added needed stub for player (renderpasses)

Accidentally committed without log...

This commit removes old preview-image signals for Compositor, this was
obsolete when event-based updates were added, and was still causing
recalculations for example on loading files.

Added better safety in vertex/weight paint, so it survives painting outside
the window edge. Also did a paranoia larger memory allocation... weird
reports I got.

Three feats;

- RenderLayers with 'view layers' set, now also take visible lights into
account. Works just like for scene layer settings.

- On ESC from render, compositing (if set) is being skipped too

- While rendering with multiple RenderLayers it will end with a display
of the current RenderLayer (as in Scene buttons)

Duplicator bugfix: particle duplicators were not restoring the matrix for
the duplicated object correctly. This appeared like object disappeared.

Note; to see this fix work on older files, you have to invoke a depsgraph
call, like by grabbing the duplicated object.

Render fix: object-duplicators now give their layer setting to the
duplicates, enabling lighting and layer-render properly.

If Images have relative path, and come from a library, it uses the library
path as reference for loading the image.

features & fixes:

- Enabled Groups to execute in Compositor. They were ignored still.
Note; inside of groups nothing is cached, so a change of a group input
will recalculate it fully. This is needed because groups are linked
data (instances use same internal nodes).

- Made Composit node "Viewer" display correctly input for images with
1/2/3/4 channels.

- Added pass rendering, tested now with only regular Materials. For
Material nodes this is quite more complex... since they cannot be
easily separated in passes (each Material does a full shade)
In this commit all pass render is disabled though, will continue work on
that later.

- What did remain is the 'Normal' pass output. Normal works very nice for
relighting effects. Use the "Normal Node" to define where more or less
light should be. (Use "Value Map" node to tweak influence of the
Normal node 'dot' output.)

- EVIL bug fix: I've spend almost a day finding it... when combining AO and
mirror render, the event queue was totally screwing up... two things not
related at all!
Found out error was in ray-mirror code, which was using partially
uninitialized 'ShadeInput' data to pass on to render code.

- Another fix; made sure that while thread render, the threads don't get
events, only the main program will do. Might fix issues reported by
people on linux/windows.

Curve tool was not threadsafe... it was storing premultiplied curves in
a function (static vars) itself, causing mixups of curve data on usage.

* This should have come along with the cursors commit before, to make the standard cursor show when over a window header. *blush*

Bug #3854: Extruded/Bevelled text objects didn't get the right materials
for front/back faces. This should also fix and enable overlapping extruded/
bevelled characters.

yet another temporary strange but straightforward hack for a script at orange to work! that is: while Joseph is working on the actual Constraint API for bones etc., this allows our armature script to set influences with a simple call: armatureobject.setConstraintInfluenceForBone(bonename, constraintname, influence); fails silently at failure ('cause the c calls used do and no retvals are checked) and is in the strange place (as the current api is largely not object level) but works for us for now (e.g. next few weeks).

Strangely, the BLI_timestr() function returns nonsense on linux for
ia64. It appears that if I get rid of the fmod expression, and
use integer math I get the right values. Hopefully this isn't a
problem for anybody.

bugfix: Object.Get() throws ValueError rather than AttributeError.

3ds importer distributed with Blender 2.41 is broken in 2 places so bugfixed and updated...

Version 0.93
- Tested with 400 3ds files from turbosquid, model cd's and net samples.
- Tactfully ignore faces that used the same verts twice.
- Rollback to 0.83 sloppy un-reorganized code, new code broke UV coord loading.
- Converted from NMesh to Mesh. First importer to use Mesh.
- Faster and cleaner new names.
- Use external comprehensive image loader.
- Re intergrated 0.92 and 0.9 changes
- Fixes for 2.41 compat.
- Non textured faces do not use a texture flag.

Added a function for importers to use, comprehensive image loader takes an imagepath and a file path- and imports the image, if it exists it uses the one alredy loaded or does a realy good job of finding the right image case insensitite if the normal path is not found. looks in all the logical places for the image- If teh image isnt found then a new dummy image is returned.
The nice thing about this is you can request an image and you know youll get an image back- without doing your own error handeling.

fix for bug of long group long name, bug found and fixed for bmx007
.

removing dead experimental code

Made preview render only use non-threaded tile processor, got reports
of crashes, and noticed here theres something not well functioning
with ghost & threads, probably. Will test that tomorrow more.
