This patch implements the list panel system D7490 for modifiers.
It also moves modifier drawing to a callback in ModifierTypeInfo
in line with the extensible architecture refactoring goal T75724.
This adds a PanelRegister callback and utilities for registering
panels and subpanels. It also adds the callbacks for expansion saving
and drag and drop reordering described in D7490.
These utilities, callbacks, and other common UI elements shared
between modifiers live in MOD_ui_common.c.
Because modifier buttons are now in panels, we can make use of
subpanels for organization. The UI layouts also use the single
column layout style consistently used elsewhere in Blender.
Additionally, the mode-setting buttons are aligned and ordered
consistently with the outliner.
However, the large number of UI changes in this patch may mean
that additional polishing is required in master.
Thanks to William Reynish (@billreynish) who did a fair amount of the
layout work and to Julian Eisel (@Severin) for consistent help.

- uiTemplateID: Straightforward, just const for the template
and the functions it calls
- uiTemplateCacheFile: Create a function in rna_ui.c because
the generated RNA callback doesn't have const context.

Makes the following layout changes possible:
{F8473498} {F8473499} {F8473502}
The next commit will contain many layout changes to make good use of
these new possibilities. The result should be more consistent, easier to
read and should give a more organized impression. Additionally, it
should be possible to replace many sub-panels with compacter layouts.
Main changes:
* Checkboxes now respect the property split layouts
* Add support for row and column headers (i.e.
`uiLayout.column(heading="Foo")`, `uiLayout.row(heading="Bar")`). If the
first property added to this layout doesn't insert anything into the label
split column, the heading is inserted there. Otherwise, it's inserted as own
item.
* Add support for manually inserting decorators for an existing item
(`uiLayout.prop_decorator()`). That way layout creators can manually insert
this, which was the only way I saw to support property split layouts with a
checkbox before the actual property. {F8471883}
* Autogenerated layouts for operator properties look bad if there are only
checkboxes (which only use half the region width). So before creating the
layout, we iterate over visible properties and disable split layout if all
are booleans. I think this is fine, if needed we could also add layout hints
to operators.
* `uiTemplateOperatorPropertyButs()` now handles macros itself, the caller
used to be responsible for this. Code that didn't handle these so far never
used macros I think, so this change should be invisible.
* Remove manual property split layout from autogenerated operator properties
layout.
* Padding of checkboxes is tweaked to make their label visually more connected
to the checkboxes.
* Support split layout for menus (should work for `uiLayout.menu()`,
`.operator_menu_enum()`, `.prop_menu_enum()`, maybe more)

For buttons representing node inputs (e.g. in the material properties)
rather than drawing some generic socket icon, the actual sockets are
drawn now. That includes color, shape and the selection outline.
This should make it easier to understand what these buttons relate to.

This has some advantages over operator search:
- Some operators need options set to be usefully accessed.
- Shows key bindings to access menus
(for actions that don't have key bindings themselves).
- Non operator actions such as check-boxes are also shown.
- Menu items can control execution context, using invoke or execute
where appropriate so we can control how the operator runs.
Part of the design task T74157.
This can be tested using the 'Experimental' preferences section
or selected in the key-map editor.
This commit is a full refactor of the grease pencil modules including Draw Engine, Modifiers, VFX, depsgraph update, improvements in operators and conversion of Sculpt and Weight paint tools to real brushes.
Also, a huge code cleanup has been done at all levels.
Thanks to @fclem for his work and yo @pepeland and @mendio for the testing and help in the development.

Adds a `text` parameter to `bpy.types.uiLayout.template_ID()` which
causes a label to be added, as usual. Adding the label also makes the
template respect the `bpy.types.uiLayout.use_property_split` option.
Also fixes wrong layout being used in the template-ID, although I think
that didn't cause issues in practice.
Sergey requested this for usage in the Movie Clip Editor.
Custom profiles in bevel allows the profile curve to be controlled by
manually placed control points. Orientation is regularized along
groups of edges, and the 'pipe case' is updated. This commit includes
many updates to comments and changed variable names as well.
A 'cutoff' vertex mesh method is added to bevel in addition to the
existing grid fill option for replacing vertices.
The UI of the bevel modifier and tool are updated and unified.
Also, a 'CurveProfile' widget is added to BKE for defining the profile
in the interface, which may be useful in other situations.
Many thanks to Howard, my mentor for this GSoC project.

This is useful for drawing keymap items into the header or status bar
While these icons are available directly,
mapping them from the keymap item isn't trivial.
Adds back auto-completion and auto-creation (inserting a non-existing
file-path would create it) for the file path button. The second feature
was left out knowingly, but seems there are reasonable use cases for it.
We can't add these features to the button in the Python script, we have
to call into C. So using a template to do that.
Note that this is based on the old file browser code, I've copied over
the TODO comment.
Previously, if a boolean happened to use an icon there was no way
to make it display as a check-box from Python scripts.
The previous logic meant we ended up having to edit the RNA.
Since booleans with icons don't work well with the split-property layout
(now used for most of the interface).
Icons were being removed from RNA then added back using awkward Python
ternary expressions in the interface scripts.
The toggle argument now has an unset state (-1).
- toggle=True: no checkbox (emboss).
- toggle=False: always use a checkbox (no icon).
- toggle=(unset/-1): depends on the icon status, default as before.
Since toggle=False was default, this isn't used in existing UI logic.
The outliner should not be the only way for users to change these settings.
The Python API was extended to keep these properties positive and keyframable.

A version for menu's is going to be added next and we already have
UILayout.prop_menu_enum.
This name indicates the popover is added behavior instead of a
different kind of widget.
Support for RNA enum buttons that activate popovers when clicked.
This means we get useful tooltips, shortcuts and Ctrl-Wheel cycling
over enum items.
It also avoids inconvenient & slow access of enum values currently done
via RNA type lookups on the type to get the name & icon to use for a
regular popover button.

Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.

Too many things done wrong in original rBd12b3767f81d to list them all
here, hopefully nothing bad sneaked in again this time :|
Also cleaned up a little the 'sort by name', even though (since we only
have two options by default, sort by index and by name) we can abuse it
as a binary option for now, this is not a bitflag...
When use the template in the topbar for only select an ID is very annoying to have the buttons after the name and only adds noise to the selector.
This option hide the number of users, new and delete buttons to get a cleaner topbar selector.
By default the parameter is disabled in order to keep all existing code/UI running.
Now, it was possible to invert the order of the UIlist using the filter, but it was impossible to know if the list was inverted or not.
The problem with this is that any other element depending of this value could not be adjusted.
See https://devtalk.blender.org/t/how-to-access-uilist-properties/2268
The new parameter allows to set the reverse order by default. When the list is set as reverse, it cannot be inverted again, so the invert button is removed of the filter.
This change is needed to fix a requested feature for Grease Pencil (T56985) and because a lot of 2D softwares use the drawing layers in the inverse order used in Blender.
For now we have categories collection, object, object data, modifiers &
constraints, and shading. The icons can be categorized by adding e.g.
DEF_ICON_OBJECT() in UI_icons.h.
Light themes will need to be updated to use darker colors to keep icons
visible in the outliner.
The first time setup screen only has the interaction preset currently, some
more work is needed to be able to set e.g. the language or compute device
here as in the mockups.
The splash screen stayed the same for now, to make room for the templates
most of the links are now in the Help menu. If there are no recent files yet
the links still show.
The splash screen buttons implementation was fully moved to Python, in the
WM_MT_splash menu.
The goal here is to make app templates usable for default templates
that we can ship with Blender. These only have a custom startup.blend
currently and so are quite limited compared to app templates that fully
customize Blender.
But still it seems like the same kind of concept where we should be
sharing the code and UI. It is useful to be able to save a startup.blend
per template, and I can imagine some scripting being useful in the future
as well.
Changes made:
* File > New and Ctrl+N now list the templates, replacing a separate
Application Templates menu that was not as easy to discover.
* File menu now shows name of active template above Save Startup File
and Load Factory Settings to indicate these are saved/loaded per
template.
* The "Default" template was renamed to "General".
* Workspaces can now be added from any of the template startup.blend
files when clicking the (+) button in the topbar.
* User preferences are now fully shared between app templates, unless
the template includes a custom userpref.blend. I think this will be
useful in general, not all app templates need their own keymaps for
example.
* Previously Save User Preferences would save the current app template
and then Blender would start using that template by default. I've
disabled this, to me it seems it was unintentional, or at least not
clear at all that saving user preferences also makes the current

Film-like curves for the RGB Curve node (Compositor) and Curve Modifier
(Sequencer)
Film-like curves originated from Adobe.
"It’s an RGB curve where the tone curve is applied on the largest and smallest value, and then the middle value is adapted to keep a constant hue as defined by RGB-HSL/HSV. In terms of look and saturation increase it’s very similar to a pure RGB curve, more so than a HSL-L curve or HSV-V curve, but some color shift problems are avoided."
Other tools like Natron, Krita and RawTherapee have implemented this curve tone.
