Previously, this pie included an arbitrary set of brushes, with some additional drop-downs, and no way to access custom brushes.

This patch reworks the pie menu to contain 3 commonly used brushes, 4 sub-pie-menus with more brushes, and at the bottom, it's the brush asset shelf popover menu, where you can access all brushes.

So the nested pie menus in total manage to include all current brushes that ship with Blender, and you can access custom brushes in the popover.

Everything still works in 4.2 except the asset shelf popover, which is simply not available in that version.

The categorization logic vaguely matches with the asset catalogues used for the brushes. The "Special Brushes" pie combines a few catalogues, and the "Boundary" brush didn't fit into the "Transform Brushes" pie so it got sent to the special pie instead.

Feedback welcome, about the organization, naming, anything.
