This fails to differentiate between active buttons and disabled buttons
for some custom themes (and also in blender light theme)
Instead use text color with 0.5 alpha value for disabled item's text.
(Don't blend between text and inner color)

Part of #107742.
There used to be a small margin between items since the layout feels a
bit crammed otherwise. But this meant the mouse could be between items,
with no item highlighted or reacting to interactions. This was
especially annoying when dragging over items for drag and drop: in
between items dropping wasn't possible, and the drag-tooltip would
disappear, causing notable flickering during motions over the tree view.
The view item is now slightly enlarged to keep a look that is not too
crammed, and still remove the space between items. Item highlights are
still drawn with a smaller height (matching the normal widget height),
since anything else looked odd to me.
This now feels quite consistent with similar UIs (e.g. File Browser list
view or the Outliner), even though we give the items a bit more space.
Padding buttons are supposed to be invisible but were drawn like
regular menu items.
For the most part it doesn't make a difference, since most themes
use transparent menu items anyway.
But e.g. the "White" theme is using opaque menu items, which
would causes the padding button to overlap at the corner when
the roundness of the menu background is very high.

- rna_Event_unicode_length would return -1 if utf8_buf wasn't a valid
unicode sequence, while this shouldn't happen, assert and return zero
instead of returning a bad length.
- Move comment on wmEvent::utf8_buf null termination to a doc-string.
There were enough cases of callers ignoring a potential the error value,
using the column width for e.g. to calculate pixel sizes, or the size in
bytes to calculate buffer offsets.
Since text fields & labels can include characters that return an error
from BLI_str_utf8_as_unicode, add the suffix to make this explicit.
Allow transparency in both text and background color, to allow blending
the selected color with whatever is underneath. Making theming more
flexible, especially since the same property is used in different backgrounds.
Note: this doesn't affect the default themes since all of them have the alpha
component in inner at `1.0`.

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.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
Some code attempted to use `BIFIconID` instead of `int` to pass around
icon-ids. Problem is, that this is just a subset of the allowed ids,
more icons may be created at runtime and extend the range of valid
icon-ids. Such icons could give runtime warning prints.
Idea is to use a `using BIFIconID = int;` instead. This way there is
still a descriptive type name, while the whole dynamic range of possible
icon-ids is supported.
Additionally multiple `using BIFIconID = int;` declarations are valid,
so we can place these in multiple headers and use the type name in APIs
instead of just `int`, whithout having to include a single header
defining them. A type mismatch (one instance differs from the others)
will result in a compiler error.

Using ClangBuildAnalyzer on the whole Blender build, it was pointing
out that BLI_math.h is the heaviest "header hub" (i.e. non tiny file
that is included a lot).
However, there's very little (actually zero) source files in Blender
that need "all the math" (base, colors, vectors, matrices,
quaternions, intersection, interpolation, statistics, solvers and
time). A common use case is source files needing just vectors, or
just vectors & matrices, or just colors etc. Actually, 181 files
were including the whole math thing without needing it at all.
This change removes BLI_math.h completely, and instead in all the
places that need it, includes BLI_math_vector.h or BLI_math_color.h
and so on.
Change from that:
- BLI_math_color.h was included 1399 times -> now 408 (took 114.0sec
to parse -> now 36.3sec)
- BLI_simd.h 1403 -> 418 (109.7sec -> 34.9sec).
Full rebuild of Blender (Apple M1, Xcode, RelWithDebInfo) is not
affected much (342sec -> 334sec). Most of benefit would be when
someone's changing BLI_simd.h or BLI_math_color.h or similar files,
that now there's 3x fewer files result in a recompile.

No user visible changes expected, except of new experimental feature
option.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

Text of preview-tile widgets would change color while pressing the mouse
button on them, this wasn't useful and just made the UI feel glitchy.
The widget background already indicates the state well.
Preview-tile widgets are currently only used in the asset view template.
More usages will be introduced in the asset-shelf patch (#104831).
No user visible changes expected, the new button state is not used yet.
Setting a new uiBut drawflag shows items in an indeterminate state, not
indicating a specific value or state.

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/
The text under previews would be quite close to the preview, so that
there was more space below it than above. Center it vertically in the
available space now. Also, the horizontal padding was only applied to
the right side of the text rectangle, meaning horizontally centered text
would be too far left. Apply the padding equally, this doesn't affect
available space for the text too much.
See #108018 for before/after pictures.

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.
The goal is to solve confusion of the "All rights reserved" for licensing
code under an open-source license.
The phrase "All rights reserved" comes from a historical convention that
required this phrase for the copyright protection to apply. This convention
is no longer relevant.
However, even though the phrase has no meaning in establishing the copyright
it has not lost meaning in terms of licensing.
This change makes it so code under the Blender Foundation copyright does
not use "all rights reserved". This is also how the GPL license itself
states how to apply it to the source code:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software ...
This change does not change copyright notice in cases when the copyright
is dual (BF and an author), or just an author of the code. It also does
mot change copyright which is inherited from NaN Holding BV as it needs
some further investigation about what is the proper way to handle it.
Add mouse hover highlighting for items in UILists, in both list mode
and preview tile mode.

Documented all functions, adding use case and side effects.
Also replace the use of shortened argument name by more meaningful ones.
Renamed `GPU_batch_instbuf_add_ex` and `GPU_batch_vertbuf_add_ex` to remove
the `ex` suffix as they are the main version used (removed the few usage
of the other version).
Renamed `GPU_batch_draw_instanced` to `GPU_batch_draw_instance_range` and
make it consistent with `GPU_batch_draw_range`.
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.
