Refactor D14646 to use context.active_action for the Action
Custom Properties panel, matching the already existing Action panel.
This has the advantage that it allows access to the properties of
any actions with channels visible in the Dope Sheet, e.g. Shape Keys,
Materials etc; while using just the active object is limited to just
the object animation.
Also move both panels from Item to the Action tab.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D15288
Although e.g. in the dopesheet there is no specific concept of
active action, displaying panels requires singling out one action
reference. It is more efficient and clearer to implement this
natively in the context rather than using selected_visible_actions[0].
- In the Action Editor the action is taken from the header.
- In the Dope Sheet the first selected action is chosen, because
there is no concept of an active channel or keyframe.
- In the Graph Editor the action associated with the active curve
is used, which should also be associated with the active vertex.
This case may be different from selected_visible_actions[0].

Adds a custom property panel for the active `Action` to the Dopesheet
editor. There was previously no way to edit these properties outside of
the Python API.
This panel will show up when
`context.active_object.animation_data.action` is set.

Add the Discontinuity (Euler) Filter operator to the Dope Sheet->Key
menu, so it's not only available from the Graph Editor->Key menu. On
request of @pablico, see T95386.
This required changing a poll function which is used by a bunch of other
operators, which seemed scary at first, but my thinking is that if an
operator can execute in the Graph Editor, then it should also be able to
execute in the Dope Sheet. I think the only reason this wouldn't be true
is if we were storing animation data in the UI itself, which of course
we don't. So I hope this is okay.

Motion paths can now be initialised to more sensible frame ranges,
rather than simply 1-250:
- Scene Frame Range
- Selected Keyframes
- All Keyframes
The Motion Paths operators are now also added to the Object context menu
and the Dopesheet context menu.
The scene range operator was removed, because the operators now
automatically find the range when baking the motion paths.
The clear operator now appears separated in "Selected Only" and "All",
because it was not clear for the user what the button was doing.

Based on discussions from T95355 and T94193, the plan is to use
the name "Curves" to describe the data-block container for multiple
curves. Eventually this will replace the existing "Curve" data-block.
However, it will be a while before the curve data-block can be replaced
so in order to distinguish the two curve types in the UI, "Hair Curves"
will be used, but eventually changed back to "Curves".
This patch renames "hair-related" files, functions, types, and variable
names to this convention. A deep rename is preferred to keep code
consistent and to avoid any "hair" terminology from leaking, since the
new data-block is meant for all curve types, not just hair use cases.
The downside of this naming is that the difference between "Curve"
and "Curves" has become important. That was considered during
design discussons and deemed acceptable, especially given the
non-permanent nature of the somewhat common conflict.
Some points of interest:
- All DNA compatibility is lost, just like rBf59767ff9729.
- I renamed `ID_HA` to `ID_CV` so there is no complete mismatch.
- `hair_curves` is used where necessary to distinguish from the
existing "curves" plural.
- I didn't rename any of the cycles/rendering code function names,
since that is also used by the old hair particle system.

When a manual frame range is set, allow marking an action as having
Cyclic Animation. This does not affect how the action is evaluated,
but the Cycle-Aware Keying option will automatically make any newly
added F-Curves cyclic. This allows using the option from the start
to build the cycle, rather than only for tweaking an existing loop.
The curves are made cyclic when they have only one key, either
after inserting the first key, or before adding the second one.
The latter case avoids the need to manually make the first added
curve cyclic after marking a newly added action cyclic.

Some operations, e.g. adding a new action strip to NLA, require
knowing the active frame range of an action. However, currently it
can only be deduced by scanning the keyframes of the curves within
it. This is not ideal if e.g. curves are staggered for overlap.
As suggested by Nathan Vegdahl in comments to T54724, this patch adds
Action properties that allow manually specifying its active frame range.
The settings are exposed via a panel in the Dopesheet and Action Editor.
When enabled, the range is highlighted in the background using a striped
fill to distinguish it from the solid filled regular playback range.
When set, the frame range is used when adding or updating NLA tracks,
and by add-ons using `Action.frame_range`, e.g. FBX exporter.

#### Motivation
The View pie menu is a convenient way to access operators such as `Frame Selected` and `Frame All` which are usually mapped to `PERIOD` or `HOME` keys on the right side of most keyboard, making it hard hard to reach with the left hand.
The motivation for this patch comes from working with a 75% keyboard (no numpad). Most laptops face a similar problem.
#### Implementation
The View pie menu has been added to the following editors and sub-modes where applicable:
* Node Editor
* Video Sequencer
* Dopesheet
* Graph
* NLA
* Image
* Clip
* Outliner
More options could definitely be added to this menu for convenience, as long as it maintains the common options in the same place (Frame Selected on the left, Frame All on the right).
For positioning I went with the following layout:
{F11791186, size=full}
I've added `Zoom 1:1`to the Image Editor and the VSE Preview since there is no way to reset the zoom on keyboards without numpad (unless Emulate Numpad is turned on).
The Outliner uses `Show Active` and `Show Hierarchy` which are the closest ones to the equivalent in other editors. Should `Show Active` be renamed to `Frame Selected`?
The shortcut assigned is the same as the 3D Viewport (`ACCENT_GRAVE`).

These deprecation hints were intended for one release only, and thus can
be removed now.
Following with the changes included to interpolate strokes of different number of points, a full review has been done in the interpolation tools.
* Interpolate now is a tool and not an operator. It was not logic to have this tool as a button.
* Interpolate tool parameters have been moved to topbar.
* Interpolate popover has been removed from topbar and interpolate `Sequence` operator has been moved to grease pencil menu.
* Interpolate Sequence now include a Redo panel.
* Interpolate tool now allows to select the strokes by pairs. This allows to interpolate any stroke with any stroke and not as before that it was only possible by drawing order. If no stroke is selected, the interpolation is done as before.
* Now is possible interpolate again if a previous keyframe exist. Before, it was impossible to interpolate two times in same frame and this made impossible to do the interpolation by groups of frames.
* New automatic option to `Flip strokes` if the stroke and end are not in the right position. Also the flip can be set manually for corner cases.
* Cleanup of menus related to interpolate.
* Fixed some bugs and removed parameters from scene because now all are tool or operator contained.
* Some code cleanup and function renames.
This commit also includes the some codebase to future implementation of the concept `Vertex Active` that now does not exist in grease pencil.
The "Layers" panel for Grease Pencil objects uses sub-panels to organize

Partially reverts 2250b5cefee7.
Removing the user count and fake user count icons was controversial (which was
expected) and there are a few further changes needed, that won't make it in
time for the release, see D9946.
While there is a design to bring back the user count and fake user indicators,
a new design idea was proposed that the UI team wants to follow. This came too
late for the 2.92 release, the new design is targeted at the 2.93 release now.
Meanwhile, UI team decision was to simply revert the design changes.
The new design is being worked on in https://developer.blender.org/T84669.
Note that this commit does not revert some internal changes done in
2250b5cefee7. Namely the introduction of `ed_util_ops.c` and data-block
operators in there. These will still be needed in the new design.
The previous design is rather old and has a couple of problems:
* Scalability: The current solution of adding little icon buttons next to the
data-block name field doesn't scale well. It only works if there's a small
number of operations. We need to be able to place more items there for better
data-block management. Especially with the introduction of library overrides.
* Discoverability: It's not obvious what some of the icons do. They appear and
disappear, but it's not obvious why some are available at times and others
not.
* Unclear Status: Currently their library status (linked, indirectly linked,
broken link, library override) isn't really clear.
* Unusual behavior: Some of the icon buttons allow Shift or Ctrl clicking to
invoke alternative behaviors. This is not a usual pattern in Blender.
This patch does the following changes:
* Adds a menu to the right of the name button to access all kinds of operations
(create, delete, unlink, user management, library overrides, etc).
* Make good use of the "disabled hint" for tooltips, to explain why buttons are
disabled. The UI team wants to establish this as a good practise.
* Use superimposed icons for duplicate and unlink, rather than extra buttons
(uses less space, looks less distracting and is a nice + consistent design
language).
* Remove fake user and user count button, they are available from the menu now.
* Support tooltips for superimposed icons (committed mouse hover feedback to
master already).
* Slightly increase size of the name button - it was already a bit small
before, and the move from real buttons to superimposed icons reduces usable
space for the name itself.
* More clearly differentiate between duplicate and creating a new data-block.
The latter is only available in the menu.
* Display library status icon on the left (linked, missing library, overridden,
asset)
* Disables "Make Single User" button - in review we weren't sure if there are
good use-cases for it, so better to see if we can remove it.
Note that I do expect some aspects of this design to change still. I think some
changes are problematic, but others disagreed. I will open a feedback thread on
devtalk to see what others think.

shows a message when channel colors are disabled.
The old "Show Group Colors" toggle had to be set per editor, and was on

action for every file, for every editor. It is very hard to select a
color that works both as bone color in the 3D Viewport (needs to be
bright there) as well as the channel list (needs to be dark there), most
animators turn channel list colors off.
