This addresses reduced visibility of scenes (as displayed in the VR
headset) that can result from the 8-bit color depth format currently
used for XR swapchain images.
By switching to a swapchain format with higher color depth (RGB10_A2,
RGBA16, RGBA16F) for supported runtimes, visibility in VR should be
noticeably improved.
However, current limitations are lack of support for these higher
color depth formats by some XR runtimes, especially for OpenGL.
Also important to note that GPU_offscreen_create() now explicitly
takes in the texture format (eGPUTextureFormat) instead of a
"high_bitdepth" boolean.

In the `FileList` struct, rename the `AssetLibraryReference
*asset_library` field to `asset_library_ref` -- it's a description of
which asset library is used, and not the asset library itself.
This is to make space for a future `AssetLibrary *asset_library` field,
which will point to an actual asset library struct/class.

This makes the internal naming consistent with the public API. And also gives
us a visibility_flag rather than restrictflag that can be extended with more
flags.
For T78995 we want to change the data structure of keylists to
improve performance. (Probably a Vector with bin-search capabilities).
This patch hides the internal structure of the keylists behind `AnimKeylist`
structure. This allows us to change the internals without 'breaking' where it is
being used.
The change adds functions to create, free, find and walk over the
keylist.

Since above commit only the playhead is updated as an overlay in
animation playback (was moved out of drawing of the main region for
perfomance reasons).
The driver value "debug" visualization is very useful to have during
playback though but was left in main region drawing as part of
`draw_fcurve` (thus does not update in realtime anymore).
Moving `graph_draw_driver_debug` into the overlay is not feasible
because it requires animation filtering which has significant overhead
which needs to be avoided in the overlay which is redrawn on every UI
interaction.
Now tag the whole main region for updates in the Driver Editor during
playback instead (which will make the Drivers Editor as slow during
playback as before rBbbb2e0614fc3 -- but with realtime updates of the
debug visualization).

Originally the operator name was drawn next to the dragging content.
After that there was an option to add custom, static text with the
dragging content. This patch allows dynamic text to be drawn.
The custom text was implemented as out parameter of the poll function
what made the code unclear. This patch introduces a tooltip function
that separates tooltip generation from the poll function.
NOTE: the text should always be returned in its own memory block. This
block will be freed after it is copied in the drag struct.

These operators shouldn't be available in the Asset Browser.
https://developer.blender.org/T83556
Added a comment to each operator poll assignment to explicitly mention
the intention. That should also remind devs to decide if the operator
should apply for both file & asset browsing when copy & pasting operator
definition code.
This new variable was introduced with 7898089de3. We don't usually use
an `active` prefix variable. Plus, this makes the name match the one of
the Asset Browser active library variable, so we can use the
`rna_def_asset_library_reference_common()` helper for both.
This will cause Asset Views to open with the default "Current File"
Asset Library. We could avoid that, but it's a minor issue really.
The asset view UI template is a mini-version of the Asset Browser that
can be placed in regular layouts, regions or popups. At this point it's
made specifically for placement in vertical layouts, it can be made more
flexible in the future.
Generally the way this is implemented will likely change a lot still as
the asset system evolves.
The Pose Library add-on will use the asset view to display pose
libraries in the 3D View sidebar.

Notes:
* Important limitation: Due to the early & WIP implementation of the
asset list, all asset views showing the same library will show the
same assets. That is despite the ID type filter option the template
provides. The first asset view created will determine what's visible.
Of course this should be made to work eventually.
* The template supports passing an activate and a drag operator name.
The former is called when an asset is clicked on (e.g. to apply the
asset) the latter when dragging (e.g. to .blend a pose asset). If no
drag operator is set, regular asset drag & drop will be executed.
* The template returns the properties for both operators (see example
below).
* The argument list for using the template is quite long, but we can't
avoid that currently. The UI list design requires that we pass a
number of RNA or custom properties to work with, that for the Pose
Libraries should be registered at the Pose Library add-on level, not
in core Blender.
* Idea is that Python scripts or add-ons that want to use the asset view
can register custom properties, to hold data like the list of assets,
and the active asset index. Maybe that will change in future and we
can manage these internally.
As an example, the pose library add-on uses it like this:
```
activate_op_props, drag_op_props = layout.template_asset_view(
"pose_assets",
workspace,
"active_asset_library",
wm,
"pose_assets",
workspace,
"active_pose_asset_index",
filter_id_types={"filter_action"},
activate_operator="poselib.apply_pose_asset",
drag_operator="poselib.blend_pose_asset",
)
drag_op_props.release_confirm = True
drag_op_props.flipped = wm.poselib_flipped
activate_op_props.flipped = wm.poselib_flipped
```
If a text button is activated that is not in view (i.e. scrolled away),
the scrolling will now be adjusted to have it in view (with some
small additional margin). While entering text, the view may also be
updated should the button move out of view, for whatever reason. For the
most part, this feature shouldn't be needed and won't kick in, except
when a clicked on text button is partially out of view or very close to
the region edge. It's however quite important for the previously
committed feature, that is, pressing Ctrl+F to start searching in a UI
list. The end of the list where the scroll button appears may not be in
view. Plus while filtering the number of visible items changes so the
scrolling has to be updated to keep the search button visible.
Note that I disabled the auto-scrolling for when the text button spawned
an additional popup, like for search-box buttons. That is because
current code assumes the button to have a fixed position while the popup
is open. There is no code to update the popup position together with the
button/scrolling.
I also think that the logic added here could be used in more places,
e.g. for the "ensure file in view" logic the File Browser does.
Makes it possible to create tooltips for UI list rows, which can be
filled in .py scripts, similar to how they can extend other menus. This
is used by the (to be committed) Pose Library add-on to display pose
operations (selecting bones of a pose, blending a pose, etc).
It's important that the Python scripts check if the UI list is the
correct one by checking the list ID.
For this to work, a new `bpy.context.ui_list` can be checked. For
example, the Pose Library add-on does the following check:
```
def is_pose_asset_view() -> bool:
# Important: Must check context first, or the menu is added for every kind of list.
list = getattr(context, "ui_list", None)
if not list or list.bl_idname != "UI_UL_asset_view" or list.list_id != "pose_assets":
return False
if not context.asset_handle:
return False
return True
```
For the Asset Browser, this returns the active asset library of the
Asset Browser, otherwise it returns the one active in the workspace.
This gives simple access to the active asset library from UI code and
Python scripts. For example the upcoming Pose Library add-on uses this,
as well as the upcoming asset view template.

This patch adds support for filtering rows based on rules and values.
Filters will work for any attribute data source, they are a property
of the spreadsheet rather than of the attribute system. The properties
displayed in the row filter can depend on data type of the currently
visible column with that name. If the name is no longer visible, the
row filter filter is grayed out, but it will remember the value until
a column with its name is visible again.
Note: The comments in `screen.c` combined with tagging the sidebar
for redraw after the main region point to a lack of understanding
or technical debt, that is a point to improve in the future.

Creating a new full screen area had it's area initialized as empty,
updating the screen then set the area to a 3D view (as a fallback),
before the actual area type was set.
This made setting the intended space-type run the 3D views exit callback

needed to account for.
Resolve by calling ED_screen_change after the area type has been set.
This patch makes the "Render" window a top-level window, not a child of
the main window, which was the case in blender versions prior to 2.93.
This means it is no longer "on top", nor is the icon grouped on the
taskbar in the same way, but you can Alt-Tab between it and the main
window. This change only affects the Windows platform as the other
platforms behave this way.

When using large sequences including audio the drawing of the audio on
top of the strip takes a lot of time. This effects the playback
performance heavily.
During the animation playback performance there was a solution for this
by only drawing the playhead overlay. This was reverted for the sequence
editor as it didn't update the color strips when they were animated.
This patch checks if there are animated color strips if so the full
screen is redrawn, otherwise only the playhead is redrawn.

The new "Close Area" operator can let any neighbor replace the area to
be closed. This patch improves the selection of the best, and most-
aligned, neighbor. It maximizes the ratio of the shared edge lengths,
rather than minimize the absolute amount of misalignment. This follows
our expectations closer because it takes into account the relative
sizes of the areas and their edges.

The RGN_TYPE_EXECUTE region was zero height - with the "Load & Save"

This is because the region started off this size and does not change
with simply adding the buttons. Although it has RGN_FLAG_DYNAMIC_SIZE,
delayed reinit of regions is only currently supported on headers.
This gives the execute region an initial (minimum) vertical size but
also makes the region **hidden** by default.
- Showing Prefs as an editor among others it will show the header
but not the execute region.
- Showing the Prefs in a popup window, hides the header region
