This patch implements the list panel system D7490 for modifiers.
It also moves modifier drawing to a callback in ModifierTypeInfo
in line with the extensible architecture refactoring goal T75724.
This adds a PanelRegister callback and utilities for registering
panels and subpanels. It also adds the callbacks for expansion saving
and drag and drop reordering described in D7490.
These utilities, callbacks, and other common UI elements shared
between modifiers live in MOD_ui_common.c.
Because modifier buttons are now in panels, we can make use of
subpanels for organization. The UI layouts also use the single
column layout style consistently used elsewhere in Blender.
Additionally, the mode-setting buttons are aligned and ordered
consistently with the outliner.
However, the large number of UI changes in this patch may mean
that additional polishing is required in master.
Thanks to William Reynish (@billreynish) who did a fair amount of the
layout work and to Julian Eisel (@Severin) for consistent help.

- uiTemplateID: Straightforward, just const for the template
and the functions it calls
- uiTemplateCacheFile: Create a function in rna_ui.c because
the generated RNA callback doesn't have const context.

This data block will be the container for simulation node trees.
It will be used for the new particle node system (T73324).
The new data block has the type `ID_SIM`.
It is not visible to users and other developers by default yet.
To enable it, activate the cmake option `WITH_NEW_SIMULATION_TYPE`.
New simulation data blocks can be created by running `bpy.data.simulations.new("name")`.

Makes the following layout changes possible:
{F8473498} {F8473499} {F8473502}
The next commit will contain many layout changes to make good use of
these new possibilities. The result should be more consistent, easier to
read and should give a more organized impression. Additionally, it
should be possible to replace many sub-panels with compacter layouts.
Main changes:
* Checkboxes now respect the property split layouts
* Add support for row and column headers (i.e.
`uiLayout.column(heading="Foo")`, `uiLayout.row(heading="Bar")`). If the
first property added to this layout doesn't insert anything into the label
split column, the heading is inserted there. Otherwise, it's inserted as own
item.
* Add support for manually inserting decorators for an existing item
(`uiLayout.prop_decorator()`). That way layout creators can manually insert
this, which was the only way I saw to support property split layouts with a
checkbox before the actual property. {F8471883}
* Autogenerated layouts for operator properties look bad if there are only
checkboxes (which only use half the region width). So before creating the
layout, we iterate over visible properties and disable split layout if all
are booleans. I think this is fine, if needed we could also add layout hints
to operators.
* `uiTemplateOperatorPropertyButs()` now handles macros itself, the caller
used to be responsible for this. Code that didn't handle these so far never
used macros I think, so this change should be invisible.
* Remove manual property split layout from autogenerated operator properties
layout.
* Padding of checkboxes is tweaked to make their label visually more connected
to the checkboxes.
* Support split layout for menus (should work for `uiLayout.menu()`,
`.operator_menu_enum()`, `.prop_menu_enum()`, maybe more)

LIB_TAG_EXTRAUSER_SET flag
For example in the Image Editor, an assert would be triggered after
unlinking an image [with setting users to zero] and then setting the
image for the Image Editor again.
Whenever we set an Image for Image Editor, the Image ID is flagged
LIB_TAG_EXTRAUSER_SET, when we unlink [with setting users to zero] this
flag was not cleared.
quote @mont29: "a proper fix would be to move this to modern code, and
actually delete the ID..." but that is for later.

- Show dimmed text for the menu entries leading up to the menu item.
- Show icons between the menu text and menu item.
- Use unicode right pointing triangle instead of arrow.
Pointer search buttons created with `uiItemPointerR()` (which allows
also passing a collection property to search in) did not work with the
split property layout (i.e. `uiLayout.use_property_split`).
For example vertex group search buttons typically use this.
Note that decorators (`uiLayout.use_property_decorate`) are not
supported yet. Although if they are enabled, the decorator column is
still created to keep the layout alignment visually intact. Also re-uses
the existing hack to allow placing multiple items in the row before the
decorator column.
Needed for some in-progress changes to the modifier stack UI.
Note this only changes cases where the variable was declared inside
the for loop. To handle it outside as well is a different challenge.

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 has some advantages over operator search:
- Some operators need options set to be usefully accessed.
- Shows key bindings to access menus
(for actions that don't have key bindings themselves).
- Non operator actions such as check-boxes are also shown.
- Menu items can control execution context, using invoke or execute
where appropriate so we can control how the operator runs.
Part of the design task T74157.
This can be tested using the 'Experimental' preferences section
or selected in the key-map editor.
Mpving utils from idcode to idtype proved to be somewhat painful for
some reasons, but now all looks good.
Had to add a fake/empty shell for the special snowflake too,
`ID_LINK_PLACEHOLDER/INDEX_ID_NULL`...
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 convention was easy to confuse with ScrArea.
Part of https://developer.blender.org/T74432.
This is mostly a batch rename with some manual fixing. Only single word
variable names are changed, no prefixed/suffixed names.
Brecht van Lommel and Campbell Barton both gave me a green light for
this convention change.
Also ran clan clang format on affected files.
Instead of using anonymous booleans flags, also allows to keep the same
behavior in all cases, without needing special handling from calling
code for our beloved oddballs object proxies...
