Removes unused GPv2 functions in blenkernel.
Notes:
- Functions for layer masks are still in use, but annotations never
have layer masks in the first place. Would be good to remove the data
structures so we can remove the functions too.
- Some multi-frame edit functions are also still nominally used, but
multi-frame editing is not an active feature for annotations. This
should also be removed.

Implements scrolling support for tree-views, as well as changing the size of the
scroll-able tree-view. This is important to be able to place them in many places
in the UI, where a compact layout is preferred over an every expanding one
(causing following contents to be scrolled out of view). UI-lists would use
scrolling and resizing to ensure this, now tree-views are on par.
Enables scrolling and resizing for:
- Bone collection UI (`UILayout.template_bone_collection_tree()`)
- Grease Pencil layer UI (`UILayout.template_grease_pencil_layer_tree()`)
- Light link collection UI (`UILayout.template_light_linking_collection()`)
- UI to define a node tree interface (`UILayout.template_node_tree_interface()`)
These are all cases where compact UIs make more sense than expanding ones.
Internally this is enabled by calling the `set_default_rows()` method of the
tree-view, although the API might change still. It shouldn't be quite simple to
implement this for grid-views too if necessary, or other potential view types.
Although I'd like to do some smaller code quality improvements still, this
feature is important for some other modules (e.g. grease pencil module for the
layers UI in grease pencil v3), so I decided to prioritize merging this.

This adds an eyedropper button to properties where you can choose a bone.
Clicking it activates the modal operation and you can pick:
* Bones from the Outliner
* Bones from the 3D Viewport if the Armature is in Pose Mode or Edit Mode
## Limitation
Picking from the 3D viewport while in Object Mode doesn't work due to technical reasons.
The selection buffer is only filled with pose bones if the armature is in pose mode.
Using the picker while in object mode gives you the Armature object, not its bones.
So you cannot use the bone picker to constrain an object to a bone.
UNLESS you pin the panel with the object, go to pose mode and then pick.
There is a warning printed for those cases to tell the user why this hasn't worked.

Use snake style naming for all the kernel nodes functions.
Omit kernel prefix in the names since of the using namespace.
Use full forms of the terms
('iter' -> 'iterator', 'ntree' -> 'node_tree', 'rem' -> 'remove', ...).

This adds the Eyedropper tool to GPv3.
A few changes have been made:
- Added `Brush` mode.
- Set active color in palette.
- Show the palette in the UI.
- Add UI for setting material mode.
- Drag for color accumulation.

Previously, values for `ID.flag` and `ID.tag` used the prefixes `LIB_` and
`LIB_TAG` respectively. This was somewhat confusing because it's not really
related to libraries in general. This patch changes the prefix to `ID_FLAG_` and
`ID_TAG_`. This makes it more obvious what they correspond to, simplifying code.

This commit moves generated `RNA_blender.h`, `RNA_prototype.h` and
`RNA_blender_cpp.h` headers to become C++ header files.
It also removes the now useless `RNA_EXTERN_C` defines, and just
directly use the `extern` keyword. We do not need anymore `extern "C"`
declarations here.

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.

Move all header file into namespace.
Unnecessary namespaces was removed from implementations file.
Part of forward declarations in header was moved in the top part
of file just to do not have a lot of separate namespaces.

This allows the user to copy the driver(s) of a property to other selected items (e.g. objects, nodes, etc.) via the right-click menu. The implementation is based on the "Copy to Selected" operator, and generally behaves the same except for copying drivers instead of values.
Resolves#120518
Move the public functions from the editors/object (`ED_object.hh`)
header to the `blender::ed::object` namespace, and move all of the
implementation files to the namespace too. This provides better code
completion, makes it easier to use other C++ code, removes unnecessary
redundancy and verbosity from local uses of public functions, and more
cleanly separates different modules.
See the diff in `ED_object.hh` for the main renaming changes.

Previously retrieving a collection from the context like "selected_ids"
would give a linked list of allocated items. Now it returns a vector of
RNA pointers. Though the number of items is typically fairly small,
using contiguous memory and avoiding many small allocations are
typical performance improvements that could still be beneficial
when there are many items. Iteration also becomes much simpler.

The depsgraph CoW mechanism is a bit of a misnomer. It creates an
evaluated copy for data-blocks regardless of whether the copy will
actually be written to. The point is to have physical separation between
original and evaluated data. This is in contrast to the commonly used
performance improvement of keeping a user count and copying data
implicitly when it needs to be changed. In Blender code we call this
"implicit sharing" instead. Importantly, the dependency graph has no
idea about the _actual_ CoW behavior in Blender.
Renaming this functionality in the despgraph removes some of the
confusion that comes up when talking about this, and will hopefully
make the depsgraph less confusing to understand initially too. Wording
like "the evaluated copy" (as opposed to the original data-block) has
also become common anyway.

This significantly simplifies memory management, mostly by avoiding
the need to free the memory manually. It may also improve performance,
since std::string has an inline buffer that can prevent heap
allocations and it stores the size.

For some reason the "get" function actually allocates the button's
operator properties container. This may or may not make sense to
do, but while it happens, the function name might as well make
that clear.
`UUID` generally stands for "universally unique identifier". The session identifier that
we use is neither universally unique, nor does it follow the standard. Therefor, the term
"session uuid" is confusing and should be replaced.
In #116888 we briefly talked about a better name and ended up with "session uid".
The reason for "uid" instead of "id" is that the latter is a very overloaded term in Blender
already.
This patch changes all uses of "uuid" to "uid" where it's used in the context of a
"session uid". It's not always trivial to see whether a specific mention of "uuid" refers
to an actual uuid or something else. Therefore, I might have missed some renames.
I can't think of an automated way to differentiate the case.
BMesh also uses the term "uuid" sometimes in a the wrong context (e.g. `UUIDFaceStepItem`)
but there it also does not mean "session uid", so it's *not* changed by this patch.

Instead of a single function with variadic arguments, a special enum
type containing which string to request, and a special struct to
contain the request and the result, just use separate functions for
each request, and return a std::string by value. Also change the enum
item string access to just give access to the enum item itself and add
const in a few places as necessary.
The callers of the API function get much clearer this way, and it's
much easier to see which information is used to create certain tooltip
strings.
This was added at the start of the project, as a way for the source
library to control what would be overridable by the user of the data
(production files).
The implementation never went beyond the experimental area, and only
exposed in the python API then. The idea has been superseeded by the
'cherry-pick' design, so there is no point in keeping this code any
longer.
Problem is the `UI_context_active_but_get()` lookup doesn't respect menu
regions, unlike the earier call to `UI_context_active_but_prop_get()`
(which is also used to validate the existence of an active button).
Using `UI_context_active_but_get_respect_menu()` instead would work, but
in fact the earlier lookup returns the active button if any, we just
didn't use that.
