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

This was using TreeElement before it was fully defined, which gives undefined
behavior that happened to work with other libraries but not libc++.
Based on patch by Marcus von Appen, modifications for brevity and to ensure we
don't dereference invalid memory. Ref T37477.
- Upgrade Eigen2 library to Eigen3
- Upgrade colamd library and placed in extern/ so other libraries from extern/ can use it
NOTE: With previous version of Eigen (3.0.1) it was necessary to define
EIGEN_DONT_ALIGN_STATICALLY macro to make it compilable on windows 32bit.
After latest upgrade it seems to be unnecessary (at least when was testing libmv),
so i removed that defines which can reduce speed and lead to other problems.
- comment/remove assignments from values to themselves.
- add case break statements (no functional change but some source code checkers notice).
- fix python errors when the sculpt brush is None.
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.
