Initial trigger to this work was T65782, requesting faster autoscroll
when current folder contains thousands of items. That was a fairly
simple change, just needed to make scrolling steps variable based on
'distance' between current position and desired one.
But several other issues showed up while working on this, among the most
annoying ones, the scrolltimer could keep running forever in some cases,
failing to detect properly an 'end condition', we could even get some
'bouncing' in extreme corner cases, edited item was not always properly
visible in the end, etc.
So as usual with UI, this ended up in a frustrating equilibrium game of
finding the optimal solution among several tradeof, taking unexpected
large amount of time... At least new code seems to work OK in
all possible (reasonable) cases, that will do for now.
We need to make those paths validation async, since some infamous OS is
unable to provide a quick way to check whether a path is valid or not...
Not much to say here, this is basic wmJob stuff really... We don’t even
need complex threaded coordination locks or atomics, given how simple
the changes are here.
Fake-tested with some `sleep()` calls to add atificial delay, seems to
work as expected.
We really do not need two 256 chars variables to hanlde renaming, a mere
pair of flags can handle the situation just as well.
Also, scroll to newly renamed item, will help when one want to find
again the directory they just added and rename.
At some point we'll probably want to refactor scrolling further (to make
it fully out of rename code/context e.g.), but for now think this will do.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
That kind of implicit includes should really only be done when totally,
absolutely necessary, and ideally only with rather simple 'second-level'
headers.
Otherwise not being explicit with includes always end up biting in
unexpected ways...
Fill-selection would only go upward in list of items to find an already
selected one and fill-select all items in-between. Now, in case upward
search fails, it will also intent to go downward, effectiviely allowing
to 'fill-select' from bottom to top.
Note that top-to-bottom keeps priority (i.e. if a top-to-bottom
fill-selection is possible, it will always happen, even if a
bottom-to-top one is also possible).
Border and circle select wait for input by default.
This commit uses bool properties on the operators instead of
magic number (called "gesture_mode").
Keymaps that define 'deselect' for border/circle select
begin immediately, exiting when on button release.
These may be exposed in UI (keymap editor & redo panel), so better avoid using identifiers like "UP" "DOWN". They are redundant anyway (already displayed).
Was kinda split in two different places (one allowed to modify given path to always get a valid one,
the other only checking for validity of given path), not nice - and broken in asset branch case.
So rather extended a bit FileList->checkdirf to handle both cases (modifying and non-modifying path).
Problem was in fact slightly wider, File space was nearly not taking into account
library navigation case and its 'virtual' directoris, except in a few places.
Add a wrapper around BLI_is_dir that also check for lib paths, and used it in
ED_file_change_dir(), such that we now always check path is a
valid directory - in the filebrowser context, not filesytem context. ;)
