We have our own assert implementation, `BLI_assert()` that is prefered over the
C standard library one. Its output is more consistent across compilers and
makes termination on assert failure optional (through `WITH_ASSERT_ABORT`).
In many places we'd include the C library header without ever accessing it.
For the man rationale behind this design, see 49f088e2d0. Further,
this removes users of uiBut.a1/uiBut.a2, which is a very ugly design
choice (hard to reason about).
Note that I had to do rather ugly, specific exceptions for the number
buttons in `ui_def_but_rna()`. But once all users of a1/a2 are removed,
this special handling shouldn't be needed anymore.
I also had to move a sanity check out of the button definition. It's now
moved into a new debug only sanity checking function executed when
finishing the layout definition (block end).
This was reported for the "Add Node" search functionality, but is
relevant in other searches as well.
So e.g. when searching for "Separate XYZ", typing "sep", then " " (with
the intention to type "X" next) would clear the search field. Now use
the same method (matching against all search words) as in F3 searching
('menu_search_update_fn') in other searches as well [searching IDs,
property objects, finding nodes,...]
This should give a much nicer search experience in general.
Note: this does not touch other searches in the Dopesheet, Outliner,
Filebrowser or User Preferences that have other search implementations.

If the search menu was used for a string property, and a data-block was
selected from the search, the value set would be an invalid name. The
property would get the modified UI string, not the proper data name set.
This problem was already once solved in rB249ccab111ac, but resurfaced
in rB937d89afba36.
Now only use the modified UI string if requires_exact_data_name is not
true.
Note: the comments in rB249ccab111ac [reg. library hints and string
properties, also that pointer properties are preferred over string
properties when dealing with IDs] still apply.

I only skipped a few loops in the monstrous ui_handle_menu_event

Regression from d6cefef98f
This also fixes an unreported issue where finding an exact match
wasn't being detected for items that contained an ID prefix.
This addresses warnings from Clang-Tidy's `readability-else-after-return`
rule in the `source/blender/editors/interface` module.
No functional changes.
Rather than a `L` (linked), `O` (overridden) or `M` (missing) prefix for the
name, show the existing library status icons. See D7999 for screenshots.
Note that when using preview icons, or if the search menu contains items with
own icons (e.g. brush icons), we still fallback to the prefix solution.
Zero or fake user is still indicated with a prefix.

If the search menu was used for a string property, and a data-block was

Mistake in rBd6cefef98f87.
This is more of a temporary fix to make the menu behave like before above's
commit. So the library hints this added will not be shown for string properties
anymore. This would need further changes in the UI code (see
https://developer.blender.org/P1380) but is too unsafe for 2.83 at this point.
Even if this is done, the note below still applies.
NOTE: Data-blocks should not be referenced by name only, as it's possible to
have duplicate data-block names with linking and especially with library
overriding.
Instead, pointer properties should be used, `UILayout.prop_search()` can then
properly deal with linked and overridden data-blocks.
Makes the following layout changes possible:
{F8473498} {F8473499} {F8473502}
The next commit will contain many layout changes to make good use of
these new possibilities. The result should be more consistent, easier to
read and should give a more organized impression. Additionally, it
should be possible to replace many sub-panels with compacter layouts.
Main changes:
* Checkboxes now respect the property split layouts
* Add support for row and column headers (i.e.
`uiLayout.column(heading="Foo")`, `uiLayout.row(heading="Bar")`). If the
first property added to this layout doesn't insert anything into the label
split column, the heading is inserted there. Otherwise, it's inserted as own
item.
* Add support for manually inserting decorators for an existing item
(`uiLayout.prop_decorator()`). That way layout creators can manually insert
this, which was the only way I saw to support property split layouts with a
checkbox before the actual property. {F8471883}
* Autogenerated layouts for operator properties look bad if there are only
checkboxes (which only use half the region width). So before creating the
layout, we iterate over visible properties and disable split layout if all
are booleans. I think this is fine, if needed we could also add layout hints
to operators.
* `uiTemplateOperatorPropertyButs()` now handles macros itself, the caller
used to be responsible for this. Code that didn't handle these so far never
used macros I think, so this change should be invisible.
* Remove manual property split layout from autogenerated operator properties
layout.
* Padding of checkboxes is tweaked to make their label visually more connected
to the checkboxes.
* Support split layout for menus (should work for `uiLayout.menu()`,
`.operator_menu_enum()`, `.prop_menu_enum()`, maybe more)

In RNA pointer search buttons (i.e. the ones with an eyedropper),
data-blocks were handled badly. It was not possible to select a linked
data-block that had the same name as a local one, which is especially
common with library overrides. Neither was there a hint to tell appart
linked data-blocks and which .blend file they come from.
These issues are addressed now, we show an "L" prefix and the .blend
file name in the search box (like in ID-templates).
Changes here are quite simple, since the heavy lifting was already done
through c20c203b82.
Addresses T73156.
When updating the active button, the search data wasn't updated, so it
kept using the old pointers. A check in `ui_rna_collection_search_cb()`
relied on this incorrect behavior so I had to fix that too. Note that
the previous commit was also needed for the second fix to work.
Caused by c46dcdf887.
If the `uiButStore` data was freed after the buttons/blocks were updated
from previous instances (see `UI_block_update_from_old()`), e.g. by
delaying that to the "afterfuncs" (`ui_apply_but_funcs_after()`), the
data would get lost. As result, the button pointers that the API is
supposed to keep valid would point to freed memory.
This wasn't an issue so far since the API didn't happen to be used this
way. That changes with the next commit.
This has some advantages over operator search:
- Some operators need options set to be usefully accessed.
- Shows key bindings to access menus
(for actions that don't have key bindings themselves).
- Non operator actions such as check-boxes are also shown.
- Menu items can control execution context, using invoke or execute
where appropriate so we can control how the operator runs.
Part of the design task T74157.
This can be tested using the 'Experimental' preferences section
or selected in the key-map editor.
While it might be handy to have type-less functionality which is
similar to how C++ math is implemented it can not be easily achieved
with just preprocessor in a way which does not have side-effects on
wrong usage.
There macros where often used on a non-trivial expression, and there
was at least one usage where it was causing an actual side effect/bug
on Windows (see change around square_f(sh[index++]) in studiolight.c).
For such cases it is handy to have a function which is guaranteed to
have zero side-effects. The motivation behind actually removing the
macros is that there is already a way to do similar calculation. Also,
not having such macros is a way to guarantee that its usage is not
changed in a way which have side-effects and that it's not used as an
inspiration for cases where it should not be used.

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.

- 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.
Basically uiRNACollectionSearch->but_changed was always NULL for the
search templates. So skip_filter would always be true, and we would
never filter.
An alternative fix would be to add the following to the begin of
`template_search_add_button_searchmenu`:
```
static bool always_true = true;
template_search->search_data.but_changed = &always_true;
```
Also reshuffle a bit that whole code, did some renaming,
`BKE_id_to_unique_string_key()` is now using same base code (instead of
using whole library filepath...), etc.
We had those for ID templates, but it's also tremendously useful for
regular ID pointers UI, since often you can get local and linked
data-block with same exact name...
