Numerical inputs have little arrows on the left and right to allow
quick increment/decrement of the value. But these are only shown on
hover, which does not help if using a device that does not have a hover
state (some pens, most touch). This PR adds a user preference to show
them always.

This PR changes the animation playhead to make it more recognizable,
have a shape that can be better represented in icons, and to more
easily distinguish it from other indicators like markers.

Add "Reduce Motion" option to a new `Accessibility` panel under
Preferences, User Interface.
"Reduce Motion" avoids non-essential animation effects, especially
useful for those experiencing motion sickness/vertigo.
It affects:
* Region open/close.
* Pie menus animation.
* Smooth views.
This panel in the future could host common accessibility settings such
as "Increase Contrast" or font size and weight controls that currently
are part of themes.
See PR for details and screenshots.

Certain packed images, like those loaded directly into memory with
`BKE_image_packfiles_from_mem`, would cause USD to process the images as
"in memory" rather than as "packed" because the API was not removing the
IMG_GEN_TILE flag.
Additionally, be sure to use the packed filepath whenever possible
rather than the name given to the Image datablock as this ensures the
correct file names are used inside the USD file and for the resulting
file on disk after export.
This also fixes 2 render tests which now match when compared to the
native renders.

* Store scene linear to XYZ conversion matrix in each blend file, along
with the colorspace name. The matrix is the source of truth. The name
is currently only used for error logging about unknown color spaces.
* Add Working Space option in color management panel, to change the
working space for the entire blend file. Changing this will pop up
a dialog, with a default enabled option to convert all colors in
the blend file to the new working space. Note this is necessarily only
an approximation.
* Link and append automatically converts to the color space of the main
open blend file.
* There is builtin support for Rec.709, Rec.2020 and ACEScg working spaces,
in addition to the working space of custom OpenColorIO configs.
* Undo of working space for linked datablocks isn't quite correct when going
to a smaller gamut working space. This can be fixed by reloading the file
so the linked datablocks are reloaded.
Compatibility with blend files saved with a custom OpenColorIO config
is tricky, as we can not detect this.
* We assume that if the blend file has no information about the scene
linear color space, it is the default one from the active OCIO config.
And the same for any blend files linked or appended. This is effectively
the same behavior as before.
* Now that there is a warning when color spaces are missing, it is more
likely that a user will notice something is wrong and only save the
blend file with the correct config active.
* As no automatic working space conversion happens on file load, there is
an opportunity to correct things by changing the working space with
"Convert Colors" disabled. This can also be scripted for all blend files
in a project.

Left for future work:
* Freestyle modifiers, dynamic paint, legacy texture mapping
* Editor colors: should be changed to sRGB?
* Studio light preferences: also sRGB, though less clear

There is a bad const cast here, but seems to work ok in practice. Creating a
whole new config would be tricky, though something we should support in the
future for other reasons.

- "Is this strip type an effect?" has been done by reserving 3rd bit
of the effect enum values to indicate that. That is a very strange
decision, so make that be done by strip_is_effect() function. The
enum values have to stay the same for backwards compat however.
- Both "strip type" and "strip blend mode" were sourced from the
same STRIP_TYPE_ enum, with only parts of the values meant for "type",
and other parts of values meant for "blend mode". That again is highly
confusing; split that off into two enums. Yes there's a handful of
values in them that overlap, but not the majority.

Details about IMB_byte_from_float:
- No longer allocate a full new float buffer, instead do all work in
a local small (32KB size, half of typical L1 cache) job-local buffer.
- Previous code was doing un-premultiply + OCIO + premultiply
+ un-premultiply again. That is pointless; just do
un-premultiply once.
Details about IMB_float_from_byte / IMB_float_from_byte_ex:
- Remove incorrect code around"allocate float buffer outside of image
buffer" since it was not actually true to begin with.
- Inside threaded part, do color space conversion and premultiply at
once per-scanline, so that data stays in CPU caches more.

The tooltips for fonts in the file browser, while in list view, now
shows either no preview or a blank white square (depending if you
viewed them with thumbnails in the current session). This PR corrects
that to always show a preview. It also shows this preview while in
thumbnail view.

This feature works like the select lasso in other editors. In preview
the user can draw a region they want to select and when a strips origin
is in this lasso region the strip gets selected.
In timeline the user can do the same and the strip gets selected when
the strip is in the lasso or some part of the lasso is in the strip.
The tool can be accessed through in the toolbar or via shortcut.

In a simple test with two strokes affecting the majority of a
25 million vertex mesh (multires level 3), I observed a memory
usage decrease from 1.87 GB to 1.51 GB (24% less).
Also includes one simplification to Mesh position restore/swap:
the indices don't change during undo/redo at all, so we don't
need to re-compress the array and store it.

When shadow linking is enabled, `intersect_dedicated_light` is scheduled even
if the `PATH_RAY_SUBSURFACE` flag is set. This checks the flag and schedules
`intersect_subsurface` instead.

This PR makes it possible to paste strips directly at the mouse in the
VSE Preview, making it faster to paste strips directly at the position
the user wants the strip to be. It is still possible to paste the strip at the
original position with the `ctrl + shift + v` shortcut.

Previously, group input values were logged for each group input socket. This
means that each value might be logged many times currently when there are many
Group Input nodes.
This patch changes it so that group input values are only logged for a single
socket. In the provided file from #145385 this speeds up playback performance
from 23 to 39 fps. The next bottleneck there is node editor drawing. If I change
the Geometry Nodes editor to another editor type the speedup is 36 (`main`) to
110 fps (this patch).

These don't really work as scene linear with sRGB transfer function for e.g.
ACEScg, there are not enough bits. If you want wide gamut you need to use
float colors.

If any display, view or colorspace is not found, these would be changed to an
existing one and show warnings in the console. Now also warn about this in the
user interface using the same mechanism as loading new blend files in older Blender
versions, with a warning in the status bar and on file save.

Qualcomm GPU doesn't support image load/store on framebuffers. We use
load store to convert to the correct color space. This PR will only
set the VK_IMAGE_USAGE_STORAGE_BIT when HDR is available. As Qualcomm
doesn't support HDR using Vulkan this is safe.

An existing node converts a value (float) to string. This node is intended as a conversion in
the other direction. If parsing is unsuccessful, floating point 0 is output. This node also
outputs the length of the parsed string (i.e. the index of the first character where the
number stopped).

Replaces current basis function calculation which seems to be a direct
implementation of the recursive NURBS formulation. New implementation
avoids the need to check for zero divisions during iteration. Out of
bounds checks are also converted to asserts, assuming input provides
valid span index.
Performance wise this nets a 7+% performance improvement with the
average result being as fast or faster then the fastest execution
from previous implementation!
