Properties Editor - Camera - Depth of Field Eyedropper update from Blender

[Draise14]

Blender

Blender finally added the camera eye dropper, a bit more elegant than our one, but we probably should update.

Here is the code in properties_data_camera.py

        row.operator(
            "ui.eyedropper_depth",
            icon='EYEDROPPER',
            text="").prop_data_path = "scene.camera.data.dof.focus_distance"

• Fix #121338: Depthdropper ensure viewport camera

Depthdropper should ensure that the viewport is in camera view to use
active camera position, otherwise it should still use rv3d->viewinv[3]
to ensure correct distance result.

UI: Add eyedropper button to camera focus distance

Blender already had the ability to sample the depth with an eyedropper
and fill the focus distance (see "ui.eyedropper_depth"). But this feature
was fairly hidden. You had to hover over the focal_distance property
in the camera data panel and then press E (then sample a distance
in the 3D viewport).

This patch adds a prop_data_path property to the ui.eyedropper_depth
operator to allow specifying the property that should be filled with the
depth value.

The idea for this is taken from wm.radial_control, which also uses this
approach to write to a property. This allows us to add the eyedropper
as a button.
