This was returning an empty allocated string, however almost
all callers checked if the return value was NULL before freeing,
making for misunderstandings on the intended use of this function.
BCAnimationSampler::initialize_curves for example detected the
f-curves animation type to 'bone' based on a non-NULL return value
which never failed.
Also fixes two leaks where the the result of BLI_str_quoted_substrN
wasn't freed.
In the graph editor there is a panel that says "Active Keyframe" for
numerically editing a keyframe's values, but in the code there is no
concept of the "active keyframe." Since this is a useful concept to
have for some other features anyway, this commit adds an active
keyframe index value to FCurves. It also displays it with a theme
color for the active vertex (which didn't exist before) if the
FCurve is active.
The active keyframe in the graph editor is treated similarly to the
active vertex in the 3D view. It is the keyframe most recently selected
with a single click, and it is always selected.
For now, the only real functional change is that the active keyframe
appears in white and it should be more predictable which keyframe is
being edited in the sidebar panel.

This addresses warnings from Clang-Tidy's `readability-else-after-return`
rule in the `source/blender/editors/animation` module.
No functional changes.
Previously the decimation would take the whole curve into account when
decimating and not just the selected part.
This also contains various smaller bug fixes for the fcurve decimation.

By popular demand, the CLean Keyframes operator will now
leave handles and other interpolation settings untouched.
Previously, it would recreate the keyframes from scratch,
keeping only the frame + value, under the assumption that
the handle information was "bad" (i.e. the source of bumps
and roughness, due to bad hand tweaking). However, since
most animators use this on hand-keyed animation instead of
motion-capture data, this assumption didn't hold, and was
actually overly destructive - wiping out lots of hand-adjusted
curve data.
Notes:
* Really need to address RNA setters case, end up adding way too much
G.main here these days... :/
* Added Main pointer into bAnimContext, helps a lot in anim code ;)
There were 2 issues here (first was the one reported):
1) Curve shape changes if multiple consecutive pairs of keyframes
are selected. The problem is that after the first pair is handled,
subsequent pairs get sampled on the basis of the modified curve.
2) With multiple separate "islands" selected, unselected points in between
would get ignored, causing the entire curve to get sampled.
To make it easier for animators working in a multipass pose-to-pose workflow
when inserting breakdown keyframes and so forth, it is now possible to specify
the "type" of keyframe being created (i.e. the colour of the keyframe, when drawn
in the Dope Sheet).
Usage:
1) Choose the type of keyframe ("Keyframe", "Breakdown", "Extreme", etc.) from
the new dropdown located between the AutoKeying and KeyingSet widgets on the
timeline header.
2) Insert keyframes
3) Rejoyce that your newly created keyframes have now been coloured for you already
in the DopeSheet.
Todo:
* Look into a way of using the actual keyframe colours (from the theme) for the icons
of these types.
Basically it's a clean keyframes tool, but also removes a channel if the
only remaining keyframe has the default value only and is not used by
drivers or generative modifiers.
It's was used to help with performance of keyframe-heavy scenes in
gooseberry.
Note, as always the curve left after the clean tool is used is not the
same as the original, so this tool is better used before doing custom
editing of fcurves and after initial keyframe insertion, to get rid
of any unwanted keyframes inserted while doing mass keyframe insertion
(by selecting all bones and pressing I for instance)
