This further changes the preferences organization, to avoid grouping unrelated
settings together. With more sections we can also expand more panels by default,
making it possible to quickly go through sections and see the settings of each.
Panels with less used settings are still collapsed by default, to keep all panel
headers visible without scrolling.

Before this Blender always needed the Wintab driver. This adds support for the
native pressure API in Windows 8+, making it possible to get pressure sensitivity
on e.g. Microsoft Surface hardware without any extra drivers.
By default Blender will automatically use Wintab if available, and if not use
Windows Ink instead. There is also a new user preference to explicitly specify
which API to use if automatic detection fails.
Fixes T57869: no pressure sensitivity with Surface pen or laptop.
Code by Christopher Peerman with some tweaks by Brecht Van Lommel.

This was only used by collada export metadata.
If metadata like this is needed, we can use per-filetype preferences,
to make it clear when user identifiable information is being used.
When holding down the key for a while, the pie menu will disappear when
releasing the key. This is under the assumption that in this case the user
decided to cancel the action.

Makes the entire Preferences UI nicely width responsive. Also, move
use_tabs_as_spaces option back to file path options, it was too lonely
in its own panel ;)
* Expand more sub-panels by default.
* Move release confirms and numeric input settings to Input.
* Move 3D cursor settings to Editing.
* Move region overlap to Interface.
- Move author to save&load
(was incorrectly under text editor).
- Rename Memory -> Memory/Limits
(some of the settings aren't obviously todo with memory).
(Part 1 was 00963afc14978b)
Does the following changes visible to users:
* Use panels and sub-panels for more structured & logical grouping
* Re-organized options more logically than before (see images in D4148)
* Use flow layout (single column by default).
* New layout uses horizontal margin if there's enough space.
* Change size of Preferences window to suit new layout.
* Move keymap related options from "Input" into own section.
* Own, left-bottom aligned region for Save Preferences button.
* Adjustments of names, tooltips & icons.
* Move buttons from header into the main region (except editor switch).
* Hide Preferences header when opened in temporary window.
* Use full area width for header.
* Don't use slider but regular number widget for UI scale.
* Gray out animation player path option if player isn't "Custom"
Internal changes:
* Rearrange RNA properties to match changed UI structure.
* Introduces new "EXECUTE" region type, see reasoning in D3982.
* Changes to panel layout and AZone code for dynamic panel region.
* Bumps subversion and does versioning for new regions.
RNA changes are documented in the release notes:

Design & implementation mostly done by @billreynish and myself.

- Remove pathlib use
(was converting to/from string with no real advantage).
- Use user_resource(..., create=True) to ensure the path exists.
- Pass full path to BKE_studiolight_create, don't add extension after.
- Fix 'sl' filtering glob and move from ui code to operator.
- Fix string copy length.
One issue that especially newer users often run into is that they accidentally reset changes to the scene by switching frame without creating a keyframe first.
Therefore, this commit adds a new color that is used to draw properties if their current value differs from the one that would be set when switching to this frame.
This works both for existing keyframes as well as for currently interpolated frames.
Unfortunately the flags in but->flag are full, so I had to move the new flag to but->drawflag and pass that to all relevant functions.
I went with orange for the color since afaics it fits with the green and yellow that are currently used for keyframe states and since it's somewhat reddish to signify that there might be something to look out for here.

There was a bug due to non-aligned struct in the DNA that prevented us
to increase the size of the userdef light array.
Since the studio lights are now presets and stored in external files,
there is no need to keep backward compatibility with theses lights.
Remove the old array and create a new one.
Add blue tint light for specular.
This changes a bit how the userprefs solid lights works. They are not
visible until enabling the "Edit Solid Light" checkbox. Once enabled the
current studiolight used for solid mode will be overwritten.
Once the lighting settings are tweaked, the user can click the
"Save as Studio light" button to save the current settings.
This makes it easy to create new lighting without messing the other
presets.
The studio lights are stored as ASCII files on the disk using a dead
simple custom format.
The UI/UX is not perfect and will be improved in other commits.
Also includes:
* Separate LookDev HDRI selection from Solid Lights
* Hide LookDev HDRIs from the Solid Lights selection list
This is in order to have more flexible ligthing presets in the future.
The diffuse lighting from hdris was nice but lacked the corresponding
specular information. This is an attempt to make it possible to customize
the lighting and have a cheap/easy/nice-looking pseudo-PBR workflow.
* Add cheap PBR to Workbench with fresnel and better roughness support.
This improves the look of the metallic surfaces and is easier to control.
* Add ambient light to studio lights settings: just a constant color added
to the shading.
* Add Smooth option to studio lights settings: This option fakes the
effect of making the light bigger making the lighting smoother for this
light. Smoother lights gets reflected like a background hdri.
* Change default light settings to include the smooth params.
* Remove specular highlights from flat shading. (could be added back but
how do we make it good looking?)
* If specular lighting is disabled, use base color without using metallic.
* Include a lot of code simplification/cleanup/confusion fix.
Implements the first changes for T54115:
* Rename "User Preferences" window to "Settings" in the UI.
We'll likely put workspace settings in there, separate from the global
user settings. System settings should become separate from user
settings in future to allow settings for specific hardware.
* Add sidebar region for navigation (scrolls independently).
Addresses space problems, so we can add more categories as needed now.
* Increase size of Settings window to compensate new navigation bar.
* Group sections into User Preferences and System.
Icons for section groups by Andrzej Ambroz. Thanks!
* Bumps subversion for file compatibility.

I also added categories for future work, but commented them out.
We may also want to redesign contents of each section now.

Grease Pencil already implements support for full-featured
per-brush pressure curves, but it is useful to have some
basic global settings that affect all brushes and tools.
This adds two simple options:
- Raw pressure required to achieve full brush intensity.
- Softness control, using a gamma curve internally.
The most important one is the max pressure setting, because it is
critical for ergonomics, but the Linux Wacom driver lacks it.
The softness option internally converts to gamma = 4^-softness.

For Blender builtin configurations the option to choose the select mouse remains
and is now also in the splash screen. It works by changing the keymap dynamically
in the script, rather than using special events.
The system of automatic switching of events was not flexible enough to deal with
side effects that require further keymap changes, so it is now under more manual
control in the script.
This breaks compatibility for some scripts and exported key configurations.
These can be fixed by replacing SELECTMOUSE, ACTIONMOUSE, EVT_TWEAK_S and
EVT_TWEAK_A with appropriate LEFTMOUSE, RIGHTMOUSE, EVT_TWEAK_L and
EVT_TWEAK_R events.
Other than that, there should be no functional changes.
This should be purely an implementation change,
for end users there should be no functional difference.
The entire key configuration is in one file with ~5000 lines of code.
Mostly avoiding code duplication and preserve comments and utility
functions from the C code.
It's a bit long but for searching and editing it's also convenient to
have it all in one file.
Notes:
- Actual keymap is shared by blender / blender_legacy
and stored in `keymap_data/blender_default.py`
This only generates JSON-like data to be passed into
`keyconfig_import_from_data`, allowing other presets to load and
manipulate the default keymap.
- Each preset defines 'keyconfig_data'
which can be shared between presets.
- Some of the utility functions for generating keymap items still
need to be ported over to Python.
- Some keymap items can be made into loops (marked as TODO).
