Tweaks for threading schedule for Threadripper2 and EPYC

The idea is to make main thread and job threads to be scheduled
on CPU dies which has direct access to memory (those are NUMA
nodes 0 and 2).

We also do this for new EPYC CPUs since their NUMA nodes 1 and 3
do have access but only to a higher range DDR slots. By preferring
nodes 0 and 2 on EPYC we make it so users with partially filled
DDR slots has fast memory access.

One thing which is not really solved yet is localization of
memory allocation: we do not guarantee that memory is allocated
on the closest to the NUMA node DDR slot and hope that memory
manager of OS is acting in favor of us.

Add utility function to query CPU brand string

Add cross-platform NUMA library

Makes it simple to use NUMA libraries on various platforms.

Outliner/visibility: revert changes for now until we find better solutions.

See T57857 for discussion. This reverts:

"Outliner: Do not gray out empty collections"

"Remove eye column from the outliner"

"Per view-layer collection visibility"
4de6a210c69fe254518ca8d6c860782c54f03749.

Fix defined but unused static variable warning

UI: rename settings back to preferences.

This distinguishes it better for the many other types of settings.

Ref T54115.

Tool System: support for dynamic tooltips

Tools can define a function that generates the tooltip using a function,
this takes the tools keymap as an argument which can be used
to extract keys to include in the tip.

PyAPI: add KeyMapItem.to_string() method

Useful for generating dynamic tooltips that include shortcuts.

Defaults: left click select is now the default.

A few reasons motivating this change:
* It works well for all devices: mouse, trackpad, and tablet pens.
* For beginners or users coming from other software, it's easier to get
started and avoids an initial stumbling block.
* Many users in 2.7 (about half?) were already using left click select, so
combined with the above advantages it makes for a practical default.

Note that we continue to support right click select, as many experienced
Blender users (and developers) see efficiency advantages in this approach.

The option to switch is in the first time setup splash screen, and in the
user preferences.

Fix curve stats when using modifiers.

Curve/surface/text final data may be an evaluated mesh instead of a
displist, when some modifiers (constructive ones in particular) are
applied to it.

Note that this is just getting feet wet, whole draw code suffers from
the same issue! :P

Fix/workaround issues in pose and edit mode

Edit mode was unable to select, pose mode was unable to move bones.

Fix crash entering editmode

Transform: use scene-orientation for MMB axis constraint

Follows the change made for axis keys.

Apply the hair curve transformation to vertices when drawing.

Cleanup: quiet keymap float compare warning

Cleanup: remove missing operator from UI

Tool System: add node links cut tool

Cleanup: correct assert, remove redundant NULL checks

Gizmo: fix compositor node crop w/ negative rectangles

min/max could be negative, causing the gizmo to fail.

Cleanup: correct function signatures
