This introduces the User Interface part of the Asset Browser, based on the
design in T54642.
Additions:
* New Asset Browser (internally a sub-editor of the File Browser).
* Navigation region showing asset categories.
* Main region showing the assets of the selected asset library with previews.
The assets may be stored over multiple .blends in the directory that's
"mounted" as asset library in the Preferences. They will all be shown in this
list.
* Header with an asset library dropdown, allowing to choose the active asset
library to show. Options are the "Current File" as asset library and all
custom libraries.
* Display popover, filter popover and search box (partially dummies, see
T82680).
* Sidebar showing the metadata of the currently active file (name, preview,
description and tags), which can be edited for assets in the "Current File"
asset library. (For others it will reset on reload.)
* The sidebar includes a button to load a custom preview image from a file.
* Make asset files draggable (with preview image).
* If a library with invalid path is selected, a message is drawn in the main
region to help the user understand what's wrong.
* Operators to add and remove asset tags. Exposed in the sidebar.
* "Only Assets" option for Link/Append.
* Internal utilities for asset UI scripts.
For screenshots or demo videos, please see D9725. Or the 2.92 release notes.
Note that there are many things to be tweaked and polished in the Asset Browser
UI still. For example, the filter and display popovers are mostly dummies. See
T82680.

In ad85256e71 the "Show Group Colors" option was changed from a
per-editor option to a user preference. Since so many people wanted to
turn this option off, this makes sense. However, this move caused some
confusion because the option was just gone from the menu.
This commit adds a dummy menu item. It's disabled, and the tooltip
explains that the option can now be found in Preferences.
T83390 was created to track the removal of these hints.

This is the initial merge from the geometry-nodes branch.
Nodes:
* Attribute Math
* Boolean
* Edge Split
* Float Compare
* Object Info
* Point Distribute
* Point Instance
* Random Attribute
* Random Float
* Subdivision Surface
* Transform
* Triangulate
It includes the initial evaluation of geometry node groups in the Geometry Nodes modifier.
Notes on the Generic attribute access API
The API adds an indirection for attribute access. That has the following benefits:
* Most code does not have to care about how an attribute is stored internally.
This is mainly necessary, because we have to deal with "legacy" attributes
such as vertex weights and attributes that are embedded into other structs
such as vertex positions.
* When reading from an attribute, we generally don't care what domain the
attribute is stored on. So we want to abstract away the interpolation that
that adapts attributes from one domain to another domain (this is not
actually implemented yet).
Other possible improvements for later iterations include:
* Actually implement interpolation between domains.
* Don't use inheritance for the different attribute types. A single class for read
access and one for write access might be enough, because we know all the ways
in which attributes are stored internally. We don't want more different internal
structures in the future. On the contrary, ideally we can consolidate the different
storage formats in the future to reduce the need for this indirection.
* Remove the need for heap allocations when creating attribute accessors.

* Dalai Felinto
* Hans Goudey

Make post-bake cleanup of the Bake Action operator optional, and disable
by default.
Previously Bake Action would do two things:
- Bake the Action
- Clean up the FCurves
It is now possible (and even the default) to only perform the baking
operation.

The design for how we approach the "Everything Nodes" project
has changed. We will focus on a different part of the project initially.
While future me will likely refer back to some of the code I remove here,
there is no point in keeping this code around in master currently.
It would just confuse other developers working on the project.
This does not remove the simulation modifier and data block. Those are
just cleaned up, so that the boilerplate code can be reused in the future.
Follow the MLA style, agreed upon in T79589. This means "from" within UI
labels should be lowercase.

- Density, interpolation and slicing options in Volume Object's
Viewport Display are now not aligned to each other as they are not
closely related.
- Changed the enum property for slicing ('Method') to a boolean
property 'Slice' and added a sub-panel for slicing options under
the 'Viewport Display' panel in Volume Object and Fluid for better
clarity.
- Renamed `axis_slice_method` to `use_slice` in the python API for
Volume Object and Fluid.

**Major changes:**
=== Viewport Display ===
- //Raw voxel display// or //closest (nearest-neighbor)// interpolation for displaying the underlying voxel data of the simulation grids more clearly.
- An option to display //gridlines// when the slicing method is //single//.
==== Grid Display ====
- Visualization for flags, pressure and level-set representation grids with a fixed color coding based on Manta GUI.
==== Vector Display ====
- //**M**arker **A**nd **C**ell// grid visualization options for vector grids like velocity or external forces.
- Made vector display options available for external forces.
==== Coloring options for //gridlines// ====
- Range highlighting and cell filtering options for displaying the simulation grid data more precisely.
- Color gridlines with flags.
- Also, made slicing and interpolation options available for Volume Object.

This operator automates the following steps:
1. Create a point cloud object.
2. Create a simulation data block.
3. Add a small particle simulation to the node tree.
4. Add a Simulation modifier to the point cloud object.
5. Reference the particle simulation from the modifier.
You have to go back to frame 1 to start the simulation.
The simulation is not yet cached and cannot be rendered.
The bounding box of the point cloud object is enabled for now,
because otherwise it is hard to select the object.
The panel looks out of place with the rest of Blender's UI and the
text is cropped. With property split turned on and a few smaller
tweaks these issues are fixed.
