Adds a keyboard walk navigation and selection operator to the
outliner. Up and down arrow keys walk up and down the list of
elements, and left and right will open and close elements if
the elements are closed or opened respectively. Holding shift
while walking up and down the tree expands the selection.
Holding shift while clicking or pressing left and right arrows
will expand or collapse all children elements recursively.
Pressing enter to openclose the hovered element is removed.
Also allows click+drag for openclose of element subtrees.
This moves openclose toggling to the openclose operator to
remove duplicate code. The outliner tree building is tweaked
slightly to set the proper parents in scene display mode for walk
select to walk to parents without errors.
Draw all constraint icons and enable/disable restrict buttons.
The action constraint needs its own icon. It currently draws white
instead of the blue modifier color.
Adds a toggle to the filter menu for outliner synced selection. Enabled
by default, this ensures selection is synced between objects, bones, and
sequences. An active outliner element theme color is added to indicate
which element is active.
Synced selection is controlled on the operator level. Each operator
that modifies selection for objects, bones, sequences, or outliner
elements needs to call the respective ED_outliner_select_sync_from..
function to tag outliners to be synced.
Syncing is done lazily on outliner draw.
This mode was supposed to be the new default since 2 years already.
But apparently, it was tackled only for doversion, but not for new
outliners (see 7f596d39df).
This patch removes the hover highlight that can sometimes remain after moving out of the Outliner space

This was discussed in the past, the idea is to get the outliner even more compact.
Also to let users to use the viewport selection restriction further.
It would be nice to haven indication that an invisible column is set, but this is
no particular to the selection column.
No major API change here, only in the outliner restriction column
variables (e.g., show_restrict_column_selectable > show_restrict_column_select).
* Get rid of _INSTANCE (introduced on b1af682001).
* Differentiate (everywhere but the API) between HIDE (temporary) and VIEWPORT (global).
* Use the expected icon for restrict viewport (same as objects and modifiers).
* selectable > select
See T61578 for discussions and mockups.
Visibility Options
==================
We are adding more granular control over restriction columns in the outliner,
exposing "indirect only" and "holdout" as options, and change the way
users enable/disable collections in a viewlayer.
We also rename the object viewport restriction to hide instance.
So the options we have are:
Collection
----------
* Render Visibility
* Instance Visibility
* Selectable
(View) Layer Collection
-----------------------
* Enable
* Holdout
* Indirect Only
* Viewport
Shortcuts
=========
Isolate Collection
------------------
* Ctr + click isolates the collection.
It turns all its parents and children "visible", and all the other
collections "invisible".
If ALL the collections were already properly set, we re-set the
collections to their default value.
Set Collection Inside Collections and Objects
---------------------------------------------
* Shift + click: Set/unset inside collections and objects.
We only set objects values as well when we are in View Layer mode and
(obviously) when the objects have a matching property.
Icons
=====
Little reminder that we will need better icons for holdout, indirect only, and
probably instanced (nothing wrong with the current, but it differs from
the proposal when it is turned off).
Also, we need to decide where do we want the modifier/bones/... icons to
be (in which column) and ideally make sure their icons match the ones we
use for collections/objects.
At the moment those are using the screen icon, which is not being used
by collections.

This is a continuation of rB7fdffd735ff24, where I separated the
e.g. frame number drawing from scrollers internally.
This patch changes the API, so that space draw handlers
have to draw these numbers explicitely.
This greatly simplifies the scrollers API for all spaces
that just need scrollers without any frame numbers.

This translates the gl calls to the new GPU_ wrappers from D3501.
Given it's tedious and repetitive work, this patch does as much as it can with search + replace, the remainder of the gl calls will need to be manually dealt with on a case by case basis.
This fixes 13 of the 28 failing editors when building without opengl.

OVERVIEW
* In 2.7 terminology, all layers and groups are now collection datablocks.
* These collections are nestable, linkable, instanceable, overrideable, ..
which opens up new ways to set up scenes and link + override data.
* Viewport/render visibility and selectability are now a part of the collection
and shared across all view layers and linkable.
* View layers define which subset of the scene collection hierarchy is excluded
for each. For many workflows one view layer can be used, these are more of an
advanced feature now.
OUTLINER
* The outliner now has a "View Layer" display mode instead of "Collections",
which can display the collections and/or objects in the view layer.
* In this display mode, collections can be excluded with the right click menu.
These will then be greyed out and their objects will be excluded.
* To view collections not linked to any scene, the "Blender File" display mode
can be used, with the new filtering option to just see Colleciton datablocks.
* The outliner right click menus for collections and objects were reorganized.
* Drag and drop still needs to be improved. Like before, dragging the icon or
text gives different results, we'll unify this later.
LINKING AND OVERRIDES
* Collections can now be linked into the scene without creating an instance,
with the link/append operator or from the collections view in the outliner.
* Collections can get static overrides with the right click menu in the outliner,
but this is rather unreliable and not clearly communicated at the moment.
* We still need to improve the make override operator to turn collection instances
into collections with overrides directly in the scene.
PERFORMANCE
* We tried to make performance not worse than before and improve it in some
cases. The main thing that's still a bit slower is multiple scenes, we have to
change the layer syncing to only updated affected scenes.
* Collections keep a list of their parent collections for faster incremental
updates in syncing and caching.
* View layer bases are now in a object -> base hash to avoid quadratic time
lookups internally and in API functions like visible_get().
VERSIONING
* Compatibility with 2.7 files should be improved due to the new visibility
controls. Of course users may not want to set up their scenes differently
now to avoid having separate layers and groups.
* Compatibility with 2.8 is mostly there, and was tested on Eevee demo and Hero
files. There's a few things which are know to be not quite compatible, like
nested layer collections inside groups.
* The versioning code for 2.8 files is quite complicated, and isolated behind
#ifdef so it can be removed at the end of the release cycle.
KNOWN ISSUES
* The G-key group operators in the 3D viewport were left mostly as is, they
need to be modified still to fit better.
* Same for the groups panel in the object properties. This needs to be updated
still, or perhaps replaced by something better.
* Collections must all have a unique name. Less restrictive namespacing is to
be done later, we'll have to see how important this is as all objects within
the collections must also have a unique name anyway.
* Full scene copy and delete scene are exactly doing the right thing yet.

Both the scene and workspace had an active view layer, and it was confusing
which settings were being used or displayed where. Now we always have one,
so there is no mismatch.
The "View Layers" tab in the properties editor is now "View Layer", no longer
showing a list of layers. Instead view layers can be added and removed with
the workspace view layer selector. They are also listed and selectable in the
outliner.
Single layer rendering uses the active view layer from the workspace.
This fixes bugs where the wrong active view layer was used, but more places
remain that are wrong and are now using the first view layer in the scene.
These are all marked with BKE_view_layer_context_active_PLACEHOLDER.
* "Scenes" now shows for each scene lists of all view layers, collections and
objects contained in it. This is the place to see all collections and objects
in the scene even if they are not used in any view layer. Objects are nested
according to parenting here.
* "Collections" now shows all collections in the view layer, and the objects
in those collections. Objects are not nested by parenting, only collections
since it would be too confusing if the children are in a different collection.
* "Groups" is unchanged.
* "View Layer" was removed, replaced by "Collections".
Part of T54790.
Requiring context means we can't easily create new editors to replace deprecated
ones in versioning code.
Think it's reasonable to give editors access to scene and area data for their
initial setup though. They mostly need it for setting "the view", as in,
scrolling values.
Also did minor cleanup in top-bar creation function.
We have different ways of explore the scene objects, namely View Layer and
Collections. This change let us focus on compositing elements only such as:
* View Layers
** Collections
** Render Passes
* Freestyle
* Grease Pencil?
Not included in this commit is an option to handle filtering of
collections passes, ... Not sure if we would like, though.
Since they are all properly nested under a "Collections" / "Passes"
parent.
User notes:
The outliner so far was a great system to handle the object oriented workflow
we had in Blender prior to 2.8. However with the introduction of collections
the bloated ammount of data we were exposed at a given time was eventually
getting on the way of fully utilizing the outliner to manage collections and
their objects.
We hope that with this filtering system the user can put together the outliner
with whichever options he or she seem fit for a given task.
Features:
* Collection filter: In case users are only focused on objects.
* Object filter: Allow users to focus on collections only.
* (Object) content filter: Modifiers, mesh, contrainst, materials, ...
* (Object) children filter: Hide object children [1].
* Object State (visible, active, selected).
* Compact header: hide search options under a search toggle.
* Preserve scrolling position before/after filtering [2].
[1] - Note we still need to be able to tell if a children of an object is in a
collection, or if the parent object is the only one in the collection.
This in fact was one of the first motivations for this patch. But it is to
be addressed separately now that we can at least hide children away.
[2] - We look at the top-most collection in the outliner, and try to find it again
after the filtering and make sure it is in the same position as before.
This works nice now. But to work REALLY, REALLY nice we need to also store
the previous filter options to be sure the element we try to keep on top
was valid for both old and new filters. I would rather do this later though
since this smell a lot like feature creeping ;)
Remove no longer needed display options:
* Current Scene (replaced by View Layer/Collections)
* Visible (replaced by filter)
* Selected (same)
* Active (same)
* Same Type (same-ish)
How about All Scenes? I have a patch that will come next to replace the current
behaviour and focus only on compositing. So basically stop showing the objects
and show only view layers, their passes and collections, besides freestyle.
Also, while at this I'm also reorganizing the menu to keep View Layer and
Collections on top.
Developer notes:
* Unlike the per-object filtering, for collections we need to filter at tree
creation time, to prevent duplication of objects in the outliner.
Acknowledgements:
Thanks Pablo Vazquez for helping testing, thinking some design questions
together and pushing this to its final polished state as you see here.
Thanks Sergey Sharybin and Julian Eisel for code review. Julian couldn't do a
final review pass after I addressed his concerns. So blame is on me for any
issue I may be introducing here. Sergey was the author of the "preserve
scrolling position" idea. I'm happy with how it is working, thank you.

The RenderResult struct still has a listbase of RenderLayer, but that's ok
since this is strictly for rendering.
* Subversion bump (to 2.80.2)
* DNA low level doversion (renames) - only for .blend created since 2.80 started
Note: We can't use DNA_struct_elem_find or get file version in init_structDNA,
so we are manually iterating over the array of the SDNA elements instead.
Note 2: This doversion change with renames can be reverted in a few months. But
so far it's required for 2.8 files created between October 2016 and now.
