WEBM is the codec name, and VP9 is the encoder (the older encoder "VP8"
is less efficient than VP9).
WEBM/VP9 and h.264 both have options to control the file size versus
compression time (e.g. fast but big, or slow and small, for the same
output quality). Since WEBM/VP9 only has three choices, I've chosen to
map those to 3 of the 9 possible choices of h.264:
- BEST → SLOWER
- GOOD → MEDIUM
- REALTIME → SUPERFAST
The VERYSLOW and ULTRAFAST options give very little extra benefit.

The encoding panel mentions "None" in a few places, which is confusing.
- "Codec: None" now reads "No Video"
- "Audio Codec: None" now reads "No Audio"
- "Output Quality: None; ..." now reads "Constant Bitrate"
When selecting "No Video" the remaining video encoding options are
hidden, making it even more explicit that there will not be video in the
output file.
The label "Codec" now reads "Video Codec" for symmetry with "Audio
Codec".
This is useful to create a mapping from the frame range in the video to
frame index in the blend file.

Back in the days (2.4x and before), it was rather easy to get some
invalid utf-8 strings in Blender. This is totally breaking modern code,
so this commit adds a simple 'check & fix strings' operator, available
from the main File menu.
- See `--log` help message for usage.
- Supports enabling categories.
- Color severity.
- Optionally logs to a file.
- Currently use to replace printf calls in wm module.

If no custom URL was set, add-ons would get a "Report a Bug" button opening
the default developer.blender.org bug tracker. Now we only add this default
button if the add-on is bundled and not installed by the user.
In some cases it doesn't make sense for add-ons to be listed for hiding.
Especially for import/export which use minimal UI space.
This adds `bl_info["use_owner"]` to add-ons,
currently defaulting to True for all non Import-Export add-ons.
Allows for each workspace to have it's own add-ons on display.
Filtering for: Panels, Menus, Keymaps & Manipulators.
Automatically applies to add-ons at the moment.
Access from workspace, toggled off by default
once enabled, add-ons can be white-listed.

Now that Eevee has support for offline rendering (F12) we can use it for
the Material previews.
Note: This makes the duplicated UI issue one panel worse. That happens when
Cycles if your scene engine, and Eevee is your workspace engine.
This patch adds F12 offline Freestyle rendering support to Eevee.
Most functionalities are identical with those found in Cycles.
The only major difference is that the per-view layer "use Freestyle" toggle
option is currently placed in the "Passes" panel of the "View Layers"
properties window instead of a "Layer" panel as in Cycles. Since Freestyle
is a post-processed overlay and not a pass, the present option location is
a compromise. To describe this fact, the per-layer "use Freestyle" option
is in a subsection labeled as "Layer".

This is used to determine which voxels are to be considered empty space.
Previously it was hardcoded for converting dense grids to OpenVDB grids
to reduce disk space usage.
This value is also useful for rendering engines to know, i.e. to
optimize ray marching.
Similar to the Principled BSDF, this should make it easier to set up volume
materials. Smoke and fire can be rendererd with just a single principled
volume node, the appropriate attributes will be used when available. The node
also works for simpler homogeneous volumes like water or mist.
