The current `ICON_SMALL_TRI_RIGHT_VEC` uses dark hard-coded colors ([`0.2`, `0.2`, `0.2`])
which makes it impossible to theme and hard to see in dark contexts.
Use `ICON_RIGHTARROW` to match the Outliner's breadcrumbs. This icon uses `TH_TEXT` so it's visible as long as the rest of the text is.

This caused e.g. ALT-clicking the 'Link' button to not propagate to
other selected objects (same as the 'Copy To Selected' context menu
entry).
If these are not unique across IDs, checks in ui_selectcontext_begin()
or copy_to_selected_button() could fail.
Now offset by ID pointer.

This adds a viewer node similar to the one in the compositor.
The icon in the headers of nodes is removed because it served
the same purpose and is not necessary anymore.
Node outputs can be connected to the active viewer using
ctrl+shift+LMB, just like in the compositor. Right now this collides
with the shortcut used in the node wrangler addon, which will
be changed separately.
As of now, the viewed geometry is only visible in the spreadsheet.
Viewport visualization will be added separately.
There are a couple of benefits of using a viewer node compared
to the old approach with the icon in the node header:
* Better support for nodes that have more than one geometry output.
* It's more consistent with the compositor.
* If attributes become decoupled from geometry in the future,
the viewer can have a separate input for the attribute to visualize.
* The viewer node could potentially have visualization settings.
* Allows to keep "visualization points" around by having multiple
viewer nodes.
* Less visual clutter in node headers.

There is a new Texture data-block socket that we can use in Geometry
Nodes now. This commit replaces the texture property of a node and
gives it a texture input socket instead. That increases flexibility.
The texture socket still has some limitations that will be lifted in the
next couple of days (e.g. it's not supported by the switch node and
cannot be exposed the a modifier yet).

The trouble was that there was a context pointer "modifier" in the
property editor context that returned the active modifier. But the
"modifier" variable was already used in many places, for pointers
that are *not* equivalent to the active modifier.
The context pointer for the active modifier was unecessary anyway.
If we need to access a context pointer for the active modifier in the
property editor then we can add it. Until then it only adds confusion.
This adds the LineArt grease pencil modifier.
It takes objects or collections as input and generates various grease
pencil lines from these objects with the help of the active scene
camera. For example it can generate contour lines, intersection lines
and crease lines to name a few.
This is really useful as artists can then use 3D meshes to automatically
generate grease pencil lines for characters, enviroments or other
visualization purposes.
These lines can then be baked and edited as regular grease pencil lines.

This enables the quick access button [to show the relevant Texture in
the Properties Editor] for textures used in geometry nodes.
This goes in line to what we do for other textures:
- modifier textures have this button
- particle textures have this button
- brush textures will soon have it, too (see D9813)
When outside of the Properties Editor, the button will always show (if a
texture is actually assigned), but will be inactive if no suiting
Properties Editor to show the texture in can be found.
Note this also changes the behavior to not show the button if _no_
texture is assigned (as in: we are still showing the "New" button).
Previously it was always there (e.g. for modifier textures), even if it
would take us to an empty texture tab. (Sure, we could add a texture
there then, but imho it makes more sense to just start showing it once a
texture is already there)
For this to work with geometry nodes, the following chages were done:
- implement foreachTexLink for geonode modifiers
- new buttons_texture_user_node_property_add() that stores prop as well
as node
- also use NODE_ACTIVE_TEXTURE flag in geometry nodetrees
notes:
- this still uses the first suiting (as in: pinning does not interfere)
Properties Editor it finds, this should (maybe?) find the _closest_
Property Editor instead (see related feedback in D9813).
- this will already show the button for brush textures as well
(disabled), but there is another mandatory change in an upcomming commit
to make it work there as well (see D9813)

Updates the descriptions and labels for outliner sync in the properties
editor popover to be more clear.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D10010
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`

This adds a popover to the properties editor. Currently the only setting
is for controlling outliner to properties syncing.
Because we cannot define a perfect heuristic to determine when
properties editors should change tabs based on outliner icon selection,
we need an option to enable or disable this behavior per properties
editor.
There are 3 options for controlling the syncing. Auto uses the heuristic
to only allow tab switching when a properties editor and outliner share
a border. On and off enable and disable syncing respectively.

This was reported for duplicating particle systems, then using F9 to
enable the 'Duplicate Settings' option (see T83317).
In this case, the operator gets the particle_system from (buttons)
context and if none can get found will duplicate all settings instead.
The reason why none gets found here is that buttons_context() doesnt
have a valid path when called from F9/SCREEN_OT_redo_last, path is
cleared when global undo does a file-read which clears the path (see
lib_link_workspace_layout_restore). It can be recomputed though to be
valid even from redo_last (at least when in the Properties Editor).
This was likely causing other operators (relying on buttons context)
from the Properties Editor to fail as well.

One of the core design aspects of the Asset Browser is that users can "mount"
custom asset libraries via the Preferences. Currently an asset library is just
a directory with one or more .blend files in it. We could easily support a
single .blend file as asset library as well (rather than a directory). It's
just disabled currently.
Note that in earlier designs, asset libraries were called repositories.
Idea is simple: In Preferences > File Paths, you can create custom libraries,
by setting a name and selecting a path. The name is ensured to be unique. If
the name or path are empty, the Asset Browser will not show it in the list of
available asset libraries.
The library path is not checked for validity, the Asset Browser will allow
selecting invalid libraries, but show a message instead of the file list, to
help the user understand what's going on.
Of course the actual Asset Browser UI is not part of this commit, it's in one
of the following ones.

The geometry-nodes features no longer depend on the point cloud object.
Therefore the point cloud object, although important in the future, can
be postponed until we have render and edit mode fully working.
This reverts commits:
* ea74ed5a7a.
* dc614c68ef.
This commit adds functions to set and get the object's active
modifier, which is stored as a flag in the ModifierData struct,
similar to constraints. This will be used to set the context in
the node editor. There are no visible changes in this commit.
Similar to how the node editor context works for materials, this commit
makes the node group displayed in the node editor depend on the active
object and its active modifier. To keep the node group from changing,
just pin the node group in the header.
* Shortcuts performed while there is an active modifier will affect
only that modifier (the exception is the A to expand the modifiers).
* Clicking anywhere on the empty space in a modifier's panel will make it active.
These changes require some refactoring of object modifier code. First
is splitting up the modifier property invoke callback, which now needs
to be able to get the active modifier separately from the hovered
modifier for the different operators.
Second is a change to removing modifiers, where there is now a separate
function to remove a modifier from an object's list, in order to handle
changing the active.
Finally, the panel handler needs a small tweak so that this "click in panel"
event can be handled afterwards.
After recent changes to the context panel layout (rB187cc5e26d28b1a8),
there has been an error printed when running propery search:
> Error: separator_spacer() not supported in popups.
The layout code thinks it's drawing in a menu because region->visible
isn't properly set for the other tab searches. This patch sets that field
for the temporary searching region, but it also disables searching in the
context breadcrumbs panel, because at best this will just give results
for the names of the active object, etc. This isn't helpful since
those labels are mostly in every tab anyway.

The overlap with the `Panel` flags that start with "PNL" was quite
confusing because wasn't clear which enum a flag was from. The
new names are a bit longer, but the clarity is worth it.
`WM_operator_properties_filesel()` allows C operators to set a display or sort
type for the File Browser to use. But the File Browser would always override
that because of an invalid `_is_set()` check. (The operators don't actually set
the value, they only set the property's default value.)
The only operator affected by this is "Recover Auto Save". It is supposed to
show a vertical list ordered chronologically. It used settings from the
previous File Browser usage before this patch.
Operators using the File Browser should generally use
`FILE_DEFAULTDISPLAY`/`FILE_SORT_DEFAULT` now, except if they have a reason not
to. See comments at their definition.
----
This makes it so operators that set a different display or sort type
don't change the sort or display type for the next File Browser operation.
So using "Recover Auto Save" entirely isolates display and sort type from other
operations.

The pin button should be next to the data-path, which is what it belongs to.
Note that this makes the placement of the search button in the header look
quite off. That is because it's centered to the absolute header width, not the
width of the main region (which is smaller because of the tab region on the
left).
Technically it's correct that way, visually it looks wrong. This will be
addressed in a followup commit.
Those two features are not directly related and one might be activated
in master earlier than the other.
WITH_PARTICLE_NODES was removed, because we continue the project
under the name "Geometry Nodes".
Previously I used `CTX_copy` to create a mutable copy of the context in
order to set its area and region fields to temporary variables. This was
a tradeoff to avoid casting away `const` for `bContext`.
However, `bpy.context` is set to this new temporary value, which is fine
for a single `wm_draw_update` pass, but in the next main loop,
`bpy.context` is still set to this value, which was freed at the
end of `property_search_all_tabs`. It would be possible to reset the
`bpy.context` variable ath the end of the function, but this patch
contains an alternate solution: just don't copy the context. It looks
like this was the only use of `CTX_copy` anyway, maybe for good reason.

When there is no active texture, a NULL pointer was dereferenced.
It didn't crash because the dereference was for the first item at the
pointer, the ID. To fix this, return with no data when `texture is NULL.
This patch enables property search for all tabs in the property editor.
To make interaction faster, if the editor's current tab doesn't have a
result, the current tab changes to the next tab that has a match.
This patch implements basic code that only searches panels.
While we could run the existing "single tab" property search for every
tab, that would also do everything else related to the layout pass,
which would be less efficient, and maybe more complicated to maintain.
The search match status for every current tab of the property editor is
stored in a runtime bitfield and them displayed later by dimming icons
in the tab selector panel to the left. Using `BLI_bitmap` properly in
the runtime struct required moving it to `buttons_intern.h` and
adding a small API to access the search filter instead.
To make sure the editor isn't influenced by anything that happens while
building the layout for other tabs, most of the context is duplicated
and the new search is run in the duplicated editor.
Note that the tool settings tab works slightly different than the other
tabs, so I've disabled searching it for this commit. That would be a
relatively simple improvement, but would just require a bit of
refactoring of existing code.
