Previously UI view items would support custom drop controllers (so they
could react to data being dragged over them and dropped). This is now
more generalized so the views themselves can do this as well.
Main changes:
- Support calculating a bounding box for the view, so this can be used
for recognizing mouse hovering.
- Rename "drop controller" to "drop target", this is more clear, less
abstract naming.
- Generalize drop controllers/targets. There is a new
`ui::DropTargetInterface` now.
- Add support for drop targets in the `ui::AbstractView` base class, so
custom views can use this.

Align the labels on the tabs so that when you read them, your head is tilted
towards the content, instead of away.
When tabs are drawn to the right of panels in the sidebar, the labels are read
from bottom to top, which may suggest that this tab does not belong to the area.
This change does it like this:
* Sidebar on the right: the text is read from top to bottom.
* Sidebar on the left: the text keeps reading from bottom to top.

The Cycles light linking branch is using the tree view UI but it seemed
to use the "wrong" layout. It wasn't clear that the layout has to be
reactivated before building the view.
Make it harder to use the API wrong now by requiring the layout as
argument, so the building can ensure it's active.
A renaming of UI scale factors from names that imply a relationship to
monitor DPI to names that imply that they simply change "scale"

Various UI code would store the `AssetHandle` in a way that turns out to
be unsafe. The file-data is part of the file browser caching system that
releases file-data when a certain maximum of items is in the cache. So
even while just iterating over the assets, earlier iterated asset
handles may become invalid. Now asset handles are really treated as
volatile, short lived objects.
For the asset-view, the fix was more involved. There we need an RNA
collection of asset-handles, because the UI list code requires that. So
we create a dummy collection and get the asset handles as needed by
index. This again meant that I had to keep the index of the collection
and the asset-list in sync, so all filtering had to be moved to the UI
list.
I tried duplicating the file-data out of the cache instead, but that
caused problems with managing the memory/ownership of the preview
images.
`AssetHandle` should be removed and replaced by `AssetRepresentation`,
but this would be an even more disruptive change (breaking API
compatibility too).

These are not really about reading or writing .blend files, they are
general utilities for file-names/paths. Having to link to the
blendloader library just for these utilities is annoying.
Moved them to `BKE_blendfile.h` now, in agreement with Bastien.

Maximum distance of lines in screen space is limited. This limit seems
reasonable for FPS higher than 1, but UI allows to set 0.01 FPS with
soft. even lower values are possible.
This patch allows for normal operation within soft limits and labels are
still visible and quite usable within hard limits.

When the height of the editor couldn't fit the sidebar tabs, they would shrink
to a size too small to read the tab label.
This change matches the behaviour with the Properties Editor navigation bar,
by introducing the following improvements:
* Avoid truncating tab labels.
* Allow scrolling when tabs don't fit.
Behaviour is similar to how scrolling works in the Properties Editor navigation
bar, supporting mouse wheel up/down and MMB, and switching tabs with
`Ctrl+Wheel Up/Down`.

Decorator buttons would be skipped when setting the tooltip data for all
buttons in the layout, but the duplicated data would still be marked as
used, so not freed.
Don't allow the hover of mouse to auto-raise another window while you
are entering data into a text or number input.

After ed870f87b9, panels headers displayed inside panels had their

- "Lines" in the sense of number of lines
- "Number" can mean "amount, count" or "index, offset"
- "Second" can be an ordinal number or a unit
- "Root": add the brush curve to the "square root falloff" sense
- "Strip" can be a sequence or a type of hair rendering
- "Constant" in the sense of a value, for the Geometry Nodes add
submenu (#105447).
Additionally, extract:
- "Press a key" from the Keymap preferences.
- "MaskLayer", upon new mask layer creation

Search list's region is having its size members (winx and winy) set
to values that are one pixel too small. This causes text to look bad
as they are slightly off their pixel alignment.

Previously [D16255](https://developer.blender.org/D16255)
There is no option to adjust the edge_width like there is in the preferences for vertex_size and face_dot_size.
I only added the option for 3DView and UV/Image Editor, and limited both to a max size of 5 pixel, since the edges do not look very nice with too high values.
In the UV Editor only, there are always black outlines on the edges, I could not find a way to reduce the increasing thickness of these black outlines.
The default edge_width of 1 pixel:
Here the edge_width with a falue of 3:
And here the visible increase of the dark border of the edges and their overlap (even at the maxed size of 5):
Lastly for the 3DView the max edge_width of 5 looks like this:

No behavior change intended.
Many file drag & drop handlers used the icon assigned for dragging to
determine what type of data is dragged. This is fragile, for example
changing an icon would break drag & drop (!). This happened a few times,
e.g. see 3788003cda. It's also causing problems with #104830, which
changes how file browser drag data is handled.
Instead use the file extension to determine the file type.
- "Value" in the sense of color lightness is not the same word in
Japanese as other usages. See #105113.
- "Double" as a data type vs. a value.
Also extract "Custom Color Presets" in the tracking UI.
Run clang-format as well.
Pull Request #105187
Resolves issue with nearest filtering on UI Icons. Note that as
Metal does not support LOD bias as a parameter on a sampler
object, the original code has been modified to perform LOD
biasing at the shader level.
As GPU_SAMPLER_ICON is not widely used, it is more
efficient to apply directly to the affected shaders, rather
than workaround passing in the sampler LOD bias as a
separate value e.g. uniform or push constant.
Original PR feedback addressed to also refactor ICON
shaders to use consistent style for single and multi
Icon rendering.
