These functions were not used elsewhere, and the handling for the panel
tabs should be kept local to this file where possible. Also remove
another unused function and removed an unecessary "_ex" function.
What I thought was an "optimization" was really a bug. The "use search
for expansion" value needs to be set for every panel, even panels in
other tabs. Otherwise it won't be properly set when switching back to
a tab that was visited during search.

This patch implements panel expansion saving and resetting for property
search. While search is active, the panel expansion is based on whether
or not it has a search result. When the search finishes, the panel
expansion returns to its state before the search started. However, any
panels interacted with during the search won't reset their expansion.
This requires adding a new runtime flag for panels to store whether to
use search result status as expansion. It also requires better handling
for animation when panel expansion changes with another new runtime flag.
`UI_panel_is_closed` gets the search-dependent expansion, but it is
intentionally not used to access expansion in every case-- sometimes it's
necessary to use `PNL_CLOSED` directly.

The panel category tabs (In the 3D view N-panel) did not look great
when zoomed in or with high DPI screens, with multiple overlapping
outlines, and roundness that didn't match elsewhere in Blender. In
addition, there was some unecessarily low-level drawing code in the
panel code.
This commit uses an existing function `UI_draw_roundbox_4fv`to draw
the tabs instead. There are some slight visual differences, though
these are easily adjusted with theme colors.

The buttons hide when the search finishes based on whether they are in
the "panel header" group. These buttons were not protected with a new
group. This adds a new group for operator button calls, and also makes
it so a new group is always created after the header buttons.
This commit makes the panel expansion set based on the search results
when the active tab in the properties editor changes. The multi-tab
search patch (D8859) actually doesn't handle this because it uses a
different code path.
This feature uncovered a subtle but fairly significant issue with the
implementation of property search (More details in T81113). Basically,
the search needed multiple redraws to properly display the expansion of
panels based on the search results. Because there is no animation of
panel expansion when switching tabs, the problem was exposed only now.
With this commit, hiding of "search only" buttons and panel size
calculation happens in a single final step of the panel layout pass.
The "search only" layout root flag is removed. Instead every button
inside a panel header is in a single "uiButtonGroup" marked with a
specific "in header" flag, an idea which could be generalized in the
future.

This replaces the blue theme color for subpanel titles with the the same
fade as for parent panels.
The search color doesn't work well for subpanel title colors. And actually,
because there are often buttons with checkboxes in the panel headers, we
don't have to treat this indicator any differently than regular buttons.

The "UI_panel_set_expand_from_list_data" doesn't need to be in the
public API since it's just called every time an instanced panel is added.
This commit just sets the expansion automatically and adjusts some
naming to account for the moved function.
Although I haven't seen this cause any visible errors, there is some
incorrect handling for setting panel expansion during search:
- Properly check if child panel is active first
- Don't stop traversal at headerless panels that could theoretically
have children
In the 3D view sidebar, the active tool settings panel can be pinned to other
categories, and in those other categories it doesn't redraw when the active
tool changes. This commit checks for pinned panels from the "Tool" category
when checking whether to redraw.
Note that the relatively expensive string comparison is only done for
currently visible pinned panels.

Setting the search match flag every time property search runs can
invalidate the results for panel headers. Instead, clear the flag on
every redraw and or the result of every search in the panel to it.
The search should check if a panel is active before changing its
expansion, otherwise it sets the expansion for all of the region's
panels, even invisible ones in other tabs.
This code had grown overly complicated and hard to understand.
The improvements in this commit:
- Avoid allocating a duplicate of every active panel.
- Instead of complicated logic to calculate each panel's offset,
just keep track of the current offset while iterating through.
- More readable code structure, better comments.
Note that calcuting the X offset here is a relic from pre-2.5 when
panels could be aligned horizontally. I kept this in, but it would
be reasonable to remove it in the future.
This makes these variable names more consistent with current standards,
mostly by not over-abbreviating already short words. The following commit
will refactor this function.
Stack panels (for modifiers, etc..) also get their expansion from their
associated list data. This means that property search expansion needs
to properly update the list data, which can be accomplished by calling
`set_panels_list_data_expand_flag`.
This commit also moves this logic to `UI_panels_end`, where it fits
better.
This adds a search bar to the properties editor. The full search for
every tab isn't included in this patch, but the interaction with
panels, searching behavior, UI, region level, and DNA changes are
included here.
The block-level search works by iterating over the block's button
groups and checking whether they match the search. If they do, they
are tagged with a flag, and the block's panel is tagged too. For
every update (text edit), the panel's expansion is set to whether
the panel has a result or not. The search also checks for matching
strings inside enums and in panel labels.
One complication to this that isn't immediately apparent is that
closed panel's subpanels have to be searched too. This adds some
complexity to the area-level panel layout code.
Possible Future Improvements:
- Use the new fuzzy search in BLI
- Reset panels to their expansion before the search started if
the user escape out of the text box.
- Open all child panels of a panel with expansion.

For modifier shortcuts we added a "custom_data" field to panels.
This commit uses the same system for accessing the list data that
corresponds to each panel. This way the context is only used once
and the modifier for each panel can be accessed more easily later.
This ends up being mostly a cleanup commit with a few small changes
in interface_panel.c. The large changes in the UI functions are due
to the fact that the panel custom data is now passed around as a
single pointer instead of being created again for every panel.
The list_index variable in Panel.runtime is removed as it's now
unnecessary.

This function was called when the modifier list changes and the panel
list has to be rebuilt. Originally I thought it was necessary to to remove
the block immediately when the panel was removed, but we can just
leave it and it will be removed later in the UI drawing process.
Removing this results in fewer string lookups.
Currently the panel handler loops through every block and every button
for every single panel. This commit moves that check to happen a single
time at the beginning.
We need to only collapse or expand the first panel under the cursor
rather than all of them. Note that whether the parent panel or
the subpanel is first depends on the order of the uiBlocks in the
region's list.
The code for handling panel events was much more complicated than it
needed to be. This commit removes some unecessary function calls and
variables, reduces indentation levels by returning early, and does
some other general cleanup.
Somehow the panel category drawing functions ended up in the middle
of the region event handling code. This commit moves them to their
own section next to the rest of the drawing code.
