No major API change here, only in the outliner restriction column
variables (e.g., show_restrict_column_selectable > show_restrict_column_select).
* Get rid of _INSTANCE (introduced on b1af682001).
* Differentiate (everywhere but the API) between HIDE (temporary) and VIEWPORT (global).
* Use the expected icon for restrict viewport (same as objects and modifiers).
* selectable > select
The complexity in this patch comes from the fact
that the current operator system does not support
multi-step user interactions well.
More specifically, for this to work, we need to show
a confirm dialog and a file browser afterwards.
We decided that it is easier to keep everything in
a single operator, instead of creating separate
operators that invoke each other.
So, now the `WM_OT_open_mainfile` operator invokes
itself in different states. It implements a simple
finite state machine to manage the states.
The dialog itself is expected to be improved in
a future commit. See D4829 for more details.

The most difficult part is handling parent-child relations correctly:
when a parent is applied, the children should be moved accordingly,
and when applying a child, it should not include transformation from
unapplied parents. All this requires walking bones as a tree, instead
of a flat list.
Limitation: Applying bones with non-uniform scaling without also applying
children will distort non-rest posing on said children for reasons related
to T54159 (basically, non-uniform scale plus rotation creates shear, and
Blender matrix decomposition utilities don't have tools to deal with it).

Visibility Options
==================
We are adding more granular control over restriction columns in the outliner,
exposing "indirect only" and "holdout" as options, and change the way
users enable/disable collections in a viewlayer.
We also rename the object viewport restriction to hide instance.
So the options we have are:
Collection
----------
* Render Visibility
* Instance Visibility
* Selectable
(View) Layer Collection
-----------------------
* Enable
* Holdout
* Indirect Only
* Viewport
Shortcuts
=========
Isolate Collection
------------------
* Ctr + click isolates the collection.
It turns all its parents and children "visible", and all the other
collections "invisible".
If ALL the collections were already properly set, we re-set the
collections to their default value.
Set Collection Inside Collections and Objects
---------------------------------------------
* Shift + click: Set/unset inside collections and objects.
We only set objects values as well when we are in View Layer mode and
(obviously) when the objects have a matching property.
Icons
=====
Little reminder that we will need better icons for holdout, indirect only, and
probably instanced (nothing wrong with the current, but it differs from
the proposal when it is turned off).
Also, we need to decide where do we want the modifier/bones/... icons to
be (in which column) and ideally make sure their icons match the ones we
use for collections/objects.
At the moment those are using the screen icon, which is not being used
by collections.

Internally tool settings have been moved to the 3D view.
Added the ability for to draw panels from another space/region
so they can be mirrored in the properties editor.
Monochrome colored icons don't work well on a dark background, so now we can
add a border around them. Note that most icons in the interface will remain
without a border, just the outliner and properties editor navigation have
colored icons and those will get a border. Other icons continue to be drawn
in the text colored without a border.

In recent changes the viewport_quality setting was not working what
users expected. This change will separate the anti-aliasing method that
is being used.
We now have three settings:
* scene.display.render_aa: Will be used during `Render Image`.
* scene.display.viewport_aa: Will be used during `Viewport Render Image`.
* userpref.viewport_aa: Will be used in the 3d view.
The viewport_quality setting has been replaced by the viewport_aa
setting as it was the only thing in currently controlled.

Since scale is multiplicative, the appropriate way to partially copy
it is to use power. However, the influence slider of constraints uses
linear interpolation. Thus, there is no way to correctly split scale
via constraints without adding this feature.
In addition, this allows inverting scale by using negative powers,
fulfilling the function of Copy Rotation's Invert checkboxes.
A 'Disable and Keep Transform' button for constraints was added. This
allows animators to disable a constraint without moving the constrained
object/bone, making it easier to toggle constriants on and off without
any visual consequence. Typical usage would be a character picking up an
object (enable 'Copy Transform' constraint) and placing it somewhere
else (disable the constraint).
Note that there could still be movement when there are muliple
constraints active. For example, when using this constraint stack
- #1: Copy Transform from Empty.001
- #2: Copy Rotation from Empty.002
and disabling constraint #2, constraint #1 is still active and will
still modify the visual transform of the object. According to our
in-house animators, this is expected behaviour.

This was trying to emulate the 2.79 Graph Editor.
The toggle took up more room that the filter toggle it revealed, and it made the header buttons jump around
Better to just have the filter toggles showing immediately.
Add a new option that makes the Spline IK solver apply volume
preservation on top of the original scaling, considering the
pre-IK scale of the bone as the goal volume to be preserved.
This basically works similar to the Stretch To constraint, and
allows easily rigging a stretchy chain that uniformly follows
its parent's scaling.
Since the Stretch To behavior is more familiar, the new option
is on by default for newly created Spline IK constraints.
Perviously it was only possible to interpolate from the breakdown poses.
Now you can Push/Relax in regard to the rest pose as well.
For this only one keyframe is needed while the old modes needs two.
The main reason for this change is to allow setting the
active frame with the left mouse button, while still being
able to select e.g. keyframes with the same mouse button.
The solution is to introduce a new scrubbing region with
a specialized keymap. There are a couple of related todos,
that will be handled in separate commits.
Those are listed in D4654.
This solves T63193.

After a lot of thinking about this, I decided that all operation modes
that I've tried over the past couple of years, including the original
2.79 one, have their uses after all. Thus the only reasonable solution
is to add yet another option.
The modes are:
- Strict: The current 2.80 mode, which overrides the original scaling
of the non-free axes to strictly preserve the volume. This is the most
obvious way one would expect a 'Maintain Volume' constraint to work.
- Uniform: The original 2.79 mode, which assumes that all axes have been
scaled the same as the free one when computing the volume. This seems
strange, but the net effect is that when simply scaling the object
uniformly with S, the volume is preserved; however, scaling the non-
free axes individually allows deviating from the locked volume.
This was obviously intended as a more or less convenient UI tool.
- Single Axis: My own variant of the intent of the Uniform scale, which
does volume-preserving if the object is scaled just on the Free axis,
while passing the non-free axis scaling through. I.e. instead of
uniform S scaling, the user has to scale the object just on its
primary axis to achieve constant volume. This can allow reducing the
number of animation curves when only constant volume scaling is needed,
or be an easier to control tool inside a complex rig.
