For modifier shortcuts we added a "custom_data" field to panels.
This commit uses the same system for accessing the list data that
corresponds to each panel. This way the context is only used once
and the modifier for each panel can be accessed more easily later.
This ends up being mostly a cleanup commit with a few small changes
in interface_panel.c. The large changes in the UI functions are due
to the fact that the panel custom data is now passed around as a
single pointer instead of being created again for every panel.
The list_index variable in Panel.runtime is removed as it's now
unnecessary.

This can be useful to save the result of a cloth simulation as a
shape key without destroying the simulation, so it's possible to
e.g. re-run it to get other shapes, or simply use the new shape
key to start the simulation already in a draped state.
It also makes sense to allow applying as shape key even when the
mesh is shared, because the operation itself just adds a shape
key. To support this, split the apply operator into Apply and
Apply As Shapekey so that they can have different poll callbacks.

Instead of manually checking the pinned object, use the existing
ED_object_active_context function. This requires adding const
to the context in that function.
The shortcuts act on the modifier with its panel under the mouse.
The following shortcuts are enabled by default:
- Remove modifier: X, Delete
- Apply modifier: Ctrl A
- Duplicate modifier: Shift D
More shortcuts can be added in the keymap.
Each panel can now store a custom data RNA pointer, and a new
function is added to get the custom data for the panel under the
cursor. This custom data could be used to refactor the "List Panel
System" to generalize it and integrate it further with RNA.
The same functionality will be added in further commits where it
applies to constraints, grease pencil modifiers, and effects.

This makes a few changes to the modifier panel header:
1. Adds "move to top" and "move to bottom" buttons.
2. Adds a checkmark icon for "apply"
3. Makes it narrower, the text is closer to the dropdown icon.
(Requires the change in ui_block_func_POPUP)

This includes a few improvments:
1. Always expose delete. This is the button everyone wants the most,
it makes a lot of sense to expose this.
2. Improve "name hiding capability." Basically always align the mode
buttons to the right, and count their number to see if the name fits.
3. Aligns more items, to look better, save space, and make the whole
header seem more grouped.
4. In my tests the "switch contexts" button never coincides with the
delete button, so they share the same space.

Also, remove manually placed decorator for vertex groups in modifiers. This was
only needed because of this bug, and the layout was slightly misaligned.
This patch implements the list panel system D7490 for modifiers.
It also moves modifier drawing to a callback in ModifierTypeInfo
in line with the extensible architecture refactoring goal T75724.
This adds a PanelRegister callback and utilities for registering
panels and subpanels. It also adds the callbacks for expansion saving
and drag and drop reordering described in D7490.
These utilities, callbacks, and other common UI elements shared
between modifiers live in MOD_ui_common.c.
Because modifier buttons are now in panels, we can make use of
subpanels for organization. The UI layouts also use the single
column layout style consistently used elsewhere in Blender.
Additionally, the mode-setting buttons are aligned and ordered
consistently with the outliner.
However, the large number of UI changes in this patch may mean
that additional polishing is required in master.
Thanks to William Reynish (@billreynish) who did a fair amount of the
layout work and to Julian Eisel (@Severin) for consistent help.
