Animation Editors - Small Visual Tweaks for Usability

== Datablock filters in the headers are now hidden by default ==
This has been done because users were generally not frequently
toggling these, so quick access vs screen-estate cost wasn't really
worth it to have these always showing and taking up space on the
header.

Usage notes:
- To show these again, click on the "Filter more..." toggle.
- The "Filter more..." button DOES NOT affect whether those filters
apply.

Design notes:
- I tried many other button/icon combinations, but those were either
too space-hogging, vague, or had wrong button order.
- I also tried putting a box around these, but there was too much
padding.
- The ordering of the filters has also been modified a bit so that the
group/fcurve-name filters occur earlier in the list, given that
they're used more frequently

== Graph Editor - Use Fancy Drawing ==
Renamed this option to "Use High Quality Drawing" as suggested by
Matt. "Fancy" isn't really descriptive enough.

== Icons for Mode Dropdowns ==
The mode dropdowns in the DopeSheet and Graph Editors now have icons.
- These were important enough (compared to the auto-snap mode) that
some visual decoration was perhaps warranted.
- It makes it easier to see at a glance what mode the view is in

Icon choices:
- In some cases, the icons seem like quite a natural fit IMO (i.e.
outliner<->dopesheet, key<->shapekey editor, grease pencil, fcurve
editor)
- Action Editor uses an "object" icon to indicate that this is object-
level only for now (though I hope to find a way to address this
soon/later). This will be kept like this until then.
- There isn't any icon for drivers, so after trying a few
alternatives, I settled on area-link icon, since it ties together two
entities using some link.
