These two operators (one for grease pencil, one for other objects)
copy a single modifier from the active object to all selected objects.
The operators are exposed in the dropdown menus in modifier headers.
Note that It's currently possible to drag and drop modifiers between
objects in the outliner, but that only works for dragging to one object
at a time. Modifiers can also be copied with the "Make Links" operator,
but that copies *all* modifiers rather than just one. The placement
and scope of these new operators allow for more useful poll messages
and error messages as well.
Every object type that supports modifiers is supported. Although hook
and collision modifiers aren't supported because of an unexplained
comment in `BKE_object_copy_modifier`, other than that, every modifier
type is supported, including particle systems, nodes modifiers, etc.
The new modifiers are set active, which required two small tweaks to
`object.c` and `particle.c`.

Approximately 138 changes in the spelling of compound words
and proper names like "Light Probe", "Shrink/Fatten", "Face Map".
In many cases, hyphens were used where they aren't correct, like
"re-fit". Other common changes include:
- "Datablock" -> "data-block"
- "Floating point" -> "floating-point"
- "Ngons" -> "n-gons"
These changes help give the language used in the interface

In the Bake > Output panel, there is now a choice between Image Textures and
Vertex Colors. The active vertex color layer is used for baking. This works
with both existing per-corner and sculpt per-vertex vertex colors.
Split of internal/external image bake target code off into smaller functions and
refactor associated data structures for clarity. Designed so that a vertex color
bake target is easy to fit in.
Also avoid passing in a huge number of arguments into the main baking function,
pass a struct instead.
Weight Paint Multi-Paint definitely depends on the weight specific
flag, and vertex group locking also involves group name symmetry
via BKE_object_defgroup_mirror_selection. These two are also
features implemented by me so I feel confident.
The rest of object_vgroup.c possibly should be changed too, but
that requires more consideration than these obvious cases.
Expand abbreviations for words like "Bright" (instead of "Brightness"),
"Premul", "Lib", "Dir", etc.

Some weird proxies apparently can have a local collection instancing...
Not sure this is even really valid for proxies, but in any case we
cannot override that, just detect and properly cancel the operation
then.
Should be backported to 2.91.1 should we do it.
Since a few versions (even before 2.79) we have an option that allows to restrict the vertex tools to operate only on deform groups. This was originally implemented for working with vertex groups for skeletal animation. In that case it is fortunate to have weight tools operate only on deforming vertext groups (vgroups assigned to bones)
In previous versions of Blender (up to 2.79) we have been able to use this option in Mesh Edit mode regardless of the armature mode. The current implementation (since 2.80 as far as i know) enables this option only when the associated armature is in pose mode. this has a bad consequence:
It is not at all intuitive that you have to put the armature into Pose mode before you can make use of the option in mesh edit mode.
Besides this it is not even necessary in the case when the user wants to restrict the tool only to all pose bones. In that case the armature can safely be kept in Object mode. However, when the tool shall apply only to selected pose bones, then it actually makes sense to have the armature in pose mode (as it is implemented right now)
I do not know why this feature has been restricted as described above. It must have got lost somewhere on the way to Blender 2.90
This patch fixes the issue as it allows to select the "restrict to pose bones" option when the armature is in any mode. I see no downsides of this change, actually this is a fix for a feature that once worked and apparently got forgotten in newer releases.

The geometry-nodes features no longer depend on the point cloud object.
Therefore the point cloud object, although important in the future, can
be postponed until we have render and edit mode fully working.
This reverts commits:
* ea74ed5a7a.
* dc614c68ef.
Remove DNA headers, using forward declarations where possible.
Also removed duplicate header, header including it's self

Also makes NLA tracks and strips overridable.
User can either edit existing strips in existing NLA tracks (but not add or remove them), and/or add new NLA tracks after those comming from the linked data.
Most of the work was as usual checking operators and adding protections against illegal operations in override context.
Note that since we can only rely on indices to deal with local added tracks, we forbid any local track being before any linked/original track.

It's easier to read and less 'weird' to check that an item is non-local
in a liboverride data-block, than the other way around. Thanks to
@sybren for noticing it.
RNA collections that support insertion of new items in liboverride
data-block need a special way to distiguish between locale and
orig-from-linked items (since some operations are allowed on the forer,
but no the latter).
In future we want a proper solution to abstract that at the
`BKE_lib_override` level, but for now we need to add some code for each
case.
Note that this commit also fixes a few potential issues with GPencil
modifiers, and constraints, regarding their handling of local overrides.
The point cloud object is the only one that will support instancing at
first. So we can expose it as a regular object.
It is limited since it has no edit mode. But this is not different than
the volume object.
This commit adds functions to set and get the object's active
modifier, which is stored as a flag in the ModifierData struct,
similar to constraints. This will be used to set the context in
the node editor. There are no visible changes in this commit.
Similar to how the node editor context works for materials, this commit
makes the node group displayed in the node editor depend on the active
object and its active modifier. To keep the node group from changing,
just pin the node group in the header.
* Shortcuts performed while there is an active modifier will affect
only that modifier (the exception is the A to expand the modifiers).
* Clicking anywhere on the empty space in a modifier's panel will make it active.
These changes require some refactoring of object modifier code. First
is splitting up the modifier property invoke callback, which now needs
to be able to get the active modifier separately from the hovered
modifier for the different operators.
Second is a change to removing modifiers, where there is now a separate
function to remove a modifier from an object's list, in order to handle
changing the active.
Finally, the panel handler needs a small tweak so that this "click in panel"
event can be handled afterwards.
This is the initial merge from the geometry-nodes branch.

Notes on the Generic attribute access API
The API adds an indirection for attribute access. That has the following benefits:
* Most code does not have to care about how an attribute is stored internally.
This is mainly necessary, because we have to deal with "legacy" attributes
such as vertex weights and attributes that are embedded into other structs
such as vertex positions.
* When reading from an attribute, we generally don't care what domain the
attribute is stored on. So we want to abstract away the interpolation that
that adapts attributes from one domain to another domain (this is not
actually implemented yet).
Other possible improvements for later iterations include:
* Actually implement interpolation between domains.
* Don't use inheritance for the different attribute types. A single class for read
access and one for write access might be enough, because we know all the ways
in which attributes are stored internally. We don't want more different internal
structures in the future. On the contrary, ideally we can consolidate the different
storage formats in the future to reduce the need for this indirection.
* Remove the need for heap allocations when creating attribute accessors.
It includes commits from:

As proposed in T74432 and already implemented in several commits,
"region" is the preferred name for `ARegion` variables, rather than
any variant of "ar". This commit changes a few "ar" variables that have
popped up over time and also adjusted names of variants like "arnew".
The original name was chosen because symmetry was a property of
the Paint struct. Now symmetry is a property of meshes, which
also makes the name of the property easier to understand.

When using Optimal Display, some edges are not flagged `ME_EDGEDRAW` |
`ME_EDGERENDER`.
When the modifier is applied through the UI in the modifier stack this is
not an issue because the `modifyMesh` callback is run with
`MOD_APPLY_TO_BASE_MESH` (this will effectively turn of Optimal
Display).
When converting to mesh though, this will just get an evaluated mesh
(where the edge flags are still the same as with the subdivision
modifier).
Now ensure every edge is flagged to draw after conversion.

`WM_operator_properties_filesel()` allows C operators to set a display or sort
type for the File Browser to use. But the File Browser would always override
that because of an invalid `_is_set()` check. (The operators don't actually set
the value, they only set the property's default value.)
The only operator affected by this is "Recover Auto Save". It is supposed to
show a vertical list ordered chronologically. It used settings from the
previous File Browser usage before this patch.
Operators using the File Browser should generally use
`FILE_DEFAULTDISPLAY`/`FILE_SORT_DEFAULT` now, except if they have a reason not
to. See comments at their definition.
----
This makes it so operators that set a different display or sort type
don't change the sort or display type for the next File Browser operation.
So using "Recover Auto Save" entirely isolates display and sort type from other
operations.

Consistently return `false` from `ED_object_parent_set()` when parenting
is not possible. Before, when parent and child were the same object, the
function would return `true` even though the parent-child relation was
not made.
Just returning `false` in the `parent == child` case would break the
parenting operator, as `false` stops its loop over all selected objects.
This tight coupling caused T82312. The loop now has its own check for
this, so that it properly continues, and the implementation of
`ED_object_parent_set()` is decoupled from its surrounding code.
