Expose a key-map preference "Fallback Tool (RMB)",
disabled by default.
The right mouse button uses the fallback tool
(currently visible selection tool in the toolbar),
instead of always tweaking.
When any selection tool is active, right mouse always tweaks.
To enable fallback selection on RMB, set the "Right Mouse Select Action"
to "Selection Tool".
Internal changes:
- Add fall-back key-maps, separate key-maps needed for when the tool is
run as a fall-back. This is needed so RMB-select can support fall-back
tools, so left-mouse can be used when it's the active tool and RMB
can be used as a fall-back action when another tool is active.
- Add options field to tools so tools without gizmos can enable the
full-back tool keymap.
- Support multiple key-maps for keymap handlers.
- Fall-back keymaps now co-exist with the tool-keymaps.
So both keymaps may be active at once - using different mouse buttons.
When gizmos are in use, a highlighted gizmo prioritizes the
tool-keymap over the fall-back keymap.
Resolves T83690.

Some selection operators return (PASS_THROUGH & FINISHED) so the tweak
event isn't suppressed from the PRESS event having been handled.
This is now restricted to events with a PRESS action.
Without this, using CLICK for selection was passing the event through
which could run other actions unintentionally.
Change KeyMapItem.alt/ctrl/shift/oskey to integer types,
where -1 is used to ignore the modifier when matching key-map items.
It was only possible to set all modifiers to -1 at once from RNA
using the 'any' property.
Afterwards individual modifiers could be set back to true/false.
Although these key-map items could not be exported/imported.
Exposing the values directly avoids the need for cumbersome workarounds.
These were added in a1c8543f2a (2007)
but never used.
Nor did they have any meaning in practice.
Note that versioning keymap items isn't needed as these values were
never set. The code-paths that set these values also set KM_MOD_FIRST
causing `keymap_event_set` to only ever assign values of 0 or 1.
These flags complicate further exposing KM_ANY (-1)
which is also a valid value for modifiers.
Support waiting for input so operators that depend on the
cursor location are usable from menus / buttons.
Use an operator type flag which the user interface code checks for,
waiting for input when run from a menu item.
This patch only supports this feature, there are no functional changes.
The motivation for this change is discoverability since some actions
were either hidden or broken when accessed from menus
(where the behavior of the operator depended on the menu location).
In general, waiting for input is *not* an efficient way to access tools,
however there are over 50 operators with a "wait_for_input" property
so this isn't introducing a new kind of interaction,
rather exposing this in a way that does not need to be hard-coded into
each operator, or having modal callbacks added for the sole purpose
of waiting for input.
Besides requiring boiler plate code using a "wait_for_input" property
has the added down-side of preventing key shortcuts from showing.
Only the menu items will enable the property,
causing them not to match key-map items.

Add needed extra flag and utils to IDType to mark and check an ID type
as only appendable.
Note that this is only a loose user-level enforcement currently, in any
case you need to be able to link an ID to append it currently, so for
low-level code this does not really matter.
Currently only WorkSpace and Screen ID types are marked with the new
`IDTYPE_FLAGS_ONLY_APPEND` flag.
Mixing testing and actual action in a single function is just not a good
way to do things, and the 'testing' feature is not used anywhere
anymore, time to get rid of it.
This flag became a full duplicate of `IDTYPE_FLAGS_NO_LIBLINKING`, which
is a good thing (don't think we ever want to be able to link some data,
without being able to make it local...).
So we can now remove it and use `IDTYPE_FLAGS_NO_LIBLINKING` instead.
Scene and related pointer parameter can be NULL in link/append code, in
which case there is no instantiation of new objects/collections/obdata.
Link code in blendloader was already checking that, new instantiation
code in WM area from yesterday did not.

This allows a hack to be removed that temporarily overwrote
the 3D views gizmo display flag.
Also reverse change from fb27a9bb98
that runs poll on modal gizmo groups as there is some risk
that the poll function unlinks the gizmo.
Follow up to fix for T73684,
which allowed some modal gizmos to hide all others.
Also resolve an issue from 917a972b56
where shear the shear gizmo would be visible during interaction.
Internally there are some changes to gizmo behavior
- The gizmo with modal interaction wont draw if it's poll function fails.
- The WM_GIZMOGROUPTYPE_DRAW_MODAL_ALL flag now causes these gizmo
groups to draw when another group is being interacted with.
This commit fully refactors the way linked IDs are made local when
appended.
Previously, `BKE_library_make_local` was (ab)used for this task, but it
was missing some contextual data and doing complex processing to try to
work around this, with limited sucess. Further more, it was nearly
impossibe to extend (e.g. to get new append behaviors necessary for the
asset project).
The new code is a dedicated append step in WM linking process.
NOTE: BPY API (`libray.load()` context manager) uses its own code here,
which still relies on `BKE_library_make_local` for appending.
Unfortunately, merging those two different code paths is not trivial so
for now this API will remain unchanged.
Fix T55629: Append already linked Data is impossible.

This was implemented in {rB14d56b4217f8} but was never working for
tools/operators other than the sculpt line mask tool.
To be precise, the preview actually snapped but the operations (e.g.
mesh bisect, vertex weight gradient) still happened "unsnapped" in
modal. For the sculpt line mask tool this wasnt a problem, because it
only draws a preview while modal, the actual mask was only applied
later.
This solves part one of T91320 (snapping), sculpting also introduced
flipping in {rB7ff6bfd1e0af} which does not make much sense for all
tools, but in bisect this could actually be supported, will add that in
a separate Diff.

Addresses T76082.
Since the DirectX backend does not work for AMD gpus
(wglDXRegisterObjectNV() fails to register the shared OpenGL-DirectX
render buffer, displaying a pink screen to the user), the original
solution was to use SteamVR's OpenGL backend, which, as tested
recently, seems to work without any issues on AMD hardware.
However, the SteamVR OpenGL backend (on Windows) was disabled in
fe492d922d since it resulted in crashes with NVIDIA gpus (and still
crashes, as tested recently), so SteamVR would always use the
AMD-incompatible DirectX backend (on Windows).
This patch restores use of the SteamVR OpenGL backend for non-NVIDIA
(AMD, etc.) gpus while maintaining the DirectX workaround for NVIDIA
gpus. In this way, issues are still resolved on the NVIDIA side but
AMD users can once again use the SteamVR runtime, which may be their
only viable option of using Blender in VR.

Part of fix for T90723.
This reverts 151eed752b. Originally thought it was necessary to
initialize selected/active indices to -1 to prevent out-of-bounds
list access, but this is not needed since null checks are already
performed after obtaining list members via BLI_findlink().
In addition, leaving indices zero-initialized facilitates use of the
Python API, for example when displaying action map information in a
UI list.
Add null check for runtime data since it could already have been
freed via wm_xr_exit() (called on file read) prior to the session
exit callback.
Also, fix potential memory leak by freeing session data in
wm_xr_runtime_data_free() instead of session exit callback.
This fixes two memory leaks related to XR action maps.
1. Freeing of action maps needs to be moved from wm_xr_exit() to
wm_xr_runtime_data_free() since the runtime may have already been
freed when calling wm_xr_exit().
2. Action bindings for action map items were not being freed. This
was mistakenly left out of e844e9e8f3 since the patch needed to be
updated after d3d4be1db3.
Compressing blendfiles can help save a lot of disk space, but the slowdown
while loading and saving is a major annoyance.
Currently Blender uses Zlib (aka gzip aka Deflate) for compression, but there
are now several more modern algorithms that outperform it in every way.
In this patch, I decided for Zstandard aka Zstd for several reasons:
- It is widely supported, both in other programs and libraries as well as in
general-purpose compression utilities on Unix
- It is extremely flexible - spanning several orders of magnitude of
compression speeds depending on the level setting.
- It is pretty much on the Pareto frontier for all of its configurations
(meaning that no other algorithm is both faster and more efficient).
One downside of course is that older versions of Blender will not be able to
read these files, but one can always just re-save them without compression or
decompress the file manually with an external tool.
The implementation here saves additional metadata into the compressed file in
order to allow for efficient seeking when loading. This is standard-compliant
and will be ignored by other tools that support Zstd.
If the metadata is not present (e.g. because you manually compressed a .blend
file with another tool), Blender will fall back to sequential reading.
Saving is multithreaded to improve performance. Loading is currently not
multithreaded since it's not easy to predict the access patterns of the
loading code when seeking is supported.
In the future, we might want to look into making this more predictable or
disabling seeking for the main .blend file, which would then allow for
multiple background threads that decompress data ahead of time.
The compression level was chosen to get sizes comparable to previous versions
at much higher speeds. In the future, this could be exposed as an option.

This addresses reduced visibility of scenes (as displayed in the VR
headset) that can result from the 8-bit color depth format currently
used for XR swapchain images.
By switching to a swapchain format with higher color depth (RGB10_A2,
RGBA16, RGBA16F) for supported runtimes, visibility in VR should be
noticeably improved.
However, current limitations are lack of support for these higher
color depth formats by some XR runtimes, especially for OpenGL.
Also important to note that GPU_offscreen_create() now explicitly
takes in the texture format (eGPUTextureFormat) instead of a
"high_bitdepth" boolean.
