Fix elastic drag cloth brush deformation

Sculpt: Change default damping for cloth deform target

Sculpt: Cloth Brush elastic drag deform type

Allow vertex tools to operate on weight groups when armature is in object mode

Since a few versions (even before 2.79) we have an option that allows to restrict the vertex tools to operate only on deform groups. This was originally implemented for working with vertex groups for skeletal animation. In that case it is fortunate to have weight tools operate only on deforming vertext groups (vgroups assigned to bones)

In previous versions of Blender (up to 2.79) we have been able to use this option in Mesh Edit mode regardless of the armature mode. The current implementation (since 2.80 as far as i know) enables this option only when the associated armature is in pose mode. this has a bad consequence:

It is not at all intuitive that you have to put the armature into Pose mode before you can make use of the option in mesh edit mode.
Besides this it is not even necessary in the case when the user wants to restrict the tool only to all pose bones. In that case the armature can safely be kept in Object mode. However, when the tool shall apply only to selected pose bones, then it actually makes sense to have the armature in pose mode (as it is implemented right now)

I do not know why this feature has been restricted as described above. It must have got lost somewhere on the way to Blender 2.90

This patch fixes the issue as it allows to select the "restrict to pose bones" option when the armature is in any mode. I see no downsides of this change, actually this is a fix for a feature that once worked and apparently got forgotten in newer releases.

VSE: Improve motion-picture workflow

This commit resolves problem introduced in e1665c3d3190 - it was
difficult to import media at their original resolution.
This is done by using original resolution as reference for scale.

All crop and strip transform values and their animation is converted
form old files.

To make both workflows easy to use, sequencer tool settings have been
created with preset for preffered scaling method. This setting is in
sequencer timeline header and add image or movie strip operator
properties.

Two new operators have been added:
`sequencer.strip_transform_fit` operator with 3 options: Scale To Fit,
Scale to Fill and Stretch To Fill.
Operator can fail if strip image or video is not loaded currently, this
case should be either sanitized or data loaded on demand.

`sequencer.strip_transform_clear` operator with 4 options:
Clear position, scale, rotation and all (previous 3 options combined).

Ghost/Linux: Avoid error print if special directory can't be determined

The function is supposed to fail gracefully if there is some error. That
includes not being able to find `xdg-user-dir`. So don't let the error
be printed to the console, it's misleading/annoying.
From what I can tell we'll detect that problem fine and return NULL
then.

Geometry Nodes: Add boolean attribute in utility function

This follows up rBc484b54453e607, adding the boolean custom property
data type in one more place that was missed.

Geometry Nodes: Boolean attribute type

This adds a boolean attribute and custom data type, to be used in the
point separate node. It also adds it as supported data types in the
random attribute and attribute fill nodes.

There are more clever ways of storing a boolean attribute that make
more sense in certain situations-- sets, bitfields, and others, this
commit keeps it simple, saving those changes for when there is a proper
use case for them. In any case, we will still probably always want the
idea of a boolean attribute.

Cleanup: Replace mempcpy with memcpy

There is no need of using mempcpy here, memcpy is enough.

Note: This also fix building in Windows which was broken since a7628ec22a.

Geometry Nodes: Poisson disk point distribution node/method

This patch does two things:
* Introduce a Seed to the random distribution method
* Bring in a new distribution method for the point scattering node

Patch Review: https://developer.blender.org/D9787

Note: This commit doesn't not handle doversion. Which means that users
need to manually update their files that were using the Point Distribute
node and reconnect inputs to the "Maximum Density" socket.

Original patch by Sebastian Parborg, with changes to not rely on the cy
libraries and overall cleanup.

Patch review by Jacques Lucke, besides help with the new "heap" system
that was required for this algorithm.

Sculpt: Multires Displacement Smear

This tool implements smearing for multires displacement over the limit
surface, similar to how smearing for colors and topology slide works.
When used the displacement values of the vertices "slide" over the
topology, creating the effect of smearing the surface detail.

As the brush just modifies displacement values instead of coordinates,
the total displacement of the affected area doesn't change. This means
that this smearing effect can be used multiple times over the same area
without generating any artifacts in the topology.

When the brush is used with the pinch or expand smear modes,
displacement differences are pushed into the same area, creating hard
surface effects without pinching the topology.

As any other brush that relies on the limit surface (like displacement
erasers), this will work better after using apply base.

Asset Browser: For assets without preview, show type icon in sidebar

Otherwise it would just show empty space where the icon is supposed to
be.
Unfortunately this icon is upscaled quite a bit and doesn't look too
great. Would be good to improve but not a high priority.

Fix T83843: Crash in Asset Browser sidebar with geometry asset selected

No icon should be created if the preview doesn't exist.
