This will probably be a temporary solution to fill empty space, for until we
have a search button there. Hence, I made this optional using a compile flag.
Moves the Properties editor context switching to a vertical tabs region.
Design Task: T54951
Differential Revison: D3840
The tabs are regular widgets, unlike the 'old' toolshelf tabs. This means they
give mouse hover feedback, have tooltips, support the right-click menu, etc.
Also, when vertical screen space gets tight, the tabs can be scrolled, they
don't shrink like the toolshelf ones.
The tab region is slightly larger than the header. The tabs are scaled up
accordingly. This makes them nicely readable.
The header is quite empty now. As shown in T54951, we wanted to have a search
button there. This should be added next.
Implementation Notes:
* Added a new region type, RGN_TYPE_NAVIGATION.
* Having the tabs in a separate region allows scrolling of the tab-bar, unlike
the toolshelf tabs. We might want to remove the scrollbars though.
* Added a new region flag RGN_FLAG_PREFSIZE_OR_HIDDEN, to ensure the tab region
is either hidden or has a fixed size.
* Added some additional flags to support fine-tuning the layout in panel and
layout code.
* Bumps subversion.
This commit merge the full development done in greasepencil-object branch and include mainly the following features.
- New grease pencil object.
- New drawing engine.
- New grease pencil modes Draw/Sculpt/Edit and Weight Paint.
- New brushes for grease pencil.
- New modifiers for grease pencil.
- New shaders FX.
- New material system (replace old palettes and colors).
- Split of annotations (old grease pencil) and new grease pencil object.
- UI adapted to blender 2.8.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
It was a bit odd that the scene was stored per window but not the view
layer. The reasoning was that you would use different view layers for
different tasks. This is still possible, but it's more predictable to
switch them both explicitly, and with child window support manually
syncing the view layers between multiple windows is no longer needed
as often.
Just like the top-bar, the status-bar can now be hidden/collapsed by dragging
its edge. We display a small line with the editor outline color then, so there
is something that can be dragged up to un-collapse the area again.
This collapsed state is not written to files yet.
For example collapsing the lower part of the topbar with 2x interface scale
would hide the top-bar header region. There were also more asserts when changing
window size and moving area edges afterwards (same assert as in T55298).
Fixes are similar to e626998a26.
With all the recent fixes I've done, area geometry handling should be stable
again. Let's hope I'm right :)
Key shortcuts and explanation about how to use the tool should go to the
status bar, but other info can in the header so it's near where the user
is working. This distinction has not been made yet for all operators.
This translates the gl calls to the new GPU_ wrappers from D3501.
Given it's tedious and repetitive work, this patch does as much as it can with search + replace, the remainder of the gl calls will need to be manually dealt with on a case by case basis.
This fixes 13 of the 28 failing editors when building without opengl.

Moves the preset into a menu for the panel header, so it can be changed
without opening the panel and takes up less space. Two remaining issues:
* For long lists the add new preset button can be scrolled off screen.
* We should support showing the name of the chosen preset in the panel
header, but the current preset system does not support detecting which
preset is used.

This is the first step to moving redo out of the top-bar, see: T55039
- Support for floating panels in the ScrArea has been added.
- A new region type RGN_TYPE_HUD is used for floating settings input.
- Only one HUD should be visible at a time.
- Currently HUD regions are only visible
for 3D view and image space types.
- There are currently some remaining glitches with hide/show
that need further investigation.
This support layout.separator_spacer() to be used by headers as a way to
dynamically separate the ui buttons.
Right now no UI file is changed, though we can use this right away in the
timeline, and shortly after in the viewport header (moving settings from
the topbar to it).
