The name SAFE_AREAS_OT_preset_add lead to "Safe Areas" having it's own
section in the operator API docs. Name CAMERA_OT_safe_areas_preset_add
instead. Keep "safe_areas" as the preset directory for users with
existing presets.
A proper boolean custom property type is commonly requested. This
commit simply adds a new `IDP_BOOLEAN` type that can be used for
boolean and boolean array custom properties. This can also be used
for exposing boolean node sockets in the geometry nodes modifier.
I've just extended the places existing IDProperty types are used, and
tested with the custom property edit operator and the python console.
Adding another IDProperty type is a straightforward extension of the
existing design.

An apostrophe should not be used because it is not a mark of plural,

There are two underlying issues which got uncovered by the report:
First, is that the poll() function for the operator was using legacy
API which is on its way of removal in the next major version release.
This part is fixed in this patch based on a patch provided by Philipp
Oeser (P3389) with the modification that the `clip` is not accessed
prior to None check. Ended up in a bit annoying one-liner, the entire
function could be refactored to use early returns.
The second issue is that the Python access to the legacy property
was wrong: need to access camera reconstruction instead of accessing
deprecated DNA field.
Improve a few messages, but mostly fix typos in many areas of the UI.
See inline comments in the differential revisiion for the rationale
behind the various changes.

With the asset identifier introduced in the previous commit, we can now
locate an asset just from its `AssetRepresentation`, without requiring
information from the asset library and the file browser storage. With
this we can remove some hacks and function parameters. A RNA/BPY
function is also affected, but I didn't remove the paramter to keep
compatibility. It's simply ignored and not required anymore, noted this
in the parameter description (noted for T102877).
When applying the "Bake Action" operator in pose mode
it could throw an error saying "Nothing to Bake"
even though bones are selected
That is because the code was looking for a selected armature
But in Pose Mode, clicking into empty space to de-select would also
deselect the armature.
Then box selecting would not make the armature selected again

I18n: make a few messages translatable
* Missing Paths * in the Presets menu when no preset exists yet.
The White Noise entry in the Add Node menu is the only one lacking a "Texture" suffix, which doesn't seem justified since the node itself is already called "White Noise Texture". Rename the entry its name can be extracted and used for the node--and for consistency.
New object material node names (Principled BSDF, Material Output) come from a preset node tree. The nodes' names need to be translated after creation.

The property assignment operators' tooltips were never actually

for users to know which back-end was being used.
Include the windowing environment in the About splash & system-info.txt

This adds support for showing geometry passed to the Viewer in the 3d
viewport (instead of just in the spreadsheet). The "viewer geometry"
bypasses the group output. So it is not necessary to change the final
output of the node group to be able to see the intermediate geometry.
**Activation and deactivation of a viewer node**
* A viewer node is activated by clicking on it.
* Ctrl+shift+click on any node/socket connects it to the viewer and
makes it active.
* Ctrl+shift+click in empty space deactivates the active viewer.
* When the active viewer is not visible anymore (e.g. another object
is selected, or the current node group is exit), it is deactivated.
* Clicking on the icon in the header of the Viewer node toggles whether
its active or not.
**Pinning**
* The spreadsheet still allows pinning the active viewer as before.
When pinned, the spreadsheet still references the viewer node even
when it becomes inactive.
* The viewport does not support pinning at the moment. It always shows
the active viewer.
**Attribute**
* When a field is linked to the second input of the viewer node it is
displayed as an overlay in the viewport.
* When possible the correct domain for the attribute is determined
automatically. This does not work in all cases. It falls back to the
face corner domain on meshes and the point domain on curves. When
necessary, the domain can be picked manually.
* The spreadsheet now only shows the "Viewer" column for the domain
that is selected in the Viewer node.
* Instance attributes are visualized as a constant color per instance.
**Viewport Options**
* The attribute overlay opacity can be controlled with the "Viewer Node"
setting in the overlays popover.
* A viewport can be configured not to show intermediate viewer-geometry
by disabling the "Viewer Node" option in the "View" menu.
**Implementation Details**
* The "spreadsheet context path" was generalized to a "viewer path" that
is used in more places now.
* The viewer node itself determines the attribute domain, evaluates the
field and stores the result in a `.viewer` attribute.
* A new "viewer attribute' overlay displays the data from the `.viewer`
attribute.
* The ground truth for the active viewer node is stored in the workspace
now. Node editors, spreadsheets and viewports retrieve the active
viewer from there unless they are pinned.
* The depsgraph object iterator has a new "viewer path" setting. When set,
the viewed geometry of the corresponding object is part of the iterator
instead of the final evaluated geometry.
* To support the instance attribute overlay `DupliObject` was extended
to contain the information necessary for drawing the overlay.
* The ctrl+shift+click operator has been refactored so that it can make
existing links to viewers active again.
* The auto-domain-detection in the Viewer node works by checking the
"preferred domain" for every field input. If there is not exactly one
preferred domain, the fallback is used.
Known limitations:
* Loose edges of meshes don't have the attribute overlay. This could be
added separately if necessary.
* Some attributes are hard to visualize as a color directly. For example,
the values might have to be normalized or some should be drawn as arrays.
For now, we encourage users to build node groups that generate appropriate
viewer-geometry. We might include some of that functionality in future versions.
Support for displaying attribute values as text in the viewport is planned as well.
* There seems to be an issue with the attribute overlay for pointclouds on
nvidia gpus, to be investigated.

Currently node group assets are supported, but using them by dragging
from the asset browser is cumbersome. This patch adds all node group
assets from user asset libraries and the current file libraries to the
add node search menu and the link drag search menu.
Node groups added through the search will have their "options" hidden,
meaning the data-block selector is displayed. This helps keep the UI
clean, and the selector shouldn't be necessary anyway.
To make that possible, metadata like the node tree type and its inputs
and outputs has to be saved in the file. This requires re-saving the
files that contain the assets with the patch applied.
The node add search operator is moved from Python to C++ to ease
development and allow more flexibility. It supports a tooltip that
gives the description of assets.
Currently the node groups are added with the asset system's existing
"Append & Reuse" behavior. It's likely that linking should be possible
in the future too, but for now the idea is to use the more foolproof
option that doesn't create dependencies between files.
Because loading assets can potentially take a long time, the search
menu refreshes its items as new assets are loaded. However, changing
the search field is necessary to see the update.

All of the operators in vertex paint mode didn't work properly with
the new color attribute system. They only worked on byte color type
attributes on the face corner domain.
Since there are four possible combinations of domains and types now,
it mostly ended up being simpler to convert the code to C++ and use
the geometry component API for retrieving attributes, interpolating
between domains, etc. The code changes ended up being fairly large,
but the result should be simpler now.
