objects -> New Objects`
called `Instance Empty Size`.
The value will be used as display size for new empties containing a
collection instance.
