Group Object Type Visibility with the viewport settings in the header.
The eye icon is a placeholder. A new icon is needed to better communicate
the user at a glance if all (or none) object types are enabled, or why certain types
are not visible/selectable in the viewport.

When tweaking the shading/overlays settings through the popovers,
these get on the way of the content in the viewport. Making it hard to
see the result of our changes.
Unfortunately this breaks consistency with other headers where the snapping
tools are aligned to the right, but the benefits outweigh the costs.
Organize content in categories/sub-panels.
The result is a more organized but slightly taller popover.
Once sub-panels are implemented code-wise, the alignment issues
(like panel label) and extra space between the content and panels
headers will be reduced. Together with the ability to have certain
less-used popovers collapsed by default, this will make the
popover more compact.

There are now 3 categories in the overlay popover:
- Navigation
- Active (camera, lamp... etc)
- Tool (manipulator)
The user preference for mini axis now controls if the mini axis
displays minimal or a full-interactive widget.

Now we light with just a user defined HDRI by default, which is useful
for material setup and texture painting and lighting without having to
set up any scene lights.
Previously it would use the scene world without lights by default, which
in some files is just black.
Trying to have a single option for this is too likely to be
insufficient in some cases.
Instead, support object type visibility & selectability per view-port.
This patch will allow users to customize what object types will be drawn by the object mode overlay.
It supports: Empties, Lamps, Cameras, Speakers, Armatures and Lightprobes.
It currently does not support Physics objects due to the overlap it has with other objects types.
Also be aware that in pose mode the armature is drawn, but not by the object mode overlay

Added a option to the overlay popover that controls the visibility of
non-renderable objects like lamps, cameras, speakers, armatures, curves
empties and force fields.
After discussion we went for a single option with more detailed check in
the object_mode draw engine.

There was a Full Shading bool that was shared across the WP, VP and TP
modes. This commit makes some changes:
- Replace the bool with a factor. This gives the user more control on
the visibility.
- Also draw it on top of the Material and Rendered mode so the user can
control what he needs. In certain cases you don't want to see the final
rendered material, but the actual texture.
- Removed the skipping of objects when in paint modes. As now the paint
modes are blended.
the use of the texture drawtype is limited. so who should we have it
this prominent on the screen. By adding it as a shading.color_type
option we should save some screenspace.
H hides selected objects, Shift+H hides unselected objects, and Alt+H
reveals hidden objects.
This hiding state is distinct from restrict viewport and render, and
meant for temporarily hiding objects without affecting more persistent
collection hiding.
Object hiding is per view-layer, same as selection. It affects the
viewport and any preview renders in there, but not final renders.
In the outliner, different icons are now used for temporary hiding, and
restrict viewport and render. Hidden objects are greyed out.
Remaining design issues:
* For lamps we probably still want to keep their effect on the scene,
currently they are fully disabled by hiding. Arguably mesh lights or
even objects being reflected or casting shadows are not that different
but perhaps the special lamp exception from local view should remain.
* We need a feature still to disabled this hiding for specific viewports,
for render or animation preview where you want to see the entire scene
while working in another view.
* We need a new icon for restrict viewport, for now it uses a grid similar
to the 2.4 icon.
* Hiding objects does not preserve selection state as it did in 2.7,
it's probably convenient to support this again?
