This commit implements the design task #78398
- Box region
- Set Custom UV Region (Ctrl-B).
- Disabled with Custom Region checkbox in the menu or (Ctrl-Alt-B).
- Box Select (Pinned) changed to (Alt-B).
- When the Custom Region enum is chosen the islands are packed
into the bounding box of the drawn region.
Ref !140020
Continues and depends on #145609, part of #140360 project.
Previously, all 5 animation/video editors had different properties
for Scrubbing/Markers region. This PR adds new Region panel for it,
so that all editors can share one color.
Text color in this region was coming from regular editor text color.
To differentiate between editors (as is the pattern already with other editors),
and allow more modular themeability of regions, new Text color is added
for that region as well.

Continuation of #140360
New common properties for Channel and Channel Selected,
used in animation editors.
Previously Dope Sheet, Graph Editor, NLA, and Movie Clip Editor
had separate properties for them.

- Channels looked different in Dope Sheet and Graph Editor. In the former,
they were same color as the background, so only labels and icons were visible,
in the latter they had a darker color, so their outline was visible. We need to pick
which design we go for now that they're combined. I chose color from Graph
Editor for now, with alpha from Dope Sheet, since only that editor uses alpha.
---
There is a confusion with names of channel colors. In 4.5 there is:
- - "Channel" (singular, blue color) which refers to objects, actions,
and action slots that hold/combine channels.
- - "Channels" (plural, black color) which refers to individual channels.
This goes against how we name things. In theme, especially, we refer to object
colors as "Object", singular, not Objects, plular. Same goes for all elements except
this one, where individual elements are referred in plural.
To lessen the confusion, and also avoid unnecessary breaking changes in the
future (in case we want to rename blue things, which seems likely), in this PR
I swap those names. Main reason is that black color marks individual channels,
so it should be singular, and blue colors are combination of many channels,
so they should be plural. Otherwise even talking about them is awkward.
Note that renaming isn't a breaking change, because we already "broke" them
by moving them to common path from individual editors.

Continuing recent attempts to combine theme settings
and reduce complexity. part of #140360
This PR adds new root panel in theme called "Regions" which for now
includes two subpanels:
# Asset Shelf
This is just moving asset shelf from root to regions, where
it's more appropriate and less noisy.
No functional changes. (alternative to #144267)
# Channels
Previously known as "Theme Space List", or "Source List",
but in user interface we refer this region as "Channels".
This region is shared by all animation/video editors, and each had
a separate panel for theme properties. Now they're combined, and all
editors follow settings defined in Regions -> Channels.
Additionally, "Source List Title" property, which was never used is removed.
Properties are also renamed to be more intuitive and shorter.
# Toolbar / Sidebar
Previously was registered separately on every single editor. This allowed
for some extra customization, but in 5.0 need for this is reduced very much,
because elements drawn in those regions (tabs & tools) are also generalized,
so it makes sense to want same background color for them as well.

Always enforce tiling of some size, up to the 8k tile size.
Rendering very big images without tiles have a lot of challenges.
While solving those challenges is not impossible, it does not seem to
be a practical time investment.
The internals of the way how Cycles work, including Cycles Standalone
is not affected by this change.
A possible downside is that path guiding might not work exactly how one
would expect it to due to lack of information sharing across multiple
tiles. This is something that never worked nicely, and camera animation
and border render has the same issues, so it is not considered a stopper
for this change.

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.

This feature works like the select circle in any other modes. The user
can press "C" in preview or timeline and then select or deselect strips
by pressing the left or middle mouse button.
It’s an enhancement for the VSE preview because:
1. It makes it more similar to other editors in Blender
2. This behavior makes it easier to select specific overlapping strips
in preview, that is because the select circle only checks for the
origin of the strip.

Continuing #140360
This PR moves keyframe theme properties from editors into Common.
Besides Dope Sheet, keyframe properties were in:
- Sequencer (almost all types, and might use more in the future)
- 3D Viewport, where the active object name overlay used a separate Object Keyframe color when
it had keyframes on the current frame. Now it uses the common Keyframe Selected color, instead
of having its own property just for this little text.
- Keyframes in Movie Clip Editor were hard-coded white, now they use a common Keyframe color.
Selected colors used wrong long key selected color, now they use common Keyframe Selected color.
- Movie Clip Editor also used separate colors for what it called "Strips", but they are visually
the exact same thing as "long keys" in Dope Sheet, so they use common long key colors now.
There are Keyframe Border properties in Dope Sheet, Sequencer, and NLA, but they're not shared
because they're drawn on very different backgrounds, in different sizes, with different fill colors, so
it's difficult to make one color work for all of them, and it can restrict customization and accessibility.

Details:
- Long keys in Dope Sheet/Clip Editor and Strips in NLA used the same internal "strip" attribute.
Those needed to be separated to properly use long key colors in common, without worrying
about affecting unrelated things, and those two are as unrelated as they can get.
To properly separate them I added new "long_key" attributes, and corresponding
`TH_LONGKEY` and `TH_LONGKEY_SELECT`.
- Long keys in Movie Clip Editor had hardcoded alpha. Now they use alpha of the theme color.

This was quite involved to get to work. Basic idea is to make
`bl_activate_operator` work for the pose library asset shelf, and
introducing a `bl_drag_operator` for blending poses.
- Make pose asset operators take an asset reference, which is how
`bl_activate_operator` usually gets the asset to operate on. This way
poses references can be assigned to a shortcut, identified by asset
library and relative asset path within the library. Falls back to
getting the asset from context.
- Trigger `bl_activate_operator` on every click, instead of only when
an un-active item becomes active. Needed so poses can be re-applied
as before.
- Fix button context not passed to the `bl_activate_operator` when
force-activating, e.g. on right-click events.
- Allow registering a `bl_drag_operator` in the asset shelf definition.
Executed when dragging an asset in the shelf.
- When dragging an asset, highlight it as active, without calling the
`bl_activate_operator`. This is important feedback to the user.
- Activate/select view items on click instead of drag, so dragging is
possible.
- Let pose applying operators handle the Ctrl key to apply poses
flipped. There's no simple way to attach such alternative behaviors
to `bl_activate_operator`/`bl_drag_operator`
- Remove keymap items that were there for the previous "hacky" solution
to apply & blend poses.

When the `Join` operator was added to Grease Pencil v3 the behavior when
joining points was changed. The selected point would now be split from the
existing strokes and put into a new one.
This behavior is often undesirable, leading to multiple user reporting it as a

grease pencil, and sets it as default. This PR also renames the existing modes
to `SplitAndCopy`, `SplitPoints` to better indicate the expected behavior.

This PR adds a slip tool in the toolbar with its own custom icon for
applying slips using the mouse. This is useful for e.g. tablets where a
keyboard is not handy and a button would be best to activate the
operator.
There is also a custom cursor that appears when hovering over valid,
slippable strips (and a "stop" icon when the strip cannot be slipped).
Alt may be used in order to ignore slipping connected strips when using
the tool, similar to selection logic. The slip tool only performs its
sole function of slipping and as such does not change the selection
state.
In the future, we can also add "slide" functionality to the same tool,
giving it multiple functions.

There are many accumulated unused properties in theme. Generally, it's a mess,
lot of copy-paste errors and leftovers between editors, shared functions with no
actual use, etc. Some were just added and never used, like Pattern and Layout nodes,
which were meant to be used with Texture Nodes I believe, but it never happened.
Overall 19 properties removed:
- 3D Viewport: Edge UV Face Select
- 3D Viewport: Last Selected Point
- Dope Sheet/Timeline: Value Sliders
- Dope Sheet/Timeline: View Sliders
- Nonlinear Animation: View Sliders
- Video Sequencer: Window Sliders

- Same thing in `rna_def_userdef_theme_spaces_face` for face attributes (Freestyle Mark, Retopology),
so that they don't appear in UV Editor, where they're unused. Also did same for face orientation colors,
but used different argument for them, since they could be used in future (remember seeing PR for this).

Moving curve handle colors & size from space editors into common theme properties.
They are now shared by 3D Viewport, Image Editor, Graph Editor, and Movie Clip Editor,
instead of each of them having their own properties.
(Video in PR)
---
Details:
- NURB U/V lines, active spline, and last selected point colors were defined
in `rna_def_userdef_theme_spaces_curves` but were optional and only called by
3D viewport. Since no other editor calls that function anymore, I removed it and
moved those properties directly inside `rna_def_userdef_theme_space_view3d`.
- In Image Editor & Movie Clip Editor (Mask mode), curves don't ever show
selection colors, and Vector handles are generally never visible, that is
bug/missing in Blender in general, not a result of this PR.
- Handle vertex size were included in Dope Sheet and NLA, where handles don't
exist. Now as a side effect they're removed as well.

This adds the `Pen` tool to Grease Pencil Edit Mode.
With the pen tool you can:
- Extrude points by `Left Click`.
- Move the handles by dragging the mouse.
- Snap handles to 45 degree increments with `Shift`.
- Cycle through the handle types by `Double Clicking`.
- Add new point on segments by `Ctrl Clicking`.
- Remove existing point by `Ctrl Clicking`.
- Close a curve by clicking on one end while having the other selected.
- Move existing segment by clicking and dragging on the edge.
- Move points by clicking and dragging the mouse.
Some changes have been made compared to the legacy
curve object's pen tool:
- `Angle locking` with `Alt` was replaced with `Angle Snapping`
using `Shift`. This was done to match the behavior of Grease Pencil
primitive tools.
- `Move Entire Point` was changed from the `Space` key to `Alt`. This
was done because some laptops can't move the mouse while
`Space` is held.
- `Link Handles` and `Free Align Toggle` were not implemented.
- `Toggle Vector` and `Close Spline Method` were removed.
- `Close Spline` was removed and set to always be true.
- `Extrude Handle` type was removed as a option and was replaced
by the `shift` modifier key when clicking.
- Newly created points are placed on the drawing plane, instead of
the view plane.
When a new curve is created, the material will be the active material
and the radius will be set from the `radius` property.
Note: This tool is added to edit mode because it uses handle selection
and bézier overlays which currently don't exist in draw mode.
A future PR will implement a draw mode version.

Duplicating a strip that references an ID like the scene strip would not
duplicate the scene. This is wanted in some workflows.
To align with the rest of Blender, this changes the behavior for how
strips are duplicated:
* `Shift + D` ("duplicate"): Duplicate the strip and also duplicate the
IDs referenced by the strip. Currently this only affects `Scene`,
`MovieClip`, and `Mask` strips.
* `Alt + D` ("duplicate linked"): Duplicate the strip, but reference the
same IDs. This is the current behavior in `main`.

- Marker Line (was shared by 5 editors)
- Marker Line Selected (was shared by 5 editors)
- Channel (was shared by 3 editors)
- Sub-channel (was shared by 3 editors)
- Channel Group (was shared by 2 editors)
- Active Channel Group (was shared by 2 editors)
In total, 27 properties are replaced with 7.
---
User Visible Changes:
- "Current Frame" is renamed to "Playhead". It was general sentiment among
Anim and UI modules to rename this everywhere after "Playhead Snapping" was
added, and this is first step towards that. Name is more recognizable and it's
clear it refers to UI element, rather than something as generic as "current frame".
- Channel, Sub-channel, Channel Group, and Active Channel Group colors in
Dope Sheet had alpha, but ones in Graph and NLA editors didn't. New common
property is used for all three of them and has alpha, meaning two editors gain
alpha as well, but they don't use alpha, still only Dope Sheet does.
- Channel and Sub-channel had different color in NLA and didn't match Dope Sheet
and Graph Editor, now since it's shared it has same color, which is a visual change
(slighlty lighter blue).

Ref !136086
The W channel in quaternion and axis-angle F-Curves is now themeable
(defaulting to yellow), instead of incorrectly blending the X and Y axis
theme colors.
The original blending math did not take into account that the hue
channel actually wraps around, and so the blended color became blue
instead of the intended yellow.
Instead of fixing the math, the theme has been expanded for this W axis.
The default color is set to the mathematically correct yellow.

This initial commit properly clamps handles for video/audio strips, and
provides functionality to enable/disable the behavior for all strip types
(addresses #90280).
Toggling handle clamping is done with "C",
just like with the redesigned slip operator (#137072).
If a strip is not already clamped when you start moving its handles,
then clamping behavior is disabled starting out. This means no abrupt
clamp until you explicitly ask for it.
Transform logic was altered, fixing a few bugs:
- When initializing a transform, `createTransSeqData` would already
create some clamping data for channels. This patch replaces it with
`offset_clamp` (for unconditional clamping which cannot be disabled)
and `handle_xmin/xmax` (for hold offset clamping, which is optional).
- Collecting this data ahead of time is necessary for the double
handle tweak case -- `flushTransSeq` only works one strip at a
time, so we can't clamp post-hoc.
- In `applySeqSlideValue`, we apply `transform_convert_sequencer_clamp`
before values are printed to the header, but let the unclamped values
get flushed to the strips themselves. This is so that we can have the
data later at the individual strip level to recalculate clamps.
Otherwise, if transform values are clamped preemptively, then we have
no idea whether strips are clamped vs. merely resting at their
boundaries.
Note that currently, handle clamping is drawn identically to overlaps.

Historically, the `UnifiedPaintSettings` struct has been used to
provide users the ability to set brush values at a scene level. Examples
of such attributes are the brush size, strength, and color, to name a
few.
Instead of these values being shared across all of the grease pencil,
mesh painting, and curves sculpting modes. This commit migrates the
data to the `Paint` struct, meaning that each individual mode (e.g.
Sculpt, Vertex Paint, Grease Pencil Draw) now has the ability to change
these values without affecting other modes.
While this change is large, the majority of the work is simply
refactoring access to the `UnifiedPaintSetting` struct. to ensure the
