Eevee: Volumetrics: Update/fix the lamp power convertion.

Include a better fit for area lights.

Eevee: Implement Sun area lighting and few fixes/opti.

Sun is treated as a unit distant disk like in cycles.

Opti: Since computing the diffuse contribution via LTC is the same as not using the Linear Transformation, we can bypass most of the LTC code.
This replaces the sphere analytical diffuse computation as it gives a more pleasing result very close to cycles' AND cheaper.

Lights power have been retweaked to be coherent with cycles (except sun lamp with large radius where cycles has a non-uniform light distribution).

Eevee: Optimize rectangle area light.

Use the latest LTC optimisation techniques. That said, the final output is a bit more biased (and a bit further away from cycles).

Eevee: Use inversesqrt() when possible.

Eevee: Implement new LTC algorithm for Sphere Lights.

This is an improvement on the old spining quad method that was giving artifacts when the reflection ray was nearly aligned with the sphere center.
This might be a bit heavier but it's worth it.

Outliner: Follow up on "Alphabetical sorting"

Technicall this works for collections modes too (View Layer and Collections) even
if only for objects. So it should be in the menu as well.

Outliner: Alphabetical sorting - Fixup on "Get rid of Search Menu"

Issue introduced on 51bcf7bd5f3f2.

Alphabetical sorting is not related to search, so it shouldn't have been
touched by the Search Menu changes.

Outliner: Fix parenting clear poll

Outliner: Use (temporary) icons for collections

We need new icons for collections.

Yet we are using them in a few places, so we may as well be consistent and use
it everywhere.

Outliner: Rename "Active View Layer" > "View Layer"

The original name came from a cheap conversion of the "active layer" option
to "active render layer" and then "active view layer".

Outliner: View Layer: add option to add a new collection to the current view layer

This operator not only links a collection, but it creates a new one and then it
links it. Although the preferrable method for users to handle their collections
is when viewing the "Collections", let's explore this workflow for now.

Suggested by Pablo Vazquez, thank you.

Outliner: Get rid of Search Menu

Use inline options instead. This will be collapsable once we merge the upcoming
filter sytem.

Outliner: Keep header operator-free and edit menu cleanup

Headers should not have operators as much as possible. The exception here is
for datablocks mode when you want to see the active keyset.

Edit menus on the other hand should be clearly distinct from the RMB context
menus. Edit menu options should be only the ones that apply to the entire
outliner, regardless of the selected element.

Context (rmb) menus should be related to the element you RMB on to invoke the
menu. I'm also taking this opportunity to start bringing the context menus
to Python. There is little reason not to, and it helps editing them (In this
case I'm doing it only for the Scene Collection one).
