Provide common implementations for two operations that all Python
FileHandlers will typically use.
- `poll_file_object_drop` To be used inside the FileHandler `poll_drop`
callback
- `invoke_popup` To be used inside the Operator `invoke` callback
The above code closely mirrors what is currently done inside the
existing Blender c++ FileHandlers.

Removal of confirmation dialogs for the following five operators. For
each of these the UI module felt that they are all either very explicit
actions and/or are easily undone.
* ARMATURE_OT_separate (Move selected bones to a separate armature)
* CURVE_OT_separate - “Move selected points to a new object”
* OBJECT_OT_vertex_parent_set (Parent selected ob to selected vertices)
* OBJECT_OT_parent_no_inverse_set (Make Parent w/o inverse correction)
* FILE_OT_directory_new - (Create New Directory)

This PR adds the *Line Hide* tool and the corresponding
`PAINT_OT_hide_show_line_gesture` operator to Sculpt Mode.
*Line Hide* supports common modal functionality including:
* Snapping to angles
* Flipping the selection area
* Moving selection area
Addresses one of the tools in #80390

This PR implements the background blurring for studiolight/lookdev HDRIs.
The visual appearance matches EEVEE-Classic closely.
**Technical details**
- LOD0 is skipped as the regular background color can be used. The
regular background color is blended towards LOD1.
- Volume probe is mixed in to remove baked in artifacts in the higher LODs.

Annotation layer widget was missing on the Tool Settings bar and the
side bar for some of the editors, as well as both color and layer
widgets on the Tool tab of the Properties editor.
Also fixed the Tool Settings bar not updating when drawing annotations
on the Image editor viewport, and the Tool panel in Properties editor
not updating when drawing annotations on the 3D scene.

Addresses two improvements to `Snap to Grid` as suggested in #73993:
- Make 'Absolute Grid Snapping' a new Snap Mode
- Snap to Grid in Non-Side View performed at ground level
Implementation details:
- Snap to Grid has no cursor symbol, unless we are in `Set Snap Base`
mode. Similar to the previous 'Absolute Grid Snap' behavior.
- In Non-Side view, Snap to Grid is performed at ground level.
- If `Snap Base` is `Closest`, Snap to Grid uses the transform pivot
point instead. Similar to the previous 'Absolute Grid Snap' behavior.
- The "Absolute Grid Snap" option has been removed.

Changes to recent commit [0].
- Replace poll_message_set with report in the execute function.
- Remove f-string use which violates string formatting convention.
- Remove unnecessary string to bool.

Add a new "Save" to the Themes list in Preferences to save (overwrite)
custom themes. The operator has a poll function to disable for built-in
themes. Shows a confirmation when overwriting.

Use File Handlers to handle file drag-n-drop in the View 3d. Drop-boxes
still remain since they handle Texture ID drag-n-drop.
This will add-ons to handle drag-n-drop for images and movies while
still providing access to Blender's native support since File Handlers
let users choose which to invoke if there's multiple configured.

This PR introduces the ability for users to switch between boolean
solvers while using the sculpt *Trim* tools (*Box Trim* & *Lasso Trim*)
much like the mesh boolean modifier and geometry node. Because the
*Exact* solver has performance issues with larger meshes, the *Fast*
solver is set to be the default.
In my very rough timing tests on my laptop on a mesh with **1.7m**
vertices, a *Trim* operation with the *Fast* solver finishes in roughly
20 seconds as opposed to still being in progress after five minutes
with the *Exact* solver.

This adds a new exprimental option to automatically convert GP legacy
data to GPv3 one.
It supports also linking and appending cases. Conversion also happens
when opening a file linking GP legacy data saved by an older .blendfile.

a958ae36e8 introduced support for UI lists to reference items that would
never be shown, regardless of filter settings. This was to skip assets
in the asset view template that were not of the requested type. UI list
sorting code wasn't updated to account for such items that should be
entirely ignored.

Replace: `{BLENDER_RESOURCE_PATH_USER}/extensions`
With: `{BLENDER_USER_EXTENSIONS}`
This follows BLENDER_USER_CONFIG & BLENDER_USER_SCRIPTS conventions.
Reading the environment variable and accessible via
`bpy.utils.user_resource('SCRIPTS')`
This was only used on WIN32 when the temporary directory didn't exist.
When the check was added [0] this made some sense because it relied on
`U.tempdir` existing, since then additional checks have been added to
ensure a temporary directory can be used. Further, this fall-back
location isn't documented in the user manual.

The Volume input of the world didn't show up inside the property panel.
Reason was that the panel didn't have EEVEE-Next inside its list of compatible
engines.

When loading an add-on without a __file__ set the "cause" was empty.
Now the modules __path__ is included (when available) which points
to the path that failed to load to help with troubleshooting.
Although this error isn't specific to extensions, extensions containing
a blender_manifest.toml but no __init__.py would import a module
with the __file__ set to None.
While there is logic to handle this case, it didn't account for modules
already in sys.modules with __file__ set to None.
From a user perspective enabling the extension silently failed raising
an error on the second attempt to enable.
Smooth transparent shadows by jittering their opacity threshold every
sample.
Always enabled on final renders, optionally enabled in the viewport with
`scene.eevee.shadow_jittered_transparency`.

Allow the user to scale shadow-map resolution per-light.
Adapt the PCF scale based on shadow-map to pixel footprint ratio,
since we can no longer assume that higher LODs don't need filtering.
This allows using much lower shadow resolutions, which can yield
quite significant performance improvements, with relatively little
perceptual quality loss (at the cost of softening shadow edges).
The per-light resolution scale is a literal scale, so for example 0.5
means half the resolution. The Scene Simplify Shadows setting has
been updated to match this behavior.
