This changes `UI_but_func_tooltip_set` so that it allows passing a custom free function, which has two benefits:
* The caller can pass `null` to indicate that the value should not be freed.
* Arbitrary c++ data can be passed to the callback (before the struct had to be trivially destructible).
I added `uiFreeArgFunc` and used it in other places where appropriate.

Weird 'embedded for overrides' flag of embedded IDs (including ShapeKeys
in override context) was not properly cleaned up when making an override
fully local.
Reported by studio, thanks.
@jbakker should be backported to 2.93LTS if possible.
Event though in practice this wasn't causing problems as the fixed size
buffers are generally large enough not to truncate text.
Using the result from `snprint` or `BLI_snprintf` to step over a fixed
size buffer allows for buffer overruns as the returned value is the size
needed to copy the entire string, not the number of bytes copied.
Building strings using this convention with multiple calls:
ofs += BLI_snprintf(str + ofs, str_len_max - ofs);
.. caused the size argument to become negative,
wrapping it to a large value when cast to the unsigned argument.
Reports would change the active emboss of the Block, to make some of its
buttons appear without background. But it didn't reset it so that
buttons added afterwards wouldn't use the correct embossing.
Text data block were not considered special in the recursive purge
function. So they would get deleted if they had no actual users.
To fix this we instead make text data block use "fake user" so that
addon authors can specify script files that should be removed if nothing
is using it anymore.
Per default, new text object have "fake user" set. So functionality
wise, the user has to explicitly specify that they want the text object
to be purge-able.

In some cases functions were defined with arguments of different array
lengths in headers vs. implementations. This commit fixes some of the
cases I ran into, but probably not all of them.
This patch adds domain and data type information to each row of the
attribute search menu. The data type is displayed on the right, just
like how the list is exposed for the existing point cloud and hair
attribute panels. The domain is exposed on the left like the menu
hierarchy from menu search.
For the implementation, the attribute hint information is stored as a
set instead of a multi-value map so that every item (which we need to
point to descretely in the search process) contains the necessary data
type and domain information by itself. We also need to allocate a new
struct for every button, which requires a change to allow passing a
newly allocated argument to search buttons.
Note that the search does't yet handle the case where there are two
attributes with the same name but different domains or data types in
the input geometry set. That will be handled as a separate improvement.

Data-block selectors (or other selectors using the
`UILayout.teamplate_search` or `UILayout.template_search_preview`)
in headers used a fixed size width for the name button. Often that meant
the text would be clipped to fit even though there was plenty of
whitespace surrounding the data-block selector.
Now the name button can increase in width with the contained string,
clamped to some arbitrary and quite big maximum (3 times the minimum
width).
We could further take the available space into account, to reduce the
need for scrolling in the header. But I don't think that is much of an
issue and the name clipping it would re-introduce would probably be more
annoying.
In the current implementation, cryptomatte passes are connected to the node
and elements are picked by using the eyedropper tool on a special pick channel.
This design has two disadvantages - both connecting all passes individually
and always having to switch to the picker channel are tedious.
With the new design, the user selects the RenderLayer or Image from which the
Cryptomatte layers are directly loaded (the type of pass is determined by an
enum). This allows the node to automatically detect all relevant passes.
Then, when using the eyedropper tool, the operator looks up the selected
coordinates from the picked Image, Node backdrop or Clip and reads the picked
object directly from the Renderlayer/Image, therefore allowing to pick in any
context (e.g. by clicking on the Combined pass in the Image Viewer). The
sampled color is looked up in the metadata and the actual name is stored
in the cryptomatte node. This also allows to remove a hash by just removing
the name from the matte id.
Technically there is some loss of flexibility because the Cryptomatte pass
inputs can no longer be connected to other nodes, but since any compositing
done on them is likely to break the Cryptomatte system anyways, this isn't
really a concern in practise.
In the future, this would also allow to automatically translate values to names
by looking up the value in the associated metadata of the input, or to get a
better visualization of overlapping areas in the Pick output since we could
blend colors now that the output doesn't have to contain the exact value.

The Python API for the curve mapping widget offers the `update`

Currently when you open an RNA collection search button, like a
vertex group selector, the search filter isn't applied until you
start typing, in order to display every option at the start.
Otherwise they wouldn't be visible, since the search filter would
run for the current text.
Currently this check happens in one place, but it relies on the
`changed` value of `uiBut`. This is fine in the interface directory,
but anywhere else it would require exposing `uiBut.changed`, which
is probably too low-level to expose.
The solution is adding an `is_first` argument to the search callbacks,
which is nice for a few reasons:
- They work at a higher level of abstraction, meaning they don't
have to worry about how exactly to tell if this is the first
search.
- It makes it easier to do special behavior when the search menu
is first opened.
- Then, obviously, it makes that state accessible without including
`interface_intern.h`.

Long data-block names are clipped to fit into data-block selector menus. For
linked data-blocks, there's also a hint indicating the source library, which
takes further space and may get clipped too.
So this commit adds a tooltip to the menu items, which displays the full,
unclipped data-block name and the unclipped library name. Plus, the library
path is shown too, which is also useful info.
Adds helper functions for search menu item tooltips, so these are easier to add
to other search menus in future.

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.

With the new `ed_util_ops.c` introduced in 2250b5cefe, existing code can be
cleaned up to use it.
* Move new ID preview operators to `ed_util_ops.c`
* Move ED operator registration to `ed_util_ops.c`
* Use doxygen sections in `ed_util_ops.c`
* Rename ID related ED operators to use `ED_OT_lib_id_` prefix.
* Remove unused `#include`s
This bug was caused by making it so that non-embossed modifier icon
buttons could become an operator button and retain their red highlight
for disabled modifiers. The icon button needs emboss turned off, but
in earlier versions of Blender, `UI_EMBOSS_NONE` would be overridden
by animation or red alert states.
Instead of abusing "NONE" to mean "none unless there is animation or
red alert", this commit adds a new emboss flag for that situation,
`UI_EMBOSS_NONE_OR_STATUS`, which uses no emboss unless there is an
animation state, or another status. There are only a few situations
where this is necessary, so the change isn't too big.

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.

Design discussed and agreed on with the UI team, also see T79959.
This is similar to c4a2067130130d, but applies to the general UI and is only
about single data-blocks. Here there was a similar problem: How can buttons
pass the data they represent to operators? We currently resort to ugly ad-hoc
solutions like `UI_context_active_but_get_tab_ID()`. So the operator would need
to know that it is executed on a tab button that represents a data-block.
A single button can now hand operators a data-block to operate on. The operator
can request it via the "id" context member (`CTX_data_pointer_get_type(C, "id",
&RNA_ID)` in C, `bpy.context.id` in .py).
In this commit, it is already set in the following places:
* Generic RNA button code sets it to the pointed to data-block, if the button
represents a data-block RNA pointer property. (I.e for general data-block
search buttons.)
* Data-block selectors (`templateID`) set it to the currently active data-block.
* The material slot UI-List sets it for each slot to the material it represents.
The button context menu code is modified so its operators use the context set
for the layout of its parent button (i.e. `layout.context_pointer_set()`).
No user visible changes. This new design isn't actually used yet. It will be
soon for asset operators.
