This commit adds a new command line argument --debug-ghost and
makes it so X11 errors happening during context initialization
are only printed when this new flag is sued.
There is no need to flood users with errors when their GPU is
not supporting latest OpenGL version. Or, at a very minimum,
the error must be more meaning full.

Adds a check when starting blender if your platform is supported. We use a blacklist
as drivers are updated more regular then blender (stable releases).
The mechanism detects if the support level changed or has been validated by the user previously.
Changes can happen due to users updating their drivers, but also when we change the support
level in our code base.
When the user has seen the limited support level message it is saved in the user config.
It would be better to have a system specific config section, but currently not clear
what could benefit from that.
When the platform is unsupported or has limited support a dialog box will appear including a link
to our user manual describing what to do.
**Windows**
Windows uses the MessageBox that is provided by the windows kernel.
**X11**
We use a very lowlevel messagebox for X11. It is very limited in use and can be fine tuned when needed.
**SDL/APPLE**
There is no implementation for SDL or APPLE at this moment as the platform support feature targets mostly Windows users.

For many users, this will make the File Browser window behave more like
what they would expect. It addresses the issue of the File Browser
becoming hidden behind the main window by clicking anywhere in the
latter. It communicates the interruptive, but temporary nature of the
operation a bit better.
Further, on tiling window managers the File Browser now opens as
floating by default, like in other applications.
Note that this also makes sure the File Browser is always opened as
separate window, so it doesn't re-use the Preferences, or any other
temporary window anymore. This seems to have been a common annoyance.
More concretely, this makes the File Browser window behave as follows:
* Stays on top of its parent Blender window, but not on top of
non-Blender windows.
* Minimizes with its parent window
* Can be moved independently
* Doesn't add an own item in task bars
* Doesn't block other Blender windows (we may want to have this though)
* Opens as floating window for tiling window managers (e.g. i3wm/Sway)
Further notes:
* When opening a file browser from the Preference window (or any
temporary window), the main window, as the file browsers parent is
moved on top of the Preferences, which makes it seem like the
Preferences were closed. This is the general issue of bad secondary
window handling as window activation changes. I made it so that the
window is moved back once the file browser is closed.
This behavior is confusing and would be nice to avoid. It's a separate
issue though.
* On most window managers on Linux the temporary window can not be
minimized and maximized, they disable that for dialog windows.
* On Windows and macOS, only minimizing is disabled, as there is no
decent way yet to restore a window if it's not shown in the taskbar.

Part of T69652.
There was a mix of old and new constants. Now have one list of WM_CURSOR_*
cursor types, using GHOST standard cursors when available and otherwise falling
back to our custom cursors.
Ref D5197
This is a general redesign of the File Browser GUI and interaction
methods. For screenshots, check patch D5601.
Main changes in short:
* File Browser as floating window
* New layout of regions
* Popovers for view and filter options
* Vertical list view with interactive column header
* New and updated icons
* Keymap consistency fixes
* Many tweaks and fixes to the drawing of views
----
General:
* The file browser now opens as temporary floating window. It closes on
Esc. The header is hidden then.
* When the file browser is opened as regular editor, the header remains
visible.
* All file browser regions are now defined in Python (the button
layout).
* Adjusted related operator UI names.
Keymap:
Keymap is now consistent with other list-based views in Blender, such as
the Outliner.
* Left click to select, double-click to open
* Right-click context menus
* Shift-click to fill selection
* Ctrl-click to extend selection
Operator options:
These previously overlapped with the source list, which caused numerous
issues with resizing and presenting many settings in a small panel area.
It was also generally inconsistent with Blender.
* Moved to new sidebar, which can easily be shown or hidden using a
prominent Options toggle.
* IO operators have new layouts to match this new sidebar, using
sub-panels. This will have to be committed separately (Add-on
repository).
* If operators want to show the options by default, they have the option
to do so (see `WM_FILESEL_SHOW_PROPS`, `hide_props_region`), otherwise
they are hidden by default.
General Layout:
The layout has been changed to be simpler, more standard, and fits
better in with Blender 2.8.
* More conventional layout (file path at top, file name at the bottom,
execute/cancel buttons in bottom right).
* Use of popovers to group controls, and allow for more descriptive
naming.
* Search box is always live now, just like Outliner.
Views:
* Date Modified column combines both date and time, also uses user
friendly strings for recent dates (i.e. "Yesterday", "Today").
* Details columns (file size, modification date/time) are now toggleable
for all display types, they are not hardcoded per display type.
* File sizes now show as B, KB, MB, ... rather than B, KiB, MiB, … They
are now also calculated using base 10 of course.
* Option to sort in inverse order.
Vertical List View:
* This view now used a much simpler single vertical list with columns
for information.
* Users can click on the headers of these columns to order by that
category, and click again to reverse the ordering.
Icons:
* Updated icons by Jendrzych, with better centering.
* Files and folders have new icons in Icon view.
* Both files and folders have reworked superimposed icons that show
users the file/folder type.
* 3D file documents correctly use the 3d file icon, which was unused
previously.
* Workspaces now show their icon on Link/Append - also when listed in
the Outliner.
Minor Python-API breakage:
* `bpy.types.FileSelectParams.display_type`: `LIST_SHORT` and
`LIST_LONG` are replaced by `LIST_VERTICAL` and `LIST_HORIZONTAL`.
Removes the feature where directories would automatically be created if
they are entered into the file path text button, but don't exist. We
were not sure if users use it enough to keep it. We can definitely bring
it back.

The same was done for Windows, but some extra changes were needed to make it
work on macOS. This is required because the Blender quit dialog now contains
additional settings for image saving.
This adds a new dialog that is shown whenever a file is closed.
So, either when a new file is opened, or when Blender quits.
The dialog allows to save unsaved changes. Furthermore it also
allows saving images that have been modified in Blender, but are
not saved yet.
Known limitations:
* Images that have no file path and have not been packed before,
are not saved.
* On MacOS the old dialog is shown when Blender quits.

Use this for the save confirmation dialog so it has a default action
when pressing enter which draws with a highlight so it's clear what the
default action is (the dialog was just closing before).

GHOST event handling does not need a window in the context, and restoring
it to the previous value is problematic if the window was deleted in the
meantime.
Remove confirmation popup menu, just exit.
Note that this option is mainly for developers or people reviewing
blend files, see D4406 for discussion on reason for keeping this feature
while simplifying how it works.
When the line width was larger than the UI scale, there was not enough
space for thicker widget outlines to draw properly. Now widgets are made
a little larger to accommodate the thicker outlines.

Blender is typically used maximized or fullscreen,
load maximized instead of attempting to fill the screen bounds.
To load un-maximized use '--window-border' argument.
See D4332
This feature is intended only for testing,
to automate simulating user input.
- Enabled by '--enable-event-simulate'.
- Disables handling all real input events.
- Access by calling `Window.event_simulate(..)`
- Disabling `bpy.app.use_event_simulate`
to allow handling real events (can only disable).
Currently only mouse & keyboard events work well,
NDOF, IME... etc could be added as needed.
See D4286 for example usage.
