The name and tooltip were talking about file-lists, which exposes the
fact that the Asset Browser uses the File Browser code in the UI, which
we shouldn't do. This can confuse users.
Instead have a dedicated operator for the Asset Browser with a proper

This patch adds support for selecting pointclouds.
Since pointclouds were not properly drawn to the selection buffer (as diagonsed by output from `glReadPixels` and Renderdoc), they were not able to be selectable by depth picking or occlusion queries. In `basic_engine`, objects were rendered with a shader which draws to a depth buffer but only assumes a single position vertex attribute. Pointclouds, though, require at least another vertex attribute `pos_inst` which provides the instance offsets. Thus, this patch adds another shader variant for pointclouds which supports these two attributes and renders the points appropriately.

These nodes allow accessing and changing the stable/random ID used
for motion blur with instances and stable randomness.
Since rB40c3b8836b7a, the stable ID is a built-in attribute, so to be

attributes, it has get and set nodes.
Now that object assets are no longer considered experimental, the Assets

experimental feature).
In the 3D Viewport, add an "Assets" submenu to the Objects menu, for the
same operators as available in the outliner: Mark as Asset, Clear Asset,
Clear Asset (Set Fake User).
Since object assets are still considered experimental, the menu is only
shown when the Extended Asset Browser experimental feature is enabled.
In future use cases, a volume can contain many grids that represent the
density information. In this case, it's better if the volume to mesh node
creates a mesh based on all of the grids in the volume.
This is also a benefit to share-ability, since one doesn't have to
specify the grid name in the node. Instead, in the future we can have
a way to split particular grids into separate volumes, if only one
grid should be considered.
The code changes are relatively simple:
- Move the old volume to mesh node to the legacy folder.
- Run the volume to mesh node on all instance geometry, like elsewhere.
- Make the blenkernel's volume to mesh API a bit more specific.

This patch makes the background grid of the node editor a grid of dots
instead of lines. This makes the background look a bit more subtle and
reduces visual complexity. The dots are meant to provide a reference
when panning and zooming. Based on the design of @pablovazquez, and
a patch originally authored by @fabian_schempp.
The "Grid Levels" controls how many levels of dots are drawn. As the
editor zooms in, the higher levels of dots fade in, making them closer
together visually. The zoom factor at which each grid starts and ends
fading in is controllable in the code, and could be tweaked further
in the future. The new default value is 7, out of a range from 0 to 9.

This adds a new image texture node for geometry nodes. It does not
reuse the same node that is used in shading, because we want to be
able to expose the image and frame as sockets.
There is a known update issue when a movie or image sequence is
used. That will be fixed separately (also see D12957).
Currently, the image socket is just a pointer to an Image ID data block.
This can contain single images but also movies and image sequences.
In the future, the definition of an image socket can be expanded to
include images that are generated from scratch in the node tree.
For more details read the discussion in D12827.
Some of the code is a direct port from cycles and should be cleaned
up a bit in the future. For example `image_cubic_texture_lookup`.
For still images, the frame input is ignored. Otherwise, the frame
has to be in a valid range for the node to work. In the future we
may add e.g. automatic looping functionality.

Adds a filter popup to the header that allows specifiying which data-block

shows a checkbox for materials, worlds and actions currently by default, and
all ID types with the "Extended Asset Browser" experimental feature enabled.
The checkboxes integrate better with the surrounding layout and are not that

so the icons could be displayed. But this does it just like the Outliner filter
settings: Show the icon before the checkbox.
Also widen the popover a bit to fit longer labels (didn't fit before this patch

Back in Blender 2.30, the GUI project brought panels into Blender among other important visual updates.
For the first time it was possible to move the wall of buttons around. Providing a clear separation
between sections (it even allowed the grouping of panels in tabs!)
During the 2.5 redesign, the separation between panels became a line on top of each panel, and panels received
theme settings for background and header colors. The default theme used the same color for both.
In 2.8 the background color of panels was different from headers in the default theme, so the separator
line was removed. While the separator line wasn't elegant (only on top, non-themeable, hard-coded emboss effect),
it provided a sort of separation between panels.
This patch solves the panels-separation by simply adding a margin space around them (not visible in default theme yet).
Even though the margin reduces the width of the working area slightly, it makes room for the upcoming always-visible scrollbars.
Other adjustments:
* Use arrow icon instead of triangle to collapse/expand
* Use rounded corners to match the rest of the UI (editor corners, nodes, etc).

Margin on panels makes use of the `style->panelouter` property that hasn't been
