This patch adds a new matte node that implements the Cryptomatte specification.
It also incluces a custom eye dropper that works outside of a color picker.
Cryptomatte export for the Cycles render engine will be in a separate patch.

This makes code closer to id_override/assent-engine ones, which
introduce a new type of linked data, and hence reserve
ID_IS_LINKED_DATABLOCK to real linked datablocks.
This aims at always ensuring that ID.newid (and relevant LIB_TAG_NEW)
stay in clean (i.e. cleared) state by default.
To achieve this, instead of clearing after all id copy call (would be
horribly noisy, and bad for performances), we try to completely remove
the setting of id->newid by default when copying a new ID.
This implies that areas actually needing that info (mainly, object editing
area (make single user...) and make local area) have to ensure they set
it themselves as needed.
This is far from simple change, many complex code paths to consider, so
will need some serious testing. :/
This is mainly required for the new dependency graph where non-object
datablocks are a part of dependency graph.
This solves issue when making mesh shared by multiple objects a single
user one.
From source code history, it seems this behavior is a relic of a very
old limitation when the same object couldn't be both a Softbody and a
Collision object. In those times if somehow both modifiers were added
to an object, Softbody auto-disabled itself and buttons were hidden.
Now however there is no problem having both modifiers on an object,
so there is no point hiding the buttons. The same exact buttons are
available on the physics tab in any case.
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.

Totally stupid to not pass it, and then let (some) BKE_foo_make_local() use G.main!
Note: unused for now, much more refactoring still to come in make_local area!
Idea is to replace hard-to-track (id->lib != NULL) 'is linked datablock' check everywhere in Blender
by a macro doing the same thing. This will allow to easily spot those checks in future, and more importantly,
to easily change it (see work done in asset-engine branch).
Note: did not touch to readfile.c, since there most of the time 'id->lib' check actually concerns the pointer,
and not a check whether ID is linked or not. Will have a closer look at it later.

It's still not completely working - there are still some glitches - but far better than before.
To make buttons of the uiList work, you have to add a 'check' callback to the operator that invokes the menu. Only if it returns True, the uiList gets refreshed. To avoid this we have to make the region refresh tagging in the entire button handling a bit smarter.
Changes I had to do:
* Call uiList handling from menu/popup handling if needed.
* Make uiList handling use special popup refresh tag if placed in menu.
* Allow popups invoked from py operator to tag for refresh by using operator 'check' callback.
* Tag popup for refresh when resizing uiList.
Mostly fixes T48612.
