This project moves the current UV/Image editor drawing to the draw manager.
Why would we do this:
**Performance**:
Current implementation would draw each texel per time. Multiple texels could be
drawn per pixel what would overwrite the previous result. You can notice this
when working with large textures. Repeat image drawing made this visible by
drawing for a small period of time and stop drawing the rest. Now the rendering
is fast and all repeated images are drawn.
**Alpha drawing**:
Current implementation would draw directly in display space. Giving incorrect
results when displaying alpha transparent images.
This addresses {T52680}, {T74709}, {T79518}
The image editor now can show emission only colors. See {D8234} for
examples.
**Current Limitations**
Using images that are larger than supported by your GPU are resized (eg larger
than 16000x16000 are resized to 8k). This leaves some blurring artifacts. It is
a low priority to add support back of displaying individual pixels of huge
images. There is a design task {T80113} with more detail.
**Implementation overview**
Introduced an Image Engine in the draw module. this engine is responsible for
drawing the texture in the main area of the UV/Image editor. The overlay engine
has a edit_uv overlay which is responsible to draw the UV's, shadows and
overlays specifically for the UV Image editor. The background + checker pattern
is drawn by the overlay_background.
The patch will allow us to share overlays between the 3d viewport and UV/Image
editor more easily. In most cases we just need to switch the `pos` with the `u`
attribute in the vertex shader.
The project can be activated in the user preferences as experimental features.
In a later commit this will be reversed.

This is a general redesign of the File Browser GUI and interaction
methods. For screenshots, check patch D5601.
Main changes in short:
* File Browser as floating window
* New layout of regions
* Popovers for view and filter options
* Vertical list view with interactive column header
* New and updated icons
* Keymap consistency fixes
* Many tweaks and fixes to the drawing of views
----
General:
* The file browser now opens as temporary floating window. It closes on
Esc. The header is hidden then.
* When the file browser is opened as regular editor, the header remains
visible.
* All file browser regions are now defined in Python (the button
layout).
* Adjusted related operator UI names.
Keymap:
Keymap is now consistent with other list-based views in Blender, such as
the Outliner.
* Left click to select, double-click to open
* Right-click context menus
* Shift-click to fill selection
* Ctrl-click to extend selection
Operator options:
These previously overlapped with the source list, which caused numerous
issues with resizing and presenting many settings in a small panel area.
It was also generally inconsistent with Blender.
* Moved to new sidebar, which can easily be shown or hidden using a
prominent Options toggle.
* IO operators have new layouts to match this new sidebar, using
sub-panels. This will have to be committed separately (Add-on
repository).
* If operators want to show the options by default, they have the option
to do so (see `WM_FILESEL_SHOW_PROPS`, `hide_props_region`), otherwise
they are hidden by default.
General Layout:
The layout has been changed to be simpler, more standard, and fits
better in with Blender 2.8.
* More conventional layout (file path at top, file name at the bottom,
execute/cancel buttons in bottom right).
* Use of popovers to group controls, and allow for more descriptive
naming.
* Search box is always live now, just like Outliner.
Views:
* Date Modified column combines both date and time, also uses user
friendly strings for recent dates (i.e. "Yesterday", "Today").
* Details columns (file size, modification date/time) are now toggleable
for all display types, they are not hardcoded per display type.
* File sizes now show as B, KB, MB, ... rather than B, KiB, MiB, … They
are now also calculated using base 10 of course.
* Option to sort in inverse order.
Vertical List View:
* This view now used a much simpler single vertical list with columns
for information.
* Users can click on the headers of these columns to order by that
category, and click again to reverse the ordering.
Icons:
* Updated icons by Jendrzych, with better centering.
* Files and folders have new icons in Icon view.
* Both files and folders have reworked superimposed icons that show
users the file/folder type.
* 3D file documents correctly use the 3d file icon, which was unused
previously.
* Workspaces now show their icon on Link/Append - also when listed in
the Outliner.
Minor Python-API breakage:
* `bpy.types.FileSelectParams.display_type`: `LIST_SHORT` and
`LIST_LONG` are replaced by `LIST_VERTICAL` and `LIST_HORIZONTAL`.
Removes the feature where directories would automatically be created if
they are entered into the file path text button, but don't exist. We
were not sure if users use it enough to keep it. We can definitely bring
it back.

Adds a toggle to the filter menu for outliner synced selection. Enabled
by default, this ensures selection is synced between objects, bones, and
sequences. An active outliner element theme color is added to indicate
which element is active.
Synced selection is controlled on the operator level. Each operator
that modifies selection for objects, bones, sequences, or outliner
elements needs to call the respective ED_outliner_select_sync_from..
function to tag outliners to be synced.
Syncing is done lazily on outliner draw.
Use full saturation (since some intensity is lost when blending),
Set blend back to 0.5, made color look dull which isn't good when
some of the colors are similar (faded orange/yellow).
- Make edges darker in vert & face select mode (making more
contrast to not loose the topology). Downside is less select
edges visibility in vertex mode. But I'm confident that it's not
as painfull as it seems.
- Make select faces less saturated to have more color contrast
between select faces and edges.
- Make unselected faces white to increase contrast with faces and
edges. The brightening is negligeable for bright surfaces and
help readability on darker surfaces. Reminder that if the faces
overlays are too distracting (i.e: uv mapping, or texturing) they
can be toggled off in the overlay panel.

Helps to:
* Make a connection between what we see in Outliner, Viewport and Properties editor

* Quickly tell which mode we are in.
* Armatures have now distinct color when in Object, Edit, and Pose modes.
Missing is Pose mode which is currently cyan in the viewport and obdata category in properties,
it would probably need its own special category though as it doesn't match the others.
The main reason for this change is to allow setting the
active frame with the left mouse button, while still being
able to select e.g. keyframes with the same mouse button.

Fix for T59219 was using low alpha-light grey for text background
so editing text would always be slightly brighter then the existing
background.
This causes outliner rename to have low alpha making text overlap
icons.

elements in the future.
By default the text button background color was a similar brightness
to the cursor, making it hard to see at times.
Button types number/slider/text background brightness when editing
varied quite a lot too.
- Change the background while editing to match the number button.
- Darken the selection for greater contrast.
Resolves T59219
One issue that especially newer users often run into is that they accidentally reset changes to the scene by switching frame without creating a keyframe first.
Therefore, this commit adds a new color that is used to draw properties if their current value differs from the one that would be set when switching to this frame.
This works both for existing keyframes as well as for currently interpolated frames.
Unfortunately the flags in but->flag are full, so I had to move the new flag to but->drawflag and pass that to all relevant functions.
I went with orange for the color since afaics it fits with the green and yellow that are currently used for keyframe states and since it's somewhat reddish to signify that there might be something to look out for here.

With the new automatic handle algorithm, it is possible to do a lot
of the animation via keyframes without touching the curves. It is
however necessary to change the keyframe interpolation and handle
types in certain cases. Currently the dopesheet/action editor
allows changing the types, but does not show them in any way.
To fix, add a new menu option to display this information. For handle
type, it is represented using the shape of the key icons: diamond for
Free, clipped diamond for Aligned, square for Vector, circle for Auto
Clamp, and cirle with dot for Automatic.
Non-bezier interpolation is a property of intervals between keys,
so it is marked by drawing lines, similar to holds. In this initial
version, only the fact of non-bezier interpolation is displayed,
without distinguishing types. For summaries, the line is drawn at
half alpha if not all curves in the group are non-bezier.
In addition, it is sometimes helpful to know the general direction
of change of the curve, and which keys are extremes. This commit
also adds an option to highlight extremes, based on comparing the
keyed values with adjacent keys. Half-intensity display is used
for overshot bezier extremes, or non-uniform summaries.
