Merging r38704 through r38732 from trunk into soc-2011-tomato

3D Audio GSoC:
Main: Complete rewrite of the sequencer related audio code to support 3D Audio objects later and especially adressing the animation system problems (see mailing list if interested).
Note: Animation is not working yet, so with this commit volume animation doesn't work anymore, that's the next step.

Minor things:
* Changed AUD_Reference behaviour a little to be more usage safe.
* Fixed bug in AUD_I3DHandle: Missing virtual destructor
* Fixed enmus in AUD_Space.h
* Fixed a warning in rna_scene.c
* Removed an unneeded call in rna_sound.c

startup.blend Theming/AnimEditor Defaults Tweaks

- Default size of Graph Editor handle vertices is now 4 (up from 3).
This "small" change seems to be enough to make a substantial
difference when it comes to actually differentiating between these

- "Only Selected" DopeSheet filter is enabled for new Graph Editor
instances by default. It helps hone in on the F-Curves of the data
most animators hope to just be refining the motion for (i.e. the
selected stuff)

- "Only Selected Keyframe Handles" is now enabled, to reduce clutter
from handles of nearby keys getting in the way.

correct misc warnings

F-Curve Drawing - Smoother curves

Bezier curves are now drawn smoother (i.e. less segmented), especially
for curve segments where there is a very large vertical displacement
over a short period of time (i.e. 120 degrees rotation over 1 frame)
and/or often when zoomed in a bit too.

- Made the resolution calculation take the vertical distance into
account too, instead of just the horizontal distance.
- Segment multiplier changed from 3 to 5, as this seems to give better
zoomed-in performance.

fix for NULL pointer crash with operator repeat, looks like error print got mixed up.

Experimental drawing tweak: make active F-Curve get drawn with thicker
line width

This should help make it stand out better from the background, though
it has the risk that values may not be so clearly picked up visually

include menu ID's in tooltips when python tips are enabled, there was no way to find the ID of a menu which become annoying if you wanted to reference it from a script.

Fix #28087: Opening files in the text editor ignores the last newline 'n'

It was tricky conversion of file buffer to text lines. Should work fine now.

set the development cycle to 'beta'.

py api:
- added menu templates
- move template menu into the header of the text editor (so users will find more easily)
- updated mathutils examples, switching the order of multiplication.

BGE Animations: Adding a new choice for vertex deformation for armatures, which can be found in the Armature's Skeleton panel by the Deform options. Before only Blender's armature_deform_verts() was used. Now users can choose a vertex deformation function that is optimized for the BGE. At the moment it is mostly a copy of armature_deform_verts() with various chunks of code removed, and the BLI_math code was replaced with Eigen2. In my test scene, the new function offered about a 40% improvement over armature_deform_verts() (17~19ms rasterizer to 11~12ms). The only current limitation that I'm aware of if that B-Bone segments are not supported in the BGE version, and I will probably leave it out. I would like to also limit the BGE version to 4 weights to make things easier for a GPU version, but this may just make things slower (sorting weights to find the top 4).

Return of Screw tool:
----------------------------------------------
Screw tool brought back. Based on a patch submitted
by howardt in IRC.

Camera tracking integration
===========================

- Split clip hotkeys into two categories:
* Global
* Editing
This allows to re-use such hotkeys as track markers
from properties region without worrying about conflicts.
- Anchor point could now be offseted from marker position.
- Pattern can now be symmetrical relative to marker position only.
- Changes to mouse sliding:
* Left top rectangle used for marker position and now
it's half inside and half outside of marker.
* Right bottom corners are for size.
* Anchor point can be slided with mouse to adjust offset.
- Resolved conflict caused by left-mouse selection option.
Now it works perfectly with sliding -- no more "sticky" keys or so.
- Fixed some typos.
