Replace use of bpy.ops.wm.append with the Python equivalent.
This avoids a separate append call for every group.
Also refactor lookups so node-group names only need to be declared once,
then used to populate a named-tuple.
The default nodes were still present in the node tree when Setup
Tracking Scene operator was called.
The issue was that the operator assumed the default tree always has the
same number and types of nodes, which wasn't true anymore after the
default node tree was changed in df6e65dd93
This PR keeps the changes to a minimum by updating the assumption
about the default node tree.

Python 3.14 has moved some functionality into the public API,
use the updated names even with older Python versions.
Also resolve an error caused by variable reuse with delayed annotation
evaluation for TextureProperties_MixIn on startup.

This changes the engine identifier back to `BLENDER_EEVEE`.
We keep the `BLENDER_EEVEE_NEXT` identifier around for
versioning reasons (have to detect when it is the active
engine of a older file).
This also rename a bunch of pannels that were using `next`
in their name.
This is a breaking change for Addons compatibility.

Prior to this commit, the `object.subdivision_set` would prevent
actually applying a subdivision to a multires modifier when the relative
option was set. This is commonly accessed via Alt-1 / Alt-2 or D / Shift
D in Sculpt mode.
However, when the multires modifier did not already exist, pressing
these keybinds would still create the modifier and further subdivide the
mesh.
To fix this, this commit adds a hidden property to the operator:
`ensure_modifier` to indicate if the keybind should create the modifier
or not.

This is part of the short term roadmap goal of simplifying the
compositor workflow
(see https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/134214).
The problem is that many users don't know how to get started with
compositing in Blender, even when they have used Blender for other
areas, e.g. modeling.
Note: although the solution makes compositor node trees reusable
accross blend files, this is a nice side effect and not the main goal
of the PR.
This PR implements a "New" button that creates a new compositing node
tree, and manages trees as IDs. This has following advantages:
- Consistent with other node editors and other parts of Blender,
therefore making it easier to getting started with compositing if users
are familiar with shading or geometry nodes
- Give users the ability to reuse the compositing node tree by linking
or appending it.
Note: The parameter "Use Nodes" is still present in this PR, but will
be removed (in a backward compatible way) in a follow up PR.

Only the collection clearing was removed, adding an item
and assigning values to it was kept - breaking the preset.
Detect collections and removed all lines which add & manipulate items.
Based on the fix from !139309 with fewer changes.
Also include FBX operators when cleaning up presets.

Presets would write a property multiple times in the case both the class
and it's parent defined a property.
While not a bug, it looks like an error. Only write values once.
For linked grease pencil data, layer operators are accessible right
now. Grey out them in UI by adjusting poll functions. Also disabled
the individual layer row of tree-view.`

e.g. stands for "exempli gratia" in Latin which means "for example".
The best way to make sure it makes sense when writing is to just expand
it to "for example". In these cases where the text was "for e.g.", that
leaves us with "for for example" which makes no sense. This commit fixes
all 110 cases, mostly just just replacing the words with "for example",
but also restructuring the text a bit more in a few cases, mostly by
moving "e.g." to the beginning of a list in parentheses.

Previously, one had to search for the name of an input node (Geometry, Light
Path, etc.) instead of for the actual desired values.
This patch makes it possible to search for the output names of various input
nodes directly. All other outputs of the input node are hidden automatically.
This was partially support for the Scene Time before.
Supported nodes:
* Compositor: Scene Time
* Geometry Nodes: Camera Info, Mouse Position, Scene Time, Viewport Transform
* Shader Nodes: Camera Data, Curves Info, Geometry, Volume Info, Light Path,
Object Info, Particle Info
Right now, the output names are hardcoded in the menu. We don't have a great way
to access those without an actual node instance currently. For that we'll need
to make the node declarations available in Python, which is a good project but
out of scope for this this feature. It also does not seem too bad to have more
explicit control over what's shown in the search.

The Smoke Surface Emission is the height of the smoke from the mesh surface.
It is measured in Domain Grid Units, and if the grid unit is relatively big
(compared to the mesh), the smoke emission is huge.
To fix that the Surface Emission was decreased from 1.5 to 1.0. As a result
it is possible to emit smaller smokes (width 2, previously 3).
Further decreasing default value of Surface Emission is not recommended,
as in some cases (too small mesh compared to Grid Unit) will result not
emitted smoke.
Fix#132613: Issue with large smoke domain and small emitter

The modifier input value for menu items is an int property, which is not
compatible with the enum property used in node group socket definitions for
menus. Wrapping a node group with a menu will try to assign the int value from
the modifier directly to the enum, which expects a string identifier.
To aquire the matching string identifier, use the UI properties in the modifier
RNA, which contain the complete enum item definition.

There are two implementations:
- "Link to Viewer Node"
-- when clicking on a socket directly, link from that socket [done by
first selecting and then taking that selection state into account]
-- otherwise cycles through available sockets
- "Connect to Output" [python operator, made core from Node Wrangler]
-- does not take socket selection into account
-- only cycles through available sockets
So goal is to replicate behavior of "Link to Viewer Node" in "Connect to
Output" in terms of "which socket to link from"
This is done by
- exposing a sockets select state to python
- tweaking the call to bpy.ops.node.select so it does socket selection
as well
- take that selection into account

The main way to create a new node group right now is to select some nodes and
then press ctrl+G. This works well for the common case when one already has some
nodes to group. However, there is no good alternative currently for when one
wants to create a new group from scratch. A common workaround currently is to
add some dummy node, then press ctrl+G and then to delete the dummy node in the
group again. Obviously, we can do better than that.
This patch adds a `New Group` entry in the menu. It's available in geometry,
compositing and shading Nodes. The operator adds a new node group called
"NodeGroup" (the same default name we use for ctrl+G currently). Then it adds a
new group node and assigns the new group to it. The group itself does not have
any inputs or outputs by default because any such socket would just be a guess
that's likely wrong and more annoying than useful.
A nice side benefit of adding this operator is that the Group menu is not empty
in shading and compositing nodes initially which always looked a bit off.

This adds inital Grease Pencil support for node tools.
Node tools work in `Object Mode`, `Edit Mode`,`Sculpt Mode`,
and `Draw Mode`.
While Grease Pencil has many editing tools, including editing
multiple frames at the same time, for now, node tools only
allow editing the current frame.
Currently, the idea is that node tools can do arbitrary changes
to the drawings, but cannot do changes to the existing layer tree, e.g.
changing the order of layers, removing a layer or groups, etc.
All the node tool specific nodes like `Selection` and `Set Selection`
are adapted to work with Grease Pencil. In `Draw Mode`, we currently
interpret everything as selected.
The `Active Element` node has a `Layer` mode that provides the
index of the active layer (if there is one).
When `Auto-Key` is used, a new keyframe is created on the
current frame.
Locked/invisible layers cannot be edited with node tools.

When creating a new action slot for a data-block, via the '+ New' button
of the slot selector, use the name of the slot that was last used by
that data-block. Previously, it would always use the name of the
data-block, interfering with slot auto-selection when toggling between
Actions.

I'm not sure when this stopped working. The function in question is
quite confusing since it's called twice with two different purposes.
Fixing the exception is simple though. Just checking the data type
for "None" prevents changing the data type to one that's invalid given
the context. I didn't find a simple way to add an error message though.

Ref: #132179
Renames:
- `Editing.act_seq` -> `Editing.act_strip`
- `SequenceModifierData` -> `StripModifierData`
- Its member `mask_sequence` is now `mask_strip`.
- `MetaStack.parseq` -> `MetaStack.parent_strip`
- Remaining function names/parameters that were not dealt with in #132748
- Various references to `seq` or `sequence` throughout code and docs when
referring to a strip
Also moves `_get` to the end of the renamed function names where
applicable for standardization (unless "by" or "from" are used).
There should be no changes to current behavior.

The "Make Panel Toggle" operator does not check if active item is an input socket,
leading to a situation where it can be called on Boolean output sockets.
Doing this creates weird behavior where the panel and associated
operators believe it has a toggle, but is not reflected in the UI drawing.
Other weird behaviors include being able to rearrange output sockets
and apply the operator again to another output socket.
This patch adds a check in the operator's poll function to prevent it
from being called on output sockets.

The "new/duplicate" button in the Action Slot selector did not actually
duplicate, and always acted as a "new" button.
This introduces the RNA function `ActionSlot.duplicate()`, which takes
care of duplicating all the animation data associated with the slot as
well. The semantics of this function should remain valid in the
future, when Actions support multiple layers & strips. Note that this
new function does not assign the slot, it just duplicates it and its
data. The assignment of this duplicated slot is done in Python,
through the already-existing API for this.

This implements bundles and closures which are described in more detail in this
blog post: https://code.blender.org/2024/11/geometry-nodes-workshop-october-2024/
tl;dr:
* Bundles are containers that allow storing multiple socket values in a single
value. Each value in the bundle is identified by a name. Bundles can be
nested.
* Closures are functions that are created with the Closure Zone and can be
evaluated with the Evaluate Closure node.
To use the patch, the `Bundle and Closure Nodes` experimental feature has to be
enabled. This is necessary, because these features are not fully done yet and
still need iterations to improve the workflow before they can be officially
released. These iterations are easier to do in `main` than in a separate branch
though. That's because this patch is quite large and somewhat prone to merge
conflicts. Also other work we want to do, depends on this.
This adds the following new nodes:
* Combine Bundle: can pack multiple values into one.
* Separate Bundle: extracts values from a bundle.
* Closure Zone: outputs a closure zone for use in the `Evaluate Closure` node.
* Evaluate Closure: evaluates the passed in closure.
Things that will be added soon after this lands:
* Fields in bundles and closures. The way this is done changes with #134811, so
I rather implement this once both are in `main`.
* UI features for keeping sockets in sync (right now there are warnings only).
One bigger issue is the limited support for lazyness. For example, all inputs of
a Combine Bundle node will be evaluated, even if they are not all needed. The
same is true for all captured values of a closure. This is a deeper limitation
that needs to be resolved at some point. This will likely be done after an
initial version of this patch is done.
