This patch improves the positioning of child windows when on monitors
that are arranged vertically (any above any other). When calculating a
window position in Ghost coordinates from GL coordinates we were using
monitor height, which can give incorrect values when desktop is taller
than any single monitor. So use desktop height instead.

This patch makes the "Render" window a top-level window, not a child of
the main window, which was the case in blender versions prior to 2.93.
This means it is no longer "on top", nor is the icon grouped on the
taskbar in the same way, but you can Alt-Tab between it and the main
window. This change only affects the Windows platform as the other
platforms behave this way.
See D11576 for links to negative feedback that prompts this change.

This moves the flash on mode transfer effect option from the overlays to
an operator property of the mode transfer operator.
- This effect is intended to show the target object when no overlays or
a minimal set of overlays is enabled. Making it part of the whole set of
overlays invalidates this use case.
- The effect is not intended to be configurable per viewport, it should
be a global option.
The effect is still implemented using the overlay engine (instead of a
draw modal callback) due to performance and drawing artifacts. Having it
implemented as an overlay with runtime timer data in the objects makes
also possible to run multiple animations at the same time without any
visual glitches.

Note: Linking in this case as in link vs. append. Easily confused with linking
a data-block to multiple usages (e.g. single material used by multiple
objects).
Adds a drop-down to the Asset Browser header to choose between Link and Append.
This is probably gonna be a temporary place, T54642 shows where this could be
placed eventually.
Linking support is crucial for usage of the asset browser in production
environments. It just wasn't enabled yet because a) the asset project currently
focuses on single user, not production assets, and b) because there were many
unkowns still for the workflow that have big impact on production use as well.
With the recently held asset workshop I'm more confident with enabling linking,
as design ideas relevant to production use were confirmed.

The operator run when dropping objects would duplicate the dropped object and
place that in the scene, even though that was just appended. Addressed by
making the duplication optional for the operator. If the duplication is not
requested, the object is just added to the scene (if needed), repositioned
based on the drop location and selected (deselecting other objects).
This makes the operator work as expected when using it to drop assets.

When using large sequences including audio the drawing of the audio on
top of the strip takes a lot of time. This effects the playback
performance heavily.
During the animation playback performance there was a solution for this
by only drawing the playhead overlay. This was reverted for the sequence
editor as it didn't update the color strips when they were animated.
This patch checks if there are animated color strips if so the full

One drawback to trying to predict the number of threads that will be
used in the `task_graph` is that we are only sure of the number when the
threads are running.
Using `BLI_task_parallel_range` allows the driver to
choose the best thread distribution through `parallel_reduce`.
The benefit is most evident on hardware with fewer cores.

This is an adaptation of {D11488}.
A disadvantage of manually setting the iter ranges per thread is that
we don't know how many threads are running in the background and so we
don't know how to best distribute the ranges.
To solve this limitation we can use `parallel_reduce` and thus let the
driver choose the best distribution of ranges among the threads.
This proved to be especially beneficial for computers with few cores.

Because of the added sanity checks in rB14508ef100c9 (D11492), seeking
in proxies would not work correctly any more. This is because it wasn't
working as intended before, but in most cases this wouldn't be
noticeable. However now when the sanity checks are tripped it is very
noticeable that something is wrong
The indexer tried to use dts values for time stamps when we used pts in
our decode functions to get the time positions. This would make it
start in the wrong GOP frames when searching. Now that we enforce no
crossing of GOP frames when decoding after seek, this would lead to
issues.
Now we correctly use pts (or dts if pts is not available) and thus we
don't have any seeking issues because of time stamp format missmatch.

When sampling ImBuf can be a char or a float buffer. Current sampling
functions added overhead by checking which kind of buffer was passed
every pixel that was sampled. When performing image processing this
check can be removed outside the inner loop adding 5% of performance
increase in the `IMB_transform` operator.
Inside the sequencer the cropping and transform of images/buffers were
implemented locally. This reduced the optimizations that a compiler
could do and added confusing code styles. This patch adds
`IMB_transform` to reduce the confusion and increases compiler
optimizations as more code can be inlined and we can keep track of
indices inside the inner loop.
This increases end-user performance by 30% when playing back aa video

Allows to define properties which will have proper units displayed
