Before, any sampled properties that are not keyed was exported with LINEAR interpolation
Now, user can choose the interpolation for these not keyed values (LINEAR or CONSTANT/STEP)
Example of not keyed properties: Deformation bones when animators animated other bones
This adds an Animation panel to the Footage tab of the n-panel of the Movie Clip
editor. Movie Clips have various properties that can be animated, but there was
previously no way to manage the Action and Slot that held those F-Curves.

Material preview panel for grease pencil was accidentally removed in e10b0b3449 because it had EEVEE engine listed as `COMPAT_ENGINES`, which also seemed accidental. After adding panel back I noticed that .blend file for generating previews was also faulty. It was updated 2 years ago when GPv3 was experimental feature, and file wasn't up to date to current state.
This PR also adds new .blend file for generating material previews that is mostly the same as one in Blender 4.2, except:
- I organized it, removed unnecessary stuff.
- For Flat preview it was using flat checkerboard background, for other modes 3D room, which seemed unnecessary and not useful for Grease Pencil, so now every mode uses flat background.
- "Cloth", "Liquid", and "Shaderball" modes in 4.2 didn't render at all and resulted in all white screen. Now they render default Circle, which is not correct, but at least better than nothing. In future we can add custom drawings to those modes for previewing materials on more complex objects.

This adds an Animation panel to the Mask tab of the n-panel of the
Movie Clip and Image editors. Masks can be animated (for example, the
opacity of a Mask Layer), but there was no way to manage the Action
and Slot that held those F-Curves.
To keep things DRY, this PR also moves the code for drawing Action+Slot
selectors from the `PropertiesAnimationMixin` class to a utility
function, which is now called from both that class and the Mask UI code.

The interpolate tool was using a linear re-sampling of the curves, which changes
non-uniform point distributions can causes unexpected shifts in points along the
curve, even very close to an input stroke (mix factor ~0 or ~1).
This patch adds an alternative interpolation function with explicit segment
indices and fractions, which can then be computed by the interpolation tool.
The point segment factors are chosen such that each point of the input strokes
has an exact matching point in the interpolation. When the factor is close to
0 or 1 the shape of the curve thus matches the respective input exactly.
This approach is more similar to what GPv2 did, except instead of sub-dividing
each segment it simply generates a _local_ uniform sample to fit more points
into the same segment. These extra points are colinear at the extremes of the
mix factor range, so the curve matches the input curves visually.

This PR adds new RNA properties that deprecate and replace any `sequence` property.
The old prooperties are still there and fully functional, but the description is changed
to indicate that these will be removed in the future and that the new properties should
be used instead.
| Deprecated property | Replacement property |
| --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `context.active_sequence_strip` | `context.active_strip` |
| `context.selected_editable_sequences` | `context.selected_editable_strips` |
| `context.selected_sequences` | `context.selected_strips` |
| `context.sequences` | `context.strips` |
| `SequenceEditor.sequences` | `SequenceEditor.strips` |
| `SequenceEditor.sequences_all` | `SequenceEditor.strips_all` |
| `MetaStrip.sequences` | `MetaStrip.strips` |
Previously, rna paths for animation data on strips started with `sequence_editor.sequences`.
This PRadds versioning for the rna paths to make sure to use
the new naming scheme. This does mean that in previous versions of blender,
the animations don't show but the data is not lost (even if the file is saved in the older version).
Also do some cleanup of existing python scripts inside the source to use the
new properties.

The name `id_root` was not descriptive, and was just a hold-over from the
equivalent (now deprecated) property on the Action itself. `target_id_type`
is more clear, reflecting that this is the type of ID the Slot is intended
to animate.
This PR also renames the corresponding `id_root_icon` to
`target_id_type_icon`.
Note that this PR updates the GLTF import/export core addon to adhere to
these name changes as well.

After using the Fix to Camera operator, restore the transform matrices
of the fixed-to-camera objects/bones. This is necessary as the
autokeying options (like 'Only Available') may limit the keys that are
set, and thus going to the original scene frame may not be enough to
restore the full transform.

When calling bpy.utils.expose_bundled_modules(), these modules are
added to sys.path.
This provides a solution/workaround to two problems:
* Using bpy together with packages like usd-core is problematic. Besides
crashing due to C++ symbol conflicts, it's just impossible to import
different versions of the same module, or to have distinct environment
variables for both. (#127132)
* Blender add-ons using these VFX modules do not currently work with
the bpy module.
This adds about 15MB to the bpy package.

Ref !133143
Part of the Jan 2025 Code Quality project described in #130975.
This patch aims to improve user-facing messaging when adding effects or
transitions, properly polling them out based on context, and avoiding
unnecessary error messages when possible.
- Rearrange "add Effect Strip" UI in order of required number of
selected strips to create the effect strip, from 0 -> 1 -> 2
- Properly poll out these operators if not enough non-sound strips (i.e.
any strips with video content) are selected.
- Note that this does not require any extra iterations over the
entire seqbase.
- Gracefully avoid errors with trying to add effect/transition strips
when sound strips are part of the selection: for example, when the
user has selected connected strips.
- In these cases, it is clear that the user wishes to operate on
the strips with video content.
- Refactor `seq_effect_find_selected` to fix bugs and account for all
cases, removing TODOs in place. Rename it `seq_effect_get_new_inputs`
to more accurately express its purpose.
- Rename various `last_seq` to `active_strip` to adhere to new conventions
laid out in #132736
- Update UI tooltips for effect, transition, and fades to make their use
clearer.

The hardcoded value doesn't work well with real scale human heads for
example (was already adjusted once in a76b5d3a07).
The result for too high values is a complete "freeze" of the whole curve
(since the solution from e7606139ba has the problem that it keeps
running into max iterations of the collision solver).
As long as no better solver is implemented, it is better to have an
adjustable value (to work on differently sizes objects) to not run into
the above issue (same as the old particle hair system had) and show it
in sculptmode next to the button which enables collision.
This is done per `Curves` (same as the flag
`CV_SCULPT_COLLISION_ENABLED`), similar to symmetry settings
[alternatively, it could be part of `BrushCurvesSculptSettings` but I
think it makes more sense in Curves] and then passed on to the
`CurvesConstraintSolver`.
Includes versioning code (to set the default for old files).

This operator was duplicating feature that already exists in core
Blender (`node.join`), and was not working great as well. So there is
no need to maintain this python operator, but to keep consistency for
users I kept the keymap and UI entry but assigned it to `node.join`
operator instead, so that users don't notice change.
I assigned keymap inside add-on and not in Blender core because people
who didn't use Node Wrangler have that key free, or have something else
assigned (and `node.join` is already mapped to Ctrl+J), so only Node
Wrangler users should have this keymap. We can change it and rename
built-in operator to Parent, instead of Join, and remap it to Shift+P,
but that's separate discussion.

The Action Editor was already getting crowded, but has become even
moreso with the addition of the new Slot selector. Part of this clutter
is due to the NLA-related buttons:
- The up/down track switching buttons.
- The Push Down button.
- The Stash button.
The latter two are currently still useful, but don't need to be directly
on the header itself. This PR moves them to the header's Action menu.
The up/down buttons have several issues:
- They are conceptually confusing: you cannot visually see what's
happening or which track you're on without an NLA editor open anyway,
so somewhere in the NLA Editor would be a better place for them.
- Their functionality is broken, and it seems has been for a long time:
you can go down in the track stack, but often can't go back up,
despite the existence of the up button. It doesn't appear that anyone
has reported this cripplingly broken behavior, which strongly suggests
that very few people (if anyone) is using or relying on these buttons.
- They don't make any sense when you have more than one strip on a track
anyway (which strip do you go into tweak mode on?).
For all these reasons, this PR simply removes the up/down buttons.
