This was quite involved to get to work. Basic idea is to make
`bl_activate_operator` work for the pose library asset shelf, and
introducing a `bl_drag_operator` for blending poses.
- Make pose asset operators take an asset reference, which is how
`bl_activate_operator` usually gets the asset to operate on. This way
poses references can be assigned to a shortcut, identified by asset
library and relative asset path within the library. Falls back to
getting the asset from context.
- Trigger `bl_activate_operator` on every click, instead of only when
an un-active item becomes active. Needed so poses can be re-applied
as before.
- Fix button context not passed to the `bl_activate_operator` when
force-activating, e.g. on right-click events.
- Allow registering a `bl_drag_operator` in the asset shelf definition.
Executed when dragging an asset in the shelf.
- When dragging an asset, highlight it as active, without calling the
`bl_activate_operator`. This is important feedback to the user.
- Activate/select view items on click instead of drag, so dragging is
possible.
- Let pose applying operators handle the Ctrl key to apply poses
flipped. There's no simple way to attach such alternative behaviors
to `bl_activate_operator`/`bl_drag_operator`
- Remove keymap items that were there for the previous "hacky" solution
to apply & blend poses.

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.

The pose library now uses the asset shelf and has a dedicated context menu for
that. This UI-list context menu for the asset view template isn't in use
anymore. Neither are the custom properties that were only necessary for the
template.
