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.

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`

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.
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.

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.

Because the active context is stored as a short in DNA it's better
to use short in the code surrounding it. Also adjusted a comment
that reflected an incorrect assumption.
`ctrl-F` to start the search is obviously necessary, but the clear
operator, `alt-F` requires some of explanation. First, it maps nicely
to the paradigm of "key to set, alt-key to clear," which makes it
unobtrusive. Second, it can be a quicker way to clear the search than
moving the mouse to the top. Finally, in the future, it could a reset
the panels to their expansion before the search started.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D8857
This adds a search bar to the properties editor. The full search for
every tab isn't included in this patch, but the interaction with
panels, searching behavior, UI, region level, and DNA changes are
included here.
The block-level search works by iterating over the block's button
groups and checking whether they match the search. If they do, they
are tagged with a flag, and the block's panel is tagged too. For
every update (text edit), the panel's expansion is set to whether
the panel has a result or not. The search also checks for matching
strings inside enums and in panel labels.
One complication to this that isn't immediately apparent is that
closed panel's subpanels have to be searched too. This adds some
complexity to the area-level panel layout code.
Possible Future Improvements:
- Use the new fuzzy search in BLI
- Reset panels to their expansion before the search started if
the user escape out of the text box.
- Open all child panels of a panel with expansion.

The context path "breadcrumbs" used to be in a panel in 2.79.
Although they look a bit better in the header, there isn't enough
space for them with the property search field in the header as well.
Maybe there will be another solution in the long term to fit both
the search field and this panel in the header, but for now, this
commit moves these labels back to a header-less panel.

This is a change I pulled from the property-search-ui branch,

This adds a notification type for shaderfx so the properties editor can

Another possible solution would be to also redraw the shaderfx tab

ND_OBJECT | NC_MODIFIER updates, so those cases were

This patch implements the list panel system D7490 for modifiers.
It also moves modifier drawing to a callback in ModifierTypeInfo
in line with the extensible architecture refactoring goal T75724.
This adds a PanelRegister callback and utilities for registering
panels and subpanels. It also adds the callbacks for expansion saving
and drag and drop reordering described in D7490.
These utilities, callbacks, and other common UI elements shared
between modifiers live in MOD_ui_common.c.
Because modifier buttons are now in panels, we can make use of
subpanels for organization. The UI layouts also use the single
column layout style consistently used elsewhere in Blender.
Additionally, the mode-setting buttons are aligned and ordered
consistently with the outliner.
However, the large number of UI changes in this patch may mean
that additional polishing is required in master.
