When an addon has been removed, but its `.pyc` files are still there,
the Python module can still be loaded. However, because `__init__.py` is
missing, it becomes a namespace instead of a module, and its `__file__`
will be set to `None`. As a result, it's impossible to get the mtime
from the file (because there is none).
This should not influence any regularly uninstalled add-on, as that
would just remove the add-on's directory; I ran into the problem when
switching Git branches caused an add-on's Python files to disappear
while keeping the `__pycache__` directory around.
This was raised in T74017, the issue being that we point to `/dev`
version of the manual for the addons when we want to point to a specific
version instead.
Instead of manually updating the URL every release we can do this.
The `bl_info` for addons will need to be updated in the format of
`'doc_url':
{BLENDER_MANUAL_URL}/addons/import_export/scene_gltf2.html",`

When running with debug enabled ('-d' argument),
warnings are printed for add-ons which are not yet updated.
Reminder to name things based on what they do,
not the technologies they use :)
Addons option
This removes the 'use_owner' option feature from rB61c8ed40f5df.
(this wasnt working well when addons are enabled and when switching
workspaces)
Now Addon filtering is just bypassed for Import/Export menus.
(by introducing/setting bl_owner_use_filter = False)

X3D has been (basically) ported in rBAe8da70ab73d2dd5ff46, and 3DS has
been downgraded to 'community' support, so we can get rid of that ugly
'slience warning' hack.
In some cases it doesn't make sense for add-ons to be listed for hiding.
Especially for import/export which use minimal UI space.
This adds `bl_info["use_owner"]` to add-ons,
currently defaulting to True for all non Import-Export add-ons.
Allows for each workspace to have it's own add-ons on display.
Filtering for: Panels, Menus, Keymaps & Manipulators.
Automatically applies to add-ons at the moment.
Access from workspace, toggled off by default
once enabled, add-ons can be white-listed.

Would run register() twice causing warning with `register_module()`
which expects new classes to be defined.
Now run unregister() before re-registering.
The addons tab in the User Settings window would be empty, due to
a FileNotFound error. This error can be caused by a broken symlink,
which is now treated the same was as a file that misses its bl_info
dictionary.
