The "render_stats" handler now includes the message line that was
written to stdout as the first arg (using `BKE_callback_exec_string`
instead of just `BKE_callback_exec_null`).
This can be useful to track render progress (and people were relying on
parsing stdout in the past).
Was a request in chat.
This also corrects possible output from the callback being written in
between message parts in `do_write_image_or_movie` (which was probably a
mistake in 93d5e106aa).

Sometimes it is necessary to pass additional data through generic UI entities,
to specific implementations. For example to pass additional options to panel
polling & drawing when instantiating a panel through its panel type. Or storing
additional data in a button, without hardcoding it in the button struct/class.
Passing data via context is a simple solution to this, however so far this only
works using hardcoded context queries or RNA pointers. For passing arbitrary
strings we've used workarounds like creating an RNA type to wrap it already.
For example `RNA_AssetCatalogPath`, which is used to dynamically populate menu
items based on an asset catalog path, via a generic menu type.
type instantiation. This makes it possible to invoke specific asset shelves as
popover panels.
Idea is simply to let `bContextStore` entries hold copies of the string (as
`std::string`), avoiding lifetime issues. Context APIs are extended to support
setting/querying strings via a context member name.

Splash screen notification text:
- When starting in "Offline mode" with repositories with installed
packages enabled, the text is clickable unless launched with
`--offline-mode`, the tooltip notes that the command line setting
can't be changed at run-time.
- Don's show anything if there are not extensions installed.
Preferences:
- Don't show the welcome message on preferences if:
- Blender is online.
- The message was dismissed.
- There are no enabled remote repositories.
- The option to enable extensions.blender.org has been replaced with
a button that switches to the "System" tab where Online Access
can be enabled.
Also expose bpy.app.online_access_override needed for the UI to check
if online access was disabled using command line arguments.
Add a preference to "Work Offline" system preference as well as command
line options `--offline-mode` & `--online-mode`
(which overrides the preference).
This option is displayed in the initial setup screen too.
This is currently respected by:
- Check for updates on startup
- Disables running an update when enabling extensions.
When Blender is launched with `--offline-mode` the option cannot be
enabled in the preferences. This is intended for environments
where internet access is intentionally disallowed.
Background: with Blender supporting access to online-repositories
as well as 3rd party extensions themselves potentially accessing the
internet. This setting provides a way for users to disable online
functionality.
This prevents error messages when online access fails in environments
without internet access as well as the ability for users who prefer
Blender doesn't access the internet to have one place to turn this off.
While it does not enforce limitations on add-ons, 3rd party scripts
are expected to respect this setting using `bpy.app.internet_offline`.
The details for this will be handled along with other policies scripts
are expected to follow.

Move all header file into namespace.
Unnecessary namespaces was removed from implementations file.
Part of forward declarations in header was moved in the top part
of file just to do not have a lot of separate namespaces.

Handling of the blendfile handle freeing when linking data from a
blendfile requiring endianness conversion was totally broken, leading
to double-freeing attempts.
Guess that the fact that this was never reported shows how rare
'big-endian' blendfiles are nowadays... But we still have a few in our
test repo.
Regression in [0]. PyPreConfig.use_environment was internalized to 0
but PyConfig.use_environment wasn't.
Thanks to @unwave for finding the root cause.

Add _bpy._wm_capabilities(), needed for preferences code to check if
WM functionality is supported. This could be made into a public
function, see code comments for details.
Since upgrading to Python 3.11, errors (other than syntax errors)
no longer jumped to the location of the error as they used to.
This was caused by the line number being unset, relying on the
attribute access to return the actual value.
Resolve by using attribute access when the struct member can't be used.
The insert key function in `animrig/keyframing.cc` took a `ReportList`
argument which it used to print messages in case of failures.
Instead this now returns a `CombinedKeyingResult` and the caller is
responsible for creating reports out of that.
To make that simpler the `ID` argument has been changed from a pointer to a reference.
The calling functions now make sure that it's not a `nullptr`.
This has the effect that there will be less messages printed in the Info panel when e.g. inserting keys with a keyingset.
This still doesn't make an error message pop up though.

Add an optional keyword argument `keytype` to the
`rna_struct.keyframe_insert()` function.
This makes it possible to set the new key's type. The code for this was
almost all in place, the only thing that was missing was the RNA
wrapper, which is what this commit adds.
Example: `bpy.context.object.keyframe_insert("location",
keytype='JITTER')`
There is no backward compatibility issue here, because the argument is
optional and defaults to the previously hardcoded value of `KEYFRAME`.

While valid, this isn't so common and cppcheck warns about this,
use explicit casts to suppress the warning, also correct "true"
being assigned to a float value.
Previously retrieving a collection from the context like "selected_ids"
would give a linked list of allocated items. Now it returns a vector of
RNA pointers. Though the number of items is typically fairly small,
using contiguous memory and avoiding many small allocations are
typical performance improvements that could still be beneficial
when there are many items. Iteration also becomes much simpler.

No functional changes intended.
The `insert_keyframe` function had a `bAction` argument that could be
a `nullptr`. If it was a `nullptr` it would be queried from the `ID`.
However in all cases where it is passed it is also gotten from the `ID`, making
the argument redundant.
This PR removes the argument to simplify the function.

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.

Even though there is a dialog users must accept when removing a
repository & directory being removed is shown, it's possible users
assume this only removes files which are part of the repository after
pointing the custom-directory to their home directory or similar.
Removing repositories which point to a custom-directory now only
remove packages and server meta-data to prevent accidents.
Resolves#119481.
Bring back the `INSERTKEY_XYZ_TO_RGB` enum item for the
`keyframe_insert()` function (it was removed in 30b0c5b225). This way
any Python code that targets Blender 4.x can safely pass this flag,
without having to check specific Blender versions.
Note that the flag is implemented as a no-op, as the behaviour change
introduced in 30b0c5b225 (just looking at the user preference) is still
retained. The purpose of this commit is simply to avoid the `ValueError`
exception that would otherwise be raised.
This should also fix Rigify report blender/blender-addons#105241.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/119625
Python's behavior changed since this feature was added causing the
object to be tracked when freed by Python's subtype_dealloc even
if Blender has not tracked the data. Detect this case and untrack
the object before freeing.
