The depth cache (located in `RegionView3D::depths`) is used for quick
and simple occlusion testing in:
- particle selection,
- "Draw Curve" operator and
- "Interactive Light Track to Cursor" operator,
However, keeping a texture buffer in cache is not a recommended practice.
For displays with high resolution like 8k this represents something
around 132MB.
Also, currently, each call to `ED_view3d_depth_override` invalidates
the depth cache. So that depth is never reused in multiple calls from
an operator (this was not the case in blender 2.79).
This commit allows to create a depth cache and release it in the same
operator. Thus, the buffer is kept in cache for a short time, freeing
up space.
No functional changes.
This patch adds support for filtering rows based on rules and values.
Filters will work for any attribute data source, they are a property
of the spreadsheet rather than of the attribute system. The properties
displayed in the row filter can depend on data type of the currently
visible column with that name. If the name is no longer visible, the
row filter filter is grayed out, but it will remember the value until
a column with its name is visible again.
Note: The comments in `screen.c` combined with tagging the sidebar
for redraw after the main region point to a lack of understanding
or technical debt, that is a point to improve in the future.
**Future Improvements**
* T89272: A search menu for visible columns when adding a new filter.
* T89273: Possibly a "Range" operation.

Clear the runtime data structs instead of individual members,
this simplifies adding new runtime members as there are at least
two places they would need to be cleared.
Resolves error in D8883.
This introduces a context path to the spreadsheet editor, which contains
information about what data is shown in the spreadsheet. The context
path (breadcrumbs) can reference a specific node in a node group
hierarchy. During object evaluation, the geometry nodes modifier checks
what data is currently requested by visible spreadsheets and stores
the corresponding geometry sets separately for later access.
The context path can be updated by the user explicitely, by clicking
on the new icon in the header of nodes. Under some circumstances,
the context path is updated automatically based on Blender's context.
This patch also consolidates the "Node" and "Final" object evaluation
mode to just "Evaluated". Based on the current context path, either
the final geometry set of an object will be displayed, or the data at
a specific node.
The new preview icon in geometry nodes now behaves more like
a toggle. It can be clicked again to clear the context path in an
open spreadsheet editor.
Previously, only an object could be pinned in the spreadsheet editor.
Now it is possible to pin the entire context path. That allows two
different spreadsheets to display geometry data from two different
nodes.
The breadcrumbs in the spreadsheet header can be collapsed by
clicking on the arrow icons. It's not ideal but works well for now.
This might be changed again, if we get a data set region on the left.

A `DataSource` provides columns for the spreadsheet to display.
Every column has a SpreadsheetColumnID as identifier. Columns
are not generated eagerly anymore, instead the main spreadsheet
code can request a column from a data source with an column
identifier. The column identifiers can be stored in DNA and allow us
to store persistent data per column.
On the user level the only thing that changes is that columns are
not shown in alphabetical order anymore. Instead, new columns
are always added on the left. The behavior can be changed,
however I'd prefer not to automate this too much currently. I think
we should just add operators to hide/reorder/resize columns soonish.

Now `ED_view3d_backbuf_depth_validate`, `ED_view3d_draw_depth` and
`ED_view3d_draw_depth_gpencil` are unified in `ED_view3d_depth_override`.
This new function replaces `ED_view3d_autodist_init`.
Also, since `ED_view3d_depth_update` depends on the render context, and
changing the context is a slow operation, that function also was removed,
and the depth buffer cached is now updated inside the new unified drawing
function when the "bool update_cache" parameter is true.
Finally `V3D_INVALID_BACKBUF` flag has been renamed and moved to
`runtime.flag`.

This implements the status bar as footer region in the
spreadsheet editor.
It shows the total number of rows and columns as well
as how many rows are actually visible (based on the filter).
The implementation stores the stats in a runtime struct during

This implements the MVP for the new spreadsheet editor (T85879). The functionality
is still very limited, but it proved to be useful already. A more complete picture
of where we want to go with the new editor can be found in T86279.
Supported features:
* Show point attributes of evaluated meshes (no original data, no other domains,
no other geometry types, yet). Since only meshes are supported right now, the
output of the Point Distribute is not shown, because it is a point cloud.
* Only show data for selected vertices when the mesh is in edit mode.
Different parts of Blender keep track of selection state and original-indices with
varying degrees of success. Therefore, when the selected-only filter is used, the
result might be a bit confusing when using some modifiers or nodes. This will
be improved in the future.
* All data is readonly. Since only evaluated data is displayed currently, it has to
be readonly. However, this is not an inherent limitation of the spreadsheet editor.
In the future editable data will be displayed as well.
Some boilerplate code for the new editor has been committed before in
rB9cb5f0a2282a7a84f7f8636b43a32bdc04b51cd5.
It would be good to let the spreadsheet editor mature for a couple of weeks as part
of the geometry nodes project. Then other modules are invited to show their own data
in the new editor!

Add an RNA function `activate_asset_by_id(asset_id: ID, deferred: bool)`
to the File Browser space type, which intended to be used to activate an
asset's entry as identified by its `ID *`. Calling it changes the active
asset, but only if the given ID can actually be found.
The activation can be deferred (by passing `deferred=True`) until the
next refresh operation has finished. This is necessary when an asset has
just been added, as it will be loaded by the filebrowser in a background
job.

This concerns currently only collections (`master_collection` of scenes)
and root node trees. It removes the matching type-specific helpers
(`BKE_collection_master_scene_search` and `BKE_node_tree_find_owner_ID`).
No functional change expected here.
NOTE: Current implementation of `owner_get` is far from optimal, we
could probably do it better, see {T69169}.
NOTE: While it could also have it, shapekeys IDTypeInfo was left out of
this change for now. Mainly because it sould not be used currently, and
we ultimately want to demote shape keys from ID status anyway.

Currently this is needed to properly tag PointCache's for info update
(fixes an issue reported in T82503).
Suspect we may need this in more cases in the future though, RNA
assign/update processes are not always 100% enough to deal with
complicated corner cases.
This commit moves runtime-only variables from the `SpaceNode`
DNA struct to a private struct in `node_intern.h`. Before, it was hard
to tell which data needed to be saved in files, this should make it
more clear.
Node that the `edittree` field is basically a runtime variable, since
it's set from the `treepath` list on read, but moving it would require
some more invasive changes that I don't think are worth it right now.
Also, not all of the moved variables were explicitly cleared on read--
`aspect` is set at the start of a redraw, `cursor` is set in a region
callback, and `recalc` was used as an update flag.

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.

Remove DNA headers, using forward declarations where possible.
Also removed duplicate header, header including it's self
and unnecessary inclusion of libc system headers from BKE header.
This way Outliner internal data stays internal, non-Outliner code will not be
able to access and mess with this. Further it allows us to use the real type
(rather than `void *`), change the type to a C++ container if needed and
slightly reduces the size for every Outliner stored in files.
Slightly changed how we set the `SO_TREESTORE_REBUILD` for this, but it should
effectively behave the same way as before.
This commit replaces while loops and for loops with the equivalent
macro. This results in much more readable code in some places,
and it's now more apparent when the situation is more complicated
than just iterating through a linked list.
As proposed in T74432 and already implemented in several commits,
"region" is the preferred name for `ARegion` variables, rather than
any variant of "ar". This commit changes a few "ar" variables that have
popped up over time and also adjusted names of variants like "arnew".
This introduces a new C++ abstraction "tree-display" (in this commit named
tree-view, renamed in a followup) to help constructing and managing the tree
for the different display types (View Layer, Scene, Blender file, etc.).
See https://developer.blender.org/D9499 for more context. Other developers
approved this rather significantly different design approach there.
----
Motivation
General problems with current design:
* The Outliner tree building code is messy and hard to follow.
* Hard-coded display mode checks are scattered over many places.
* Data is passed around in rather unsafe ways (e.g. lots of `void *`).
* There are no individually testable units.
* Data-structure use is inefficient.
The current Outliner code needs quite some untangling, the tree building seems
like a good place to start. This and the followup commits tackle that.
----
Design Idea
Idea is to have an abstract base class (`AbstractTreeDisplay`), and then
sub-classes with the implementation for each display type (e.g.
`TreeDisplayViewLayer`, `TreeDisplayDataAPI`, etc). The tree-display is kept
alive until tree-rebuild as runtime data of the space, so that further queries
based on the display type can be executed (e.g. "does the display support
selection syncing?", "does it support restriction toggle columns?", etc.).
New files are in a new `space_outliner/tree` sub-directory.
With the new design, display modes become proper units, making them more
maintainable, safer and testable. It should also be easier now to add new
display modes.
This is essentially adding that new callback, and using it only for already
existing Scene's 3DCursor.
Note that the place where this is called has been moved again, after all
have been lib-linked, such that those callbacks may also work on ID pointers.

The shortcuts act on the modifier with its panel under the mouse.
The following shortcuts are enabled by default:
- Remove modifier: X, Delete
- Apply modifier: Ctrl A
- Duplicate modifier: Shift D
More shortcuts can be added in the keymap.
Each panel can now store a custom data RNA pointer, and a new
function is added to get the custom data for the panel under the
cursor. This custom data could be used to refactor the "List Panel
System" to generalize it and integrate it further with RNA.
The same functionality will be added in further commits where it
applies to constraints, grease pencil modifiers, and effects.
