2.5 Bugfixes:

* Reverting some changes I made to try and get Action Groups with no viewable F-Curves, but were collapsed to get hidden. These were causing buggy behaviour

* Move bones to armature layers, and change armature layer operators now use the new automatic properties drawing invoke callback. This allows changing the buttons there immediately affect the bones in the viewport

* #19581: Text Editor: "Jump To" (go to line) not working
Made this use the automatic operator props invoke callback, and fixed an RNA properties bug for this (the default value and range values were swapped).

* PoseLib rename pose operator now works again. Once again, this uses the auto-props popup. Also, improved the code here while I was at it.

* Disabled non-functional/old entry in Select Linked operator ("IPO's")

Changing the animation editor filters should now result in the editors updating in realtime afterwards again.

* ui fix for texture influences

Project option for snap to faces.

This is similar to the old retopo all option but uses the snapping code and not the openGL depth buffer (it's thus more precise).

Not sure if making it available as a snap option is sensible, this is up for discussion.

NOTE: it will get slow fast on large meshes, we need to plug in an acceleration structure into snapping.

This will need an icon too.

updated to work with 2.5x, currently no UI options.

skin tool from 2.4, am loathed to do this but durian artists want.

remove C specials menus, reuse python ones from the header menu instead.

Deep Shadow Buffer

Since the deep shadow buffer summer of code project is not actively under
development anymore, I decided to build my own DSM implementation from
scratch, based on reusing as much existing shadow buffer code as possible.
It's not very advanced, but implements the basic algorithm. Just enough so
we can do shading tests with it, optimizations and other improvements can
be done later.

Supported:
* Classical shadow buffer options: filter, soft, bias, ..
* Multiple sample buffers, merged into one.
* Halfway trick to support lower bias.
* Compression with user defined threshold.
* Non-textured alpha transparency, using Casting Alpha value.
* Strand render.

Not Supported:
* Tiling disk cache, so can use a lot of memory.
* Per part rendering for lower memory usage during creation.
* Colored shadow.
* Textured color/alpha shadow.
* Mipmaps for faster filtering.
* Volume shadows.

Usage Hints:
* Use sample buffers + smaller size rather than large size.
* For example 512 size x 9 sample buffers instead of 2048 x 1.
* Compression threshold 0.05 works, but is on the conservative side.

added rna api MVert,MFace & MEdge index properties
eg.
for v in me.verts: print(v.index)

added calc_edges as an option eg.
mesh.update(calc_edges=True)

This is needed when adding faces to an existing mesh which create new edges.

Fix #19631: soft size setting for lamps was not RNA wrapped correct.

Bugfix: crash in assigning automatic vertex weights from armature.

*Moved the texture reordering buttons to the side
*Use same icons for reordering in constraints, modifiers.

Cocoa : fix secondary window display bug issue

*Added ability to enable GLSL display in the 3D Views View panel (n key).
*Commented out the Quad View options since they don't work yet.

texture slots up/down back

minor changes to texture ui, not user visible

Following up on revision 23783

Transform saves back tool settings only when they weren't set as operator argument (and only when running modal).

Bugfix: texture nodes header was still showing wrong texture
when using node materials.

macro's can set options for the operators they execute

changed extrude, rip and duplicate to disable proportional editing however this gives a different problem now.
Commented in transform.c
// XXX If modal, save settings back in scene

this changes disables the option whenever the macro used used.

Fixed [#19624] Small typo in Network Render.
