We use column or row headings here to bring more structure, and to give
the eye visual anchors which aid eye-scanning. The left-aligned
checkboxes likewise help with this. And we keep the adherence to the
center line, so the alignment matches up between the various buttons and
controls.
* Changes the property split percentage from 50/50% to 40/60%. This is
needed to give enough space for the checkboxes. But in most cases this
looks better anyway - see Transform panel. In some cases it simply
fills out the available space more efficently.
* Fix various hacks where we previously used manually defined splits.
When we did this, the alignment was never quite right, and the layout
code was a mess.
* Adds column headings to many places where a list of checkboxes all
share a common purpose or leading text.
* Add checkbox + value configurations various places where a checkbox
only serves to enable the value slider
* Removes most uses of grid flow layout. The grid flow layouts combine
poorly with column headings, and also they would mess alignment up
badly. The grid flow layouts also often made buttons and controls jump
around on the screen if you would just resize editors slightly,
causing visual confusion, making users lose their place. The logic for
at what time the list of items would re-flow was often flawed, jumping
to multiple columns too fast or too late - and frankly, the grid flow
layouts would often just look bad.

The button seems to behave more as I'd expect without these
additional checks. Previously, the button was often grayed out when
it was actually working.

With Mantaflow the current smoke modifier UI will accommodate both smoke and liquids.
In addition, there is now an option for Mantaflow liquids in the quick effects section ("Quick Liquid").

New icons from Andrzej Ambroż / Jendrzych:
- Bespoke icon for creating new Collections
- Special icons for Rigid Body and Rigid Body Constraints (Physics Properties)
- New icons for Holdout and Indirect Only toggles in the Outliner
- New generic Cursor icon for cases that are not related to either Orientation or Pivot
Many other tweaks to existing icons, including:
- Add & Remove Keyframe
- Weight Paint & Collision Modifier
- Tablet Pressure Sensitivity
- Playback icons
This is intended for quick renders for previsualization, animation previews
or sequencer previews. It provides the same settings as found in the 3D view
Shading popover in solid display mode, but in the scene render properties.
The "Workbench" engine was removed, and this name no longer appears in the
user interface, it's purely an internal name. We might come up with a better
name for this OpenGL engine still, but it's good to be consistent with the
OpenGL Render operator name since this has a similar purpose.
Force Fields and Falloff are now simpler and more compact
by removing unnecesary labels (there was a text label just for one option)
Particle Force Fields Falloff is now a sub-panel of each effector type,
rather than just as a section with label.
ViewRender was removed, which means we can't get the render engine for files
saved in 2.8. We assume that any files saved in 2.8 were intended to use Eevee
and set the engine to that.
A fix included with this is that .blend thumbails now draw with Clay mode,
and never Eevee or Cycles. These were drawn with solid mode in 2.7, and should
be very fast and not e.g. load heavy image textures.

Engine is not stored in WorkSpaces. That defines the "context" engine, which
is used for the entire UI.
The engine used for the poll of nodes (add node menu, new nodes when "Use Nodes")
is obtained from context.
Introduce a ViewRender struct for viewport settings that are defined for
workspaces and scene. This struct will be populated with the hand-picked
settings that can be defined per workspace as per the 2.8 design.
* use_scene_settings
* properties editor: workshop + organize context path
Use Scene Settings
==================
For viewport drawing, Workspaces have an option to use the Scene render
settings (F12) instead of the viewport settings.
This way users can quickly preview the final render settings, engine and
View Layer. This will affect all the editors in that workspace, and it will be
clearly indicated in the top-bar.
Properties Editor: Add Workspace and organize context path
==========================================================
We now have the properties of:
Scene, Scene > Layer, Scene > World, Workspace
[Scene | Workspace] > Render Layer > Object
[Scene | Workspace] > Render Layer > Object > Data

Own previous fix (rBd5d626df236b) was not valid, curves are actually
supported by SoftBodies. It was rather a mere UI bug, which was not
including Surfaces and Font obect types in those valid for softbody UI.
Thanks to @brecht for the head up!
Also, fix safe for 2.79, btw.
This adds an option to force fields of type "Force", which enables the
simulation of gravitational behavior (dist^-2 falloff).

This mostly affects physics panels. Any engines relying on
RenderEngine.use_game_engine flag to show/hide panels will need to be
updated. The COMPAT_ENGINES technique is how we usually deal with this.
One issue with use_game_engine is that I cannot find a way to set it; it
appears only the BGE can set it. This means (without this commit)
external RenderEngines cannot get rid of the default physics panels.
The RE_GAME flag (the C flag behind use_game_engine) is pretty hacky
and we should look into removing its usage where possible.
Notes:
* Made those edits by full checking of py files, so I should have spoted most needed edits, yet it remains quite probable I missed a few ones, we'll fix if/when someone notice it...
* Also made some cleanup "on the road"!
* Reflect changes stated in prev commit about contexts in py code.
* Add a "Plural" context, to handle cases where english does not mark plural at all (e.g. shorten labels of only one adjective). Not so happy with that, but can't see any other way to do it, for now.
* Abuse "ID_CURVE" context for all falloff curves (this should solve some confusion issues, e.g. "sharp"...).
Systematically adding some custom id to template_list using default UI_UL_list class, this one is commoly used more than once in an area, yielding collision issues if they do not have a custom id...
