Currently overriding properties within material node trees is not
supported. However there is a workaround that allows feeding values
through drivers via an intermediate custom property, as described
in T82404. The workaround relies on the behavior of the ID copying
code that always patches datablock self-references even without any
overrides.
Unfortunately, this broke during development of 2.93. This happened
because a call RNA_struct_override_matches added in rB2281db72b0157
detects that no override exists, and 'restores' the self-reference
to point to the original datablock.
To avoid this, mark the Material.node_tree property with the
PROPOVERRIDE_IGNORE flag to stop RNA_struct_override_matches
from recursing into the currently unsupported node tree sub-block.
This flag should be removed when this is properly supported.
This was confirmed to fix the workaround and discussed with @mont29.
Changes include:
- Use `IFACE_` for UI labels set in the modifier panels
- Use a sub-sub-panel for transparency
- Fix grammar and spelling mistakes
- Use more natural user-friendly wording
- Make descriptions more specific and more useful
- Don't capitalize "line art" in descriptions (tooltips)
These changes are aimed at making the UI strings more consistent with
the rest of the UI and being more helpful to someone trying to understand
how to use the modifier.

This adds the LineArt grease pencil modifier.
It takes objects or collections as input and generates various grease
pencil lines from these objects with the help of the active scene
camera. For example it can generate contour lines, intersection lines
and crease lines to name a few.
This is really useful as artists can then use 3D meshes to automatically
generate grease pencil lines for characters, enviroments or other
visualization purposes.
These lines can then be baked and edited as regular grease pencil lines.

In Blender, we used to use the term 'draw' to refer to information
displayed to the user. For version 2.80, it was decided to change these
instances to 'display' instead. This was to avoid the ambiguity between
end-user drawing tools and display options.
From the Oxford English Dictionary:
- Draw: produce (a picture or diagram) by making lines and marks on
paper with a pencil, pen, etc.
- Display: show (data or an image) on a computer, television, or
other screen.
Therefore, we should use draw when referring to drawing tools for
making marks, but use display when referring to information
shown/displayed to the user. From a user POV, the computer displays
certain information, whereas the user draws a mark.
Apparently this change was not implemented consistently, so this patch
changes all remaining relevant instances of "draw".

This new feature allows to use the strokes as an eraser of any stroke below. This is very handy to open holes in filled areas.
After running some tests, we have decided to keep the additive effect of the holdout color. To get clean holdout areas, just move the color to black to remove any additive effect. To have additive effect can be used in situations like tint slightly a transparent window with blue to simulate the glass.

This is important at several level, mainly for overrides currently.
Note that this also includes shape keys, since from RNA point of view
those are also 'embedded' (they are not editable, not linkable, ...).
Follow up of b2ee1770d4 and 10c2254d41, part of T74432.
Now the area and region naming conventions should be less confusing.
Mostly a careful batch rename but had to do few smaller fixes.
Also ran clang-format on affected files.
This commit is a full refactor of the grease pencil modules including Draw Engine, Modifiers, VFX, depsgraph update, improvements in operators and conversion of Sculpt and Weight paint tools to real brushes.
Also, a huge code cleanup has been done at all levels.
Thanks to @fclem for his work and yo @pepeland and @mendio for the testing and help in the development.

The old layout of `PointerRNA` was confusing for historic reasons:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct {
void *data;
} id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
This patch updates it to:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct ID *owner_id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
Throughout the code base `id.data` was replaced with `owner_id`.
Furthermore, many explicit pointer type casts were added which
were implicit before. Some type casts to `ID *` were removed.

This commit also provide a compatibility code that will convert old
materials using Additive or Multiply Blend mode to their node equivalent.
This conversion is only done on outputs that are enabled for eevee.
Unlike `fill_texpaint_slots_recursive`, `rna_Material_active_paint_texture_index_update` did not search for texture nodes that are inside node groups.

The goal is to prevent assignment of temporary or evaluated meshes
to objects from the main database.
Majority of the change is actually related on passing reports around.
On a positive side there are more error prints which can become more
visible to scripters.
There are still possible further improvements in the related areas.
For example, disable user counting for evaluated ID datablocks when
assignment happens. But can also happen later on as a separate
improvement.

New option to disable the follow drawing path. Before it had only a switch property, now there is a list of options.
Modes:
Path: Follows drawing stroke and rotate with object.
Object: Only follows object rotation.
None: Don't rotate.
This commit adds support for drawing Dots strokes with a gradient factor to get artistic effects like watercolor.
Currently, the option is only supported by Dots materials, and in the future will be added to line strokes, but now there is a limitation on drawing engine and we will keep disabled on Line materials.
Also, added the option to align Dots and Boxes strokes textures aligned with the drawing path to get more fluid strokes.
* EEVEE support through irradiance volume and light probe.
* New shader ball shape (designed by Robin Marin).
* New cloth and liquid shapes, removed monkey.
* Replace world sphere by toggle to use world for any shape.
* Slight bevel on cube.
* More subdivision for displacement preview.
* Fixed and improved UV mapping for all shapes.
* Material icon / asset preview now uses specified shape instead of always
a sphere. So for example hair material can be displayed as hair.

This makes it easier to exclude a surface from casting shadows and can be
used to manipulate the shadows even for opaque surfaces.
Versionning ensure that old behavior is transfered to new rendering logic.
Do proper tagging for material changes, and avoid grease-pencil hack
in the relations builder.
The dependency graph code was forcing animation to be run for any
copy-on-write change of material. However, animation is not supposed
to be run on copy-on-write changes.
When manually selecting a different image, this image will become pinned and
continue to show. The material node is not automatically modified as it was in
old Blender versions, only the image displayed in the UV editor.
Fixes T61239: confusing behavior when unwrapping non-square images. By showing
the relevant image by default it's more clear why it does aspect correction.
Convention was not to but after discussion on 918941483f we agree its
best to change the convention.
Names now mostly follow RNA.
Some exceptions:
- Use 'nodetrees' instead of 'nodegroups'
since the struct is called NodeTree.
- Use 'gpencils' instead of 'grease_pencil'
since 'gpencil' is a common abbreviation in the C code.
Other exceptions:
- Leave 'wm' as it's a list of one.
- Leave 'ipo' as is for versioning.
