Support blocking extensions so there is a way for the maintainers of
the remote repository to notify the user if one of their installed
extensions blocked along with a reason for blocking.
Blocked extensions cannot be installed from the preferences or by
dropping a URL.
When an installed & blocked extension is found:
- An icon int the status bar shows an alert,
clicking on the icon shows the blocked extensions.
- The extensions preferences show a warning.
- The extensions & add-ons UI shows an alert icon
and "details" section shows the reason.
Details:
- Blocked & installed extensions are shown first in the installed
extensions panel.
- The internal "install" logic prevents downloading & installing
blocked extensions.
- Blocked extensions can still be downloaded & installed from disk.
- The "list" command includes an error message if any installed
extensions are blocked.
- The "server-generate" command can optionally take a configuration
file that includes the blocklist for the generated JSON.
See design #124954.
Core extensions should have their bugs reported as any other issue in
Blender.
This PR removes their "Rrport a Bug" link.
I left the link only for glTF since it has its own tracker. But I
wouldn't mind removing it as well.
Ref: !125218
When dropping an extension from extensions.blender.org which is
still in the review queue - an error was shown making it seem like
the extension was not compatible with the system.
Adjust wording to clarify that it was not found in the remote repo
which can be caused by it not being part of the repository or when
it's incompatible.
Resolves#125046.
When "bl_info" was on the first line, the legacy add-on would not
install. Correct the check which would also incorrectly detect legacy
add-ons when "bl_info" wasn't found at all.
Regression in [0] caused extensions checks used the same directory & URL
for all remote repositories when checking for updates on startup.

When the user attempted to install a previously enabled add-on as an
extension after enabling online access and *without* viewing extensions,
installation would fail.
Resolve by adding a check that the remote repository data is available,
adding a button to refresh remote repositories if it's not.
The logic to handle disabling, upgrading & re-enabling extensions
incorrectly assumed all installed add-ons were enabled.
Resolve by only using this logic on installed & enabled add-ons.
When Blender started with an extension enabled from a repository that
referenced a directory that didn't exist - creating the directory
and extensions would fail to import the extension.
This happened because the missing state of the module was cached.
Resolve by clearing Python's path cache for the repository after
running install actions which may have created the directory.
Also run importlib.invalidate_caches() when manually refreshing local
extensions to ensure modules cached as missing can be imported if
they have become available.
As each extension has it's own package, any modules it includes must be
imported as sub-modules. Warn if extensions are including themselves
in the sys.path as this breaks name-spacing of extensions.
Show these warnings in the add-on & extensions UI.
When the repository is owned by another Blender session,
support removing the file-system lock.
This is accessible from a menu in the repository popover.
This is needed if Blender exits unexpectedly while a repository
is being modified (typically install/upgrade).
Addresses #122135.
While this wasn't likely to cause any problems in practice,
using the sub-command "build --split-platform" with a platform
containing any characters that need escaping would have produced a TOML
with invalid syntax.
Add a utility function that's guaranteed to create a valid TOML string.
Uses the OpenXR extension XR_FB_PASSTHROUGH_EXTENSION_NAME,
compatible mainly with the Meta Quest family of devices.
Currently, passthrough support over OpenXR is disabled by default
in the Quest Link app, and must be manually enabled in its settings
to use this feature.
The performance of the passthrough render varies with the quality
of the connection between the headset and the PC. For better results,
connecting the headset directly through USB to the PC, or at least
connecting the PC to the local network over ethernet, is recommended.
Thanks a lot to [KISKA](https://kiska.com/)
for their support in the development of this feature.

Various minimal grammar changes in the new Extensions system. For
example changing "Please turn Online Access on the System settings" to
"Please turn Online Access on in the System settings"
