Custom driver functions need access to the dependency graph that is
triggering the evaluation of the driver. This patch passes the
dependency graph pointer through all the animation-related calls.
Instead of passing the evaluation time to functions, the code now passes
an `AnimationEvalContext` pointer:
```
typedef struct AnimationEvalContext {
struct Depsgraph *const depsgraph;
const float eval_time;
} AnimationEvalContext;
```
These structs are read-only, meaning that the code cannot change the
evaluation time. Note that the `depsgraph` pointer itself is const, but
it points to a non-const depsgraph.
FCurves and Drivers can be evaluated at a different time than the
current scene time, for example when evaluating NLA strips. This means
that, even though the current time is stored in the dependency graph, we
need an explicit evaluation time.
There are two functions that allow creation of `AnimationEvalContext`
objects:
- `BKE_animsys_eval_context_construct(Depsgraph *depsgraph, float
eval_time)`, which creates a new context object from scratch, and
- `BKE_animsys_eval_context_construct_at(AnimationEvalContext
*anim_eval_context, float eval_time)`, which can be used to create a
`AnimationEvalContext` with the same depsgraph, but at a different
time. This makes it possible to later add fields without changing any
of the code that just want to change the eval time.
This also provides a fix for T75553, although it does require a change
to the custom driver function. The driver should call
`custom_function(depsgraph)`, and the function should use that depsgraph
instead of information from `bpy.context`.

The reason was the datablock is changed but it was not tagged for depsgraph refresh.
In some cases it could be possible to tag several times the same datablock, but as this is not the case all the times and the number of tags is always very small, it doesn't worth a complex code to keep a memory list of the datablocks to tag.
EasingType was implemented rBdaccaa713b6e for the GraphEditor (but never
made it to the Dopesheet). If you can select Easing Mode in the
DopeSheet, then you should also be able to select the associated Easing
Type.
Thanks @lichtwerk for the initial implementation.

This commit is a full refactor of the grease pencil modules including Draw Engine, Modifiers, VFX, depsgraph update, improvements in operators and conversion of Sculpt and Weight paint tools to real brushes.
Also, a huge code cleanup has been done at all levels.
Thanks to @fclem for his work and yo @pepeland and @mendio for the testing and help in the development.

The old convention was easy to confuse with ScrArea.
Part of https://developer.blender.org/T74432.
This is mostly a batch rename with some manual fixing. Only single word
variable names are changed, no prefixed/suffixed names.
Brecht van Lommel and Campbell Barton both gave me a green light for
this convention change.
Also ran clan clang format on affected files.
- Use 'int' for counters instead of short.
- Use 'bool' instead of a counter when only a change is being detected.
- Use typed enum for keying set flags.
- Include in comments when a negate error code may be returned.
In our animation editors, we have a feature called View Frame. Problem is, it is not self evident what this feature does. Does it show frame numbers? Does it show all frames? Does it frame the view? Does it frame the view?
What this does, is it moves the view to where the playhead is. With clearer naming, we can communicate this much more clearly.
This is just a simple patch that changes the name from 'View Frame' -> 'Go to Current Frame'.

Use explicit boolean flag to indicate whether flush to original data
is needed or not. Makes it possible to avoid confusion on whether an
evaluated or any depsgraph can be passed to the API.
Allows to remove depsgraph from bAnimContext as well.

At first you could think that this refactor would not be
necessary, because `ACHANNEL_FIRST` exists already.
It contained the small y offset that all channels had.
Unfortunately, a lot of code assumed that
`ACHANNEL_FIRST = -ACHANNEL_HEIGHT`, making the
define pretty much useless. This refactor fixes that
for the action and nla editor.
As a nice side effect, this patch fixes channel box select.
Before there was always have a half-channel offset.

NLA strips support using the keyframe values in a variety of ways:
adding, subtracting, multiplying, linearly mixing with the result
of strips located below in the stack. This is intended for layering
tweaks on top of a base animation.
However, when inserting keyframes into such strips, it simply inserts
the final value of the property, irrespective of these settings. This
in fact makes the feature nearly useless.
To fix this it is necessary to evaluate the NLA stack below the
edited strip and correctly compute the raw key that would produce
the intended final value, according to the mode and influence.

The insert_keyframe function already applies NLA strip to action
time remapping, so doing it in insert_graph_keys/insert_action_keys
is redundant outside the code path that inserts directly into fcurve.
Notes:
* Really need to address RNA setters case, end up adding way too much
G.main here these days... :/
* Added Main pointer into bAnimContext, helps a lot in anim code ;)
When using copy on write, insert keyframe operators were reading from old
bmain data instead of COW data. This meant that inserting keyframes would
often read old/stale data, resulting in invalid keyframes getting created
(e.g. from last transform operation, instead of actual current state).
This commit makes it so that keyframing operators will ask depsgraph for
the evaluated copy of the data, so that it can read values from that. It
introduces a new function - `DEG_get_evaluated_rna_pointer()`, which when
working correctly/fully, should work just like the other `DEG_get_evaluated_*()`
functions, except it lets you pass in an RNA Pointer.
However, currently, this is only done for Pose Bones (as a dirty hack, since this
is an important/pivotal requirement for production) and/or datablock
properties directly (since we can just use the DEG_get_evaluated_id() directly).
on the datablock.
Committing to a branch for now as this all needs more testing. More work to come
later at a more sane time of day!
Cyclic extrapolation is implemented as an f-curve modifier, so this
technically violates abstraction separation and is something of a hack.
However without such behavior achieving smooth looping with cyclic
extrapolation is extremely cumbersome.
The new behavior is applied when the first modifier is Cyclic
extrapolation in Repeat or Repeat with Offset mode without
using influence, repeat count or range restrictions.
This change in behavior means that curve handles have to be updated
when the modifier is added, removed or its options change. Due to the
way code is structured, it seems it requires a helper link to the
containing curve from the modifier object.

This commit introduces a scale factor setting for scaling all keyframe indicators
in the Dopesheet Editor up/down, in order to make them easier to select. It is perhaps
most useful for keyframe types which are usually indicated using smaller keyframes
(e.g. breakdown), which may get tricky to quickly select.
