NLA SoC: Merge from 2.5 - 21146 to 21178

UI

* Search popup + autocomplete for bones, vertex groups, etc. This
is done with layout.item_pointerR, specifying an RNA collection to
take the items from. Used by constraints and modifiers.

* Some tests with the List template, ignore those for now..

RNA

* Added support for passing collections to/from RNA functions,
this is done using a ListBase of CollectionPointerLink, which
is a standard ListBase link + PointerRNA.

* Added editable active uv/vcol layer to Mesh.
* Armature.bones now includes all bones, not only the ones without
parents.
* Modifier UV layer fields now are allowed to be empty, previously
this would set the name during modifier evaluation if there was
none.

NLA SoC: Theme colours in old defaults files for NLA now get replaced with the nice new colours

fix for importing of transparent faces from .mtl files - ZTrans now is set for them as well.
(what makes importing from SketchUp really nice)

Small fix by jms: rint() isn't available on win32...
(hmm, rint() is conforming to C99, that is _really_ strange...)

2.5

Part one (of probably many :) of Operator review/validation.
Nothing final nor defined, it's reseach :)

- Added tool buttons in "Toolbar" (Tkey). Just four examples
for objectmode, and six for mesh editmode.

(Review in progress is operator internal state vs context, what
do redo exactly, undo vs redo syncing, when op->invoke or not,
etc. This has to be pinned down exactly and frozen asap)

- On undo, clear redo-operator-stack for now (won't work)
- Added call to better detect active/current view3d region.
ED_view3d_context_rv3d(C)
- Fixed some operators that missed correct redo (add-prim etc).

Later more fun!

Additional speed control fixes:
frame blending can now be done on more than two
frames, enabling really fine grained motion blur
if you speed up a sequence with high factors (bigger
than two).

Next step: add morphing support using motion
estimation.

Merge from 2.5 r21112 through r21160

2.5

Makes toolbar region in 3d editor work correctly overlapping, also
when area is subdivided in 4-split, and/or with properties region.

* OBJ exporter almost converted
* added MeshEdge.loose property
* changed mask used in Object.create_*_mesh to CD_MASK_MESH.

Import:
* Objects are created and linked to meshes.
* Since I don't know how to import per-face normals, they are generated automatically by mesh_calc_normals.
* Objects are imported with transformations but without rotation yet.

This fixes several issues with the Speed Control Effect:
* IPO curve-deletion resulted in non-working effect
* easy retiming only allowed enlarging of strips,
now shrinking is also possible (easy retiming:
use the right display handle of input strip and
shrink or enlarge, will make the speed of the
strip exactly fit the effect strip's length)
* frames after end-of-display of input strips can
now be accessed (which is necessary for fix #2)

=> just use easy retiming from now on, it's fun :)

bugfix [#18949] bvh import does not do single rigid bodies
these BVH files are not that common but may as well support it.

using the edge length to weight the vertex blue wasnt wokring very well (removed)

*another blackdots fixed - had forgoted to enable skip-neighbour faces on ao.

Made Mathutils use radians rather then degrees. defining USE_MATHUTILS_DEG for testing existing scripts.
Added conversion for BGE Quaternion WXYZ (Blender/C) -> XYZW (Moto C++).
BGE Python API now uses WXYZ following mathutils (break script warning).

- added MeshFace.normal property
- continuing OBJ exporter conversion

Quick fix to allow reading of <polylist> and <polygons>.
Treating <polylist> as <polygons> in OpenCollada seems intentional, not a bug.

2.5

Rendering preview icons is back!

Note for Andrea: the render code has been decoupled from
drawing, it needs Scene context to be able to run...

At the moment only the search menu calls the new render
code (which is the ID browse menu default anyway)
