1 - Add an option to open up the fund.blender.org website at the end of
the install process.
2 - Use blender launcher to register blender in order to prevent a black
dialog box flashing onto the screen.
3- Since registering blender can take a bit, add a progress text during
registration
4- during installation on windows 10+ the installer displayed
`Copying new files File: [1], Directory: [9], Size [6]` fixed to just display
`Copying new files`

See blender/blender-assets!15 for the actual asset file change.
As part of the brush asset project, various weight paint brushes had
their falloff curve changed. This had the unintended effect of changing
the behavior of the gradient tool, as it shares the currently active
brush's settings.
This behavior is unintuitive and not well documented, as an interim fix,
the bundled assets were reverted.

This PR changes the default theme color for TH_FACE_FRONT, used by the
Face Orientation overlay, to have zero alpha. That way, by default, it
can be used always and not interfere with the display of (normal) front
faces.

Previously, logs from Windows bug-reporting scripts would include
a minimal level of messages from Blender itself due to the usage
of the default log level.
With this change, a new Cycles associated bug-reporting script
is now added with logging set to the maximum level, so all
debug details from the Blender application will be available
in the generated log file, which users can attach to bug reports.

Implementation in #124333 had versioning code in `versioning_userdef.cc`
to make sure that updated configs would also have connected strips by default,
but forgot to change `userdef_default.c`.

Earlier in the brush assets project, for mesh sculpting, grease pencil,
and curves sculpting, the toolbar brush icon used was changed to a
version with a green highlight. This commit reverts that change to use
the monochrome grey icon instead in each of these modes.
For Sculpt mode specifically, the Paint tool icon is kept as this green
version to differentiate the usages. In future releases, further changes
are planned for sculpting related brushes to better represent their
functionality.

This generates a `license.md` file with all the relevant information about
the different libraries and their respecive licenses.
This should replace: THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt
Important files:
* `make_license.py` (main script called by `make license`.
* `licenses.json` (file to add the definition of new licenses).
* `licenses/*/*.txt` (individual license files.
The `license.md` groups the libraries per license, list their
corresponding copyright information and include the complete license.
Code includes contributions from:
* Campbell Barton (multi-line parser for versions.cmake).
* Thomas Dinges (Windows support for `make license`).

Earlier merge from the release branch included dcfe9eed2f, which set the
hash to latest commit in the release branch. Here we want it to be the
latest commit in the main branch.
This allows the files to be re-used between x64 and amd64 builds
for Windows.
This adds 500 kilobyte of files, but they almost never change, they
are required for releases anyway, and having them in the repo solves
all sort of synchronization problems.
A new graphics is now used, as it was long requested by the UI and
release/PR team.

Since brush assets were merged, all sculpt and paint modes have a unified
"Brush" tool that is used for all brushes. Based on feedback, this mixes brush
types a bit too much, so some specific tools that use brushes should be brought
back. These brush types just behave very different from the main brush types,
and users expect them to be easily accessible from the toolbar. This also makes
them more discoverable and having tools that remember their last used brush can
be useful too (e.g. assigning shortcut to eraser tool to switch back to last
used eraser, rather than a specific eraser brush).
Note that further changes are planned, to get a true "best of both worlds"
design, where people can use a global brush library without having to worry
about tools, but brushes can also be accessed via tool categorization.
The new design works well with both mental models without being a compromise
in-between.
a79f9100a6 already brought back some tool for grease pencil draw mode, with this
commit the design is now applied to all sculpt & paint modes.
See PR for a list of tools that were brought back.

Customizable highlighting of editor edges that can be used to help
differentiate between areas, indicate active area, and/or help users
with visual impairment. Can be completely removed as well. This
replaces the active area header highlighting, which doesn't work for
transparent headers.
