While getting rid of Scene->base we got the following fixes:
* Fix "Convert To" operator
* Fix "NLA allowing to selected objects that are not selectable
* Fix scene.objects (readonly, no option to link/unlink)
Note: Collada needs to use the context SceneLayer for adding objects
however I added a placeholder, so Collada maintainers can fix this
properly.
This makes code closer to id_override/assent-engine ones, which
introduce a new type of linked data, and hence reserve
ID_IS_LINKED_DATABLOCK to real linked datablocks.
This was never correctly implemented. It now works as expected (ala 2.79 behaviour).
The proxy object is added to all the collections of the original empty.
Before not only this wasn't the case, but it would crash Blender.
Cyclic extrapolation is implemented as an f-curve modifier, so this
technically violates abstraction separation and is something of a hack.
However without such behavior achieving smooth looping with cyclic
extrapolation is extremely cumbersome.
The new behavior is applied when the first modifier is Cyclic
extrapolation in Repeat or Repeat with Offset mode without
using influence, repeat count or range restrictions.
This change in behavior means that curve handles have to be updated
when the modifier is added, removed or its options change. Due to the
way code is structured, it seems it requires a helper link to the
containing curve from the modifier object.

We do have an history of those pieces of evil in our code, would be nice
to get fully rid of it, but at the very least let's not add more of them
in new code. :)
This will allow much finer controll over how we copy data-blocks, from
full copy in Main database, to "lighter" ones (out of Main, inside an
already allocated datablock, etc.).
This commit also transfers a llot of what was previously handled by
per-ID-type custom code to generic ID handling code in BKE_library.
Hopefully will avoid in future inconsistencies and missing bits we had
all over the codebase in the past.
It also adds missing copying handling for a few types, most notably
Scene (which where using a fully customized handling previously).
Note that the type of allocation used during copying (regular in Main,
allocated but outside of Main, or not allocated by ID handling code at
all) is stored in ID's, which allows to handle them correctly when
freeing. This needs to be taken care of with caution when doing 'weird'
unusual things with ID copying and/or allocation!
As a final note, while rather noisy, this commit will hopefully not
break too much existing branches, old 'API' has been kept for the main
part, as a wrapper around new code. Cleaning it up will happen later.

Note that some little parts of code have been dissabled because eval_ctx
was not available there. This should be resolved once DerivedMesh is
replaced.
Reported by Andy Goralczyk (@eyecandy) over IRC, thanks!
Simply nuke all that poor broken custom one-by-one handling in
object_relations.c code, and use highly complex but powerful and
well-tested BKE_library_make_local() in all cases of MakeLocal!
ID management, especially related to linking, is very hairy matters,
better to have as few as possible core functions managing all the dirty
details. ;)
Properly remap nodes' pointers to copied IDs in copied ntrees.
Note that this only affects root trees, node groups are not concerned
here, since they are assumed to be reusable chunks and hence *not*
duplicated.
This replaces all direct usage of:
- FIRSTBASE
- LASTBASE
- BASACT
- OBACT
Some usages still remain in legacy utility functions which are called
all over the place.
The absence of datablock properties "will certainly be resolved soon as the need for them is becoming obvious" said the [[http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.67/Python_Nodes|Python Nodes release notes]]. So this patch allows Python scripts to create ID Properties which reference datablocks.
This functionality is implemented for `PointerProperty` and now such properties can be created with Python.
In addition to the standard update callback, `PointerProperty` can have a `poll` callback (standard RNA) which is useful for search menus. For details see the test included in this patch.

User Commit Log
---------------
* New Layer and Collection system to replace render layers and viewport layers.
* A layer is a set of collections of objects (and their drawing options) required for specific tasks.
* A collection is a set of objects, equivalent of the old layers in Blender. A collection can be shared across multiple layers.
* All Scenes have a master collection that all other collections are children of.
* New collection "context" tab (in Properties Editor)
* New temporary viewport "collections" panel to control per-collection
visibility
Missing User Features
---------------------
* Collection "Filter"
Option to add objects based on their names
* Collection Manager operators
The existing buttons are placeholders
* Collection Manager drawing
The editor main region is empty
* Collection Override
* Per-Collection engine settings
This will come as a separate commit, as part of the clay-engine branch
Dev Commit Log
--------------
* New DNA file (DNA_layer_types.h) with the new structs
We are replacing Base by a new extended Base while keeping it backward
compatible with some legacy settings (i.e., lay, flag_legacy).
Renamed all Base to BaseLegacy to make it clear the areas of code that
still need to be converted
Note: manual changes were required on - deg_builder_nodes.h, rna_object.c, KX_Light.cpp
* Unittesting for main syncronization requirements
- read, write, add/copy/remove objects, copy scene, collection
link/unlinking, context)
* New Editor: Collection Manager
Based on patch by Julian Eisel
This is extracted from the layer-manager branch. With the following changes:
- Renamed references of layer manager to collections manager
- I doesn't include the editors/space_collections/ draw and util files
- The drawing code itself will be implemented separately by Julian
* Base / Object:
A little note about them. Original Blender code would try to keep them
in sync through the code, juggling flags back and forth. This will now
be handled by Depsgraph, keeping Object and Bases more separated
throughout the non-rendering code.
Scene.base is being cleared in doversion, and the old viewport drawing
code was poorly converted to use the new bases while the new viewport
code doesn't get merged and replace the old one.

Use Main->relations in BKE_library_foreach_ID_link(), when possible
(i.e. IDWALK_READONLY is set), and if the data is available of course.
This is quite minor optimization, no sensible improvements are expected,
but does not hurt either to avoid potentially tens of looping over e.g.
objects constraints and modifiers, or heap of drivers...
Was a waaaaayyyyy to much generic name for such a specific func, renamed
to much more descriptive BKE_libblock_relink_to_newid().
In near future (few weeks, to limit as much as possible silent mismatch
in branches), will rename BKE_libblock_relink_ex to BKE_libblock_relink,
this is the real generic data-block relinking func!
This aims at always ensuring that ID.newid (and relevant LIB_TAG_NEW)
stay in clean (i.e. cleared) state by default.
To achieve this, instead of clearing after all id copy call (would be
horribly noisy, and bad for performances), we try to completely remove
the setting of id->newid by default when copying a new ID.
This implies that areas actually needing that info (mainly, object editing
area (make single user...) and make local area) have to ensure they set
it themselves as needed.
This is far from simple change, many complex code paths to consider, so
will need some serious testing. :/
We have to clear `newid` of all datablocks, not only object ones.
Note that this whole stuff is still using some kind of older, primitive
'ID remapping', would like to see whether we can replace it with new,
more generic one, but that's for another day.
Issue here was that py API code was keeping references (pointers) to the
liniked data-blocks, which can actually be duplicated and then deleted
during the 'make local' process...
Would have like to find a better way than passing optional GHash to get
the oldid->newid mapping, but could not think of a better idea.
Material linking might and does change the way how drawObject is calculated
but does not tag drawObject for recalculation in any way.
Now use dependency graph to tag draw object for reclaculation. Currently do
this using OB_RECALC_DATA taq since tagging is not very granular yet. In the
future we can introduce ore granular tagging in the new dependency graph
easily.
Simple and safe for 2.78a.
Another great example of inconsistency in usercount handling - dupli_group was considered
as refcounted by readfile.c code (and hence by library_query.c one, which is based on it),
but not by editor/BKE_object code, which never increased group's usercount when creating
an instance of it etc.
To be backported to 2.78.
This is mainly required for the new dependency graph where non-object
datablocks are a part of dependency graph.
This solves issue when making mesh shared by multiple objects a single
user one.
Wasn't copying back local view bytes to object after changing layer.
Steps to reproduce were:
* Split 3D view in default startup.blend
* Enter local view in one of the 3D views
* Move default cube to different layer *in the other 3D view* (the one that's not in local view)
* Try transforming object from 3D View that's in local view (should lag)
