This partially reverts cb0b017d8f: We can't store the asset handle in
the drag data, because the file pointer it wraps may be freed as the
Asset Browser generates its file list.
Would previously pass a few properties that are available via the
asset-handle now. This asset-handle is also required for some of the
asset API, e.g. the temporary ID loading. This will probably be needed
before too long.
If a text button is activated that is not in view (i.e. scrolled away),
the scrolling will now be adjusted to have it in view (with some
small additional margin). While entering text, the view may also be
updated should the button move out of view, for whatever reason. For the
most part, this feature shouldn't be needed and won't kick in, except
when a clicked on text button is partially out of view or very close to
the region edge. It's however quite important for the previously
committed feature, that is, pressing Ctrl+F to start searching in a UI
list. The end of the list where the scroll button appears may not be in
view. Plus while filtering the number of visible items changes so the
scrolling has to be updated to keep the search button visible.
Note that I disabled the auto-scrolling for when the text button spawned
an additional popup, like for search-box buttons. That is because
current code assumes the button to have a fixed position while the popup
is open. There is no code to update the popup position together with the
button/scrolling.
I also think that the logic added here could be used in more places,
e.g. for the "ensure file in view" logic the File Browser does.
This patch horizontally centers the text inside the progress bar
widget. It is currently left-aligned and offset to the middle, which
doesn't center properly.

This changes `UI_but_func_tooltip_set` so that it allows passing a custom free function, which has two benefits:
* The caller can pass `null` to indicate that the value should not be freed.
* Arbitrary c++ data can be passed to the callback (before the struct had to be trivially destructible).
I added `uiFreeArgFunc` and used it in other places where appropriate.

This patch adds a left aligned sidebar to the spreadsheet editor. This
Sidebar can be used to navigate the geometry component types and
attribute domains. It also provides a quick overview of domain sizes.
It replaces the two dropdowns in the regions header.
Next step will be to add the domain cycling shortcut
using the CTRL + mouse wheel.

Widget drawing code already supported drawing right-aligned, grayed out
shortcut strings. This patch generalizes things a bit so this can also
be used to draw other hints in the same way. There have been a few
instances in the past where this would've been useful, D11046 being the
latest one.
Note that besides some manual regression testing, I didn't check if this
works yet, as there is no code actually using it (other than the
shortcuts). Can be checked as part of further development for D11046.
A possible further improvement would be providing a way to define how
clipping should be done. E.g. sometimes the right-aligned text should be
clipped first (because it's just a hint), in other cases it should be
left untouched (like current code explicitly does it for shortcuts).
Removes the `UI_BUT_HAS_SHORTCUT` flag, which isn't needed anymore.
Note: Linking in this case as in link vs. append. Easily confused with linking
a data-block to multiple usages (e.g. single material used by multiple
objects).
Adds a drop-down to the Asset Browser header to choose between Link and Append.
This is probably gonna be a temporary place, T54642 shows where this could be
placed eventually.
Linking support is crucial for usage of the asset browser in production
environments. It just wasn't enabled yet because a) the asset project currently
focuses on single user, not production assets, and b) because there were many
unkowns still for the workflow that have big impact on production use as well.
With the recently held asset workshop I'm more confident with enabling linking,
as design ideas relevant to production use were confirmed.

Since rB298d5eb66916 [which was needed to update buttons with custom
property range functions correctly], using tab would always clamp
(hardmin/hardmax) properties which were using FLT_MAX / INT_MAX as range
in their property definitions.
The clamping of rB298d5eb66916 was copied over from rB9b7f44ceb56c
[where it was used for the softmin/softmax], and while the re-evaluation
of hardmin/hardmax is needed for custom property range functions, the
clamping should actually not take place.
There are many properties using FLT_MAX / INT_MAX etc. and while it
probably would be good to update these with ranges that make more sense
-- not using FLT_MAX / INT_MAX would not have done the clamping here --
there should not be an arbitrary limit to these and they should stay as
they are.

This patch introduces non linear sliders. That means, that the movement
of the mouse doesn't map linearly to the value of the slider.
The following changes have been made.
- Free logarithmic sliders with maximum range of (`0 <= x < inf`)
- Logarithmic sliders with correct value indication bar.
- Free cubic sliders with maximum range of (`-inf < x < inf`)
- Cubic sliders with correct value indication bar.
Cubic mapping has been added as well, because it's used for brush sizes
in other applications (Krita for e.g.).
To make a slider have a different scale type use following line in RNA:
`RNA_def_property_ui_scale_type(prop, PROP_SCALE_LOGARITHMIC);`
or:
`RNA_def_property_ui_scale_type(prop, PROP_SCALE_CUBIC);`
Test the precision, step size and soft-min if you change the scale type
of a property as it will feel very different and may need tweaking.

This patch adds domain and data type information to each row of the
attribute search menu. The data type is displayed on the right, just
like how the list is exposed for the existing point cloud and hair
attribute panels. The domain is exposed on the left like the menu
hierarchy from menu search.
For the implementation, the attribute hint information is stored as a
set instead of a multi-value map so that every item (which we need to
point to descretely in the search process) contains the necessary data
type and domain information by itself. We also need to allocate a new
struct for every button, which requires a change to allow passing a
newly allocated argument to search buttons.
Note that the search does't yet handle the case where there are two
attributes with the same name but different domains or data types in
the input geometry set. That will be handled as a separate improvement.

- Optionally get the error as a single line.
- Support access the error as an allocated string.
- PyC_ExceptionBuffer_Simple was always printing to the `stdout` while
PyC_ExceptionBuffer didn't, now either print to the output.
Without this, callers are unable to do anything with the error string.
Introduced in rBce462fa1 but harmless since curretly only `StructRNA`
without `owner_id` have the `STRUCT_UNDO` flag cleared.
So this commit does not bring any functional changes but it will be
useful for {D10695}.
Using the button context for operators is useful for other cases as well (where
the operator isn't the button operator itself). For example we'll need this for
the asset view UI template, where there will be additional operators that
should be able to act on button context.
I landed D10527 in rB1a8aee0a7cec accidentally, and the version there was
missing a name change discussed in review. This commit just renames the
boolean variable controlling the special behavior for attribute search.
Original message meant for this change:
For geometry nodes we will use search buttons to display a list of
attributes available the last time the node tree was executed (D10519).
Because this list is just a hint, we need to be able to enter any string,
not just strings from the search items.
This patch adds a boolean option to string buttons to enable this.
The change is quite simple, changes to behavior are only required in
two places. The type-specific button struct changes help a lot here.

Currently when you open an RNA collection search button, like a
vertex group selector, the search filter isn't applied until you
start typing, in order to display every option at the start.
Otherwise they wouldn't be visible, since the search filter would
run for the current text.
Currently this check happens in one place, but it relies on the
`changed` value of `uiBut`. This is fine in the interface directory,
but anywhere else it would require exposing `uiBut.changed`, which
is probably too low-level to expose.
The solution is adding an `is_first` argument to the search callbacks,
which is nice for a few reasons:
- They work at a higher level of abstraction, meaning they don't
have to worry about how exactly to tell if this is the first
search.
- It makes it easier to do special behavior when the search menu
is first opened.
- Then, obviously, it makes that state accessible without including
`interface_intern.h`.

The "quick setup" dialog is actually a 'menu', and the "splash screen" block
contains the UI_BLOCK_LOOP flag which causes the buttons' text to align
to the left, however, usually regular buttons have centered text.
As a workaround, add the UI_BLOCK_QUICK_SETUP flag which prevents
the text from being left-aligned.

This reverts commit 7ee518cf70.
Causes T84869. The initial issue is less bad than this. We are looking into
alternative fixes for 2.93 (see D9854 and D9853).
E.g. steps to reproduce:
* Enter Vertex Paint mode
* In the tool settings, right-click > "Edit Source"
When creating a number slider via `layout.prop(..., slider=True)`, the UI code
would reallocate the number button to be a number-slider button. That's because
we now actually have different button data-structures for these (see
e6f0b60c2e). The edit source code stored data based on the button pointers,
which didn't get updated after changing the type. The fix just adds this
updating.
For buttons that edit array properties, the soft min/max and slider ranges are
based on the range of all values in the array. However for alpha this does not
make much sense, the only reasonable range is 0..1 even when there are RGB
values larger than 1. So treat alpha as an individual property.
Activating buttons was running too early, before the popup was
positioned on the screen,
causing data-selectors to be positioned incorrectly.
As the early button activation isn't needed, remove this call.
Ensure this doesn't happen again with an assert.
Partially reverts 2250b5cefe.
Removing the user count and fake user count icons was controversial (which was
expected) and there are a few further changes needed, that won't make it in
time for the release, see D9946.
While there is a design to bring back the user count and fake user indicators,
a new design idea was proposed that the UI team wants to follow. This came too
late for the 2.92 release, the new design is targeted at the 2.93 release now.
Meanwhile, UI team decision was to simply revert the design changes.
The new design is being worked on in https://developer.blender.org/T84669.
Note that this commit does not revert some internal changes done in
2250b5cefe. Namely the introduction of `ed_util_ops.c` and data-block
operators in there. These will still be needed in the new design.
