This reverts commit 357b72e0a7 which caused
the issue, we need a better fix for that cosmetic issue from T50862. For
now displaying keyframes and drivers is the more important one.
block and layout could be NULL and checking this everywhere
wasn't practical.
Instead of lazy initializing, add UI_popup_menu_end_or_cancel
which cancels empty popup menus.
This support layout.separator_spacer() to be used by headers as a way to
dynamically separate the ui buttons.
Right now no UI file is changed, though we can use this right away in the
timeline, and shortly after in the viewport header (moving settings from
the topbar to it).

This commit implements a new behaviour for the "Add Driver" functionality
(invoked from the RMB menu on a property, or by pressing Ctrl-D).
Instead of spawning a context menu asking you to pick the way
you want to create a driver, it will now just create a driver on the
property under the mouse and then show the "Edit Drivers" popover so
that you can immediately start editing the properties of this driver.
This way, the whole process is more visual and feels less blocking /
constrained, with less upfront decisions needed immediately.
Notes:
* The new behaviour is equivalent to choosing the "Manually Create (Single)"
and then doing a "Edit Driver" on the property
* Renamed the old "ANIM_OT_driver_button_add" operator to
"ANIM_OT_driver_button_add_menu". It will probably go away
in the near future, but it's better to keep it around for a
while longer still until the new workflow settles down.
This commit adds a new menu entry - "Edit Driver" - the RMB menu that
will show a popover panel displaying the settings for the driver you
activated the menu item on. This shows the popover panel defined in
yesterday's commit (GRAPH_PT_drivers_popover).
It is possible to edit the driver settings from this panel now.
However, do be warned that the functionality presented is highly
WIP still. There are some unresolved issues, such as:
- The popover disappears too easily on any mouse movements/clicks
on anything, making the panel less useful right now than it should.
- The layout still needs refining. Currently the layout that's there
is a bit of a placeholder until we can play around with it a bit
more to see/feel what feels good/right or what is too much.
- The "Open Drivers Editor" on the bottom of the panel doesn't work.
There are some tricky context tricky things that need to happen here
to make that case work, since the operator button won't have the necessary
context info.

Otherwise, it's not clear where things are coming from.
FIXME: The icons for datablocks may not always be correct. It uses the
innermost struct's icon instead of the datablock's icon - e.g. Bone
vs Object/Armature. But, that may make more sense for users?
This commit adds an operator, "Show Drivers Editor", to the RMB menu when
clicking on properties.
As per T54653, this will open a new Graph Editor instance in a new/separate
window (much like how the User Preferences show up in a popup window now),
and will configure all the relevant panels so that you can see and edit the
driver settings immediately without doing a lot of the view configuration steps
that were previously needed.
When doing so on a property that is driven, the driver/fcurve for that property
will be made active in the editor, ready for you to start editing its settings
without having to hunt it down again first.
Experimental support for using popovers like menus,
use this when the user hold the mouse down
(previously this did nothing).
This means turning frequently accessed menu items into
popovers doesn't add more clicks to the existing use case.
This avoids having to store the tool definition in the operator
properties (on redraw).
Now just set the name, note this means we can't show the keymap in the
tool-tip anymore. This will eventually be shown in the status bar.
