Small changes to the status bar display when the active object has non-
uniform or negative scale. Use CTX_data_active_object rather than
BKE_view_layer_active_object_get. Case correction for a text string.
Small spacing change. Improved comments.

Previously, the global storage of these types either used a GHash or a
blender::Map. VectorSet is preferrable to GHash because it's type safe,
clearer, and faster. It's preferrable to Map because the key doesn't
have to be duplicated and because iteration is faster.
This PR moves these registered types to VectorSet, just like the
node, node socket, and node tree types. Note that none of these types
use RAII for allocation, so freeing is still done manually.
Testing was manually interacting with each of these systems, including
with addons that register their own types.

This patch adds support for drag and dropping colors (from color buttons) into
the Compositing, Shading and Geometry node trees.
Additional support was added for dragging and dropping colors with an Alpha
component (which was previously ignored), both in the context of the Node Editor
and for Color Buttons in general. This handles cases like drag and dropping a
color from an RGB to an RGBA button, which recreates the color with a default
Alpha value of 1.0.

Previously, there was a `StringRef.copy` method which would copy the string into
the given buffer. However, it was not defined for the case when the buffer was
too small. It moved the responsibility of making sure the buffer is large enough
to the caller.
Unfortunately, in practice that easily hides bugs in builds without asserts
which don't come up in testing much. Now, the method is replaced with
`StringRef.copy_utf8_truncated` which has much more well defined semantics and
also makes sure that the string remains valid utf-8.
This also renames `unsafe_copy` to `copy_unsafe` to make the naming more similar
to `copy_utf8_truncated`.

In the theme settings for the user interface, there was a option to
change the outline color of pulldown menus (E.g. the buttons at the top
of the 3D viewport) when the button was selected.
However this color wasn't used. This commit aims to fix that
by using the selected outline color for the outline of selected
pulldown buttons.

There is no (good) reason to use 'refine' internal code to create RNA
pointers of IDs, these always ignore any 'ID inheritance', since by
definition the 'owner ID' info of an ID PointerRNA is always that ID.
Similarily, do not call RNA pointers creation code with null data, this
will simply return `PointerRNA_NULL`, can as well return that directly.

PR #133601 exposes some holes in the Status Bar display. Currently you
can see keymap entries for other areas, like 3D View, when hovering in
the Top Bar. Or see the wrong items when hovering in a non-region
portions of an area. Or see keymap entries for window regions while
hovering headers. This PR fixes all these things.

When your mouse is hovering in the gaps between editors the Status Bar
indicates that you can resize and bring up context options. This same
gap is also along the outside window edges even though not visible and
so shows these options when not applicable. This PR carefully shows the
actual area options right up to the edge instead. And also does not
show "Resize" for the gap between global areas and the rest.

Instead of requiring an image buffer to draw a bigger preview image
while dragging, allow passing an icon ID and draw that as preview. This
is also how we draw previews elsewhere. Use this for attaching the asset
previews to draggable buttons.
A small user visible change is that previews from the asset browser will
always draw at the default size (multiplied by the interface scale)
while dragging. Previously it used the same size as the asset browser
preview size, which I don't think was useful really. With small sizes
the preview while dragging got unnecessarily small too, with big sizes
it got in the way.
Needed for #131871.
When loading preview images from disk, we'd first scale them to the
standard preview image size (in `icon_copy_rect()`) and then scale them
again to the drawing size when eventually drawing to screen. The first
scaling would happen on the CPU, which is slow, and without filtering.
Now the image is stored in its original size and only scaled when
drawing, which uses scaling on the GPU with mipmaps and bi-linear
filtering. While a bit more blurry, the resulting image has less
artifacts and represents the original image better. Keeping the images
unscaled means memory footprint is bigger, we could cap the size if
necessary.
Noticed while working on #131871. Asset shelf previews would have more
artifacts than before.

Both Image and Sequencer vectorscopes used YUV U,V coordinates
as-is, but their possible ranges are different: +-0.436 and
+-0.615 respectively.
It looks like more other software (ffmpeg, shotcut, etc.)
re-scales the vectorscope UV to fill up a square, i.e. streches
out the horizontal values, so do the same.
This fixes the "skin tone indicator" line, which at 123 degrees
(90 + 33 degrees to match positive I axis of YIQ color space) was
placed assuming the UV values fill up a square. So it was at the
wrong angle before.
The vectorscope horizontal scaling and skin tone indicator line now
matches other open source (ffmpeg, shotcut) and commercial (davinci
resolve, final cut pro) software packages.

This patch automatically grays out input values which can't affect the output
currently. It works with inputs of group nodes, geometry nodes modifiers and
node tools.
To achieve this, it analyses the node tree and partially evaluates it to figure
out which group inputs are currently not linked to an output or are disabled by e.g.
some switch node.
Original proposal: https://devtalk.blender.org/t/dynamic-socket-visibility/31874

Follow up task for designing a UI that allows hiding sockets: #132706
Limitations:
* The inferencing does not update correctly when a socket starts being
animated/driven. I haven't found a good way to invalidate the cache in a good
way reliably yet. It's only a very short term problem though. It fixes itself
after the next modification of the node tree and is only noticeable when
animating some specific sockets such as the switch node condition.
* Whether a socket is grayed out is not exposed in the Python API yet. That will
be done separately.
* Only a partial evaluation is done to determine if an input affects an output.
There should be no cases where a socket is found to be unused when it can actually
affect the output. However, there can be cases where a socket is inferenced to be used
even if it is not due to some complex condition. Depending on the exact circumstances,
this can either be improved or the condition in the node tree should be simplified.

This PR adds new RNA properties that deprecate and replace any `sequence` property.
The old prooperties are still there and fully functional, but the description is changed
to indicate that these will be removed in the future and that the new properties should
be used instead.
| Deprecated property | Replacement property |
| --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `context.active_sequence_strip` | `context.active_strip` |
| `context.selected_editable_sequences` | `context.selected_editable_strips` |
| `context.selected_sequences` | `context.selected_strips` |
| `context.sequences` | `context.strips` |
| `SequenceEditor.sequences` | `SequenceEditor.strips` |
| `SequenceEditor.sequences_all` | `SequenceEditor.strips_all` |
| `MetaStrip.sequences` | `MetaStrip.strips` |
Previously, rna paths for animation data on strips started with `sequence_editor.sequences`.
This PRadds versioning for the rna paths to make sure to use
the new naming scheme. This does mean that in previous versions of blender,
the animations don't show but the data is not lost (even if the file is saved in the older version).
Also do some cleanup of existing python scripts inside the source to use the
new properties.
Part of #132963.

Slight displacement in mouse position triggers timer reset (pass=1).
With such condition, new redraw call to tooltip sets non zero timer
value (`r_pass_delay`) and `is_label=true` inside `ui_but_tooltip_init`.
This label boolean further skips drawing of description (for example, see:
`ui_tooltip_data_from_tool`).
To resolve this situation, inside timer_reset function keep `pass=0`
when tooltip region exists (i.e label is already visible on tooltip)

The steps in #132900 would lead to a failed assert and some warning prints:
"Warning: Asset loading is unfinished". This is because asset libraries get
cleared more strictly and correctly since a859ed1130, but only once the menu
was shown it would get reloaded.
Instead make sure the asset library loading gets triggered whenever a button to
popup a brush asset shelf is present. This makes sense because in this context
you typically want an asset library available.
`BKE_main_ensure_invariants` was added in 1fae5fd8f6. The older
`ED_node_tree_propagate_change` was already implemented as a thin wrapper around
`BKE_main_ensure_invariants`. This patch removes the wrapper and calls the more
general function directly.
A new overload of `BKE_main_ensure_invariants` is added for the common case when
only a single data-block has been modified.

Addresses #78171, #61828, #62473 and many closed reports about this.
Until now, the "Adjust Last Operation" would keep being available after
changing various properties in the UI. Actually using it to adjust the
last operation parameters would undo the other changes done through the
UI, which is unexpected and easy to miss. Users would keep running into
this, thinking it was a bug, as the many reports merged into #78171
indicate.
As agreed on in the report, adjusting the last operation shouldn't be
possible after changing properties in the UI that send an undo push.
That's what this PR implements, together with removing the "Adjust Last
Operation" region at that point.

- "Steps" can refer to staircase steps in the context of curve
profiles. Use already-extracted "Mesh" context.
- In the context of the Grease Pencil noise modifier, refers to a step
number between frames.
- In the general context, refers to a number of times to do an
operation.
Issue reported by Hoang Duy Tran.
- "Space" can be the spacebar key. This uses the UIEvents context
already. One instance is the event type enum item, where "Spacebar"
is the label and "Space" is the description. Since there is no way
to use contexts for descriptions since they are supposed to be more
verbose, the label was renamed to "Space Bar" (acceptable according
to Wikipedia), and the description to "Spacebar".
- In the context of the Grease Pencil, "Space" is a method of spacing
brush strokes.

Multi-column lists are supposed to collapse to single-column when they
are estimated to be wider than the available window width. However,
current code has two errors. First the calculation of the maximum
number of possible rows is based on entire screen height when the most
available is a bit less than half. This too-large value was used in
the calculation of widths, yet the maximum rows is actually clamped
to about 24 for uncategorized lists. Whenever the former is greater
than the latter this could cause collapsing to not occur. This issue is
only really noticeable for lists in Nodes as these can be shown much
smaller than regular size. This PR fixes the max-row calculation and
uses this correctly when breaking lists without categories.

For node region, `event_cursor` is true, it sends update to the cursor
every draw call, this restores the cursor `WM_CURSOR_X_MOVE`.
Issue is originally caused by e6d941cdf4 and it introduced couple other

restore modal cursor after drawing context menu, i.e. execution of
`ui_popup_context_menu_for_button`.

As proposed in #98518, this moves all `View2D` files into
a `source/blender/editors/inteface/view2d/` directory. This helps
keeping the `interface/` directory clean. In general I think we should
promote a more modular thinking, where coherent parts of the code form a
module or sub-module. The directory structure and its files can reflect
that nicely.

The new description for `bNode.type_legacy`:
```
/**
* Legacy integer type for nodes. It does not uniquely identify a node type, only the `idname`
* does that. For example, all custom nodes use #NODE_CUSTOM but do have different idnames.
* This is mainly kept for compatibility reasons.
*
* Currently, this type is also used in many parts of Blender, but that should slowly be phased
* out by either relying on idnames, accessor methods like `node.is_reroute()`.
*
* A main benefit of this integer type over using idnames currently is that integer comparison is
* much cheaper than string comparison, especially if many idnames have the same prefix (e.g.
* "GeometryNode"). Eventually, we could introduce cheap-to-compare runtime identifier for node
* types. That could mean e.g. using `ustring` for idnames (where string comparison is just
* pointer comparison), or using a run-time generated integer that is automatically assigned when
* node types are registered.

The part that used the context does not seem to be necessary anymore. If the
given tree has any update tag set, the same notifiers will be sent anyway by the
`tree_changed_fn` callback.
If it turns out that we are now missing some notifier, then we have to change
the caller. It either has to call the proper `BKE_ntree_update_tag_*` function,
or create the notifier directly.
This change helps to generalize the concept of propagating changes in original
data, because the context is rarely available.

Scrolling a tree view could result in incorrectly drawn hierarchy lines, see
https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/132386#issuecomment-1384663
Two issues:
- The index of the last descendant of an item was off by one
- When a hierarchy line was skipped because it was scrolled out of view, the
following indices would be wrong.
