Geometry Nodes: Add initial version of mesh primitives

This commit includes nodes to build the following primitives:
- Cone
- Cylinder
- Circle
- Cube
- UV Sphere
- Ico Sphere
- Line
- Plane/Grid

In general the inputs are the same as the corresponding operators
in the 3D view.

**Line Primitive**
The line primitive has two modes-- adding vertices between two end
points, or adding vertices each at an offset from the start point.
For the former mode, there is a choice between a vertex count
and a distance between each point.

**Plane Primitive**
This commit includes the "Plane" and "Grid" primitives as one node.
Generally primitives are named after the simpler form of the shape they
create (i.e. "Cone" can make some more complex shapes). Also, generally
you want to tweak the number of subdivisions anyway, so defaulting to
plane is not an inconvenience. And generally having fewer redundant
base primitives is better.

**Future Improvements**
A following patch proposes to improve the speed of the cylinder, cone,
and sphere primitives: D10730. Additional possible future improvements
would be adding subdivisions to the cube node and rings to the cone
and cylinder nodes.

Grease Pencil: Add LineArt modifier

This adds the LineArt grease pencil modifier.

It takes objects or collections as input and generates various grease
pencil lines from these objects with the help of the active scene
camera. For example it can generate contour lines, intersection lines
and crease lines to name a few.

This is really useful as artists can then use 3D meshes to automatically
generate grease pencil lines for characters, enviroments or other
visualization purposes.

These lines can then be baked and edited as regular grease pencil lines.

Geometry Nodes: Implicit conversion add int to color

Add implicit `int32 to Color4f` conversion. Matches `int32 to float3` conversion logic.

This may not be the most useful conversion but prevents an error in the Attribute Convert node.

Geometry Nodes: Implicit conversion change from distance to average

Use average instead of distance when converting from float3/float2 to float. This matches behaviour of shader nodes.

VSE: Automatic proxy building

VSE: Simplify proxy settings

- Remove Full Render size from VSE preview size. Use just 100% instead.
- Add Use Proxies checkbox to control whether proxies are used globally
- Move preview size to top so it is most prominent
- Set default to 100% preview size and use proxies

FFmpeg: Improve proxy building performance

Use h264 codec for output. This codec produces smaller files, can be
multithreaded and decodes even faster than MJPEG.

Quality setting 0-100 corresponds to "Lowest Quality" to
"Perceptually Lossless" in Blender's h264 encoding presets.

All available cores are used for decoding.
Same goes for decoding but only for codecs that supports this
(h264, vp9 seems to support this option out of th box as well).
Other decoders can probably be optimized in similar way, but threaded
encoding provides significant boost already.

I have tested variety of codecs, and all were transcoded properly.

Minor adjustments that were missing when D10598 landed.

LibOverride: tweak log messages, fix crash in log code.

One of the log call could use freed memory.

LibOverride: Resync: Fix too many objects being rooted in master collection.

No need to instantiate systematically the root object if it is already

Issue reported by the studio.

LibOverride: Resync: Fix most remaining 'overrides in master collection' issues.

Problem is, when a collection is excluded from the scene, none of its
objects are technically instantiated.

This should not happen when *creating* an override, but can be fairly
common during resync process.

For now, use a lesser precise check in resync case, only relying on
object usercount. This might lead to some objects being left without any
collection in some rare weird case, but this cannot really be avoided
currently.
