Outliner display under 'Animation' > 'NLA Tracks' was not updating in
the following cases:
- adding strips
- removing strips
- duplicating strips (possibly to different track)
- swapping strips
- reordering tracks
- changing strip order by translating
- translating strips between tracks
- renaming tracks
In the case of deleting strips/tracks, this was also resulting in a use-
after-free error in Outliner drawing code (this was reported specifically
in T84586).
Most of these operators already sent a ND_NLA|NA_EDITED notifier, but the
Outliner is not listening to these. Listening to NA_EDITED is also not
what we want since this also happens a lot in cases irrelevant to the
Outliner. Now be a bit more specific and send ND_NLA|NA_ADDED / ND_NLA|
NA_REMOVED or a new ND_NLA_ORDER (to distinguish from NA_EDITED
'only' - where a redraw is not neccessary) and listen to these from the
Outliner.
(note: places that were listening to ND_NLA|NA_EDITED before are also
listening to NA_ADDED or NA_REMOVED, so changing NA_EDITED should not be
a problem here)
(note 2: for cases like swapping tracks/strips order, NA_ADDED or
NA_REMOVED does not make sense, neither can we use NA_EDITED [since we
dont want to listen to this], so in this case an additional ND_NLA_ORDER
is now sent)
(note 3: in nla transform code, this is now always sent on confirm. There
are cases were the notifier would not be needed, but checking exactly all
cases were it actually would be needed seems overkill [history of D10073
has example code to check if strips moved between tracks])

Also makes NLA tracks and strips overridable.
User can either edit existing strips in existing NLA tracks (but not add or remove them), and/or add new NLA tracks after those comming from the linked data.
Most of the work was as usual checking operators and adding protections against illegal operations in override context.
Note that since we can only rely on indices to deal with local added tracks, we forbid any local track being before any linked/original track.

Add "Selection to" as prefix for those menu items that move the selected
keyframes to something, for both the Key → Snap menu and the Shift+S pie
menu.

Those were only shallow wrappers around `BKE_id_copy`, barely used (even
fully unused in some cases), and we want to get rid of those ID-specific
helpers for the common ID management tasks. Also prevents weird custom
behaviors (like `BKE_object_copy`, who was the only basic ID copy
function to reset user count of the new copy to zero).
Part of 71219.
Change the way Sync Length works so that it keeps keyframes at the same
key as before the sync. Now when the user exits tweak mode, the overall
NLA result is unchanged.

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.
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.
In our animation editors, we have a feature called View Frame. Problem is, it is not self evident what this feature does. Does it show frame numbers? Does it show all frames? Does it frame the view? Does it frame the view?
What this does, is it moves the view to where the playhead is. With clearer naming, we can communicate this much more clearly.
This is just a simple patch that changes the name from 'View Frame' -> 'Go to Current Frame'.

A lot of areas were querying sound information directly using audio handle
which does not exist on an original sound IDs.
This change basically makes it so it's possible to query information about
given sound ID, without worrying about whether it's loaded or not: if it is
needed to load it first it happens automatically (no automatically-opened
handles are left behind though).
While this seems a bit extreme to open files on such queries it is still
better than the old situation when all sound handles were opened on file
load, no matter if it's needed or not. Besides, none of the changed code
paths are performance critical, just handful of tools.

The main reason for this change is to allow setting the
active frame with the left mouse button, while still being
able to select e.g. keyframes with the same mouse button.
The solution is to introduce a new scrubbing region with
a specialized keymap. There are a couple of related todos,
that will be handled in separate commits.
Those are listed in D4654.
This solves T63193.

At first you could think that this refactor would not be
necessary, because `ACHANNEL_FIRST` exists already.
It contained the small y offset that all channels had.
Unfortunately, a lot of code assumed that
`ACHANNEL_FIRST = -ACHANNEL_HEIGHT`, making the
define pretty much useless. This refactor fixes that
for the action and nla editor.
As a nice side effect, this patch fixes channel box select.
Before there was always have a half-channel offset.

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.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
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.
NLA strips are users of their action, so we need to pass along ID
management flags.
This commit also cleans up a bit things by passing along ID_CREATE/COPY
flags instead of dummy booleans...
It's been 9 years too long.
And don't get this one confused with nla.bake (why would you even?).
The·BakeAction operator will be renamed to NLA_TO_bake next.
Cyclic extrapolation is implemented as an f-curve modifier, so this
technically violates abstraction separation and is something of a hack.
However without such behavior achieving smooth looping with cyclic
extrapolation is extremely cumbersome.
The new behavior is applied when the first modifier is Cyclic
extrapolation in Repeat or Repeat with Offset mode without
using influence, repeat count or range restrictions.
This change in behavior means that curve handles have to be updated
when the modifier is added, removed or its options change. Due to the
way code is structured, it seems it requires a helper link to the
containing curve from the modifier object.
