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.

There are two caveats of the current implementation which still need
to be resolved in a separate step:
* In theory the data on the original object can be editable in the spreadsheet.
* If a complex object is in edit mode, and its original data is displayed,
the drawing code can be slow, because the bmesh is converted to a mesh
every time. The proper solution is to draw the data from the bmesh directly.
This should become easier after an upcoming refactor.

This implements the MVP for the new spreadsheet editor (T85879). The functionality
is still very limited, but it proved to be useful already. A more complete picture
of where we want to go with the new editor can be found in T86279.
Supported features:
* Show point attributes of evaluated meshes (no original data, no other domains,
no other geometry types, yet). Since only meshes are supported right now, the
output of the Point Distribute is not shown, because it is a point cloud.
* Only show data for selected vertices when the mesh is in edit mode.
Different parts of Blender keep track of selection state and original-indices with
varying degrees of success. Therefore, when the selected-only filter is used, the
result might be a bit confusing when using some modifiers or nodes. This will
be improved in the future.
* All data is readonly. Since only evaluated data is displayed currently, it has to
be readonly. However, this is not an inherent limitation of the spreadsheet editor.
In the future editable data will be displayed as well.
Some boilerplate code for the new editor has been committed before in
rB9cb5f0a2282a7a84f7f8636b43a32bdc04b51cd5.
It would be good to let the spreadsheet editor mature for a couple of weeks as part
of the geometry nodes project. Then other modules are invited to show their own data

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".

This commit moves runtime-only variables from the `SpaceNode`

Node that the `edittree` field is basically a runtime variable, since
it's set from the `treepath` list on read, but moving it would require
some more invasive changes that I don't think are worth it right now.
Also, not all of the moved variables were explicitly cleared on read--
`aspect` is set at the start of a redraw, `cursor` is set in a region

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

list.
* Header with an asset library dropdown, allowing to choose the active asset
library to show. Options are the "Current File" as asset library and all
custom libraries.
* Display popover, filter popover and search box (partially dummies, see
T82680).
* 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
region to help the user understand what's wrong.
* Operators to add and remove asset tags. Exposed in the sidebar.
* "Only Assets" option for Link/Append.
* Internal utilities for asset UI scripts.

* Avoid direct access to `SpaceFile.params`, use a getter instead. This matters
because once the asset-browser changes are in, there will be an alternative
selection parameter object. The getter can return the correct one.
* Rename the function to ensure the parameters. The old name
`ED_fileselect_get_params()` wasn't a mere getter, it would create the
parameters if necessary. Now we have an actual getter, so better be clear.
* In some instances, I replaced the old "get" function with the new mere
getter. So the ensure logic is called less often. However, in these cases we
should be able to assume the selection parameters were created already as
part of the editor creation routine.
The term "active" in the new function names may seem a bit odd in the current
context, but that is a preparation for the Asset Browser merge as well. Like
said, there will be two file selection parameter objects in the space.
Also makes NLA tracks and strips overridable.
User can either edit existing strips in existing NLA tracks (but not add or remove them), and/or add new NLA tracks after those comming from the linked data.

Note that since we can only rely on indices to deal with local added tracks, we forbid any local track being before any linked/original track.

This patch adds support for AOVs in EEVEE. AOV Outputs can be defined in the
render pass tab and used in shader materials. Both Object and World based
shaders are supported. The AOV can be previewed in the viewport using the
renderpass selector in the shading popover.
AOV names that conflict with other AOVs are automatically corrected. AOV
conflicts with render passes get a warning icon. The reason behind this is that
changing render engines/passes can change the conflict, but you might not notice
it. Changing this automatically would also make the materials incorrect, so best
to leave this to the user.
**Implementation**
The patch adds a copies the AOV structures of Cycles into Blender. The goal is
that the Cycles will use Blenders AOV defintions. In the Blender kernel
(`layer.c`) the logic of these structures are implemented.
The GLSL shader of any GPUMaterial can hold multiple outputs (the main output
and the AOV outputs) based on the renderPassUBO the right output is selected.
This selection uses an hash that encodes the AOV structure. The full AOV needed
to be encoded when actually drawing the material pass as the AOV type changes
the behavior of the AOV. This isn't known yet when the GLSL is compiled.
**Future Developments**
* The AOV definitions in the render layer panel isn't shared with Cycles.
Cycles should be migrated to use the same viewlayer aovs. During a previous
attempt this failed as the AOV validation in cycles and in Blender have
implementation differences what made it crash when an aov name was invalid.
This could be fixed by extending the external render engine API.
* Add support to Cycles to render AOVs in the 3d viewport.
* Use a drop down list for selecting AOVs in the AOV Output node.
* Give user feedback when multiple AOV output nodes with the same AOV name
exists in the same shader.
* Fix viewing single channel images in the image editor [T83314]
* Reduce viewport render time by only render needed draw passes. [T83316]

Until there is a icon made specially for this, the nodetree icon is up

This is the initial merge from the geometry-nodes branch.

* Attribute Math
* Boolean
* Edge Split
* Float Compare
* Object Info
* Point Distribute
* Point Instance
* Random Attribute
* Random Float
* Subdivision Surface
* Transform
* Triangulate
It includes the initial evaluation of geometry node groups in the Geometry Nodes modifier.
Notes on the Generic attribute access API
The API adds an indirection for attribute access. That has the following benefits:
* Most code does not have to care about how an attribute is stored internally.
This is mainly necessary, because we have to deal with "legacy" attributes
such as vertex weights and attributes that are embedded into other structs
such as vertex positions.
* When reading from an attribute, we generally don't care what domain the
attribute is stored on. So we want to abstract away the interpolation that
that adapts attributes from one domain to another domain (this is not
actually implemented yet).
Other possible improvements for later iterations include:
* Actually implement interpolation between domains.
* Don't use inheritance for the different attribute types. A single class for read
access and one for write access might be enough, because we know all the ways
in which attributes are stored internally. We don't want more different internal
structures in the future. On the contrary, ideally we can consolidate the different
storage formats in the future to reduce the need for this indirection.
* Remove the need for heap allocations when creating attribute accessors.
It includes commits from:
* Dalai Felinto
* Hans Goudey
* Jacques Lucke
* Léo Depoix
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.
