T78397: Pack to the same UDIM

Summary

Implements T78397
Extends the functionality of pack islands operator to allow packing UVs
to either the closest or active UDIM tile.
This provides 2 new options for packing UVs :

Closest UDIM: Selected UVs will be packed to the UDIM tile they were placed on. If not present on a valid UDIM tile, the UVs will be packed to the closest UDIM in UV space
Active UDIM: Selected UVs will be packed to the active UDIM image tile In case, no image is present in the UV editor, then UVs will be packed to the tile on the UDIM grid where the 2D cursor is located.

Minor cleanup.

Quiet clang-tidy warnings.
Prefer snake case (packTo -> pack_to)
Use full sentences.

Generally seems fine, there are a few things that aren't clear to me:

Why is scene->toolsettings->target_udim needed? A user may be unwrapping multiple meshes - so storing a UDIM per scene doesn't seem correct. Blender supports storing values between operator execution, so re-running a pack with the same UDIM should work.

Further, storing a UDIM in the scene seems unnecessary when the image has an active-UDIM the user can adjust before running pack.

Suggest these changes: P2452

Uses the images active UDIM instead of storing it in the scene.
Supports packing to the active-UDIM.

NOTE: unless there is a compelling reason to keep SPECIFIED_UDIM it might even be best to replace this with ACTIVE_UDIM since the user can select a UDIM and pack into that instead of having to enter a number value.

1103–1121	If the only purpose of this function is to conditionally hide a property, `wmOperatorType.poll_property` can be used instead of the draw functions.

340 ↗	(On Diff #42606)	This would need to be version patched so users existing files won't have this value set to zero, although I'm not sure if this should be kept (see previous reply).

Changes based on review
Use 2D cursor for UDIM grid when using ACTIVE_UDIM option
Remove SPECIFIED_UDIM option
Refactor code and minor cleanup
Remove unnecesary DNA variable

source/blender/editors/uvedit/uvedit_islands.c
241	`lie_on` isn't common terminology for Blender, suggest `isect` e.g.: `uv_coord_isect_udim(...)`
source/blender/editors/uvedit/uvedit_unwrap_ops.c
1011	Prefer common prefix to easily group related values: eg `PACK_UDIM_SRC_ACTIVE`, `PACK_UDIM_SRC_CLOSEST`
1051–1071	This block can be moved within the: `else if (pack_to == ACTIVE_UDIM) { ... }` check.
1127	Suggest to name `udim_source`.
1129–1137	This can be removed.
