With the new automatic handle algorithm, it is possible to do a lot
of the animation via keyframes without touching the curves. It is
however necessary to change the keyframe interpolation and handle
types in certain cases. Currently the dopesheet/action editor
allows changing the types, but does not show them in any way.
To fix, add a new menu option to display this information. For handle
type, it is represented using the shape of the key icons: diamond for
Free, clipped diamond for Aligned, square for Vector, circle for Auto
Clamp, and cirle with dot for Automatic.
Non-bezier interpolation is a property of intervals between keys,
so it is marked by drawing lines, similar to holds. In this initial
version, only the fact of non-bezier interpolation is displayed,
without distinguishing types. For summaries, the line is drawn at
half alpha if not all curves in the group are non-bezier.
In addition, it is sometimes helpful to know the general direction
of change of the curve, and which keys are extremes. This commit
also adds an option to highlight extremes, based on comparing the
keyed values with adjacent keys. Half-intensity display is used
for overshot bezier extremes, or non-uniform summaries.

Add the necessary colors and/or alpha components to the theme instead.
Also switch the background for ordinary channels to use the likely
intended theme option, instead of the window background color.
The general rule is that the channel color is drawn full strength in the
channel list on the left, and with alpha in the actual key frame area on
the right. This alpha is also reused with bone group colors.

For now we have categories collection, object, object data, modifiers &
constraints, and shading. The icons can be categorized by adding e.g.
DEF_ICON_OBJECT() in UI_icons.h.
Light themes will need to be updated to use darker colors to keep icons
visible in the outliner.
This commit merge the full development done in greasepencil-object branch and include mainly the following features.
- New grease pencil object.
- New drawing engine.
- New grease pencil modes Draw/Sculpt/Edit and Weight Paint.
- New brushes for grease pencil.
- New modifiers for grease pencil.
- New shaders FX.
- New material system (replace old palettes and colors).
- Split of annotations (old grease pencil) and new grease pencil object.
- UI adapted to blender 2.8.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
A toggle for this is no longer required now that both header and background
colors are RGBA (disabling Show Header is the same setting the alpha to 0).
Thanks Brecht for reviewing!
Based on feedback from the 'User Feedback' devtalk forum
* More opaque panels for the viewport
* Darker state colors
* Current frame color consistency for MCE
Restore theem setting default for Graph Editor's vertex,
with default alpha set to 1.0. The alpha value here needs
to be non-zero, as the alpha values currently get used
when drawing verts.
Workaround for now until all editors tabs share the dedicated Tab theme
settings under User Interface (which the top bar is currently using).
Thanks SimonStorl-Schulke from devtalk forum for feedback.
Selected color is now .9 alpha so keyed/animated/driven statuses
show through when widget is active. Assign color for overriden state.
Also fix progress bar not visible.
The shortcut labels now use the "Item" theme color. Its contrast for hovered
items is a bit low, but not too bad.
Note that this also changes the color of the little toolbar triangle to be grey
(the same color we use for the keymap label). IMHO that looks better though.
This doesn't update any themes other than the default one.
Part of T54711.
The theme is now stored in generated C code,
which can be extracted from existing user preferences.
This theme can then be used for version patching themes
instead of duplicating values
Note that theme versioning has been removed,
since minor changes from now on won't apply well on top of 2.7x theme.
Theme colors from interface_widgets.c have been removed too.
