Implements the first changes for T54115:
* Rename "User Preferences" window to "Settings" in the UI.
We'll likely put workspace settings in there, separate from the global
user settings. System settings should become separate from user
settings in future to allow settings for specific hardware.
* Add sidebar region for navigation (scrolls independently).
Addresses space problems, so we can add more categories as needed now.
* Increase size of Settings window to compensate new navigation bar.
* Group sections into User Preferences and System.
Icons for section groups by Andrzej Ambroz. Thanks!
* Bumps subversion for file compatibility.

I also added categories for future work, but commented them out.
We may also want to redesign contents of each section now.

* Area and Workspace duplicate.
* Toggle Area Fullscreen
* Operator Search
* Workspace reorder to front/back (arrows help to know which direction means front/back)
The grease pencil UI was showing twice in tool properties space.
Move to top-bar because this UI is meant as quick convenience access
which is expanded on in the tool properties editor.
- Draw on back buttons moves near mode
- zDepth offset moved from View Panel to Popover
- Target for Stroke mode moved to popover
- New First point snap mode
After a lot of discussion about this option (see 18f117594004) we have decided set always the order of GP layers in 2D mode (Top->Down) and remove the parameter from User Preferences screen.
Internally all works equal, but in the UI the list is inverted.
The filter buttons to reverse the list or sort alphabetically have been removed because these buttons are not logic in this context.
It's too easy to miss at the bottom of the screen, and if the status bar is
collapsed critical messages may not be seen at all. There might be a better
looking solution, but for now this solves the main usability problem.
The first time setup screen only has the interaction preset currently, some
more work is needed to be able to set e.g. the language or compute device
here as in the mockups.
The splash screen stayed the same for now, to make room for the templates
most of the links are now in the Help menu. If there are no recent files yet
the links still show.
The splash screen buttons implementation was fully moved to Python, in the
WM_MT_splash menu.
The goal here is to make app templates usable for default templates
that we can ship with Blender. These only have a custom startup.blend
currently and so are quite limited compared to app templates that fully
customize Blender.
But still it seems like the same kind of concept where we should be
sharing the code and UI. It is useful to be able to save a startup.blend
per template, and I can imagine some scripting being useful in the future
as well.
Changes made:
* File > New and Ctrl+N now list the templates, replacing a separate
Application Templates menu that was not as easy to discover.
* File menu now shows name of active template above Save Startup File
and Load Factory Settings to indicate these are saved/loaded per
template.
* The "Default" template was renamed to "General".
* Workspaces can now be added from any of the template startup.blend
files when clicking the (+) button in the topbar.
* User preferences are now fully shared between app templates, unless
the template includes a custom userpref.blend. I think this will be
useful in general, not all app templates need their own keymaps for
example.
* Previously Save User Preferences would save the current app template
and then Blender would start using that template by default. I've
disabled this, to me it seems it was unintentional, or at least not
clear at all that saving user preferences also makes the current

Now it's possible to add the weight of the current selected vertex group to any new stroke created.
This is very handy when add drawings after the weight paint was done and it will be required with Armatures.
