Change the package base name of the Go code, from
`git.blender.org/flamenco` to `projects.blender.org/studio/flamenco`.
The old location, `git.blender.org`, has no longer been use since the
[migration to Gitea][1]. The new package names now reflect the actual
location where Flamenco is hosted.

Split "executable" from "its arguments" in blender & ffmpeg commands.
Use `{blenderArgs}` variable to hold the default Blender arguments,
instead of having both the executable and its arguments in `{blender}`.
The reason for this is to support backslashes in the Blender executable
path. These were interpreted as escape characters by the shell lexer.
The shell lexer based splitting is now only performed on the default
arguments, with the result that `C:\Program Files\Blender
Foundation\3.3\blender.exe` is now a valid value for `{blender}`.
This does mean that this is backward incompatible change, and that it
requires setting up Flamenco Manager again, and that older jobs will not
be able to be rerun.
It is recommended to remove `flamenco-manager.yaml`, restart Flamenco
Manager, and reconfigure via the setup assistant.
Two-way variable replacement now also changes the path separators. Since
the two-way replacement is made for paths, it makes sense to also clean up
the path for the target platform.
Remove the `{ffmpeg}` variable from the default configuration, and its use
from the job compiler scripts. Now that the Worker can find its bundled
FFmpeg, it's no longer needed to configure its location on the Manager.
Two-way variable implementation in the job submission end-point. Where
Flamenco v2 did the variable replacement in the add-on, this has now
been moved to the Manager itself. The only thing the add-on needs to
pass is its platform, so that the right values can be recognised.
This also implements two-way replacement when tasks are handed out, such
that the `{jobs}` value gets replaced to a value suitable for the
Worker's platform as well.
The task logs storage system is refactored to use the `local_storage`
package. Configuration options have also changed:
- `task_logs_path` is renamed to `local_manager_storage_path`, to
emphasise that only the Manager deals with those files, with default
value `./flamenco-manager-storage`.
- `storage_path` is renamed to `shared_storage_path`, to emphasise this
is the storage shared between Manager and Workers, with default value
`./flamenco-shared-storage`.
Task logs are still stored in
`${local_manager_storage_path}/job-{jobUUID[0:4]}/{jobUUID}/task-{taskUUID}.txt`
Manifest task: T99409
Flamenco Manager now has a "storage path" config option, which will be
used by Shaman if enabled. Now the `{jobs}` implicit variable will always
exist, its value depending on whether Shaman is enabled or not.
When a variable is found in the config file, with the same name as an
implicit variable, it will be removed from the configuration (i.e. implicit
ones always win). A warning is logged when this happens.
This allows the Blender add-on to submit jobs at path
`{jobs}/path/file.blend`. Due to the nature of the system, the add-on
doesn't know (and shouldn't know) where exactly the Manager has its
Shaman storage.
A boolean provides less context to the setting, so it's not as easy to
understand. However, in this case the simple case will have `is_twoway=false` and be ommitted from the configuration file. This makes the simple case even simpler.
The add-on code was copy-pasted from other addons and used the GPL v2
license, whereas by accident the LICENSE text file had the GNU "Affero" GPL
license v3 (instead of regular GPL v3).
This is now all streamlined, and all code is licensed as "GPL v3 or later".
Furthermore, the code comments just show a SPDX License Identifier
instead of an entire license block.
