Removes two unused --debug-gpu command line flags (unused as in, does nothing):
* `--debug-gpumem`: Unused since c08d847488, the info is now available in
the status-bar if enabled in the Preferences. Initially added in
fec317de8d.
* `--debug-gpu-shaders`: Unused since 216d78687d, double checked with
Clément, he says it's not that useful nowadays. Initially added in
fec317de8d.
Addresses T83954 and T83953.

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.

This was added when Linux's audio support
often needed to be manually configured.
Further 3rd party libraries have their own environment variables & docs
these need not be part of Blender's help message unless they're likely
to be needed to properly run Blender.
Avoid passing the pass argument to BLI_argsAdd, instead set this
once for each group of passes.
This means we can add new passes without having to bump the arguments
to BLI_argsAdd.
Sub-systems that use directories from BKE_appdir needed to be
initialized after parsing '--env-system-datafiles'.
This meant the animation player needed to call IMB_init it's self.
Avoid this complication by having a pass that can be used to setup
the environment before Blender's resources are accessed.
This reverts the workaround from 9ea345d1cf
This adds a new `--debug-exit-on-error` flag. When it is set, Blender
will abort with a non-zero exit code when there are internal errors.
Currently, "internal errors" includes memory leaks detected by
guardedalloc and error/fatal log entries in clog.
The new flag is passed to Blender in various places where automated
tests are run. Furthermore, the `--debug-memory` flag is used in tests,
because that makes the verbose output more useful, when dealing
with memory leaks.

This commit renames 'execute' to 'run' because:
- This follows Python's "PyRun" which these functions wrap.
- Execution functions can use either exec/eval modes,
making naming awkward (for future API refactoring).
Will trigger code paths which makes sure UUIDs are generated and
are unique.
Enabled with --debug-depsgraph-uuid (which is also implied by
--debug-depsgraph).
This is no longer used by default, when '--python-use-system-env' is set
there are many Python environment variables, don't list them in
Blender's help message.
The file subversion is no longer used in the Python API or user interface,
and is now internal to Blender.
User interface, Python API and file I/O metadata now use more consistent
formatting for version numbers. Official releases use "2.83.0", "2.83.1",
and releases under development use "2.90.0 Alpha", "2.90.0 Beta".
Some Python add-ons may need to lower the Blender version in bl_info to
(2, 83, 0) or (2, 90, 0) if they used a subversion number higher than 0.

This change is in preparation of LTS releases, and also brings us more
in line with semantic versioning.
Fixes T76058.

Previously this would be enabled when threads were used, but threads are now
basically always in use so there is no point. Further, this is only needed for
guarded allocation with --debug-memory which is not performance critical.
This goes along with the existing changes to ignore PYTHONPATH by default.
--python-use-system-env now controls both.

NOTE: While most of the milestone 1 goals are there, a few smaller features and
improvements are still to be done.
Big picture of this milestone: Initial, OpenXR-based virtual reality support
for users and foundation for advanced use cases.
Maniphest Task: https://developer.blender.org/T71347
The tasks contains more information about this milestone.
To be clear: This is not a feature rich VR implementation, it's focused on the
initial scene inspection use case. We intentionally focused on that, further
features like controller support are part of the next milestone.
- How to use?
Instructions on how to use this are here:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Severin/GSoC-2019/How_to_Test
These will be updated and moved to a more official place (likely the manual) soon.
Currently Windows Mixed Reality and Oculus devices are usable. Valve/HTC
headsets don't support the OpenXR standard yet and hence, do not work with this
implementation.
---------------
This is the C-side implementation of the features added for initial VR
support as per milestone 1. A "VR Scene Inspection" Add-on will be
committed separately, to expose the VR functionality in the UI. It also
adds some further features for milestone 1, namely a landmarking system
(stored view locations in the VR space)
Main additions/features:
* Support for rendering viewports to an HMD, with good performance.
* Option to sync the VR view perspective with a fully interactive,
regular 3D View (VR-Mirror).
* Option to disable positional tracking. Keeps the current position (calculated
based on the VR eye center pose) when enabled while a VR session is running.
* Some regular viewport settings for the VR view
* RNA/Python-API to query and set VR session state information.
* WM-XR: Layer tying Ghost-XR to the Blender specific APIs/data
* wmSurface API: drawable, non-window container (manages Ghost-OpenGL and GPU
context)
* DNA/RNA for management of VR session settings
* `--debug-xr` and `--debug-xr-time` commandline options
* Utility batch & config file for using the Oculus runtime on Windows.
* Most VR data is runtime only. The exception is user settings which are saved
to files (`XrSessionSettings`).
* VR support can be disabled through the `WITH_XR_OPENXR` compiler flag.

A few thank you's:
* A huge shoutout to Ray Molenkamp for his help during the project - it would
have not been that successful without him!
* Sebastian Koenig and Simeon Conzendorf for testing and feedback!
* The reviewers, especially Brecht Van Lommel!
* Dalai Felinto for pushing and managing me to get this done ;)
* The OpenXR working group for providing an open standard. I think we're the
first bigger application to adopt OpenXR. Congratulations to them and
ourselves :)
This project started as a Google Summer of Code 2019 project - "Core Support of
Virtual Reality Headsets through OpenXR" (see

This avoids the problem where Blender doesn't start because
the PYTHONPATH points to an incompatible Python version,
see T72807.
Previously we chose to assume people who set the PYTHONPATH know what
they're doing, however users may have set this for non Blender projects.
So it's not obvious that this is the cause of Blender not to launch
on their system.
To use Python's environment vars, pass the argument:
--python-use-system-env
Note that this only impacts Python run-time environment variables
documented in `python --help`, Access from `os.environ` remains.
This commit adds a new command line argument --debug-ghost and
makes it so X11 errors happening during context initialization
are only printed when this new flag is sued.
There is no need to flood users with errors when their GPU is
not supporting latest OpenGL version. Or, at a very minimum,
the error must be more meaning full.

This is minimal 'flip-switch' commit, proper cleanup and removal of the
option thing will happen later, once we are sure that we can release
2.81 with it enabled.
For now, we have a `--disable-library-override` now. ;)
