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.

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.

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.

Layer masks were partly already there. This PR completes the implementation and expose them through the UI.

- reorder layer masks

EEVEE-Next performes less on integrated GPUs then discrete GPUs.
Most shaders have been analyzed, but there will always be bottlenecks
related to architectural differences.
In order to make EEVEE-Next run smooth on integrated GPUs this change
will implement viewport pixel size option similar to Cycles. The main difference
is that the samples will still be weighted and up-sampled to the final film
resolution. This makes the pixels not look squared in the viewport but will
resolve to something close to the results without up-scaling.
This improves the performance especially on integrated GPUs. The improvement
for discrete GPUs are less noticeable. See here the stats when playing
`rain_restaurant.blend` back on a RAPHAEL_MENDOCINO iGPU.
| Pixel size | Frames per second |
|------------|-------------------|
| 1x | 0.25 FPS |
| 2x | 4.14 FPS |
| 4x | 6.90 FPS |
| 8x | 9.95 FPS |

The core of the issue was that `sculpt_flag` was used by three different enums (`eGP_Sculpt_Flag`, `eGP_Sculpt_Mode_Flag`, and `eBrushFlags`). This resulted in the flag getting overriden because `ENUM_OPERATORS` expected the maximum value of `eGP_Sculpt_Flag` to be `(1 << 3)` which it wasn't.
The `sculpt_flag` was exposed through python as `"direction"`.
In the UI this meant that it was effectively used as `brush.direction`. This fix replaces `brush.gpencil_settings.direction` with `brush.direction`.
It also makes sure `sculpt_flag` is only ever used with values from `eGP_Sculpt_Flag`.

This commit adds the `SCULPT_OT_hide_show_lasso_gesture` and the
corresponding Lasso Hide tool.
* Exposes the selection type for both the lasso and box hide tools
as a option in the header
* Adds functionality into `sculpt_gesture.cc` for handling lasso
selections with the `Outside` selection type
For `SelectionType::Outside`, the current implementation opts to not
do any filtering on the PBVH node level due to cases where the node
is mostly covered by a single gesture.

As part of #118623, we discovered that the operator used for adding images in the 3D viewport was not the same when drag and dropping as when adding it from the add menu. This lead to different and potentially confusing behaviour for the user when they use both.
This patch removes the python operator and unifies the functionality into one operator. It also renames the operator to be in line with the other "Add X" object operators.

Add support for add-ons to define commands using the new argument
`-c` or `--command`.
Commands behave as follows:
- Passing in a command enables background mode without the need to pass
in `--background`.
- All arguments following the command are passed to the command
(without the need to use the `--` argument).
- Add-ons can define their own commands via
`bpy.utils.register_cli_command` (see examples in API docs).
- Passing in `--command help` lists all available commands.

This PR migrates the existing `PAINT_OT_hide_show` operator to the
previously extracted `gesture` namespace performed in #118881
The current operator has support for choosing whether the hide / show
action is performed on every vertex inside or outside the selection
area. This has been added to the common gesture functionality too,
but no common operator property has been exposed for it for the other
Lasso / Box tools to use.
Other modes of the current "hide_show" operator have been split
into separate operators: `PAINT_OT_hide_show_all` and
`PAINT_OT_hide_show_masked`.

- `Ctrl`-`V` for paste
- `Ctrl`-`Shift`-`V` for paste in the back (behind all existing strokes)

This fixes#116096 and is based on #115249 with some changes.
This patch contains three changes:
* `NodeSocket.links` in the Python API gives the links in the correct order.
* `NodeLink.multi_input_sort_id` gives read-only access to an id that's used
for sorting. Note that for historical reasons the highest id is the first link.
* `NodeLink.swap_multi_input_sort_id(other_link)` provides a safe way to
change the order of links connected to a multi-input socket.

Add percentage closer filtering to shadowmap sampling and a
`shadow_filter_radius` property to lights to control it.
Notes:
* This adds PCF to `eevee_shadow_tracing_lib`, but not to
`eevee_shadow_lib`, which is used by volumes (not required) and
thickness.
* PCF is computed based on the LOD0 size. This assumes that higher
LODs are only used when the shadowmap resolution is actually good
enough to match the render resolution.

Pose-mode selection tools (box, lasso & circle select) now support
pose-mode when weight-painting.
Changes to the key-map [0] caused a regression where it was no longer
possible to select multiple bones because Shift-LMB is now used for
painting. The report #114981 proposes to support pose selection tools
in weight paint mode.
Note that in [1] added the tweak tool, this completes the change by
supporting other tools & fixing W-key shortcut access.

Various fixes to operator preset cleanup:
- Only remove properties that match exactly the properties to exclude
exactly (taking word boundaries into account).
- When the preset path doesn't exist, don't construct paths relative
to the working directory.
- Enforce UTF8 encoded text.
Other minor changes:
- Rename "properties" to "properties_exclude" for clarity.
- Use single underscore for private methods.
- Match each line against a single regex instead of constructing a
string and checking startswith(..) for every property to exclude.
- Use os instead of pathlib, as us used in blender's built in operators
that handle paths.
- Prefer doc-string over bl_description.
- Double quote strings.
- Use single indentation for lists to reduce right-shift.
