This is internal pointer helper for scene evaluation and tools, though exposed to bpy API,
it can give false 'dependency cycles' in bpy.data.user_map() results.
That's followup to rBe007552442634 really, both should be backported to 2.78
This is internal pointer helper for scene evaluation and tools, it's not exposed to bpy API anyway,
and can give false 'dependency cycles' in bpy.data.user_map() results.
Found by sybren in his Splode work.
This commit:
* Fixes bad handling of 'stop iteration' (by adding a status flag, so that we can actually
stop in helper functions too, and jumping to a finalize label instead of raw return, to
allow propper clean up).
* Adds optional recursion into 'ID tree' - callback can also decide to exclude current id_pp
from recursion. Note that this implies 'readonly', modifying IDs while recursing is not
something we want to support!
* Changes callback signature/expected behavior: return behavior is now handled through flags,
and 'parent' ID of id_pp is also passed (since it may not always be root id anymore).

This mainly adds bpy.data.user_map() method, which goes over the whole Main database
to build a mapping (dict) {ID: {users_of_that_ID}}.
Very handy to check and debug ID usages, but could also be really valuable for py addons
creating temporary scenes, or some exporters, etc.
Note: current code in master's libquery misses some IDs (and reports some it should not,
like nodetrees), this is fixed in id-remap but still needs serious review before going to master.
This basically means that current bpy.data.user_map() **will not** report a complete and exhaustive
state of dependencies between IDs. Should work OK in most cases though.
Original work/idea comes from id-remap branch, was heavily reworked by @campbellbarton
and myself for master.
