This patch adds support for IES files, a file format that is commonly used to store the directional intensity distribution of light sources.
The new IES node is supposed to be plugged into the Strength input of the Emission node of the lamp.
Since people generating IES files do not really seem to care about the standard, the parser is flexible enough to accept all test files I have tried.
Some common weirdnesses are distributing values over multiple lines that should go into one line, using commas instead of spaces as delimiters and adding various useless stuff at the end of the file.
The user interface of the node is similar to the script node, the user can either select an internal Text or load a file.
Internally, IES files are handled similar to Image textures: They are stored in slots by the LightManager and each unique IES is assigned to one slot.
The local coordinate system of the lamp is used, so that the direction of the light can be changed. For UI reasons, it's usually best to add an area light,
rotate it and then change its type, since especially the point light does not immediately show its local coordinate system in the viewport.

OVERVIEW
* In 2.7 terminology, all layers and groups are now collection datablocks.
* These collections are nestable, linkable, instanceable, overrideable, ..
which opens up new ways to set up scenes and link + override data.
* Viewport/render visibility and selectability are now a part of the collection
and shared across all view layers and linkable.
* View layers define which subset of the scene collection hierarchy is excluded
for each. For many workflows one view layer can be used, these are more of an
advanced feature now.
OUTLINER
* The outliner now has a "View Layer" display mode instead of "Collections",
which can display the collections and/or objects in the view layer.
* In this display mode, collections can be excluded with the right click menu.
These will then be greyed out and their objects will be excluded.
* To view collections not linked to any scene, the "Blender File" display mode
can be used, with the new filtering option to just see Colleciton datablocks.
* The outliner right click menus for collections and objects were reorganized.
* Drag and drop still needs to be improved. Like before, dragging the icon or
text gives different results, we'll unify this later.
LINKING AND OVERRIDES
* Collections can now be linked into the scene without creating an instance,
with the link/append operator or from the collections view in the outliner.
* Collections can get static overrides with the right click menu in the outliner,
but this is rather unreliable and not clearly communicated at the moment.
* We still need to improve the make override operator to turn collection instances
into collections with overrides directly in the scene.
PERFORMANCE
* We tried to make performance not worse than before and improve it in some
cases. The main thing that's still a bit slower is multiple scenes, we have to
change the layer syncing to only updated affected scenes.
* Collections keep a list of their parent collections for faster incremental
updates in syncing and caching.
* View layer bases are now in a object -> base hash to avoid quadratic time
lookups internally and in API functions like visible_get().
VERSIONING
* Compatibility with 2.7 files should be improved due to the new visibility
controls. Of course users may not want to set up their scenes differently
now to avoid having separate layers and groups.
* Compatibility with 2.8 is mostly there, and was tested on Eevee demo and Hero
files. There's a few things which are know to be not quite compatible, like
nested layer collections inside groups.
* The versioning code for 2.8 files is quite complicated, and isolated behind
#ifdef so it can be removed at the end of the release cycle.
KNOWN ISSUES
* The G-key group operators in the 3D viewport were left mostly as is, they
need to be modified still to fit better.
* Same for the groups panel in the object properties. This needs to be updated
still, or perhaps replaced by something better.
* Collections must all have a unique name. Less restrictive namespacing is to
be done later, we'll have to see how important this is as all objects within
the collections must also have a unique name anyway.
* Full scene copy and delete scene are exactly doing the right thing yet.

We handle doversion for the scene properties, but not for the
view layer overrides.
Overrides will be implemented in a different way via dynamic overrides.
For now this data is completely lost.
in Scene DNA is available in scene.display New DNA Struct DisplayData
Added RNA (scene.display).
We already have scene.display_settings which contains non viewpoert
specific color management settings. I did not merge those two.
Patch should be in line with the ideas that @brecht wrote in T55008.
As I am not in detail aware of the decisions that have been made for the override feature I want a short review if it is in line with the plans.

We use 'reference' to designate the linked ID which is being overridden
by the local one, so using 'reference' to designate the stored local ID
in apply RNA code was... not a good idea. ;)

This commit removes all references to the old timeline editor.
Unfortuantely, the removal of the Timeline spacetype defining
functions has ended up breaking the version patching code I'd
been working on earlier (as now, the editor gets marked as
"unknown/info" before we get a chance to patch it!)
Brecht authored this commit, but he gave me the honours to actually
do it. Here it goes; Blender Internal. Bye bye, you did great!
* Point density, voxel data, ocean, environment map textures were removed,
as these only worked within BI rendering. Note that the ocean modifier
and the Cycles point density shader node continue to work.
* Dynamic paint using material shading was removed, as this only worked
with BI. If we ever wanted to support this again probably it should go
through the baking API.
* GPU shader export through the Python API was removed. This only worked
for the old BI GLSL shaders, which no longer exists. Doing something
similar for Eevee would be significantly more complicated because it
uses a lot of multiplass rendering and logic outside the shader, it's
probably impractical.
* Collada material import / export code is mostly gone, as it only worked
for BI materials. We need to add Cycles / Eevee material support at some
point.
* The mesh noise operator was removed since it only worked with BI
material texture slots. A displacement modifier can be used instead.
* The delete texture paint slot operator was removed since it only worked
for BI material texture slots. Could be added back with node support.
* Not all legacy viewport features are supported in the new viewport, but
their code was removed. If we need to bring anything back we can look at
older git revisions.
* There is some legacy viewport code that I could not remove yet, and some
that I probably missed.
* Shader node execution code was left mostly intact, even though it is not
used anywhere now. We may eventually use this to replace the texture
nodes with Cycles / Eevee shader nodes.
* The Cycles Bake panel now includes settings for baking multires normal
and displacement maps. The underlying code needs to be merged properly,
and we plan to add back support for multires AO baking and add support
to Cycles baking for features like vertex color, displacement, and other
missing baking features.
* This commit removes DNA and the Python API for BI material, lamp, world
and scene settings. This breaks a lot of addons.
* There is more DNA that can be removed or renamed, where Cycles or Eevee
are reusing some old BI properties but the names are not really correct
anymore.
* Texture slots for materials, lamps and world were removed. They remain
for brushes, particles and freestyle linestyles.
* 'BLENDER_RENDER' remains in the COMPAT_ENGINES of UI panels. Cycles and
other renderers use this to find all panels to show, minus a few panels
that they have their own replacement for.
ViewRender was removed, which means we can't get the render engine for files
saved in 2.8. We assume that any files saved in 2.8 were intended to use Eevee
and set the engine to that.
A fix included with this is that .blend thumbails now draw with Clay mode,
and never Eevee or Cycles. These were drawn with solid mode in 2.7, and should
be very fast and not e.g. load heavy image textures.

This commit essentially introduces a new RNA property flag, which when
set prevents affected property from being processed at all in comparison
code (also used to automatically generate static override rules).
The idea is to use it on very low-level data in RNA, like e.g. mesh's
geometry or psys' particles collections.
For now only applied to psys' particle collections, on the main mesh of
Agent327 pigeon, it goes from 100ms to 0.5ms on a full
auto-override-generating comparison...
Also added some new RNA property helper funcs to check on comparable and
overridable status.
Allows for each workspace to have it's own add-ons on display.
Filtering for: Panels, Menus, Keymaps & Manipulators.
Automatically applies to add-ons at the moment.
Access from workspace, toggled off by default
once enabled, add-ons can be white-listed.
See D3076
Code also handling auto-generation of static overrides.
Aside from some naming consistency cleanup, this commit:
* Is the first step addressing the 'operator' issue with static
overrides, by implementing a first version of the 'restore from
reference' behavior.
* Fixes several issues that were discovered on the way in enhanced
RNA comparision code, like the 'zero-length dynamic array' case, or some
infinite looping caused by some non-ID pointers (that for some
mysterious reasons did not show up previously...).
* Factorizes a bit said RNA comparison code (auto-static override
generation and comparison/check were essentially doing the same thing).
Remove unused func from public API.
Make parameters & variables naming more consistent accross the code.
Move RNAproperty validation/'conversion' (for IDProps case) to upper
level in code, this will avoid some useless re-processing.
This is essentially a huge refactor/extension of our existing RNA
compare & copy code, since static override needs more advanced handling here.
Note that not all new features are implemented yet, advanced things like
collections insertion/deletion are still TODO (medium priority).
This completes the ground work for overrides, remaining commits will be
about UI and some basic/testing activation of overrides for a limited
set of data-blocks & properties.
For details see https://developer.blender.org/D2417
Adds support for defining a number of tags as part of the rna-struct
definition, which its properties can set similar to property-flags.
BPY supports setting these tags when defining custom properties too.
* To define tags for a struct (which its properties can use then), define the tags in an `EnumPropertyItem` array, and assign them to the struct using `RNA_def_struct_property_tags(...)`.
* To set tags for an RNA-property in C, use the new `RNA_def_property_tags(...)`.
* To set tags for an RNA-property in Python, use the newly added tags parameter. E.g. `bpy.props.FloatProperty(name="Some Float", tags={'SOME_TAG', 'ANOTHER_TAG'})`.
This will later be used to show advanced operator properties separate from
basic (as in non-advanced) ones in the UI.
Tagging a single operator property in C should be done via
`WM_operatortype_prop_tag()`. It does additional checks for type safety
that `RNA_def_property_tags()` doesn't do.
To avoid having to tag each advanced property individually, multiple
ones can be tagged by wrapping them into
`WM_operatortype_props_advanced_bein()` and
`WM_operatortype_props_advanced_end()` calls. It's also possible to only
call `_begin()`, all properties added after this will get tagged then.
In most cases this last approach should be sufficient.
Example of Python usage:
`my_float = bpy.props.FloatProperty(name="Some Float", tags={'ADVANCED'})`

definition, which its properties can set similar to property-flags.

* To set tags for an RNA-property in Python, use the newly added tags parameter. E.g. `bpy.props.FloatProperty(name="Some Float", tags={'SOME_TAG', 'ANOTHER_TAG'})`.
Actual usage of this will be added in a follow-up commit.
The RenderResult struct still has a listbase of RenderLayer, but that's ok
since this is strictly for rendering.
* Subversion bump (to 2.80.2)
* DNA low level doversion (renames) - only for .blend created since 2.80 started
Note: We can't use DNA_struct_elem_find or get file version in init_structDNA,
so we are manually iterating over the array of the SDNA elements instead.
Note 2: This doversion change with renames can be reverted in a few months. But
so far it's required for 2.8 files created between October 2016 and now.

Engine is not stored in WorkSpaces. That defines the "context" engine, which
is used for the entire UI.
The engine used for the poll of nodes (add node menu, new nodes when "Use Nodes")
is obtained from context.
Introduce a ViewRender struct for viewport settings that are defined for
workspaces and scene. This struct will be populated with the hand-picked
settings that can be defined per workspace as per the 2.8 design.
* use_scene_settings
* properties editor: workshop + organize context path
Use Scene Settings
==================
For viewport drawing, Workspaces have an option to use the Scene render
settings (F12) instead of the viewport settings.
This way users can quickly preview the final render settings, engine and
View Layer. This will affect all the editors in that workspace, and it will be
clearly indicated in the top-bar.
Properties Editor: Add Workspace and organize context path
==========================================================
We now have the properties of:
Scene, Scene > Layer, Scene > World, Workspace
[Scene | Workspace] > Render Layer > Object
[Scene | Workspace] > Render Layer > Object > Data

It has been deprecated since at least macOS 10.9 and fully removed in 10.12.
I am unsure if we should remove it only in 2.8. But you cannot build blender with it supported when using a modern xcode version anyway so I would tend towards just removing it also for 2.79 if that ever happens.
