Snap system: Adds support to Clip Planes and uses a clip plane to simulate occlusion

This patch adds support for clip_planes (ie ignore what is behind a face)...

The idea is to first execute a raycast to get the polygon to which the mouse cursor points.
Then a snap test is done on the vertices or edges of the polygon.
Then with the normal and location obtained in raycast a new clip_plane is created and the snap over the whole scene is processed ignoring the elements behind the clip_plane.

Here 2 gif of how the previous patch would work on blender2.79:
