Using this flag from linked data is always a double-edge sword, in one
end some user have been relying on it to keep around data that is not
really used as ID (like e.g. text data-blocks, node trees, see
e.g. #103687, #105687). On the other end, it often causes over-keeping
of linked data reference in production files.
From now on, when an unused linked data is to be kept around, users
should create an ID property to reference it.
Implements #106321.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/111042
Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
133dde41bb changed how 'fake user' flag is handled with linked data.
Previous behavior was a bug/inconsistency, in that the 'directly linked'
tag would be 'over-set' and never cleared, forcing saving references to
a lot of unused linked data.
Note that ideally, 'Fake user' flag should be ignored, and the only way
to decide whether to keep or not a linked ID should be whether it's
actually used by some local data.
However, #103867 and #105687 show that this is causing issues in some cases,
where users wrongly relied on the linked data's pre-defined 'Fake user' flag
to keep their linked data in their production files, even if said data had no
real user.
While not ideal, for now we should consider 'fake user' flag for linked data
as a real usage case. A better handling of this edge-case is related to
wider designs aboud handling of 'non used' data on file save, whether
linked IDs should keep track of being explicitly or implicitly linked by
the user, etc.
Such IDs are tagged with the new `LIB_TAG_RUNTIME`. They are essentially
like any other regular ID, except that they do not get written in .blend
files. They also do not make their linked data usages directly linked.
They do be written in undo steps however.
This tag should be ignored in any non-Main IDs (e.g. evaluated data,
`NO_MAIN`, etc.).
This commit also adds a new RNA ID property, `is_runtime`. This is not a
direct mapping to the DNA tag, as a non-main ID will also return True,
and the property is only editable for Main IDs.
Some basic testing for expected behavior of that new tag was also added
to `blendfile_io` py unittest.

Use a shorter/simpler license convention, stops the header taking so
much space.

While most of the source tree has been included
- `./extern/` was left out.
- `./intern/cycles` & `./intern/atomic` are also excluded because they

Blender was not configured to exit with non-zero return code on Python errors.
A bunch of tests worked around this but not all. This removes the need for such
workarounds.
