Fix T71336: GPencil: Wrong mouse cursor

Constraints: remove special meaning of Local Space for parentless Objects.

In 2011 special handling was introduced, apparently for no other
reason than to address a complaint in T25707 that World and Local
space are equivalent for objects without parent. This causes issues
and confusion, as mentioned in rB599c8a2c8e4.

This special meaning of Local Space is not documented in the manual,
and is not known to experienced riggers, so removing it should not
be a problem.

Fix crash when adding Scene variable to a driver

When a Scene variable is added to a driver, and the RNA path is still NULL,
it no longer crashes Blender.

Alembic: improved import/export of mesh normals

This commit implements the change in behaviour described in T71246.
In short:

For export, per mesh:
- Custom loop normals are defined ? loop normals are exported.
- One or more polys are marked flat ? loop normals are exported.
- Otherwise, no normals are exported.

For import, when the Alembic mesh contains:
- loop normals (kFacevaryingScope) ? use as custom loop normals, and
enble Auto Smooth to have Blender actually use them.
- vertex normals (kVertexScope or kVaryingScope) ? convert to loop
normals, and handle as above.
- no normals ? mark mesh as smooth.
- unsupported normal types (kConstantScope, kUniformScope,
kUnknownScope) ? handle as 'no normals'.

This also fixes T71130: Alembic split normal export issue

Previously the mesh flag `ME_AUTOSMOOTH` was used in conjunction with
the poly flag `ME_SMOOTH` to determine whether loop normals or vertex
normals were exported. This behaviour was hard to predict for artists,
and hard to describe in the manual. Instead, Blender now only exports
loop normals, computing them if necessary. This way, the mesh in Alembic
should always have the same loop normals as in Blender.

Mathutils: expose the utility to find the closest point of a triangle.

This computation is complex and useful enough to expose the existing
C math utility used by BVH nearest to Python. Otherwise this requires
the use of intersect_point_tri and multiple intersect_point_line calls
with some added vector math.

UI: Rewrite stacked full-screen logic, fixing issues

To recreate the main issue:
* Set render and file browser to show in full-screen in the preferences
* Default scene, press F12 in 3D View
* Press Alt+S to save the image
* Escape the file browser
* Escape the image editor
The former 3D View would now show the image editor. This is a common
use-case that should work.

Full-screen code is a hassle to get to work as expected. There are
reports from 2.5, I did lots of work years ago to get these kind of
use-cases to work fine. But apparently I broke this one with a fix for
another common use-case in March (0a28bb14222c).
This now stores hints in the space, rather than the area, which should
make things much more controlable and hopefully help us fix issues like
this.
Here are a few references describing further common issues (all should
work fine now): 0a28bb14222c, e61588c5a544, T19296

Checked over this with Bastien, we agreed that at some point we should
do a big rewrite of all of this, for now this is acceptable.

Fix T71250: ID user decrement error with ID properties in ViewLayer

Correct naming of cryptomatte output sockets on the render layers node

The cryptomatte sockets were incorrectly numbered using a step size of two. While the increment by two is necessary to get the correct number of render passes, they should be numbered consecutively matching the socket names of the cryptomatte node.

Nasking: Toggle cyclic on Ctrl-Click on initial vertex

This change replaces old behavior when spline was toggled as cyclic
on double-click.

Doing so was tricky on a tablet and is rather non-intuitive in general.

Solidify Modifier: support non-manifold input

This adds a new mode to solidify to support non-manifold geometry
with edges using 3 or more faces as input, resulting in a manifold mesh.

Since the differences between these methods don't translate well
into short terms, they're named "Simple" and "Complex" in the UI.

This also adds clamp with respect to angles
to the existing solidify modifier calculation.

Fix python error when trying to delete presets

In some cases the default data paths for blender does not exist.
For example on windows when using the portable install.

This would lead to errors when trying to lookup default paths in
is_path_builtin. Now we handle cases like this gracefully.
