The old convention was easy to confuse with ScrArea.
Part of https://developer.blender.org/T74432.
This is mostly a batch rename with some manual fixing. Only single word
variable names are changed, no prefixed/suffixed names.
Brecht van Lommel and Campbell Barton both gave me a green light for
this convention change.
Also ran clan clang format on affected files.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
Would happen during panel's refresh drawing, if drawing code had to adjust
final panel position compared to the initial one computed based on the
mouse coordinates, and user had dragged the floating panel around.
Issue fixed by adjusting stored mouse coordinates once final panel
position is known, such that they would directly generate those
coordinates. that way, the basic offset applied to those stored mouse
coordinates during panel dragging is valid, and recreating panel based
on those won't make it jump in screen.
Note that panel will still jump in case user dragged it partially out of
view - we could prevent that, but imho it's better to keep that
behavior, since redraw can generate a popup of different size, which
could end up with a totally out-of-view one...
Hopefully this fix does not break anything else!
This commit does the main integration of workspaces, which is a design we agreed on during the 2.8 UI workshop (see https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.8/UI/Workshop_Writeup)
Workspaces should generally be stable, I'm not aware of any remaining bugs (or I've forgotten them :) ). If you find any, let me know!
(Exception: mode switching button might get out of sync with actual mode in some cases, would consider that a limitation/ToDo. Needs to be resolved at some point.)
== Main Changes/Features
* Introduces the new Workspaces as data-blocks.
* Allow storing a number of custom workspaces as part of the user configuration. Needs further work to allow adding and deleting individual workspaces.
* Bundle a default workspace configuration with Blender (current screen-layouts converted to workspaces).
* Pressing button to add a workspace spawns a menu to select between "Duplicate Current" and the workspaces from the user configuration. If no workspaces are stored in the user configuration, the default workspaces are listed instead.
* Store screen-layouts (`bScreen`) per workspace.
* Store an active screen-layout per workspace. Changing the workspace will enable this layout.
* Store active mode in workspace. Changing the workspace will also enter the mode of the new workspace. (Note that we still store the active mode in the object, moving this completely to workspaces is a separate project.)
* Store an active render layer per workspace.
* Moved mode switch from 3D View header to Info Editor header.
* Store active scene in window (not directly workspace related, but overlaps quite a bit).
* Removed 'Use Global Scene' User Preference option.
* Compatibility with old files - a new workspace is created for every screen-layout of old files. Old Blender versions should be able to read files saved with workspace support as well.
* Default .blend only contains one workspace ("General").
* Support appending workspaces.
Opening files without UI and commandline rendering should work fine.
Note that the UI is temporary! We plan to introduce a new global topbar
that contains the workspace options and tabs for switching workspaces.
== Technical Notes
* Workspaces are data-blocks.
* Adding and removing `bScreen`s should be done through `ED_workspace_layout` API now.
* A workspace can be active in multiple windows at the same time.
* The mode menu (which is now in the Info Editor header) doesn't display "Grease Pencil Edit" mode anymore since its availability depends on the active editor. Will be fixed by making Grease Pencil an own object type (as planned).
* The button to change the active workspace object mode may get out of sync with the mode of the active object. Will either be resolved by moving mode out of object data, or we'll disable workspace modes again (there's a `#define USE_WORKSPACE_MODE` for that).
* Screen-layouts (`bScreen`) are IDs and thus stored in a main list-base. Had to add a wrapper `WorkSpaceLayout` so we can store them in a list-base within workspaces, too. On the long run we could completely replace `bScreen` by workspace structs.
* `WorkSpace` types use some special compiler trickery to allow marking structs and struct members as private. BKE_workspace API should be used for accessing those.
* Added scene operators `SCENE_OT_`. Was previously done through screen operators.
== BPY API Changes
* Removed `Screen.scene`, added `Window.scene`
* Removed `UserPreferencesView.use_global_scene`
* Added `Context.workspace`, `Window.workspace` and `BlendData.workspaces`
* Added `bpy.types.WorkSpace` containing `screens`, `object_mode` and `render_layer`
* Added Screen.layout_name for the layout name that'll be displayed in the UI (may differ from internal name)
== What's left?
* There are a few open design questions (T50521). We should find the needed answers and implement them.
* Allow adding and removing individual workspaces from workspace configuration (needs UI design).
* Get the override system ready and support overrides per workspace.
* Support custom UI setups as part of workspaces (hidden panels, hidden buttons, customizable toolbars, etc).
* Allow enabling add-ons per workspace.
* Support custom workspace keymaps.
* Remove special exception for workspaces in linking code (so they're always appended, never linked). Depends on a few things, so best to solve later.
* Get the topbar done.
* Workspaces need a proper icon, current one is just a placeholder :)

When the new window didn't end up using the size stored in the preferences
the splash would not be centered (even outside the screen in some cases).
Now centered popups listen for window resizing.
Basically all this does is drawing layout previews into the opened layout search menu.
https://youtu.be/RHYWtZP7pyA
The previews are drawn using offscreen rendering so they can't use multi-threading (yet!). But that shouldn't be an issue since only a handful of previews are drawn at the same time. Normally we only need to redraw the preview if a screen layout was changed. Would be nice if PreviewImage could store if it supports threaded rendering.
Previews are saved in files, might be useful if you later want to support appending layouts.
Adds a new file screen_draw.c.
Regression from rB69b66d549bcc8, was supposed to be non-functionnal
change, so not sure why search menu was reduced here? For now, restore
to 2.77 width.
This commit allows RNA properties to return additional info on their editable state which may then be displayed in tooltips. To show how it works, it also adds some info for the editable check of proxies. For generally un-editable properties or properties of a linked data-block, RNA returns default strings.

In User Preferences, Properties Editor and toolshelf, Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab now activates the next or previous space context (or category in case of toolshelf tabs), respectively.
For Properties Editor such functionality was completely missing, only toolshelf allowed cycling using ctrl+mousewheel (or only mousewheel while hovering tab region). Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab are common web browser shortcuts, so they're a reasonable choice to go with.
Reaching the first/last item doesn't cause the cycling to stop, we continue at the other end of the list then. (I didn't add this to Ctrl+Mousewheel toggling in toolshelf since I wanted to keep its behavior unchanged.)
We could get rid of (Ctrl+)Mousewheel cycling in toolshelf, but this may break user habits.
The cycling happens using a new operator, UI_OT_space_context_cycle, for toolshelf tabs it's hardcoded in panel handling code though.
Generalized rna_property_enum_step a bit and moved it to rna_access.c to allow external reuse.
