This better aligns the matcap/hdri browser, rotation/background sliders and
preferences/flip matcap button.
The remaining sub-panels are not perfeclty aligned yet, once the sub-panels
separation is more prominent (and they can be collapsed) we can align those.
Thanks devtalk forum for feedback!
- Rename "Viewport Info" to "Text Info".
Name was too vague, nearly everything is information,
this currently only controls overlay text.
- Swap text-info & 3D-cursor, making 3D-cursor less prominent.
This brings the Object Visibility dropdown closer to overlays which
also controls visibility of elements int he viewport, so it makes more
sense there. Also placing the Overlays settings closer to the viewport.
Sub-panels for shading, measurement, normals, freestyle and developer.
Less-used sub-panels will be collapsed by default once their implementation
is complete (fixing spacing between sub-panels, adding the triangle to collapse, etc).
Also added missing check for overlays on/off on existing sub-panels.
* Unify X-Ray/Shadow toggle and factor, using the whole width gives you finer control
* Shadow settings next to intensity slider
* Cavity settings next to Ridge/Valley sliders
* Collapse Cavity settings when not used
* Make MatCap preview and browser dialog smaller. MatCaps are added by the user
so she is already familiar with how they look. No need to preview them that big
while browsing. To see the MatCaps in detail we have the User Preferences/Asset Manager.
Having popovers inside popovers triggers some minor glitches that will be addressed later.
(e.g. they open on mouse over and the popover arrow is not aligned)
Group Object Type Visibility with the viewport settings in the header.
The eye icon is a placeholder. A new icon is needed to better communicate
the user at a glance if all (or none) object types are enabled, or why certain types
are not visible/selectable in the viewport.

When tweaking the shading/overlays settings through the popovers,
these get on the way of the content in the viewport. Making it hard to
see the result of our changes.
Unfortunately this breaks consistency with other headers where the snapping
tools are aligned to the right, but the benefits outweigh the costs.
Organize content in categories/sub-panels.
The result is a more organized but slightly taller popover.
Once sub-panels are implemented code-wise, the alignment issues
(like panel label) and extra space between the content and panels
headers will be reduced. Together with the ability to have certain
less-used popovers collapsed by default, this will make the
popover more compact.

There are now 3 categories in the overlay popover:
- Navigation
- Active (camera, lamp... etc)
- Tool (manipulator)
The user preference for mini axis now controls if the mini axis
displays minimal or a full-interactive widget.

Now we light with just a user defined HDRI by default, which is useful
for material setup and texture painting and lighting without having to
set up any scene lights.
Previously it would use the scene world without lights by default, which
in some files is just black.
Trying to have a single option for this is too likely to be
insufficient in some cases.
Instead, support object type visibility & selectability per view-port.
This patch will allow users to customize what object types will be drawn by the object mode overlay.
It supports: Empties, Lamps, Cameras, Speakers, Armatures and Lightprobes.
It currently does not support Physics objects due to the overlap it has with other objects types.
Also be aware that in pose mode the armature is drawn, but not by the object mode overlay

Added a option to the overlay popover that controls the visibility of
non-renderable objects like lamps, cameras, speakers, armatures, curves
empties and force fields.
After discussion we went for a single option with more detailed check in
the object_mode draw engine.
