since enough bmesh operations can also take advantage of direct index lookups on verts/edges/faces.
developers note:
- EDBM_index_arrays_init/ensure/free -> BM_mesh_elem_table_ensure/init/free
- EDBM_vert/edge/face_at_index -> BM_vert/edge/face_at_index
- EDBM_uv_element_map_create/free -> BM_uv_element_map_create/free
- ED_uv_element_get -> BM_uv_element_get
The operator names all show up in the Search button. As such is nicer if they
can all have the main words capitalized.
e.g. "Snap strips" should be "Snap Strips"
"Copy to clipboard" should be "Copy to Clipboard"
This was done with a mix of bash tools, regex, and manual work because I'm too rushed into regex :)

this may introduce bugs which I didn't catch, but they are very easy to identify in a debug build which has asserts to ensure the arrays are valid before use.
in my own test drawing ~98,304 quads - this gave an overall ~16% drawing speedup.
In fact there were several issues fixed (all of them regressions since bmesh merge):
- Creating navmesh crashed because creating new faces for mesh was trying to set
default values for all customdata layers in this face. This requires memory
pool created for this datablock.
Usually this pool is creating on creating datablock if there're some elements
to be stored in this block. In cases of regular primitive creating it wasn't
an issue because they doesn't create customdata layers, they only creates
geometry.
Navigation mesh creates geometry and customdata layers (CD_RECAST layer)
which used to confuse a bit custom data functions. Solved by ensuring there's
memory pool created for polygons datablock after adding new custom data layer.
Most probably it's better to be resolved on CD level (like smarter track on
changed amount of stored data and so) but prefer not to make such global changes
so close to the release.
- Toggling edit mode lead to loosing recast datalayer. Solved by adding recast
layer to bmesh mask so it'll be copied to/from edit mesh.
- Some part of code assumed raycast layer is in face datablock, some that it's in
polygon datablock. Made it to be in polygons datablock.
Kind of temporary solution to make navmesh working, probably it'll fail if one
will want to edit navmesh by hand after it was generated.
Proper way would be to ensure the whole navmesh things are using ngons.
These changes are to make the bmesh api more consistent and easier to learn, grouping similar functions which is convenient for autocomplete.
This uses similar convention to RNA.
* use face/loop/edge/vert as a prefix for functions.
* use 'elem' as a prefix too for functions that can take any type with a BMHeader.
* changed from camel case to underscore separated (like RNA).
