As discussed in #128066, we want that activating a brush makes sure the
most appropriate tool is activated. For example activating an eraser
brush should activate an eraser tool, if available. This makes the
tool and brush binding two ways, which is more clear. Plus it means that
users don't have to care about tools at all if they don't want to, they
can just keep switching brushes and Blender takes care of the tool.
Implementation wise, this works by letting a Python operator lookup a
tool for a given brush type name, when activating a brush.

BaseException was used as a catch-all in situations where it
didn't make sense and where "Exception" is more appropriate
based on Python's documentation & error checking tools,
`pylint` warns `broad-exception-caught` for e.g.
BaseException includes SystemExit, KeyboardInterrupt & GeneratorExit,
so unless the intention is to catch calls to `sys.exit(..)`,
breaking a out of a loop using Ctrl-C or generator-exit,
then it shouldn't be used.
Even then, it's preferable to catch those exceptions explicitly.
Do not allow renaming liboverride IDs from batch-rename either.
Users who really want to rename liboverrides should use python/RNA API
instead, this should not be exposed to standard UI tools (as renaming
liboverride IDs can lead to quite some confusing setups).
- Move sys_info into an internal module to avoid having so many
top level modules for Blender's internal functionality.
- Rename system_info sub-modules that pre-fill URL's for clarity.
- Move top-level exception handling into the operator.
- Report an error if an unexpected exception occurs.
- Use `Exception` instead of `BaseException` as there is no reason to
catch the additional exceptions.
- Remove use of sys_info from the command line example,
replace with in-lined system info.
This commit adds a python script that can collect some of the
information necessary to fill out a bug report.
The primary use case is to help users collect system information for
a bug report in the case that Blender can't open.
CMD and sh files are included to help users use the Python script.

Previously when renaming an IDProperty the existing paths in the
animation/driver system isn't updated, this leads to missing animation
after renaming the property. Now `BKE_animdata_fix_paths_rename_all`
will be called so the animation system records the updated name.

- Operator descriptions use tip_() since they will be displayed in
tooltips.
- Extension messages:
- Split "(Add-on|Theme) \"{:s}\" already installed!" into two
messages.
- Use rpt_() to translate error messages.
- Restore core add-on name and description translation.
- Use DATA_ to translate paint material slot name, so that translation
happens only if the user enabled it for user-created data.
- Node Wrangler contains functions used to build operators' poll
methods. This change allows them to be properly translated by using
str.format() instead of f-strings, and explicit extraction with
tip_().

Extract
- Cycles denoiser enum.
- Extensions user preferences UI.
- Node operator poll message from new node function.
Improve
- Split "(Enabled|Disabled) on startup, overriding the preference."
into two messages.
Disambiguate
- "Add" when describing the action of adding something should use the
Operator context.
- "Dimensions", in noise textures.
- "Transform" as a noun, the matrix transform type of Geometry Nodes,
as opposed to the verb to move things in space.
- "Parent" as a noun or verb (the parent of an object, to parent an
object to another).

These messages are part of enum items not directly used by their
EnumProperty, because they are returned by a function. They cannot be
accessed in RNA at all times, and need to be extracted manually.
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.

No functional changes.
- Remove unnecessary variable declarations.
- Declare wm & prefs at the function beginning
to prevent noisy patches in case they're used elsewhere in the future.
- Correct invalid comment.
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.

When passing strings to str.format(..) use `{:s}` format specifier
which only takes strings and wont run `.__str__()` on non-strings.
While `{!s}` is an equivalent to `%s`, for the most part `%s` was
used for strings, so using `{:s}` is clearer and more specific.
Part of modernizing scripts in Blender, where the previous convention
was to use percentage formatting which has become the "old" way to
format strings in Python.
See proposal for details #120453.

Extract:
- Operators' poll messages, including Python-defined ones.
- Use default translation context for the region toggle pie menu.
- Newly created F-Curve modifiers.
- Newly created video tracker track.
- Grease Pencil UV area status message
- Status messages in the graph slider operators.
- Status message "Text <text.py>" when opening .blend with
auto-executing Python file.
Disambiguate:
- Track: can mean NLA track, video tracking, a tracking marker, or
a track constraint.
- Tracking: can mean video tracking, or a track constraint.

- "can not" -> "cannot" in many places (ambiguous, also see
Writing Style guide).
- "Bezier" -> "Bézier": proper spelling of the eponym.
- Tool keymaps: make "Uv" all caps.
- "FFMPEG" -> "FFmpeg" (official spelling)
- Use MULTIPLICATION SIGN U+00D7 instead of MULTIPLICATION X U+2715.
- "LClick" -> "LMB", "RClick" -> "RMB": this convention is used
everywhere else.
- "Save rendered the image..." -> "Save the rendered image...": typo.
- "Preserve Current retiming": title case for property.
- Bend status message: punctuation.
- "... class used to define the panel" -> "header": copy-paste error.
- "... class used to define the menu" -> "asset": copy-paste error.
- "Lights user to display objects..." -> "Lights used...": typo.
- "-setaudio require one argument" -> "requires": typo.

The previous commit introduced a new `RPT_()` macro to translate
strings which are not tooltips or regular interface elements, but
longer reports or statuses.
This commit uses the new macro to translate many strings all over the
UI.
Most of it is a simple replace from `TIP_()` or `IFACE_()` to
`RPT_()`, but there are some additional changes:
- A few translations inside `BKE_report()` are removed altogether
because they are already handled by the translation system.
- Messages inside `UI_but_disable()` are no longer translated
manually, but they are handled by a new regex in the translation
system.

When the subtype of a custom property is set programmatically to
something that isn't in the subtype enum of this operator, attempting
to edit it will throw an error. This check should avoid that, by simply
not setting the subtype if it's not in the enum, resulting in a default
subtype of NONE. This is the second attempt at #112582, which I broke
when messing with branches.
