8b9a3b94fc Refactor IDProperty UI data storage
The storage of IDProperty UI data (min, max, default value, etc) is
quite complicated. For every property, retrieving a single one of these
values involves three string lookups. First for the "_RNA_UI" group
property, then another for a group with the property's name, then for
the data value name. Not only is this inefficient, it's hard to reason
about, unintuitive, and not at all self-explanatory.

This commit replaces that system with a UI data struct directly in the
IDProperty. If it's not used, the only cost is of a NULL pointer. Beyond
storing the description, name, and RNA subtype, derived structs are used
to store type specific UI data like min and max.

Note that this means that addons using (abusing) the `_RNA_UI` custom
property will have to be changed. A few places in the addons repository
will be changed after this commit with D9919.

**Before**
Before, first the _RNA_UI subgroup is retrieved the _RNA_UI group,
then the subgroup for the original property, then specific UI data
is accessed like any other IDProperty.
```
prop = rna_idprop_ui_prop_get(idproperties_owner, "prop_name", create=True)
prop["min"] = 1.0
```

**After**
After, the `id_properties_ui` function for RNA structs returns a python
object specifically for managing an IDProperty's UI data.
```
ui_data = idproperties_owner.id_properties_ui("prop_name")
ui_data.update(min=1.0)
```
In addition to `update`, there are now other functions:
 - `as_dict`: Returns a dictionary of the property's UI data.
 - `clear`: Removes the property's UI data.
 - `update_from`: Copy UI data between properties,
   even if they have different owners.

265d97556a PyAPI: use iterators for ID property methods (keys, values & items)
- Matches changes in Python 3.x dictionary methods.

- Iterating now raises a run-time error if the property-group changes
  size during iteration.

- IDPropertyGroup.iteritems() has been removed.

- IDPropertyGroup View & Iterator types have been added.

- Some set functionality from dict_keys/values/items aren't yet
  supported (isdisjoint method and boolean set style operations).

Proposed as part of T85675.

3c09beb3b1 Fix memory leak in IDPropertyGroup.pop()
When popping ID-property groups/arrays,
ID-property was removed but not freed.

Now the value is converted to a native Python type and freed.

0af22625c9 Fix bl_pyapi_idprop unit test.
Scenes can now have a 'cycles' key when starting, so account for that.
