Mpving utils from idcode to idtype proved to be somewhat painful for
some reasons, but now all looks good.
Had to add a fake/empty shell for the special snowflake too,
`ID_LINK_PLACEHOLDER/INDEX_ID_NULL`...
- Use 'int' for counters instead of short.
- Use 'bool' instead of a counter when only a change is being detected.
- Use typed enum for keying set flags.
- Include in comments when a negate error code may be returned.
- Split 'verify_fcurve' into two functions:
ED_action_fcurve_ensure which adds the f-curve if needed.
ED_action_fcurve_find which returns NULL when not found.
Callers of ED_action_fcurve_find had unused 'group'
argument which has been removed.
- Rename verify_adt_action to ED_id_action_ensure
It had an argument to add data which was always true,
remove this instead of splitting in into a separate function.
The old layout of `PointerRNA` was confusing for historic reasons:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct {
void *data;
} id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
This patch updates it to:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct ID *owner_id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
Throughout the code base `id.data` was replaced with `owner_id`.
Furthermore, many explicit pointer type casts were added which
were implicit before. Some type casts to `ID *` were removed.

Use explicit boolean flag to indicate whether flush to original data
is needed or not. Makes it possible to avoid confusion on whether an
evaluated or any depsgraph can be passed to the API.
Allows to remove depsgraph from bAnimContext as well.

It was used to access evaluated object and pose and was done prior
to implementation of flushing values back to original data for an
active dependency graph.
Removing the argument allows to simplify API and solve issues with
accessing missing dependency graph on redo.
Expose REPLACE and CYCLE_AWARE, and add AVAILABLE for completeness.
These flags are generic and safe to use, and necessary to match
the behavior of certain UI options.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.

This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
NLA strips support using the keyframe values in a variety of ways:
adding, subtracting, multiplying, linearly mixing with the result
of strips located below in the stack. This is intended for layering
tweaks on top of a base animation.
However, when inserting keyframes into such strips, it simply inserts
the final value of the property, irrespective of these settings. This
in fact makes the feature nearly useless.
To fix this it is necessary to evaluate the NLA stack below the
edited strip and correctly compute the raw key that would produce
the intended final value, according to the mode and influence.

Only tag relations update when new f-curve was allocated. This solves
possible too slow keyframe insertion when doing character animation,
but still does proper relation update when new ID component became
animated.
Notes:
* Really need to address RNA setters case, end up adding way too much
G.main here these days... :/
* Added Main pointer into bAnimContext, helps a lot in anim code ;)
When using copy on write, insert keyframe operators were reading from old
bmain data instead of COW data. This meant that inserting keyframes would
often read old/stale data, resulting in invalid keyframes getting created
(e.g. from last transform operation, instead of actual current state).
This commit makes it so that keyframing operators will ask depsgraph for
the evaluated copy of the data, so that it can read values from that. It
introduces a new function - `DEG_get_evaluated_rna_pointer()`, which when
working correctly/fully, should work just like the other `DEG_get_evaluated_*()`
functions, except it lets you pass in an RNA Pointer.
However, currently, this is only done for Pose Bones (as a dirty hack, since this
is an important/pivotal requirement for production) and/or datablock
properties directly (since we can just use the DEG_get_evaluated_id() directly).
on the datablock.
Committing to a branch for now as this all needs more testing. More work to come
later at a more sane time of day!
To make it easier for animators working in a multipass pose-to-pose workflow
when inserting breakdown keyframes and so forth, it is now possible to specify
the "type" of keyframe being created (i.e. the colour of the keyframe, when drawn
in the Dope Sheet).
Usage:
1) Choose the type of keyframe ("Keyframe", "Breakdown", "Extreme", etc.) from
the new dropdown located between the AutoKeying and KeyingSet widgets on the
timeline header.
2) Insert keyframes
3) Rejoyce that your newly created keyframes have now been coloured for you already
in the DopeSheet.
Todo:
* Look into a way of using the actual keyframe colours (from the theme) for the icons
of these types.
This appends while giving ownership to the list, avoiding temp assignment.
This matches PyList_SET_ITEM which bypasses refcount's
Note, this also reduce code-size, Py_DECREF is a rather heavy macro.
* 'Show Debug' now enabled for all newly created drivers. For most users, it is
useful to be able to see this to help figure out what's going on
* Removed failed experiment of creating new drivers with Generator FModifiers. I
had hoped that this would make it easier to create drivers that doubled or
halved the input values, but that has proved to not be the case, and instead
made harder for most users to set things up (as they'd have to remove these
first).
Now, when adding drivers from the UI, these get created with two keyframes (at
(0,0) and (1,1) for a 1-1 mapping), which can be easily tweaked normally.
However, for backwards compatability of scripts (notably rigify, and perhaps
some others out there), when creating drivers from scripts, they will still get
created with Generator FModifiers for now. We can review this situation again
for 2.7, but for now it seems ok.
Most of the places which relied on RNA_path_resolve() did so believing that if
it returned true, that it had found a valid property, and that the returned
pointer+property combination would be what the path referred to. However, it
turns out that if the property at the end of the path turns out to be a
"pointer" property (e.g. "data" for Object.data), this would automatically
become the pointer part, while the prop part would be set to null. Hence, if a
user accidentally (or otherwise) specifies a path for the single-property driver
variable type like this, then Blender would crash.
This commit introduces two convenience functions - RNA_path_resolve_property()
and RNA_path_resolve_property_full() - which mirror/wrap the existing
RNA_path_resolve() functions. The only difference though is that these include a
check to ensure that what was found from resolving the path was in fact a
property (they only return true iff this is the case), and make it explicitly
clear in the name that this is what they will do so that there's no further
confusion. It is possible to do without these wrapper functions by doing these
checks inline, but the few cases that had been patched already were pretty
hideous looking specimens. Using these just make it clearer and simpler for all.
I've also beefed up the docs on these a bit, and changed these to using bools.
