The outliner didn't account for weight-paint + pose-mode,
making it consider all pose bones unselected.
When syncing selection, bones were unselected.
This adds a context argument to passed to drawing functions since
finding the weight-paint pose-object in the drawing loop isn't efficient.
- There was no way to select some kinds of data without activating them.
- Pose mode could not be activated at all.
No change to behavior with sync-selection enabled.
Adds a keyboard walk navigation and selection operator to the
outliner. Up and down arrow keys walk up and down the list of
elements, and left and right will open and close elements if
the elements are closed or opened respectively. Holding shift
while walking up and down the tree expands the selection.
Holding shift while clicking or pressing left and right arrows
will expand or collapse all children elements recursively.
Pressing enter to openclose the hovered element is removed.
Also allows click+drag for openclose of element subtrees.
This moves openclose toggling to the openclose operator to
remove duplicate code. The outliner tree building is tweaked
slightly to set the proper parents in scene display mode for walk
select to walk to parents without errors.
Allow selection of subtree elements on a collapsed element's
row. Because subtree elements are aggregated by type, a select on
an icon that represents multiple subtree elements will invoke a
popup menu to select the specific subtree element.
Also draws highlights on cursor hover over a row icon.
Any child elements that are linked to multiple collections will
only be listed in the popup one time, and selection from the
popup will select the first instance in the subtree.
Adds a toggle to the filter menu for outliner synced selection. Enabled
by default, this ensures selection is synced between objects, bones, and
sequences. An active outliner element theme color is added to indicate
which element is active.
Synced selection is controlled on the operator level. Each operator
that modifies selection for objects, bones, sequences, or outliner
elements needs to call the respective ED_outliner_select_sync_from..
function to tag outliners to be synced.
Syncing is done lazily on outliner draw.
Bringing the same logic we do in the outliner restrict column callback
and the menu call.
Also removing the "change depsgraph" logic there. Isolate collections
should not affect depsgraph relations (if it does it is to be tackled
separately anyways).
See T61578 for discussions and mockups.
Visibility Options
==================
We are adding more granular control over restriction columns in the outliner,
exposing "indirect only" and "holdout" as options, and change the way
users enable/disable collections in a viewlayer.
We also rename the object viewport restriction to hide instance.
So the options we have are:
Collection
----------
* Render Visibility
* Instance Visibility
* Selectable
(View) Layer Collection
-----------------------
* Enable
* Holdout
* Indirect Only
* Viewport
Shortcuts
=========
Isolate Collection
------------------
* Ctr + click isolates the collection.
It turns all its parents and children "visible", and all the other
collections "invisible".
If ALL the collections were already properly set, we re-set the
collections to their default value.
Set Collection Inside Collections and Objects
---------------------------------------------
* Shift + click: Set/unset inside collections and objects.
We only set objects values as well when we are in View Layer mode and
(obviously) when the objects have a matching property.
Icons
=====
Little reminder that we will need better icons for holdout, indirect only, and
probably instanced (nothing wrong with the current, but it differs from
the proposal when it is turned off).
Also, we need to decide where do we want the modifier/bones/... icons to
be (in which column) and ideally make sure their icons match the ones we
use for collections/objects.
At the moment those are using the screen icon, which is not being used
by collections.

If the "Object Children" filter is enabled, we nest the object children inside
the object. If the child itself is not in the collection, it is grayed out,
connected by a dash line, and its restriction flags and contents are not shown.
If "Object Children" filter is disabled, it works as before.
Note: This is not super fast, but at least we traverse the tree only once to get the
children of an object. That said, there is a lot of loops going on here.
Task T63526.
Development notes:
I could use the GPU_SHADER_2D_LINE_DASHED_UNIFORM_COLOR shader, but
that would mean I would need to iterate over the tree twice (once for
each shader) - or do some bigger refactor.
Also I could not get that shader to work. This shader expects float
vertices while the current one is using integers, so converting the code
would make the dash line drawing to diverge from the regular lines even
further.

This adds entries to copy/paste (selected) IDs in the Outliner, as well
as usual ctrl-C/ctrl-V shortcuts.
Note that the clipboard is shared with other IDs copying (currently, the
one for objects in 3DView).

This partially reverts commit a77feabb51,
removing the shallow 'duplicate hierarchy' option from outliner.
Core changes from that commit in BKE_collections are kept.
Point is, you may want to duplicate your set of collections, but not
duplicate all their objects.
Some notes:
* Am rather skeptical about the practice of using operator name to
define behavior of some common exec code. Imho, that should be a single
operator with an enum to refine its behavior (@cambpellbarton may also
have an opinion here?). Left it as-is for now, because this seems to be
used by other operators too in that code. :/
* @dfelinto, @pablovazquez, @billreynish am not so happy with current
names, but cannot find really good short ones either... Also, shouldn't
we move those into a dedicated `Duplicate` sub-menu?
- paintcurves were hitting an assert in outliner_add_element()
- missing outliner update when adding a paintcurve
- paintcurves were not showing an icon [they dont have a dedicated icon,
took the one used elsewhere]

Now that we have better options (duplicate collection and duplicate linked) there is no
longer need for the original dupli operator.
In fact, as it was it was of little use if you ever had nested collections.
As per the suggestion on T57064, this introduces two new options to duplicate collections.
We then have:
* Duplicate > Collection (New collection with linked content).
* Duplicate > Hierachy (Duplicate entire hierarchy and make all contents single user).
* Duplicate > Linked Hierarchy (Duplicate entire hierarchy keeping content linked with original).
Development TODO: `single_object_users` can/should use the new functions.

Now collection and objects can be either:
* Disabled for all the view layers.
* Hidden for a view layer but not necessarily for all others.
* Visible for a view layer but not necessarily for all others.
Regarding icons: Whatever we decide to use for the "Hidden for all view
layers" needs to be a toggle-like icon. Because when viewing "Scenes"
instead of "View Layer" in the outliner we should be able to edit the
collection "Hidden for all the view layers" as an on/off option.
The operators are accessible via a Visibility context menu or shortcuts:
* Ctrl + Click: Isolate collection (use shift to extend).
* Alt + Click: Disable collection.
* Shift + Click: Hide/Show collection and its children (objects and collections)
Things yet to be tackled:
* Object outliner context menu can also get a Visibility sub-menu.
* Get better icons for viewport enable/disable.
Note:
* When using emulate 3 button mouse alt+click is used for 2d panning.
In this case users have to use the operator from the menu.

Thanks to the reviewers and William Reynish and Julien Kasper in
particular for the feedback.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
- clips/masks were not showing an icon [both dont have a dedicated icon,

See T57857 for discussion. This reverts:
"Outliner: Do not gray out empty collections"
4521d3e707.
"Remove eye column from the outliner"
fd16b35997.
Fix/workaround issues in pose and edit mode"
6d2e2e30d5.
"Per view-layer collection visibility"
4de6a210c6.
To control per-viewlayer, per-object visiblity users should either use
the menu or the H shortcuts (H, Alt+H, Shift+H).
Following next will be to have proper per-viewlayer collection
visibility. This will replace the functionality currently at the
viewport collections visibility menu.
In the outliner, right click > view layer > set indirect only. This is
like clearing camera ray visibility on objects in the collection, and is
temporary until we have more general dynamic overrides.
In the outliner, right click > view layer > set holdout. This is
temporary until we have more general dynamic overrides, but helps
Spring production for now.
In the outliner there are now icons for it, Ctrl+Click isolates a
single collections.
In the 3D view, Ctrl+H key opens a menu that is more or less the
equivalent of the old layer buttons in the header. Regular Click isolates
the collection, Shift+Click toggle the collection visibility. Pressing
number keys and letters works in this menu, which can help for quickly
selecting a specific collection.
Shortcuts for quick switching by just pressing 1/2/3/.. keys are available
again. The order can be confusing with nested collections, but that seems
unavoidable. The first numbers control the top level collections, and then
sub collections if numbers are left.
Remaining design issues:
* The 3D view menu needs to be improved: support for sub collections,
staying open on shift+click, access from the 3D view header somewhere,
shortcut key display.
* Currently collection hiding just controls per-object hiding, we plan
to separate this state still so alt+H doesn't affect collection hiding.
H hides selected objects, Shift+H hides unselected objects, and Alt+H
reveals hidden objects.
This hiding state is distinct from restrict viewport and render, and
meant for temporarily hiding objects without affecting more persistent
collection hiding.
Object hiding is per view-layer, same as selection. It affects the
viewport and any preview renders in there, but not final renders.
In the outliner, different icons are now used for temporary hiding, and
restrict viewport and render. Hidden objects are greyed out.
Remaining design issues:
* For lamps we probably still want to keep their effect on the scene,
currently they are fully disabled by hiding. Arguably mesh lights or
even objects being reflected or casting shadows are not that different
but perhaps the special lamp exception from local view should remain.
* We need a feature still to disabled this hiding for specific viewports,
for render or animation preview where you want to see the entire scene
while working in another view.
* We need a new icon for restrict viewport, for now it uses a grid similar
to the 2.4 icon.
* Hiding objects does not preserve selection state as it did in 2.7,
it's probably convenient to support this again?
