Cleanup: Use span and float matrix type in direct boolean code

This commit includes a few simple improvements to the direct mesh
boolean code added recently.
- Passing the transforms and meshes to `direct_mesh_boolean` as spans
makes the function easier to call from C++.
- The definition of `TransMat`, was unecessary when we have the
`float4x4` type already used elsewhere in C++ code.

EEVEE: Depth of field: Do not shrink highlights when using overblur

This fixes the issue of bokeh size being smaller when using overblur.

The additional overblur needs to be centered on the outer radius.

Sculpt: Expand Operator

Expand is a new operator for Sculpt Mode which is intended to be the main
tool for masking, Face Set editing, interacting with the filters and pattern
creation.

The fundamentals of the tool are similar to the previous sculpt.mask_expand
operator. It shares the same default shortcuts and functionality, making
the previous operator obsolete.

The shortcuts to execute the operator are:
- Shift + A: Expand mask
- Shift + Alt + A: Expand mask by normals
- Shift + W: Expand Face Set
- Shift + Alt + W: Resize current Face Set

The main changes compared to the previous sculpt.mask_expand operator are:
- Modal keymap, all operator options can be changed in real time while the
operator is running.
- Supports creating Mask, Face Sets and Sculpt Vertex Colors.
- Much better code, new features can be easily integrated.

Limitations:
- All Mask operations are supported for Sculpt Vertex colors, but not exposed
by default as their support is still experimental.
- Dyntopo does not support any Face Set or Sculpt Vertex Colors. functionality
(they are not implemented in general for Dyntopo).
- Multires does not support any feature related to geodesic distances.
- Multires does not support vertex colors.
- Multires does not support recursions.
- In Multires, Face Sets snaping does not initialize all current enabled Face
Sets when toggling snapping.
- In Multires, Face Sets are created at base mesh level (works by this by
design, like any other tool).
- Unlike the previous mask_expand operator, this one does not blur the mask
by default after finishing Expand as that does not fit the new design.
The mask can still be blurred by using the mask filter manually.

UI: Rename search button variable

I landed D10527 in rB1a8aee0a7cec accidentally, and the version there was
missing a name change discussed in review. This commit just renames the
boolean variable controlling the special behavior for attribute search.

Original message meant for this change:
For geometry nodes we will use search buttons to display a list of
attributes available the last time the node tree was executed (D10519).
Because this list is just a hint, we need to be able to enter any string,
not just strings from the search items.

This patch adds a boolean option to string buttons to enable this.
The change is quite simple, changes to behavior are only required in
two places. The type-specific button struct changes help a lot here.

EEVEE: Fix incorrect volumetric light shadowing

The shadowing was computed on the light distance squared,
leaking to much light since it was integrating the extinction behind
the ligth itself.

Also bump the maximum shadow max step to the actual UI values. Otherwise
we get shadowing under evaluated because `dd` is too small.

VSE: Refactor VSE strip loading code

Isolate RNA and operator logic from functions that create strips.
- Operator specific code was removed from `SeqLoadInfo` structure and
`SEQ_add_*` functions.
- Strip loading code was removed from RNA and operator functions.
- `SEQ_add_*` API was unified to work on `SeqLoadData` struct.
Only exception is image strip, which require files to be loaded
separately to strip creation itself. This is not ideal, but I think
it's acceptable.
- Some functions and variables were refactored so the code reads
better.

There are minor functional changes (coincidental bugfixes):
- Operator errors are reported per-strip. Previously they were not
reported at all?
- `new_sound()` RNA API function now create sound with length of 1
if source file does not exist. Previously it created strip with
length of 0.
- Replace selection operator property wasn't working correctly.
Fixed in this patch.

CMake/deps: Append platform CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to Python build to ensure compatibility with minimum macOS version

Similarly to other dependencies, the Python build should make use of the default CMake arguments. On macOS, for example, these arguments are required to set the deployment target correctly.

Python API: Expose CurveMapping Reset View function

The Python API for the curve mapping widget offers the `update`
function, but no way to reset the view to the clipping rectangle.

This commit adds a blenkernel function for this operation,
and exposes it to the CurvMapping RNA API. This allows addons
to display a more user-friendly view of the data in this widget.

FFmpeg: Improve scrubbing performance

Applying negative offset to seek position before scanning doesnn't have
any effect. This change results in 1.5x faster seeking (random frame,
average value) in sample file with 30 frame GOP length.

If I am not mistaken, B frames can have pts that can be less than
pts of I frame that must be decoded. Even in this case though, B frame
packet will be stored after that I frame.

In addition, preseek value is de facto hardcoded so seeking would fail
if it could. This can be hard to spot though.

Fix T86172: check if attribute is actually accessible

The crash happened when the density in the Point Distribute node was
above zero but so small, that no point was generated. In this case, there
was a point cloud component, but the point cloud was empty, making some
attributes unavailable.

One could also make more attributes available in this case, but that can
be done separately if necessary.

Fix T86122: Performance Debug View Viewport Not Working

UI: Expose an "is first search" boolean to search button callbacks

Currently when you open an RNA collection search button, like a
vertex group selector, the search filter isn't applied until you
start typing, in order to display every option at the start.
Otherwise they wouldn't be visible, since the search filter would
run for the current text.

Currently this check happens in one place, but it relies on the
`changed` value of `uiBut`. This is fine in the interface directory,
but anywhere else it would require exposing `uiBut.changed`, which
is probably too low-level to expose.

The solution is adding an `is_first` argument to the search callbacks,
which is nice for a few reasons:
- They work at a higher level of abstraction, meaning they don't
have to worry about how exactly to tell if this is the first
search.
- It makes it easier to do special behavior when the search menu
is first opened.
- Then, obviously, it makes that state accessible without including
`interface_intern.h`.

Refactor UIList template for further changes and to fix some glitches

Could go further than that, I think this would benefit from some C++
features, but we can do that in another pass.

Initial AssetList API & use it to load assets for the asset view tempate

Lots of hacks and temporary code here. I wanted a first working version to find
possible pain points before getting into details.

Basic idea is to store each asset library in an `AssetList`, with a globally
accessible storage. Internally the list uses the File Browser's `FileList`
which already does a fair amount of heavy lifting (threaded file & external
asset reading, lazy loading of visible previews, ...). The File Browser could
access the global asset-list storage as well.

The asset view template uses the new asset list to load and display the assets.
