Py API Doc: add runtime changelog generation to `sphinx_doc_gen.py`.
Optionally use `sphinx_changelog_gen.py` to dump current version of the
API in a JSON file, and use closest previous one listed in given index
file to create a changelog RST page for Sphinx.

Py API Doc: refactor changelog generation script.
Main change is to make it use JSON format for its dump files, instead of
some Python code.
It also introduces an index for those API dump files, mapping a blender
version to the relevant file path.
This is then used to automatically the most recent (version-number wise)
previous API dump to compare against current one, when generating the
change log RST file.
It can be assumed that all scripts comply with basic pep8 formatting
regarding white-space, indentation etc.
Also remove note in best practices page & update `tests/python/pep8.py`.
If we want to exclude some scripts from make format,
this can be done by adding them to `ignore_files` in:
source/tools/utils_maintenance/autopep8_format_paths.py
Or using `# nopep8` for to ignore for individual lines.

Adding a scroll-bar to in-line lists has the down-side that it cuts
of text including warnings or notes that can be included, see: T87008.
Now enums are referenced [0] this is no longer needed, reverting [1].

Avoid in-lining large enums such as icons and event types, linking
to them instead.
This mitigates T76453, where long enums took a lot of space in the docs,
this was a problem with `UILayout` where each icon argument would list
all icons. [0] worked around the issue using CSS to scroll the list.
However this has the draw-back where some items are clipped in a way
that's not obvious, see: T87008.
The reason this isn't a complete solution is that Python defined enums
aren't written into their own pages which can be linked to, although
currently there are no large Python enums included in the API docs.
All in-lined enums are now under 20 items.
[0]: 1e8f266591
Create a page for every enum in RNA_enum_items.h, which includes
the enum values and the doc-string for each item.
Each page creates a references which the API reference can be linked to
via the same name as the enum, so :ref:`rna_enum_icon_items` links
to the list of icons for e.g.
This has two main advantages:
- No need to manually duplicate enum values in the doc-strings of
functions defined in Python's C/API (not RNA defined functions),
`bpy.props` for example.
- The generated Python API docs can reference these instead of including
the enums in-line - resulting in unreasonably long lists in the case
if icons and event types (for example).
These changes will be made separately.
RenderEngine.render is both a method and an attribute,
while this should be avoided it's not causing a problem in practice
so quiet the warning when generating docs.
Sphinx now builds docs without any warnings.
Accessing context members depended on `ctypes` to access symbols
which were hidden for macOS & WIN32.
Add an API call that doesn't require the symbols to be exported.
This allows most symbols to be hidden on Linux, see D14971.
Adds an example python script to the documentation for the 3D_IMAGE shader.
The **use-case** is to draw textures with 3D vertex positions, in XR views as well as non-XR views (in a simpler manner).
**Testing**: I've tested that this compiles and works on my Macbook (with the example python script included in this change). I don't have access to a Windows or Linux machine right now, but this change doesn't look platform-specific and no new glsl shaders have been added or edited by this change. I'll try to get access to a Windows machine, but if someone does have one, I'd be really grateful if they could try this change. Thanks!
**Problem addressed**: The existing 2D_IMAGE shader (exposed in the python API) gets near-clipped when drawn in the
XR view, regardless of the near-clip settings. Additionally, the 2D_IMAGE shader only accepts 2D
positions for the image vertices, which means drawing textures in 3D requires providing
2D coordinates and then pushing a transform-rotate-scale matrix to the GPU, even for
non-XR (i.e. WINDOW) views. The 3D_IMAGE shader is simpler: it accepts 3D vertex positions, and doesn't require
any additional work by the scripter.
**Workaround**: The current workaround is to use custom shaders in the python script.
**Non-intrusive change**: No new glsl shaders were added. This change just bundles two existing shaders: the vertex shader used
by the 3D_IMAGE_MODULATE_ALPHA shader, and the fragment shader used by the 2D_IMAGE shader.

When a new key is added to the context, it also needs to be added to the
`sphinx_doc_gen.py` file for generating the Python API documentation.
When this isn't done, the script would raise a generic `KeyError`. Now
it explains what needs to be updated to solve the problem.
No functional changes to Blender.
This patch adds a "selected_movieclip_tracks" context member and enables
editing properties of multiple selected tracks via the usual Alt-click
editing (as well as the "Copy To Selected" operator). Both use
UI_context_copy_to_selected_list() to gather a list of other selected
items [which are now taken via said new context member]. Strictly
speaking, this could be done without the context member as well [just
gathering other selected tracks in UI_context_copy_to_selected_list()
without relying on a context member], but this might come in handy in
other places (e.g. Addons).
note: some could be desired for markers (e.g. editing pattern/search
areas of all selected track markers, but since this is burried in a
uiTemplate, this is a bit more work for another patch).

With this it is possible to select any number of assets in the Asset
Browser and drag them into catalogs. The assets will be moved to that
catalog then. However, this will only work in the "Current File" asset
library, since that is the only library that allows changing assets,
which is what's done here.
While dragging assets over the tree row, a tooltip is shown explaining
what's going to happen.
In preparation to this, the new UI tree-view API was already extended
with custom drop support, see 4ee2d9df42.
----
Changes here to the `wmDrag` code were needed to support dragging multiple
assets. Some of it is considered temporary because a) a proper #AssetHandle
design should replace some ugly parts of this patch and b) the multi-item
support in `wmDrag` isn't that great yet. The entire API will have to be
written anyway (see D4071).

Combining location, rotation and scale channels into a matrix is
a standard task, so while it is easily accomplished by constructing
and multiplying 3 matrices, having a standard utility allows for
more clear code.
The new constructor builds a 4x4 matrix from separate location,
rotation and scale values. Rotation can be represented as a 3x3
Matrix, Quaternion or Euler value, while the other two inputs
are vectors. Unneeded inputs can be replaced with None.

Blender 3.0 is now in bcon1 (alpha).
There are likely a few places in Blender and the automated building pipeline
that may fail since we are switching our versioning number system.
For example, at the moment the splash and the status bar are showing
3.00.0, and it should show 3.1.0.
I suspect the Python API, version used to report a bug, buildname, are
all wrong too. These will be handled later.
Files that only contain a doc-string still included the last blank line,
since this normally contains code examples.
There are some cases where only a docstring exists
which made sphinx report warnings.
This patch adds a to_curve method to the Object ID. This method is
analogous to the to_mesh method. The method can operate on curve and
text objects. For text objects, the text is converted into a 3D Curve ID
and that curve is returned. For curve objects, if apply_modifiers is
true, the spline deform modifiers will be applied and a Curve ID with
the result will be returned, otherwise a copy of the curve will be
returned.
The goal of this addition is to allow the developer to access the splines
of text objects and to get the result of modifier applications which was
otherwise not possible.
