The issue here is that the preferences are still used because both can be accessed from the 3D View, view menu. In the future, it is likely that the old mode will be removed (maybe 2.8?) but for now we want to keep both operational.

Doing this in a fully 'clean' way is far from obvious, especially
unregister, you often end up leaving nasty 'orphanned' keymap items
referring to unregistered operators...
First this replace a custom data struct with IDProperty, and use
IDProperty group merge and copying functions. Which means that a collection
property setting is only created if necessary.
This implements the "Layer Collection settings" override system, as
suggested in the "Override Manifesto" document.
The core is working, with Scene, LayerCollection and Object using a
single IDProperty to store all the render settings data. Next step is to
migrate this to depsgraph.
Note: Clay engine "ssao_samples" was hardcoded to 32 for now. It will come
back as part of "Workspace Settings" later.
Many thanks for Bastien Montagne for the help with the UI template
nightmare ;)

Moving to manual class registration means its easier to accidentally
miss registering classes.
Now detect missing class registration
and warn when running with `--debug-python`
For Windows 8.1 and X11 (Linux, BSD) now use the DPI specified by the operating
system, which previously only worked on macOS. For Windows this is handled per
monitor, for X11 this is based on Xft.dpi or xrandr --dpi. This should result
in appropriate font and button sizes by default in most cases.
The UI has been simplified to a single UI Scale factor relative to the automatic
DPI, instead of two DPI and Virtual Pixel Size settings. There is forward and
backwards compatibility for existing user preferences.

This adds the ability to switch between different application-configurations
without interfering with Blender's normal operation.
This commit doesn't include any templates,
so its mostly to allow collaboration for the Blender 101 project
and other custom configurations.
Application templates can be installed & selected from the file menu.
Other details:
- The `bl_app_template_utils` module handles template activation
(similar to `addon_utils`).
- The `bl_app_override` module is a general module
to assist scripts overriding parts of Blender in reversible way.
See docs:
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/advanced/app_templates.html
See patch: D2565
Although this wasn't so obvious since it
only showed up for factory settings and in the preferences window.
Panel display order depends on registration order,
Sorry for the noise. On the bright side we no longer need to move
classes around to re-arrange panels.
- Add optional 'display_name' callback
so callers can construct own names.
- Add optional 'prop_filepath' argument
(for operators that don't use "filepath").
- Add doc-string.
- Use keyword only arguments.
A user doesn't want to necessarily create a new Screen only because she
wants a new window.
This patch allows the user to pick the screen to use for the new Window.
If the screen picked is the active one, it duplicates it (as the old
behaviour in Blender).

The mesh convert operator can 'freeze' a mesh
(WYSIWYG, modifiers, shape keys etc).
However its not very obvious that the way to perform this
operation is to convert a mesh to a mesh.
Expose this as 'Visual Geometry to Mesh' in the 'Apply' menu,
since this is where users might expect to see it.
