This makes it possible to turn data-blocks into assets and back into normal
data-blocks. A core design decision made for the asset system is that not every
data-block should be an asset, because not every data-block is made for reuse.
Users have to explicitly mark data-blocks as assets.
Exposes "Mark Asset" and "Clear Asset" in Outliner context menus (currently ID
Data submenu) and button context menus. We are still not too happy with the
names, they may change.
This uses the new context members to pass data-blocks to operators, added in
af008f5532 and 0c1d476923.

This is similar to c4a2067130130d, but applies to the general UI and is only
about single data-blocks. Here there was a similar problem: How can buttons
pass the data they represent to operators? We currently resort to ugly ad-hoc
solutions like `UI_context_active_but_get_tab_ID()`. So the operator would need
to know that it is executed on a tab button that represents a data-block.
A single button can now hand operators a data-block to operate on. The operator
can request it via the "id" context member (`CTX_data_pointer_get_type(C, "id",
&RNA_ID)` in C, `bpy.context.id` in .py).
In this commit, it is already set in the following places:
* Generic RNA button code sets it to the pointed to data-block, if the button
represents a data-block RNA pointer property. (I.e for general data-block
search buttons.)
* Data-block selectors (`templateID`) set it to the currently active data-block.
* The material slot UI-List sets it for each slot to the material it represents.
The button context menu code is modified so its operators use the context set
for the layout of its parent button (i.e. `layout.context_pointer_set()`).
No user visible changes. This new design isn't actually used yet. It will be
soon for asset operators.

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).
The current on-size-fits-all `uiBut` creates quite a mess, where it's
hard to reason about which members are free for use, under which
conditions they are used and how.
`uiBut` also has members that aren't used at times, violating the "don't
pay for what you don't use" principle.
To address this, we want to move to typed buttons, where `uiBut` is just
a base struct and each type extends it as needed. That structures data
better and type specific data is only available if it's actually used by
a button type.
Two trade-offs:
* Many casts to the derived type have to be done.
* Sometimes we change the button type after it's created. So I had to
add logic to reallocate the button for use with the new, possibly
derived struct. Ideally that wouldn't be needed, but for now that's
what we have.

Showing the Python error without any explanation is often
not enough information and doesn't hint that the error was in the
user input.
The error report from a invalid expression such as '..1' used to be:

Now reads:

Both the MS headers and blender headers define the HKEY

The old convention was easy to confuse with ScrArea.
Part of https://developer.blender.org/T74432.
This is mostly a batch rename with some manual fixing. Only single word
variable names are changed, no prefixed/suffixed names.
Brecht van Lommel and Campbell Barton both gave me a green light for
this convention change.
Also ran clan clang format on affected files.
When there was no way to find the data-path from context
the shortcut was still being created.
It would evaluate to "context.(null)".
Now adding shortcuts will be disabled if the path can't be computed.
While the vast majority of labels would never get a button context menu
(as opposed to the regular context menu of this region), draggable
labels would still reach code for such context menu creation. From what
I can tell only file browser icons/thumbnails and the properties editor
data path would be affected. The button context menu doesn't make sense
for them, so let the region context menu show up instead.
If at some point we want button context menus for specific labels, we
can make checks more granular.
The old layout of `PointerRNA` was confusing for historic reasons:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct {
void *data;
} id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
This patch updates it to:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct ID *owner_id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
Throughout the code base `id.data` was replaced with `owner_id`.
Furthermore, many explicit pointer type casts were added which
were implicit before. Some type casts to `ID *` were removed.

When a button represents the whole array (e.g. color picker buttons),
these context menu options were available, but didn't really work
correctly. Since it's not clear how they could reasonably work without
a valid index, it's better to hide them.
It is a very common need to create drivers that set the value of
a property to the value of some other property, but it currently
requires multiple actions: Copy Data Path on the input property,
adding a driver to the output property, selecting the input ID
reference, and pasting the path.
This adds a new Copy As Driver context menu option, which creates
a complete driver in the clipboard that reads the current property,
so all that remains is to paste it to the output property. It is
also possible to paste just the new driver variable into an existing
driver to combine multiple inputs.

Better to make internal code naming match official/UI naming to some
extent, this will reduce confusion in the future.
This is 'breaking' scripts and files that would use that feature, but
since it is not yet officially supported nor exposed in 2.80, as far
as that release is concerned, it is effectively
a 'no functional changes' commit.
This also makes `IDP_CopyProperty` the "opposite"
of `IDP_FreeProperty`, which is what I'd expect.
Two refactoring steps:
* rename IDP_FreeProperty to IDP_FreePropertyContent
* new IDP_FreeProperty function that actually frees the property
