Fix T82220 Missing viewport update after manual "HDRI Preview Size" input

This is caused by the TAA being reset after the init phase, leading to
1 sample being kept as valid when it is clearly not.

To fix this, we run the lookdev validation before TAA init.

Fix T82251: Outliner Material Drag&Drop missing tree update

Caused by rBb077de086e14.

Not entirely sure why this was rebuilding the tree prior to above
commit, but sending an ND_OB_SHADING notifier is appropriate (and also
what the Outliners listener listens to).

Fix T81997: Subsurf Optimal Display sticks after object conversion

When using Optimal Display, some edges are not flagged `ME_EDGEDRAW` |
`ME_EDGERENDER`.
When the modifier is applied through the UI in the modifier stack this is
not an issue because the `modifyMesh` callback is run with
`MOD_APPLY_TO_BASE_MESH` (this will effectively turn of Optimal
Display).
When converting to mesh though, this will just get an evaluated mesh
(where the edge flags are still the same as with the subdivision
modifier).
Now ensure every edge is flagged to draw after conversion.

VSE: Don't store proxy images in cache

Proxies are expected to be fast to read. Storing them in cache has
little to no effect on performance.

This change also allows to omit invalidation of cache when user switch
between proxies and original media.

Add background rectangle option to video sequencer Text strip

This adds a Box option to the Text strip's style properties, plus related Box Margin value:

{F9208309}

When enabled the text is placed on top of a solid-filled rectangle of a chosen color, as shown below:

{F9208324}

When the box option is disabled the text strip works the same as it does now. When the box option is enabled the meaning of the Shadow option changes to provide a drop-shadow on the rectangle (and not on the text itself). The latter made more sense to me.

The box margin is specified as a fraction of the image width. The offset of the drop-down box shadow is fixed to a specific fraction of the image width as well.

I tested this feature on a movie of a couple of minutes containing dozens of text strips (all with box background), edge cases like multi-line strings and text overlapping the image edges.

Cleanup: Fluid engine API return types

Use bool return type where possible instead of int (the return values from fluid object are already boolean instead of int).

Also removed several if guards in API functions. If one of the arguments is in fact invalid / nullptr (should not happen though), it better to catch them directly where they failed and not silently escape them.
