Use File Handlers to handle file drag-n-drop in the View 3d. Drop-boxes
still remain since they handle Texture ID drag-n-drop.
This will add-ons to handle drag-n-drop for images and movies while
still providing access to Blender's native support since File Handlers
let users choose which to invoke if there's multiple configured.

This PR introduces the ability for users to switch between boolean
solvers while using the sculpt *Trim* tools (*Box Trim* & *Lasso Trim*)
much like the mesh boolean modifier and geometry node. Because the
*Exact* solver has performance issues with larger meshes, the *Fast*
solver is set to be the default.
In my very rough timing tests on my laptop on a mesh with **1.7m**
vertices, a *Trim* operation with the *Fast* solver finishes in roughly
20 seconds as opposed to still being in progress after five minutes
with the *Exact* solver.
Addresses part of #84229

This adds a new exprimental option to automatically convert GP legacy
data to GPv3 one.
It supports also linking and appending cases. Conversion also happens
when opening a file linking GP legacy data saved by an older .blendfile.

a958ae36e8 introduced support for UI lists to reference items that would
never be shown, regardless of filter settings. This was to skip assets
in the asset view template that were not of the requested type. UI list
sorting code wasn't updated to account for such items that should be
entirely ignored.

Replace: `{BLENDER_RESOURCE_PATH_USER}/extensions`
With: `{BLENDER_USER_EXTENSIONS}`
This follows BLENDER_USER_CONFIG & BLENDER_USER_SCRIPTS conventions.
Reading the environment variable and accessible via
`bpy.utils.user_resource('SCRIPTS')`
This was only used on WIN32 when the temporary directory didn't exist.
When the check was added [0] this made some sense because it relied on
`U.tempdir` existing, since then additional checks have been added to
ensure a temporary directory can be used. Further, this fall-back
location isn't documented in the user manual.

The Volume input of the world didn't show up inside the property panel.
Reason was that the panel didn't have EEVEE-Next inside its list of compatible
engines.

When loading an add-on without a __file__ set the "cause" was empty.
Now the modules __path__ is included (when available) which points
to the path that failed to load to help with troubleshooting.
Although this error isn't specific to extensions, extensions containing
a blender_manifest.toml but no __init__.py would import a module
with the __file__ set to None.
While there is logic to handle this case, it didn't account for modules
already in sys.modules with __file__ set to None.
From a user perspective enabling the extension silently failed raising
an error on the second attempt to enable.
Smooth transparent shadows by jittering their opacity threshold every
sample.
Always enabled on final renders, optionally enabled in the viewport with
`scene.eevee.shadow_jittered_transparency`.

Allow the user to scale shadow-map resolution per-light.
Adapt the PCF scale based on shadow-map to pixel footprint ratio,
since we can no longer assume that higher LODs don't need filtering.
This allows using much lower shadow resolutions, which can yield
quite significant performance improvements, with relatively little
perceptual quality loss (at the cost of softening shadow edges).
The per-light resolution scale is a literal scale, so for example 0.5
means half the resolution. The Scene Simplify Shadows setting has
been updated to match this behavior.

This uses Spherical Harmonics to store the indirect lighting and
distant lighting visibility.
We can then reuse this information for each closure which divide
the cost of it by 2 or 3 in many cases, doing the scanning once.
The storage cost is higher than previous method, so we split the
resolution scaling to be independant of raytracing.
The spatial filtering has been split to its own pass for performance
reason. Upsampling now only uses 4 bilinearly interpolated samples
(instead of 9) using bilateral weights to avoid bleeding.
This also add a missing dot product (which soften the lighting
around corners) and fixes the blocky artifacts seen at lower
resolution.

Don't assume armature of active object is what is displayed in the properties editor, both in C++ and Python code.
Object pointer was left out from some notifiers, as this means only that object was changed. But an armature datablock can be shared by multiple objects.

A tone mapper designed specifically for PBR color accuracy, to get sRGB
colors in the output render that match as faithfully as possible the input
sRGB baseColor under gray-scale lighting. This is aimed toward product
photography use cases, where the scene is well-exposed and HDR color values
are mostly restricted to small specular highlights.

Experimental flag for "Extensions Development Utilities" that can be
enabled separately from "Extensions". Note this PR does not enable the
use of this flag (coming later) as uses are in addons-contrib. This
flag is requested in #119521

With default sizes the Timeline "Playback" popover clips the text of

Layer masks were partly already there. This PR completes the implementation and expose them through the UI.
This also adds three operators to:
- add a layer mask
- remove a layer mask
- reorder layer masks
Note: These are not used by the renderer yet. Will be done in a following PR.
