The activation of the text button is a bit special, since it happens during
drawing, the layout isn't computed yet then. Comparable cases where the button
is added on top don't use the layout system, so this didn't become an issue
until now. Trigger a delayed call to `UI_but_ensure_in_view()`.
This patch adds the breakdown (or tween) functionality to the graph editor.

These were part of the older buttons API that shouldn't be used in
more places at this point. Most layouts should be built with the regular
layout system API and RNA properties. This sort of button can still be
created though, since these were just shortcuts anyway.
This adds interface panels to organize the Cache File UI parameters for
modifiers and constraints into related components: velocity, time, and
render procedural.
Properties relating to the three aforementioned components are separated
from `uiTemplateCacheFile` into their own functions (e.g.
`uiTemplateCacheFileVelocity` for the velocity one), which are in turn
called from the specific panel creation routines of the modifiers and
constraints (for constraints, the functions are exposed to the RNA).
`uiTemplateCacheFile` now only shows the properties for the file path,
and in the case of constraints, the scale property.
The properties that are only defined per modifier (like the velocity
scale), are shown in the proper modifier layout panel if applicable.

Goals of this refactor:
* More unified approach to updating everything that needs to be updated
after a change in a node tree.
* The updates should happen in the correct order and quadratic or worse
algorithms should be avoided.
* Improve detection of changes to the output to avoid tagging the depsgraph
when it's not necessary.
* Move towards a more declarative style of defining nodes by having a
more centralized update procedure.
The refactor consists of two main parts:
* Node tree tagging and update refactor.
* Generally, when changes are done to a node tree, it is tagged dirty
until a global update function is called that updates everything in
the correct order.
* The tagging is more fine-grained compared to before, to allow for more
precise depsgraph update tagging.
* Depsgraph changes.
* The shading specific depsgraph node for node trees as been removed.
* Instead, there is a new `NTREE_OUTPUT` depsgrap node, which is only
tagged when the output of the node tree changed (e.g. the Group Output
or Material Output node).
* The copy-on-write relation from node trees to the data block they are
embedded in is now non-flushing. This avoids e.g. triggering a material
update after the shader node tree changed in unrelated ways. Instead
the material has a flushing relation to the new `NTREE_OUTPUT` node now.
* The depsgraph no longer reports data block changes through to cycles
through `Depsgraph.updates` when only the node tree changed in ways
that do not affect the output.
Avoiding unnecessary updates seems to work well for geometry nodes and cycles.
The situation is a bit worse when there are drivers on the node tree, but that
could potentially be improved separately in the future.
Avoiding updates in eevee and the compositor is more tricky, but also less urgent.
* Eevee updates are triggered by calling `DRW_notify_view_update` in
`ED_render_view3d_update` indirectly from `DEG_editors_update`.
* Compositor updates are triggered by `ED_node_composite_job` in `node_area_refresh`.
This is triggered by calling `ED_area_tag_refresh` in `node_area_listener`.
Removing updates always has the risk of breaking some dependency that no
one was aware of. It's not unlikely that this will happen here as well. Adding
back missing updates should be quite a bit easier than getting rid of
unnecessary updates though.

* Reorder functions and classes to be more logical and readable.
* Add helper class for the public item API so individual functions it

Also allows splitting API implementation from the C-API.
* Move internal layout builder helper class to the source file, out of

This corrects some alignments issues through new margins introduced in
93544b641b. Basic idea of this fix is to only add the new margins when

Assigning a catalog to an asset via drag-and-drop in the asset browser

Some operations, e.g. adding a new action strip to NLA, require
knowing the active frame range of an action. However, currently it
can only be deduced by scanning the keyframes of the curves within
it. This is not ideal if e.g. curves are staggered for overlap.
As suggested by Nathan Vegdahl in comments to T54724, this patch adds
Action properties that allow manually specifying its active frame range.
The settings are exposed via a panel in the Dopesheet and Action Editor.
When enabled, the range is highlighted in the background using a striped
fill to distinguish it from the solid filled regular playback range.
When set, the frame range is used when adding or updating NLA tracks,
and by add-ons using `Action.frame_range`, e.g. FBX exporter.

Add a new 'selected_visible_actions' property to allow querying
actions that are selected in animation related editors for use in
UI and operators. The 'selected_editable_actions' variant excludes
linked actions (the only reason an action can be read-only).
In the Action and Shape Key editors there is only one action
that is specified by the field at the top of the editor.
In Dope Sheet it scans the channel rows and returns all actions
related to the selected items. This includes summary items for
actions and groups.
In Graph Editor, it lists actions associated with selected curves.
The new property is also used for Copy To Selected and Alt-Click.

Basically, this fixes disappearing previews when editing asset metadata
or performing undo/redo actions.
The preview generation in a background job will eventually modify ID
data, but the undo push was done prior to that. So obviously, an undo
then would mean the preview is lost.
This patch makes it so undo/redo will regenerate the preview, if the preview
rendering was invoked but not finished in the undone/redone state.
The preview flag PRV_UNFINISHED wasn't entirely what we needed. So I had to
change it to a slightly different flag, with different semantics.

Asset library indexing would store indexes of asset files to speed up
asset library browsing.
* Indexes are read when they are up to date
** Index should exist
** Index last modify data should be later than the file it indexes
** Index version should match
* The index of a file containing no assets can be load without opening
the index file. The size of the file should be below a 32 bytes.
* Indexes are stored on a persistent cache folder.
* Unused index files are automatically removed.
The structure of the index files contains all data needed for browsing assets:
```

"version": <file version number>,
"entries": [{
"name": "<asset name>",
"catalog_id": "<catalog_id>",
"catalog_name": "<catalog_name>",

Alternative to D13291 (description partially copied from there).
New drag & drop reordering code would call constraints reordering
operator with the generic context, and not the one from the panel's
layout. missing the "constraint" member which is mandatory for poll
function to properly deal with override vs. local constraints.
For this to work in a decent way, there needs to be some panel-wide
context that we can restore when executing callbacks outside of the
normal draw context. So similar to uiLayoutSetContextPointer() to set
context on a layout level, this introduces
UI_panel_context_pointer_set() for panel level context (this calls the
former for the current panel root layout as well).

The Blender icon must not be used to refer to anything that is not
Blender itself. Using the Blender icon on its own to refer to .blend
files or the currently open file is a no-go, which was brought up by
Ton.
This does the following changes to the icon file:
* Add new "Current File" icon
* Change the .blend file icon to contain a file icon with the Blender
logo, but not merely the Blender logo.
* Change the backup .blend file icon accordingly.
The new "Current File" icon is used in the Asset Browser, but
could/should be used in the Outliner as well. That needs more design
discussion though.
Add an operator "Copy to Asset Library" for installing asset bundles
into already-existing asset libraries.
The operator is shown when:
- the "Current File" library is selected,
- the blend file name matches `*_bundle.blend`, and
- the file is not already located in an asset library.
The user can select a target asset library, then gets a "Save As"
dialogue box to select where in that library the file should be saved.
This allows for renaming, saving in a subdirectory, etc.
The Asset Catalogs from the asset bundle are merged into the target
asset library.
The operator will refuse to run when external files are referenced. This
is not done in its poll function, as it's quite an extensive operator
(it loops over all ID datablocks).
