block and layout could be NULL and checking this everywhere
wasn't practical.
Instead of lazy initializing, add UI_popup_menu_end_or_cancel
which cancels empty popup menus.
This is the first step to moving redo out of the top-bar, see: T55039
- Support for floating panels in the ScrArea has been added.
- A new region type RGN_TYPE_HUD is used for floating settings input.
- Only one HUD should be visible at a time.
- Currently HUD regions are only visible
for 3D view and image space types.
- There are currently some remaining glitches with hide/show
that need further investigation.
This support layout.separator_spacer() to be used by headers as a way to
dynamically separate the ui buttons.
Right now no UI file is changed, though we can use this right away in the
timeline, and shortly after in the viewport header (moving settings from
the topbar to it).
Original design by William Reynish.

This mimics the 'spreadsheet' behavior. Columns and/or rows can have
equal sizes, or adapt to their content - but always in a grid way (i.e.
all items in a same column will always have same available width, and
all items in a same row will always have same available height).
Also, you can fill (order) the grid in a row- or column-major way.
Not used anywhere for now.

In the Python API, any panel becomes a subpanel by setting bl_parent_id
to the name of the parent panel. These subpanels can contain advanced or
less commonly used settings.
Experimental support for using popovers like menus,
use this when the user hold the mouse down
(previously this did nothing).
This means turning frequently accessed menu items into
popovers doesn't add more clicks to the existing use case.
This matches the new convention for left-handed mode selectors,
however we're still undecided on exactly how this should work.
For now test this out as a convention for all space types.
Dynamically sized regions in the topbar were flickering due to only updating
their size after redraws. Now there is an optional layout() callback for
all regions in an area to do UI layout first, then refresh the region layout,
and then do the actual drawing for each region.

This makes easier to distinguish between different editors
(as oppose to an editor and its regions).
Note action zones look a bit strange with this. I recommend we do next:
* Make sure all 4 corners can be used as action zones.
* Remove their drawing code (or show them only on mouse hover).
- UILayout.popover(.. panel_type ..)
A single panel
- UILayout.popover_group(.. panel categories ..)
Expands all panels matching args.
Currently used in the topbar for redo and paint options.
