Changes include:
- Use `IFACE_` for UI labels set in the modifier panels
- Use a sub-sub-panel for transparency
- Fix grammar and spelling mistakes
- Use more natural user-friendly wording
- Make descriptions more specific and more useful
- Don't capitalize "line art" in descriptions (tooltips)
These changes are aimed at making the UI strings more consistent with
the rest of the UI and being more helpful to someone trying to understand
how to use the modifier.

This adds the LineArt grease pencil modifier.
It takes objects or collections as input and generates various grease
pencil lines from these objects with the help of the active scene
camera. For example it can generate contour lines, intersection lines
and crease lines to name a few.
This is really useful as artists can then use 3D meshes to automatically
generate grease pencil lines for characters, enviroments or other
visualization purposes.
These lines can then be baked and edited as regular grease pencil lines.

It should not be possible to set the scene collection's color tag
through rna. Also adds a missing notifier for setting the collection
color tag from python.
After rB452a1c7b3838 there were still a few cases where the old
collection icon was used in the interface. Replace these with the new
filled collection icon.
Print out messages into console instead when se cannot find expected
data (this is actually normal when source library gets edited).
Note that there seems to be some issue with the 'auto-cleanup' mechanism
removing no more valid override rules on file save, will check on that
next.
Related to T81059, found while investigating it.
This adds color tagging to collections. There are 8 color
options which are themable in the user preferences, with an additional
option for no color tag by default.
This adds a new filled collection icon and 8 colored variants of the
icon that can be themed in the user preferences.
In this commit the only interface to setting the color tags is through
Python, and there is nowhere in the interface where the collections are
shown colored. Setting and viewing the color tags from the outliner will
follow.

Right now:
- drag-drop in the Outliner prevents dropping inside linked collections
- drag-drop in the Outliner allows dropping inside overridden
collections (should not be the case)
- `Object Properties` > `Collections` panel allows to add to overridden
collection (should not be the case)
- `Object Properties` > `Collections` panel filters out non-local
collections (so adding to linked collections is forbidden)
- `bpy collection.objects.link()` allows to add to linked collections
(should not be the case)
- `bpy collection.objects.link()` allows to add to overridden
collections (should not be the case)
While this might be supported in the future for overriden collections,
these cases should not be allowed atm. since objects get lost on file
reload.
Note: for the case of the `Object Properties` > `Collections` panel,
this could be improved further to filter out overridden collections as
well.

The old layout of `PointerRNA` was confusing for historic reasons:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct {
void *data;
} id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
This patch updates it to:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct ID *owner_id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
Throughout the code base `id.data` was replaced with `owner_id`.
Furthermore, many explicit pointer type casts were added which
were implicit before. Some type casts to `ID *` were removed.

Better to make internal code naming match official/UI naming to some
extent, this will reduce confusion in the future.
This is 'breaking' scripts and files that would use that feature, but
since it is not yet officially supported nor exposed in 2.80, as far
as that release is concerned, it is effectively
a 'no functional changes' commit.
Users could change the master collection flags, but they should not.
That would not effectively affect the master collection objects
(depsgraph flag evaluation ignores master collection flags).
However we use the layer collection flags of the parent collection when creating
a new child collection.
We *could* solve this differently by creating a new RNA type for the
master collection (and layer collection) and hook this with rna refine.
But this patch seems to work well enough and it is simpler.

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
In the outliner we don't have yet a clear distinction for the users of when
to use each of the visibility settings.
This changes that by properly naming the property and their tooltips.
I'm also unifying the naming between the rna properties and the outliner
for collections and objects (e.g., so collection and object hide_select
have the same tooltips everywhere).
The API did not change.
The change was introduced on b1af682001.
We may still change the name functionality of this anyways - we are
not really changing only the instancing visibility here at the moment.
So there is no reason to break the API in the meantime.
And in the future we can simply add a new API entry, leaving the old one
to be slowly deprecated.
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.

BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
There were at least three copies of those:
- OB_RECALC* family of flags, which are rudiment of an old
dependency graph system.
- PSYS_RECALC* which were used by old dependency graph system
as a separate set since the graph itself did not handle
particle systems.
- DEG_TAG_* which was used to tag IDs.
Now there is a single set, which defines what can be tagged
and queried for an update. It also has some aggregate flags
to make queries simpler.
Lets once and for all solve the madness of those flags, stick
to a single set, which will not overlap with anything or require
any extra conversion.
Technically, shouldn't be measurable user difference, but some
of the agregate flags for few dependency graph components did
change.
Fixes T58632: Particle don't update rotation settings
* Text editor word wrap, line numbers & syntax toggles now use consistent icons
that don’t change when you enable or disable them.
* Replaced icon toggle buttons in the snapping popover with normal checkboxes
and descriptive text labels. This makes it clearer which item is the main
radio button, is more consistent with other popovers, and allows us to use
more descriptive text.
* Added correct icons for grease pencil add menu.
* Added bespoke icons for grease pencil modifiers.
* Added icon for particle instance modifier.
* Added icon for fake user on & off states.
* Added correct icons for enabling/disabling modifiers in the dopesheet &
f-curve editor.
* Made it so the restrict viewport & restrict render toggles for modifier
update correctly when enabled or disabled, by flipping the order in the
icon sheet. This also required changing the outliner to match.
* Removed the few old remaining icons in the old style and made sure to replace
the last places where they were used.
* Updated many icons to be clearer & more consistent.
