Over the last couple years (!) UI buttons have moved to derived classes,
meaning we don't need to use the same "a1" and "a2" variables to store
different information. At this point, that information is set specifically
by internal UI code, or functions like `UI_but_*_set`.
These values are only set to their default 0 values now (or -1 in some
non-meaningful cases). This commit removes the values from buttons
and removes the remaining a1 and a2 arguments from the UI API.
Explicitly use `std::abs()` instead of `abs()`, so that it returns
`float` when its argument is `float`.
Clang was warning: using integer absolute value function 'abs' when
argument is of floating point type.
Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.

This introduces asset shelves as a new standard UI element for accessing
assets. Based on the current context (like the active mode and/or tool), they
can provide assets for specific workflows/tasks. As such they are more limited
in functionality than the asset browser, but a lot more efficient for certain
tasks.
The asset shelf is developed as part of the brush assets project (see #101895),
but is also meant to replace the current pose library UI.
Support for asset shelves can quite easily be added to different editor types,
the following commit will add support for the 3D View. If an editor type
supports asset shelves, add-ons can chose to register an asset shelf type for
an editor with just a few lines of Python.
It should be possible to entirely remove `UILayout.asset_view_template()` once
asset shelves are non-experimental.
Some changes are to be expected still, see #107881.

Pull Request: #104831
The `on_activate()` function is expected to do undo pushes, call
operators, send notifiers and things like that as needed. Context is
necessary for such things, so seems reasonable to provide it as
argument.
Also needed for #110378.
Much of this was duplicated between grid view and tree view items which
keeping them in sync was becoming a hassle already. Now the logic is
shared via the base class. I find this makes the interfaces easier to
scan through visually as well.
Had to add a virtual iterator function that can be called on an
`AbstractView`.
The `on_activate()` function of an item should only be called when the
item was activated through the view, not through an external data change
(e.g. changing an active item through Python). That is important because
`on_activate()` is expected to do things like sending an undo push. This
is now respected in tree and grid views.
No user visible changes expected.
Previously the calculations to skip building the layout for invisible
items used the scrolling offsets quite a bit. These values are managed
in code elsewhere, better to minimize such dependencies. Plus we can
rely less on floating point values, making code more simple & reliable.
As an important optimization, grid views skip items that are not in
view, and instead add empty space to the layout still has the right
dimensions (for scrolling). Calculations were off though, leading to the
last row being dropped when it had too few items to fill it completely.
No user visible changes expected, these are just the internal API preparations.
Modifies the Drop API for views so that tree-views can choose to insert items
before, after and into other items.
Note: While there is support for drag-tooltips that can explain how an item
will be inserted, there is no drawing yet like in the Outliner, that indicates
if an item is inserted before, after or into. There is some work on that but
that can be done separately.
Changes:
- Removes `AbstractViewDropTarget` that was shared between tree- and
grid-views, and adds `AbstractTreeViewDropTarget` and
`AbstractGridViewDropTarget`. The tree-view needs specialized handling now,
and although they could share some code still, it's not worth having another
level of inheritance.
- Modifies the drop-target API to use `DragInfo` which contains more info about
the dragging operation than just the `wmDrag`.
- Adds `determine_drop_location()` to the `DropTargetInterface` which drop
targets can use to determine when dropping means inserting before, after or
into.
- Store the block and region in the view. This is needed unfortunately but
shouldn't be an issue since the tree view is recreated on redraws, together
with the block.
- Various smaller tweaks and additions to views as needed.
TODO (outside scope of this change): Increase row height so there is no gap
between tree view items, but keep things visually the same otherwise. This
reduces flickering while dragging.

No user visible changes expected.
Adds an assert to check that only one item returns true in its
`should_be_active()` method. This can help find some errors.
No user visible changes expected.
In some cases you'd want a view in which no, or not all items can be
activated. Needed for #104831, but makes sense as a general feature for
UI view items.
No user visible changes expected.
Needed for the asset shelf (#102879).
Adds a UI operator triggered on Ctrl+F that will attempt to start
filtering for the hovered UI view, typically enabling a filter text
button.
View items can implement their own filter method, there's no default
one. Maybe we should add default or re-usable string filtering method
though.
Filtering is applied after constructing the view and filtered out (as
in, invisible) items are kept in storage, so that their state
(selection, active, etc.) is preserved. The filtered state is cached in
the item, so this is only done once per redraw.
A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:
https://reuse.software/faq/
No user visible changes expected (since grid-views are only used in
branches right now).
This just makes grid view UIs feel more "stable" while scaling areas,
since things don't move around as much anymore. The tradeoff is that
there may be some empty space on the right, if there's not enough space
for a full column. This is how the file browser already behaves, and can
be mitigated by a smaller preview size.
The highlighting of preview tiles would be too strong in asset view
templates and grid views (only used in branches so far). This is because
two buttons are overlayed on top of each other, and both would
highlight. Ensure the overlayed preview tile button doesn't use any
highlighting.
For example
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver()
{
}
```
becomes
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver() {}
```
Saves quite some vertical space, which is especially handy for
constructors.

The Cycles light linking branch is using the tree view UI but it seemed
to use the "wrong" layout. It wasn't clear that the layout has to be
reactivated before building the view.
Make it harder to use the API wrong now by requiring the layout as
argument, so the building can ensure it's active.
No user-visible changes expected.
Essentially, this makes it possible to use C++ types like `std::function`
inside `uiBut`. This has plenty of benefits, for example this should help
significantly reducing unsafe `void *` use (since a `std::function` can hold
arbitrary data while preserving types).
----
I wanted to use a non-trivially-constructible C++ type (`std::function`) inside
`uiBut`. But this would mean we can't use `MEM_cnew()` like allocation anymore.
Rather than writing worse code, allow non-trivial construction for `uiBut`.
Member-initializing all members is annoying since there are so many, but rather
safe than sorry. As we use more C++ types (e.g. convert callbacks to use
`std::function`), this should become less since they initialize properly on
default construction.
Also use proper C++ inheritance for `uiBut` subtypes, the old way to allocate
based on size isn't working anymore.
