Turn off "Sync Length" when splitting an NLA strip.
The NLA Strip-Action Clip has a setting called "Sync Length" that is on
by default and helps to update the length of the clip to the current
actions keyframes so the strip shows the entire actions stored
animation.
When you split one of these strip-action clips in the NLA to trim it
shorter or to move it somewhere else in the NLA tracks to blend or work
with, the "Sync Length" setting stays checked on. You can have many
strips in the NLA that all look to the same action, if you split one
strip , you now have two strips showing or linked to the same action.
To see or edit keyframes on a strip, you enter tweak mode. When you exit
tweak mode, if "Sync Length" is active on the strip-action clip
settings, the strip length is changed/reset to match the action keys.
When you have many clips, this causes all of them to evaluate and update
no matter where they are in the NLA. This destroys/undoes all the user
work to trim down and place the clips in the NLA.
**Description of the proposed solution:**
This patch/change would turn off, the "Sync Length" setting when the
split tool was used on a strip/action clip to help protect the users
choice to trim and keep the clip that length. It doesn't change the
ability to turn the setting back on or off, it just makes sure that the
user doesn't accidentally or unknowingly loose work.
The same process happens when an action is created that has a "manual
range" set that is different than the length of the actions start-end
keyframes. It makes sense to do the same thing for the split tool.
**Alternative solutions:**
While the user could know this and turn off this setting by hand, it is
easy to forget and or the user might think that it only happened to the
one clip they were editing and not realize it happened to all the
trimmed versions, changing the users choice without the user knowing it
happened.
**Limitations of the proposed solution:**
It only fixes the split tool, if another tool was created and some how
impacted the clip length we would need to have that tool also take the
sync length into account.

Previously, macros were ifdefed using the cmake option `WITH_INTERNATIONAL`
However, the is unnecessary as withen the functions themselves have checks for building without internationalization.
This also means that many `add_definitions(-DWITH_INTERNATIONAL)` are also unnecessary.

During sprite fright loading of complex scenes would spend a long time in remapping ID's
The remapping process is done on a per ID instance that resulted in a very time consuming
process that goes over every possible ID reference to find out if it needs to be updated.
If there are N of references to ID blocks and there are M ID blocks that needed to be remapped
it would take N*M checks. These checks are scattered around the place and memory.
Each reference would only be updated at most once, but most of the time no update is needed at all.
Idea: By grouping the changes together will reduce the number of checks resulting in improved performance.
This would only require N checks. Additional benefits is improved data locality as data is only loaded once
in the L2 cache.
It has be implemented for the resyncing process and UI editors.
On an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz 16Gig the resyncing process went
from 170 seconds to 145 seconds (during hotspot recording).
After this patch has been applied we could add similar approach
to references (references between data blocks) and functionality (tagged deletion).
In my understanding this could reduce the resyncing process to less than a second.

Some operations, e.g. adding a new action strip to NLA, require
knowing the active frame range of an action. However, currently it
can only be deduced by scanning the keyframes of the curves within
it. This is not ideal if e.g. curves are staggered for overlap.
As suggested by Nathan Vegdahl in comments to T54724, this patch adds
Action properties that allow manually specifying its active frame range.
The settings are exposed via a panel in the Dopesheet and Action Editor.
When enabled, the range is highlighted in the background using a striped
fill to distinguish it from the solid filled regular playback range.
When set, the frame range is used when adding or updating NLA tracks,
and by add-ons using `Action.frame_range`, e.g. FBX exporter.

The current `ICON_SMALL_TRI_RIGHT_VEC` uses dark hard-coded colors ([`0.2`, `0.2`, `0.2`])
which makes it impossible to theme and hard to see in dark contexts.
Use `ICON_RIGHTARROW` to match the Outliner's breadcrumbs. This icon uses `TH_TEXT` so it's visible as long as the rest of the text is.

The NLA editor is in need of a design overhaul, hopefully for 3.1 or 3.2.
This should be a project on itself, however, the worst offender currently is the use of
gradients on strips. Something that can be fixed easily.
{F11390293, size=full, loop, autoplay}
A simple replace of `UI_draw_roundbox_shade_x` for `UI_draw_roundbox_4fv` brings strips
in line with how other areas are drawn.
This patch also:
* Remove embossed lines around active action channel.
* Highlight the strip while being moved.
This patch does not include any theme changes. This will be tackled separately.

This is available in the DopeSheet, GraphEditor, and NLA Editor.
Currently:
- Dopesheet advertises to take selection into account...
-- ...but doesnt - which might be a mistake in rBe3842d1ca4dd
- Graph Editor does not mention selection...
-- ...and also does not take it into account
- NLA does not mention selection...
-- ...but takes it into account
Now:
- make them **all** take selection into account (you can still do a
quick 'Select All' prior to get the full range -- better than not being
able to set this based on selection)
- mention this for all in the tooltip
- also reword to 'Set Preview Range to Selected' since using the term
'Auto' impilies this would change on selection change.

Currently the Drivers Editor shows this (the blue thing can be dragged
to change frame):
{F10647661}
But the Drivers Editors X axis is the output of the driver [which can be
further tweaked by the curve] not time(frame).
So it seems better to not mix them here, it is just confusing to have
two different units on one axis.
Especially since what we really want to look at in X (the drivers output
value) can be in a totally unrelated range compared to frames, so e.g.
we might be interested in a drivers range from 0.0 to 1.0 and a
framerange of 100 to 200, so putting this on one axis just does not make
sense. Better to use a separate timeline for this.
Note 2.79 also did not do this.

The shader is complicated by itself, having hardcoded values makes it

Selection was already accessible but not active.
Add utility functions:
- ANIM_nla_context_track to access the active track,
following the convention of ANIM_nla_context_strip.
- ANIM_nla_context_*_ptr versions of these functions,

This change reduces the GPU context switches when drawing keyframes.
In the previous situation the keyframe blocks and keyframe keys were
drawn per channel. With this patch first all the keyframe blocks are
drawn for all channels and after that the keyframe keys are collected
for all channels and send to the GPU in a single draw call.

The poll for unlinking calls `nla_panel_context` without providing an
adt pointer, and there is a check for this pointer in
`nla_panel_context` leading to never returning true if it is not
provided. (this is fine if there are tracks already, poll would succeed
in this case, `nla_panel_context` goes a different code path then)
Same call to `nla_panel_context` is also done in the beginning of the
corresponding unlink exec function (but this time providing the pointer
because it is used later), so it makes sense to do the same thing in the
poll function. Equal check is also done in the panel poll function, so
now these are all in sync.

For T78995 we want to change the data structure of keylists to
improve performance. (Probably a Vector with bin-search capabilities).
This patch hides the internal structure of the keylists behind `AnimKeylist`
structure. This allows us to change the internals without 'breaking' where it is
being used.
The change adds functions to create, free, find and walk over the
keylist.

This patch implements the list panel system D7490 for FCurve modifiers.
The UI layouts are updated to make use of subpanels and to be consistent
with the rest of the interface, and easier to understand.
See the differential revision for screenshots.
This commit also significantly cleans up the FModifier UI code, and
improves, mainly by replacing the old button creation code is with
the newer interface API using RNA. In turn there is a bit of complexity
added because each FModifier has a separate panel.
Although reordering of FModifiers was not implemented before, we get
drag and drop basically for free here, so it is also included.
As noted in some older to do tasks, FModifiers aren't evaluated
in perfect order, which may be a point of improvement for the future.

These functions with many arguments can be unwieldy. Aside from the obvious issues
with rewriting the list of arguments and the opportunities for error and frustration
that presents, the long list of arguments make these systems hard to change. So when
an argument should be added, someone might skip that and add some hack instead.
So, as proposed in T73586#1037210, this patch instead uses a "params" struct for
each of these callbacks.
- Use param argument for `ARegionType.listener`
- Remove unused window field in region listener
- Use param argument for `SpaceType.listener`
- Use params struct for `ARegionType.message_subscribe`

Outliner display under 'Animation' > 'NLA Tracks' was not updating in
the following cases:
- adding strips
- removing strips
- duplicating strips (possibly to different track)
- swapping strips
- reordering tracks
- changing strip order by translating
- translating strips between tracks
- renaming tracks
In the case of deleting strips/tracks, this was also resulting in a use-
after-free error in Outliner drawing code (this was reported specifically
in T84586).
Most of these operators already sent a ND_NLA|NA_EDITED notifier, but the
Outliner is not listening to these. Listening to NA_EDITED is also not
what we want since this also happens a lot in cases irrelevant to the
Outliner. Now be a bit more specific and send ND_NLA|NA_ADDED / ND_NLA|
NA_REMOVED or a new ND_NLA_ORDER (to distinguish from NA_EDITED
'only' - where a redraw is not neccessary) and listen to these from the
Outliner.
(note: places that were listening to ND_NLA|NA_EDITED before are also
listening to NA_ADDED or NA_REMOVED, so changing NA_EDITED should not be
a problem here)
(note 2: for cases like swapping tracks/strips order, NA_ADDED or
NA_REMOVED does not make sense, neither can we use NA_EDITED [since we
dont want to listen to this], so in this case an additional ND_NLA_ORDER
is now sent)
(note 3: in nla transform code, this is now always sent on confirm. There
are cases were the notifier would not be needed, but checking exactly all
cases were it actually would be needed seems overkill [history of D10073
has example code to check if strips moved between tracks])

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.

- Remove ternary operators when both values are the same.
- Remove break after return.
- Remove redundant NULL checks for code which handles
those cases immediately beforehand.

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.

Also makes NLA tracks and strips overridable.
User can either edit existing strips in existing NLA tracks (but not add or remove them), and/or add new NLA tracks after those comming from the linked data.
Most of the work was as usual checking operators and adding protections against illegal operations in override context.
Note that since we can only rely on indices to deal with local added tracks, we forbid any local track being before any linked/original track.
