We needed the 'background' feature here, since we never wait on those preview-generation tasks.
Note that it also simplifies the code, and as usual testing is needed here on all possible platforms...
Filenames over 128 chars would crash.
Move BLI_newname into file_ops,
this was only used in one place and isn't all that re-usable.
Also remove special behavior for 4 digits.
Adjusts view after mouse/border selection if some selected items are out of view bounds.
To get as much of the selection into view as possible, this adjusts view first for the last, then for the first element in the selection.
Also, if region is pretty small, view adjustment is skipped, as otherwise the view is focused on the first element only, which isn't really useful IMHO.
Maybe not so nice: Since we do two view alignment iterations, UI_view2d_curRect_validate, which is a rather big function *might* be called twice under certain circumstances (border select & total size of selected elements is exceeds view bounds). I think that's totally acceptable though.
Basically, after border selecting, a wrong file was selected by using arrow keys if the screen was scrolled a bit vertically. Reason was that we didn't use correct view space coordinates but region space coordinates for measuring distance from mouse to first/last file in selection after border select.
As of this release we're able to navigate with the keyboard in the filebrowsing area. The button caption is changing to an appropriate string whenever a new entry is selected. In @Severins original code a different method was used to determine if a directory was choosen or not, but this got lost while merging the filebrowser rework.
Thanks to @mont29 for review!
Using the global scheduler here is not a really good idea - `filelist_cache_previewf()` is not a short task
that run once, but it's a loop that keeps cheking for work in a TODO queue. This means it won't quickly allow other tasks
to start, so it should not be in the global scheduler.
In fact, asynchronous tasks (that is, tasks that will live for quite a bit of time, and often sleep a lot) should never use
global scheduler, they would steal computing resources from heavy-duty, short-time living ones - and possibly even completely
stall threaded tasks (if all worker threads are executing long-life tasks...).
We could probably even completely bypass the scheduler/task thing here (and directly use threads), but it does not have
that much of an over-head, and still offers easy handling of threading stuff...
from system/user bookmarks' name if possible.
Volume label on Windows was request from T46083, makes Blender more in line
with 'common' filebrowsing on this OS.
And now, we automatically set name of recent entries from the bookmarks, if path
can be found there, more consistent too from user PoV.
We were still using main borwser's FileDirEntryArr to own memory of entries currently in cache.
That was OK for common caching operation, but if was not released when clearing cache!
Nothing dramatic, since that was cleared too, but less often, so e.g. by changing sorting
options you could pile up more and more no-more-used entries there...
Anyway, there is no reason to do that, much more sound and clean to keep everything
cache-related in dedicated FileDirEntryCache struct.
This means main borwser's FileDirEntryArr is now always expected to not store any actual entry!
Note: this can probably be cleaned up a bit more, but would wait after 2.76 for this!
It's needed especially for the menu entry "recover auto save" where you'd like to have the files sorted by date most of the time but it could be useful in other places too.
There should be no functional change in other areas, I just added the missing parameter (FILE_SORT_ALPHA).
Was a request from @sebastian_k at #BCon13, so at least one guy needs it ;)

An entry could already exist in misc cache, when creating it for block cache, leading to double-creation.
Issue was not that serious (no memleak or so), but nasty still. Thanks to Severin for notifying the assert.
It basically rewrites most of filelist.c, with some more limited changes in other areas of filebrowser.
From user perspective, it:
* Removes some info in 'long' drawing mode (owner, permissions) - OS-specific data that do not really matter in Blender!
* Makes short/long display 'fixed' size (among four choices, like thumbnails mode).
* Allows to list several layers of dirtree at once, in a flat way (inside .blend files and/or real directories).
* Consequently, adds datablocks types filtering.
* Uses way less RAM when listing big directories, especially in thumbnail mode (we are talking of several hundred of MiB spared).
* Generates thumbnails way faster.
From code perspective, it:
* Is ready for asset engine needs (on data structure level in filebrowser's listing).
* Simplifies and makes 'generic' file listing much lighter.
* Separates file listing in three different aspects:
** 'generic' filelisting (in BLI), which becomes a shallow wrapper around stat struct.
** 'filebrowser drawing' filelisting, which only contains current visible subset of the whole list (sliding window), with extra drawing data (strings for size, date/time, preview, etc.).
** 'asset-ready' filelisting, which is used for operations common to 'basic' filehandling and future asset-related one.
* Uses uuid's to handle file selection/state in the browser, instead of using flags in filelisting items.
* Uses much lighter BLI_task handling for previews, instead of heavy 'job' system (using the new 'notifier' timer to handle UI refresh, in similar way to jobs).
* Moves .blend datablocks preview handling to IMB_thumbnail (necessary to avoid storing all datablock previews at once, and gives better consistency and performances too).

Thanks to Campbell & Sergey for the reviews. :)
- Add blentranslation `BLT_*` module.
- moved & split `BLF_translation.h` into (`BLT_translation.h`, `BLT_lang.h`).
- moved `BLF_*_unifont` functions from `blf_translation.c` to new source file `blf_font_i18n.c`.
The issue was caused by the following construction:
def = env['SOMETHING']
defs.append('SOMETHING_MORE')
Since first assignment was actually referencing environment option it was totally
polluted hawing weird and wonderful side effects on all other areas of Blender.
In fact, filebrowser was not making any checks for invalid file/dir names here!
Added checks in the three places that should be protected:
* Renaming.
* Creating dirs.
* Typing in filename field.
BLI_add_slash appended to a char *, a potential buffer overflow
Also partially removed an assert, which failed after changing file format of a saved image. We need a better way to handle such cases.
Actually this was an intentional change in rBaeeb23efa28dc to prevent Blender from trying to open the old file from the new directory. Issue is that this is really bad for saving and basically breaks "Save As".
Some more tweaks were needed to make it work like before, so now it keeps the name of the last selected file, but clears it when selecting a folder.
Selecting '..' entry was intentionally disabled in rB76b4fad6dbda1b10c, however, for file navigation this can be really useful. So this basically allows selecting '..' entry again, *if it is the only entry to select*. It won't be selected using box select, select all or when expanding selection.
From a user-POV this makes following changes:
* Adds support for using the Enter-key to open directories
* Updates the upper text-buttons for file and directory on selection
* Last selected file/directory is opened now (in sync with upper text-buttons)
* Changes text in open button to "Open Directory" if a directory is selected

For areas that require append, store the last node,
Previous behavior would too easily hide poorly performing code.
Also avoid (prepend, reverse) where possible.
* Unset active file on opening/resetting file list
* Accidentally placed NULL check in the middle of the function - not a
big deal as it's highly unlikely that it fails (removed it but added
assert)
