Currently if a panel becomes empty (draw simply returns), it stays
at the last non-empty height. This seems to be caused by some legacy
checks that may be completely obsolete, but the safest fix is to at
least allow resetting height when the panel is open.
Use a default update function for user preferences that tags
dirty and redraws (if changed).
This avoids relying on button changes which fail in some cases.
Previously, if a boolean happened to use an icon there was no way
to make it display as a check-box from Python scripts.
The previous logic meant we ended up having to edit the RNA.
Since booleans with icons don't work well with the split-property layout
(now used for most of the interface).
Icons were being removed from RNA then added back using awkward Python
ternary expressions in the interface scripts.
The toggle argument now has an unset state (-1).
- toggle=True: no checkbox (emboss).
- toggle=False: always use a checkbox (no icon).
- toggle=(unset/-1): depends on the icon status, default as before.
Since toggle=False was default, this isn't used in existing UI logic.
The outliner should not be the only way for users to change these settings.
The Python API was extended to keep these properties positive and keyframable.

The goal is to prevent assignment of temporary or evaluated meshes
to objects from the main database.
Majority of the change is actually related on passing reports around.
On a positive side there are more error prints which can become more
visible to scripters.
There are still possible further improvements in the related areas.
For example, disable user counting for evaluated ID datablocks when
assignment happens. But can also happen later on as a separate
improvement.

* Change circle to roundbox around active icons, so they don't overflow.
* Change text color to indicate selected and active state.

This also makes `IDP_CopyProperty` the "opposite"
of `IDP_FreeProperty`, which is what I'd expect.
Two refactoring steps:
* rename IDP_FreeProperty to IDP_FreePropertyContent
* new IDP_FreeProperty function that actually frees the property

When normally editing curves, deleting the last keyframe also
deletes the curve. Thus if for some reason it didn't happen,
e.g. maybe due to removing keys directly via Python, skip the
bad curve instead of resetting the channel to zero.
The complexity in this patch comes from the fact
that the current operator system does not support
multi-step user interactions well.
More specifically, for this to work, we need to show
a confirm dialog and a file browser afterwards.
We decided that it is easier to keep everything in
a single operator, instead of creating separate
operators that invoke each other.
So, now the `WM_OT_open_mainfile` operator invokes
itself in different states. It implements a simple
finite state machine to manage the states.
The dialog itself is expected to be improved in
a future commit. See D4829 for more details.

Tagging dirty was failing for UI scale, line width, hinting & others.
Checking for an update function means all update functions
need to tag preferences as dirty.
Since this check was added to prevent the active section marking the
preferences as dirty, only exclude this property.
This patch fixes an issue with the ColorRamp overflowing its drawing bounds

All buttons will get their own block's `func` by default, this cannot be
considered an error, do not assert in that case either.
Fixes bunch of very annoying asserts e.g. when using FBX exporter...

Visibility Options
==================
We are adding more granular control over restriction columns in the outliner,
exposing "indirect only" and "holdout" as options, and change the way
users enable/disable collections in a viewlayer.
We also rename the object viewport restriction to hide instance.
So the options we have are:
Collection
----------
* Render Visibility
* Instance Visibility
* Selectable
(View) Layer Collection
-----------------------
* Enable
* Holdout
* Indirect Only
* Viewport
Shortcuts
=========
Isolate Collection
------------------
* Ctr + click isolates the collection.
It turns all its parents and children "visible", and all the other
collections "invisible".
If ALL the collections were already properly set, we re-set the
collections to their default value.
Set Collection Inside Collections and Objects
---------------------------------------------
* Shift + click: Set/unset inside collections and objects.
We only set objects values as well when we are in View Layer mode and
(obviously) when the objects have a matching property.
Icons
=====
Little reminder that we will need better icons for holdout, indirect only, and
probably instanced (nothing wrong with the current, but it differs from
the proposal when it is turned off).
Also, we need to decide where do we want the modifier/bones/... icons to
be (in which column) and ideally make sure their icons match the ones we
use for collections/objects.
At the moment those are using the screen icon, which is not being used
by collections.

Internally tool settings have been moved to the 3D view.
Added the ability for to draw panels from another space/region
so they can be mirrored in the properties editor.
This makes the properties editor navigation bar less saturated. Internally
the icon theme coloring was refactored a bit to move more towards the button
drawing code.
