The 'ui_pan_to_scroll' uses 'WM_event_absolute_delta_y'. For scrolling the List View
we need to invert the direction to respect "natural scroll direction" system preferences.

Now the icon's rect are drawn wider than it should be, and with
overlapping, probably in order to compensate for the icon's offsets
inside the rect. The solution is to draw icon's rect of the correct
size and center the icon itself.
And make the hotspot exactly match the icon's rect. The last/right
button's hotspot also covers the extra padding on the right.

Disable key-accelerators for key-repeat events.
When a key was held it could open the menu and activate the menu

Long data-block names are clipped to fit into data-block selector menus. For
linked data-blocks, there's also a hint indicating the source library, which
takes further space and may get clipped too.
So this commit adds a tooltip to the menu items, which displays the full,
unclipped data-block name and the unclipped library name. Plus, the library
path is shown too, which is also useful info.
Adds helper functions for search menu item tooltips, so these are easier to add

Part of T84188.
Partially reverts 2250b5cefe.
Removing the user count and fake user count icons was controversial (which was
expected) and there are a few further changes needed, that won't make it in
time for the release, see D9946.
While there is a design to bring back the user count and fake user indicators,
a new design idea was proposed that the UI team wants to follow. This came too
late for the 2.92 release, the new design is targeted at the 2.93 release now.
Meanwhile, UI team decision was to simply revert the design changes.
The new design is being worked on in https://developer.blender.org/T84669.
Note that this commit does not revert some internal changes done in
2250b5cefe. Namely the introduction of `ed_util_ops.c` and data-block
operators in there. These will still be needed in the new design.
The previous design is rather old and has a couple of problems:
* Scalability: The current solution of adding little icon buttons next to the
data-block name field doesn't scale well. It only works if there's a small
number of operations. We need to be able to place more items there for better
data-block management. Especially with the introduction of library overrides.
* Discoverability: It's not obvious what some of the icons do. They appear and
disappear, but it's not obvious why some are available at times and others
not.
* Unclear Status: Currently their library status (linked, indirectly linked,
broken link, library override) isn't really clear.
* Unusual behavior: Some of the icon buttons allow Shift or Ctrl clicking to
invoke alternative behaviors. This is not a usual pattern in Blender.
This patch does the following changes:
* Adds a menu to the right of the name button to access all kinds of operations
(create, delete, unlink, user management, library overrides, etc).
* Make good use of the "disabled hint" for tooltips, to explain why buttons are
disabled. The UI team wants to establish this as a good practise.
* Use superimposed icons for duplicate and unlink, rather than extra buttons
(uses less space, looks less distracting and is a nice + consistent design
language).
* Remove fake user and user count button, they are available from the menu now.
* Support tooltips for superimposed icons (committed mouse hover feedback to
master already).
* Slightly increase size of the name button - it was already a bit small
before, and the move from real buttons to superimposed icons reduces usable
space for the name itself.
* More clearly differentiate between duplicate and creating a new data-block.
The latter is only available in the menu.
* Display library status icon on the left (linked, missing library, overridden,
asset)
* Disables "Make Single User" button - in review we weren't sure if there are
good use-cases for it, so better to see if we can remove it.
Note that I do expect some aspects of this design to change still. I think some
changes are problematic, but others disagreed. I will open a feedback thread on
devtalk to see what others think.

Design discussed and agreed on with the UI team, also see T79959.
One of the core design aspects of the Asset Browser is that users can "mount"
custom asset libraries via the Preferences. Currently an asset library is just
a directory with one or more .blend files in it. We could easily support a
single .blend file as asset library as well (rather than a directory). It's
just disabled currently.
Note that in earlier designs, asset libraries were called repositories.
Idea is simple: In Preferences > File Paths, you can create custom libraries,
by setting a name and selecting a path. The name is ensured to be unique. If
the name or path are empty, the Asset Browser will not show it in the list of
available asset libraries.
The library path is not checked for validity, the Asset Browser will allow
selecting invalid libraries, but show a message instead of the file list, to
help the user understand what's going on.
Of course the actual Asset Browser UI is not part of this commit, it's in one
of the following ones.

For the Asset Browser, it needs to be possible to drag assets into various
editors, which may not come from the current .blend file. In other words, the
dragging needs to work with just the asset metadata, without direct access to
the data-block itself.
Idea is simple: When dragging an asset, store the source file-path and
data-block name and when dropping, append the data-block. It uses existing drop
operators, but the function to get the dropped data-block is replaced with one
that returns the local data-block, or, in case of an external asset, appends
the data-block first.
The drop operators need to be adjusted to use this new function that respects
assets. With this patch it only works for dragging assets into the 3D view.
Note that I expect this to be a short-lived change. A refactor like D4071 is
needed to make the drag & drop system more future proof for assets and other
use cases.

Pie menu had inconsistent behavior for dragging & releasing the key
compared to clicking on the button.
This was caused by the `onfree` argument being set to true,
preventing the button from running callbacks such as setting
up undo data & auto-keyframe
This argument should only be used when freeing the button,
set this to false as is done for regular menus.
And remove Blender preference, which was expected to be set to match the system
preference for correct behavior. Instead just handle this automatically.

ASAN reported a use after free in after rB15d78ea85b602c. This commit
removed a reassignment of the `data` variable here that was actually
required because it may have been freed earlier in the function. This
sort of error would be avoided if the same variable wasn't reused for
different purposes.
With all the work on DNA defaults for 2.91, it's nice to expose this
convenient operator. This was already hardcoded in the UI code to the
backspace key, adding it to the keymap instead will make the shortcut
automatically show in the button right click menu.

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.
3D Viewport -> Sidebar -> View -> Local Camera is disabled. When you
click on it, box select starts. This behavior isn't intended, and fixing
it is quite simple. The only case where this would continuing would
still be desired is if a disabled button overlapped with a non-disabled
button, but this shouldn't be the case anywhere.

For example you can now start entering text in the Properties or
Outliner search, and press the 'x' while the button is still in
text-edit mode.
This way you don't have to exit text editing first, before being able to
quickly clear the string with a mouse click. So this is a small
improvement for convenience.
It also works for the eyedropper (change to picking an object while text
editing) or the '+' and '-' icons in the file saving dialog.
E.g. the 'x' icons or eyedropper icons in text buttons. They didn't use
to have any mouse over feedback, now we dim the icon until hovered.
This kind of feedback helps users see that the icons are interactive,
and if they are within their interaction hotspot.
For the man rationale behind this design, see 49f088e2d0. Further,
this removes users of uiBut.a1/uiBut.a2, which is a very ugly design
choice (hard to reason about).
Note that I had to do rather ugly, specific exceptions for the number
buttons in `ui_def_but_rna()`. But once all users of a1/a2 are removed,
this special handling shouldn't be needed anymore.
I also had to move a sanity check out of the button definition. It's now
moved into a new debug only sanity checking function executed when
finishing the layout definition (block end).
