The matrix interpolation function `interp_m3_m3m3()` decomposes the
matrices into rotation and scale matrices, converts the rotation
matrices to quaternions, SLERPs the quaternions, and converts the result
back to a matrix. Since quaternions cannot represent axis flips, this
results in interpolation problems like described in T77154.
Our interpolation function is based on "Matrix Animation and Polar
Decomposition", by Ken Shoemake & Tom Duff. The paper states that it
produces invalid results when there is an axis flip in the rotation
matrix (or negative determinant, or negative scale, those all indicate
the same thing). Their solution is to multiply the rotation matrix with
`-I`, where `I` is the identity matrix. This is the same as element-wise
multiplication with `-1.0f`. My proposed solution is to not only do that
with the rotation matrix `R`, but also with the scale matrix `S`. This
ensures that the decomposition of `A = R * S` remains valid, while also
making it possible to conver the rotation component to a quaternion.
There is still an issue when interpolating between matrices with
different determinant. As the determinant represents the change in
volume when that matrix is applied to an object, interpolating between a
negative and a positive matrix will have to go through a zero
determinant. In this case the volume collapses to zero. I don't see this
as a big issue, though, as without this patch Blender would also produce
invalid results anyway.

These changes aren't aligned with other timeline selection keymaps
(graph & action for e.g.).
Revert these changes, shortcuts to time-line editors
should take other similar spaces into account.
When "Relative Remap" option was added, the intention was only to remap
paths that were already relative. However it remapped all paths.
This was reported as T62612 and fixed recently,
however some Python script authors depended on the old behavior.
For users, it's reasonable to use the existing operators to make paths
absolute/relative. For scripts however it's useful to be able to write
out individual data-blocks with the ability to make all paths relative.
Now `bpy.data.libraries.write()` takes a path_remap argument which can
be `NONE/RELATIVE/RELATIVE_ALL/ABSOLUTE` allowing the script author to
choose how paths are handled when writing out data-blocks.

This operator is written in python it is inserting keyframes to create fade

Add Sequence.invalidate() python function to invalidate strip if it is
changed in python.
Perhaps I could implement cache invalidation to actual curve manipulation.
I guess it wouldn't be very hard to do but having means to invalidate form

This commit changes the behavior of 4 snapping combinations:
**1. While constraining to a plane, snap to an edge element:**
The snap is made at the intersection between the edge direction and the
constraint plane.
**2. While constraining to a plane, snap to a face element:**
The snap is made to the nearest point between the snap point and the
line that intersects the face plane with the constraint plane.
**3. While constraining to an axis, snap to an edge/line element:**
The snap is made to the nearest point on the axis to the edge/line.
**4. While constraining to an axis, snap to a face element:**
The snap is made at the intersection of the axis and the plane defined
by the face.
To avoid unpredictable jumps outside view boundaries, an alignment
check is made for each of these snapping combinations.

Previous commits to fix parent selection introduced incorrect behavior
when selecting objects linked to multiple collections. The clicked
object would be selected, but also the first listed object in the tree
would be selected.
Instead of always searching for a parent object to select, only search
back when the selected element is not an ID_OB. This prevents multiple
selection of objects linked to multiple collections.
This values was not working because was removed by error in refactor.

This commit adds a new model to the Sky Texture node, which is based on a
method by Nishita et al. and works by basically simulating volumetric
scattering in the atmosphere.
By making some approximations (such as only considering single scattering),
we get a fairly simple and fast simulation code that takes into account
Rayleigh and Mie scattering as well as Ozone absorption.
This code is used to precompute a 512x128 texture which is then looked up
during render time, and is fast enough to allow real-time tweaking in the
viewport.
Due to the nature of the simulation, it exposes several parameters that
allow for lots of flexibility in choosing the look and matching real-world
conditions (such as Air/Dust/Ozone density and altitude).
Additionally, the same volumetric approach can be used to compute absorption
of the direct sunlight, so the model also supports adding direct sunlight.
This makes it significantly easier to set up Sun+Sky illumination where
the direction, intensity and color of the sun actually matches the sky.
In order to support properly sampling the direct sun component, the commit
also adds logic for sampling a specific area to the kernel light sampling
code. This is combined with portal and background map sampling using MIS.
This sampling logic works for the common case of having one Sky texture
going into the Background shader, but if a custom input to the Vector
node is used or if there are multiple Sky textures, it falls back to using
only background map sampling (while automatically setting the resolution to
4096x2048 if auto resolution is used).

This includes a few improvments:
1. Always expose delete. This is the button everyone wants the most,
it makes a lot of sense to expose this.
2. Improve "name hiding capability." Basically always align the mode
buttons to the right, and count their number to see if the name fits.
3. Aligns more items, to look better, save space, and make the whole
header seem more grouped.
4. In my tests the "switch contexts" button never coincides with the
delete button, so they share the same space.

If the panel is already open and you ctrl click on its header, its
sub-panels are now expanded / collapsed instead of toggling the
expansion for all other panels. If you're toggling a panel's expansion
it's already in view anyway, so there is no need to collapse the
other panels.

Now that we have a uniform consistent behavior in all our ID duplicate
funtions, we can easily factorize it greatly. Code gets cleaner,
smaller, and less error-prone.
Note that ultimately, this duplicate/deep copy behavior could be added
as a callback of IDTypeInfo.
We could also rethink the duplicate flags (some data, even some obdata,
like Lattice, are not coverred currently).
And so on. But at least code should now be much more easily maintainable
and extendable.
Previously, object (and sub-data) actions would be controlled by the
user preferences flag, collections actions would never be duplicted, and
scenes actions were always duplicated...
Now they all follow the user preferences settings.
Main change from user side, besides that all pointers should now be
properly remapped to new IDs, is that linked objects are no longer
preserved when doing a full copy of scenes.
Will open a task to check whether we actually still want that behavior
(and re-code it in a more correct way then).
This is the main part of work done here, it aims at uniformizing and
sanitizing that 'deep copy' process for supported IDs (currently scenes,
collections and objects).
Note that there will be more follow up commits after that one, but this
should be the most risky and changing one.
This resolves T73673 by allowing delete hierarchy in all outliner view
modes. It also unifies the collection and object hierarchy delete into a
single operator like in rBae98a033c856. This makes it easier to delete
all selected collection and object hierarchies at once.
This also removes the old object delete hierarchy code in favor of the
batch delete code which has been default for over a year.

Change how the radius, changing the size of meta plane, sphere & cube.
Previously the size of these primitives would be kept the same,
with only the radius outside the primitive being scaled.
This led to small scale adding a lot of polygons instead
of scaling the primitive down as users would expect.
Also change behavior not to change the resolution when adding
to an existing meta-ball.
Adding volume obdata option to `eDupli_ID_Flags` enum made it go beyond
the 16 bits of a short... Also, enums should typically be stored in
unsigned integers.
Using enum type itself in implementations, and uint in headers (as using
enums types in headers is a pain when enum are not defined and used in a
single same header file...).
It makes no sense to deep-copy a collection and not also copy its
children collections... Parameter was not used anymore anyway.
So now this duplicate function will always at least deep-duplicate all
of its children collections, recursively.
We want to get rid of those for all ID types ultimately, but that one
was only used in one place, being the only one calling
`BKE_collection_duplicate` without hierarchical duplicate and parent
collection pointer, effectively using the full power of the complex deep
duplication code for a mere `BKE_id_copy` call...
This will allow for further cleanup in duplicate code.
This adds the `MultiFunction` type and some smallish utility types that it uses.
A `MultiFunction` encapsulates a function that is optimized for throughput by
always processing many elements at once.
This is an important part of the new particle system, because it allows us to
execute user generated node trees for many particles efficiently.
