Make HSL wheel useful in compositing.
In HSL, 0.5 lightness corresponds to most vibrant colors so make that
default for locked wheels (previous value of 1.0 just made it white).
Also, unlock the wheel for both very bright and very dark colors.
and value/lightness slider stops midway.
Issue here is manyfold:
Color wheel does not support properties with different soft min/max
values than 1.0 (which after experimenting a little I left as is), and
also color management is completely destroying the mapping between the
value slider and the RNA property value range. To solve this I have
disabled color management by setting the property to gamma corrected
(only in RNA, Sequence editor coders please check!), otherwise it will
just become a big mess of tracking where color comes from and what kind
of color transforms it needs in different color pickers (if property has
non normalized range etc). HSL is not really meant to represent colors
outside a normalized space so I have disabled setting lightness above
1.0 in this model.
This will work, however it is hacking a color picker to do something
other than what it is supposed to do: pick a color from the screen
accurately. Which means normalized values always. The non normalized
colors picked for lift/gain/gamma through the pickers do not correspond
to any accurate colors; they are rather a user friendly way to 'sort of'
choose a color and a gamma with an indication of maximum value.
I think that lift/gamma/gain nodes need a dedicated widget for this
(besides it is quite clear that some options are written for that use
case) -or- a separate gamma multiplier for the picked color (which
should itself be in a normalized space)
Was using wire or black in many places, this color is used for cursor,
camera guides, transform helper lines. So its possible to have a dark
background with light overlay color.
Patch D331 by Brita, with some edits.
This was supposed to fix inaccuracies between S-H wheel but it makes the
colors selected through the SV-H color cube wrong (see http://
%28SV-H%29-Inaccurate). Instead of deactivating color management for SV
and H widgets just reenable correction for the Hue wheel. This is wrong
because HSV always refers to display space and we -have- to account for
that when using linear color RNA properties.
This is a standard Hue - Saturation - Lightness model
(see for instance entry on wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV)
Note though the difference between HSV and HSL saturation, which are not the same.
The advantage of having this color selection scheme is that artists can select
shades and tints of a color easily by using the lightness slider. Also colors
are arranged on (approximated) perceived lightness on the color wheel.
Beware, Old files opened with this preference saved will crash!

Enum icon-only buttons were getting their strings set,
then truncated with blenders string shortening methods, then not drawn
because there was no room (since buttons are icon width).
Modify UI code so icon-only buttons don't get names and passing "" to a
button won't have its text set later on.
Note this commit only makes search menus wider and adds shortening to their strings.
Adding tooltips here is not trivial, would need much bigger changes...

This mitigates T38505, where moving the mouse while using the wheel/keys
can exit the submenu.
So at least smaller unintentional movements won't be misinterpreted.
