Cleanup: EEVEE: change cameraVec macro to cameraVec(P)

This makes is clearer and avoid having to setup worldPosition if
shader is not a material shader.

Cleanup: EEVEE: Use P for world position instead of W

This removes the last places where this was not the case.

We follow cycles convention of P being for Postion.

Cleanup: EEVEE: Use P and vP instead of worldPosition and viewPosition

... for local variables.

Cleanup: EEVEE: Rename aperture to cone angle when it make sense

Aperture for a cone is 2 times the cone angle.

Cleanup: EEVEE: Rename variable named sample because ...

.. it's a reserved keyword on GL > 4.0.

Fix T85603 EEVEE: Baking Indirect lighting crashes Blender

Was caused by non initialized render_timesteps.

BLI: cleanup StringRef and Span and improve parameter validation

Previously, methods like `Span.drop_front` would crash when more
elements would be dropped than are available. While this is most
efficient, it is not very practical in some use cases. Also other languages
silently clamp the index, so one can easily write wrong code accidentally.

Now, `Span.drop_front` and similar methods will only crash when n
is negative. Too large values will be clamped down to their maximum
possible value. While this is slightly less efficient, I did not have a case
where this actually mattered yet. If it does matter in the future, we can
add a separate `*_unchecked` method.

This should not change the behavior of existing code.

GPencil: Remove old Interpolate menu option

This option was before move this action as a tool.

UI: Correct the text alignment of the RGB/HSV/Hex toggle in the color picker

Expanded enum items like this usually have centered text, but there are
limitations in the popup code that break this here. Add a workaround for this
limitation.

Python: Add to_curve method to the object API

This patch adds a to_curve method to the Object ID. This method is
analogous to the to_mesh method. The method can operate on curve and
text objects. For text objects, the text is converted into a 3D Curve ID
and that curve is returned. For curve objects, if apply_modifiers is
true, the spline deform modifiers will be applied and a Curve ID with
the result will be returned, otherwise a copy of the curve will be
returned.

The goal of this addition is to allow the developer to access the splines
of text objects and to get the result of modifier applications which was
otherwise not possible.

Cleanup: Split grease pencil selection index functions

This makes the code more readable.

PyAPI: use a new type for storing the deferred result of bpy.props

This is needed to support Python 3.10's Postponed annotation evaluation.

It also simplifies type checking.

Cleanup: doxygen sections

Cleanup: remove duplicate enum

Cleanup: reference near duplicate enum definitions

Cleanup: Disentangle outliner active status "get" and "set"

Previously the same functions were used to both set and get the active
state for outliner tree elements. This has quite a few problems.
- It's hard to tell when data is changed or simply read
- It prevents using `const`
- The code is full of if statements, making it longer and less readable.

This commit replaces the `tree_element_type_active` and
`tree_element_active` functions with `_get` and `_set` variants. One
has const arguments and returns the active state, the other deals only
with setting the state. While this refactor results in slightly more
lines of code, the result is much better in my opinion.

This commit also removes unused variables from arguments of the affected
functions.

Geometry Nodes: Add string input node

This commit adds a simple string input node, intended for use in the
attribute workflow to make using the same attribute name in multiple
places easier. The node is function node similar to the existing vector
input node.

UI: Use property split in geometry node properties

This makes the nodes look more consistent with the rest of the UI
by using the same split with right aligned labels as the property editor
and elsewhere. Additionally, for consistency, the "Type" part of some
dropdowns is removed. It already wasn't displayed everywhere, and
it gets redundant quite quickly.
