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.

`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.

Main goals of this refactor:
* Make it more obvious which update function should be used.
* Make it more obvious which parameters are required by using references instead
of pointers.
* Support passing in multiple modified trees instead of just a single one.
No functional changes are expected.

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.

Make the type structs non-trivial, use new and delete for allocation and
freeing, and use std::string for most strings they contain. Also use
StringRef instead of char pointers in a few places. Mainly this improves
ergonomics when working with the strings.

Currently each node's position is stored in the coordinate space of
its parent. To find the location of a node on the canvas, we have to
apply the translation of each of its parents. Also, nodes have hidden
"offset" values used while transforming frame nodes. Together,
those made the system much more complicated than necessary,
and they made the Python API ineffective.
This commit removes usage of the offset values and moves nodes
to be stored in the "global" space of the node canvas. It also resolves
some weird behavior when resizing frame nodes, and fixes a few bugs.
The change is forward compatible, so we still write files with nodes in
the old parent-space format. In 5.0 the conversion when writing can be
removed. The existing Python API also stays the same. A new
"location_absolute" property gives node locations in global space,
and changing the old property also moves the child nodes of frames.
Resolves#92458, #72904.

NOTE: This also required some changes to Cycles code itself, who is now
directly including `BKE_image.hh` instead of declaring a few prototypes
of these functions in its `blender/utils.h` header (due to C++ functions
names mangling, this was not working anymore).

This adds the ability to customize the default width of a group node that's
created for a node group. This feature works towards the goal of unifying the
features available to built-in nodes and node groups. We often customize the
width of built-in nodes from them to looks slightly better (e.g. to avoid
cut-off labels).

This commit moves generated `RNA_blender.h`, `RNA_prototype.h` and
`RNA_blender_cpp.h` headers to become C++ header files.
It also removes the now useless `RNA_EXTERN_C` defines, and just

declarations here.

For the brush assets, this mechanism makes brush, texture, node tree and
image datablocks editable even when library linked.
This commit should introduce no functional change yet, as the code to
actually tag such libraries as editable will come later.
* These libraries and their datablocks are preserved when loading a new
blend file, much like the UI can be preserved.
* Operators that create new datablocks to be assigned to such datablocks
will put the datablocks in the same library immediately. This was
implemented for datablocks relevant for brush assets.
* RNA does not allow assignment of pointers from such linked datablocks
to local datablocks.

Use `FileHandlers` to handle file drag-n-drop in Node Editors. Drop-boxes
still remain since they handle Images ID drag-n-drop.
This also allows to open/drag-n-drop multiple files at once.
Also this will allow add-ons to also support drag-n-drop for images and
movies in node editors while still providing access to Blender's native
support since File Handlers let users choose which to invoke if there's
multiple configured.

`UUID` generally stands for "universally unique identifier". The session identifier that
we use is neither universally unique, nor does it follow the standard. Therefor, the term
"session uuid" is confusing and should be replaced.
In #116888 we briefly talked about a better name and ended up with "session uid".
The reason for "uid" instead of "id" is that the latter is a very overloaded term in Blender
already.
This patch changes all uses of "uuid" to "uid" where it's used in the context of a
"session uid". It's not always trivial to see whether a specific mention of "uuid" refers
to an actual uuid or something else. Therefore, I might have missed some renames.
I can't think of an automated way to differentiate the case.
BMesh also uses the term "uuid" sometimes in a the wrong context (e.g. `UUIDFaceStepItem`)
but there it also does not mean "session uid", so it's *not* changed by this patch.

Now that specific menus can be searched directly (see 7f9d51853c),
there is no need to maintain separate search functionality for adding
nodes. This PR removes the add node search. In a way this brings us
closer to the `NodeItem` situation before, but the setup is more
flexible since the menus are more standard and easier to customize.
In the few ways we customized the node search items before, this gives
us the same results as before. Overall the searching is less flexible,
but I think that is just a tradeoff we have to accept for the simplicity
of searching menus. In the future menus could be made more dynamic,
with each builtin node's menu path stored on the node type, similar to
assets. That might be a nice compromise. In the meantime this code
is just dead weight.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/112056
Use the same method for passing assets to an operator as the newer node
group operator menus. This supports quick favorites and shortcuts for
specific assets.
Also fix a crash when a dynamic submenu is added to quick favorites.
That still doesn't work though-- the menu ends up being empty.
There are a couple of functions that create rna pointers. For example
`RNA_main_pointer_create` and `RNA_pointer_create`. Currently, those
take an output parameter `r_ptr` as last argument. This patch changes
it so that the functions actually return a` PointerRNA` instead of using
the output parameters.
This has a few benefits:
* Output parameters should only be used when there is an actual benefit.
Otherwise, one should default to returning the value.
* It's simpler to use the API in the large majority of cases (note that this
patch reduces the number of lines of code).
* It allows the `PointerRNA` to be const on the call-site, if that is desired.
No performance regression has been measured in production files.
If one of these functions happened to be called in a hot loop where
there is a regression, the solution should be to use an inline function
there which allows the compiler to optimize it even better.

Blender File view was not listing the new group under "Node Groups"
after import (this is not covered by ED_node_tree_propagate_change() -
and probably shouldnt).
Added the dedicated notifier for this case in the operator.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/111924
This was noted in code comments and checked in Python documentation
generation but not at build time.
Since these enums are identifiers that end up included in various places
enforce the `rna_enum_*_items` convention which was noted as
the convention but not followed strictly.
Partially reverts [0], avoids having to deal with multiple prefix types.

There was a difference between drag&drop assets from the asset browser
vs. using the search menu (in that doing it from the menu would
correctly hide the data-block selector on the nodegroup).
Since drag&drop in the Node Editor uses `NODE_OT_add_group` (not
`NODE_OT_add_group_asset` as the menu does), we have to add the hiding
here too (for this, an operator property is added which is set in
`node_group_drop_copy` if we are dropping an asset.
Alternatively, we could use `NODE_OT_add_group_asset`, too, but that
would require somehow setting the "asset" context pointer from the
dropbox copy function [how to do this wasnt obvious for me]. In that
case, we would need to set up a separate dropbox with appropriate poll
functions (so there would be one for asset groups and for the the other
groups).

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
Reason was a difference in poll functions (dropbox poll function vs.
operator poll function).
So the dropbox was actually recognized as being active (see
`dropbox_active`) but then when actually dropping, the corresponding
operator wasnt called (but instead another operator was).
In detail, the way `wm_handlers_do_intern` works, it checks all
dropboxes poll function if one succeeds it calls the dropbox operator.
But if that operators poll function fails, `wm_handlers_do_intern`
happily continues and "ends" the drop operations in a way we dont
actually get to the "real" dropbox & operator that was also recognized
as being active.
In the case of the report:
- dropbox for `UI_OT_drop_name` is active
- dropbox poll for `NODE_OT_add_object` (`node_object_drop_poll`)
succeeds though
- operator poll for `NODE_OT_add_object` (`node_add_object_poll`) fails
(it checks `UI_but_active_drop_name` already)
So in order to make this work, add the check for `UI_but_active_drop_name` to two dropbox poll
functions (and remove from the operator polls).
Probably good for LTS as well.

With the end goal of simplifying ownership and memory management,
and allowing the use of `get_name` in contexts without statically
allocated strings, use `std::string` for the return values of these two
operator type callbacks instead of `const char *` and `char *`.
In the meantime things get uglier in some places. I'd expect `std::string`
to be used more in the future elsewhere in Blender though.

Using ClangBuildAnalyzer on the whole Blender build, it was pointing
out that BLI_math.h is the heaviest "header hub" (i.e. non tiny file
that is included a lot).
However, there's very little (actually zero) source files in Blender
that need "all the math" (base, colors, vectors, matrices,
quaternions, intersection, interpolation, statistics, solvers and
time). A common use case is source files needing just vectors, or
just vectors & matrices, or just colors etc. Actually, 181 files
were including the whole math thing without needing it at all.
This change removes BLI_math.h completely, and instead in all the
places that need it, includes BLI_math_vector.h or BLI_math_color.h
and so on.
Change from that:
- BLI_math_color.h was included 1399 times -> now 408 (took 114.0sec
to parse -> now 36.3sec)
- BLI_simd.h 1403 -> 418 (109.7sec -> 34.9sec).
Full rebuild of Blender (Apple M1, Xcode, RelWithDebInfo) is not
affected much (342sec -> 334sec). Most of benefit would be when
someone's changing BLI_simd.h or BLI_math_color.h or similar files,
that now there's 3x fewer files result in a recompile.

The asset import method option was added after the additions that use
assets in the node editor, so the node editor features still always used
append and reuse, no matter the import method.
This commit improves the asset import function to use the asset's
