The colons are not necessary in these situations because it's clear
that the label applies to the next group of buttons anyway, and they
add unecessary visual complexity. Committing as part of D9924.
Having a centeral place to find a list of all library overrides should be
useful for managing production scenes where library overrides are used a lot.
This change adds the individually overridden properties of a data-block under
the data-block itself. Just how we show modifiers, constraints or pose channels
there. This way we can also expose library override operations/options better
in future.
There's also a filter option for the library overrides now, so they can be
hidden. It is only available in the View Layer display mode though, like the
other filter options.
One internal change this has to do is adding more informative return values to
undo pushes and the library override functions called by it. That way we can
send a notifier when library overrides change for the Outliner to know when to
rebuild the tree.

This adds an invert toggle for the outliner object state filters.
There are some cases where we want a filter for invertable states (Selected,
Unselected) and having a single toggle to invert the filter reduces the
number of separate filter types needed. This removes the "Hidden" filter
which can now be replicated with an inverted "Visible" filter.

The outliner context menu has options to enter and exit edit mode, but
they only show in edit mode, and they don't work. This removes the
broken entries and related code.

Add a column of icons in the left gutter of the outliner for controlling
the interaction modes of objects. When an object is in a mode other than
object mode, the mode icon will draw to the left of that object. Any
other objects that are valid to be added or swapped into the mode are
drawn with a dot to the left of the object.
Clicking the dot to the left of an object will swap that object with the
current active object in the interaction mode. For edit and pose modes,
ctrl clicking the dot will add that object to the current mode.
Clicking the mode icon next to the active object removes it and all
other objects from the current mode.
The behavior is nearly identical to the previous edit/pose mode toggling
by selecting the mesh and armature datablocks, with additional support
for all interaction modes.
Currently two undo steps are pushed to prevent an assert.

Move the common entries (View and Area) into a static method to be
called from other menus to avoid duplicating the New Collection and ID
Paste operators.
This resolves T73673 by allowing delete hierarchy in all outliner view
modes. It also unifies the collection and object hierarchy delete into a
single operator like in rBae98a033c856. This makes it easier to delete
all selected collection and object hierarchies at once.
This also removes the old object delete hierarchy code in favor of the
batch delete code which has been default for over a year.

In the industry standard keymap, both deleting objects and collections
were mapped to the same keys causing confusion when only collections
could be deleted through the keymap.
This adds a new delete operator to delete all selected objects and
collections, accessible from both the keymap and context menu. Now any
selected objects and collections are deleted when Delete is chosen from
the keymap. This also updates the tooltip description which was
previously undocumented.
Resolves T67462
Use a regular context menu as a fallback for the outliner.
If there are no specific actions for the item under the cursor,
fall through to opening a regular menu.
This lets menu search find the context menu items which were previously
unavailable as menu search wont run operators.
Adds a toggle to the filter menu for outliner synced selection. Enabled
by default, this ensures selection is synced between objects, bones, and
sequences. An active outliner element theme color is added to indicate
which element is active.
Synced selection is controlled on the operator level. Each operator
that modifies selection for objects, bones, sequences, or outliner
elements needs to call the respective ED_outliner_select_sync_from..
function to tag outliners to be synced.
Syncing is done lazily on outliner draw.
New icons from Andrzej Ambroż / Jendrzych:
- Bespoke icon for creating new Collections
- Special icons for Rigid Body and Rigid Body Constraints (Physics Properties)
- New icons for Holdout and Indirect Only toggles in the Outliner
- New generic Cursor icon for cases that are not related to either Orientation or Pivot
Many other tweaks to existing icons, including:
- Add & Remove Keyframe
- Weight Paint & Collision Modifier
- Tablet Pressure Sensitivity
- Playback icons
No major API change here, only in the outliner restriction column
variables (e.g., show_restrict_column_selectable > show_restrict_column_select).
* Get rid of _INSTANCE (introduced on b1af682001).
* Differentiate (everywhere but the API) between HIDE (temporary) and VIEWPORT (global).
* Use the expected icon for restrict viewport (same as objects and modifiers).
* selectable > select
See T61578 for discussions and mockups.
Visibility Options
==================
We are adding more granular control over restriction columns in the outliner,
exposing "indirect only" and "holdout" as options, and change the way
users enable/disable collections in a viewlayer.
We also rename the object viewport restriction to hide instance.
So the options we have are:
Collection
----------
* Render Visibility
* Instance Visibility
* Selectable
(View) Layer Collection
-----------------------
* Enable
* Holdout
* Indirect Only
* Viewport
Shortcuts
=========
Isolate Collection
------------------
* Ctr + click isolates the collection.
It turns all its parents and children "visible", and all the other
collections "invisible".
If ALL the collections were already properly set, we re-set the
collections to their default value.
Set Collection Inside Collections and Objects
---------------------------------------------
* Shift + click: Set/unset inside collections and objects.
We only set objects values as well when we are in View Layer mode and
(obviously) when the objects have a matching property.
Icons
=====
Little reminder that we will need better icons for holdout, indirect only, and
probably instanced (nothing wrong with the current, but it differs from
the proposal when it is turned off).
Also, we need to decide where do we want the modifier/bones/... icons to
be (in which column) and ideally make sure their icons match the ones we
use for collections/objects.
At the moment those are using the screen icon, which is not being used
by collections.

This partially reverts commit a77feabb51,
removing the shallow 'duplicate hierarchy' option from outliner.
Core changes from that commit in BKE_collections are kept.
Point is, you may want to duplicate your set of collections, but not
duplicate all their objects.
Some notes:
* Am rather skeptical about the practice of using operator name to
define behavior of some common exec code. Imho, that should be a single
operator with an enum to refine its behavior (@cambpellbarton may also
have an opinion here?). Left it as-is for now, because this seems to be
used by other operators too in that code. :/
* @dfelinto, @pablovazquez, @billreynish am not so happy with current
names, but cannot find really good short ones either... Also, shouldn't
we move those into a dedicated `Duplicate` sub-menu?
Now that we have better options (duplicate collection and duplicate linked) there is no
longer need for the original dupli operator.
In fact, as it was it was of little use if you ever had nested collections.
As per the suggestion on T57064, this introduces two new options to duplicate collections.
We then have:
* Duplicate > Collection (New collection with linked content).
* Duplicate > Hierachy (Duplicate entire hierarchy and make all contents single user).
* Duplicate > Linked Hierarchy (Duplicate entire hierarchy keeping content linked with original).
Development TODO: `single_object_users` can/should use the new functions.

Show One Level, Hide One Level, Show Active, Show Hierarchy were taking
four items on the context menu when they are not accessed that often
from the context menu (they all have shortcuts).
The "View" name is used to match other editors View menus.
Mainly the first of their category or when they need to be highlighted:
* Delete
* Enable Viewport/Render (match icons to make a visual connection)
* ViewLayers (it's used pretty often so it makes it easier to find)
Also group Show/Show All, Hide/Hide All together.
Now collection and objects can be either:
* Disabled for all the view layers.
* Hidden for a view layer but not necessarily for all others.
* Visible for a view layer but not necessarily for all others.
Regarding icons: Whatever we decide to use for the "Hidden for all view
layers" needs to be a toggle-like icon. Because when viewing "Scenes"
instead of "View Layer" in the outliner we should be able to edit the
collection "Hidden for all the view layers" as an on/off option.
The operators are accessible via a Visibility context menu or shortcuts:
* Ctrl + Click: Isolate collection (use shift to extend).
* Alt + Click: Disable collection.
* Shift + Click: Hide/Show collection and its children (objects and collections)
Things yet to be tackled:
* Object outliner context menu can also get a Visibility sub-menu.
* Get better icons for viewport enable/disable.
Note:
* When using emulate 3 button mouse alt+click is used for 2d panning.
In this case users have to use the operator from the menu.

Thanks to the reviewers and William Reynish and Julien Kasper in
particular for the feedback.
In the outliner, right click > view layer > set indirect only. This is
like clearing camera ray visibility on objects in the collection, and is
temporary until we have more general dynamic overrides.
In the outliner, right click > view layer > set holdout. This is
temporary until we have more general dynamic overrides, but helps
Spring production for now.
