The NLA Editor sidebar is currently out of step with the rest of Blender, and in particular the Sequencer, which offers similar features and functionality. This patch makes a number of UI layout changes to make it fit in.
- Remove Active Track panel, since the track names can just be edited in the source list on the left
- Rejiggered the categories to be more understandable. 'Strip' includes settings for the current strip, and 'Edited Action' includes settings for the action that is currently being edited
- Use single column split layout
- Use name + mute toggle configuration like in the Sequencer
- Fix an issue with the theme, where the sidebar background was too dark, breaking the bright -> dark hierarchical logic
- Use sub-panels for animated strip properties controls

In our animation editors, we have a feature called View Frame. Problem is, it is not self evident what this feature does. Does it show frame numbers? Does it show all frames? Does it frame the view? Does it frame the view?
What this does, is it moves the view to where the playhead is. With clearer naming, we can communicate this much more clearly.
This is just a simple patch that changes the name from 'View Frame' -> 'Go to Current Frame'.

Instead of having the option to show marker lines,
make the marker region optional.
- Added a Show Markers entry in the View menu of the animation editors.
- If the markers region is not active then the Marker menu gets hidden.
- Removed marker menu from the driver editor
and don't allow to use marker operators.
Adds a `text` parameter to `bpy.types.uiLayout.template_ID()` which
causes a label to be added, as usual. Adding the label also makes the
template respect the `bpy.types.uiLayout.use_property_split` option.
Also fixes wrong layout being used in the template-ID, although I think
that didn't cause issues in practice.
Sergey requested this for usage in the Movie Clip Editor.
Part of T57918. Selecting and dragging items were conflicting actions
previously when both were using the same mouse button. This avoids the
conflict.
See be2cd4bb53 for details on behavior.
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.

Previously there was already "draw_shape" property,
but it was doing nothing. This commit renames the
property to "display_shape". Furthermore, different
shapes like SQUARE and DIAMOND are supported now.
Currently, the shapes are drawn using the shader that also
draws keyframes. In the future we might want to separate
this.
The new shapes are not used anywhere yet, but they can
be used by addon developers and will probably be useful
when we want to support different kinds node systems later.
For example, different shapes can be used to distinguish
between data and control flow.

A lot of areas were querying sound information directly using audio handle
which does not exist on an original sound IDs.
This change basically makes it so it's possible to query information about
given sound ID, without worrying about whether it's loaded or not: if it is
needed to load it first it happens automatically (no automatically-opened
handles are left behind though).
While this seems a bit extreme to open files on such queries it is still
better than the old situation when all sound handles were opened on file
load, no matter if it's needed or not. Besides, none of the changed code
paths are performance critical, just handful of tools.

* Timeline has summary collapsed to show only one row of keyframes.
* Cavity default is screen space curvature (faster).
* Scripting workspace text editor uses syntax highlight and line numbers.
* Marker lines enabled by default in all animation editors.
* Movie clip editor pivot point default to median.
Ref T63986.
The main reason for this change is to allow setting the
active frame with the left mouse button, while still being
able to select e.g. keyframes with the same mouse button.
The solution is to introduce a new scrubbing region with
a specialized keymap. There are a couple of related todos,
that will be handled in separate commits.
Those are listed in D4654.
This solves T63193.

At first you could think that this refactor would not be
necessary, because `ACHANNEL_FIRST` exists already.
It contained the small y offset that all channels had.
Unfortunately, a lot of code assumed that
`ACHANNEL_FIRST = -ACHANNEL_HEIGHT`, making the
define pretty much useless. This refactor fixes that
for the action and nla editor.
As a nice side effect, this patch fixes channel box select.
Before there was always have a half-channel offset.

This affects the timeline, dopesheet, graph editor, sequencer,
clip editor and nla editor.
Removed structs and enums: `V2D_ARG_DUMMY`, `eView2D_Units`,
`eView2D_Clamp`, `eView2D_Gridlines`, `View2DGrid`.
A main goal of this refactor is to get rid of the very generic
`View2DGrid` struct. The drawing code became very complex
because there were many different combinations of settings.
This refactor implements a different approach.
Instead of one very generic API, there are many slighly
different functions that do exactly, what we need in the
different editors. Only very little code is duplicated,
because the API functions compose some shared low level code.
This structure makes the code much easier to debug and change,
because every function has much fewer responsibilities.
Additionally, this refactor fixes some long standing bugs.
E.g. when `Show Seconds` is enabled, you zoom in and pan the view.
Or that the step size between displayed frame numbers was
always `>= 2`, no matter how close you zoom in.

This is a continuation of rB7fdffd735ff24, where I separated the
e.g. frame number drawing from scrollers internally.
This patch changes the API, so that space draw handlers
have to draw these numbers explicitely.
This greatly simplifies the scrollers API for all spaces
that just need scrollers without any frame numbers.

Previously only a fixed bounding box could be used.
This was not flexible enough.
T63193 will benefit from this refactor.
Reviewers: brecht, campbellbarton
Each space had separate operators, duplicating logic.
Use RNA properties instead so adding the ability to toggle other
region types (floating redo region for eg) doesn't need to have an
extra operator per space type.
It's also nicer to show a check-box for something which can be toggled.
No functional change, this adds LIB definition and args to cmake files.
Without this it's difficult to migrate away from 'BLENDER_SORTED_LIBS'
since there are many platforms/configurations that could break when
changing linking order.
Manually add and enable WITHOUT_SORTED_LIBS to try building
without sorted libs (currently fails since all variables are empty).
This check will eventually be removed.
See T46725.
Instead of only `ymin` and `ymax`, `ANIM_channel_draw_widgets`
has a rectangle as input now.
This allows the caller to set a custom width for the channel.
Some space types need the extra space for the scrollbar
(drivers, graph), but the other don't have a scrollbar.

Convention was not to but after discussion on 918941483f we agree its
best to change the convention.
Names now mostly follow RNA.
Some exceptions:
- Use 'nodetrees' instead of 'nodegroups'
since the struct is called NodeTree.
- Use 'gpencils' instead of 'grease_pencil'
since 'gpencil' is a common abbreviation in the C code.
Other exceptions:
- Leave 'wm' as it's a list of one.
- Leave 'ipo' as is for versioning.
This also includes fixed/slighly refactored drawing code for marker lines.
The old code used the wrong height.
