Removes many of the operators, panels, and menus used exclusively by Grease Pencil v2 that are no longer needed in v3.
No functional changes are expected.
Some operators are still used by the annotations system and have to be kept around. These may be renamed in future.

Hides the brush asset shelf by default in weight paint, grease pencil
weight paint and grease pencil vertex paint mode. These only have one
bundled brush per tool available.
After bringing back some tools for brushes in certain modes
(3798852071), we want to hide the asset shelf in modes where there's
only one brush bundled per tool. While having these tools support
brushes can be useful, we don't expect to bundle more brushes soon. So
avoid a mostly empty asset shelf for a single brush by hiding it by
default and keeping it hidden until the user expands it (bf52f6f723 made
it possible to remember the visibility per mode).
Part of #128066 and #116337.
Layer panel (also mask/ transform etc.) and other operators are gone
when properties tab is pinned and gpv3 object is non-active.
To fix this, get grease pencil pointer from `button_context()`
(done in `grease_pencil_context()`).

Adds a "Filter by Active Tool" option for the brush asset shelves,
enabled by default. If enabled, the asset shelf only shows brushes
matching the brush type of the current tool. If the general "Brush" tool
is active, only brushes that are not covered by another tool are
displayed. The popup brush selector always shows all assets.
The option is stored in the Preferences, toggled in the "Display
Settings" popover of the asset shelf.
Note: This is committed to the 4.3 release branch, which was discussed
in advance.

This adds feature parity with Cycles regarding light and shadow liking.
Technically, this extends the GBuffer header to 32 bits, and uses
the top bits to store the object's light set membership index.
The same index is also added to `ObjectInfo` in place of padding bytes.
For shadow linking, the shadow blocker sets bitmask is stored per
tilemap. It is then used during the GPU culling phase to cull objects
that do not belong to the shadow's sets.

The radial controls to set the brush size were not working in sculpt and
vertex paint mode.
This was because of a collision with the `cyclical_set` operator in edit mode.
The issue was that the poll function for the edit mode keymaps also
passed in sculpt and vertex paint mode.
To solve this, add a keymap for these common selection operators and
separate them from the general edit mode keymap.

The paint, sculpt, and vertex-paint modes already have separate context
menu classes from GPv2. The GPv2 classes will be removed, this is just
a small refactor to prevent this change from getting lost in a big
cleanup PR. No functional changes.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/128530
This should free up references to GPv2 types and operators and should
in turn make their removal easier.
- Remove keymaps for GPv2 operators from `blender_default.py` and
`industry_compatible_data.py`
- Remove keymap poll callback assignment from `gpencil_ops.cc`
- Remove keymap handler registration from `area.cc:ed_default_handlers`

On Windows an entire directory may be locked when any files inside it
are opened by another process. This can cause operations that
recursively remove a directory (uninstalling & updating) to fail
with a partially removed extension.
The case of uninstalling was already handled, where failure to remove
a directory would stage the extension for later removal.
In the case of updating however, the user could be left with a broken
(partially removed) extension where some files were removed, as the
directory was locked, the update would fail to extract new files.
Address this issue by renaming the directory before recursive removal.
The following logic has been implemented:
- If any files in the directory are locked, renaming will fail.
So even though the operation fails the extension is left intact.
- If renaming succeeds, it's possible to apply the update.
While it's possible (albeit unlikely) recursive removal fails,
which could be caused by file-system permissions issues corruption or
a process could open a file between rename & removal.
In this case the renamed directory is staged for later removal.
Other changes:
- Resolve a related problem where the user could install an
extension previously staged for removal, now installing an extension
ensured it's not removed later.
This would occur if uninstalling failed, the user resolves
directory-lock, uninstalls again, then re-installs the extension.
- When an extension fails to be removed, don't attempt to remove
user configuration for that extension.
Prefer to keep the extension & it's settings in their "current state"
if it can't be removed.
Remove the box select tool from the timeline to simplify selection
logic, avoid confusion for users, and make maintaining the code
easier in the future. It also brings the selection system closer
to other industry-standard NLEs.
It also fixes an issue caused by d2091b4b1.

This adds a function to merge layers in original Grease Pencil geometry.
It also adds an operator to merge layers as well as some tests for the `merge_layers` function.
The operator has 3 modes:
* `Merge Down`: Combine the active layer with the layer just below (if there is one).
* `Merge Group`: Combine all the layers in a group into one single layer and remove
the group. Can be accessed in the right-click menu of groups.
* `Merge All`: Combine all the layers of the object into one single layer.
All of these can be accessed in the `Extras` menu next to the layer tree.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/128201
This follows the same pattern as attribute panels for Mesh, Curves, and
Point Cloud. Only the layer domain is supported. The _add_ operator now
has to validate the domain setting on invoke, because layer attributes
don't support the default `Point` domain.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/128471
The UI code assumed that either a layer or a group is always
active which is not always the case. It can happen that nothing
is active.
The fix makes sure the this case is handled correctly.
Implements scrolling support for tree-views, as well as changing the size of the
scroll-able tree-view. This is important to be able to place them in many places
in the UI, where a compact layout is preferred over an every expanding one
(causing following contents to be scrolled out of view). UI-lists would use
scrolling and resizing to ensure this, now tree-views are on par.
Enables scrolling and resizing for:
- Bone collection UI (`UILayout.template_bone_collection_tree()`)
- Grease Pencil layer UI (`UILayout.template_grease_pencil_layer_tree()`)
- Light link collection UI (`UILayout.template_light_linking_collection()`)
- UI to define a node tree interface (`UILayout.template_node_tree_interface()`)
These are all cases where compact UIs make more sense than expanding ones.
Internally this is enabled by calling the `set_default_rows()` method of the
tree-view, although the API might change still. It shouldn't be quite simple to
implement this for grid-views too if necessary, or other potential view types.
Although I'd like to do some smaller code quality improvements still, this
feature is important for some other modules (e.g. grease pencil module for the
layers UI in grease pencil v3), so I decided to prioritize merging this.

This adds the layer adjustments back.
There is a the `Adjustment` panel under the layer properties with
the tint color, the tint factor, and the radius offset (now in meters).
The tint and radius offsets are stored as layer attributes.
For compatibility and the sake of not making the conversion code more complicated,
legacy layer adjustments are always converted to modifiers.

Move the Layer selector to the header, centered, with icons and
without labels, to match other modes that display the source
there (such as Vertex Groups, Color Attributes, etc).
Additionally, move the tool settings from the header to the right
hand side of the toolbar. Matching mesh and other modes.

As discussed in #128066, we want that activating a brush makes sure the
most appropriate tool is activated. For example activating an eraser
brush should activate an eraser tool, if available. This makes the
tool and brush binding two ways, which is more clear. Plus it means that
users don't have to care about tools at all if they don't want to, they
can just keep switching brushes and Blender takes care of the tool.
Implementation wise, this works by letting a Python operator lookup a
tool for a given brush type name, when activating a brush.
Design Task: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/128066
Since brush assets were merged, all sculpt and paint modes have a unified
"Brush" tool that is used for all brushes. Based on feedback, this mixes brush
types a bit too much, so some specific tools that use brushes should be brought
back. These brush types just behave very different from the main brush types,
and users expect them to be easily accessible from the toolbar. This also makes
them more discoverable and having tools that remember their last used brush can
be useful too (e.g. assigning shortcut to eraser tool to switch back to last
used eraser, rather than a specific eraser brush).
Note that further changes are planned, to get a true "best of both worlds"
design, where people can use a global brush library without having to worry
about tools, but brushes can also be accessed via tool categorization.
The new design works well with both mental models without being a compromise
in-between.
a79f9100a6 already brought back some tool for grease pencil draw mode, with this
commit the design is now applied to all sculpt & paint modes.
See PR for a list of tools that were brought back.

Some important operators & menus (like gesture select & animation)
were missing from grease pencil menus, and some of them had
inconsistent labels/placements.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/128427
BaseException was used as a catch-all in situations where it
didn't make sense and where "Exception" is more appropriate
based on Python's documentation & error checking tools,
`pylint` warns `broad-exception-caught` for e.g.
BaseException includes SystemExit, KeyboardInterrupt & GeneratorExit,
so unless the intention is to catch calls to `sys.exit(..)`,
breaking a out of a loop using Ctrl-C or generator-exit,
then it shouldn't be used.
Even then, it's preferable to catch those exceptions explicitly.
This changes the name from `For Each Geometry Element` to just `For Each
Element`. While we might have more foreach zones in the future, it's not clear
yet whether the longer name will be necessary to differentiate the zones. So
better just use the better looking name for now.

* Match name with the extension ID.
* More strict double comment for optional parameters.
* Comment out tag since it is optional.
* More complete explanation for the paths_exclude_pattern.
Implements the "Select Similar" operator for Grease Pencil v3.
Several modes are available. Each mode has a dedicated "distance" metric:
- layer, material: compared by index
- radius, opacity: simple value difference
- vertex color: euclidian float4 distance metric
The implementation uses a `Set` to find selected values first, then compare each point attribute value to each value in the set until a distance below the threshold is found. This could be optimized by using a KD-Tree in the future. Layer comparison is a special case because points are already separated into drawings by layer, so any drawing in a "selected" layer is becomes fully selected.

This adds an operator that splits all slots of the action on the active object,
into separate actions.
The newly created actions will be named `slot_name+Action`.
All users of those slots will be reassigned to this new action.
The exploded action will not be deleted, but will end up with 0 users
unless a fake user is set.
------
For the review, does that operator name make sense?

Set `use_property_decorate = False` in the Animation panels in the
Properties editor. This has no visual effect right now, but if we ever
decide to add labels to the selectors, this will ensure that the layout
remains correct.
Context: `layout.template_action()` and `layout.template_search()` respond
differently to the default of `use_property_decorate = True`.
This adds a button for creating a new group/folder.
Having this as an exposed button makes it faster to create groups.
This also removes the entry for adding a group in the extra menu
since it's no longer needed there.
