With 9d0907560a, button tooltips would now often display the label even though
it's already visible in the button itself.
This fix brings back the old logic for displaying the label, but it's still
possible to override the label via the callback introduced in the earlier
commit.
Comments are updated/added here to make the behavior more clear.

This adds an optional uiBut callback that allows creating a tooltip
line-by-line with specified style and color in any order. It also
allows adding images as well to create very informative tooltips.

Changes the `asset_poll()` and `draw_context_menu()` methods for asset
shelves to use the `AssetRepresentation` type, instead of `AssetHandle`.
The latter should be removed, so it's better to avoid using it in the
asset shelf BPY to avoid future compatibility breakage. This is possible
now with d421ebac5e.
See #101778
Remove the requirement of restarting Blender to refresh the
extended 3D view menus for node group changes. Also avoid
rebuilding the tree of relevant assets and catalogs on every
redraw, since parsing asset libraries, etc. could become more
expensive than we want. Those two goals combined mean we
have to be more rigorous in how we invalidate the cached
catalog tree.
The first main change required is to clear the tree as asset libraries
are being read, similar to other dynamic asset menus. This is done
with a 3D view header listener rather than a menu listener in this case.
However, that isn't enough, because there is an issue with the asset
system where the "all" library isn't updated when the current file library
changes. The solution is to explicitly rebuild the "all" library's catalogs
when other asset libraries are changed.
The other necessity for dynamic updates is clearing the catalog tree
to be rebuilt when the node group "asset traits" are changed. This is
done with a new notifier type (with the goal of being a bit selective
about when we re-read assets). This _also_ requires running the
"presave" callback that builds asset metadata when updating the
property. Otherwise saving the file and sending the notifier is
necessary, which is too confusing.

In the add modifier menu, 3D viewport menus for node tools, and the node
editor add menu, assets not in catalogs are added to an "No Catalog"
menu rather than not being accessible at all.
This makes the default behavior when adding a node tool "not broken"
so at least something happens by default. The question of "How do I
add a catalog?" is much better than "Why didn't anything happen?"

No functional changes.
While looking at the Dope Sheet drawing code to see if it
can be made faster I came across a bunch of functions with confusing names.
This PR tries to address that by:
* removing the `ED_` prefix from static functions
* adding it to non static functions
* renaming `AnimKeylistDrawListElem` to `ChannelListElement`
* renaming `AnimKeylistDrawList` to `ChannelDrawList`
* all `draw_..._channel` renamed to `ED_add_..._channel`
since the function itself doesn't actually do any drawing
* generally simplifying the function names

The previous limit of 63 bytes for the panel name was an issue for
languages where characters use multiple bytes. The UI would show panel
names truncated that had reasonably long/short names.
It's easy to support dynamically sized strings here, so do that instead
of using fixed size buffers.
Fixes#111927.

Implementation of the duplicate and move operator for grease pencil frames.
The `ACTION_OT_duplicate` operator now creates duplicates of the selected frames and stores them in the layer runtime data.
The `TRANSFORM_OT_transform` operator is updated to take care of these duplicated frames.

After Renaming "Bake Curve" to "Samples to Keys" in #111049,
the name of the `GRAPH_OT_sample` operator needed renaming.
That is because the word "sample" is now used to describe FCurve
data in an uneditable state.
Rename to `GRAPH_OT_bake_keys` since baking is the term
used in animation to describe the action of creating dense key data.

Update of the `ACTION_OT_mirror` to take into account grease pencil
frames. Implemented modes are mirror over current frame, zero
frame, and selected marker.

Use the same method for passing assets to an operator as the newer node
group operator menus. This supports quick favorites and shortcuts for
specific assets.
Also fix a crash when a dynamic submenu is added to quick favorites.
That still doesn't work though-- the menu ends up being empty.
Update of the following operators to take into account
grease pencil frames :
* SCREEN_OT_keyframe_jump, which jumps to the average
position of the selected frames, and
* ACTION_OT_frame_jump, which jumps to the previous/next
frame in the active channel.

Scale the selected key segments to their average
Unlike just scaling using the transform tools, this scales to the average of each individual F-Curve segment.

This was needed while testing #96544, now all curve picking selects
bezier knots without handles - the option can be removed.
This is a functional change for the 2.7x keymap, however selecting
bezier points with handles isn't a useful difference to keep.
The basic idea is very simple. Whenever a supported menu is open, one can just
start typing and this opens a search that contains all the (nested) menu entries.
The main downside is that this collides with accelerator keys. Those are the
underlined characters in each menu. For now, we just enable this new searching
behavior in a few selected menus: Node Add Menu, View3D Add Menu and
Modifier Add Menu.
This new functionality can be enabled for a menu by setting
`bl_options = {'SEARCH_ON_KEY_PRESS'}` to true in the menu type.
The status bar shows `Type to search...` when a menu is opened that supports search.

Implements part of #111538.
Change the modifier add button to create a menu with submenus.
Extend the submenus dynamically with geometry node group assets.
This makes it much simpler to share and use custom modifiers.
Node groups get a new "Is Modifier" property, which is controllable
in a popover in the node editor header when the group is an asset.
The built in modifier can be rearranged in different categories in
a next step. For now the existing organization is used, except for
the geometry nodes modifier, which is called "Empty Modifier" and
put in the root menu.
The changes in !110855 and !110828 will be important to improve
interaction speed with the new UI. Those are planned for 4.0 as well.

When estimating widget sizes, ui_text_icon_width_ex() assumes that all
items are using the "widget" text style, which is incorrect for labels.
This PR uses widget_label style for uiItemL_ and the label portion of
ui_item_with_label.

The hash tables and vector blenlib headers were pulling many more
headers than they actually need, including the C base math header,
our C string API header, and the StringRef header. All of this
potentially slows down compilation and polutes autocomplete
with unrelated information.
Also remove the `ListBase` constructor for `Vector`. It wasn't used
much, and making it easy to use `ListBase` isn't worth it for the
same reasons mentioned above.
It turns out a lot of files depended on indirect includes of
`BLI_string.h` and `BLI_listbase.h`, so those are fixed here.

The algorithm that traverses UV is a bit complex and is being iterated
a lot in different areas of the code.
This commit deduplicates this code by creating a foreach UV function.
At the moment only the `uvedit_ops.cc` file uses this function but
similar cleanups can also be done on many other files that use UVs.
The usages of `ED_uvedit_minmax` and `ED_uvedit_center_from_pivot` have
probably been replaced by `ED_uvedit_minmax_multi` and
`ED_uvedit_center_from_pivot_ex` in the process to support multi-object
editing and gizmo creation respectively.
Generally the context store is owned by `uiBlock`. Other pointers
to the store (in `bContext` and other operator data) shouldn't change
it, so those variables are now const. One exception is the pointer in
`uiLayout`, but that has a clearly short lifetime, so that's okay.
This is a combination of two PRs from Ares Deveaux: #106521 and #106522
This adds a new operator that allows shearing keys
based on the position of the segment ends.
By pressing `D` while the operator is in modal you can
switch if the operator takes the left or the right segment end as a reference.

Part 3/3 of #109135, #110272
Switch to new node group interfaces and deprecate old DNA and API.
This completes support for panels in node drawing and in node group
interface declarations in particular.
The new node group interface DNA and RNA code has been added in parts
1 and 2 (#110885, #110952) but has not be enabled yet. This commit
completes the integration by
* enabling the new RNA API
* using the new API in UI
* read/write new interfaces from blend files
* add versioning for backward compatibility
* add forward-compatible writing code to reconstruct old interfaces
All places accessing node group interface declarations should now be
using the new API. A runtime cache has been added that allows simple
linear access to socket inputs and outputs even when a panel hierarchy
is used.
Old DNA has been deprecated and should only be accessed for versioning
(inputs/outputs renamed to inputs_legacy/outputs_legacy to catch
errors). Versioning code ensures both backward and forward
compatibility of existing files.
The API for old interfaces is removed. The new API is very similar but
is defined on the `ntree.interface` instead of the `ntree` directly.
Breaking change notifications and detailed instructions for migrating
will be added.
A python test has been added for the node group API functions. This
includes new functionality such as creating panels and moving items
between different levels.
This patch does not yet contain panel representations in the modifier
UI. This has been tested in a separate branch and will be added with a
later PR (#108565).

Armature layers (the 32 little dots) and bone groups are replaced with
Bone Collections:
- Bone collections are stored on the armature, and have a name that is
unique within that armature.
- An armature can have an arbitrary number of bone collections (instead
of the fixed 32 layers).
- Bones can be assigned to zero or more bone collections.
- Bone collections have a visibility setting, just like objects in scene
collections.
- When a bone is in at least one collection, and all its collections in
are hidden, the bone is hidden. In other cases (in any visible
collection, or in no collection at all), the bone visibility is
determined by its own 'hidden' flag.
- For now, bone collections cannot be nested; they are a flat list just
like bone groups were. Nestability of bone collections is intended to
be implemented in a later 4.x release.
- Since bone collections are defined on the armature, they can be used
from both pose mode and edit mode.
Versioning converts bone groups and armature layers to new bone
collections. Layers that do not contain any bones are skipped. The old
data structures remain in DNA and are unaltered, for limited forward
compatibility. That way at least a save with Blender 4.0 will not
immediately erase the bone group and armature layers and their bone
assignments.
Shortcuts:
- M/Shift+M in pose/edit mode: move to collection (M) and add to
collection (shift+M). This works similar to the M/Shift+M menus for
objects & scene collections.
- Ctrl+G in pose mode shows a port of the old 'bone groups' menu. This
is likely to be removed in the near future, as the functionality
overlaps with the M/Shift+M menus.
This is the first commit of a series; the bone collections feature will
be improved before the Blender 4.0 release. See #108941 for more info.

Using a higher number of samples (enough samples to account for the last
second or two of playback for e.g.) can be useful when comparing minor
changes in overall playback speed, where the behavior of multi-threaded
operations can make the value jitter with 8 samples (default).
Using fixed-point arithmetic means the average FPS can be updated
by subtracting the oldest FPS sample before adding the new value,
instead of having to average an array of floats every draw.
Increasing the number of samples now only uses a little more memory
(20kb at most).
The error margin from using fixed-point arithmetic is under 0.5
microseconds per frame - more than enough precision for FPS display.
A commented define is included that shows the error margin when enabled.
This was hard coded to 8, which can still result in a number that
jitters making the overall FPS difficult to measure.
The default is still 8, but this is now a preference that can be
increased for values that don't jitter as much.
The average times weren't reset so the last draw time would be used
making the FPS seem low for the first ~10 or so frames.
The averages from the last time the playback operator ran were also
used which could be misleading although this was also limited to the
first 8 frames.
Resolve by freeing the ScreenFrameRateInfo on animation start/end.
Calculating the average FPS was done in the draw function which
also overwrote the old value. With multiple viewports the same
time-delta would be written multiple times causing the FPS display
not to use use REDRAW_FRAME_AVERAGE as intended.
Resolve by only calculating the average once per frame change across
multiple viewports.
When using a slider it is possible to enter numbers for an exact value
However that input was capped between 0 and 1,
which is no longer correct since the range can be arbitrary.
Additionally it was divided by 100 because the slider
operator system assumed we'd be working with percentages.
This fixes both of these issues.
