With the asset identifier introduced in the previous commit, we can now
locate an asset just from its `AssetRepresentation`, without requiring
information from the asset library and the file browser storage. With
this we can remove some hacks and function parameters. A RNA/BPY
function is also affected, but I didn't remove the paramter to keep
compatibility. It's simply ignored and not required anymore, noted this
in the parameter description (noted for T102877).
When applying the "Bake Action" operator in pose mode
it could throw an error saying "Nothing to Bake"
even though bones are selected
That is because the code was looking for a selected armature
But in Pose Mode, clicking into empty space to de-select would also
deselect the armature.
Then box selecting would not make the armature selected again

This patch makes the Bake Actions operator fills the Start Frame & End From with that of the Preview Range if "Use Preview Range" is enabled.

I18n: make a few messages translatable
* Missing Paths * in the Presets menu when no preset exists yet.
The White Noise entry in the Add Node menu is the only one lacking a "Texture" suffix, which doesn't seem justified since the node itself is already called "White Noise Texture". Rename the entry its name can be extracted and used for the node--and for consistency.
New object material node names (Principled BSDF, Material Output) come from a preset node tree. The nodes' names need to be translated after creation.

Many reports and a few labels used string formatting without
explicitly calling tip_() or iface_(), so the untranslated message
was used instead of the translated one, even when it was extracted.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D16405
The property assignment operators' tooltips were never actually
translated when they were constructed dynamically from the description
in the prop's RNA.
This was visible when using such operators in menus (example I found
was the Marker Settings, Shift + E in the Movie Clip Editor).
"%s: %s" is already extracted elsewhere, might as well use it.

Show the windowing environment on non MS-Windows/Apple systems,
since X11/WAYLAND are selected startup there was no convenient way
for users to know which back-end was being used.
Include the windowing environment in the About splash & system-info.txt
since it will be useful for handling bug reports.
This commit adds a private API call not intended for general use
as I would like to be able to remove this later and it's only needed
in the specific case of testing if Blender is using WAYLAND or X11
(which maybe be used via XWayland).
Python scripts can already inspect the system to check which windowing
environment used, the API call is mainly useful for troubleshooting.

This adds support for showing geometry passed to the Viewer in the 3d
viewport (instead of just in the spreadsheet). The "viewer geometry"
bypasses the group output. So it is not necessary to change the final
output of the node group to be able to see the intermediate geometry.
**Activation and deactivation of a viewer node**
* A viewer node is activated by clicking on it.
* Ctrl+shift+click on any node/socket connects it to the viewer and
makes it active.
* Ctrl+shift+click in empty space deactivates the active viewer.
* When the active viewer is not visible anymore (e.g. another object
is selected, or the current node group is exit), it is deactivated.
* Clicking on the icon in the header of the Viewer node toggles whether
its active or not.
**Pinning**
* The spreadsheet still allows pinning the active viewer as before.
When pinned, the spreadsheet still references the viewer node even
when it becomes inactive.
* The viewport does not support pinning at the moment. It always shows
the active viewer.
**Attribute**
* When a field is linked to the second input of the viewer node it is
displayed as an overlay in the viewport.
* When possible the correct domain for the attribute is determined
automatically. This does not work in all cases. It falls back to the
face corner domain on meshes and the point domain on curves. When
necessary, the domain can be picked manually.
* The spreadsheet now only shows the "Viewer" column for the domain
that is selected in the Viewer node.
* Instance attributes are visualized as a constant color per instance.
**Viewport Options**
* The attribute overlay opacity can be controlled with the "Viewer Node"
setting in the overlays popover.
* A viewport can be configured not to show intermediate viewer-geometry
by disabling the "Viewer Node" option in the "View" menu.
**Implementation Details**
* The "spreadsheet context path" was generalized to a "viewer path" that
is used in more places now.
* The viewer node itself determines the attribute domain, evaluates the
field and stores the result in a `.viewer` attribute.
* A new "viewer attribute' overlay displays the data from the `.viewer`
attribute.
* The ground truth for the active viewer node is stored in the workspace
now. Node editors, spreadsheets and viewports retrieve the active
viewer from there unless they are pinned.
* The depsgraph object iterator has a new "viewer path" setting. When set,
the viewed geometry of the corresponding object is part of the iterator
instead of the final evaluated geometry.
* To support the instance attribute overlay `DupliObject` was extended
to contain the information necessary for drawing the overlay.
* The ctrl+shift+click operator has been refactored so that it can make
existing links to viewers active again.
* The auto-domain-detection in the Viewer node works by checking the
"preferred domain" for every field input. If there is not exactly one
preferred domain, the fallback is used.
Known limitations:
* Loose edges of meshes don't have the attribute overlay. This could be
added separately if necessary.
* Some attributes are hard to visualize as a color directly. For example,
the values might have to be normalized or some should be drawn as arrays.
For now, we encourage users to build node groups that generate appropriate
viewer-geometry. We might include some of that functionality in future versions.
Support for displaying attribute values as text in the viewport is planned as well.
* There seems to be an issue with the attribute overlay for pointclouds on
nvidia gpus, to be investigated.

Currently node group assets are supported, but using them by dragging
from the asset browser is cumbersome. This patch adds all node group
assets from user asset libraries and the current file libraries to the
add node search menu and the link drag search menu.
Node groups added through the search will have their "options" hidden,
meaning the data-block selector is displayed. This helps keep the UI
clean, and the selector shouldn't be necessary anyway.
To make that possible, metadata like the node tree type and its inputs
and outputs has to be saved in the file. This requires re-saving the
files that contain the assets with the patch applied.
The node add search operator is moved from Python to C++ to ease
development and allow more flexibility. It supports a tooltip that
gives the description of assets.
Currently the node groups are added with the asset system's existing
"Append & Reuse" behavior. It's likely that linking should be possible
in the future too, but for now the idea is to use the more foolproof
option that doesn't create dependencies between files.
Because loading assets can potentially take a long time, the search
menu refreshes its items as new assets are loaded. However, changing
the search field is necessary to see the update.

All of the operators in vertex paint mode didn't work properly with
the new color attribute system. They only worked on byte color type
attributes on the face corner domain.
Since there are four possible combinations of domains and types now,
it mostly ended up being simpler to convert the code to C++ and use
the geometry component API for retrieving attributes, interpolating
between domains, etc. The code changes ended up being fairly large,
but the result should be simpler now.

Add three operators to the Collections properties panel:
- `object.instance_offset_to_cursor`, which is already available from
the Object properties panel. The operator works on the active
collection, though, so it's weird to not have it in the Collections
panel.
- `object.instance_offset_from_object` is a new operator, which performs
the same operation as above, but then based on the active object's
evaluated world position.
- `object.instance_offset_to_cursor` is also new, and performs the
opposite of the first operator: it moves the 3D cursor to the
collection's instance offset.
The first two operators make it easier to set the instance offset. The
last operator makes it possible to actually see the offset in the 3D
viewport; drawing it using some overlay could also work, but that would
be more effort to get right, and then snapping the 3D cursor would still
be useful.
The operators are placed in a popup menu, as to not clutter the
interface too much with various buttons.

When expanding the data path for the context, use Context.temp_override
to extract context members. Without this, only context-members available
in the preferences were used which misses members which are likely to
be useful.
Iterate over all windows, areas and regions showing unique member as
candidates. The search is limited to WINDOW/PREVIEW region types, the
preferences space type is also excluded. See the doc-string for
rna_path_prop_search_for_context for additional notes on this.
Currently strings are used for cases where a list of identifiers would
be useful to show.
Add support for string properties to reference a callback to populate
candidates to show when editing a string. The user isn't prevented from
typing in text not found in this list, it's just useful as a reference.
Support for expanding the following strings has been added:
- Operator, menu & panel identifiers in the keymap editor.
- WM operators that reference data-paths expand using the
Python-consoles auto-complete functionality.
- Names of keying sets for insert/delete keyframe operators.
Details:
- `bpy.props.StringProperty` takes an option `search` callback.
- A new string callback has been added, set via
`RNA_def_property_string_search_func` or
`RNA_def_property_string_search_func_runtime`.
- Addresses usability issue highlighted by T89560,
where setting keying set identifiers as strings isn't practical.
- Showing additional right-aligned text in the search results is
supported but disabled by default as the text is too cramped in most
string search popups where the feature would make sense. It could be
enabled as part of other layout tweaks.
