Current temporary data of Blender suffers one major issue - default 'temp' dir on Windows is never
automatically cleaned up, and can end being quite big when used by Blender, especially when we have
to store per-process data (using getpid() in file names).
To address this, this patch:
* Divides tempdir paths in two, one for 'base' temp dir (the same as previous unique tempdir path),
the other is a mkdtemp-generated sub-dir, specific to each Blender instance.
* Only uses base tempdir when we need some shallow persistance accross Blender sessions - and we always
reuse the same filename (quit.blend...) or generate small file (crash reports...).
* Uses temp sub-dir for heavy files like pointcache or renderEXRs (Save Buffer option).
* Erases temp sub-dir on quit or crash.
To get this working it also adds a working 'recursive delete' to BLI_delete() under Windows.
Note that, as in current code, the 'recover render result' hack-feature that was possible
with SaveBuffer option is still removed. A real renderresult cache feature will be added
soon, though.

Originally by Dan Eicher, with my own fixes and adjustments (see patch page for details).
For details there are unit tests and api example usage.

This way blender player can easily use BPY_thread_save/restore.
Not so much important for master branch, but crucial to solve
linking issues in threaded depsgraph branch.
- Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS and Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS macros cannot be used here, because the Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS causes a crash when quitting Blender.
- The low level function PyEval_ReleaseLock() is used assuming the Python library was built with multi-threads support.
Summary:
Version of those libraries might be useful to know.
- OIIO and OCIO is exposed via bpy.app.oiio and bpy.app.ocio.
There're "supported", "version" and "version_string" defined
in those modules.
- OSL is available as _cycles.osl_version and _cycles.osl_version_string.
