This avoids having bunch of cached images when doing animation rendering,
keeping all the memory available for rendered itself.
This keeps memory usage low when rendering huge edits with mixed
scenes and movie strips.
This should not affect on sped of video encoding, which was confirmed by
some own tests.

Issue was caused by some stuff happenign in wm_operator_finish() which uses
to somehow restore changes made by transformation invoke function.
Solved by not calling translation operator directly from duplication operator
(which is in fact really tricky) and use macros instead. This macros calls
duplication operator which simply duplicates strip, and then calls translation
operator.
* Remove all code for Texture and Sequencer plugin system, this never worked in 2.5x / 2.6x and is therefore not needed anymore.
* DNA structures are kept, all read/writefile code is gone.
... instead add scene.sequencer_editor_create / clear, these match id.animation_data_* functions.
- refactor for names, for scene level functions call them BKE_sequencer_*
* Remove RNA, Operator and UI for Texture and Sequence plugins.
Since 2.5x no effort has been done to bring that back, so there is simply no reason in keeping that code and the UI for that ;-)
* Low Level code still exists and is unchanged.
After discussion with Campbell we found much nicer solution which
keeps operation with data much more clear:
- Refresh Sequencer is totally harmless, do not touch actual data
and just removes everything from cache
- Reload Strip will reload data and adjust it's length for all
selected strips without affecting on length of strip itself
- Reload Strip and Adjust length will do the same but will also
adjust length of strip itself.
(also fixes special request from Ian for Mango)
Added operator to update actual content length of all selected strips.
Can be useful for scenes and movies as well after doing making changes to
scene/movie.
Can be improved further to deal better with cases when strip has got effect
and it's get reshuffled because of overlapping after changing it's length.
