These nodes allow accessing and changing the stable/random ID used
for motion blur with instances and stable randomness.
Since rB40c3b8836b7a, the stable ID is a built-in attribute, so to be
consistent and allow changing it in the node tree like other built-in
attributes, it has get and set nodes.
Now that object assets are no longer considered experimental, the Assets
submenu can always be shown (regardless of the Extended Asset Browser
experimental feature).
In the 3D Viewport, add an "Assets" submenu to the Objects menu, for the
same operators as available in the outliner: Mark as Asset, Clear Asset,
Clear Asset (Set Fake User).
Since object assets are still considered experimental, the menu is only
shown when the Extended Asset Browser experimental feature is enabled.
In future use cases, a volume can contain many grids that represent the
density information. In this case, it's better if the volume to mesh node
creates a mesh based on all of the grids in the volume.
This is also a benefit to share-ability, since one doesn't have to
specify the grid name in the node. Instead, in the future we can have
a way to split particular grids into separate volumes, if only one
grid should be considered.
The code changes are relatively simple:
- Move the old volume to mesh node to the legacy folder.
- Run the volume to mesh node on all instance geometry, like elsewhere.
- Make the blenkernel's volume to mesh API a bit more specific.

Cycles:Distance Scrambling for Cycles Sobol Sampler
This option implements micro jittering an is based on the INRIA
research paper [[ https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01325702/document | on micro jittering ]]
and work by Lukas Stockner for implementing the scrambling distance.
It works by controlling the correlation between pixels by either using
a user supplied value or an adaptive algorithm to limit the maximum
deviation of the sample values between pixels.

Currently, both inactive and active tabs are using the `Region Text` theme property.

Avoid blocking the UI when searching for animation channels with Ctrl+F.
Instead of showing a single text input in a blocking popup, Ctrl+F now
just focuses the search box above the channel list. It feels nicer to
use and has the niceties that come from using that textbox, like
searching per keystroke, compared to the old pop-up method.
As the behaviour of the operator has changed considerably, this also
changes the operator name from `anim.channels_find` to
`anim.channels_select_filter` and updates the keymaps.

This patch makes the background grid of the node editor a grid of dots
instead of lines. This makes the background look a bit more subtle and
reduces visual complexity. The dots are meant to provide a reference
when panning and zooming. Based on the design of @pablovazquez, and
a patch originally authored by @fabian_schempp.
The "Grid Levels" controls how many levels of dots are drawn. As the
editor zooms in, the higher levels of dots fade in, making them closer
together visually. The zoom factor at which each grid starts and ends
fading in is controllable in the code, and could be tweaked further
in the future. The new default value is 7, out of a range from 0 to 9.

This patch makes the layout of the custom property panel more coherent
with the rest of the property editor interface, makes it less busy,
allows more space for the buttons for the actual properties, and
simplifies editing values of unsupported property types or long arrays.
- Remove the box around each property.
- Use an non-embossed X icon for deleting.
- Use an "edit" icon instead of the text for the meta-data edit operator.
The "gear" icon used for editing isn't ideal here.
- Increase the max array length for drawing the values directly to 8.
- Add an "Edit Property Value" operator for dictionaries or longer arrays.
- Replace the "Library Override" text with an icon.
- Use a proper split factor, the same as the rest of the UI.

The NLA editor is in need of a design overhaul, hopefully for 3.1 or 3.2.

This adds a new image texture node for geometry nodes. It does not
reuse the same node that is used in shading, because we want to be
able to expose the image and frame as sockets.
There is a known update issue when a movie or image sequence is
used. That will be fixed separately (also see D12957).
Currently, the image socket is just a pointer to an Image ID data block.
This can contain single images but also movies and image sequences.
In the future, the definition of an image socket can be expanded to
include images that are generated from scratch in the node tree.
For more details read the discussion in D12827.
Some of the code is a direct port from cycles and should be cleaned
up a bit in the future. For example `image_cubic_texture_lookup`.
For still images, the frame input is ignored. Otherwise, the frame
has to be in a valid range for the node to work. In the future we
may add e.g. automatic looping functionality.

This node takes a geometry set with instances as input and outputs
points located on the origins of the top level of instances in the
geometry set (not nested instances). It also has position and radius
inputs to allow overriding the default, and a selection input to only
generate points for some instances.
The use case for this node is a method to use geometry proximity on
instance origins, but in a more generic way that is flexible and useful
in other situations.

Adds a filter popup to the header that allows specifiying which data-block
types to show. The menu automatically reflects all supported ID types, so it
shows a checkbox for materials, worlds and actions currently by default, and
all ID types with the "Extended Asset Browser" experimental feature enabled.
The checkboxes integrate better with the surrounding layout and are not that
attention grabbing. To my knowledge the only reason not to use checkboxes was
so the icons could be displayed. But this does it just like the Outliner filter
settings: Show the icon before the checkbox.
Also widen the popover a bit to fit longer labels (didn't fit before this patch
even).
These nodes just output a single value of their respective types,
making it possible to control multiple inputs with the same value.

Camera, lattice and speaker object types were missing there own proper
`USER_DUP_` flags, leading to not properly handling duplication of their
object data.
NOTE: We could probably simply opions here, by using categories (like
'GEOMETRY', 'SHADING', etc.) instead of exact object types. But this is
beyond bugfix scope.
Updates UI code so that we can enable the asset UI for specific data-block
types by default, i.e. irrespective of the "Extended Asset Browser"
experimental feature.
"Mark as Asset" and "Clear Asset" are always visible in the Outliner context
menu now, but are grayed out if not applicable and show a disabled hint in the
tooltip.
A known side-effect of this: The "Mark as Asset" and "Clear Asset" operators
are enabled for action data-blocks now, even though only pose actions created
through the Pose Libraries add-on are supported. If this is something worth
addressing is being discussed still.

The old style of tile rendering was removed, leaving the script to error

Tile rendering came back in a new form (but only really relevant for

* Remove "Details" panel, it only contained one item (description). That is
moved next to the name and asset path button.
* Use property split layout for name source and description buttons. Now that
there are multiple buttons, it's better to have a label for them.
* Always show operators for asset previews, just gray them out if not

Adds a button, Update All Paths, to the Motion Paths property tabs and
will always show. The operator goes through all visible objects and
updates their motion paths.
The current implementation has a subtle functional change. Calculating
or updating motion paths for armature objects (through the Object tab,
not Armature tab) now also updates the paths for its bones. We could
preserve the old behavior but it doesn't seem necessary. It seems more
likely that the animator wants to update both anyways.
