The "quick setup" dialog is actually a 'menu', and the "splash screen" block
contains the UI_BLOCK_LOOP flag which causes the buttons' text to align
to the left, however, usually regular buttons have centered text.
As a workaround, add the UI_BLOCK_QUICK_SETUP flag which prevents
the text from being left-aligned.

Support Python 3.10a5 or 3.9x with support explicitly enabled.
- Enable Python's postponed annotations for Blender's RNA classes
types registered on startup.
- Using postponed annotations has implications for how they are defined,
since they must evaluate in the modules name-space instead of the
classes name-space. See changes to annotations in `release/scripts`.
- Use `from __future__ import annotations` at the top of the module
to ensure the script will run with Python 3.10.
- Old logic is kept since it could be used if PEP-649 is supported.

When `Preferences → Editing → New Objects → Align To` is set to `3D
Cursor`, the fluid domain added by `Object → Quick Effects → Quick
Liquid` is aligned to the 3D cursor. This shouldn't be the case, since
these aren't new objects created directly by the user.

The logic to remove one Python module before installing another
only worked in simple cases where a file replaced a file.
- Installing a single file add-on over a Python package with the same
name caused an error as the directory isn't empty.
- Removing existing module directories from the zip-file did nothing
as the directories from the zip-file that end with a slash were
compared with directories from `os.listdir` that don't.
- `module_filesystem_remove` assumed ZipFile.namelist() was a list of
files in the root of the zip-file when it's a list of all files.
While I couldn't find any bugs caused by this, it performed checks
that don't make sense, comparing files at different depths of the
file-system.
Corrects approximately 36 spelling errors in source variable names.

When adding a new preset the name would be converted to lower case and
then displayed in the interface in title case. This was confusing
because the name didn't reflect what was typed, and there are many cases
when the name shouldn't be forced into title case (like 8K UHDTV for
example).
This commit leaves the custom preset names in the original casing, and
removes the conversion of filenames to title case for preset lists.

wm.context_* operators typically have their options set by menus
or key bindings.
Re-using options in this case can cause problems where two
actions that change unrelated properties will re-use a setting
from the previous execution.
For example changing the lights Power impacted
changing it's Radius afterwards.
The nodes were selected in new node groups because they are by default,
but there's no particular reason for them to be selected, and it can
be distracting.
Adding the modifier itself already adds a new node tree, which is
then displayed in the node editor because of the active object and
active modifier context. So there's no need to create the node tree
in the python code in this case.
- Use the name "Point Cloud" instead of "Pointcloud"
- Fix a typo in UV_OT_smart_project.
- Use the name "Install Light" to for the installation
operator for MatCaps, HDRIs, and Studio Lights.

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"

This introduces the User Interface part of the Asset Browser, based on the
design in T54642.
Additions:
* New Asset Browser (internally a sub-editor of the File Browser).
* Navigation region showing asset categories.
* Main region showing the assets of the selected asset library with previews.
The assets may be stored over multiple .blends in the directory that's
"mounted" as asset library in the Preferences. They will all be shown in this
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.
For screenshots or demo videos, please see D9725. Or the 2.92 release notes.
Note that there are many things to be tweaked and polished in the Asset Browser
UI still. For example, the filter and display popovers are mostly dummies. See
T82680.

In ad85256e71 the "Show Group Colors" option was changed from a

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

The design for how we approach the "Everything Nodes" project
has changed. We will focus on a different part of the project initially.
While future me will likely refer back to some of the code I remove here,
there is no point in keeping this code around in master currently.
It would just confuse other developers working on the project.
This does not remove the simulation modifier and data block. Those are
just cleaned up, so that the boilerplate code can be reused in the future.
Follow the MLA style, agreed upon in T79589. This means "from" within UI
labels should be lowercase.
