And replace nullptr arguments for tooltips in UI button
creation functions with std::nullopt. Though the distinction
between "no tooltip" and "empty tooltip" doesn't seem to exist,
it seems safer to keep the distinction since it existed with null before.
Move `Library.runtime` to be a pointer, move the related
`LibraryRuntime` struct to `BKE_library.hh`. Similar to e.g.
Mesh.runtime, that pointer is expected to always be valid, and is
allocated at readtime or when creating a new Library ID.
Related smaller changes:
* Write code now uses standard ID writing codepath for Library IDs too.
* Runtime pointer is reset to nullptr before writing.
* Looking up a library by its absolute path is now handled through a
dedicated utils, `search_filepath_abs`, instead of using
`BLI_findstring`.

This PR refactors each UI template into its own `interface_template_*.cc`
file.
* Added `interface_templates_intern.hh` which exposes shared utility
functions and macros.
* Doxygen comment sections that were redundant of the file name were
removed. If they contained additional description, they were added
to the file Doxygen `\file` header.
* Short templates that were closely related were kept together in single
files (e.g `uiTemplateHistogram`, `uiTemplateWaveform` and
`uiTemplateVectorScope` are all in `interface_template_scopes.cc`).
In this case, Doxygen comment section were preserved.
The only things remaining in `interface_templates.cc` are:
* Common utility function exposed by `interface_templates_intern.hh`
* Small independent templates (`uiTemplatePathBuilder`,
`uiTemplateNodeSocket` and `uiTemplateFileSelectPath`)

Some Status Bar icons differ in width, like "Ctrl". For these items we
have to add a spacer before the next item. Unfortunately there is one
code path where this does not happen for modifiers even though it does
for the main icon. This PR fixes this and removes the chance of icons
overlapping on the status bar.

The `fmt::format` can process the format string at compile time. Currently, we
don't seem to be using that as we don't use `FMT_STRING`. Starting with C++20,
that will be the default though, and one has to explicitly opt out in places
where the string is not known at compile time using `fmt::runtime(...)`.
Currently, our code does not compile as C++20 because of that. Unfortunately, we
have many places with runtime format strings, because of i18n.

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.

This commit takes the 'Slotted Actions' out of the experimental phase.
As a result:
- All newly created Actions will be slotted Actions.
- Legacy Actions loaded from disk will be versioned to slotted Actions.
- The new Python API for slots, layers, strips, and channel bags is
available.
- The legacy Python API for accessing F-Curves and Action Groups is
still available, and will operate on the F-Curves/Groups for the first
slot only.
- Creating an Action by keying (via the UI, operators, or the
`rna_struct.keyframe_insert` function) will try and share Actions
between related data-blocks. See !126655 for more info about this.
- Assigning an Action to a data-block will auto-assign a suitable Action
Slot. The logic for this is described below. However, There are cases
where this does _not_ automatically assign a slot, and thus the Action
will effectively _not_ animate the data-block. Effort has been spent
to make Action selection work both reliably for Blender users as well
as keep the behaviour the same for Python scripts. Where these two
goals did not converge, reliability and understandability for users
was prioritised.
Auto-selection of the Action Slot upon assigning the Action works as
follows. The first rule to find a slot wins.
1. The data-block remembers the slot name that was last assigned. If the
newly assigned Action has a slot with that name, it is chosen.
2. If the Action has a slot with the same name as the data-block, it is
chosen.
3. If the Action has only one slot, and it has never been assigned to
anything, it is chosen.
4. If the Action is assigned to an NLA strip or an Action constraint,
and the Action has a single slot, and that slot has a suitable ID
type, it is chosen.
This last step is what I was referring to with "Where these two goals
did not converge, reliability and understandability for users was
prioritised." For regular Action assignments (like via the Action
selectors in the Properties editor) this rule doesn't apply, even though
with legacy Actions the final state ("it is animated by this Action")
differs from the final state with slotted Actions ("it has no slot so is
not animated"). This is done to support the following workflow:
- Create an Action by animating Cube.
- In order to animate Suzanne with that same Action, assign the Action
to Suzanne.
- Start keying Suzanne. This auto-creates and auto-assigns a new slot
for Suzanne.
If rule 4. above would apply in this case, the 2nd step would
automatically select the Cube slot for Suzanne as well, which would
immediately overwrite Suzanne's properties with the Cube animation.
Technically, this commit:
- removes the `WITH_ANIM_BAKLAVA` build flag,
- removes the `use_animation_baklava` experimental flag in preferences,
- updates the code to properly deal with the fact that empty Actions are
now always considered slotted/layered Actions (instead of that relying
on the user preference).
Note that 'slotted Actions' and 'layered Actions' are the exact same
thing, just focusing on different aspects (slot & layers) of the new
data model.
The "Baklava phase 1" assumptions are still asserted. This means that:
- an Action can have zero or one layer,
- that layer can have zero or one strip,
- that strip must be of type 'keyframe' and be infinite with zero
offset.
The code to handle legacy Actions is NOT removed in this commit. It will
be removed later. For now it's likely better to keep it around as
reference to the old behaviour in order to aid in some inevitable
bugfixing.

This commit adds low-level logic in BKE to support three behaviors in
case of name conflict when renaming an ID:
1. Always tweak new name of the renamed ID (never modify the other ID
name).
2. Always set requested name in renamed ID, modifying as needed the
other ID name.
3. Only modify the other ID name if it shares the same root name with the
current renamed ID's name.
It also adds quite some changes to IDTemplate, Outliner code, and
RNA-defined UILayout code, and the lower-level UI button API, to allow
for the new behavior defined in the design (i.e. option three from above list).
When renaming from the UI either 'fails' (falls back to adjusted name) or forces
renaming another ID, an INFO report is displayed.
This commit also fixes several issues in existing code, especially
regarding undo handling in rename operations (which could lead to saving
the wrong name in undo step, and/or over-generating undo steps).
API wise, the bahavior when directly assigning a name to the `ID.name`
property remains unchanged (option one from the list above). But a new
API call `ID.rename` has been added, which offers all three behaviors.
Unittests were added to cover the new implemented behaviors (both at
BKE level, and the RNA/Py API).
This commit implements #119139 design.

Since 5bcb0c9935, `uiLayout.template_ID()` already supports passing a label, in
which case the `uiLayout.use_property_split` would be respected. This makes the
template fit nicely with the surrounding layout, where buttons might have a
label split on the left, and a decorator button on the right.
This change brings the same to `uiLayout.template_search()`, plus makes it
respect `uiLayout.use_property_decorate`

For an NLA strip to use a slotted Action, it needs to specify which slot
to use in that action. This is now handled by two new properties on the
strip in DNA & RNA: `action_slot_handle` and `action_slot_name`.
These serve the same purpose as their counterparts on the `AnimData`
struct.
Note that this commit does NOT add NLA evaluation support for slotted
Actions. It merely allows assigning them. Evaluation, tweak mode
support, etc. will be implemented in future commits.

Previously, values for `ID.flag` and `ID.tag` used the prefixes `LIB_` and
`LIB_TAG` respectively. This was somewhat confusing because it's not really
related to libraries in general. This patch changes the prefix to `ID_FLAG_` and
`ID_TAG_`. This makes it more obvious what they correspond to, simplifying code.

We have a number of event icons, used on the Status Bar, to indicate
mouse actions. It is currently difficult to align these nicely because
they vary in width and design. This PR makes them all the same design
width and aligned to the left edge. This removes a need to add negative
spacing before any of them and only requires space after some of them.
This also adds a new one to indicate "double left click" as my current
use of this looks a bit sus. This also adds a "mouse wheel scroll"

This removes the legacy Grease Pencil modifiers from the code.
These should have already been inaccessible from the UI and hidden from
the user. The modifiers have been reimplemented for the new GPv3
data structure.
On top of the modifier code, some other related things have been
removed as well:
* Operators related to the legacy modifiers.
* Keymaps for the legacy modifier operators.
* Some bits of code that used modifier functions.
Some code has to be kept, because it is still used:
* The core line art code, which is used by the new line art modifier. It's
moved to `modifiers/lineart`.
* The DNA structs for the legacy modifiers. They are still needed for
conversion.
* A few kernel functions for the modifiers are kept (also for conversion).

Mostly to allow leak-free early exiting from functions generating the
tooltip data, otherwise cleanups have to be duplicated. But using smart
pointers is good practice in general. Also use references instead of
pointers, to indicate that null is not an expected value.
Support blocking extensions so there is a way for the maintainers of
the remote repository to notify the user if one of their installed
extensions blocked along with a reason for blocking.
Blocked extensions cannot be installed from the preferences or by
dropping a URL.
When an installed & blocked extension is found:
- An icon int the status bar shows an alert,
clicking on the icon shows the blocked extensions.
- The extensions preferences show a warning.
- The extensions & add-ons UI shows an alert icon
and "details" section shows the reason.
Details:
- Blocked & installed extensions are shown first in the installed
extensions panel.
- The internal "install" logic prevents downloading & installing
blocked extensions.
- Blocked extensions can still be downloaded & installed from disk.
- The "list" command includes an error message if any installed
extensions are blocked.
- The "server-generate" command can optionally take a configuration
file that includes the blocklist for the generated JSON.
See design #124954.
Add an Action Slot selector to the Action editor's header, next to the
Action selector. The selector shows all slots in the action that are
suitable for animating objects (as the Action editor itself is limited
to showing the Action of the active object).
This also considerably simplifies the 'Animation Debug' panel, as some
debugging code has been removed, as well as the display of any animation
layers. The latter can be reintroduced (if necessary) when multi-layer
animation support is added. Most importantly, it removes the
WindowManager property that was used as a hack to assign layered Actions
to objects.
API change: the RNA property `AnimData.slot` is now a pointer property
that reflects the actual slot (it used to be an enum property).
Some small changes to the UI code were necessary to make the selector
show the slot's display name (and not their internal name).
