Context API
This adds the context API as described here. The main practical change
now is that C is not longer directly accessible but has to be accessed
through accessor functions. This basically adds the implementation of
the API and adaption of existing code with some minor changes. The next
task of course is to actually use this design to cleanup of bad level
calls and global access, in blenkernel, blenloader.

Error, Warning and Debug Info Reporting
This adds the error reporting API as described here. It should help
clean up error() calls in non-ui code, but eventually can become used
for gathering messages for a console window, and throwing exceptions
in python scripts when an error happens executing something.

- Made a nice generic 'OK confirm' implementation for operators.
Just use in operator type definition this line:
ot->invoke= WM_operator_confirm;
It will autmatically use operator name for asking OK. It will
also use properties (if set before).
Note for Brecht: the test okee_operator() you coded could better not
be used in operators themselves.
In future we can also add menus that get automatically generated
based on operator properties. Like 'add constraint' showing the
constraint types.
- Added this confirm call for most of the keys you'd expect it for.
(user settings, delete marker, rip area, split region, etc).
- Cleanup: moved ed_markers.c to the util/ directory, it doesnt belong
in space_time. Also made separate function for the marker keymap
definition.
- removed ancient redraw notifier from ghost event level (every key
press gave full screen draw)
- Added file space (too) :) Andrea was first, this is more
complete.
- Suggestion from Joshua: move all standard header buttons to
1 function, makes it all easier, less code, and less area/space
stuff needs to be exposed.
TimeLine window pulldowns work sorta (for the options that were coded :)
Still trying to bring back code without recoding uiDefButs. In future these
will get directly operator stuff linked. For time being made a simple
operator call function, like:
WM_operator_call(C, "ED_MARKER_OT_add");
and for forcing operator to run in the main region-window:
WM_operator_call_rwin(C, "ED_MARKER_OT_add");
These calls also work for modal operators, like marker grab in this case.
- Brought back (most of) buttons in TimeLine window.
They don't work yet though! Waiting for Brecht to commit callbacks
for menus and ui-blocks
- Area headers hilite again when mouse is inside.
- RMB select, also with SHIFT
- RMB tweak for translate
- SHIFT+D dupli
- BKEY border select/deselect
- AKEY (de)select all
- XKEY delete
- GKEY grab
Added some XXX comments for future todos, especially for when other
spaces come back with time markers.
Also added ED_util for putting in all to-be-cleaned cruft
Context conflict: input methods for Markers can conflict with other
spacetypes. It was solved in pre-2.5 with manually tweaking it all over,
but I would prefer one keymap for all marker stuff. Needs some thinking...
could be solved with a boundbox check for bottom part of 2d window.
Tweak issue: both tweak styles are possible:
- Hold mouse button, move, operator ends on mouse release
- Hold mouse button, move, operator ends on mouse click
Problem is that modally handled operators use fixed keymaps... like ESC,
SPACE, ENTER, or press/release mousebutton for 'assign'. There's a lot
to say for making this all consistant, or become part of 1 general keymap?
Should also be possibe to define 'tweak' defaults for Tablet different
than for mouse...
