This commit adds a new menu entry - "Edit Driver" - the RMB menu that
will show a popover panel displaying the settings for the driver you
activated the menu item on. This shows the popover panel defined in
yesterday's commit (GRAPH_PT_drivers_popover).
It is possible to edit the driver settings from this panel now.
However, do be warned that the functionality presented is highly
WIP still. There are some unresolved issues, such as:
- The popover disappears too easily on any mouse movements/clicks
on anything, making the panel less useful right now than it should.
- The layout still needs refining. Currently the layout that's there
is a bit of a placeholder until we can play around with it a bit
more to see/feel what feels good/right or what is too much.
- The "Open Drivers Editor" on the bottom of the panel doesn't work.
There are some tricky context tricky things that need to happen here
to make that case work, since the operator button won't have the necessary
context info.

FIXME: The icons for datablocks may not always be correct. It uses the
innermost struct's icon instead of the datablock's icon - e.g. Bone
vs Object/Armature. But, that may make more sense for users?
This commit adds an operator, "Show Drivers Editor", to the RMB menu when
clicking on properties.
As per T54653, this will open a new Graph Editor instance in a new/separate
window (much like how the User Preferences show up in a popup window now),
and will configure all the relevant panels so that you can see and edit the
driver settings immediately without doing a lot of the view configuration steps
that were previously needed.
When doing so on a property that is driven, the driver/fcurve for that property
will be made active in the editor, ready for you to start editing its settings
without having to hunt it down again first.
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!
Experimental support for using popovers like menus,
use this when the user hold the mouse down
(previously this did nothing).
This means turning frequently accessed menu items into
popovers doesn't add more clicks to the existing use case.
The outliner can redraw quicker without rebuilding the tree, for example when
just moving the mouse and highlighting different items. The way this worked is
that the outliner would be tagged to avoid rebuilding, however if another
operation that does require rebuilding happens in the meantime we could go out
of sync and crash.
This avoids having to store the tool definition in the operator
properties (on redraw).
Now just set the name, note this means we can't show the keymap in the
tool-tip anymore. This will eventually be shown in the status bar.
The Studio lights are now loaded from disk. The location is
`datafiles/studiolights` they need to be JPG for now. JPG cannot store
HDRI color range but they are clamped inside the Workbench
engine for speed reason. I didn't select JP2K as it might not be
enabled.
Users can add upto 20 HDRI files. This limitation is inside the
RNA_space.c Currently the icons are calculated when you first open the
selection box for the HDRI's. We could add them to a background
rendering later.
I added 2 test files a sky texture rendered in Cycles and an HDRI from
cloud.blender.org.
This feature is limited (only byte PPM output, no multi-view),
only works with specific configurations.
This also causes some maintenance overhead
when testing changes to the render pipeline.
Scroll-bars are now hidden unless the cursor approaches them, in which case they
smoothly grow and become more & more visible. Note that since 0d309144020168e55,
scroll-bars are drawn on top of editor contents. There's no more jumping of
buttons when scroll-bars appear.
Technical notes:
* AZones are used to adjust scrollbars based on mouse movements
We may want to support screen level AZones if we want scrollbars to also
smoothly appear when approaching them from a different area.
I also plan to make further changes to AZones to clean up stuff a bit.
* Had to move AZone handling to a post ARegion init stage, since we need the
updated View2D data from there.
* View2D masks and scroller rectangles are now updated on every redraw. It's
cheap to do that though.
Scroll-bars used to draw in a little extra space in the editor, causing
buttons to jump a bit when they appeared/disappeared. Now they draw on
top of the buttons, just small enough to avoid bigger overlaps. Followup commits
will do further adjustments.
With this we can get rid of a hack that was calling the (often Python
defined) panel definition - the panel 'draw' callback - twice.
Note: This rely on the property having a pre-defined default.
Also, be aware that trying to multi-drag and multi-ui-edit is not working
at the moment (T54976).

* Ensure popover does not change direction or location.
* Open popover towards the relevant editor, like pulldown menus.
* Use a bigger maximum assumed size to deal with some corner cases.
* Do proper 3D viewport header refresh on shading mode changes.
This is for the 3D viewport and image editor. A remaining issue is
that pulldown menu buttons only show text, which is not visible on
all background colors, so making the header entirely transparent
does not work well at the moment.
