This reverts commit 5aa19be912 and b4a721af69.
Due to postponement of particle system rewrite it was decided to put particle code
back into the 2.8 branch for the time being.
Was kinda split in two different places (one allowed to modify given path to always get a valid one,
the other only checking for validity of given path), not nice - and broken in asset branch case.
So rather extended a bit FileList->checkdirf to handle both cases (modifying and non-modifying path).
All in all, this patch adds an Alembic importer, an Alembic exporter,
and a new CacheFile data block which, for now, wraps around an Alembic
archive. This data block is made available through a new modifier ("Mesh
Sequence Cache") as well as a new constraint ("Transform Cache") to
somewhat properly support respectively geometric and transformation data
streaming from alembic caches.
A more in-depth documentation is to be found on the wiki, as well as a
guide to compile alembic: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/

Many thanks to everyone involved in this little project, and huge shout
out to "cgstrive" for the thorough testings with Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini
and Realflow as well as @fjuhec, @jensverwiebe and @jasperge for the
custom builds and compile fixes.

Problem was in fact slightly wider, File space was nearly not taking into account
library navigation case and its 'virtual' directoris, except in a few places.
Add a wrapper around BLI_is_dir that also check for lib paths, and used it in
ED_file_change_dir(), such that we now always check path is a
valid directory - in the filebrowser context, not filesytem context. ;)
Fixed this with three changes:
* filter_glob is now 255 char max (63 could be a bit limited in some rare cases).
* IO templates now explicitely define max len of that property (such that scripters are aware of the limit).
* ED_fileselect_set_params() is now safe regarding too long strings from a 'filter_glob' op property.
It's needed especially for the menu entry "recover auto save" where you'd like to have the files sorted by date most of the time but it could be useful in other places too.
There should be no functional change in other areas, I just added the missing parameter (FILE_SORT_ALPHA).
Was a request from @sebastian_k at #BCon13, so at least one guy needs it ;)

It basically rewrites most of filelist.c, with some more limited changes in other areas of filebrowser.
From user perspective, it:
* Removes some info in 'long' drawing mode (owner, permissions) - OS-specific data that do not really matter in Blender!
* Makes short/long display 'fixed' size (among four choices, like thumbnails mode).
* Allows to list several layers of dirtree at once, in a flat way (inside .blend files and/or real directories).
* Consequently, adds datablocks types filtering.
* Uses way less RAM when listing big directories, especially in thumbnail mode (we are talking of several hundred of MiB spared).
* Generates thumbnails way faster.
From code perspective, it:
* Is ready for asset engine needs (on data structure level in filebrowser's listing).
* Simplifies and makes 'generic' file listing much lighter.
* Separates file listing in three different aspects:
** 'generic' filelisting (in BLI), which becomes a shallow wrapper around stat struct.
** 'filebrowser drawing' filelisting, which only contains current visible subset of the whole list (sliding window), with extra drawing data (strings for size, date/time, preview, etc.).
** 'asset-ready' filelisting, which is used for operations common to 'basic' filehandling and future asset-related one.
* Uses uuid's to handle file selection/state in the browser, instead of using flags in filelisting items.
* Uses much lighter BLI_task handling for previews, instead of heavy 'job' system (using the new 'notifier' timer to handle UI refresh, in similar way to jobs).
* Moves .blend datablocks preview handling to IMB_thumbnail (necessary to avoid storing all datablock previews at once, and gives better consistency and performances too).

Thanks to Campbell & Sergey for the reviews. :)
Actually this was an intentional change in rBaeeb23efa28dc to prevent Blender from trying to open the old file from the new directory. Issue is that this is really bad for saving and basically breaks "Save As".
Some more tweaks were needed to make it work like before, so now it keeps the name of the last selected file, but clears it when selecting a folder.
From a user-POV this makes following changes:
* Adds support for using the Enter-key to open directories
* Updates the upper text-buttons for file and directory on selection
* Last selected file/directory is opened now (in sync with upper text-buttons)
* Changes text in open button to "Open Directory" if a directory is selected

* Unset active file on opening/resetting file list
* Accidentally placed NULL check in the middle of the function - not a
big deal as it's highly unlikely that it fails (removed it but added
assert)
Adds support for selecting/deselecting files in File Browser using the
arrow keys. All directions (up, down, left, right) are possible.
When to Select, When to Deselect?
Standard behaviour is selecting, however if we move into a block of
already selected files (meaning 2+ files are selected) we start
deselecting
Possible Selection Methods
Simple selection (arrow-key): All other files are deselected
Expand selection (Shift+arrow key): Add to/remove from existing
selection
ill-Expand selection (Ctrl+Shift+arrow key): Add to/remove from existing
selection and fill everything in-between
From which file do we start navigating?
From each available selection method (Mouse-, Walk-, All-, Border
Select), we use the last selected file. If there's no selection at all
we use the first (down/right arrow) or last (up/left arrow) file.
(Ideally, the view would automatically be set to the new selection, but
this behaviour overlaps with an other patch I've been working on, so
prefer to do that separately)
(Also tweaks color for highlighted file for better feedback)
D1297, Review done by @campbellbarton, thx a lot :)
We must take kerning into account everywhere! Note this will disappear in upcomming filebrowser
refactor anyway.
Reported through IRC by Pablo (venomgfx), thanks.
We can now scale from 32px up to 256px (default has been upgraded to 128px).
Thumbnails are now generated as 'large', i.e. 256px.
Previews are scaled up if necessary, unlike icons (for folders or files without preview images).
Note that .blend thumbnails themselves remain in 128px for now (they are embeded in .blend files,
not quite sure we want to make them four times bigger...).
Patch by DMS (Yaron Dames), with final edits by myself.

Only basic fix, the whole 'dir' field handling needs rework to correctly support
lib stuff (will be done as part of asset-experiment rewriting work)...
All this code is doing way too much filesystem inspection by itself, instead of
reusing flielist.c work - this is stupid, and will completely break with future
asset engines!
Bookmarks are now editable (i.e. you can rename them, and reorder them).
They are also listed in regular UILists, so you can filter/sort them as usual too.
Also, FileBrowser 'T' side area is changed to something similar to 3DView one,
in this case because we need op panel to remain at the bottom, and later because
we'll more than likely need tabs here!
Thanks to Campbell and Sergey for reviews.

Make the UI API more consistent and reduce confusion with some naming.
mainly:
- API function calls
- enum values
some internal static functions have been left for now
Issue was caused by _wstat returning EOVERFLOW error because
of file size didn't fit into stat structure which was using
long datatype.
The idea of this patch is to use _wstat64 and _stat64 structure
which is capable storing 64bit file sizes.
Made it a typedef for stat structure used by BLI_stat function
in order to make code easier to follow and avoid ifdefs all
over the place.
Additionally solved issue with BLI_exists which was wrongly
returning False in cases destination file is larger then 4GB.
