Partially reverts 2250b5cefe.
Removing the user count and fake user count icons was controversial (which was
expected) and there are a few further changes needed, that won't make it in
time for the release, see D9946.
While there is a design to bring back the user count and fake user indicators,
a new design idea was proposed that the UI team wants to follow. This came too
late for the 2.92 release, the new design is targeted at the 2.93 release now.
Meanwhile, UI team decision was to simply revert the design changes.
The new design is being worked on in https://developer.blender.org/T84669.
Note that this commit does not revert some internal changes done in
2250b5cefe. Namely the introduction of `ed_util_ops.c` and data-block
operators in there. These will still be needed in the new design.
The Asset Browser will be disabled and not available for the 2.92 release. In
alpha/beta builds, there will be an "Asset Browser" option under Preferences >
Experimental, if the developer extras are enabled.
Note that this also disables related UI elements (e.g. "Mark Asset" buttons,
Preferences settings for asset libraries, etc.).
The code is still in master of course, development and testing will continue
there. But there simply needs to be too much polishing and fixing before the
2.92 release, plus there are some design decisions to be reevaluated.

"F-Curve Visibility" is a bad UI label for a property that only affects
the display of unselected F-Curves. This commit clarifies the property
name by making it more specific with the word "Unselected", and by using
the word "Opacity". "F-Curve" is redundant in the UI label anyway because
it is included in the panel title.

Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D10043
The `object.collision.use` flag was treated as a redundant marker
of the existence of the modifier, going as far as adding/removing
it when the value was changed, which is not actually very useful.
Removing the modifier loses its position in the stack, and requires
a dependency graph rebuild. It feels it may be a legacy flag?
What would be useful however is the ability to toggle collisions
dynamically without removing the modifier. This patch adjusts the
code to keep the modifier when the flag is disabled, and add it
if it doesn't exist when the flag is enabled. The modifier now
checks the flag at the start and quickly exits after cleaning
up stale data. The redesigned setting is exposed in the UI.
Collisions can't be disabled by simply using the modifier enable
flags because the modifier merely saves a snapshot of the mesh at
a certain point of the modifier stack for other objects to use,
and thus has to be able to clear the stale data.

All eevee scene properties are not animatable due to
`RNA_define_animate_sdna(false)` so there is no need for an animation
decorator here (would not show anyways).
Not sure if setting use_property_decorate to False and then manually
adding one again was a hack in rB7fc60bff14a6 to get the alignment
right, but seems to work good now without it.
Note: there also seems to be an inconsistency here generally:
- Eevee reserves room for an animation decorator in almost every panel
(except for "Sampling" and "Indirect Lighting") even though almost none
are animatable (except for stuff in "Hair" and "Film"). This looks nice
if multiple panels are expanded (except for mentioned "Sampling" and
"Indirect Lighting" -- maybe these should also reserve the room?)
- Cycles does not use animation decorators at all (even though pretty
much everything is animatable here -- maybe these should also use
animation decorators?)
- Then there is also the 'shared' "Grease Pencil", "Freestyle" and
"Colormanagement" -- these dont use animation decorators, but some stuff
is animatable...
Regarding the note: not sure what the guidelines here are, if this is
isolated to each panel then there is lots of stuff for eevee that could
set use_property_decorate to False, if multiple open panels are
considered (for nice visual consistency between them), then there is
romm for improvement elsewhere, too.

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.

Mainly updated the Mantaflow version. It includes the new viscosity solver plugin based on the method from 'Accurate Viscous Free Surfaces for Buckling, Coiling, and Rotating Liquids' (Batty & Bridson).
In the UI, this update adds a new 'Viscosity' section to the fluid modifier UI (liquid domains only). For now, there is a single 'strength' value to control the viscosity of liquids.
This adds a popover to the properties editor. Currently the only setting
is for controlling outliner to properties syncing.
Because we cannot define a perfect heuristic to determine when
properties editors should change tabs based on outliner icon selection,
we need an option to enable or disable this behavior per properties
editor.
There are 3 options for controlling the syncing. Auto uses the heuristic
to only allow tab switching when a properties editor and outliner share
a border. On and off enable and disable syncing respectively.

Normally, pure text buttons have no padding at their edges so they
align with edges of buttons, see D9058. However, in several cases
there are labels aligned to the right side of a list widget row,
so they're missing padding against the right edge.
The fix is to use emboss = 'NONE' for such labels, which changes
the drawing style, adding padding on the right edge. (Normally so
labels aligned with the text from non-embossed buttons). This is
not necessarily intended, but it works properly.

This bug was caused by making it so that non-embossed modifier icon
buttons could become an operator button and retain their red highlight
for disabled modifiers. The icon button needs emboss turned off, but
in earlier versions of Blender, `UI_EMBOSS_NONE` would be overridden
by animation or red alert states.
Instead of abusing "NONE" to mean "none unless there is animation or
red alert", this commit adds a new emboss flag for that situation,
`UI_EMBOSS_NONE_OR_STATUS`, which uses no emboss unless there is an
animation state, or another status. There are only a few situations
where this is necessary, so the change isn't too big.

The previous design is rather old and has a couple of problems:
* Scalability: The current solution of adding little icon buttons next to the
data-block name field doesn't scale well. It only works if there's a small
number of operations. We need to be able to place more items there for better
data-block management. Especially with the introduction of library overrides.
* Discoverability: It's not obvious what some of the icons do. They appear and
disappear, but it's not obvious why some are available at times and others
not.
* Unclear Status: Currently their library status (linked, indirectly linked,
broken link, library override) isn't really clear.
* Unusual behavior: Some of the icon buttons allow Shift or Ctrl clicking to
invoke alternative behaviors. This is not a usual pattern in Blender.
This patch does the following changes:
* Adds a menu to the right of the name button to access all kinds of operations
(create, delete, unlink, user management, library overrides, etc).
* Make good use of the "disabled hint" for tooltips, to explain why buttons are
disabled. The UI team wants to establish this as a good practise.
* Use superimposed icons for duplicate and unlink, rather than extra buttons
(uses less space, looks less distracting and is a nice + consistent design
language).
* Remove fake user and user count button, they are available from the menu now.
* Support tooltips for superimposed icons (committed mouse hover feedback to
master already).
* Slightly increase size of the name button - it was already a bit small
before, and the move from real buttons to superimposed icons reduces usable
space for the name itself.
* More clearly differentiate between duplicate and creating a new data-block.
The latter is only available in the menu.
* Display library status icon on the left (linked, missing library, overridden,
asset)
* Disables "Make Single User" button - in review we weren't sure if there are
good use-cases for it, so better to see if we can remove it.
Note that I do expect some aspects of this design to change still. I think some
changes are problematic, but others disagreed. I will open a feedback thread on
devtalk to see what others think.

This tool implements smearing for multires displacement over the limit
surface, similar to how smearing for colors and topology slide works.
When used the displacement values of the vertices "slide" over the
topology, creating the effect of smearing the surface detail.
As the brush just modifies displacement values instead of coordinates,
the total displacement of the affected area doesn't change. This means
that this smearing effect can be used multiple times over the same area
without generating any artifacts in the topology.
When the brush is used with the pinch or expand smear modes,
displacement differences are pushed into the same area, creating hard
surface effects without pinching the topology.
As any other brush that relies on the limit surface (like displacement
erasers), this will work better after using apply base.

easily outdated and automatically refreshing it all the time is not an option
because it would be a consistently running, quite expensive process. So a

This button can also be used to switch back from a custom preview to a

a way to explain that better.

* Move button to browse for a custom preview to the right of the preview, as
icon-only. We have a similar layout in other places (UI-lists, matcaps).
* Don't make the details panel a sub-panel. Looked weird because the parent
doesn't have a header.
* Add info icon to "No asset selected", looks a bit friendlier.
* Minor cleanups in the UI script.

* Sidebar showing the metadata of the currently active file (name, preview,
description and tags), which can be edited for assets in the "Current File"
asset library. (For others it will reset on reload.)
* The sidebar includes a button to load a custom preview image from a file.
* Make asset files draggable (with preview image).
* If a library with invalid path is selected, a message is drawn in the main

One of the core design aspects of the Asset Browser is that users can "mount"
custom asset libraries via the Preferences. Currently an asset library is just
a directory with one or more .blend files in it. We could easily support a
single .blend file as asset library as well (rather than a directory). It's
just disabled currently.
Note that in earlier designs, asset libraries were called repositories.
Idea is simple: In Preferences > File Paths, you can create custom libraries,
by setting a name and selecting a path. The name is ensured to be unique. If
the name or path are empty, the Asset Browser will not show it in the list of
available asset libraries.
The library path is not checked for validity, the Asset Browser will allow
selecting invalid libraries, but show a message instead of the file list, to
help the user understand what's going on.

This is similar to c4a2067130130d, but applies to the general UI and is only
about single data-blocks. Here there was a similar problem: How can buttons
pass the data they represent to operators? We currently resort to ugly ad-hoc
solutions like `UI_context_active_but_get_tab_ID()`. So the operator would need
to know that it is executed on a tab button that represents a data-block.
A single button can now hand operators a data-block to operate on. The operator
can request it via the "id" context member (`CTX_data_pointer_get_type(C, "id",
&RNA_ID)` in C, `bpy.context.id` in .py).
In this commit, it is already set in the following places:
* Generic RNA button code sets it to the pointed to data-block, if the button
represents a data-block RNA pointer property. (I.e for general data-block
search buttons.)
* Data-block selectors (`templateID`) set it to the currently active data-block.
* The material slot UI-List sets it for each slot to the material it represents.
The button context menu code is modified so its operators use the context set
for the layout of its parent button (i.e. `layout.context_pointer_set()`).
No user visible changes. This new design isn't actually used yet. It will be
