This change is yet to be followed by a more comprehensive design
proposal including:
* How to differentiate the modes apart.
* More clear definition of tools and the rules for their components (gizmo, cursor).
* Selection as a non-tool vs drag option.
This can be revisited for 2.90 with more time. For now the UI team
agrees to revert this.

This reverts commit 4aa703aa14.
Also removes the 'Curve Stroke' panel that showed globally for curve
edit mode. This means the settings will not be available without the
draw tool selected.

This patch adds the stabilizer feature of GP to the annotations.
It has a toggle to activate it "Use Stabilizer", and two properties to control the behaviour of the smooth effect (factor and radius).
You can also use shift at start or in the air to temporaly use this feature.

This patch adds different kind of shapes/styles for the line extremes while using the annotation line tool.
Current Styles: (following @mendio mockup)
- Arrow (closed arrow)
- Open Arrow
- Segment
- Square
For future it would be great to have icons, it would be more intuitive (and less space) with previews of what each end / start of line does, like the google slides one as reference:

For more screenshots, please see D7430.
We use column or row headings here to bring more structure, and to give
the eye visual anchors which aid eye-scanning. The left-aligned
checkboxes likewise help with this. And we keep the adherence to the
center line, so the alignment matches up between the various buttons and
controls.
* Changes the property split percentage from 50/50% to 40/60%. This is
needed to give enough space for the checkboxes. But in most cases this
looks better anyway - see Transform panel. In some cases it simply
fills out the available space more efficently.
* Fix various hacks where we previously used manually defined splits.
When we did this, the alignment was never quite right, and the layout
code was a mess.
* Adds column headings to many places where a list of checkboxes all
share a common purpose or leading text.
* Add checkbox + value configurations various places where a checkbox
only serves to enable the value slider
* Removes most uses of grid flow layout. The grid flow layouts combine
poorly with column headings, and also they would mess alignment up
badly. The grid flow layouts also often made buttons and controls jump
around on the screen if you would just resize editors slightly,
causing visual confusion, making users lose their place. The logic for
at what time the list of items would re-flow was often flawed, jumping
to multiple columns too fast or too late - and frankly, the grid flow
layouts would often just look bad.

This mesh filter sharpens and smooths the mesh based on its curvature,
resulting in pinching hard edges and polishing flat surfaces. It fixes
most of the artifacts of the voxel remesher and those produced when
sculpting hard surfaces and stylized models with creasing and flattening
brushes.
It needs and accumulate_displacement step before each filter iteration which
can't be multithreaded in an easy way (it would need something to sync the
threads when modifying the data of neighbors in a different node), but this
does not affect performance in a significant way.

This implements the Surface Smooth Brush as a mode inside the Smooth tool,
which uses the HC algorithm from "Improved Laplacian Smoothing of Noisy Surface Meshes".
Comparted to the regular smooth brush with laplacian smooth, this brush removes
the surface while preserving the volume of the object.
The smooth result can be controlled by tweaing the original shape preservation,
displacement and iteration count.
The same surface smooth operation is also available as a mesh filter.

Face Sets are the new system to control the visibility state of the mesh in sculpt and paint modes. They are designed to work in modes where brushes are the primary way of interaction and they provide much more control when working with meshes with complex shapes and overlapping surfaces.
This initial commit includes:
- Sculpt Face Sets data structures and PBVH rendering.
- Face Set overlay and opacity controls.
- Sculpt Undo support.
- Remesher reprojection support. The visibility state of the mesh is also preserved when remeshing.
- Automasking and Mesh filter support.
- Mask expand operator mode to expand Face Sets (Shift + W) and flood fill areas by connectivity (press Ctrl while expanding).
- Sculpt Mode Face Sets and Visibility API.
- Sculpt Face Sets creation and visibility management operators.
- Operator to randomize the Face Sets colors.
- Draw Face Sets brush tool to create and edit the Face Sets. Drawing on the mesh creates a new Face Set. Pressing Ctrl before drawing modifies the Face Set under the brush at the beginning of the stroke.
- Updated keymap and menu to work with Face Sets from Sculpt Mode (H to toggle visibility, Alt + H to show all, Shit + H to hide).
- Pie menu on the W key with Face common Sets operations.
Know limitations:
- Multires support. The Face Sets and Visibility API needs to be implemented for Multires.

UI
Main issue is that the UI doesn not respect the Unified Weight/Strength
setting (but instead alwasy shows the brushes weight/strength)
Was working before, but somewhat missed in rBfb74dcc5d69d.
See discussion in T74025 on why the Gradient Tool in its current state
is not very user friendly in general, what I think we should do though
is at least have the values in the UI respect Unified Weight / Unified
Strength since this is what the tool will use internally...

Since this control is set as you drag in the viewport anyway, this amount value is effectively useless.
It was only recently added by mistake with the Bevel GSOC.
Since this tool doesn't perform selections when you click, it's important that the cursor helps communicate that something else will happen.
Also fix missing 'to' in Curve Edit Mode.
This avoids the ambiguity with the Cut operator in the Sequencer, which could be confused with Cut/Copy/Paste.
Use 'Split' for the operator and 'Blade' for the active tool.

Add toolbar to sequencer regions.
A bit of refactoring has to be done in RNA space.
Currently there is only cut tool implemented to serve as template for
anybody who would like to add more.
This defaults to selection when not using a gizmo.
The previous behavior to drag anywhere can be set in the tool settings
or by selecting the fallback tool (Alt-W).
See: T66304
This makes a number of changes to the tool settings brush UI:
- All brush-related controls are now grouped together, so you can see which items are brush settings are which are not. Previously it was all jumbled together.
- The brush picker is in a separate panel, so that you can switch brushes without worrying about the settings, or vice versa.
- Custom Icon settings moved from the Display settings(now known as Cursor) to the Brushes panel.
- UnifiedPaintSettings panels are removed and the contained options are now next to their relevant setting with a globe icon toggle. This is not displayed in the header.
- 2D Falloff and Absolute Jitter toggles were changed into enums, to make it clearer what happens when they are on or off.
- Adjust Strength for Spacing option was in the Options panel in some modes, but in the Stroke panel in others. It is now always under Stroke.
- Display (now Cursor) panel was reorganized, settings renamed.
- 2-option enums are annoying as a drop-down menu, so they are now drawn with expand=True.
- Smooth Stroke and Stabilizer options in grease pencil and other paint modes are now both called "Stabilize Stroke", for consistency and clarity.
- De-duplicated some drawing code between various painting modes' brush options. I tried to keep de-duplication reasonable and easy to follow.
- A few more tweaks - see D5928 for the extensive list.

Also adds a generic popover that can be used whenever an active tool has too
many settings than can fit in the horizontal area. The popover calls the active
tool's draw_settings with "extra" set to True.
Implement T66304 as an experimental option,
available under the preferences "Experimental" section.
- When enabled most tools in the 3D view have a gizmo.
- Dragging outside the gizmo uses the 'fallback' tool.
- The fallback tool can be changed or disabled in the tool options
or from a pie menu (Alt-W).
Previously these used a gizmo to redo the operator however this
complicated having on-screen gizmos to access tools (see T66304).
Replace this with a generic way to make an operator that only has an
execute function into a modal operator.
This is used for smooth and randomize tools.
Unlike operator gestures, this handles storing and resetting the data.
Currently this only handles edit-mode data, however it's can be
extended to other kinds of data.
