This patch adds support for AOVs in EEVEE. AOV Outputs can be defined in the
render pass tab and used in shader materials. Both Object and World based
shaders are supported. The AOV can be previewed in the viewport using the
renderpass selector in the shading popover.
AOV names that conflict with other AOVs are automatically corrected. AOV
conflicts with render passes get a warning icon. The reason behind this is that
changing render engines/passes can change the conflict, but you might not notice
it. Changing this automatically would also make the materials incorrect, so best
to leave this to the user.
**Implementation**
The patch adds a copies the AOV structures of Cycles into Blender. The goal is
that the Cycles will use Blenders AOV defintions. In the Blender kernel
(`layer.c`) the logic of these structures are implemented.
The GLSL shader of any GPUMaterial can hold multiple outputs (the main output
and the AOV outputs) based on the renderPassUBO the right output is selected.
This selection uses an hash that encodes the AOV structure. The full AOV needed
to be encoded when actually drawing the material pass as the AOV type changes
the behavior of the AOV. This isn't known yet when the GLSL is compiled.
**Future Developments**
* The AOV definitions in the render layer panel isn't shared with Cycles.
Cycles should be migrated to use the same viewlayer aovs. During a previous
attempt this failed as the AOV validation in cycles and in Blender have
implementation differences what made it crash when an aov name was invalid.
This could be fixed by extending the external render engine API.
* Add support to Cycles to render AOVs in the 3d viewport.
* Use a drop down list for selecting AOVs in the AOV Output node.
* Give user feedback when multiple AOV output nodes with the same AOV name
exists in the same shader.
* Fix viewing single channel images in the image editor [T83314]
* Reduce viewport render time by only render needed draw passes. [T83316]

As proposed in T74432 and already implemented in several commits,
"region" is the preferred name for `ARegion` variables, rather than
any variant of "ar". This commit changes a few "ar" variables that have
popped up over time and also adjusted names of variants like "arnew".
Some RNA structs, like operators or keymaps, are not allowed to have ID
pointer properties. now this check will ignore those, and report an
error message in the console.
Related to T82597.
Notes: While a bit more involved than rBf39fbb3e6046, this commit
remains fairly localized and non-intrusive.
It relies on some rather obscure and weird behaviors of our RNA code
though, a cleaner solution could be e.g. to add a tye to
`StructOrFunctionRNA`, so that we could properly 'rebuild' (re-cast) the
pointer to either `StructRNA` or `FunctionRNA` when needed in internal
code...
Coalescing on macOS overwrites a singular unprocessed mouse event. To
receive all mouse and tablet events coalescing is disabled.
Disabling coalescing for macOS disables coalescing for trackpad
gestures. Repeat trackpad events are unnecessary and found to
negatively impact performance thus are re-coalesced in Window Manager.

The issues was that Blender was trying to refresh the
splash screen region. However, opening the file browser
closed the splash screen and freed the region.
The fix is to simply not refresh the region.
Has been approved in T81817.
Image format code checked the file type against an enum except for
zero which is used when the format can't be detected.
Also add doc-strings to some of the image file type callbacks.
And remove Blender preference, which was expected to be set to match the system
preference for correct behavior. Instead just handle this automatically.

Note that the place where this is called has been moved again, after all

`WM_operator_properties_filesel()` allows C operators to set a display or sort
type for the File Browser to use. But the File Browser would always override
that because of an invalid `_is_set()` check. (The operators don't actually set
the value, they only set the property's default value.)
The only operator affected by this is "Recover Auto Save". It is supposed to
show a vertical list ordered chronologically. It used settings from the
previous File Browser usage before this patch.
Operators using the File Browser should generally use
`FILE_DEFAULTDISPLAY`/`FILE_SORT_DEFAULT` now, except if they have a reason not
to. See comments at their definition.
----
This makes it so operators that set a different display or sort type
don't change the sort or display type for the next File Browser operation.
So using "Recover Auto Save" entirely isolates display and sort type from other
operations.

I think there wasn't actually any issue currently, but only by luck. We still
passed around and NULL-checked a pointer to freed memory (the file operator,
`SpaceFile.op`) which is easy to break and should be avoided.
Noticed while testing D8598.
This adds support for treating multiple undo steps as a single step
from the user perspective.
This is needed for outliner mode switching and `object.switch_object`
operator which change active object and mode in a single action.
Various changes to some labels and descriptions to be more accurate, clear, or less confusing.

Line gesture use always the right side of the line as active (the area
of the mesh that is going to be modified) by default.
This adds the ability to change the active side when the line gesture is
active by pressing the F key.
This allows more freedom to position the line after starting the
gestures, as it won't be required to cancel the operation or undo if the
line was used in the wrong direction.

17cb2a6da0 missed a break statement after a nested switch,
while it didn't cause a bug nesting switch doesn't read well
and is prone to errors like this.
Split modal-keymap checks into their own branch to avoid this happening,
also use matching event checks for all gesture operators.
This adds support for snapping for line gesture tool. It is implemented
in the modal keymap as Snap, which is a toggle (similar to how snapping
in the transform operator works).
Right now it snaps the angle of the line to 15 degree increments, which
is defined in code. This should be easy to expose in the UI in the future
if we need to.
