- Matches changes in Python 3.x dictionary methods.
- Iterating now raises a run-time error if the property-group changes
size during iteration.
- IDPropertyGroup.iteritems() has been removed.
- IDPropertyGroup View & Iterator types have been added.
- Some set functionality from dict_keys/values/items aren't yet
supported (isdisjoint method and boolean set style operations).
Proposed as part of T85675.
One should be able to edit overridable IDProps values, but never their
settings/definitions.
Note that being able to add new IDProps to overrides is still a TODO.
Reported by Josephbburg (@Josephbburg) over blenderchat, thanks.
For now, do not allow to add custom props to overriding IDs (this should
be possible in the future, by getting basic correct behavior here is
already fairly hard, no reason to complicate things even more).
Also, properly disallow editing of existing custom props in overriding IDs.
To fully support storing colors as a custom property, it is necessary
to allow switching the property UI to the standard color picker button.
That means in effect supporting custom property subtype values.
Change RNA_property_subtype to look for a 'subtype' string field
in _RNA_UI and parse it as an enum value. To minimize performance
impact, only do it if the property is an array; also, don't use
the custom subtype during RNA path parsing.
On the python side, allow setting some most useful seeming values
from the custom property settings editor.
Also, since some color picker code seems to run into a risk of
buffer overruns if the array size is wrong, check the size in
the UI layout code to be safe.

In some rare cases it is convenient to store a short array value
as a custom property, e.g. a vector or color. For example, it may
be helpful when importing/exporting certain formats that support
custom or nonstandard attributes on objects.
The custom property storage already can handle arrays in order to
support properties defined via python. The only thing missing is
UI support (and some bugs), and this patch fixes that:
- Allow editing short array properties via Custom Properties panel.
- Fix a UI layout sizing bug triggered by the previous item.
- Fix a dependency graph bug with drivers using such properties.
- Make RNA_*_get_default_array code robust in case of size mismatch.
- Support custom default values for array properties, allowing
both an array and a scalar value.

Better to make internal code naming match official/UI naming to some
extent, this will reduce confusion in the future.
This is 'breaking' scripts and files that would use that feature, but
since it is not yet officially supported nor exposed in 2.80, as far
as that release is concerned, it is effectively
a 'no functional changes' commit.
This fixes poor Cycles panel ordering, with Freestyle and Custom Properties
appearing at the top.
For most cases order of registration is still the easiest way to control
order and it's recommended to keep using that. This is mainly to solve a few
cases where we want a few built-in panels to appear below add-on panels.
Creating a fully functional custom property requires also setting up
its limits, description, default value and static override status.
It is complex enough to warrant providing an official utility.
Currently boolean properties are technically int, but the utility
pretends they are separate in case that eventually they are.

NLA requires a usable default value for all properties that
are to be animated via it, without any exceptions. This is
the real cause of T36496: using the default of 0 for a scale
related custom property obviously doesn't work.
Thus, to really fix this it is necessary to support configurable
default values for custom properties, which are very frequently
used in rigs for auxiliary settings. For common use it is enough
to support this for scalar float and integer properties.
The default can be set via the custom property configuration
popup, or a right click menu option. In addition, to help in
updating old rigs, an operator that saves current values as
defaults for all object and bone properties is added.

Misleading name since it's between 0..1.
Use as a keyword argument to prepare for keyword only args.
Also document that leaving unset has special behavior.
We could not edit them, but still could delete them, which makes no
sense, API-defined properties are similar to class members, removing
them from single instances is pure garbage. And it was broken anyway.
Found by @a.romanov while checking on T51198, thanks.
- add support for IDProp array slicing, but not resizing.
- rename array attribute type to typecode and use chars 'f', 'd', 'i' which match pythons array module. (was using int's which only have a meaning internally).
- rename function 'convert_to_pyobject' to 'to_dict' and 'to_list' for IDProp group and array types respectively.
- remove 'len' array attribute, calling len(array) is fine.
path -> filepath (for rna and operators, as agreed on with elubie)
path -> data_path (for windowmanager context functions, this was alredy used in many places)
