Originally the operator name was drawn next to the dragging content.
After that there was an option to add custom, static text with the
dragging content. This patch allows dynamic text to be drawn.
The custom text was implemented as out parameter of the poll function
what made the code unclear. This patch introduces a tooltip function
that separates tooltip generation from the poll function.
NOTE: the text should always be returned in its own memory block. This
block will be freed after it is copied in the drag struct.

Would previously pass a few properties that are available via the
asset-handle now. This asset-handle is also required for some of the
asset API, e.g. the temporary ID loading. This will probably be needed
before too long.

The asset view UI template is a mini-version of the Asset Browser that
can be placed in regular layouts, regions or popups. At this point it's
made specifically for placement in vertical layouts, it can be made more
flexible in the future.
Generally the way this is implemented will likely change a lot still as
the asset system evolves.
The Pose Library add-on will use the asset view to display pose
libraries in the 3D View sidebar.

Notes:
* Important limitation: Due to the early & WIP implementation of the
asset list, all asset views showing the same library will show the
same assets. That is despite the ID type filter option the template
provides. The first asset view created will determine what's visible.
Of course this should be made to work eventually.
* The template supports passing an activate and a drag operator name.
The former is called when an asset is clicked on (e.g. to apply the
asset) the latter when dragging (e.g. to .blend a pose asset). If no
drag operator is set, regular asset drag & drop will be executed.
* The template returns the properties for both operators (see example
below).
* The argument list for using the template is quite long, but we can't
avoid that currently. The UI list design requires that we pass a
number of RNA or custom properties to work with, that for the Pose
Libraries should be registered at the Pose Library add-on level, not
in core Blender.
* Idea is that Python scripts or add-ons that want to use the asset view
can register custom properties, to hold data like the list of assets,
and the active asset index. Maybe that will change in future and we
can manage these internally.
As an example, the pose library add-on uses it like this:
```
activate_op_props, drag_op_props = layout.template_asset_view(
"pose_assets",
workspace,
"active_asset_library",
wm,
"pose_assets",
workspace,
"active_pose_asset_index",
filter_id_types={"filter_action"},
activate_operator="poselib.apply_pose_asset",
drag_operator="poselib.blend_pose_asset",
)
drag_op_props.release_confirm = True
drag_op_props.flipped = wm.poselib_flipped
activate_op_props.flipped = wm.poselib_flipped
```

So far all UI lists had to be defined in Python, this makes it possible
to define them in C as well. Note that there is a whole bunch of special
handling for the Python API that isn't there for C. I think most
importantly custom properties support, which currently can't be added
for C defined UI lists.
The upcoming asset view UI template will use this, which needs to be
defined in C.
Adds a new file `interface_template_list.cc`, which at this point is
mostly a dummy to have a place for the `ED_uilisttypes_ui()` definition.
I plan a separate cleanup to move the UI-list template to that file.

This button type shows a preview image above centered text, similar to
the File Browser files in Thumbnail Display Mode or the default Asset
Browser display. In fact we may want to port these over to use the new
button type at some point.
Will be used by the asset view UI template that will be added in a
following commit. That is basically a mini version of the Asset Browser
that can be displayed elsewhere in the UI.

If a text button is activated that is not in view (i.e. scrolled away),
the scrolling will now be adjusted to have it in view (with some
small additional margin). While entering text, the view may also be
updated should the button move out of view, for whatever reason. For the
most part, this feature shouldn't be needed and won't kick in, except
when a clicked on text button is partially out of view or very close to
the region edge. It's however quite important for the previously
committed feature, that is, pressing Ctrl+F to start searching in a UI
list. The end of the list where the scroll button appears may not be in
view. Plus while filtering the number of visible items changes so the
scrolling has to be updated to keep the search button visible.
Note that I disabled the auto-scrolling for when the text button spawned
an additional popup, like for search-box buttons. That is because
current code assumes the button to have a fixed position while the popup
is open. There is no code to update the popup position together with the
button/scrolling.
I also think that the logic added here could be used in more places,
e.g. for the "ensure file in view" logic the File Browser does.

For pose libraries, we need to be able to apply a pose whenever
activating (clicking) an item in the Pose Library asset view and blend
it by dragging (press & move). And since we want to allow Python scripts
to define what happens at least when activating an asset (so they can
define for example a custom "Apply" operator for preset assets), it
makes sense to just let them pass an operator name to the asset view
template. The template will be introduced in a following commit.

This is more of a first-pass refactor for the UI list template. More
improvements could be done, but that's better done separately. Main
purpose of this is to make the UI list code more manageable and ready
for the asset view template.
No functional changes for users.
* Split the huge template function into more manageable functions, with
clear names and a few structs with high coherency.
* Move runtime data management to the template code, with a free
callback called from BKE. This is UI data and should be managed at
that level.
* Replace boolean arguments with bit-flags (easily extendable and more
readable from the caller).
* Allow passing custom-data to the UI list for callbacks to access.
* Make list grip button for resizing optional.
* Put logic for generating the internal UI list identifier (stored in
.blends) into function. This is a quite important bit and a later
commit adds a related function. Good to have a clear API for this.
* Improve naming, comments, etc.
As part of further cleanups I'd like to move this to an own file.

Use the same partial-update functions used by transform when

This avoids unnecessary calculations for normals and tessellation.

Support for begin/update/end callbacks allowing state to be cached
and reused while dragging a number button or slider.
This is done using `UI_block_interaction_set` to set callbacks.
- Dragging multiple buttons at once is supported,
passing multiple unique events into the update function.
- Update is only called once even when multiple buttons are edited.
- The update callback can detect the difference between click & drag
actions so situations to support skipping cache creation and
freeing for situations where it's not beneficial.

This changes `UI_but_func_tooltip_set` so that it allows passing a custom free function, which has two benefits:
* The caller can pass `null` to indicate that the value should not be freed.
* Arbitrary c++ data can be passed to the callback (before the struct had to be trivially destructible).
I added `uiFreeArgFunc` and used it in other places where appropriate.

`UILayout.operator_menu_enum()` now returns the operator properties, just like
`UILayout.operator()`. This makes it possible to set options for the operator
displayed in the menu. In C it can be done through the new
`uiItemMenuEnumFullO()` or `uiItemMenuEnumFullO_ptr()`.
It's reasonable to have this, probably just a small thing never bothered to
add. D10912 could use it, the following comment can be addressed now too:

Widget drawing code already supported drawing right-aligned, grayed out
shortcut strings. This patch generalizes things a bit so this can also
be used to draw other hints in the same way. There have been a few
instances in the past where this would've been useful, D11046 being the
latest one.
Note that besides some manual regression testing, I didn't check if this
works yet, as there is no code actually using it (other than the
shortcuts). Can be checked as part of further development for D11046.
A possible further improvement would be providing a way to define how
clipping should be done. E.g. sometimes the right-aligned text should be
clipped first (because it's just a hint), in other cases it should be
left untouched (like current code explicitly does it for shortcuts).
Removes the `UI_BUT_HAS_SHORTCUT` flag, which isn't needed anymore.

Note: Linking in this case as in link vs. append. Easily confused with linking
a data-block to multiple usages (e.g. single material used by multiple
objects).
Adds a drop-down to the Asset Browser header to choose between Link and Append.
This is probably gonna be a temporary place, T54642 shows where this could be
placed eventually.
Linking support is crucial for usage of the asset browser in production
environments. It just wasn't enabled yet because a) the asset project currently
focuses on single user, not production assets, and b) because there were many
unkowns still for the workflow that have big impact on production use as well.
With the recently held asset workshop I'm more confident with enabling linking,
as design ideas relevant to production use were confirmed.

The problem is that each uiBlock needs to be assigned a unique name,
but when there can be multiple modifiers of the same type, we use the
panel sort order for the unique part of the string. However, the most
recent test file has 1200+ panels in the property editor, so 4
characters isn't enough for a unique string.
That's not a situation I expected, but it makes sense, because we don't
remove legacy panels with unused types when loading old files. So they
tend to accumulate a bunch of unused panels. That's why this works fine
with a new property editor, it doesn't all of the extra old panels.
These panels must be stored for the expansion status and order, but
arguably we could cull unused panels on save. However, simply increasing
the length of the unique panel string is a valid fix in this situation.
In the future, we can look into removing unused panels when saving.

This patch adds domain and data type information to each row of the
attribute search menu. The data type is displayed on the right, just
like how the list is exposed for the existing point cloud and hair
attribute panels. The domain is exposed on the left like the menu
hierarchy from menu search.
For the implementation, the attribute hint information is stored as a
set instead of a multi-value map so that every item (which we need to
point to descretely in the search process) contains the necessary data
type and domain information by itself. We also need to allocate a new
struct for every button, which requires a change to allow passing a
newly allocated argument to search buttons.
Note that the search does't yet handle the case where there are two
attributes with the same name but different domains or data types in
the input geometry set. That will be handled as a separate improvement.

In the current implementation, cryptomatte passes are connected to the node
and elements are picked by using the eyedropper tool on a special pick channel.
This design has two disadvantages - both connecting all passes individually
and always having to switch to the picker channel are tedious.
With the new design, the user selects the RenderLayer or Image from which the
Cryptomatte layers are directly loaded (the type of pass is determined by an
enum). This allows the node to automatically detect all relevant passes.
Then, when using the eyedropper tool, the operator looks up the selected
coordinates from the picked Image, Node backdrop or Clip and reads the picked
object directly from the Renderlayer/Image, therefore allowing to pick in any
context (e.g. by clicking on the Combined pass in the Image Viewer). The
sampled color is looked up in the metadata and the actual name is stored
in the cryptomatte node. This also allows to remove a hash by just removing
the name from the matte id.
Technically there is some loss of flexibility because the Cryptomatte pass
inputs can no longer be connected to other nodes, but since any compositing
done on them is likely to break the Cryptomatte system anyways, this isn't
really a concern in practise.
In the future, this would also allow to automatically translate values to names
by looking up the value in the associated metadata of the input, or to get a
better visualization of overlapping areas in the Pick output since we could
blend colors now that the output doesn't have to contain the exact value.

I landed D10527 in rB1a8aee0a7cec accidentally, and the version there was
missing a name change discussed in review. This commit just renames the
boolean variable controlling the special behavior for attribute search.
Original message meant for this change:
For geometry nodes we will use search buttons to display a list of
attributes available the last time the node tree was executed (D10519).
Because this list is just a hint, we need to be able to enter any string,
not just strings from the search items.
This patch adds a boolean option to string buttons to enable this.
The change is quite simple, changes to behavior are only required in
two places. The type-specific button struct changes help a lot here.

Currently when you open an RNA collection search button, like a
vertex group selector, the search filter isn't applied until you
start typing, in order to display every option at the start.
Otherwise they wouldn't be visible, since the search filter would
run for the current text.
Currently this check happens in one place, but it relies on the
`changed` value of `uiBut`. This is fine in the interface directory,
but anywhere else it would require exposing `uiBut.changed`, which
is probably too low-level to expose.
The solution is adding an `is_first` argument to the search callbacks,
which is nice for a few reasons:
- They work at a higher level of abstraction, meaning they don't
have to worry about how exactly to tell if this is the first
search.
- It makes it easier to do special behavior when the search menu
is first opened.
- Then, obviously, it makes that state accessible without including
`interface_intern.h`.

E.g. steps to reproduce:
* Enter Vertex Paint mode
* In the tool settings, right-click > "Edit Source"
When creating a number slider via `layout.prop(..., slider=True)`, the UI code
would reallocate the number button to be a number-slider button. That's because
we now actually have different button data-structures for these (see
e6f0b60c2e911). The edit source code stored data based on the button pointers,
which didn't get updated after changing the type. The fix just adds this
updating.

Long data-block names are clipped to fit into data-block selector menus. For
linked data-blocks, there's also a hint indicating the source library, which
takes further space and may get clipped too.
So this commit adds a tooltip to the menu items, which displays the full,
unclipped data-block name and the unclipped library name. Plus, the library
path is shown too, which is also useful info.
Adds helper functions for search menu item tooltips, so these are easier to add

Partially reverts 2250b5cefee7.
Removing the user count and fake user count icons was controversial (which was
expected) and there are a few further changes needed, that won't make it in
time for the release, see D9946.
While there is a design to bring back the user count and fake user indicators,
a new design idea was proposed that the UI team wants to follow. This came too
late for the 2.92 release, the new design is targeted at the 2.93 release now.
Meanwhile, UI team decision was to simply revert the design changes.
The new design is being worked on in https://developer.blender.org/T84669.
Note that this commit does not revert some internal changes done in
2250b5cefee7. Namely the introduction of `ed_util_ops.c` and data-block
operators in there. These will still be needed in the new design.

This bug was caused by making it so that non-embossed modifier icon
buttons could become an operator button and retain their red highlight
for disabled modifiers. The icon button needs emboss turned off, but
in earlier versions of Blender, `UI_EMBOSS_NONE` would be overridden
by animation or red alert states.
Instead of abusing "NONE" to mean "none unless there is animation or
red alert", this commit adds a new emboss flag for that situation,
`UI_EMBOSS_NONE_OR_STATUS`, which uses no emboss unless there is an
animation state, or another status. There are only a few situations
where this is necessary, so the change isn't too big.

The previous design is rather old and has a couple of problems:
* Scalability: The current solution of adding little icon buttons next to the
data-block name field doesn't scale well. It only works if there's a small
number of operations. We need to be able to place more items there for better
data-block management. Especially with the introduction of library overrides.
* Discoverability: It's not obvious what some of the icons do. They appear and
disappear, but it's not obvious why some are available at times and others
not.
* Unclear Status: Currently their library status (linked, indirectly linked,
broken link, library override) isn't really clear.
* Unusual behavior: Some of the icon buttons allow Shift or Ctrl clicking to
invoke alternative behaviors. This is not a usual pattern in Blender.
This patch does the following changes:
* Adds a menu to the right of the name button to access all kinds of operations
(create, delete, unlink, user management, library overrides, etc).
* Make good use of the "disabled hint" for tooltips, to explain why buttons are
disabled. The UI team wants to establish this as a good practise.
* Use superimposed icons for duplicate and unlink, rather than extra buttons
(uses less space, looks less distracting and is a nice + consistent design
language).
* Remove fake user and user count button, they are available from the menu now.
* Support tooltips for superimposed icons (committed mouse hover feedback to
master already).
* Slightly increase size of the name button - it was already a bit small
before, and the move from real buttons to superimposed icons reduces usable
space for the name itself.
* More clearly differentiate between duplicate and creating a new data-block.
The latter is only available in the menu.
* Display library status icon on the left (linked, missing library, overridden,
asset)
* Disables "Make Single User" button - in review we weren't sure if there are
good use-cases for it, so better to see if we can remove it.
Note that I do expect some aspects of this design to change still. I think some
changes are problematic, but others disagreed. I will open a feedback thread on
devtalk to see what others think.
