This patch adds support for:
- Per space-type tools (3D view and edit).
- Per mode tools (object, edit, weight-paint .. etc).
The top-bar shows the last activated tools options, this is a design
issue with using a global topbar to show per-space settings.
See D3395
== Main Features/Changes for Users
* Add horizontal bar at top of all non-temp windows, consisting out of two horizontal sub-bars.
* Upper sub-bar contains global menus (File, Render, etc.), tabs for workspaces and scene selector.
* Lower sub-bar contains object mode selector, screen-layout and render-layer selector. Later operator and/or tool settings will be placed here.
* Individual sections of the topbar are individually scrollable.
* Workspace tabs can be double- or ctrl-clicked for renaming and contain 'x' icon for deleting.
* Top-bar should scale nicely with DPI.
* The lower half of the top-bar can be hided by dragging the lower top-bar edge up. Better hiding options are planned (e.g. hide in fullscreen modes).
* Info editors at the top of the window and using the full window width with be replaced by the top-bar.
* In fullscreen modes, no more info editor is added on top, the top-bar replaces it.
== Technical Features/Changes
* Adds initial support for global areas
A global area is part of the window, not part of the regular screen-layout.
I've added a macro iterator to iterate over both, global and screen-layout level areas. When iterating over areas, from now on developers should always consider if they have to include global areas.
* Adds a TOPBAR editor type
The editor type is hidden in the UI editor type menu.
* Adds a variation of the ID template to display IDs as tab buttons (template_ID_tabs in BPY)
* Does various changes to RNA button creation code to improve their appearance in the horizontal top-bar.
* Adds support for dynamically sized regions. That is, regions that scale automatically to the layout bounds.
The code for this is currently a big hack (it's based on drawing the UI multiple times). This should definitely be improved.
* Adds a template for displaying operator properties optimized for the top-bar. This will probably change a lot still and is in fact disabled in code.
Since the final top-bar design depends a lot on other 2.8 designs (mainly tool-system and workspaces), we decided to not show the operator or tool settings in the top-bar for now. That means most of the lower sub-bar is empty for the time being.
NOTE: Top-bar or global area data is not written to files or SDNA. They are simply added to the window when opening Blender or reading a file. This allows us doing changes to the top-bar without having to care for compatibility.
== ToDo's
It's a bit hard to predict all the ToDo's here are the known main ones:
* Add options for the new active-tool system and for operator redo to the topbar.
* Automatically hide the top-bar in fullscreen modes.
* General visual polish.
* Top-bar drag & drop support (WIP in temp-tab_drag_drop).
* Improve dynamic regions (should also fix some layout glitches).
* Make internal terminology consistent.
* Enable topbar file writing once design is more advanced.
* Address TODO's and XXX's in code :)
Thanks @brecht for the review! And @sergey for the complaining ;)

- Undo that changes modes currently asserts,
since undo is now screen data.
Most likely we will change how object mode and workspaces work
since it's not practical/maintainable at the moment.
- Removed view_layer from particle settings
(wasn't needed and complicated undo).
- See `--log` help message for usage.
- Supports enabling categories.
- Color severity.
- Optionally logs to a file.
- Currently use to replace printf calls in wm module.
See D3120 for details.
This includes a few modification:
- The biggest one is call glActiveTexture before doing any call to
glBindTexture for rendering purpose (uniform value depends on it).
This is also better to know what's going on when rendering UI. So if
there is missing UI elements because of this commit look for this first.
This allows us to have "less calls" to glActiveTexture (I did not
measure the final count) and less checks inside GPU_texture.
- Remove use of GL_TEXTURE0 as a uniform value in a few places.
- Be more strict and use BLI_assert for bad usage of GPU_texture functions.
- Disable filtering for integer and stencil textures (not supported by
OGL specs).
- Replace bools inside GPUTexture by a bitflag supporting more options to
identify texture types.
* Pressing "OK" wouldn't close Blender anymore
* Using File -> Quit would use popup version, not OS native window
Cleaned up code a bit to avoid duplicated logic.
You only had to close Blender through File -> Quit.
Leaks happened because WM_exit() was called from within operator, UI wasn't able
to free some of it's heap data then. This data was the handler added in
uiTemplateRunningJobs() and the IDProperty group added in uiItemFullO_ptr_ex().
There was obviously a general design issue which only became visible in this
specific case.
We now delay the WM_exit call by wrapping it into a handler that gets registered
as usual. I didn't see a better way to do this, all tricks done in
ui_apply_but_funcs_after() to prevent leaks didn't work here. In fact they may
be redundant now, but am not brave enough to try ;)
When adding scene strips to the sequencer, the wrong scenes were
getting getting added if some were skipped. For example:
Given 4 scenes (A, B, C, D) if you're trying to add the last 3 scenes
(B, C, D) as strips to the first scene (A), it would ended up adding
"A, B, C" instead of "B, C, D" as expected.
Fix provided by Andrew (signal9).
This solves issue with tweaking brush size when interleaving particle edit
and texture paint modes. The issue was caused by texture paing setting more
operator properties then it's done for particle edit mode, which made window
manager to use saved proeprties for the "missing" ones.
Don't see any reason why we would want to save any of those properties.
This is a regression since rB83b60dac57a1.
This will later be used to show advanced operator properties separate from
basic (as in non-advanced) ones in the UI.
Tagging a single operator property in C should be done via
`WM_operatortype_prop_tag()`. It does additional checks for type safety
that `RNA_def_property_tags()` doesn't do.
To avoid having to tag each advanced property individually, multiple
ones can be tagged by wrapping them into
`WM_operatortype_props_advanced_bein()` and
`WM_operatortype_props_advanced_end()` calls. It's also possible to only
call `_begin()`, all properties added after this will get tagged then.
In most cases this last approach should be sufficient.
Example of Python usage:
`my_float = bpy.props.FloatProperty(name="Some Float", tags={'ADVANCED'})`
The RenderResult struct still has a listbase of RenderLayer, but that's ok
since this is strictly for rendering.
* Subversion bump (to 2.80.2)
* DNA low level doversion (renames) - only for .blend created since 2.80 started
Note: We can't use DNA_struct_elem_find or get file version in init_structDNA,
so we are manually iterating over the array of the SDNA elements instead.
Note 2: This doversion change with renames can be reverted in a few months. But
so far it's required for 2.8 files created between October 2016 and now.

This is a final step of having proper ownership. Now selecting different
layers in the "top bar" will actually do what this is expected to do.
Surely, there are still things to be done under the hood, that will happen
in a less intrusive way.
This makes code closer to id_override/assent-engine ones, which
introduce a new type of linked data, and hence reserve
ID_IS_LINKED_DATABLOCK to real linked datablocks.
This is a lots of changes, but they are boiling down to a simple API
changes where we are no longer relying on implicit usage of scene's
depsgraph and pass depsgraph explicitly.
There should be no user measurable difference, render_layer* tests
are also passing.
The tool-system it's self is primitive and may be changed.
Adding to 2.8 to develop operators and manipulators as tools.
Currently this is exposed in the toolbar, collapsed by default.
Work-flow remains unchanged if you don't change the active tool.
Placing the 3D cursor is now a Click instead of a Press event,
this allows tweak events to be mapped to tools such as border select,
keeping click for 3D cursor placement when selection tools are set.
