The overlap with the `Panel` flags that start with "PNL" was quite
confusing because wasn't clear which enum a flag was from. The
new names are a bit longer, but the clarity is worth it.
This patch allows the user to type a property name into the
Attribute node, which will then output the value of the property
for each individual object, allowing to e.g. customize shaders
by object without duplicating the shader.
In order to make supporting this easier for Eevee, it is necessary
to explicitly choose whether the attribute is varying or uniform
via a dropdown option of the Attribute node. The dropdown also
allows choosing whether instancing should be taken into account.
The Cycles design treats all attributes as one common namespace,
so the Blender interface converts the enum to a name prefix that
can't be entered using keyboard.
In Eevee, the attributes are provided to the shader via a UBO indexed
with resource_id, similar to the existing Object Info data. Unlike it,
however, it is necessary to maintain a separate buffer for every
requested combination of attributes.
This is done using a hash table with the attribute set as the key,
as it is expected that technically different but similar materials
may use the same set of attributes. In addition, in order to minimize
wasted memory, a sparse UBO pool is implemented, so that chunks that
don't contain any data don't have to be allocated.
The back-end Cycles code is already refactored and committed by Brecht.

`WM_operator_properties_filesel()` allows C operators to set a display or sort
type for the File Browser to use. But the File Browser would always override
that because of an invalid `_is_set()` check. (The operators don't actually set
the value, they only set the property's default value.)
The only operator affected by this is "Recover Auto Save". It is supposed to
show a vertical list ordered chronologically. It used settings from the
previous File Browser usage before this patch.
Operators using the File Browser should generally use
`FILE_DEFAULTDISPLAY`/`FILE_SORT_DEFAULT` now, except if they have a reason not
to. See comments at their definition.
----
This makes it so operators that set a different display or sort type
don't change the sort or display type for the next File Browser operation.
So using "Recover Auto Save" entirely isolates display and sort type from other
operations.

Those two features are not directly related and one might be activated
in master earlier than the other.
WITH_PARTICLE_NODES was removed, because we continue the project
under the name "Geometry Nodes".
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.
Corrects incorrect usage of contraction for 'it is', when possessive 'its' was required.

Those were only shallow wrappers around `BKE_id_copy`, barely used (even
fully unused in some cases), and we want to get rid of those ID-specific
helpers for the common ID management tasks. Also prevents weird custom
behaviors (like `BKE_object_copy`, who was the only basic ID copy
function to reset user count of the new copy to zero).
Part of 71219.
Define enum `eContextResult` and use its values for returns, instead of
just returning 1, 0, or -1 (and always having some comment that explains
what -1 means).
This also cleans up the mixup between returning `0` and `false`, and `1`
and `true`. An inconsistency was discovered during this cleanup, and
marked with `TODO(sybren)`. It's not fixed here, as it would consititute
a functional change.
The enum isn't used everywhere, as enums in C and C++ can have different
storage sizes. To prevent issues, callback functions are still declared
as returning`int`. To at least make things easier to understand for
humans, I marked those with `int /*eContextResult*/`.
This is a followup of D9090, and is intended to unify how context
callbacks return values. This will make it easier to extend the approach
in D9090 to those functions.
No functional changes.

This commit makes grid theming more consistent and capable by adding
some new theme colors related to grid rendering.
- Add grid theme color for node editor. `UI_view2d_multi_grid_draw`
is called with TH_GRID instead of a shaded `TH_BACK`.
Also color-blend `TH_NODE_GROUP`.
- Make the movie clip editor's clip preview grid respect grid theme
color (`ED_region_grid_draw` uses color-blended `TH_GRID`).
- Add versioning code to allow fixing existing themes (the resulting
themes should visually look the same as before)
These changes did cause some inconsistencies in the movie clip editor,
even after adjusting the themes accordingly:
1. The alpha slider of the grid color affects the background and not
the grid lines themselves.
2. The grids used by graph and dopesheet mode could already be themed
in the past. Now that the clip preview's grid can also be themed,
two different modes share the same theme color.

Blender does string based searching in many different places.
This patch updates four of these places to use the new string
search api in `BLI_string_search.h`.
In the future we probably want to update the other searches as well.

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.

This replace `GPU_clear()` by `GPU_clear_color()` and `GPU_clear_depth()`.
Since we always set the clear value before clearing, it is unecessary
to track the clear color state.
Moreover, it makes it clearer what we clear the framebuffer to.
This mainly removes the bmain argument, which can be
retrieved from the graph itself.
Also, I removed some outdated/unnecessary comments.
