These functions with many arguments can be unwieldy. Aside from the obvious issues
with rewriting the list of arguments and the opportunities for error and frustration
that presents, the long list of arguments make these systems hard to change. So when
an argument should be added, someone might skip that and add some hack instead.
So, as proposed in T73586#1037210, this patch instead uses a "params" struct for
each of these callbacks.
- Use param argument for `ARegionType.listener`
- Remove unused window field in region listener
- Use param argument for `SpaceType.listener`
- Use params struct for `ARegionType.message_subscribe`

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])

Partially reverts 2250b5cefe.
Removing the user count and fake user count icons was controversial (which was
expected) and there are a few further changes needed, that won't make it in
time for the release, see D9946.
While there is a design to bring back the user count and fake user indicators,
a new design idea was proposed that the UI team wants to follow. This came too
late for the 2.92 release, the new design is targeted at the 2.93 release now.
Meanwhile, UI team decision was to simply revert the design changes.
The new design is being worked on in https://developer.blender.org/T84669.
Note that this commit does not revert some internal changes done in
2250b5cefe. Namely the introduction of `ed_util_ops.c` and data-block
operators in there. These will still be needed in the new design.
There should be a conversion to native pixel size as expected by GHOST at the

* This way you don't have to look up the function declaration to know what the

* You can call the function in a loop over the available sizes and pass the
index as size.
* Makes it easier to add a new size in future if needed.
Having a centeral place to find a list of all library overrides should be
useful for managing production scenes where library overrides are used a lot.
This change adds the individually overridden properties of a data-block under
the data-block itself. Just how we show modifiers, constraints or pose channels
there. This way we can also expose library override operations/options better
in future.
There's also a filter option for the library overrides now, so they can be
hidden. It is only available in the View Layer display mode though, like the
other filter options.
One internal change this has to do is adding more informative return values to
undo pushes and the library override functions called by it. That way we can
send a notifier when library overrides change for the Outliner to know when to
rebuild the tree.

After 1e799dd26e, the logic to recognize a temporary File Browser window
didn't work correctly anymore. It would recognize a maximized File Browser
inside a temporary window as a temporary File Browser window, and attempt to
close this (rather than returning to the previous layout).
The logic there was pretty weak, and still is I think. A more stable solution
would need bigger refactoring.
With this, it's also not possible to maximize or fullscreen an area within a
temporary window (Preferences, File Browser, render window) anymore. Think that
won't make a noticable difference, since you couldn't open multiple areas there
anyway, and the area seems to be maximized already.
Cleaned up the code a bit to not become more confusing with the changes.
Don't add the same stats refresh notifiers multiple times, it can be slow to
search the full list of notifiers for duplicates when there are many.
Fundamentally the time complexity in searching for duplicates is still bad.
Inspired by D9901 from Erik Abrahamsson
The previous design is rather old and has a couple of problems:
* Scalability: The current solution of adding little icon buttons next to the
data-block name field doesn't scale well. It only works if there's a small
number of operations. We need to be able to place more items there for better
data-block management. Especially with the introduction of library overrides.
* Discoverability: It's not obvious what some of the icons do. They appear and
disappear, but it's not obvious why some are available at times and others
not.
* Unclear Status: Currently their library status (linked, indirectly linked,
broken link, library override) isn't really clear.
* Unusual behavior: Some of the icon buttons allow Shift or Ctrl clicking to
invoke alternative behaviors. This is not a usual pattern in Blender.
This patch does the following changes:
* Adds a menu to the right of the name button to access all kinds of operations
(create, delete, unlink, user management, library overrides, etc).
* Make good use of the "disabled hint" for tooltips, to explain why buttons are
disabled. The UI team wants to establish this as a good practise.
* Use superimposed icons for duplicate and unlink, rather than extra buttons
(uses less space, looks less distracting and is a nice + consistent design
language).
* Remove fake user and user count button, they are available from the menu now.
* Support tooltips for superimposed icons (committed mouse hover feedback to
master already).
* Slightly increase size of the name button - it was already a bit small
before, and the move from real buttons to superimposed icons reduces usable
space for the name itself.
* More clearly differentiate between duplicate and creating a new data-block.
The latter is only available in the menu.
* Display library status icon on the left (linked, missing library, overridden,
asset)
* Disables "Make Single User" button - in review we weren't sure if there are
good use-cases for it, so better to see if we can remove it.
Note that I do expect some aspects of this design to change still. I think some
changes are problematic, but others disagreed. I will open a feedback thread on
devtalk to see what others think.

If Preferences > Interface > Temporary Editors > File Browser is set to
"Maximized Area", "Load Custom Preview" in the Asset Browser would crash
after selecting the file.
1e799dd26e was important to get this issue fixed. This commit just
ensures the file-list is recreated correctly after closing the temporary
File Browser, so the custom preview operator can execute on valid
context.
Storing the asset library reference by name wasn't a good idea, I thought it
would work with a careful fallback, but it's easier to just use the index
instead. So change to using indices, make sure fallback methods work reliable
and make sure the file list is updated when asset libraries are removed.
I added a new notifier type for the latter, I prefer not using file notifiers
in asset-library/preferences code. We have more than enough values for
notifiers left.
The Asset Browser will be a sub-editor of the File Browser. This prepares the
File Browser code for that.
**File-Lists**
* Support loading assets with metadata read from external files into the
file-list.
* New main based file-list type, for the "Current File" asset library.
* Refresh file-list when switching between browse modes or asset libraries.
* Support empty file-lists (asset library with no assets).
* Store file previews as icons, so scripts can reference them via icon-id. See
previous commit.
**Space Data**
* Introduce "browse mode" to differeniate between file and asset browsing.
* Add `FileAssetSelectParams` to `SpaceFile`, with `FileSelectParams` as base.
Makes sure data is separated between asset and file browsing when switching
between them. The active params can be obtained through
`ED_fileselect_get_active_params()`.
* `FileAssetSelectParams` stores the currently visible asset library ID.
* Introduce file history abstraction so file and asset browsing can keep a
separate history (previous and next directories).
**General**
* Option to only show asset data-blocks while file browsing (not exposed here).
* Add "active_file" context member, so scripts can get and display info about
the active file.
* Add "active_id" context member, so `ED_OT_lib_id_load_custom_preview` can set
a custom ID preview. (Only for "Current File" asset library)
* Expose some of `FileDirEntry` in RNA as (non-editable). That way scripts can
obtain name, preview icon and asset-data.

For the Asset Browser, it needs to be possible to drag assets into various
editors, which may not come from the current .blend file. In other words, the
dragging needs to work with just the asset metadata, without direct access to
the data-block itself.
Idea is simple: When dragging an asset, store the source file-path and
data-block name and when dropping, append the data-block. It uses existing drop
operators, but the function to get the dropped data-block is replaced with one
that returns the local data-block, or, in case of an external asset, appends
the data-block first.
The drop operators need to be adjusted to use this new function that respects
assets. With this patch it only works for dragging assets into the 3D view.
Note that I expect this to be a short-lived change. A refactor like D4071 is
needed to make the drag & drop system more future proof for assets and other
use cases.

This makes it possible to turn data-blocks into assets and back into normal

Users have to explicitly mark data-blocks as assets.

* Avoid direct access to `SpaceFile.params`, use a getter instead. This matters
because once the asset-browser changes are in, there will be an alternative
selection parameter object. The getter can return the correct one.
* Rename the function to ensure the parameters. The old name
`ED_fileselect_get_params()` wasn't a mere getter, it would create the
parameters if necessary. Now we have an actual getter, so better be clear.
* In some instances, I replaced the old "get" function with the new mere
getter. So the ensure logic is called less often. However, in these cases we
should be able to assume the selection parameters were created already as
part of the editor creation routine.
The term "active" in the new function names may seem a bit odd in the current
context, but that is a preparation for the Asset Browser merge as well. Like
said, there will be two file selection parameter objects in the space.

This patch adds support for AOVs in EEVEE. AOV Outputs can be defined in the
render pass tab and used in shader materials. Both Object and World based
shaders are supported. The AOV can be previewed in the viewport using the
renderpass selector in the shading popover.
AOV names that conflict with other AOVs are automatically corrected. AOV
conflicts with render passes get a warning icon. The reason behind this is that
changing render engines/passes can change the conflict, but you might not notice
it. Changing this automatically would also make the materials incorrect, so best
to leave this to the user.
**Implementation**
The patch adds a copies the AOV structures of Cycles into Blender. The goal is
that the Cycles will use Blenders AOV defintions. In the Blender kernel
(`layer.c`) the logic of these structures are implemented.
The GLSL shader of any GPUMaterial can hold multiple outputs (the main output
and the AOV outputs) based on the renderPassUBO the right output is selected.
This selection uses an hash that encodes the AOV structure. The full AOV needed
to be encoded when actually drawing the material pass as the AOV type changes
the behavior of the AOV. This isn't known yet when the GLSL is compiled.
**Future Developments**
* The AOV definitions in the render layer panel isn't shared with Cycles.
Cycles should be migrated to use the same viewlayer aovs. During a previous
attempt this failed as the AOV validation in cycles and in Blender have
implementation differences what made it crash when an aov name was invalid.
This could be fixed by extending the external render engine API.
* Add support to Cycles to render AOVs in the 3d viewport.
* Use a drop down list for selecting AOVs in the AOV Output node.
* Give user feedback when multiple AOV output nodes with the same AOV name
exists in the same shader.
* Fix viewing single channel images in the image editor [T83314]
* Reduce viewport render time by only render needed draw passes. [T83316]
