In the future we should make these two buttons on one line
However because we need `gen_context = 'PAINT_STENCIL'`
this is a little hard and we need to find a proper solution.
One might be using `context_pointer_set`

* Display a warning above the pose list if the pose library is in an invalid
state (i.e. when it has keyframes but no pose-markers associated with those
keyframes). This warning prompts users to run the "Sanitize Pose Library Action"
operator, which should fix up such issues.
* "Sanitize" operator now creates unique names for each newly create pose
marker it generates, including the frame on which it found the pose
Hashed Alpha transparency offers a noisy output but has the benefit of being correctly ordered. Noise can be attenuated with Multisampling / AntiAliasing.
Up until now users had to switch to Blender Internal to set the dimension of their openGl renderings. This simple change adds the panel at the top of the scene render tab.
This fixes an issue introduced by the new output node system, where "No
output node" was displayed in the material panel even when an output
node was present.
Although we are calling all of them light probes, there are a lot of
differences between them. This commit does the following:
* Prevent user from changing the probe type once added
* Unify "sphere" and "cube" probes into reflection cubemap
(as before you can switch between them from the probe UI)
To be done
==========
* Don't show add probe menus unless we are on Eevee
* Light probes panels should not be visible in Clay. Light probe objects
should not be visible in Clay viewport (nor on Cycles).
Notes
=====
* We need icons for the different light probes, and for lightprobes as a
whole (we are using RADIO for now).
Reorder keyingsets registration order, since it also afects order of I
menu options, better show most used ones first, pure alphabetical order
is not great here... Will likely break some muscle memory though. :|
Based on D2720 by Carlo Andreacchio (@candreacchio), thanks.
This makes the node menus aware of the Cycles/Eevee distinction, and
only show the relevant nodes for the current engine. Names have also
been changed to accomodate for the new output node system.
This makes Eevee consistent with Cycles, by having a single output node,
and multiple shader nodes that connect to it.
Note that node systems for Eevee saved before this will be missing the
output node, and thus will show an invalid material. This is easily
resolved by connecting the shader output to a new output node.
Replaces the placeholder 'emtpy' icons of "Force Field" and "Group
Instance" entries in object-add menu with proper new ones.
Icons by @zlsa, thanks a lot!

After using it for like 30 sec, the min max bound box is absolutely not practical. Reverting into using a unit cube with object transform.
This also simplify the code.
In the future of center probes will be implemented using another object matrix (via an object pointer).
This commit does the main integration of workspaces, which is a design we agreed on during the 2.8 UI workshop (see https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.8/UI/Workshop_Writeup)
Workspaces should generally be stable, I'm not aware of any remaining bugs (or I've forgotten them :) ). If you find any, let me know!
(Exception: mode switching button might get out of sync with actual mode in some cases, would consider that a limitation/ToDo. Needs to be resolved at some point.)
== Main Changes/Features
* Introduces the new Workspaces as data-blocks.
* Allow storing a number of custom workspaces as part of the user configuration. Needs further work to allow adding and deleting individual workspaces.
* Bundle a default workspace configuration with Blender (current screen-layouts converted to workspaces).
* Pressing button to add a workspace spawns a menu to select between "Duplicate Current" and the workspaces from the user configuration. If no workspaces are stored in the user configuration, the default workspaces are listed instead.
* Store screen-layouts (`bScreen`) per workspace.
* Store an active screen-layout per workspace. Changing the workspace will enable this layout.
* Store active mode in workspace. Changing the workspace will also enter the mode of the new workspace. (Note that we still store the active mode in the object, moving this completely to workspaces is a separate project.)
* Store an active render layer per workspace.
* Moved mode switch from 3D View header to Info Editor header.
* Store active scene in window (not directly workspace related, but overlaps quite a bit).
* Removed 'Use Global Scene' User Preference option.
* Compatibility with old files - a new workspace is created for every screen-layout of old files. Old Blender versions should be able to read files saved with workspace support as well.
* Default .blend only contains one workspace ("General").
* Support appending workspaces.
Opening files without UI and commandline rendering should work fine.
Note that the UI is temporary! We plan to introduce a new global topbar
that contains the workspace options and tabs for switching workspaces.
== Technical Notes
* Workspaces are data-blocks.
* Adding and removing `bScreen`s should be done through `ED_workspace_layout` API now.
* A workspace can be active in multiple windows at the same time.
* The mode menu (which is now in the Info Editor header) doesn't display "Grease Pencil Edit" mode anymore since its availability depends on the active editor. Will be fixed by making Grease Pencil an own object type (as planned).
* The button to change the active workspace object mode may get out of sync with the mode of the active object. Will either be resolved by moving mode out of object data, or we'll disable workspace modes again (there's a `#define USE_WORKSPACE_MODE` for that).
* Screen-layouts (`bScreen`) are IDs and thus stored in a main list-base. Had to add a wrapper `WorkSpaceLayout` so we can store them in a list-base within workspaces, too. On the long run we could completely replace `bScreen` by workspace structs.
* `WorkSpace` types use some special compiler trickery to allow marking structs and struct members as private. BKE_workspace API should be used for accessing those.
* Added scene operators `SCENE_OT_`. Was previously done through screen operators.
== BPY API Changes
* Removed `Screen.scene`, added `Window.scene`
* Removed `UserPreferencesView.use_global_scene`
* Added `Context.workspace`, `Window.workspace` and `BlendData.workspaces`
* Added `bpy.types.WorkSpace` containing `screens`, `object_mode` and `render_layer`
* Added Screen.layout_name for the layout name that'll be displayed in the UI (may differ from internal name)
== What's left?
* There are a few open design questions (T50521). We should find the needed answers and implement them.
* Allow adding and removing individual workspaces from workspace configuration (needs UI design).
* Get the override system ready and support overrides per workspace.
* Support custom UI setups as part of workspaces (hidden panels, hidden buttons, customizable toolbars, etc).
* Allow enabling add-ons per workspace.
* Support custom workspace keymaps.
* Remove special exception for workspaces in linking code (so they're always appended, never linked). Depends on a few things, so best to solve later.
* Get the topbar done.
* Workspaces need a proper icon, current one is just a placeholder :)
