Does the following changes visible to users:
* Use panels and sub-panels for more structured & logical grouping
* Re-organized options more logically than before (see images in D4148)
* Use flow layout (single column by default).
* New layout uses horizontal margin if there's enough space.
* Change size of Preferences window to suit new layout.
* Move keymap related options from "Input" into own section.
* Own, left-bottom aligned region for Save Preferences button.
* Adjustments of names, tooltips & icons.
* Move buttons from header into the main region (except editor switch).
* Hide Preferences header when opened in temporary window.
* Use full area width for header.
* Don't use slider but regular number widget for UI scale.
* Gray out animation player path option if player isn't "Custom"
Internal changes:
* Rearrange RNA properties to match changed UI structure.
* Introduces new "EXECUTE" region type, see reasoning in D3982.
* Changes to panel layout and AZone code for dynamic panel region.
* Bumps subversion and does versioning for new regions.
RNA changes are documented in the release notes:

Design & implementation mostly done by @billreynish and myself.

Steps to reproduce were:
* Open Preferences
* Choose "Input" category
* Scroll to the bottom
* Choose "Interface" category
The newly activated category should now use the scrolling set previously
in the other category, causing the contents to be out of view. You
would have to scroll to bring it back.
Now scrolling is stored per category.
Implements the first changes for T54115:
* Rename "User Preferences" window to "Settings" in the UI.
We'll likely put workspace settings in there, separate from the global
user settings. System settings should become separate from user
settings in future to allow settings for specific hardware.
* Add sidebar region for navigation (scrolls independently).
Addresses space problems, so we can add more categories as needed now.
* Increase size of Settings window to compensate new navigation bar.
* Group sections into User Preferences and System.
Icons for section groups by Andrzej Ambroz. Thanks!
* Bumps subversion for file compatibility.

I also added categories for future work, but commented them out.
We may also want to redesign contents of each section now.

- User preferences header at the bottom.
- Action header at the top.
Now all editors accessible from the menu have their header at the top,
default layout for the timeline remains at the bottom.
- Default Lamp increased strength (10x stronger)
- 3D View & Camera Lens = 50mm
- Camera film size = 36x24mm Full Frame
- Render Size Percentage = 100%
- Render Display = New Window
- Scene Units = Metric
- Color Management View = Filmic
- Workbench Object Overlap = ON
- Headers on top for all editors, except the Timeline at the bottom
- Default Properties tab = Object Properties
- Generate UV's = ON
See T47064
Requiring context means we can't easily create new editors to replace deprecated
ones in versioning code.
Think it's reasonable to give editors access to scene and area data for their
initial setup though. They mostly need it for setting "the view", as in,
scrolling values.
Also did minor cleanup in top-bar creation function.
While SCons building system was serving us really good for ages it's no longer
having much attention by the developers and started to become quite a difficult
task to maintain.
What's even worse -- there started to be quite serious divergence between SCons
and CMake which was only accumulating over the releases now. The fact that none
of the active developers are really using SCons and that our main studio is also
using CMake spotting bugs in the SCons builds became quite a difficult task and
we aren't always spotting them in time.
Meanwhile CMake became really mature building system which is available on every
platform we support and arguably it's also easier and more robust to use.
This commit includes:
- Removal of actual SCons building system
- Removal of SCons git submodule
- Removal of documentation which is stored in the sources and covers SCons
- Tweaks to the buildbot master to stop using SCons submodule
(this change requires deploying to the server)
- Tweaks to the install dependencies script to skip installing or mentioning
SCons building system
- Tweaks to various helper scripts to avoid mention of SCons folders/files
as well

Apparently this is the result of some sloppiness during 2.5 project and since then it confused people who were trying to understand the area-region relation (myself included).
Sorry if this causes merge conflicts for anyone, but at some point we really had to do it :/
node materials.
Area and region listener callbacks now get the screen and area pointers passed, so
they can do more fine grained checks to see if redraw is really needed, for example
depending on the 3D view drawtype.
in user preferences in place.
New scroller code made user pref scroller jump back on activating add-ons,
because that causes a full blender system refresh.
Now scrollbars correctly hide and show, making space for the actual contents
in a region. It solves several old hacks, and puts view2d code a bit more
back in control as well.
Implementation notes:
- The view2d mask feature is working again
- The #define V2D_SCROLL_HORIZONTAL_HIDE means: "turn on hiding".
- Code for UI_view2d_region_reinit() is enforcing better standard view settings
But... two hack/patches needed to be added:
- Region panel drawing: if after generating the button panels it appears
a scroller hides or reveils, it calls all the generating code again.
(a simple scale doesn't work due to rounding differences in layout code)
- View2d code that maps 'tot' and 'cur' rects: if this code detects that
the mask changes, it calcs the map code again.
Also a bugfix (issue in 2.65)
- The left/bottom area split widget was drawing 1 pixel too large sometimes,
leaving bad trails on moving area dividers.
blender_add_lib now takes a separate include argument to suppress warnings in system includes (mostly ffmpeg & python).
also only build wm_apple.c on apple+carbon configuration.
globbing vs explicit is discussed here.

Practical implications are:
- developers need to keep CMakeLists.txt files up to date.
- Users wont get strange linking errors if they build after a file is added, since CMake detects CMakeLists.txt is modified and automatically reconfigure.
