Add an option to the setup assistant to skip configuring the path to
Blender. It will just use the `default` option, which causes the Workers
to try and find Blender on their own.

Add a new job type that can render a single image. It is broken up
into separate tiles, each of which can be rendered independently by a
worker. Only tested with Cycles.
Adaptive sampling is supported. For this, each tile is expanded by 16
pixels in each direction, which is later cropped off before merging
the tiles.
Denoising is not (yet) supported, as Blender/Cycles does not output
all the necessary data into EXR layers.
Tile sizes should (for now) be a power of 2, to avoid alignment
issues.

The docs listed the ffmpeg command as `create-video` but it seems that the actual command is `frames-to-video`.

Manager: Instead of embedding the worker tag info in a fetched `Job`,
just include its UUID.
Webapp: fetch the worker tag by UUID, instead of using the embedded
info.
Show the worker tag name (and its description in a tooltip) in the job
details. When no worker tag is assigned, "All Workers" is shown in a more
dimmed colour.
This also renames the "Type" field to "Job Type". "Tag" and "Type" could
be confused, and now they're displayed as "Worker Tag" and "Job Type".
The UI in the add-on's submission interface is also updated for this, so
that that also shows "Worker Tag" (instead of just "Tag").
Flamenco treats assets differently, depending on whether they're referenced
by an absolute or a blendfile-relative path. This is now actually
documented.
A job first goes to `pause-requested` status, during which any `active` task
gets a chance to be completed. Once there are no more active tasks, the job
goes to `paused` state (or `failed`, if that is applicable).

Only emit the `activeJobDeleted` event when the active job was deleted.
Previously this was emitted on _any_ job deletion, which would make working
with the web interface quite confusing when mass deletion was happening,
as it would always deselect the job, even when showing an unrelated job.
Document installation & use of sqlc.
Installing sqlc is only necessary to regenerate the database code. Once
generated, the code is independent of sqlc.
Add a screenshot of the Manager's log on the terminal. This should make
it clearer which "Manager output" is meant, also for people who aren't
familiar with terminals.
Fixes#104303
Reword so that the section starts with the suggestion that each problem
has a solution. And make it an enumerated list to clarify the structure
of the answer.
Updated the troubleshooting section of the FAQ to include guidance on checking the firewall and potential third-party antivirus issues when the Worker cannot connect to the Manager. This enhances the user experience by addressing common connectivity issues more comprehensively.
