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.

In Blender, we used to use the term 'draw' to refer to information
displayed to the user. For version 2.80, it was decided to change these
instances to 'display' instead. This was to avoid the ambiguity between
end-user drawing tools and display options.
From the Oxford English Dictionary:
- Draw: produce (a picture or diagram) by making lines and marks on
paper with a pencil, pen, etc.
- Display: show (data or an image) on a computer, television, or
other screen.
Therefore, we should use draw when referring to drawing tools for
making marks, but use display when referring to information
shown/displayed to the user. From a user POV, the computer displays
certain information, whereas the user draws a mark.
Apparently this change was not implemented consistently, so this patch
changes all remaining relevant instances of "draw".

'Caused'/revealed by rBd29a720c45e5: Operators that fully re-create the
mesh would previously rely on `sculpt_update_object` called from update
code to get required sculpt-specific data layers re-added to the new
mesh.
Now instead put all code adding data to orig mesh for sculpt purpose
into a new util function (`BKE_sculpt_ensure_orig_mesh_data`), and call
that function when entering sculpt mode, and from voxel remesher code.
This is contonuing effort to more clearly separate orig data from evaluated
data handling/usage in sculpt code.
TODO: there are likely other code paths that would need to call that
new function?

Subscribers:
- Remove ternary operators when both values are the same.
- Remove break after return.
- Remove redundant NULL checks for code which handles
those cases immediately beforehand.
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.

Approximately 195 changes of capitalization to conform to MLA title style.
UI labels and property names should use MLA title case, while descriptions
should be capitalized like regular prose, generally with only the start of
a sentence capitalized.

The geometry-nodes features no longer depend on the point cloud object.
Therefore the point cloud object, although important in the future, can
be postponed until we have render and edit mode fully working.
This reverts commits:
* ea74ed5a7a.
* dc614c68ef.
This commit adds functions to set and get the object's active
modifier, which is stored as a flag in the ModifierData struct,
similar to constraints. This will be used to set the context in
the node editor. There are no visible changes in this commit.
Similar to how the node editor context works for materials, this commit
makes the node group displayed in the node editor depend on the active
object and its active modifier. To keep the node group from changing,
just pin the node group in the header.
* Shortcuts performed while there is an active modifier will affect
only that modifier (the exception is the A to expand the modifiers).
* Clicking anywhere on the empty space in a modifier's panel will make it active.
These changes require some refactoring of object modifier code. First
is splitting up the modifier property invoke callback, which now needs
to be able to get the active modifier separately from the hovered
modifier for the different operators.
Second is a change to removing modifiers, where there is now a separate
function to remove a modifier from an object's list, in order to handle
changing the active.
Finally, the panel handler needs a small tweak so that this "click in panel"
event can be handled afterwards.
"Camera Parent Lock" can be useful when rigging cameras, but it is not
intuitive, and has also generated a lot of confusion (bug reports).
This is because it breaks the fundamental parent <-> child relationship
conventions in Blender, and there is no indication that it's intended
without diving into the preferences.
This commit moves the setting to the object level, and exposes it in
the relations panel in the property editor. It is exposed for every
object type because any object type can be "View Locked" in the 3D view.
The property description is also updated to reflect this change and be
more specific without getting too long.
In the future this could become a more general feature of the transform
system, but for now it is limited to "Lock Camera to View".

Those two features are not directly related and one might be activated
in master earlier than the other.
WITH_PARTICLE_NODES was removed, because we continue the project
under the name "Geometry Nodes".
* Match menu items with Add Menu (order and naming e.g. Font -> Text)
* Use Icons
* Remove ellipsis from the name (policy is to use `...` only when triggering a window/popup)
No functional changes.
Thanks @HooglyBoogly for the help!
For 2.90 release this should not be exposed in the RNA API.
In master this needs to be ON by default, that's all.

Same exact system as instancing on vertices for a mesh. More powerful ways
of instancing will be added at some later point, but this makes the basics
works and is consistent with other geometry types.
Duplication and deletion code of modifiers was totally wrong for
particle system, that special weird thing needs its own custom
management.
Note that for now I chose not to duplicate the particle settings ID when
duplicating the modifier...
Blender has an operator to do Copy & Paste of constraints between
objects and bones, but no simple method to do that directly via
the Python API is provided. This adds a copy() method to object
and pose bone constraint collections.

This replaces the cmake options `WITH_NEW_OBJECT_TYPES` and
`WITH_NEW_SIMULATION_TYPE` with two experimental userpref settings:
* `use_new_particle_system`: Enables the point cloud type and the simulation editor.
* `use_new_hair_type`: Only displays the add-operator in the add menu for now.
Note, in the current state you can't do anything productive with the new particle
system or the new hair type. Features will be added step by step in the upcoming
weeks and months.

- ED_object_constraint_list_from_constraint was get_constraint_lb
- ED_object_constraint_list_from_context was get_active_constraints
- ED_object_constraint_active_get was get_active_constraint
- ED_object_constraint_active_set was ED_object_constraint_set_active
This hides the original metaballs when they are used in
duplifaces/-verts instancing, and still shows the instanced metaballs.
The visibility of the original metaballs is now determined by the
visibility of the instancer. I'm not too thrilled about this, but at
least it gives users the ability to show/hide the metaballs for
viewport/render.

While this should not happen, we still want to handle those errors
gracefully from user perspective (i.e. assert for devs, no crash for
users).
Actual fix of root cause of the issue will come later.
