This patch makes the "Render" window a top-level window, not a child of
the main window, which was the case in blender versions prior to 2.93.
This means it is no longer "on top", nor is the icon grouped on the
taskbar in the same way, but you can Alt-Tab between it and the main
window. This change only affects the Windows platform as the other
platforms behave this way.
See D11576 for links to negative feedback that prompts this change.

When using large sequences including audio the drawing of the audio on
top of the strip takes a lot of time. This effects the playback
performance heavily.
During the animation playback performance there was a solution for this
by only drawing the playhead overlay. This was reverted for the sequence
editor as it didn't update the color strips when they were animated.
This patch checks if there are animated color strips if so the full
screen is redrawn, otherwise only the playhead is redrawn.

The term direction was used in 3 different ways in screen editing code,
making it hard to follow:
- 0-3 for as magic numbers mapped to [west,north,east,south].
- `h`, `v` characters for [horizontal,vertical] axes.
- Cycle direction SPACE_CONTEXT_CYCLE_PREV, SPACE_CONTEXT_CYCLE_NEXT
The following changes have been made:
- Add `eScreenDir` for [west,north,east,south], use variable name `dir`.
- Add `eScreenAxis` for [horizontal,vertical] values, use variable name
`dir_axis`.
- Add `eScreenCycle` for existing enum `SPACE_CONTEXT_CYCLE_{PREV/NEXT}`.
- Add macros `SCREEN_DIR_IS_VERTICAL(dir)`,
`SCREEN_DIR_IS_HORIZONTAL(dir)`.
Replacing `ELEM(dir, 1, 3)`, `ELEM(dir, 0, 2)`.
- Move `ED_screen_draw_join_highlight`, `ED_screen_draw_split_preview`
to `screen_intern.h`.

The RGN_TYPE_EXECUTE region was zero height - with the "Load & Save"
button drawing outside of those bounds - so it didn't respond to events.
This is because the region started off this size and does not change
with simply adding the buttons. Although it has RGN_FLAG_DYNAMIC_SIZE,
delayed reinit of regions is only currently supported on headers.
This gives the execute region an initial (minimum) vertical size but
also makes the region **hidden** by default.
- Showing Prefs as an editor among others it will show the header
but not the execute region.
- Showing the Prefs in a popup window, hides the header region
and shows the execute region.

When dropping an asset somewhere, it is appended and then a drop operation is
called to actually add it to the scene based on current context. If this drop
operation fails, the appended data-block is now still in the .blend. The user
may not notice and not expect this.
Instead idea is to rollback any changes done by dropping code if the operation
fails, namely removing the appended data-block again.
Adds a new `cancel()` callback which is called if the drop operator returns
`OPERATOR_CANCELLED` to drop-boxes and a generic function to deal with assets
on drop failure.
Also removes the `free_id_on_error` property of the `NODE_OT_add_group`
operator, which was used as ad-hoc solution to get this same behavior.
There should be a conversion to native pixel size as expected by GHOST at the
window manager level, the dimensions at screen level do not need a conversion.

After 1e799dd26e, the logic to recognize a temporary File Browser window
didn't work correctly anymore. It would recognize a maximized File Browser
inside a temporary window as a temporary File Browser window, and attempt to
close this (rather than returning to the previous layout).
The logic there was pretty weak, and still is I think. A more stable solution
would need bigger refactoring.
With this, it's also not possible to maximize or fullscreen an area within a
temporary window (Preferences, File Browser, render window) anymore. Think that
won't make a noticable difference, since you couldn't open multiple areas there
anyway, and the area seems to be maximized already.
Cleaned up the code a bit to not become more confusing with the changes.
The previous design is rather old and has a couple of problems:
* Scalability: The current solution of adding little icon buttons next to the
data-block name field doesn't scale well. It only works if there's a small
number of operations. We need to be able to place more items there for better
data-block management. Especially with the introduction of library overrides.
* Discoverability: It's not obvious what some of the icons do. They appear and
disappear, but it's not obvious why some are available at times and others
not.
* Unclear Status: Currently their library status (linked, indirectly linked,
broken link, library override) isn't really clear.
* Unusual behavior: Some of the icon buttons allow Shift or Ctrl clicking to
invoke alternative behaviors. This is not a usual pattern in Blender.
This patch does the following changes:
* Adds a menu to the right of the name button to access all kinds of operations
(create, delete, unlink, user management, library overrides, etc).
* Make good use of the "disabled hint" for tooltips, to explain why buttons are
disabled. The UI team wants to establish this as a good practise.
* Use superimposed icons for duplicate and unlink, rather than extra buttons
(uses less space, looks less distracting and is a nice + consistent design
language).
* Remove fake user and user count button, they are available from the menu now.
* Support tooltips for superimposed icons (committed mouse hover feedback to
master already).
* Slightly increase size of the name button - it was already a bit small
before, and the move from real buttons to superimposed icons reduces usable
space for the name itself.
* More clearly differentiate between duplicate and creating a new data-block.
The latter is only available in the menu.
* Display library status icon on the left (linked, missing library, overridden,
asset)
* Disables "Make Single User" button - in review we weren't sure if there are
good use-cases for it, so better to see if we can remove it.
Note that I do expect some aspects of this design to change still. I think some
changes are problematic, but others disagreed. I will open a feedback thread on
devtalk to see what others think.

Design discussed and agreed on with the UI team, also see T79959.
This makes it possible to trigger a refresh of the data-block preview,
available next to the preview in the Asset Browser sidebar. The previews get
easily outdated and automatically refreshing it all the time is not an option
because it would be a consistently running, quite expensive process. So a
button to cause a refresh should be reasonable.
This button can also be used to switch back from a custom preview to a
generated one. Although that may not be clear, and we should probably think of
a way to explain that better.
Addresses T82719.
No automatic preview generation will ever be good enough to cover all cases
well. So custom preview images are a must for a preview driven data-block
selection - like for asset browsing.
The operator simply allows selecting an image file, which will then be read and
copied into the data-blocks preview (resized if necessary).
There's no UI for this currently and the operator won't be available in the
search menu yet. It will later once the Asset Browser UI is merged.

Split up `ANIM_deselect_anim_channels()` into
`ANIM_anim_channels_select_set()` and
`ANIM_anim_channels_select_toggle()`.
`ANIM_anim_channels_select_set()` is equivalent to the old
`ANIM_deselect_anim_channels(..., false, ACHANNEL_SETFLAG_xxx)`.
`ANIM_anim_channels_select_toggle()` is equivalent to the old
`ANIM_deselect_anim_channels(..., true, ACHANNEL_SETFLAG_ADD)`.
`ANIM_deselect_anim_channels(..., true, ACHANNEL_SETFLAG_CLEAR)` was
also called once. The `true` parameter suggested the "toggle" behaviour
was intended, but the `ACHANNEL_SETFLAG_CLEAR` argument prevented any
toggling. This is now replaced with `ANIM_anim_channels_select_set(ac,
ACHANNEL_SETFLAG_CLEAR)` to make this explicit.
No functional changes, just a cleanup in order to better understand how
the selection works.
Some underlying functionality was not ready for greasepencil:
- BKE_modifiers_get_virtual_modifierlist (now introduce dedicated BKE_gpencil_modifiers_get_virtual_modifierlist)
- BKE_modifiers_is_deformed_by_armature
- checks in drawing code
- checks in (pose) selection code
A couple of changes to make this work:
- `eGpencilModifierType_Armature` has to be respected (not only `eModifierType_Armature`)
- `OB_MODE_WEIGHT_GPENCIL` has to be respected (not only `OB_MODE_WEIGHT_PAINT`) -- (now use new `OB_MODE_ALL_WEIGHT_PAINT`)
- `gpencil_weightmode_toggle_exec` now shares functionality from `wpaint_mode_toggle_exec` -- moved to new `ED_object_posemode_set_for_weight_paint`
This patch will also set the context member "weight_paint_object" for greasepencil (otherwise some appropriate pose operators wont work when in weightpaint mode)
