Followup to e65230f0c0.
Pablo and I decided it's fine to reset themes again when saved with the
recent 3.1 builds.
This needed to be done a bit careful, since a normal version patch
resetting the theme would've reset the theme for anybody opening
preferences of a 3.0 build (even the final release build) in a 3.1
build. So make sure the theme is at least from a 3.1 build (but not
newer then this commit of course).
This comment is from the block at the end of the versioning functions,
where we have an unversioned block to collect versioning code that
doesn't require immediate version bumping. The comment was probably just
copied over with the code when bumping the version eventually.
The version patch for 0cf9794c7e was checking and setting a data name
using the macros for translation. These would access the current
preferences which can mismatch the ones currently being version patched.
See discussion in 0cf9794c7e for details.
Don't handle translation in this version patch, which is more of a
"nice-to-have" version patch, no functionality depends on it.

To celebrate the beginning of a new series, it feels like the right time to
give the theme a fresh look while improving on what already works.
The aim of this refresh is to keep a familiar look but with polishing touches
here and there. Like new paint on the walls of your well known house.
The theme for Blender 2.8 was well received but presented a few flaws.
* Transparency on menus and tooltips reduce readability
* Mismatch on certain colors, especially outlines of connected widgets
* Active/open menus highlight was not prominent enough
* Header background mismatch in some editors
At the same time we can make use of new features in 3.0:
* Make panels look like panels again (like in v2.3!)
* Make use of roundness in more widgets
* Since nodes are no longer hard-coded to be transparent, tweak opacity and saturation
* Tweak colors for the new dot grid
This update does not include:
* Meshes in edit mode to match greenish object-data color. This needs tweaks in the code to improve contrast.
* A copy of the Blender 2.8x legacy theme. This could be added to the community themes (shouldn't cost much maintenance, I hope)
There will be certainly small tweaks to do here and there, I've been working using this theme
for months but there can be areas that are missing update. The overall style is presented here.

Feedback was that "Default" is a bit of a weird name, so switching it to "User
Library". Added versioning code which won't be entirely bullet proof (e.g. will
also rename libraries named "Default" by the user), but it doesn't have to be.
Addresses T90298.
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.

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.
This patch includes code from D9891 and D12754, so credit goes to Juanfran and Dalai.
I updated the patches to work with `master` and with the new overlay toggle.
The reason to include both changes as part of one patch is that the dimmed dashed lines work much better together with colored wires.

Back in Blender 2.30, the GUI project brought panels into Blender among other important visual updates.
For the first time it was possible to move the wall of buttons around. Providing a clear separation
between sections (it even allowed the grouping of panels in tabs!)
During the 2.5 redesign, the separation between panels became a line on top of each panel, and panels received
theme settings for background and header colors. The default theme used the same color for both.
In 2.8 the background color of panels was different from headers in the default theme, so the separator
line was removed. While the separator line wasn't elegant (only on top, non-themeable, hard-coded emboss effect),
it provided a sort of separation between panels.
This patch solves the panels-separation by simply adding a margin space around them (not visible in default theme yet).
Even though the margin reduces the width of the working area slightly, it makes room for the upcoming always-visible scrollbars.
Other adjustments:
* Use arrow icon instead of triangle to collapse/expand
* Use rounded corners to match the rest of the UI (editor corners, nodes, etc).
{F10953929, size=full}
Margin on panels makes use of the `style->panelouter` property that hasn't been
used in a while. Also slight tweaks to `boxspace` and `templatespace` style properties so they
are multiples of 2 and operations on them round better.
There is technically no need to update the themes for them to work, so no theme changes are included in this patch.

A new theme setting under Style controls the roundness of all panels (added it to Style instead of ThemeSpace because I think controlling the panel roundness per editor is a bit overkill):

* Adds a new experimental option "Extended Asset Browser", replacing
"Asset Browser".
* Unlike the previous option, this isn't enabled by default anymore.
This didn't work well in practice and caused plenty of confusion.
* "Mark as Asset" and "Clear Asset" are hidden if the option is
disabled.
* Same for the category selection in the Asset Browser.
* Always show display the "Only Assets" option in the File Browser while
browing inside .blend files. That way you can hide data-blocks that
are not pose assets.

The Asset Browser is still considered an experimental feature right now. But it
can be enabled by default for alpha builds, to get further testing and
feedback. It will hopefully be a non-experimental feature by the end of bcon1.
This is done in agreement with Dalai.
The green is still distinct from the more turquoise use for geometry, and
they are never used in the same node graph. The use of red makes sense, but
would need changes to other sockets and categories to set it apart well.

Mainly updated the Mantaflow version. It includes the new viscosity solver plugin based on the method from 'Accurate Viscous Free Surfaces for Buckling, Coiling, and Rotating Liquids' (Batty & Bridson).
In the UI, this update adds a new 'Viscosity' section to the fluid modifier UI (liquid domains only). For now, there is a single 'strength' value to control the viscosity of liquids.
One of the core design aspects of the Asset Browser is that users can "mount"
custom asset libraries via the Preferences. Currently an asset library is just
a directory with one or more .blend files in it. We could easily support a
single .blend file as asset library as well (rather than a directory). It's
just disabled currently.
Note that in earlier designs, asset libraries were called repositories.
Idea is simple: In Preferences > File Paths, you can create custom libraries,
by setting a name and selecting a path. The name is ensured to be unique. If
the name or path are empty, the Asset Browser will not show it in the list of
available asset libraries.
The library path is not checked for validity, the Asset Browser will allow
selecting invalid libraries, but show a message instead of the file list, to
help the user understand what's going on.
Of course the actual Asset Browser UI is not part of this commit, it's in one
of the following ones.

Change the default for the Show Channel Group Colors preference to OFF.
This option in the user preferences was introduced in rBad85256e7108. It
moved a per-file-per-editor option to the user preferences. As this
option would be frequently turned off by animators, this would now have
to happen only once. This commit takes this one step further, and turns
it off by default, as it can cause major readability issues of the
animation channel list.
During the development of the new nodes in the `geometry-nodes` branch
the color of the new nodes wasn't considered, so all of the nodes ended
up red, the color for "input" nodes. This patch introduces two new
colors, one for "Geometry" and one for "Attributes". There are only two
attribute nodes currently, but the next sprint will add two more,
attribute mix, and sample from texture. The attribute nodes are
conceptually different enough from the nodes that modify the geometry
that they deserve their own color.

The old "Show Group Colors" toggle had to be set per editor, and was on

action for every file, for every editor. It is very hard to select a

bright there) as well as the channel list (needs to be dark there), most

"Camera Parent Lock" can be useful when rigging cameras, but it is not
intuitive, and has also generated a lot of confusion (bug reports).
This is because it breaks the fundamental parent <-> child relationship
conventions in Blender, and there is no indication that it's intended
without diving into the preferences.
This commit moves the setting to the object level, and exposes it in
the relations panel in the property editor. It is exposed for every
object type because any object type can be "View Locked" in the 3D view.
The property description is also updated to reflect this change and be
more specific without getting too long.
In the future this could become a more general feature of the transform

In the graph editor there is a panel that says "Active Keyframe" for
numerically editing a keyframe's values, but in the code there is no

keyframe index value to FCurves. It also displays it with a theme
color for the active vertex (which didn't exist before) if the
FCurve is active.
The active keyframe in the graph editor is treated similarly to the
active vertex in the 3D view. It is the keyframe most recently selected
with a single click, and it is always selected.
For now, the only real functional change is that the active keyframe
appears in white and it should be more predictable which keyframe is
being edited in the sidebar panel.
