Property Search: Set expansion properly for child panels

Although I haven't seen this cause any visible errors, there is some
incorrect handling for setting panel expansion during search:
- Properly check if child panel is active first
- Don't stop traversal at headerless panels that could theoretically
have children

Fix T71981: Alembic vertex interpolation can jumble mesh

Add an option to disable Alembic vertex interpolation.
Bump subversion from 5 to 6.

Alembic stores mesh samples at specific time keys; when a frame in
Blender maps to a timecode between two samples, Blender will interpolate
the mesh vertex positions. This interpolation only happens when the mesh
has a constant topology, but sometimes this was not detected properly
when the vertices change order, but the number of mesh elements remains
the same. This would result in a mesh with jumbled up vertices (T71981).
With this patch, users have the ability to disable vertex interpolation.

An alternative would be to have better detection of topology changes,
but that that'll cause a considerable slowdown.

Volumes: new Mesh to Volume modifier

This modifier can only be added to Volume objects. It takes a mesh
as input and generates a "density" grid near the surface or in
the enclosed volume.

Volumes: support selection and outlines in viewport

Previously, one could only select a volume object in the outliner
or by clicking on the object origin. This patch allows you to click
on the actual volume.

Furthermore, the generated (invisible) mesh that is used for
selection is also used to draw an outline for the volume object now.

DNA: optimize struct reconstruction by doing some preprocessing

When loading large files that are more than a couple weeks old
(such that DNA has changed in that time), a significant amount of
time is spent in `DNA_struct_reconstruct`. This function takes a struct
in the old layout and creates a struct in the new layout from it.

This was slow because it was computing the diff between the struct
layouts every time a struct is updated. Now the steps for the struct
reconstruction is computed only once per struct. This information is
then used to actually reconstruct all structs that changed.

I measured about 10-20% speedup when loading Spring files.
E.g. `10.6s -> 8.7s` for `06_055_A.anim.blend` in BKE_blendfile_read`.

This percentage varies a lot based on the number of blocks that have
to be reconstructed and how much DNA has changed since they have
been written. In none of my tests was the new code slower than the
old code.

DNA: use better type for SDNA->structs

The data layout remains exactly the same..
This change just gives all the elements in `SDNA->structs` names,
making it more comfortable to work with the data.

Revert "Fix T81002: Images drawn with the Python gpu module no longer draw on top in the Image Editor"

This reverts commit 085329f114beb904ed3ef0c8ec6894ee26916704.

It didn't render rendered viewport overlays correctly.

Cleanup: CMake/FFmpeg: Fix typo in message/comment

Code added in the last commit {rB2fdbe4d0501114c716fd12bc}.

CMake/Find packages: add FindFFmpeg.cmake module.

The behaviour is a bit different from other find modules:
`FFMPEG_FIND_COMPONENTS` should contain the
list of required libraries before calling `find_package(FFmpeg)`.
If not set, a default set of most common libraries is searched for:
`avcodec avdevice avfilter avformat avutil`

GPencil: Fix bug where curve points woud dissapear

Fix T80121: Forcefield F-curve modifier changes don't reset cache

Add a dependency graph relation Force Object Animation ? Scene Rigid
Body World Rebuild. This ensures that the rigid body world is rebuilt
when a force object is re-tagged for animation updates.

The extra relation doesn't add any new calculations when the animation
is running, as the Time Source node already had a relation to the
scene's `RIGIDBODY_REBUILD` node.

The relation is created directly to the `RIGIDBODY_REBUILD` Operation. I
would have liked to target the containing Component instead. However,
that has the `RIGIDBODY_SIM` operation as entry node, which isn't enough
to actually fix T80121.
