This change makes it so build system and update utilities for Blender builds
are using pre-compiled libraries and other resources attached as Git modules
instead of using checkout of SVN repositories in the parent folder.
The directory layout:
```
* release/datafiles/
* assets/ -> blender-assets.git
* publish/
* ...
* README.txt
* lib/
* darwin_x64/ -> lib-darwin_x64.git
* darwin_arm64/ -> lib-darwin_arm64.git
* linux_x64/ -> lib-linux_x64.git
* windows_x64/ -> lib-windows_x64.git
* tests/
* data/ -> blender-test-data.git
```
The changes about configuring the actual Git sub-modules are not included
into this patch, as those require repository to actually exist before it
can be used.
The assets submodule is enabled by default, and the rest of them are
disabled. This means that if someone runs `git submodule update --init`
they will not get heavy libraries. The platform-specific and tests
related submodules are enabled when using `make update` or `make test`.
All the submodules are tracked: this means that when new commits are
done to the submodule, the blender.git repository is to be updated to
point them to the new hash. This causes some extra manual work, but it
allows to more easily update Blender and its dependencies to known good
state when performing operations like bisect.

I added a new BLO_userdef_default.h header to contain declarations of
two global variables that are still defined in C files. Use of designated
initializers for large structs make those files harder to change.
Arguably this is a better header for them anyway.

Additional icons for face corner, pointcloud points needed for general
usage. Unselected camera, view locked, and view unlocked for #111076.
Changes to mod_mask for #117467. pointcloud_data changed only for
alignment change. Running Update Icons also changed mod_explode.

Splits the flag `..._FLAG_INSERTNEEDED` between autokey and
manual keying. The fact that this flag was shared between the two
systems has been the cause of issues in the past. It wouldn't
let you insert a keyframe even though you explicitly used an operator
to do so.
In order to be clearer what options are used where, the user preferences
have been reordered.
By default "Only Insert Needed" will be enabled for auto-keying, but not for manual keying.
The versioning code will enable both if it was enabled previously.
# Code side changes
The keying system has flags that define the behavior
when keys are inserted. Some of those flags were shared
between keying and auto-keying. Some were only used for
auto-keying.
To clarify that, prefix flags that used exclusively in one or the other
system with `AUTOKEY`/`MANUALKEY`
Also the flag name on the user preferences and the tool settings was renamed.
Previously it was called `autokey_flag`. To indicated that it is not only used
for autokeying, rename it `keying_flag`.

This was missed during #113504
While the versioning code set the flags correctly,
the defaults were not specified correctly.
This would leave new users to key only location.
Fix it by enabling Location, Rotation, Scale and
Custom Properties by default.

Since changing the reference color space to XYZ E, there was some imprecision
in color space conversions.
Change the XYZ D65 to Linear Rec.709 conversion matrix very slightly to avoid
values rounding the wrong way.

When animators want to key something in the viewport,
the code needs to know *which properties* should be keyed of that selected thing.
So far that was done with keying sets, and a pop-up that let's
you choose the keying set to use. You can get rid of the popup by
choosing a keying set ahead of time. But that is also not always desirable.
That pop-up is quite confusing and gives way too many options.
To simplify this process this PR adds a User Preference option to choose one or more of:
* Location
* Rotation
* Scale
* Rotation Mode
* Custom Properties
Now whenever the `I` key is pressed in the viewport,
and no keying set is enabled, it reads the preferences for which channels to insert.
# User Facing changes
* The popup will not be shown when pressing the hotkey,
but you can still explicitly use keying sets by going to the menu
* Which channels are keyed is defined by a User Preference setting under animation
* when a keying set is used explicitly, the User Preference settings are ignored

Seems that the ExponentWithLinearTransform with offset=0 does not render
properly on GPU on Apply Silicon GPUs. Likely, it is possible to use plain
ExponentTransform in this case, which should also be faster.
Candidate for 4.0.1 corrective release.

Mostly just the result of running `blender_icons_update.py` without adding or changing any icon source files. Removal of three unused icons and adding three others to the project to resolve conflicts between them.

Changes to edit mode mesh overlays, use hue shift instead of color
fading/darkening for selection mode visual differentiation, and some
theme changes to improve the display of mesh edges and faces with good
selection visibility.
- Removed "edge" toggle from edit mode overlays panel.
- No longer halves the edge and face alpha depending on selection mode.
Half the face alpha in wire-frame mode. For better visibility on most
themes.

The last good commit was 8474716abb.
After this commits from main were pushed to blender-v4.0-release. These are
being reverted.
Commits a4880576dc from to b26f176d1a that happend afterwards were meant for
4.0, and their contents is preserved.
AgX exhibited some banding-like artifacts that were due to being
approximated with a 3D LUT. This commit resolves that by increasing
the LUT resolution enough to mitigate the artifacts and make them
unnoticeable.
Additionally:
- The previous LUTs were written in a space-inefficient way, using
e.g. "0.000000" instead of "0". The new LUTs are written more
efficiently, avoiding quite as dramatic a file size increase as
usually accompanies 3D LUT resolution increases.
- The previous LUTs included output values greater than 1.0, which was
both incorrect for a tone mapper, and also pointless since Blender
immediately clips them anyway. The new LUTs clip to 1.0. This also
allows the more efficient writing to squeeze even more space savings
out of the LUTs.
- The previous inverse AgX LUT contained NaNs. Those have been
replaced with 0.0 in the new inverse LUT.
Note that due to discrepancies between the LUTs previously provided
to Blender and the AgX scripts that were later published, the color
transform in these LUTs are slightly different. But they are close, and
equivalently good.

Currently retiming is quite awkward, when you need to retime multiple
strips strips in sync. It is possible to use meta strips, but this is
still not great. This is resolved by implementing selection.
General changes:
Gizmos are removed, since they are designed to operate only on active
strip and don't support selection.
Transform operator code is implemented for retiming data, which allows
more sophisticated manipulation.
Instead of drawing marker-like symbols, keyframes are drawn to
represent retiming data. Retiming handles are now called keys. To have
consistent names, DNA structures have been renamed.
Retiming data is drawn on strip as overlay.
UI changes:
Retiming tool is removed. To edit retiming data, press Ctrl + R, select
a key and move it. When retiming is edited, retiming menu and
context menu shows more relevant features, like making transitions.
Strip and retiming key selection can not be combined. It is possible to
use box select operator to select keys, if any key is selected.
Otherwise strips are selected.
Adding retiming keys is possible with I shortcut or from menu.
Retiming keys are always drawn at strip left and right boundary. These
keys do not really exist until they are selected. This is to simplify
retiming of strips that are resized. These keys are called "fake keys"
in code.
API changes:
Functions, properties and types related to retiming handles are renamed
to retiming keys:
retiming_handle_add() -> retiming_key_add()
retiming_handle_move() -> retiming_key_move()
retiming_handle_remove() -> retiming_key_remove()
retiming_handles -> retiming_keys
RetimingHandle -> RetimingKey
Retiming editing "mode" is activated by setting `Sequence.show_retiming_keys`.

Fixed by using a slightly transparent white color that blends
correctly with the background of text inputs and list items.
Also use the same colors in the Text Editor for consistency in both
Dark and Light themes.
Instead of four discrete thumbnail sizes, allow the user to instantly
zoom to any integer size from 16-256. This also changes the default to
96 from the current 128.

As concluded in discussion under #109439, the View Item widgets are

This was hard coded to 8, which can still result in a number that
jitters making the overall FPS difficult to measure.
The default is still 8, but this is now a preference that can be
increased for values that don't jitter as much.
This PR shrinks the Filmic LUT's size down without causing noticeable
difference, making the overall LUT package size smaller. There should be no
functional change on the user end.

On a user level this view transform provides much better handling of colors in
the over-exposed areas.
With this configuration the following display devices are available, including
AgX view transform for them:
* sRGB
* Display P3
* Rec.1886
* Rec.2020
NOTE: There is no Filmic view transform available for the newly added display
devices.
AgX also brings an implementation of False Colors view transform, which replaces
Filmic-based, and is available for all display devices.
The backward compatibility is preserved. The new files will default to AgX view
transform, which makes it non-forward compatible.
More technical details is available in the original PR #106355.
Please note that the PR has been split into more incremental changes when
was landing.
