BlenderKit: multiple improvements:

HDR and scene asset types - These are now available when user enables experimental features in addon preferences.
Refactor Upload - no Blender instance isn't launched when not needed and everything happens in a thread, so no waiting for the user when e.g. updating metadata.
improve pasted asset_id string
Change asset type picking interface to fit more asset types
Notify user about brush mode needs
Update categories file
