Campbell Barton dc9430c480 Extensions: support system repositories & BLENDER_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS

Support for "System" extensions as an alternative to the current
"User" extensions repository.

The purpose of this change is to support bundling extensions for
offline work or in environments where users setting up thier own
extensions isn't desirable, see #122512.

Details:

The default "System" repository on Linux will for example use:
- `/usr/share/blender/4.2/extensions/{system}` For system installs.
- `./4.2/extensions/{system}` For portable installs.

- Blender's default startup now has a "System" repository
  which users or administrators may populate.

- Repositories can select between User/System paths,
  setting a custom path overrides overrides this setting.

- Add "BLENDER_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS" (matching "BLENDER_LOCAL_EXTENSIONS").

 System Extensions
 Extensions extracted into this directory will be available from the
 default "System" repository.
 This allows extensions to be bundled with Blender outside of
 user repositories.
