In the brush properties, some masking-related controls are currently available as a sub-panel in the Options panel, while others are in the Mask panel. I want to generally lessen the amount of controls in generic 'options' panels, since it's non-descriptive and rather a rather random grab bag of various controls. Better to group things in terms of their functionality with descriptive names.
This change consolidates the masking-related controls under one panel.

Note that this removes image_paint.detect_data from
UnifiedPaintPanel.get_brush_mode, I can't see why it's needed,
it causes issues where the texture paint UI isn't used when it can be.
With the brush reorganization included in D5928, the brush panels had covered the topbar and make impossible to use the drawing tools.
Now, the options are grouped in Stroke popover, similar to Sculpt.
Also fixed some missing or wrong texts.
This makes a number of changes to the tool settings brush UI:
- All brush-related controls are now grouped together, so you can see which items are brush settings are which are not. Previously it was all jumbled together.
- The brush picker is in a separate panel, so that you can switch brushes without worrying about the settings, or vice versa.
- Custom Icon settings moved from the Display settings(now known as Cursor) to the Brushes panel.
- UnifiedPaintSettings panels are removed and the contained options are now next to their relevant setting with a globe icon toggle. This is not displayed in the header.
- 2D Falloff and Absolute Jitter toggles were changed into enums, to make it clearer what happens when they are on or off.
- Adjust Strength for Spacing option was in the Options panel in some modes, but in the Stroke panel in others. It is now always under Stroke.
- Display (now Cursor) panel was reorganized, settings renamed.
- 2-option enums are annoying as a drop-down menu, so they are now drawn with expand=True.
- Smooth Stroke and Stabilizer options in grease pencil and other paint modes are now both called "Stabilize Stroke", for consistency and clarity.
- De-duplicated some drawing code between various painting modes' brush options. I tried to keep de-duplication reasonable and easy to follow.
- A few more tweaks - see D5928 for the extensive list.

It seems it does work along multiple axes in some cases, but not at all. So
restored the UI for now, waiting for a better fix.
This reverts commit 9569425b02.
This adds support to the current sculpt sample detail operator to sample
a voxel size for the voxel remesher when sculpting on regular meshes.
It provides an approximation of a voxel size that is going to preserve
the sampled sculpt details after remeshing. It is not going to be 100%
accurate in all cases as it relies on having consistent edge length in
the whole sculpt, but it saves a lot of time and avoids guessing the
voxel size by trying different values.

After adding normal radius, the main use of the Scrape brush is to create flat surfaces with sharp edges. In that case, it does not make sense to have our current "Peaks" version of the brush as its inverted version.
The correct inverted version of Scrape for this use case is the Fill brush. This way you can use this tool to crease both concave and convex sharp edges and to fix the artifacts one version produces with its inverted version.
I think we should merge these two tools into one, but for now, this solution keeps compatibility with the old behavior.

The smooth iterations of the pose factor were hardcoded to 4. This works fine in most situations when you are posing a low poly mesh, which is the main use case of this tool. I added the smooth iterations as a brush property in case you need to pose a high poly mesh directly without producing artifacts.

The Multiplane Scrape brush creates sharp edges with a given fixed angle by trimming the mesh with two planes in local space at the same time. When working with stylized or hard surface models, this brush produces way better results and is more predictable than any other crease/flatten brush based on curves and alphas.
It is also the first brush we have than can produce hard surface concave creases.
The Multiplane Scrape Brush also has a dynamic mode where it samples the surface to fit the angle and scrape planes during a stroke. With this mode enabled you can sculpt multiple times over the same edge without creating artifacts.
It can also create creases that change between concave and convex during the same stroke.
The behavior of this brush will improve after merging patches like D5993 and its behavior in concave creases can still be improved, so I will keep tweaking its parameters and default values once we have all brush properties available.

With the previous behavior, it was impossible to manipulate areas with a lot of complex shapes like fingers, as the pose origin was calculated only with the topology inside the radius.
With pose offset, the previous method is used to calculate the direction of the "bone", and an extra offset is added on top of it. This way you can set the pose origin in the correct place in this kind of situations. The pose factor grows to fit the new rotation origin.

This commit fixes most of the issues we currently have in the voxel remesher. Mesh volume is preserved when doing multiple iterations, so the sculpt won't shrink and smooth each time you run the remesher. Mesh topology is much better, fixing most issues related to mask extraction and other topology based operations.

Grab active vertex snaps the maximum strength of the grab brush to the highlighted active vertex, making it easier to manipulate low poly models or meshes with subdivision surfaces.
Dynamic Mesh Preview generates a list of connected vertices from the active vertex and draws them from the cursor code. This helps to visualize the real geometry the user is manipulating from sculpt mode when there are active modifiers.

This commit includes the new brush cursor, active vertex updates and the normal radius brush property for all sculpt brushes.
-The new brush cursor previews the real stroke radius over the mesh and the sampled sculpt normal.
-The active vertex is used in sculpt tools and brushes as a starting point for an operation, similar to a preselection. It is also mirrored following the enabled symmetry options to preview the stroke symmetry.
-The normal radius brush property limits the radius that is going to be used to sample the sculpt normal and area center. It controls how closely the cursor follows the surface and it improves the behavior of most brushes, making them suitable for hard surface sculpting.
