Initializing the description property was completely forgotten.
It also seems it may be missing sometimes, so use `get`.
Also, clean values when there is no data, and correctly use
the return value of `get_value_eval` in one instance.
This commit fixes the custom property edit operator for the the case of
editing group properties. Currently this isn't supported very well, the
data is converted to a string, but the operator shouldn't fail anyway.
This allows editing properties created like this:
C.object['abuse'] = {'parent' : ['child1', 'child2']}
These changes reflect some issues with the design of the operator.
Requiring guessing the type of the data does not work well at all, and
makes code more complicated. In the future this operator can be updated
to use a type drop-down.

This commit fixes editing the value of a list of strings custom property
with the "Custom Property Edit" operator. This sort of custom property
isn't very well supported in general, but editing the values should
work properly anyway.

The storage of IDProperty UI data (min, max, default value, etc) is
quite complicated. For every property, retrieving a single one of these
values involves three string lookups. First for the "_RNA_UI" group
property, then another for a group with the property's name, then for
the data value name. Not only is this inefficient, it's hard to reason
about, unintuitive, and not at all self-explanatory.
This commit replaces that system with a UI data struct directly in the
IDProperty. If it's not used, the only cost is of a NULL pointer. Beyond
storing the description, name, and RNA subtype, derived structs are used
to store type specific UI data like min and max.
Note that this means that addons using (abusing) the `_RNA_UI` custom
property will have to be changed. A few places in the addons repository
will be changed after this commit with D9919.
**Before**
Before, first the _RNA_UI subgroup is retrieved the _RNA_UI group,
then the subgroup for the original property, then specific UI data
is accessed like any other IDProperty.
```
prop = rna_idprop_ui_prop_get(idproperties_owner, "prop_name", create=True)
prop["min"] = 1.0
```
**After**
After, the `id_properties_ui` function for RNA structs returns a python
object specifically for managing an IDProperty's UI data.
```
ui_data = idproperties_owner.id_properties_ui("prop_name")
ui_data.update(min=1.0)
```
In addition to `update`, there are now other functions:
- `as_dict`: Returns a dictionary of the property's UI data.
- `clear`: Removes the property's UI data.
- `update_from`: Copy UI data between properties,
even if they have different owners.

Use utility functions to decompose data paths and resolve the
RNA property from a data-path.
Replaces in-line string manipulation and RNA access.
This allows more complex data paths to be used, where previously string
literals in a data path could break the simple data-path handling logic.
Generic context operators now look-up the RNA properties to extract
their description (when it's available).
Add `bl_rna_utils.data_path.property_definition_from_data_path()`
to handle the details of accessing the RNA property definition.
Clear the weird term "Metaelement".
These are the metaballs (elements) inside one metaball objects.
- "Meta Ball" to "Metaball"
- "Metaelement", "Meta element" to "Metaball element"

The "quick setup" dialog is actually a 'menu', and the "splash screen" block
contains the UI_BLOCK_LOOP flag which causes the buttons' text to align
to the left, however, usually regular buttons have centered text.
As a workaround, add the UI_BLOCK_QUICK_SETUP flag which prevents
the text from being left-aligned.

Support Python 3.10a5 or 3.9x with support explicitly enabled.
- Enable Python's postponed annotations for Blender's RNA classes
types registered on startup.
- Using postponed annotations has implications for how they are defined,
since they must evaluate in the modules name-space instead of the
classes name-space. See changes to annotations in `release/scripts`.
- Use `from __future__ import annotations` at the top of the module
to ensure the script will run with Python 3.10.
- Old logic is kept since it could be used if PEP-649 is supported.

wm.context_* operators typically have their options set by menus
or key bindings.
Re-using options in this case can cause problems where two
actions that change unrelated properties will re-use a setting
from the previous execution.
For example changing the lights Power impacted
changing it's Radius afterwards.
Approximately 138 changes in the spelling of compound words
and proper names like "Light Probe", "Shrink/Fatten", "Face Map".
In many cases, hyphens were used where they aren't correct, like
"re-fit". Other common changes include:
- "Datablock" -> "data-block"
- "Floating point" -> "floating-point"
- "Ngons" -> "n-gons"
These changes help give the language used in the interface
a consistent, more professional feel.

Remove `exec()` and `eval()` calls from `WM_OT_properties_edit` where
possible. This not only results in simpler, cleaner code, but also
removes the necessity for `repr(value)` to evaluate to a Python
expression that in turn evaluates to `value` again.
No functional changes.

One should be able to edit overridable IDProps values, but never their
settings/definitions.
Note that being able to add new IDProps to overrides is still a TODO.
Reported by Josephbburg (@Josephbburg) over blenderchat, thanks.
The panel looks out of place with the rest of Blender's UI and the
text is cropped. With property split turned on and a few smaller
tweaks these issues are fixed.

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.

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 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).
See: T66304
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).
