BKE functions for managing cache content based on a group.

This uses a complete hierarchy of group instances, based on a path
hierarchy (object names).

Putting

Simple cache manager panel UI in the scene buttons.

This is mostly a simple and unintrusive placeholder to have some way of
making caches accessible, but needs some more thought.

Group pointer property for cache libraries to associate them with an
object group.

This is somewhat experimental, eventually we may want to link to Objects
instead, or allow multiple cache targets for the same cache, etc.

Missing include.

Removed meaningless comment.

`New` operator for adding cache libraries.

New ID datablock 'CacheLibrary', for managing physical cache archives
and files.

At it's core this is just a file path, but many different cache users
may refer to this, so having a dedicated ID block helps. It can be
compared to Image datablocks, which also primarily are used for data
on storage, but can be packed with the blend file, and carry some
additional information that would be cumbersome to keep sync'ed
otherwise.

The name 'CacheLibrary' deliberately resembles the 'Library' datablock:
just as a Library stores ID blocks in a physical file, a CacheLibrary
stores cached data (in Alembic HDF5/Ogawa or other formats).

Fix for remaining PointCache references in the alembic code.

Now, for the time being, uses a simple relative "//blendcache/" folder
path again. This will be adressed later.

PointCache modifier to act as a terminator in modifier stacks.

When writing DerivedMesh data, the modifier result at the point of the
modifier will be used for writing to the cache. If this modifier is not
used the derivedFinal mesh is used instead.

Cache API for export/import of Blender data to/from Alembic files.

The pointcache API is designed to keep the general concept of caching
separate from the concrete Alembic implementation. Other types of file
export/import would be possible, e.g. for OpenVDB data.

Initial Alembic library integration for Blender.

Adds Alembic as a dependency and build support in cmake and scons.

Also extends the install_deps.sh script with a temporary installation
procedure for the Alembic libraries. This is still very hackish and
needs to be improved.

Merge branch 'master' into gooseberry

Revert "Better fix for animation returning negative values when AVsynch is on,"

This reverts commit 459b1a907ce542ec3f10a533d27832ac9dfbc92d.

Alembic: correct last commit

Alembic: cleanup warnings

Alembic: expose CMake var ALEMBIC_INCLUDE_DIR

The include path could be cached to a stale value, with no obvious way to reset.

Customdata caching for CD_ORIGSPACE_MLOOP.

Customdata caching for CD_ORCO.

Basic drawing code for strands loaded from caches.

This is entirely separate from particle systems and their insane
drawing function.

Simplified data structure and reading code for strands in Alembic
caches.
