All in all, this patch adds an Alembic importer, an Alembic exporter,
and a new CacheFile data block which, for now, wraps around an Alembic
archive. This data block is made available through a new modifier ("Mesh
Sequence Cache") as well as a new constraint ("Transform Cache") to
somewhat properly support respectively geometric and transformation data
streaming from alembic caches.
A more in-depth documentation is to be found on the wiki, as well as a
guide to compile alembic: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/

Many thanks to everyone involved in this little project, and huge shout
out to "cgstrive" for the thorough testings with Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini
and Realflow as well as @fjuhec, @jensverwiebe and @jasperge for the
custom builds and compile fixes.

* "Flip direction" -> "Flip Direction"
* "Show drawing direction" -> "Show Directions"
* "Grease Pencil Curves" -> "Brush Curves"
(I was considering "Brush Response Curves" instead, but that seemed like too much
of a mouthful)
* "X" for removing a palette. The UI there was more similar to a standard datablock
selector, so it should use the "+X" combo instead of "+-" combo for consistency.
(Note though, presets tend to use "+-" instead - e.g. see the Render Settings)
Previously, it would insert "invisible" points after the endpoints of the strokes,
so that they wouldn't appear to be joined, but that behaviour could also get quite
confusing as you wouldn't be sure whether the strokes were really joined or not.
To keep the previous behaviour, simply enable the "Leave Gaps" option on the operator
after running it. This setting will get saved between runs of the operator.
Drawing both text and the wave onto a sound strip makes both hard to read,
which is a concrete issue for Hjalti at the moment. This was the simplest
fix I could think of to give him control over what he sees.
Now all consistent and using term "properties region" instead of "properties panel". Ideally we had a more generic operator for all those.
Fixes T49006.
Enabled the Undo option for the operation "Add background Image". This is to treat adding a background image like opening an image. This behavior is useful when a background image is add using 'drag and drop'.

The redundant terms were harmless but check an expression we already
know to be true (from earlier in the same conditional).

Drivers can use this to refer to the data which the driver is applied to,
useful for objects, bones, to avoid having to create a variable pointing to its self.
There was some smart code in the transform which would alter between translation
and rotation based on whether bone is connected or not and whether translation is
locked or not.
It could be handy to also fallback to scale if both rotation and translation are
locked.
Happens because it was always using regionbase of active/visible area, not the correct one of the (possibly inactive) 3D view. Was pretty hidden because you had to be in local view to trigger it.
Could also remove ScrArea * argument from SpaceType.id_remap now, but leaving in there to avoid bigger changes (might also be useful for some case).
Steps to reproduce:
* Default startup.blend
* Enter local view with default cube (/-key)
* Render (or open a different editor where the 3D View is)
* Close Blender - should invoke crash
This patch fixes the annoyance that when creating a node group where one of its nodes is connected
to several other nodes, a separate output will be created for each link, even though they're all
connected to the same socket in the group.
Now, before adding an output for an outgoing link, the existing outputs are checked to find whether
any output is already connected to the same socket. If such an output is found, it is reused instead of
creating a new one.

Report popups simply reuse popup menu code, so their blocks got "UI_popup_menu_begin" assigned as name, which was a bit misleading. Now uses "UI_popup_menu_reports".
Ideally they'd have their own popup code.
For now use 'brute force' and refresh whole UI when new icons get rendered.
See comment of T48813 for ideas about how to handle that in future (2.8 project ?).
This is an alternative method for fitting a curve which incrementally simplifies the curve, then re-fits.
Generally gives better results, also improves corner detection.
Redundant conditional (line 939) found with PVS-Studio T48917
There’s still a lot of true/false, 1/0, SELECT/DESELECT usage nearby.
Not a problem, just confusing to read.
Checking a condition right after we’ve checked it (and it hasn’t
changed). Most of these are trivial to understand.
split_quads in convertblender.c:
It seems quads should be processed and triangles should be marked as
not needing split. So I removed the outer vlr->v4 check.
