UI: expose the 3D views active object, even when hidden

The previous behavior meant that changing an objects visibility
effectively changed the current mode - which missed necessary
updates for the tool-system (for example).

There was already a check for edit-mode, now expected to all modes.

This makes the test-case described in T83013 work as expected.

WM: Add 'Confirm On Release' option for WM_OT_radial_control

Adds a new property called "Confirm On Release" that does what it says,
confirm the action without having to do left-click or to press any other
extra-key which concludes in a more dynamic and efficient way of changing
brush size or strength for example, especially for tablet users.

Cleanup: don't subclass 'Panel' for mix-in classes

This reports warnings with `--debug-python` since all panel
sub-classes are expected to be registered.

Cleanup: remove unused panel SEQUENCER_PT_sound

These have since been moved to SEQUENCER_PT_source.

Docs: add notes to 'make deps' & the sqlite build configuration

- Move non-blender build targets into their own section.
- Expand 'make help' text, noting a local 'make deps' overrides.
- Note where the spell checkers word-list is maintained.
- Note on why sqlite is built without 'tcl'.

CMake: update MSVC PDB path reference

PyAPI: Use PyPreConfig & PyConfig for Python initialization

Use Python 3.8's API for setting the initial configuration.

This replaces a mix of our logic and direct calls to the Python API
and has no user visible changes.

Using the Python API makes the logic easier to follow and provides
utilities such as `PyConfig_SetBytesArgv`
that wasn't available in previous releases.

Note that this uses Python's utf8/wchar_t conversions,
which used to cause problems (see T31506).

Since `Py_UTF8Mode` was set, the systems locale isn't used for decoding,
allowing us to use Python's utility functions that call
`Py_DecodeLocale` internally.

Mesh automated testing: compare selection

MeshTest now compares selection between evaluated mesh and expected mesh. This way, we can test more operators
such as `faces_select_linked_flat`

Note: selection comparison intentionally does not happen in BKE_mesh_cmp() on C side but rather on Python side, because
selection is independent of mesh generation.

probably its derived distributions?) are slightly different than what

Print number of total tests with each test to show how many tests have been executed and how many are left.
