Sybren A. Stüvel dbcb701eb2 Anim: make it easier to convert from legacy to current Action API
The changes:

1. Add `group_name` to the `channelbag.fcurves.new()` and
   `action.fcurve_ensure_for_datablock()` RNA functions.
2. Add `anim_utils.action_ensure_channelbag_for_slot(action, slot)`.
3. Add `channelbag.fcurves.ensure()` RNA function.

This makes it possible to replace this legacy code:

```py
fcurve = action.fcurves.new("location", index=2, action_group="Name")
```

with this code:

```py
channelbag = action_ensure_channelbag_for_slot(action, action_slot)
fcurve = channelbag.fcurves.new("location", index=2, group_name="Name")
```

or replace this legacy code:

```py
fcurve = action.fcurves.find("location", index=2, action_group="Name")
if not fcurve:
    fcurve = action.fcurves.new("location", index=2, action_group="Name")
```

with this code:

```py
channelbag = action_ensure_channelbag_for_slot(action, action_slot)
fcurve = channelbag.fcurves.ensure("location", index=2, group_name="Name")
```

Note that the parameter name is different (`action_group` became
`group_name`). This clarifies that this is the name of the group, and
not a reference to the group itself.

This is part of #146586
