This patch removes the Auto Render option from the compositor. This is
done for the following reason:
- The option didn't really work except in the case of transforming an
object. So it wasn't really reliable.
- It made little sense to use since the introduction of the Viewport
Compositor.
- It had a number of UX issues, including the fact that it can't be used
with animation playback, and the fact that rendering can get in the
way of the UI depending on the preferences for temporary editors.

Asset library loading uses the file browser backend (file-list), so it
would use the same job type. The job system makes sure that jobs of the
same type (or actually, with the same start callback)
wait for others of the same type to finish. This can be a problem here,
since loading asset libraries (which can take a while) could conflict
with regular file browers. Having both run in parallel is no issue, they
use local data only.
Also see #123033 to address the added TODO comment.
Fixes#121235

Wasn't exactly clear what this was doing before, and the logic using it
requires a bit of brain gymnastics to follow (with negations, nested
if's and continue's).
All add-ons were being scanned at startup, while this didn't cause
errors it was noticeable with extensions where any errors in the
manifest were being reported at startup, even when running with
factory-startup (including blender's own tests).
Address two issues:
- The logic to "reset" add-ons, so as to match the preferences when
reverting or resetting preferences always ran on startup.
This occurred because a check for Python being initialized was
incorrectly used to detect that this wasn't the first time preferences
were being loaded (regression in [0]).
- Resetting add-ons scanned all add-ons (including disabled add-ons) to
ensure their module cache is up to date. Since this the cache is
lazily initialized, it's simpler to set it as uninitialized as
resetting the add-ons doesn't require the cached meta-data.

Seems to be dependent on specific compiler/cmake version.
Is a typical mixture of missing dependencies between libraries,
object files which do not get referenced from other files in the
target, and whole-archive linking of the blender_test target.

This commit changes how users can interact with handles:
Unselected handles are not drawn anymore by default. Handles are bit
thinner. If handle can't be selected, because strip is too small,
it is not drawn.
When hovering over strip handle a cursor is changed to represent a
handle shape. It is possible to select 2 handles at once if strips are
adjoined.
When tweak event happens on unselected handle, handle selection is lost
ater tweaking.
This behavior can be disabled in preferences:
Editing > Video Sequencer > Tweak Handles.
Moving strips with G key works same way as before.

When joining areas, one will be removed which can cause
wm_gizmomaps_handled_modal_update to attempt operation on a region that
is deallocated. This PR just exits if there is no current region.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/122504
To be tackled by future commits:
* Setting the property when checking for updates.
* Read this property for the splashscreen information (and in the future the status bar).

This PR adds the *Polyline Mask*, *Polyline Face Set*, and
*Polyline Trim* tools.
## Limitations
* *Polyline Face Set* is not added to either of the *Sculpt*
or *Face Sets* menu as none of the other face set gestures are in
either.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/122248
This PR adds the `Line Face Set` tool and adds it to the following
location:
* Sculpt Mode toolbar
## Limitations
None of the existing Face Set gesture operators exist in either the
Sculpt dropdown or the Face Set dropdown, this PR does not add the Line
Face set tool in either location as well.

These popups had refreshing enabled, but the callback used for
refreshing would access a likely dangling operator pointer. One case can
use the operator-type pointer instead, in the other case disable
refreshing altogether. Also see 8ea79dc3a7.
This search menu creation/refreshing function relies on the operator
pointer which might be dangling. There are more such cases, will fix in
followup commits.
A few ID types are considered as 'never unused' in Blender (UI related
ones, the Libraries and the Scenes). Local IDs of this type are always
considered as used, even if no other ID links to them.
This was previously fairly weekly defined and implemented (mainly in the
writefile code and the 'tag unused' libquery functions).
This commit formalize this characteristic of ID types by adding a new
`IDTYPE_FLAGS_NEVER_UNUSED` flag, and using this in the few places in
the code that handle unused IDs.
Moving the cursor away from the extensions "Add Repository" popup
could crash because the "Repositories" popover was closed while the
popup it created remains open.
Resolve by clearing wmEventHandler_UI::context.region_popup
which match the freed region, following similar logic already used by
WM_event_modal_handler_region_replace.
Note that this bug was exposed by [0].

Add a preference to "Work Offline" system preference as well as command
line options `--offline-mode` & `--online-mode`
(which overrides the preference).
This option is displayed in the initial setup screen too.
This is currently respected by:
- Check for updates on startup
- Disables running an update when enabling extensions.
When Blender is launched with `--offline-mode` the option cannot be
enabled in the preferences. This is intended for environments
where internet access is intentionally disallowed.
Background: with Blender supporting access to online-repositories
as well as 3rd party extensions themselves potentially accessing the
internet. This setting provides a way for users to disable online
functionality.
This prevents error messages when online access fails in environments
without internet access as well as the ability for users who prefer
Blender doesn't access the internet to have one place to turn this off.
While it does not enforce limitations on add-ons, 3rd party scripts
are expected to respect this setting using `bpy.app.internet_offline`.
The details for this will be handled along with other policies scripts
are expected to follow.

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.

Add new ID_IS_EDITABLE macro that checks if the ID can be edited in the
user interface. Replace usage of ID_IS_LINKED where it is used with this
meaning.
Also add a corresponding ID.is_editable property for Python.
This prepares for the ability to edit some linked datablocks for brush
assets.

Sculpt: Add customizable increment for line tool snapping
This PR exposes the snap increments introduced in #118760 to the base
`WM_gesture_straightline` operators and exposes the increment menu to
allow users to change this value in both Sculpt and Weight Paint mode.
## Details
The full list of operators this affects:
* IMAGE_OT_sample_line
* PAINT_OT_weight_gradient
* MESH_OT_bisect
* PAINT_OT_mask_line_gesture
* SCULPT_OT_trim_line_gesture
* SCULPT_OT_project_line_gesture
* PAINT_OT_hide_show_line_gesture
## Compatibility
Previously, the hardcoded value for this snap increment was 15 degrees,
by using the toolsetting value, this changes the default to 5 degrees.

This just hid that freed memory was being passed to
CTX_wm_region_popup_set.
The change from [0] exposed this issue, however the problem has
existed for a long time (likely since the inclusion of popups in the
context) it's just that setting the context member when popups
are first displayed made problems more likely to show up.

New drag type `WM_DRAG_GREASE_PENCIL_GROUP` introduced for layer group nodes.
Replaced layer struct with `GreasePencilLayerTreeNode` in `wmDragGreasePencilLayer`
so group node can be stored while dragging in `wmdrag->poin`.
Using `can_drop()`, drop operation of layer group node returns `false`
if the target node is its child.
Part of #121390.

Make the function naming more generic so extending it in the future
(with asset blend file information for example) won't have to adjust
the function names to correct the semantics itself.
This is used by the brush assets branch. Though it is unused currently, the
argument is added now to reduce the trivial boilerplate changes in the diff.
