This patch adds support to export and import grease pencil in several formats.
Inlude:
* Export SVG
* Export PDF (always from camera view)
* Import SVG
The import and export only support solid colors and not gradients or textures.
Requires libharu and pugixml.
For importing SVG, the NanoSVG lib is used, but this does not require installation (just a .h file embedded in the project folder)

Steps to reproduce were:
* Open an Asset Browser
* "Mark Asset" on some data-block
* Change the Asset Browser into a different editor (not File Browser!)
* "Clear Asset" on the data-block again, or mark another asset
* Change back to the Asset Browser, it will show an outdated list
Now the file-browser reloads local file data after spaces were changed. Note
that the current notifier code doesn't limit the space-change notifiers to the
affected spaces, so changing any visible space will trigger this. That's an
issue to be fixed separately.
When loading a file with an asset browser open, and it showed a custom asset
library that can't be found currently (e.g. because the file is from somebody
else), the `BLI_assert(0)` in `rna_FileAssetSelectParams_asset_library_get()`
would fail.
There was code to handle this case already, but unlike I thought it didn't run
right after file read. Now it does.
Add operator `FILE_OT_view_selected` to the file browser (and thus also
to the asset browser) that scrolls selected files into view.
This includes the active file, even though it is not selected. In
certain cases the active file can loose its selected state (clicking
next to it, or refreshing the asset browser), but then it's still shown
in the right-hand sidebar. Because of this, I found it important to take
it into account when scrolling.
This also includes a change to the keymaps:
- Blender default: {key NUMPAD_PERIOD} is removed from the "reload"
operator, and assigned to the new "view selected files" operator. The
reload operator was already doubly bound, and now {key R} is the only
remaining hotkey for it.
- Industry compatible: {key F} is assigned to the new "view selected
files" operator. This is consistent with the other "view selected"
operators in other editors.

Add an RNA function `activate_asset_by_id(asset_id: ID, deferred: bool)`
to the File Browser space type, which intended to be used to activate an
asset's entry as identified by its `ID *`. Calling it changes the active
asset, but only if the given ID can actually be found.
The activation can be deferred (by passing `deferred=True`) until the
next refresh operation has finished. This is necessary when an asset has
just been added, as it will be loaded by the filebrowser in a background
job.

When dropping an asset somewhere, it is appended and then a drop operation is
called to actually add it to the scene based on current context. If this drop
operation fails, the appended data-block is now still in the .blend. The user
may not notice and not expect this.
Instead idea is to rollback any changes done by dropping code if the operation
fails, namely removing the appended data-block again.
Adds a new `cancel()` callback which is called if the drop operator returns
`OPERATOR_CANCELLED` to drop-boxes and a generic function to deal with assets
on drop failure.
Also removes the `free_id_on_error` property of the `NODE_OT_add_group`
operator, which was used as ad-hoc solution to get this same behavior.
The logic to ensure a valid region state was too aggressive in setting the
region hiding. It would just always update it based on the operator's
`hide_props_region` option, not only when file browser was newly opened.
It's more selective now.
Change `"active_id"` to `"id"` so that tab completion in the asset browser
context returns the correct properties.
055ef5df61 renamed the `active_id` property
to `id`, but `dir(thecontext)` still returned `"active_id"`.
Passing 4x arguments for the rectangle,
mixed in with round-box radius & color wasn't very readable.
Instead, pass a `rctf` as the first argument to UI box drawing functions.
The "Current File" asset library didn't get refreshed after the data-block name
changed. But rather than entirely refreshing the file list, or doing possibly
problematic partial refreshes, reference the data-block name directly, so a
simple redraw gets the new name displayed.
Addresses T83751
These functions with many arguments can be unwieldy. Aside from the obvious issues
with rewriting the list of arguments and the opportunities for error and frustration
that presents, the long list of arguments make these systems hard to change. So when
an argument should be added, someone might skip that and add some hack instead.
So, as proposed in T73586#1037210, this patch instead uses a "params" struct for
each of these callbacks.
- Use param argument for `ARegionType.listener`
- Remove unused window field in region listener
- Use param argument for `SpaceType.listener`
- Use params struct for `ARegionType.message_subscribe`

Fixes a number of glitches, e.g. the sidebar disappearing when selecting an
asset or wrong AZones (the little chevrons to indicate a hidden region).
There were a couple of issues:
* Execution region was created, but not used.
* If an execution region already existed when refreshing the area, it was
tagged as hidden, not removed.
* The sidebar was always set to be hidden on refreshes.
* When toggling from Asset Browser to File Browser as regular editor (i.e. not
opened temporary via Ctrl+O or such), the sidebar region wasn't removed.
Adresses T83644.
Partially reverts 2250b5cefe.
Removing the user count and fake user count icons was controversial (which was
expected) and there are a few further changes needed, that won't make it in
time for the release, see D9946.
While there is a design to bring back the user count and fake user indicators,
a new design idea was proposed that the UI team wants to follow. This came too
late for the 2.92 release, the new design is targeted at the 2.93 release now.
Meanwhile, UI team decision was to simply revert the design changes.
The new design is being worked on in https://developer.blender.org/T84669.
Note that this commit does not revert some internal changes done in
2250b5cefe. Namely the introduction of `ed_util_ops.c` and data-block
operators in there. These will still be needed in the new design.
The Asset Browser will be disabled and not available for the 2.92 release. In
alpha/beta builds, there will be an "Asset Browser" option under Preferences >
Experimental, if the developer extras are enabled.
Note that this also disables related UI elements (e.g. "Mark Asset" buttons,
Preferences settings for asset libraries, etc.).
The code is still in master of course, development and testing will continue
there. But there simply needs to be too much polishing and fixing before the
2.92 release, plus there are some design decisions to be reevaluated.

Approximately 138 changes in the spelling of compound words
and proper names like "Light Probe", "Shrink/Fatten", "Face Map".
In many cases, hyphens were used where they aren't correct, like
"re-fit". Other common changes include:
- "Datablock" -> "data-block"
- "Floating point" -> "floating-point"
- "Ngons" -> "n-gons"
These changes help give the language used in the interface
a consistent, more professional feel.

This seems to be a longer standing issue. Steps to reproduce were:
* With factory settings, Ctrl+O then F12
* Close the render window using the window close button
* Close the File Browser window using the window close button
This could be OS specific though, at least on macOS this caused a crash.
The previous design is rather old and has a couple of problems:
* Scalability: The current solution of adding little icon buttons next to the
data-block name field doesn't scale well. It only works if there's a small
number of operations. We need to be able to place more items there for better
data-block management. Especially with the introduction of library overrides.
* Discoverability: It's not obvious what some of the icons do. They appear and
disappear, but it's not obvious why some are available at times and others
not.
* Unclear Status: Currently their library status (linked, indirectly linked,
broken link, library override) isn't really clear.
* Unusual behavior: Some of the icon buttons allow Shift or Ctrl clicking to
invoke alternative behaviors. This is not a usual pattern in Blender.
This patch does the following changes:
* Adds a menu to the right of the name button to access all kinds of operations
(create, delete, unlink, user management, library overrides, etc).
* Make good use of the "disabled hint" for tooltips, to explain why buttons are
disabled. The UI team wants to establish this as a good practise.
* Use superimposed icons for duplicate and unlink, rather than extra buttons
(uses less space, looks less distracting and is a nice + consistent design
language).
* Remove fake user and user count button, they are available from the menu now.
* Support tooltips for superimposed icons (committed mouse hover feedback to
master already).
* Slightly increase size of the name button - it was already a bit small
before, and the move from real buttons to superimposed icons reduces usable
space for the name itself.
* More clearly differentiate between duplicate and creating a new data-block.
The latter is only available in the menu.
* Display library status icon on the left (linked, missing library, overridden,
asset)
* Disables "Make Single User" button - in review we weren't sure if there are
good use-cases for it, so better to see if we can remove it.
Note that I do expect some aspects of this design to change still. I think some
changes are problematic, but others disagreed. I will open a feedback thread on
devtalk to see what others think.

Data of the File Browser context callback needs to be validated and
return `CTX_RESULT_NO_DATA` if the context member is valid but not set
in the current context.
Otherwise it would just show empty space where the icon is supposed to
be.
Unfortunately this icon is upscaled quite a bit and doesn't look too
great. Would be good to improve but not a high priority.
If Preferences > Interface > Temporary Editors > File Browser is set to
"Maximized Area", opening a File Browser from an Asset Browser would
cause the new maximized editor to be an Asset Browser. Exiting it again
would crash.
This fixes the wrong behavior and the crash. There's still an issue with
exiting the editor again, it stays a File Browser then and doesn't go
back to being an Asset Browser. That's to be fixed separately.
Storing the asset library reference by name wasn't a good idea, I thought it
would work with a careful fallback, but it's easier to just use the index
instead. So change to using indices, make sure fallback methods work reliable
and make sure the file list is updated when asset libraries are removed.
I added a new notifier type for the latter, I prefer not using file notifiers
in asset-library/preferences code. We have more than enough values for
notifiers left.
When the Asset Browser was showing the "Current File" repository and the
sidebar was open, undoing could crash, because the context API returned freed
data.
Don't let context return anything if a refresh is pending due to data changes
like undo/redo.
This introduces the User Interface part of the Asset Browser, based on the
design in T54642.
Additions:
* New Asset Browser (internally a sub-editor of the File Browser).
* Navigation region showing asset categories.
* Main region showing the assets of the selected asset library with previews.
The assets may be stored over multiple .blends in the directory that's
"mounted" as asset library in the Preferences. They will all be shown in this
list.
* Header with an asset library dropdown, allowing to choose the active asset
library to show. Options are the "Current File" as asset library and all
custom libraries.
* Display popover, filter popover and search box (partially dummies, see
T82680).
* Sidebar showing the metadata of the currently active file (name, preview,
description and tags), which can be edited for assets in the "Current File"
asset library. (For others it will reset on reload.)
* The sidebar includes a button to load a custom preview image from a file.
* Make asset files draggable (with preview image).
* If a library with invalid path is selected, a message is drawn in the main
region to help the user understand what's wrong.
* Operators to add and remove asset tags. Exposed in the sidebar.
* "Only Assets" option for Link/Append.
* Internal utilities for asset UI scripts.
For screenshots or demo videos, please see D9725. Or the 2.92 release notes.
Note that there are many things to be tweaked and polished in the Asset Browser
UI still. For example, the filter and display popovers are mostly dummies. See
T82680.

The Asset Browser will be a sub-editor of the File Browser. This prepares the
File Browser code for that.
**File-Lists**
* Support loading assets with metadata read from external files into the
file-list.
* New main based file-list type, for the "Current File" asset library.
* Refresh file-list when switching between browse modes or asset libraries.
* Support empty file-lists (asset library with no assets).
* Store file previews as icons, so scripts can reference them via icon-id. See
previous commit.
**Space Data**
* Introduce "browse mode" to differeniate between file and asset browsing.
* Add `FileAssetSelectParams` to `SpaceFile`, with `FileSelectParams` as base.
Makes sure data is separated between asset and file browsing when switching
between them. The active params can be obtained through
`ED_fileselect_get_active_params()`.
* `FileAssetSelectParams` stores the currently visible asset library ID.
* Introduce file history abstraction so file and asset browsing can keep a
separate history (previous and next directories).
**General**
* Option to only show asset data-blocks while file browsing (not exposed here).
* Add "active_file" context member, so scripts can get and display info about
the active file.
* Add "active_id" context member, so `ED_OT_lib_id_load_custom_preview` can set
a custom ID preview. (Only for "Current File" asset library)
* Expose some of `FileDirEntry` in RNA as (non-editable). That way scripts can
obtain name, preview icon and asset-data.

When opening a temporary File Browser, we have to make sure the file selection
parameters are refreshed. When opening it in a new Window that would always be
the case, if the File Browser uses a maximized window (as set in the
Preferences), it might reuse space-data from a previous use. So we have to
force the refresh.
Also renamed the relevant function to be more clear about what it's doing.
