Some operations, e.g. adding a new action strip to NLA, require
knowing the active frame range of an action. However, currently it
can only be deduced by scanning the keyframes of the curves within
it. This is not ideal if e.g. curves are staggered for overlap.
As suggested by Nathan Vegdahl in comments to T54724, this patch adds
Action properties that allow manually specifying its active frame range.
The settings are exposed via a panel in the Dopesheet and Action Editor.
When enabled, the range is highlighted in the background using a striped
fill to distinguish it from the solid filled regular playback range.
When set, the frame range is used when adding or updating NLA tracks,
and by add-ons using `Action.frame_range`, e.g. FBX exporter.

Add a new 'selected_visible_actions' property to allow querying
actions that are selected in animation related editors for use in
UI and operators. The 'selected_editable_actions' variant excludes
linked actions (the only reason an action can be read-only).
In the Action and Shape Key editors there is only one action
that is specified by the field at the top of the editor.
In Dope Sheet it scans the channel rows and returns all actions
related to the selected items. This includes summary items for
actions and groups.
In Graph Editor, it lists actions associated with selected curves.
The new property is also used for Copy To Selected and Alt-Click.
Ref D11803
Own mistake when making NLA overridable, instead of assuming things
about the ID owner of the animation data being processed, properly
return and use the one found by `ED_actedit_animdata_from_context`.
Selection was already accessible but not active.
Add utility functions:
- ANIM_nla_context_track to access the active track,
following the convention of ANIM_nla_context_strip.
- ANIM_nla_context_*_ptr versions of these functions,
needed to for creating context members to access the ID pointer.
Part of fix for T90723.
This patch implements the list panel system D7490 for FCurve modifiers.
The UI layouts are updated to make use of subpanels and to be consistent
with the rest of the interface, and easier to understand.
See the differential revision for screenshots.
This commit also significantly cleans up the FModifier UI code, and
improves, mainly by replacing the old button creation code is with
the newer interface API using RNA. In turn there is a bit of complexity
added because each FModifier has a separate panel.
Although reordering of FModifiers was not implemented before, we get
drag and drop basically for free here, so it is also included.
As noted in some older to do tasks, FModifiers aren't evaluated
in perfect order, which may be a point of improvement for the future.

Split up `ANIM_deselect_anim_channels()` into
`ANIM_anim_channels_select_set()` and
`ANIM_anim_channels_select_toggle()`.
`ANIM_anim_channels_select_set()` is equivalent to the old
`ANIM_deselect_anim_channels(..., false, ACHANNEL_SETFLAG_xxx)`.
`ANIM_anim_channels_select_toggle()` is equivalent to the old
`ANIM_deselect_anim_channels(..., true, ACHANNEL_SETFLAG_ADD)`.
`ANIM_deselect_anim_channels(..., true, ACHANNEL_SETFLAG_CLEAR)` was
also called once. The `true` parameter suggested the "toggle" behaviour
was intended, but the `ACHANNEL_SETFLAG_CLEAR` argument prevented any
toggling. This is now replaced with `ANIM_anim_channels_select_set(ac,
ACHANNEL_SETFLAG_CLEAR)` to make this explicit.
No functional changes, just a cleanup in order to better understand how
the selection works.
This replaces header include guards with `#pragma once`.
A couple of include guards are not removed yet (e.g. `__RNA_TYPES_H__`),
because they are used in other places.
This patch has been generated by P1561 followed by `make format`.

Custom driver functions need access to the dependency graph that is
triggering the evaluation of the driver. This patch passes the
dependency graph pointer through all the animation-related calls.
Instead of passing the evaluation time to functions, the code now passes
an `AnimationEvalContext` pointer:
```
typedef struct AnimationEvalContext {
struct Depsgraph *const depsgraph;
const float eval_time;
} AnimationEvalContext;
```
These structs are read-only, meaning that the code cannot change the
evaluation time. Note that the `depsgraph` pointer itself is const, but
it points to a non-const depsgraph.
FCurves and Drivers can be evaluated at a different time than the
current scene time, for example when evaluating NLA strips. This means
that, even though the current time is stored in the dependency graph, we
need an explicit evaluation time.
There are two functions that allow creation of `AnimationEvalContext`
objects:
- `BKE_animsys_eval_context_construct(Depsgraph *depsgraph, float
eval_time)`, which creates a new context object from scratch, and
- `BKE_animsys_eval_context_construct_at(AnimationEvalContext
*anim_eval_context, float eval_time)`, which can be used to create a
`AnimationEvalContext` with the same depsgraph, but at a different
time. This makes it possible to later add fields without changing any
of the code that just want to change the eval time.
This also provides a fix for T75553, although it does require a change
to the custom driver function. The driver should call
`custom_function(depsgraph)`, and the function should use that depsgraph
instead of information from `bpy.context`.

When playing back animations a playhead is updated in all the animation editors.
The drawing of the playhead is part of the drawing of the main region
`RGN_TYPE_WINDOW` that redraws the whole region.
This change will draw the play head and window scrollers when updating the
screen. This affects the Action editor, Timeline, Graph editor, NLA editor and
Sequence editor. There is noticeable speedup when using complex animation files.
Spring 02_020_A.anim.blend fps went from 11.8 to 12.5 when showing a timeline
and a action editor on a Ryzen 1700.
* When playing back animation the markers don't jump up/down when near the
frame. This could be added back.

Follow up of b2ee1770d4 and 10c2254d41, part of T74432.
Now the area and region naming conventions should be less confusing.
Mostly a careful batch rename but had to do few smaller fixes.
Also ran clang-format on affected files.
The old convention was easy to confuse with ScrArea.
Part of https://developer.blender.org/T74432.
This is mostly a batch rename with some manual fixing. Only single word
variable names are changed, no prefixed/suffixed names.
Brecht van Lommel and Campbell Barton both gave me a green light for
this convention change.
Also ran clan clang format on affected files.
This change makes it so motion paths are using minimal possible
dependency graph which is sufficient to evaluate required motion
path targets.
Disclaimer: granularity is done on ID level, but it is possible
to go more granular if really needed.

The main reason for this change is to allow setting the
active frame with the left mouse button, while still being
able to select e.g. keyframes with the same mouse button.
The solution is to introduce a new scrubbing region with
a specialized keymap. There are a couple of related todos,
that will be handled in separate commits.
Those are listed in D4654.
This solves T63193.

At first you could think that this refactor would not be
necessary, because `ACHANNEL_FIRST` exists already.
It contained the small y offset that all channels had.
Unfortunately, a lot of code assumed that
`ACHANNEL_FIRST = -ACHANNEL_HEIGHT`, making the
define pretty much useless. This refactor fixes that
for the action and nla editor.
As a nice side effect, this patch fixes channel box select.
Before there was always have a half-channel offset.

Having this in blenkernel caused bad level calls to bf_editors_anim,
causing tests that use 'blenkernel' to require almost all libraries.
(complicating gtest linking & causing large binaries).
Instead of only `ymin` and `ymax`, `ANIM_channel_draw_widgets`
has a rectangle as input now.
This allows the caller to set a custom width for the channel.
Some space types need the extra space for the scrollbar
(drivers, graph), but the other don't have a scrollbar.
