Three-in-one commit: - Compositor now is threaded Enable it with the Scene buttons "Threads". This will handle over nodes to individual threads to be calculated. However, if nodes depend on others they have to wait. The current system only threads per entire node, not for calculating results in parts. I've reshuffled the node execution code to evaluate 'changed' events, and prepare the entire tree to become simply parsed for open jobs with a call to node = getExecutableNode() By default, even without 'thread' option active, all node execution is done within a separate thread. Also fixed issues in yesterdays commit for 'event based' calculations, it didn't do animated images, or execute (on rendering) the correct nodes when you don't have Render-Result nodes included. - Added generic Thread support in blenlib/ module The renderer and the node system now both use same code for controlling the threads. This has been moved to a new C file in blenlib/intern/threads.c. Check this c file for an extensive doc and example how to use it. The current implementation for Compositing allows unlimited amount of threads. For rendering it is still tied to two threads, although it is pretty easy to extend to 4 already. People with giant amounts of cpus can poke me once for tests. :) - Bugfix in creating group nodes Group node definitions demand a clear separation of 'internal sockets' and 'external sockets'. The first are sockets being linked internally, the latter are sockets exposed as sockets for the group itself. When sockets were linked both internal and external, Blender crashed. It is solved now by removing the external link(s).

Created threadsafe MEM_malloc versions in BLI_threads.h, now in use for compositing code. Officially malloc/calloc/free is threadsafe, but our secure malloc system requires all memory blocks to be stored in a single list, so when two threads write in this list you get conflicts.

Thread rendering stability commit. I noticed still several cases where the Imbuf library was called within a thread... and that whilst the Imbuf itself isn't threadsafe. Also the thread lock I added in rendering for loading images actually didn't work, because then it was still possible both threads were accessing the MEM_malloc function at same time. This commit nearly fully replaces ImBuf calls in compositor (giving another nice speedup btw, the way preview images in Nodes were calculated used clumsy imbuf scaling code). I've also centralized the 'mutex' locking for threading, which now only resides in BLI_threads.h. This is used to secure the last ImBuf calls I cannot replace, which is loading images and creating mipmaps. Really hope we get something more stable now!
