When opening a Blender version for which there are no preferences, the splash
shows a button like "Load 2.92 Settings". Using this could cause a memory leak
of the storage for recently opened files.
The "quick setup" dialog is actually a 'menu', and the "splash screen" block
contains the UI_BLOCK_LOOP flag which causes the buttons' text to align
to the left, however, usually regular buttons have centered text.
As a workaround, add the UI_BLOCK_QUICK_SETUP flag which prevents
the text from being left-aligned.

When dropping an asset somewhere, it is appended and then a drop operation is
called to actually add it to the scene based on current context. If this drop
operation fails, the appended data-block is now still in the .blend. The user
may not notice and not expect this.
Instead idea is to rollback any changes done by dropping code if the operation
fails, namely removing the appended data-block again.
Adds a new `cancel()` callback which is called if the drop operator returns
`OPERATOR_CANCELLED` to drop-boxes and a generic function to deal with assets
on drop failure.
Also removes the `free_id_on_error` property of the `NODE_OT_add_group`
operator, which was used as ad-hoc solution to get this same behavior.
Reloading preferences didn't update Python's `sys.path` to account
for the modified `script_directory`.
This meant the operator to load settings from a previous version
required a restart to initialize Python when this directory was set.
Adds a new property called "Confirm On Release" that does what it says,
confirm the action without having to do left-click or to press any other
extra-key which concludes in a more dynamic and efficient way of changing
brush size or strength for example, especially for tablet users.

Above commit restored the view matrices in ED_view3d_draw_offscreen
_before_ they can be stored in the ImBuff (see ED_view3d_draw_offscreen
/ texture_paint_image_from_view_exec).
Now make restoring the view matrices optional and dont do this in case
of reprojection, so the used matrices can still be saved in the ImBuff
later.

Activating buttons was running too early, before the popup was
positioned on the screen,
causing data-selectors to be positioned incorrectly.
As the early button activation isn't needed, remove this call.
Ensure this doesn't happen again with an assert.
In two cases the percentage property was actually used incorrectly, as
pointed out in T82070. The range was [0, 1], but the properties were still
displayed as percentages.
There is a preference to control whether to display factors or
percentages, so it usually doesn't make sense to manually define
properties as percentages.

Support recovering blend files with scripts enabled,
needed to fix T85011, can be useful in general too.
Adding this also resolves an assert in BKE_autoexec_match,
since it ran even when scripts were enabled.
- Return success from WM_recover_last_session
- Avoid setting global variables is already called in WM_file_read.
While it didn't cause any problems, these assignments ran even when
recovering the session failed to load the file.
- Return OPERATOR_CANCELLED when the operator fails.
Returning success is needed to fix T85011.
If the poll check of the operator fails, the operator won't run. We can check
that in advance to hide the drop hint if dropping will fail anyway.
This improves feedback during dragging.
For assets, the copy callback of the drop-box would append the asset
data-block. Check if the operator's poll succeeds before calling the copy
callback.
Otherwise the data-block is "secretly" appended, which the user doesn't expect
and won't notice without checking the file data in the Outliner.
For masks I had to extend the poll function, it didn't check context
sufficiently.
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.
These functions with many arguments can be unwieldy. Aside from the obvious issues
with rewriting the list of arguments and the opportunities for error and frustration
that presents, the long list of arguments make these systems hard to change. So when
an argument should be added, someone might skip that and add some hack instead.
So, as proposed in T73586#1037210, this patch instead uses a "params" struct for
each of these callbacks.
- Use param argument for `ARegionType.listener`
- Remove unused window field in region listener
- Use param argument for `SpaceType.listener`
- Use params struct for `ARegionType.message_subscribe`

Partially reverts 2250b5cefe.
Removing the user count and fake user count icons was controversial (which was
expected) and there are a few further changes needed, that won't make it in
time for the release, see D9946.
While there is a design to bring back the user count and fake user indicators,
a new design idea was proposed that the UI team wants to follow. This came too
late for the 2.92 release, the new design is targeted at the 2.93 release now.
Meanwhile, UI team decision was to simply revert the design changes.
The new design is being worked on in https://developer.blender.org/T84669.
Note that this commit does not revert some internal changes done in
2250b5cefe. Namely the introduction of `ed_util_ops.c` and data-block
operators in there. These will still be needed in the new design.
There should be a conversion to native pixel size as expected by GHOST at the
window manager level, the dimensions at screen level do not need a conversion.

- Remove ternary operators when both values are the same.
- Remove break after return.
- Remove redundant NULL checks for code which handles
those cases immediately beforehand.
* This way you don't have to look up the function declaration to know what the
boolean value means.
* You can call the function in a loop over the available sizes and pass the
index as size.
* Makes it easier to add a new size in future if needed.
Steps to reproduce were:
* Start with factory defaults
* Set "Render in" to "Maximized Area"
* Render
* Open "Save as"
* Click Cancel
Mistake in 78d2ce19c4. Was using the wrong area pointer, which I think
didn't make a difference in most cases, but here it did.
Approximately 138 changes in the spelling of compound words
and proper names like "Light Probe", "Shrink/Fatten", "Face Map".
In many cases, hyphens were used where they aren't correct, like
"re-fit". Other common changes include:
- "Datablock" -> "data-block"
- "Floating point" -> "floating-point"
- "Ngons" -> "n-gons"
These changes help give the language used in the interface
a consistent, more professional feel.

After 1e799dd26e, the logic to recognize a temporary File Browser window
didn't work correctly anymore. It would recognize a maximized File Browser
inside a temporary window as a temporary File Browser window, and attempt to
close this (rather than returning to the previous layout).
The logic there was pretty weak, and still is I think. A more stable solution
would need bigger refactoring.
With this, it's also not possible to maximize or fullscreen an area within a
temporary window (Preferences, File Browser, render window) anymore. Think that
won't make a noticable difference, since you couldn't open multiple areas there
anyway, and the area seems to be maximized already.
Cleaned up the code a bit to not become more confusing with the changes.
Don't add the same stats refresh notifiers multiple times, it can be slow to
search the full list of notifiers for duplicates when there are many.
Fundamentally the time complexity in searching for duplicates is still bad.
Inspired by D9901 from Erik Abrahamsson
The previous design is rather old and has a couple of problems:
* Scalability: The current solution of adding little icon buttons next to the
data-block name field doesn't scale well. It only works if there's a small
number of operations. We need to be able to place more items there for better
data-block management. Especially with the introduction of library overrides.
* Discoverability: It's not obvious what some of the icons do. They appear and
disappear, but it's not obvious why some are available at times and others
not.
* Unclear Status: Currently their library status (linked, indirectly linked,
broken link, library override) isn't really clear.
* Unusual behavior: Some of the icon buttons allow Shift or Ctrl clicking to
invoke alternative behaviors. This is not a usual pattern in Blender.
This patch does the following changes:
* Adds a menu to the right of the name button to access all kinds of operations
(create, delete, unlink, user management, library overrides, etc).
* Make good use of the "disabled hint" for tooltips, to explain why buttons are
disabled. The UI team wants to establish this as a good practise.
* Use superimposed icons for duplicate and unlink, rather than extra buttons
(uses less space, looks less distracting and is a nice + consistent design
language).
* Remove fake user and user count button, they are available from the menu now.
* Support tooltips for superimposed icons (committed mouse hover feedback to
master already).
* Slightly increase size of the name button - it was already a bit small
before, and the move from real buttons to superimposed icons reduces usable
space for the name itself.
* More clearly differentiate between duplicate and creating a new data-block.
The latter is only available in the menu.
* Display library status icon on the left (linked, missing library, overridden,
asset)
* Disables "Make Single User" button - in review we weren't sure if there are
good use-cases for it, so better to see if we can remove it.
Note that I do expect some aspects of this design to change still. I think some
changes are problematic, but others disagreed. I will open a feedback thread on
devtalk to see what others think.
