Make the "Clear Motion Paths" operators more intuitive. Previously, the
only way to clear the motion path of the selected object/bone would be
to shift-click the "Clear ALL Motion Paths" button. Now there are two
"X" buttons, one for "selected" and one for "all".
The "Clear Selected" and "Clear All" buttons align with the
corresponding "Update Selected" and "Update All" buttons.
Improve a few messages, but mostly fix typos in many areas of the UI.

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.

Note that there are still some references to proxies left, in some cases
it's unclear if the code related to the comment is even still relevant,
this goes beyond mere cleanup to address then.
These macros don't compile in C++ because of taking an address of a
temporary and use of designated initializers. Besides that, using
functions can improve debugging and type safety.

Add notifier such that the Motion Paths panel in the Object Properties tab
gets redrawn, after using the Create Motion Path button.
The reason it didn't update was that the button actually triggers a popup,
and then executes in the context of that popup. It now actually emits a
`ND_DRAW_ANIMVIZ` notifier, and ensures that the panel redraws on that.
Existing code for the `Move` operator, and some `Collections` panel
operations (Object properties) was absolutely not override-safe, and
sometimes not even linked-data safe.
Add a property to the **Shade Smooth** operator to quickly enable the Mesh `use_auto_smooth` option.
The `Angle` property is exposed in the **Adjust Last Operation** panel to make it easy to tweak on multiple objects without having to go to the Properties editor.
The operator is exposed in the `Object` menu and `Object Context Menu`.
=== Demo ===
{F13066173, size=full}
Regarding the implementation, there are multiple ways to go about this (like making a whole new operator altogether), but I think a property is the cleanest/simplest.
I imagine there are simpler ways to achieve this without duplicating the `use_auto_smooth` property in the operator itself (getting it from the Mesh props?), but I couldn't find other operators doing something similar.

This behaviour was introduced in a687d98e67 to bring the old obscure
"M" operator to remove objects from the local view. In order to avoid
the keymap clash with the Move to Collection operator, the Move to
Collection was artificially restricted to work in local view.
In retrospect, the "Remove from Local View" operator is in the menu anyways,
so it didn't even need to have a shortcut (back in 2.79 the operator was
not in a menu).
The changes introduced here are:
* No shortcut for "Remove from Local View"
* No more restrictions to "Move/Link to Collection" from local view.
Thanks for Philipp Oeser for digging the old commit that introduced this
and for the rationale on the changes.
Add new `BKE_id_is_editable` helper in `BKE_lib_id.h`, that supercedes
previous check (simple `ID_IS_LINKED()` macro) for many editing cases.
This allows to also take into account 'system override' (aka
non-editable override) case.

This reverts commit 1558b270e9.

- Scene Frame Range
- Selected Keyframes
- All Keyframes
The Motion Paths operators are now also added to the Object context menu
and the Dopesheet context menu.
The scene range operator was removed, because the operators now
automatically find the range when baking the motion paths.
The clear operator now appears separated in "Selected Only" and "All",
because it was not clear for the user what the button was doing.

Using flags makes checking multiple modifiers at once more convenient
and avoids macros/functions such as IS_EVENT_MOD & WM_event_modifier_flag
which have been removed. It also simplifies checking if modifier keys
have changed.
This commit renames enums related the "Curve" object type and ID type
to add `_LEGACY` to the end. The idea is to make our aspirations clearer
in the code and to avoid ambiguities between `CURVE` and `CURVES`.
Ref T95355
To summarize for the record, the plans are:
- In the short/medium term, replace the `Curve` object data type with
`Curves`
- In the longer term (no immediate plans), use a proper data block for
3D text and surfaces.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D14114
This adds initial support for edit mode for the experimental new curves
object. For now we can only toggle in and out of the mode, no real
interraction is possible.
This patch also adds empty menus in edit mode. Those were added mainly
to quiet warnings as the menus are programmatically added to the edit
mode based on the object type and context.

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.

This makes the internal naming consistent with the public API. And also gives
us a visibility_flag rather than restrictflag that can be extended with more
flags.
Rename:
- EDBM_mesh_free -> EDBM_mesh_free_data
BKE_editmesh_free -> BKE_editmesh_free_data
Since this doesn't free the edit-mesh pointer.
- BKE_editmesh_free_derivedmesh -> BKE_editmesh_free_derived_caches
Since this no longer uses derived-mesh, match naming for the related
object function BKE_object_free_derived_caches.
Also remove `do_tessellate` argument from BKE_editmesh_create,
since the caller can explicitly do this if it's needed,
with the advantage that it can be combined with normal calculation
which is faster on high-poly meshes.
Support calculating face normals when tessellating. When this is done
before updating vertex normals it gives ~20% performance improvement.
Now vertex normal calculation only needs to perform a single pass on the
mesh vertices when called after tessellation.
Extended versions of normal & looptri update functions have been added:
- BM_mesh_calc_tessellation_ex
- BM_mesh_normals_update_ex
Most callers don't need to be aware of this detail by using:
- BKE_editmesh_looptri_and_normals_calc
- BKE_editmesh_looptri_and_normals_calc_with_partial
- EDBM_update also takes advantage of this,
where calling EDBM_update with calc_looptri & calc_normals
enabled uses the faster normal updating logic.
The check to include particle edit mode in the object-mode drop-down
didn't match the poll function to edit particle edit mode.
Share the check between both functions.
