Use utility functions to decompose data paths and resolve the
RNA property from a data-path.
Replaces in-line string manipulation and RNA access.
This allows more complex data paths to be used, where previously string
literals in a data path could break the simple data-path handling logic.
Generic context operators now look-up the RNA properties to extract
their description (when it's available).
Add `bl_rna_utils.data_path.property_definition_from_data_path()`
to handle the details of accessing the RNA property definition.
Warnings in tooltips were using inconsistent formatting, some in
parantheses, some not, some in caps, others not, some on new lines,
some not, etc.
This patch uses a consistent new line and no capitals for these cases.

Revert "Point users to new location of "Show Group Colors" option",
commit rB6ed6741ee35930bf81fad9a5eb6bb17eea168725.
These deprecation hints were intended for one release only, and thus can
be removed now.
The description was missing from the Quick Liquid operator.
The fix adds the following description:

This implements the MVP for the new spreadsheet editor (T85879). The functionality
is still very limited, but it proved to be useful already. A more complete picture
of where we want to go with the new editor can be found in T86279.
Supported features:
* Show point attributes of evaluated meshes (no original data, no other domains,
no other geometry types, yet). Since only meshes are supported right now, the
output of the Point Distribute is not shown, because it is a point cloud.
* Only show data for selected vertices when the mesh is in edit mode.
Different parts of Blender keep track of selection state and original-indices with
varying degrees of success. Therefore, when the selected-only filter is used, the
result might be a bit confusing when using some modifiers or nodes. This will
be improved in the future.
* All data is readonly. Since only evaluated data is displayed currently, it has to
be readonly. However, this is not an inherent limitation of the spreadsheet editor.
In the future editable data will be displayed as well.
Some boilerplate code for the new editor has been committed before in
rB9cb5f0a2282a7a84f7f8636b43a32bdc04b51cd5.
It would be good to let the spreadsheet editor mature for a couple of weeks as part
of the geometry nodes project. Then other modules are invited to show their own data
in the new editor!

In general, I could not find a reason executing from the python console
should not do an Undo push. Running a script from the Text Editor does
this as well and this seems generally useful.
Without an Undo push, one can easily run into situations were IDs have
been added or removed and undo on would then cause trouble (e.g. first
selection then bpy.ops.object.duplicate() -- this crashed as reported in
T86293 -- duplicate does not get its own undo push because it is not the
last op in the list, wm->op_undo_depth is not zero). This has changed
with the Undo refactor, so in essence the root cause is the same as
T77557, Legacy Undo does not suffer from the crash (but misses
the generally useful undo push from the console still)
Now add Undo to CONSOLE_OT_execute bl_options ('UNDO_GROUPED' seems more
appropriate than plain 'UNDO' since pasting multiple lines of code will
call CONSOLE_OT_execute multiple times in a row).

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.

Support Python 3.10a5 or 3.9x with support explicitly enabled.
- Enable Python's postponed annotations for Blender's RNA classes
types registered on startup.
- Using postponed annotations has implications for how they are defined,
since they must evaluate in the modules name-space instead of the
classes name-space. See changes to annotations in `release/scripts`.
- Use `from __future__ import annotations` at the top of the module
to ensure the script will run with Python 3.10.
- Old logic is kept since it could be used if PEP-649 is supported.

When `Preferences → Editing → New Objects → Align To` is set to `3D
Cursor`, the fluid domain added by `Object → Quick Effects → Quick
Liquid` is aligned to the 3D cursor. This shouldn't be the case, since
these aren't new objects created directly by the user.

The logic to remove one Python module before installing another
only worked in simple cases where a file replaced a file.
- Installing a single file add-on over a Python package with the same
name caused an error as the directory isn't empty.
- Removing existing module directories from the zip-file did nothing
as the directories from the zip-file that end with a slash were
compared with directories from `os.listdir` that don't.
- `module_filesystem_remove` assumed ZipFile.namelist() was a list of
files in the root of the zip-file when it's a list of all files.
While I couldn't find any bugs caused by this, it performed checks
that don't make sense, comparing files at different depths of the
file-system.
Corrects approximately 36 spelling errors in source variable names.

When adding a new preset the name would be converted to lower case and
then displayed in the interface in title case. This was confusing
because the name didn't reflect what was typed, and there are many cases
when the name shouldn't be forced into title case (like 8K UHDTV for
example).
This commit leaves the custom preset names in the original casing, and
removes the conversion of filenames to title case for preset lists.

wm.context_* operators typically have their options set by menus
or key bindings.
Re-using options in this case can cause problems where two
actions that change unrelated properties will re-use a setting
from the previous execution.
For example changing the lights Power impacted
changing it's Radius afterwards.
The nodes were selected in new node groups because they are by default,
but there's no particular reason for them to be selected, and it can
be distracting.
Adding the modifier itself already adds a new node tree, which is
then displayed in the node editor because of the active object and
active modifier context. So there's no need to create the node tree
in the python code in this case.
- Use the name "Point Cloud" instead of "Pointcloud"
- Fix a typo in UV_OT_smart_project.
- Use the name "Install Light" to for the installation
operator for MatCaps, HDRIs, and Studio Lights.

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

This introduces the User Interface part of the Asset Browser, based on the
design in T54642.
Additions:
* New Asset Browser (internally a sub-editor of the File Browser).
* Navigation region showing asset categories.
* Main region showing the assets of the selected asset library with previews.
The assets may be stored over multiple .blends in the directory that's
"mounted" as asset library in the Preferences. They will all be shown in this
list.
* Header with an asset library dropdown, allowing to choose the active asset
library to show. Options are the "Current File" as asset library and all
custom libraries.
* Display popover, filter popover and search box (partially dummies, see
T82680).
* Sidebar showing the metadata of the currently active file (name, preview,
description and tags), which can be edited for assets in the "Current File"
asset library. (For others it will reset on reload.)
* The sidebar includes a button to load a custom preview image from a file.
* Make asset files draggable (with preview image).
* If a library with invalid path is selected, a message is drawn in the main
region to help the user understand what's wrong.
* Operators to add and remove asset tags. Exposed in the sidebar.
* "Only Assets" option for Link/Append.
* Internal utilities for asset UI scripts.
For screenshots or demo videos, please see D9725. Or the 2.92 release notes.
Note that there are many things to be tweaked and polished in the Asset Browser
UI still. For example, the filter and display popovers are mostly dummies. See
T82680.
