Fix T47898: Error adding mask node with "Add Mask Node" operator

This operator is intended to be used by drag-n-drop, no user invocation
is expected to happen here. Use Add->Search to quickly add nodes instead.

Cleanup: Unused variable

Graph Editor UI: Experimental Tweak - Use tabs for properties region, to make it easier to navigate

GPencil: Note that clicking outside the active area also exits draw mode

Fix T47959: make tip for 'individual origins' pivot point in UV editor more accurate.

Based on D1877 from Philipp Oeser (lichtwerk), thanks.

GPencil: Remove the old UserPrefs-based On/Off Stroke Smoothing method

This never really worked that well, and often ended up being far too strong
to be of practical use. The new options do similar things, but with greater
control, so removing this old method now.

GPencil: Smooth and Subdivision variable/setting naming

On second thought, these might be better names for these... I'm still not 100%
happy with these, but they will do for now.

(Best results currently seem to be with smooth 0.7, and subdivision steps 1 or 2)

GPencil: Removed the restriction of not subdividing strokes further if it exceeds GP_STROKE_BUFFER_MAX

Assuming that this subdivision + smoothing mostly only happens at the end of a stroke
anyway, enforcing this max-points limit in some cases was resulting in strokes that
weren't quite getting subdivided properly as the others.

GPencil: Code Cleanup - Simplify and clarify the code for subdividing a stroke

GPencil: Restore ability for Smooth brush to affect pressure values of strokes

Code Cleanup - Style tweaks

Improve grease pencil stroke quality

Improve the quality of current grease pencil strokes adding a new dynamic smooth and subdivision. The level of smooth and subdivide can be adjusted using UI parameters. These options are disabled by default in order to keep the grease pencil stroke compatible with any existing add-on.

Both parameters are defined at layer level.

More tooltip tweaks

The "UI_OT_eyedropper_id" operator only actually works in the 3D view,
so change the tooltip to match that

Fix T45075: "Error, region type 2 missing in - name:"File", id:5"

Unexpectedly found out what was going wrong here. If a file was saved with a filebrowser open, we searched for the channel region in the wrong list (see 'ListBase *regionbase = (sl == sa->spacedata.first) ? &sa->regionbase : &sl->regionbase;').

Minor annoyance is that I had to move the loookup to the 2.77.1 version patch now.

Fix T47697: Smoke simulation doesn't work in viewport

Seems to be a division by zero error.

Should be safe for an upcoming 'a' release.

Fix changing view in default video editing layout broken

Own mistake in 802bb422671
Apparently we only store one preview region for all views, didn't know that (makes sense though).

Fix T47962: It's possible to set a Sound strip as a modifier Mask.

Cleanup: Silence some compiler warnings

Driver Eyedropper: Auto detection/correction magic for rotation properties

When linking a rotation property to a non-rotation property (going in either
direction - i.e. rot -> normal, normal -> rot), the driver expression will
now be set so that the new drivers behave as expected (i.e. you get the values
you see, instead of "weird" values that seem several orders of magnitude off).

This may not be that great for everyone (i.e. the rare users out there who
actually like to look at their rotations in radians), but they usually know
what they're doing anyway, so this will be easy to correct.

Drivers: Add a "none" mode for use when adding drivers

Although it isn't currently exposed, this allows for the old behaviour,
where an "empty" driver was added (without any target assigned yet).
For this reason, it's also referred to as the "Manual" mode.

There are also some attempts at improving the tooltips + names for the
other modes (again, not shown anywhere yet)
