Combined view of timeline and preview causes seemingly unpredictable
behavior after some operators have been allowed to run in preview
region.
Disable new features in this combined view, so behavior should be
consistent with previous versions.

This patch changes the thumbnails' height used for image and movie
strips by choosing the proper size according to the VSE's text overlay
settings: i.e. thumbnails use the whole strip's height when no overlay
text is displayed; otherwise, some space is left for the overlay.

The VSE grid theme setting is currently used for two things:
* Indicate time intervals (vertical lines)
* As separator between channels (horizontal lines)
This adds visual noise because for the time interval to be visible, the
grid color needs to be bright, resulting in a rectangle-grid backdrop.
Recently, the VSE got a theme setting to customize alternate-row background color.
This should be sufficient to tell the channels apart without the need for a line in between.
Additionally, this patch makes the VSE background use the theme setting as-is,
without hard-coded darkening, to ease the tweaking of themes. This aligns the style
of the VSE backdrop with the rest of Blender (Outliner rows, File Browser, Spreadsheet,
Info and animation editors).

- Rename RNA SpaceSeq.show_strip_overlay to show_overlays
matching the 3D View, the term "strip" was misleading as this is used
for the preview as well.
- Rename various RNA overlay settings to overlay_frame
since "Frame Offset" is a specific feature, avoid having both
Editor.show_overlay and SpaceSeq.show_overlays.
- Rename Editing `over_*` -> `overlay_frame_*` in DNA,
as well as flags.
Make the "xform" tool/gizmo available for strip transformations in the
sequencer preview window.
Because of the amount of hacks needed to make the gizmo work nicely with
multiple strips at the same time, it was decided to only show the
translate gizmo when multiple strips are selected.
This is because the transforms with multiple strips would appear buggy
because of our lack of shearing support in the transform system.
There is also currently no way to properly sync the gizmo drawing with
the transform when using multiple strips.

This patch adds color tags to VSE strips, an overlay option to toggle the colors
on and off, a section in the theme settings to define the 9 possible colors and
two ways of changing the color tag through the UI. You can change the color
through the right-click context menu, or in the strip side panel next to the
strip name.
Color tags are defined in user preferences and they can be disabled in overlay
settings.

Currently the Drivers Editor shows this (the blue thing can be dragged
to change frame):
{F10647661}
But the Drivers Editors X axis is the output of the driver [which can be
further tweaked by the curve] not time(frame).
So it seems better to not mix them here, it is just confusing to have
two different units on one axis.
Especially since what we really want to look at in X (the drivers output
value) can be in a totally unrelated range compared to frames, so e.g.
we might be interested in a drivers range from 0.0 to 1.0 and a
framerange of 100 to 200, so putting this on one axis just does not make
sense. Better to use a separate timeline for this.
Note 2.79 also did not do this.

Draw thumbnails as strip overlay. This works for movie and image strips.
To draw thumbnails, this overlay has to be enabled and strips must be
tall enough.
The thumbnails are loaded from source file using separate thread and
stored in cache.
Drawing code uses only images stored in cache, and if any is missing,
background rendering job is started. If job can not render thumbnail,
to prevent endless loop of creating job for missing image it sets
`SEQ_FLAG_SKIP_THUMBNAILS` bit of `Sequence` flag.
To prevent visual glitches during timeline panning and zooming, `View2D`
flag `V2D_IS_NAVIGATING` is implemented. If bit is set, drawing code
will look for set of evenly distributed thumbnails that should be
guaranteed to exist and also set of previously displayed thumbnails.
Due to volatile nature of cache these thumbnails can be missing anyway,
in which case no new thumbnails will be drawn for particular strip.
Cache capacity is limited to 5000 thumbnails and performs cleanup of
non visible images when limit is reached.

Refactor and improve waveform drawing.
Drawing now can use line strips to draw waveforms instead of only
triangle strips. This makes us able to properly visualize thin waveforms
as they would not be visible before. We now also draw the RMS value of
the waveform.
The waveform drawing is now also properly aligned to the screen pixels
to avoid flickering when transforming the strip.

The duration and start time for audio strips were not correctly read in
audaspace.
Some video files have a "lead in" section of audio that plays before the
video starts playing back. Before this patch, we would play this lead in
audio at the same time as the video started and thus the audio would not
be in sync anymore.
Now the lead in audio is cut off and the duration should be correctly
calculated with this in mind.
If the audio starts after the video, the audio strip is shifted to
account for this, but it will also lead to cut off audio which might not
be wanted. However we don't have a simple way to solve this at this
point.

Handle width calculation was incorrect in drawing code. This caused
handles to be invisible when zoomed out.
After fixing math, handles become too large, so now they are constrained
to quarter of strip width, which feels more natural and represents
clickable area more closely.
`sequence_handle_size_get_clamped()` did not return size in pixels, but
in 2D-View space, this comment was corrected.
Reduce complexity of sequencer transform code by removing recursivity.
This is possible by treating meta strips (mostly) as any other strip and
containing all transform code within SEQ_ functions.
Unfortunately internally meta strips still require special treatment,
but all complexity from code all over transform code seems to be
possible to contain within one function.
Functional change:
Previously adjusting handle of single image strip moved animation.
Now animation is not moved, which is behavior for all other strips.

When using large sequences including audio the drawing of the audio on
top of the strip takes a lot of time. This effects the playback
performance heavily.
During the animation playback performance there was a solution for this
by only drawing the playhead overlay. This was reverted for the sequence
editor as it didn't update the color strips when they were animated.
This patch checks if there are animated color strips if so the full
screen is redrawn, otherwise only the playhead is redrawn.

In e1f3996d74, logic for changing metastrip start and end frame based
on contained strips was removed. This was done intentionally and
incorrect functionality wasn't noticed as drawing code reflected
seemingly correct state.
Original code was mostly correct, because meta strip doesn't store its
internal start and end points. This code was restored with minor
modifications so function `SEQ_time_update_sequence()` is fully self
contained as it is used not only by transform operator.
In addition, drawing glitches that happen when meta content is outside
of meta boundaries were fixed. These glitches were not caused by
e1f3996d74.
