When idle, each 3D view made two calls CTX_data_mode_enum(C) from the
WM_main loop. While not causing problems it complicated troubleshooting
high CPU use while idle in other areas.
Access the object via the view layer, giving approx 40x speedup.
Move `pose_backup.cc` from `editors/armature` to `blenkernel`. This is
in preparation of an upcoming change where the pose backup is going to be
owned by the `Object`. This will need to be automatically cleared when the
object is freed, which means that `blenkernel` needs the corresponding
logic.
Technically only the freeing code could be moved, but I felt it made more
sense to keep the related code together.
No functional changes.
Opening the material selector after reloading files could cause long UI
freezes, because some linked in materials don't have the preview stored
in the source file. So Blender would keep rerendering it after every
file load, which may involve compiling OpenGL shaders, which again
freezes the UI typically. This was reported as quite an issue for the
Heist Production by the Blender Studio.
Don't render these missing material previews from linked data-blocks
anymore.

The new Xcode 14.1 brings the new Apple Clang compiler which
considers sprintf unsafe and geenrates deprecation warnings
suggesting to sue snprintf instead. This only happens for C++
code by default, and C code can still use sprintf without any
warning.
This changes does the following:
- Whenever is trivial replace sprintf() with BLI_snprintf.
- For all other cases use the newly introduced BLI_sprintf
which is a wrapper around sprintf() but without warning.
There is a discouragement note in the BLI_sprintf comment to
suggest use of BLI_snprintf when the size is known.

Motivation is to disambiguate on the naming level what the matrix
actually means. It is very easy to understand the meaning backwards,
especially since in Python the name goes the opposite way (it is
called `world_matrix` in the Python API).
It is important to disambiguate the naming without making developers
to look into the comment in the header file (which is also not super
clear either). Additionally, more clear naming facilitates the unit
verification (or, in this case, space validation) when reading an
expression.
This patch calls the matrix `object_to_world` which makes it clear
from the local code what is it exactly going on. This is only done
on DNA level, and a lot of local variables still follow the old
naming.
A DNA rename is setup in a way that there is no change on the file
level, so there should be no regressions at all.
The possibility is to add `_matrix` or `_mat` suffix to the name
to make it explicit that it is a matrix. Although, not sure if it
really helps the readability, or is it something redundant.

These functions are almost identical, the main difference being
BLI_join_dirfile didn't trim existing slashes when joining paths
however this isn't an important difference that warrants a separate
function.
The confusion is about World as an ID type, and the World coordinates.
Use no context for the latter, and either `BLT_I18NCONTEXT_ID_WORLD`,
or other more fine-grained contexts when needed as part of enums for the
former.
The message from the custom HDRI installation operator cannot be
disambiguated right now, because Python enums don't support contexts.

This is the conventional way of dealing with unused arguments in C++,
since it works on all compilers.
Regex find and replace: `UNUSED\((\w+)\)` -> `/*$1*/`
When a change happens which invalidates view layers the syncing will be postponed until the first usage.
This will improve importing or adding many objects in a single operation/script.
`BKE_view_layer_need_resync_tag` is used to tag the view layer to be out of sync. Before accessing
`BKE_view_layer_active_base_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_object_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_collection`
or `BKE_view_layer_object_bases` the caller should call `BKE_view_layer_synced_ensure`.
Having two functions ensures that partial syncing could be added as smaller patches in the future. Tagging a
view layer out of sync could be replaced with a partial sync. Eventually the number of full resyncs could be
reduced. After all tagging has been replaced with partial syncs the ensure_sync could be phased out.
This patch has been added to discuss the details and consequences of the current approach. For clarity
the call to BKE_view_layer_ensure_sync is placed close to the getters.
In the future this could be placed in more strategical places to reduce the number of calls or improve
performance. Finding those strategical places isn't that clear. When multiple operations are grouped
in a single script you might want to always check for resync.
Some areas found that can be improved. This list isn't complete.
These areas aren't addressed by this patch as these changes would be hard to detect to the reviewer.
The idea is to add changes to these areas as a separate patch. It might be that the initial commit would reduce
performance compared to master, but will be fixed by the additional patches.
**Object duplication**
During object duplication the syncing is temporarily disabled. With this patch this isn't useful as when disabled
the view_layer is accessed to locate bases. This can be improved by first locating the source bases, then duplicate
and sync and locate the new bases. Will be solved in a separate patch for clarity reasons ({D15886}).
**Object add**
`BKE_object_add` not only adds a new object, but also selects and activates the new base. This requires the
view_layer to be resynced. Some callers reverse the selection and activation (See `get_new_constraint_target`).
We should make the selection and activation optional. This would make it possible to add multiple objects
without having to resync per object.
**Postpone Activate Base**
Setting the basact is done in many locations. They follow a rule as after an action find the base and set
the basact. Finding the base could require a resync. The idea is to store in the view_layer the object which
base will be set in the basact during the next sync, reducing the times resyncing needs to happen.

Currently, draw engines are not notified of view updates if a render
engine is active and was updated. It is unclear why this is the case
currently, but this behavior was part of the initial commit.
This patch propagates view updates regardless if the update was handled

it implements logic for view updates, which currently does not execute

It's not immediately clear what they refer to, they just hide what they

Plus these macros gave read and write access to the variables, so eyesores like

These operators build a list of all lightgroups that are used by the view layer's
scene and either add all used lightgroups that are not part of the view layer yet

Currently, only Lightgroups that exist in the current view layer can be

The internal UI code already has support for search fields that accept
unknown input, so I just added that to the API and use it for lightgroups.
When a lightgroup is entered that does not exist in the current view layer
(e.g. because it's completely new, because the view layer was switched or
because it was deleted earlier), a new button next to it becomes active and
adds it to the view layer when pressed.

Light groups are a type of pass that only contains lighting from a subset of light sources.
They are created in the View layer, and light sources (lamps, objects with emissive materials
and/or the environment) can be assigned to a group.
Currently, each light group ends up generating its own version of the Combined pass.
In the future, additional types of passes (e.g. shadowcatcher) might be getting their own
per-lightgroup versions.
The lightgroup creation and assignment is not Cycles-specific, so Eevee or external render
engines could make use of it in the future.
Note that Lightgroups are identified by their name - therefore, the name of the Lightgroup
in the View Layer and the name that's set in an object's settings must match for it to be
included.
Currently, changing a Lightgroup's name does not update objects - this is planned for the
future, along with other features such as denoising for light groups and viewing them in
preview renders.

Adds supports for collection previews that are rendered automatically when
collections are marked as assets. (Or when preview rendering is triggered
differently, e.g. through the //Refresh Data-Block Previews// operator).
Idea in this patch is to create a collection instance empty outside of main for
the collection, and then reuse the object rendering code to render the preview.
This keeps things very simple and works just fine.
