This commit fully refactors the way linked IDs are made local when
appended.
Previously, `BKE_library_make_local` was (ab)used for this task, but it
was missing some contextual data and doing complex processing to try to
work around this, with limited sucess. Further more, it was nearly
impossibe to extend (e.g. to get new append behaviors necessary for the
asset project).
The new code is a dedicated append step in WM linking process.
NOTE: BPY API (`libray.load()` context manager) uses its own code here,
which still relies on `BKE_library_make_local` for appending.
Unfortunately, merging those two different code paths is not trivial so
for now this API will remain unchanged.
Fix T55629: Append already linked Data is impossible.
Changing active side was introduced in {rB7ff6bfd1e0af} but was never
working for tools/operators other than the sculpt line mask tool.
While for most tools/operators this actually does not make sense, the
bisect tool/operator can actually benefit from it.

This was implemented in {rB14d56b4217f8} but was never working for
tools/operators other than the sculpt line mask tool.
To be precise, the preview actually snapped but the operations (e.g.
mesh bisect, vertex weight gradient) still happened "unsnapped" in
modal. For the sculpt line mask tool this wasnt a problem, because it
only draws a preview while modal, the actual mask was only applied
later.
This solves part one of T91320 (snapping), sculpting also introduced
flipping in {rB7ff6bfd1e0af} which does not make much sense for all
tools, but in bisect this could actually be supported, will add that in
a separate Diff.

Addresses T76082.
Since the DirectX backend does not work for AMD gpus
(wglDXRegisterObjectNV() fails to register the shared OpenGL-DirectX
render buffer, displaying a pink screen to the user), the original
solution was to use SteamVR's OpenGL backend, which, as tested
recently, seems to work without any issues on AMD hardware.
However, the SteamVR OpenGL backend (on Windows) was disabled in
fe492d922d6d since it resulted in crashes with NVIDIA gpus (and still
crashes, as tested recently), so SteamVR would always use the
AMD-incompatible DirectX backend (on Windows).
This patch restores use of the SteamVR OpenGL backend for non-NVIDIA
(AMD, etc.) gpus while maintaining the DirectX workaround for NVIDIA
gpus. In this way, issues are still resolved on the NVIDIA side but
AMD users can once again use the SteamVR runtime, which may be their
only viable option of using Blender in VR.

Caused by {rB3e4d720ae483}.
Before above commit, this had a different path handling and
RNA_path_from_ID_to_struct() was always used [which kind of took care of
this]. Now this is only used if ptr represents an ID itself, so we are
"loosing" part of the path.
This patch adds the path back on the member_id in
wm_context_member_from_ptr() for everthing related to space_data, so
WM_context_path_resolve_property_full() can construct a full path even
for these.

Use context members instead of not working well or failing due to:
- Missing "path" functions (in the case of edit-bones).
- Paths containing names (in the case of sequence-strips or pose-bones).
While technically correct it's not useful for shortcuts or
menu items to lookup data by name.
Only append RNA_path_from_ID_to_struct to context attributes if those
paths resolve to ID types.
Also simplify creating RNA paths by adding utility functions:
- WM_context_path_resolve_property_full
- WM_context_path_resolve_full
Part of fix for T90723.
This reverts 151eed752b. Originally thought it was necessary to
initialize selected/active indices to -1 to prevent out-of-bounds
list access, but this is not needed since null checks are already
performed after obtaining list members via BLI_findlink().
In addition, leaving indices zero-initialized facilitates use of the
Python API, for example when displaying action map information in a
UI list.
Add null check for runtime data since it could already have been
freed via wm_xr_exit() (called on file read) prior to the session
exit callback.
Also, fix potential memory leak by freeing session data in
wm_xr_runtime_data_free() instead of session exit callback.
This fixes two memory leaks related to XR action maps.
1. Freeing of action maps needs to be moved from wm_xr_exit() to
wm_xr_runtime_data_free() since the runtime may have already been
freed when calling wm_xr_exit().
2. Action bindings for action map items were not being freed. This
was mistakenly left out of e844e9e8f3 since the patch needed to be
updated after d3d4be1db3.
Compressing blendfiles can help save a lot of disk space, but the slowdown
while loading and saving is a major annoyance.
Currently Blender uses Zlib (aka gzip aka Deflate) for compression, but there
are now several more modern algorithms that outperform it in every way.
In this patch, I decided for Zstandard aka Zstd for several reasons:
- It is widely supported, both in other programs and libraries as well as in
general-purpose compression utilities on Unix
- It is extremely flexible - spanning several orders of magnitude of
compression speeds depending on the level setting.
- It is pretty much on the Pareto frontier for all of its configurations
(meaning that no other algorithm is both faster and more efficient).
One downside of course is that older versions of Blender will not be able to
read these files, but one can always just re-save them without compression or
decompress the file manually with an external tool.
The implementation here saves additional metadata into the compressed file in
order to allow for efficient seeking when loading. This is standard-compliant
and will be ignored by other tools that support Zstd.
If the metadata is not present (e.g. because you manually compressed a .blend
file with another tool), Blender will fall back to sequential reading.
Saving is multithreaded to improve performance. Loading is currently not
multithreaded since it's not easy to predict the access patterns of the
loading code when seeking is supported.
In the future, we might want to look into making this more predictable or
disabling seeking for the main .blend file, which would then allow for
multiple background threads that decompress data ahead of time.
The compression level was chosen to get sizes comparable to previous versions
at much higher speeds. In the future, this could be exposed as an option.

This addresses reduced visibility of scenes (as displayed in the VR
headset) that can result from the 8-bit color depth format currently
used for XR swapchain images.
By switching to a swapchain format with higher color depth (RGB10_A2,
RGBA16, RGBA16F) for supported runtimes, visibility in VR should be
noticeably improved.
However, current limitations are lack of support for these higher
color depth formats by some XR runtimes, especially for OpenGL.
Also important to note that GPU_offscreen_create() now explicitly
takes in the texture format (eGPUTextureFormat) instead of a
"high_bitdepth" boolean.

in this case.
Add asserts to ensure no Python reference is held in situations
when ID's are copied for internal use (not exposed through the RNA API),
to ensure these kinds of leaks don't go by unnoticed again.
Although the relevant structs (wmXrRuntime/XrActionMap/

Provides two key improvements to runtime controller data.
1. Separates controller poses into two components, "grip" and "aim",
which are both required to accurately represent the controllers
without manual offsets.
Following their OpenXR definitions, the grip pose represents the
user's hand when holding the controller, and the aim pose represents
the controller's aiming source.
2. Runtime controller data is now stored as a dynamic array instead
of a fixed array. This makes the API/functionality more adaptable to
different systems.

Provides several important improvements to the runtime action

Moves input-specific action data (input thresholds, input regions,
pose offsets/spaces) from actions to more granular action bindings.
This allows a single action to be mapped to a variety of inputs,
without having to share a single input threshold, region, or space.
Also removes the need for action space creation API, as spaces for
pose actions will be automatically created with the bindings.
The correct action data for the current inputs is set by calling
xrGetCurrentInteractionProfile() to get the current profile and then
retrieving the corresponding mapped data.
