This patch allows Windows users to specify that their current blender
installation should be used to create thumbnails and be associated
with ".blend" files. This is done from Preferences / System. The only
way to do this currently is from the command-line and this is sometimes
inconvenient.

When using non-default system separator in filename path, code would end up
with an absolute path mixing regular and alternative separator,
confusing the rest of the path manipulations later on.
So this commit add proper replacements of alternative separators, and
path normalization.
Partial fix for T81751 which exposes multiple playback performance
issues. Previously the cache was limited to 30 frames, without a way to
increase the cache for smooth playback with files that are slow to load.
Now the animation plays back smoothly once loaded into cache.
The cache limit from the system preference is used
when the player is launched from Blender.
A new player argument `-c <cache_limit>` was added to support this.
Add a CLI argument `--open-last` that opens the most recent file,
effectively doing the same as {key Ctrl Shift O}, {key Enter} after
starting Blender.
When there are no known recent files, print a warning and do nothing,
showing the startup file instead.
Note that this does not try to be smart about restoring the last Blender
session. It just opens the file from disk, as if the user had typed
`blender $(head -n1 ~/.config/blender/2.93/config/recent-files.txt)`.
There is also no smartness when that file cannot be opened; it behaves
exactly the same as typing the most recent filename on the CLI.

Removes two unused --debug-gpu command line flags (unused as in, does nothing):
* `--debug-gpumem`: Unused since c08d847488, the info is now available in
the status-bar if enabled in the Preferences. Initially added in
fec317de8d.
* `--debug-gpu-shaders`: Unused since 216d78687d, double checked with
Clément, he says it's not that useful nowadays. Initially added in
fec317de8d.
Addresses T83954 and T83953.

Approximately 138 changes in the spelling of compound words
and proper names like "Light Probe", "Shrink/Fatten", "Face Map".
In many cases, hyphens were used where they aren't correct, like
"re-fit". Other common changes include:
- "Datablock" -> "data-block"
- "Floating point" -> "floating-point"
- "Ngons" -> "n-gons"
These changes help give the language used in the interface
a consistent, more professional feel.

This was added when Linux's audio support
often needed to be manually configured.
Further 3rd party libraries have their own environment variables & docs
these need not be part of Blender's help message unless they're likely
to be needed to properly run Blender.
Avoid passing the pass argument to BLI_argsAdd, instead set this
once for each group of passes.
This means we can add new passes without having to bump the arguments
to BLI_argsAdd.
Sub-systems that use directories from BKE_appdir needed to be
initialized after parsing '--env-system-datafiles'.
This meant the animation player needed to call IMB_init it's self.
Avoid this complication by having a pass that can be used to setup
the environment before Blender's resources are accessed.
This reverts the workaround from 9ea345d1cf
This adds a new `--debug-exit-on-error` flag. When it is set, Blender
will abort with a non-zero exit code when there are internal errors.
Currently, "internal errors" includes memory leaks detected by
guardedalloc and error/fatal log entries in clog.
The new flag is passed to Blender in various places where automated
tests are run. Furthermore, the `--debug-memory` flag is used in tests,
because that makes the verbose output more useful, when dealing
with memory leaks.

This commit renames 'execute' to 'run' because:
- This follows Python's "PyRun" which these functions wrap.
- Execution functions can use either exec/eval modes,
making naming awkward (for future API refactoring).
Will trigger code paths which makes sure UUIDs are generated and
are unique.
Enabled with --debug-depsgraph-uuid (which is also implied by
--debug-depsgraph).
This is no longer used by default, when '--python-use-system-env' is set
there are many Python environment variables, don't list them in
Blender's help message.
The file subversion is no longer used in the Python API or user interface,
and is now internal to Blender.
User interface, Python API and file I/O metadata now use more consistent
formatting for version numbers. Official releases use "2.83.0", "2.83.1",
and releases under development use "2.90.0 Alpha", "2.90.0 Beta".
Some Python add-ons may need to lower the Blender version in bl_info to
(2, 83, 0) or (2, 90, 0) if they used a subversion number higher than 0.

Previously this would be enabled when threads were used, but threads are now
basically always in use so there is no point. Further, this is only needed for
guarded allocation with --debug-memory which is not performance critical.
