View2D: Presets for Initialising Views

Improved the View2D API so that initialising View2D data in init() callbacks (called on new regions and also on resizing regions) for regions is easier.

Added a few preset view configurations for use when initialising new views. Views with the V2D_IS_INITIALISED flag set will not be reinitialised in the init() callbacks. Currently, some of these configurations will set/override all settings (like V2D_COMMONVIEW_LIST and V2D_COMMONVIEW_HEADER), while other ones serve a more supplimentary role (i.e. V2D_COMMONVIEW_TIMELINE only sets the x-axis settings, relying on the region to have already set the relevant y-axis settings).
The future of such supplimentary configurations is yet to be seen, as I'm currently not sure whether they will cause the code to become too confusing, as you'd have to keep track of which settings belong/are set where. So far, only a few areas have been ported to use this. Tomorrow I'll check on a few more.

As this commit touches a lot of files, hopefully there aren't any critical bugs I've missed here.

UI: added the following functions to create buttons for RNA properties and for
operators. RNA property buttons will automatically fill in the label, min/max,
etc if they are not specified. Operator menu buttons will look up the key
combination in the handlers and add it automatically.

uiDefButR, uiDefIconButR, uiDefIconTextButR
uiDefButO, uiDefIconButO, uiDefIconTextButO

uiDefButO takes a context pointer to do the key lookup, don't really like this..

2.5: Fix crash in sequencer reading code.

WM: changed WM_operator_call to take an argument, which specifies in
which context to run the operator: WM_OP_DEFAULT, WM_OP_REGION_WIN,
WM_OP_AREA or WM_OP_SCREEN. This also replaces WM_operator_call_rwin
since it is more general.

This is useful for buttons and popup menus to run operators, and also
used by a new function to lookup the keymap item for that operator in
the right context.

UI: bring back function to convert keyboard event to string, and
make the key event button work again.

B
Linking of blenderplayer was failing with unresolved symbols
(initVideoTexture) when building without FFMPEG. Needs
testing with SCons and Makefiles.

2.5

Undo last commit to save screen redraws on are switching,
seems some initialize is missing.

Depricated Image Select window, so it doesnt crash :)

UI: getting popup menus to work again, just the internal interface
and event handling code still, how it integrates with operators and
handlers is not worked out yet. For testing, Ctrl+Q quit now shows
a confirmation popup using the following call:

okee_operator(C, "WM_OT_exit_blender", "Quit Blender");

2.5

Small improvements;

- switch spacedata now doesn't cause full screen refresh and draw
- cursor switching is not part of SCREEN_CHANGED notifier, this
makes area dragging ugly.

2.5

Added notifiers for timeline syncing. Works for Timeline window
only now.
Note that I've removed the malloc-free in a Notifier... notifier
system is still under probabtion :)

Make sure that WITH_OPENEXR is defined when sources are configured
with OpenEXR in the CMake system. This is a compilation fix from
Miguel A. Figueroa Villanueva for building Debug versions of Blender
using OpenEXR (thanks!).

2.5

Mouse cursors now work again

- centralized screen-level cursor changes, no more operator
running for it.
- spacetypes have callback to check/set individual cursor
types. Use notifier SCREEN_CHANGED to make sure it works
on mode changes etc.
- new calls WM_cursor_modal() and WM_cursor_restore() to
make temporarily cursor types during modes.
- used above for view2d cursors.

RNA:
Added some functionality to make inspecting all RNA structs possible. Not used
yet, but can be tested by replacing this line in space_outliner.c:

RNA_main_pointer_create(G.main, &cell.ptr);

with:

RNA_blender_rna_pointer_create(&cell.ptr);

2.5

- depricated area "headbutofs" and "headbutlen", which is now fully
replaced with view2d handling.
- needed to add header default V2D_ALIGN_NO_NEG_Y, V2D_LOCKOFS_Y seems
to not do anything atm :)

- new: running blender in debug (blender -d) will print the current
handler and operator in use (not mousemove)

2.5: added support for setting RNA properties in keymap item,
which will then be set when the operator is called, example:

kmi= WM_keymap_add_item(keymap, "ED_SCR_OT_region_split", SKEY, KM_PRESS, 0, 0);
RNA_enum_set(kmi->ptr, "dir", 'h');

kmi= WM_keymap_add_item(keymap, "ED_SCR_OT_region_split", SKEY, KM_PRESS, KM_SHIFT, 0);
RNA_enum_set(kmi->ptr, "dir", 'v');

There is a hack I had to do here, since properties are defined
as member of wmOperator, will try to fix later, committing now
so it can be used already.

2.5

Testing toy for space editor devs: press F5key in header or channel list
(or any 'alignment constrained' region to flip it to other side.

View2D: Simplification and documentation of settings

I've gone through and simplified some of the redundant options while documenting the various settings (in the code and also in the Wiki Doc), to make it clearer how to use each option.

'Preset' view-types have yet to be fully implemented, but started groundwork for this. Only some commonly used view configurations will be defined using this method. For all others, they still need to define all relavent view settings themselves (as there's too much variation in terms of the various editor's use of View2D).

IPO Editor now draws with channels on the left, like all other anim editors. Now, how to make this wider...

2.5

funtion WM_keymap_add_item() now returns keymap-item, so you can use it
to set default properties for operators with WM_keymap_property_set().

Brecht will fill in this function, requires rna magic!

Example: an operator ED_OB_OT_add_primitive can be configured with
keymap like this:

WM_keymap_property_set(keymapitem, "Primitivetype", "Sphere");

Similar conventions we can use later for button/menu calls.
This will make creating operators easier, allowing a developer to group
tools functionality nicely.
