Support the USD `color4f` (and related) types during import and use this
type when writing out Blender's color attributes.
This roundtrips Blender data correctly and will properly load data from
many more USD files as well.

The Translate node leaves empty pixels at the boundary of the image.
This caused by incorrect clipping when sampling the pixels. To fix this,
we adjust COM_MemoryBuffer::read to read using Extend or Repeat using
BLI interpolation, then multiply that by a clipping rectangle. The
read_elem_sampled function is now defined in terms of the read method.
This also coincidentally fixes off by half a pixel error in nearest
neighbour interpolation.
As well as takes text color transparency into account. That is, text
"shadow" now virtually casts shadow of however the text itself + outline
looks like. The result is blurred, and extra shadow color tint and
transparency is applied.
Performance testing: seems to be slightly faster than before in my tests.
Probably because the shadow "image" that is now blurred only contains
one byte per pixel (the transparency), instead of full uchar4 per pixel
(with only the "transparency" being blurred).
I have extended sequencer render tests to better cover various text
outline/shadow/box combinations.

Add an Action Slot selector to the Action editor's header, next to the
Action selector. The selector shows all slots in the action that are
suitable for animating objects (as the Action editor itself is limited
to showing the Action of the active object).
This also considerably simplifies the 'Animation Debug' panel, as some
debugging code has been removed, as well as the display of any animation
layers. The latter can be reintroduced (if necessary) when multi-layer
animation support is added. Most importantly, it removes the
WindowManager property that was used as a hack to assign layered Actions
to objects.
API change: the RNA property `AnimData.slot` is now a pointer property
that reflects the actual slot (it used to be an enum property).
Some small changes to the UI code were necessary to make the selector
show the slot's display name (and not their internal name).

The GPU compositor transforms are off by half a pixel in some cases.
That's because the realization shader was to perform transforms, and it
includes logic to move images by half a pixel if the domain and image
had different even/odd sizes. To fix this, we only move by half a pixel
if we are doing realization, while transforms are left as is.
This is only visible when text color has transparency or is fully
transparent. Desired behavior is that the outline would only be
"outside" the actual text.

These functions can now be called on layered Actions:
- `action.fcurves.new(data_path, array_index)`
- `action.fcurves.find(data_path, array_index)`
- `action.fcurves.remove(fcurve)`
- `action.fcurves.clear()`
These will operate on the first keyframe strip (searching layers bottom
to top), and then its channelbag for the first slot.
If necessary, `fcurves.new()` will create the layer, keyframe strip,
channelbag, and slot.
This backward compatibility layer only kicks in if either of these is
true:
- The Action is empty AND the experimental flag is enabled, or
- The Action already has a layer or a slot (i.e. is already considered
'layered').
If none of these conditions hold, `action.fcurves` just gives access to
the legacy data.

The Rotate node was off by 0.5 pixels because pixels were not evaluated
at their center. Furthermore, the center of rotation was also off by
half a pixel. To fix this, we ensure rotation happen around the exact
center as well as rotate the pixels at their center.
The compositor translate node produces artifacts when its fractional
part is 0.5. That's because GPUs do round-to-even for nearest neighbour
sampling in case samples were at pixel boundaries.
To fix this, we bias translations by a small value to break the
rounding and ensure predictable rounding direction.
Add F-Curve management functions on ChannelBags
(`channelbag.fcurves.xxx`) that are very similar to the legacy Action
functions `Action.fcurves.xxx`.
```python
channelbag = strip.channelbags.new(slot)
fcurve = channelbag.fcurves.new("rotation_quaternion", index=1)
assert channelbag.fcurves[0] == fcurve
channelbag.fcurves.remove(fcurve)
channelbag.fcurves.clear()
```

This commit changes the keying code to deselect keyframes when inserting new keys.
This has been discussed in the Animation & Rigging module meeting [1].
There is also an RCS post about that [2].
Doing this brings key creation in line with object creation,
where only the newly created object is selected.
There has been a previous attempt [3] to do a similar thing.
### Changes
When inserting keys by pressing `I` in the viewport or choosing a keying set,
all keys of the `Action` get deselected before inserting new keys.
New keys are selected by default.
Python RNA functions are **NOT** affected, meaning addons using
those functions will not deselect any keys by default.
The developer has to choose to do so.
To make that easier, there is a new RNA function on the action
`deselect_keys`

RNA API for creating & removing channelbags, as well as a path function
to construct RNA paths for channelbags.
```python

slot = action.slots.new()
slot.name = 'OBTest'
layer = action.layers.new(name="Layer")
strip = layer.strips.new(type='KEYFRAME')
# New in this commit:
channelbag = strip.channelbags.new(slot)
strip.channelbags.remove(channelbag)

Add a option to ignore Cycles render test black list, controlled via
BLENDER_TEST_IGNORE_BLOCKLIST environment variable.
Useful for testing to see if anything is seriously broken in a test
that's black listed. (E.g. See if some particle rendering tests are
seriously broken on the GPU)
It would be recommened that this be used to test GPU compiler updates.
Or the enablement of certain features like custom curve rendering on
custom BVH.

This change restores the old behavior of pass name detection from
channel name prior to the offending commit.
The fix includes regression test based on the files from related
reports, to help catching possible issues in the future.
Being so close to the release this commit restored behavior prior
to the previous fix. Potentially this makes some files to detect
wrong pass name for some specific files, although it is not really
clear if such files exists in the wild.

Increase fail threshold for tests with platform
dependent noise.
Blacklist `principled_thinfilm_transmission` as
the IOR is very small and isn't packed to the GBuffer
with the same precision on every platform.
added tests:
- tinted glass with multiggx
- smooth glossy ggx with MIS enabled on light
- overlapping volume and vdb
- light linking on volume
modified tests:
- enabled MIS on light in thinfilm tests

Rename "Animation data-block" to "Action" or "Layered Action", where
appropriate. Some uses of the term actually refer to the `AnimData`
struct, in which case they were left as-is.
No real functional changes, just changing some messages & descriptions.

Rename 'Binding' to 'Slot'. The old term was causing all kind of
confusion, and 'slot' was considered to be a better term for the
intended functionality.
This commit breaks existing blend files that were using the new layered
Action for their animation. The animation data will be lost due to the
rename, as there is no versioning code or DNA renaming logic. At this
time the new system is still marked as experimental, so shouldn't be
used for anything serious anyway.

Old python STL exporter, as well as other exporters like OBJ,
reverse the face order when object being exported has odd number
of negative scales in the matrix. The C++ STL exporter was lacking
that, resulting in the exported object looking "inside out".
The extra branch inside triangle export inner loop has no measurable
performance impact, probably because it is entirely predictable.

Previously add-ons were sorted by category & name, remove the category
only sorting by name since the category is no longer displayed and
isn't part of extension meta-data. Now the add-ons are sorted by name
(case insensitive).
Details:
- Store add-ons modules sorted to avoid having to sort on every redraw.
- addon_utils.modules() now returns an iterator.
As an initial step to creating automated regression tests for sculpt brushes,
make our existing performance test script into an automated performance
test. The test uses the brush active in each file and runs the brush stroke
operator on a large generated grid. The time is just for the brush evaluation,
it doesn't include building the PBVH, drawing, etc.
I'm not sure about the consequences of conditionally disabling
`view3d_operator_needs_opengl`, but it was needed to make the test
work in background mode.
