The file subversion is no longer used in the Python API or user interface,
and is now internal to Blender.
User interface, Python API and file I/O metadata now use more consistent
formatting for version numbers. Official releases use "2.83.0", "2.83.1",
and releases under development use "2.90.0 Alpha", "2.90.0 Beta".
Some Python add-ons may need to lower the Blender version in bl_info to
(2, 83, 0) or (2, 90, 0) if they used a subversion number higher than 0.

This change is in preparation of LTS releases, and also brings us more
in line with semantic versioning.
Fixes T76058.

There are cases when a user can accidentally assign an operator to toggle an
invalid property to e.g. left click, which shows Python errors to the users.
Rather than throw an error and e.g. break 3D viewport selection for the user,
just print an error to the console.
The root cause of such bugs should be fixed as well, but a working Blender
is most important here.
This commit is a full refactor of the grease pencil modules including Draw Engine, Modifiers, VFX, depsgraph update, improvements in operators and conversion of Sculpt and Weight paint tools to real brushes.
Also, a huge code cleanup has been done at all levels.
Thanks to @fclem for his work and yo @pepeland and @mendio for the testing and help in the development.

This avoids the ambiguity with the Cut operator in the Sequencer, which could be confused with Cut/Copy/Paste.
Use 'Split' for the operator and 'Blade' for the active tool.

Preset tracking settings is missing a comma here.
Without a comma this will result in an implicit string concatenation.
This was probably not wanted.

Fluid domains with (auto-generated) particle systems were set to wireframe drawtype automatically. This was a convenience feature that made particles visible immediately. As the auto switching is sometimes a bit annoying though this has been removed. Instead, the Quick Liquid Operator switches the viewport shading type to wireframe.
Thanks @mano-wii for providing the patch!
The original code assumed that when `animation_player_preset` was not
`CUSTOM`, the `animation_player` path would be empty. This is a bad
assumption, as it can be quite useful to be able to toggle between a custom
and a built-in player. As such, `animation_player` should not be reset to
an empty string when a non-custom player is chosen.
This defaults to selection when not using a gizmo.
The previous behavior to drag anywhere can be set in the tool settings
or by selecting the fallback tool (Alt-W).

The //Distance from Object// and //Distance from Camera// modifiers still used the old 2.79 matrix multiplication syntax.

With Mantaflow the current smoke modifier UI will accommodate both smoke and liquids.
In addition, there is now an option for Mantaflow liquids in the quick effects section ("Quick Liquid").

Implement T66304 as an experimental option,
available under the preferences "Experimental" section.
- When enabled most tools in the 3D view have a gizmo.
- Dragging outside the gizmo uses the 'fallback' tool.
- The fallback tool can be changed or disabled in the tool options
or from a pie menu (Alt-W).
Previously, you could delete presets that were part of the blender
default install. Now we check if the preset file resides in the bundled
file paths. If so, prevent deletion of the preset.
