For Blender builtin configurations the option to choose the select mouse remains
and is now also in the splash screen. It works by changing the keymap dynamically
in the script, rather than using special events.
The system of automatic switching of events was not flexible enough to deal with
side effects that require further keymap changes, so it is now under more manual
control in the script.
This breaks compatibility for some scripts and exported key configurations.
These can be fixed by replacing SELECTMOUSE, ACTIONMOUSE, EVT_TWEAK_S and
EVT_TWEAK_A with appropriate LEFTMOUSE, RIGHTMOUSE, EVT_TWEAK_L and
EVT_TWEAK_R events.
Other than that, there should be no functional changes.
- Was setting active state, making it necessary to backup/restore
active object in cases where this isn't needed.
Existing scripts are explicitly setting the active object when needed.
- Use a boolean select arg (toggle selection wasn't used anywhere).
- Add an optional view layer argument since scripts should be able to
operate outside the user context.
RNA's ViewLayer would present 'first level' of layer collection as a
list (collection property), when it is actually now only a single item,
same as the scene's master collection.
Note: did not try to update view_layer python tests, those are already
fully broken for quiet some time I guess (they still assume
view_layer.collections to be mutable e.g.)...
The main use one can imagine for this is adding tweak controls to
parts of a model that are already deformed by multiple other major
bones. It is natural to expect such locations to deform as if the
tweaks aren't there by default; however currently there is no easy
way to make a bone follow multiple other bones.
This adds a new constraint that implements the math behind the Armature
modifier, with support for explicit weights, bone envelopes, and dual
quaternion blending. It can also access bones from multiple armatures
at the same time (mainly because it's easier to code it that way.)
This also fixes dquat_to_mat4, which wasn't used anywhere before.

When a .blend file is dropped into Blender a small menu opens.
In that menu the user can choose between three options: Open, Link and Append.

This only worked on new objects, which is no longer needed.
It didn't account for:
- Quaternion or axis-angle rotation.
- Parenting.
- Constraints.
If we support object rotation alignment, it might be best to
make it a more general set of alignment operators
(align transform, orientation - not limiting to view).
- new "Align to View" option when loading a new image
- automatically align to view when dropping an image into a viewport
- larger default size for image empties
- fix image empty gizmo in orthographic view
- new "Align Objects to View" operator

Users can select the main unit they want to use now.
Previously the displayed unit always depended on the magnitude of the value.
The old behavior can be restored by switching to the "Adaptive" mode for length, mass and time units.
Meters, kilograms and seconds are the default units for new and old scenes.
The selected unit is also the default unit for user input.
E.g. if cm is selected, whenever the user inputs a unitless number into a field of type length, it will be interpreted as cm.

New entry in the Add Object menu.
Opens a file selector and creates a new empty object from the selected image.
Previously more steps were needed to archieve the same.

The first time setup screen only has the interaction preset currently, some
more work is needed to be able to set e.g. the language or compute device
here as in the mockups.
The splash screen stayed the same for now, to make room for the templates
most of the links are now in the Help menu. If there are no recent files yet
the links still show.
The splash screen buttons implementation was fully moved to Python, in the
WM_MT_splash menu.
