This adds support for showing geometry passed to the Viewer in the 3d
viewport (instead of just in the spreadsheet). The "viewer geometry"
bypasses the group output. So it is not necessary to change the final
output of the node group to be able to see the intermediate geometry.
**Activation and deactivation of a viewer node**
* A viewer node is activated by clicking on it.
* Ctrl+shift+click on any node/socket connects it to the viewer and
makes it active.
* Ctrl+shift+click in empty space deactivates the active viewer.
* When the active viewer is not visible anymore (e.g. another object
is selected, or the current node group is exit), it is deactivated.
* Clicking on the icon in the header of the Viewer node toggles whether
its active or not.
**Pinning**
* The spreadsheet still allows pinning the active viewer as before.
When pinned, the spreadsheet still references the viewer node even
when it becomes inactive.
* The viewport does not support pinning at the moment. It always shows
the active viewer.
**Attribute**
* When a field is linked to the second input of the viewer node it is
displayed as an overlay in the viewport.
* When possible the correct domain for the attribute is determined
automatically. This does not work in all cases. It falls back to the
face corner domain on meshes and the point domain on curves. When
necessary, the domain can be picked manually.
* The spreadsheet now only shows the "Viewer" column for the domain
that is selected in the Viewer node.
* Instance attributes are visualized as a constant color per instance.
**Viewport Options**
* The attribute overlay opacity can be controlled with the "Viewer Node"
setting in the overlays popover.
* A viewport can be configured not to show intermediate viewer-geometry
by disabling the "Viewer Node" option in the "View" menu.
**Implementation Details**
* The "spreadsheet context path" was generalized to a "viewer path" that
is used in more places now.
* The viewer node itself determines the attribute domain, evaluates the
field and stores the result in a `.viewer` attribute.
* A new "viewer attribute' overlay displays the data from the `.viewer`
attribute.
* The ground truth for the active viewer node is stored in the workspace
now. Node editors, spreadsheets and viewports retrieve the active
viewer from there unless they are pinned.
* The depsgraph object iterator has a new "viewer path" setting. When set,
the viewed geometry of the corresponding object is part of the iterator
instead of the final evaluated geometry.
* To support the instance attribute overlay `DupliObject` was extended
to contain the information necessary for drawing the overlay.
* The ctrl+shift+click operator has been refactored so that it can make
existing links to viewers active again.
* The auto-domain-detection in the Viewer node works by checking the
"preferred domain" for every field input. If there is not exactly one
preferred domain, the fallback is used.
Known limitations:
* Loose edges of meshes don't have the attribute overlay. This could be
added separately if necessary.
* Some attributes are hard to visualize as a color directly. For example,
the values might have to be normalized or some should be drawn as arrays.
For now, we encourage users to build node groups that generate appropriate
viewer-geometry. We might include some of that functionality in future versions.
Support for displaying attribute values as text in the viewport is planned as well.
* There seems to be an issue with the attribute overlay for pointclouds on
nvidia gpus, to be investigated.

The poll function with same semantic was defined in both screen and
mask space modules. The only reason for this seems to be that the
image editor needed a mask poll function which was private to the
mask module.
Make the mask editing poll functions public, avoiding code duplication.
Also, added a brief explanation about what the poll functions are
checking for.
No user-level changes are expected to happen.

Issue was that the context used for dropbox handling and polling didn't
match the one used for drawing the dropbox and generating the tooltip
text (which would determine the material slot under the cursor,
requiring context). The mismatch would happen with overlapping regions.
Actually, this patch includes two fixes, each fixing the crash itself:
* Store the context from handling & polling and restore it for drawing.
* Correct the hovered region lookup for drawing to account for overlayed
regions.
Note that to properly set up context for drawing, we should also account
for the operator context, which isn't done here, see
https://developer.blender.org/T92501#1247581.
When dragging an object in non-object mode into a 3D View, there will now be

- Add Cursor tool, cursor transform.
- Support for cursor and bound-box pivot.
- Add pivot pie menu.
This adds an offscreen View3D window area for the VR view in order to
execute XR events/operators in the proper context. The area is created
as runtime data before XR events are dispatched and set as the active
area during XR event handling.
Since the area is runtime-only, it will not be saved in files and since
the area is offscreen, it will not interfere with regular window areas.
The area is removed with the rest of the XR runtime data on exit, file
read, or when stopping the VR session.
Note: This also adds internal types (EVT_DATA_XR, EVT_XR_ACTION) and
structs (wmXrActionData) for XR events.

Added a comment to each operator poll assignment to explicitly mention
the intention. That should also remind devs to decide if the operator
should apply for both file & asset browsing when copy & pasting operator
definition code.
This patch adds support for filtering rows based on rules and values.
Filters will work for any attribute data source, they are a property
of the spreadsheet rather than of the attribute system. The properties
displayed in the row filter can depend on data type of the currently
visible column with that name. If the name is no longer visible, the
row filter filter is grayed out, but it will remember the value until
a column with its name is visible again.
Note: The comments in `screen.c` combined with tagging the sidebar
for redraw after the main region point to a lack of understanding
or technical debt, that is a point to improve in the future.
**Future Improvements**
* T89272: A search menu for visible columns when adding a new filter.
* T89273: Possibly a "Range" operation.

Creating a new full screen area had it's area initialized as empty,
updating the screen then set the area to a 3D view (as a fallback),
before the actual area type was set.
This made setting the intended space-type run the 3D views exit callback
on a 3D view without a View3D struct allocated, which the exit callback
needed to account for.
Resolve by calling ED_screen_change after the area type has been set.
The term direction was used in 3 different ways in screen editing code,
making it hard to follow:
- 0-3 for as magic numbers mapped to [west,north,east,south].
- `h`, `v` characters for [horizontal,vertical] axes.
- Cycle direction SPACE_CONTEXT_CYCLE_PREV, SPACE_CONTEXT_CYCLE_NEXT
The following changes have been made:
- Add `eScreenDir` for [west,north,east,south], use variable name `dir`.
- Add `eScreenAxis` for [horizontal,vertical] values, use variable name
`dir_axis`.
- Add `eScreenCycle` for existing enum `SPACE_CONTEXT_CYCLE_{PREV/NEXT}`.
- Add macros `SCREEN_DIR_IS_VERTICAL(dir)`,
`SCREEN_DIR_IS_HORIZONTAL(dir)`.

If Preferences > Interface > Temporary Editors > File Browser is set to
"Maximized Area", opening a File Browser from a File or Asset Browser as
regular editor would cause some issues. For example after closing the
temporary File Browser, the regular browser would take over the file
path and display settings from the temporary one. This is because they
used to share the same area data.
Some similar issues may have happend with temporary image editors.
Now, this commit finally separates the space data of temporary maximized
editors from the regular ones. So the editor data is entirely
independent now, as it should be.
When outliner datablocks are selected, switch to the corresponding tab
for that datablock in properties editors. Only properties editors
that share an edge with the outliner will change tabs.
Additionally, when modifiers, constraints, and shader effects are
selected from the outliner, the panel will be expanded in all properties
editors.

This patch enables property search for all tabs in the property editor.
To make interaction faster, if the editor's current tab doesn't have a
result, the current tab changes to the next tab that has a match.
This patch implements basic code that only searches panels.
While we could run the existing "single tab" property search for every
tab, that would also do everything else related to the layout pass,
which would be less efficient, and maybe more complicated to maintain.
The search match status for every current tab of the property editor is
stored in a runtime bitfield and them displayed later by dimming icons
in the tab selector panel to the left. Using `BLI_bitmap` properly in
the runtime struct required moving it to `buttons_intern.h` and
adding a small API to access the search filter instead.
To make sure the editor isn't influenced by anything that happens while
building the layout for other tabs, most of the context is duplicated
and the new search is run in the duplicated editor.
Note that the tool settings tab works slightly different than the other
tabs, so I've disabled searching it for this commit. That would be a
relatively simple improvement, but would just require a bit of
refactoring of existing code.

This adds a search bar to the properties editor. The full search for
every tab isn't included in this patch, but the interaction with
panels, searching behavior, UI, region level, and DNA changes are
included here.
The block-level search works by iterating over the block's button
groups and checking whether they match the search. If they do, they
are tagged with a flag, and the block's panel is tagged too. For
every update (text edit), the panel's expansion is set to whether
the panel has a result or not. The search also checks for matching
strings inside enums and in panel labels.
One complication to this that isn't immediately apparent is that
closed panel's subpanels have to be searched too. This adds some
complexity to the area-level panel layout code.
Possible Future Improvements:
- Use the new fuzzy search in BLI
- Reset panels to their expansion before the search started if
the user escape out of the text box.
- Open all child panels of a panel with expansion.

Continuing the work of eb9055a572, remove remaining unecessary
variables and arguments that were related tabbing and horizontal
alignment of panels. For example, "vertical" was always true, and
removing that exposed other unused variables.
Checks for header alignment didn't account for tool-header & header
having different alignment.
There is no reason to use a lookup function on the area
(ED_area_header_alignment) as we already have region.
Check the regions alignment directly, remove access functions.
This replaces header include guards with `#pragma once`.
A couple of include guards are not removed yet (e.g. `__RNA_TYPES_H__`),
because they are used in other places.

When switching workspaces we need to have an unused screen layout that
we can activate. The other window now showed the only available screen
layout in fullscreen though.
Usually when there's no unused screen layout we duplicate an existing
one, but that code didn't respect the fullscreen case properly.
This also tries to clean up the logic a bit, but things are still rather
complicated to follow.
Changes in this code are always risky. Of course things worked fine in
my tests, but I wouldn't be surprised if something breaks.
The abbreviation 'init' is brief, unambiguous and already used
in thousands of places, also initialize is often accidentally
