Expose a key-map preference "Fallback Tool (RMB)",
disabled by default.
The right mouse button uses the fallback tool
(currently visible selection tool in the toolbar),
instead of always tweaking.
When any selection tool is active, right mouse always tweaks.
To enable fallback selection on RMB, set the "Right Mouse Select Action"
to "Selection Tool".
Internal changes:
- Add fall-back key-maps, separate key-maps needed for when the tool is
run as a fall-back. This is needed so RMB-select can support fall-back
tools, so left-mouse can be used when it's the active tool and RMB
can be used as a fall-back action when another tool is active.
- Add options field to tools so tools without gizmos can enable the
full-back tool keymap.
- Support multiple key-maps for keymap handlers.
- Fall-back keymaps now co-exist with the tool-keymaps.
So both keymaps may be active at once - using different mouse buttons.
When gizmos are in use, a highlighted gizmo prioritizes the
tool-keymap over the fall-back keymap.
Resolves T83690.

Support waiting for input so operators that depend on the
cursor location are usable from menus / buttons.
Use an operator type flag which the user interface code checks for,
waiting for input when run from a menu item.
This patch only supports this feature, there are no functional changes.
The motivation for this change is discoverability since some actions
were either hidden or broken when accessed from menus
(where the behavior of the operator depended on the menu location).
In general, waiting for input is *not* an efficient way to access tools,
however there are over 50 operators with a "wait_for_input" property
so this isn't introducing a new kind of interaction,
rather exposing this in a way that does not need to be hard-coded into
each operator, or having modal callbacks added for the sole purpose
of waiting for input.
Besides requiring boiler plate code using a "wait_for_input" property
has the added down-side of preventing key shortcuts from showing.
Only the menu items will enable the property,
causing them not to match key-map items.

Makes it possible to create tooltips for UI list rows, which can be
filled in .py scripts, similar to how they can extend other menus. This
is used by the (to be committed) Pose Library add-on to display pose
operations (selecting bones of a pose, blending a pose, etc).
It's important that the Python scripts check if the UI list is the
correct one by checking the list ID.
For this to work, a new `bpy.context.ui_list` can be checked. For
example, the Pose Library add-on does the following check:
```
def is_pose_asset_view() -> bool:
# Important: Must check context first, or the menu is added for every kind of list.
list = getattr(context, "ui_list", None)
if not list or list.bl_idname != "UI_UL_asset_view" or list.list_id != "pose_assets":
return False
if not context.asset_handle:
return False
return True
```
This patch adds domain and data type information to each row of the
attribute search menu. The data type is displayed on the right, just
like how the list is exposed for the existing point cloud and hair
attribute panels. The domain is exposed on the left like the menu
hierarchy from menu search.
For the implementation, the attribute hint information is stored as a
set instead of a multi-value map so that every item (which we need to
point to descretely in the search process) contains the necessary data
type and domain information by itself. We also need to allocate a new
struct for every button, which requires a change to allow passing a
newly allocated argument to search buttons.
Note that the search does't yet handle the case where there are two
attributes with the same name but different domains or data types in
the input geometry set. That will be handled as a separate improvement.

This adds the initial boilerplate code that is required to introduce
the new spreadsheet editor. The editor is still hidden from the ui.
It can be made visible by undoing the change in `rna_screen.c`.

Ref T86279.
Currently when you open an RNA collection search button, like a
vertex group selector, the search filter isn't applied until you
start typing, in order to display every option at the start.
Otherwise they wouldn't be visible, since the search filter would
run for the current text.
Currently this check happens in one place, but it relies on the
`changed` value of `uiBut`. This is fine in the interface directory,
but anywhere else it would require exposing `uiBut.changed`, which
is probably too low-level to expose.
The solution is adding an `is_first` argument to the search callbacks,
which is nice for a few reasons:
- They work at a higher level of abstraction, meaning they don't
have to worry about how exactly to tell if this is the first
search.
- It makes it easier to do special behavior when the search menu
is first opened.
- Then, obviously, it makes that state accessible without including
`interface_intern.h`.

Long data-block names are clipped to fit into data-block selector menus. For
linked data-blocks, there's also a hint indicating the source library, which
takes further space and may get clipped too.
So this commit adds a tooltip to the menu items, which displays the full,
unclipped data-block name and the unclipped library name. Plus, the library
path is shown too, which is also useful info.
Adds helper functions for search menu item tooltips, so these are easier to add
to other search menus in future.

Blender does string based searching in many different places.
This patch updates four of these places to use the new string

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.

Regression from d6cefef98f
This also fixes an unreported issue where finding an exact match
wasn't being detected for items that contained an ID prefix.
This addresses warnings from Clang-Tidy's `readability-else-after-return`
rule in the `source/blender/editors/interface` module.
No functional changes.
Without this, only actions in the top-bar were visible
which isn't very useful.
Now menus are extracted from the areas used in the active window,
unless this search is activated by the key shortcut,
in this case the current area is used.
