* ID pointer returned by `wm_file_link_append_datablock_ex` was
improperly extracted from `WMLinkAppendDataItem` before append step.
* Code deleting linked IDs when their local matching version was re-used
did not properly clear `LIB_TAG_DOIT` beforehand.
There is no reason to lock behavior into a specific configuration in
those calls, make them properly configurable like the rest of the
link/append code.
This also enable users of those functions to activate 'ID reuse'
behavior.
in asset context, when user drag & drop a material several time, they
would still expect to re-use existing one instead of getting new copies
of it, even if this material is directly appended (and not an indirect
dependency of an object e.g.).
Flags controlling link/append code are split between two enums, one in
`DNA_space_types.h` and one in `BLO_readfile.h`.
This commit:
- Moves flags exclusively used in WM and BLO code to `eBLOLibLinkFlags`
in `BLO_readfile.h`. Flags in `eFileSel_Params_Flag` from
`DNA_space_types.h` are now only the ones effectively used by the
file browser editor code too.
- Fixes some internal utils in `readfile.c` still taking `short` flag
parameter instead of proper `int` one.
NOTE: there are a few other flags that could probably be moved to
`eBLOLibLinkFlags` (at the very least `FILE_LINK`, probably also
`FILE_AUTOSELECT` and `FILE_ACTIVE_COLLECTION`), since those are not
effectively used by the file browser, and control linking/appending
behavior, not filebrowser behavior.
However for now think it's safer to not touch that.
This commit adds to ID struct a new optional 'weak reference' to a
linked ID (in the form of a blend file library path and full ID name).
This can then be used on next append to try to find a matching local ID
instead of re-making the linked data local again.

NOTE: ID re-use will be disabled for regular append for the time being
(3.0 release), and only used for assets. Therefore, this commit should
not change anything user-wise.

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.
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.
Issue introduced by rB3be5ce4aad5e.
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.
There was already some code for that, but it was broken, and proper
resync was completely missing.
There might still be more resync needed in library linking operators
though.
This reverts commit rB3a48147b8ab92, and fixes the issues with linking
etc.
Change compared to previous buggy commit (rBf8d219dfd4c31) is that
new `BlendFileReadReports` reports are now passed to the lowest level
function generating the `FileData` (`filedata_new()`), which ensures
(and asserts) that all code using it does have a valid non-NULL pointer
to a `BlendFileReadReport` data.
Sorry for the noise, it's always when you think a change is trivial and
do not test it well enough that you end up doing those kind of
mistakes...
This patch fixes many minor spelling mistakes, all in comments or
console output. Mostly contractions like can't, won't, don't, its/it's,
etc.

Note: Linking in this case as in link vs. append. Easily confused with linking
a data-block to multiple usages (e.g. single material used by multiple
objects).
Adds a drop-down to the Asset Browser header to choose between Link and Append.
This is probably gonna be a temporary place, T54642 shows where this could be
placed eventually.
Linking support is crucial for usage of the asset browser in production
environments. It just wasn't enabled yet because a) the asset project currently
focuses on single user, not production assets, and b) because there were many
unkowns still for the workflow that have big impact on production use as well.
With the recently held asset workshop I'm more confident with enabling linking,
as design ideas relevant to production use were confirmed.

The `MAX_LIBARRAY` define was an annoying doublon to the `INDEX_ID_MAX` enum value
now defined in `DNA_ID.h`, and it is no more useful.
And comments were somewhat outdated. Also added an explanation about
chosen order for the `INDEX_ID_<IDTYPE>` order.
Changes include using proper and consistent grammar, simplifying
phrasing, using correct terminology, and not including python API
identifiers in tooltips.

`WM_operator_properties_filesel()` allows C operators to set a display or sort
type for the File Browser to use. But the File Browser would always override
that because of an invalid `_is_set()` check. (The operators don't actually set
the value, they only set the property's default value.)
The only operator affected by this is "Recover Auto Save". It is supposed to
show a vertical list ordered chronologically. It used settings from the
previous File Browser usage before this patch.
Operators using the File Browser should generally use
`FILE_DEFAULTDISPLAY`/`FILE_SORT_DEFAULT` now, except if they have a reason not
to. See comments at their definition.
----
This makes it so operators that set a different display or sort type
don't change the sort or display type for the next File Browser operation.
So using "Recover Auto Save" entirely isolates display and sort type from other
operations.

We have our own assert implementation, `BLI_assert()` that is prefered over the
C standard library one. Its output is more consistent across compilers and
makes termination on assert failure optional (through `WITH_ASSERT_ABORT`).
In many places we'd include the C library header without ever accessing it.
This patch supports instantiating object data on append/link,
reported as a bug T58304.
This is an option, available when linking/appending,
similar to the existing "Instance Collections" option.

Move arguments to BLO_library_link_{begin/named_part/end} into
a single parameter struct, to ensure arguments always match.
This allows is to skip tagging ID's LIB_TAG_DOIT when it's not needed,
previously it was always cleared just in case it was needed.
This also makes it possible to remove BLO_library_link_named_part_ex
which was only used when tagging was needed.
This addresses warnings from Clang-Tidy's `readability-else-after-return`

No functional changes.
Pretty straight-forward, although it does not rebuild relationships
(this is a heavy process we do not want to automate for now, will be a
separate operator in near future).

There's a chance that this causes some issues becaue in some cases we
change from getting the window from context to getting it from somewhere
else.
This commit affects `id_sort_by_name()` and `check_for_dupid()` helper:
* Add a new parameter, `ID *id_sorting_hint`, to `id_sort_by_name()`,
and when non-NULL, check if we can insert `id` immediately before or
after it. This can dramatically reduce time spent in that function.
* Use loop over whole list in `check_for_dupid()` to also define the
likely ID pointer that will be neighbor with our new one.
This gives another decent speedup to all massive addition cases:
| Number and type of names of IDs | old code | new code | speed improvement |
| -------------------------------- | -------- | -------- | ----------------- |
| 40K, mixed (14k rand, 26k const) | 39s | 33s | 18% |
| 40K, fully random | 51s | 42s | 21% |
| 40K, fully constant | 40s | 34s | 18% |
Combined with the previous commits, this makes massive addition of IDs more
than twice as fast as previously.
