The importer was guessing whether an Alembic IXform object was part of a
child object, or should be represented as an Empty in Blender. By reversing
the order in which objects are visited, the children can now claim their
parent as part of the same object (so IPolyMesh claims its parent IXform
as part of the same Blender object). This results in much less guesswork.
I've also removed similar guesswork from the code that sets parent pointers,
by simply searching for the parent in a hierarchical way, instead of trying
to predict (again) which IXforms were turned into empties.
Also, visit_object() now actually visits the object -- previously it only
visited its children, and assumed the object it was called on was already
handled by a previous call.
create_transform_matrix(float[4][4]) did mostly the same as
create_transform_matrix(Object *, float[4][4]), but more elegant.
However, the former has some inconsistencies with the latter (which
are now merged and made explicit, turned out one was for z-up→y-up
while the other was for y-up→z-up), and was renamed to
copy_m44_axis_swap(...) to convey its purpose more clearly.
Furthermore, "loc" has been renamed to "trans", as matrices don't
store locations but translations; and more variables now have a src_
or dst_ prefix to denote whether they contain a matrix/vector in the
source or destination axis orientation.
AbcExporter::createTransformWriter() tries to predict the parent Xform
name, but if it cannot be found has multiple ways of creating it, possibly
under a different name than originally searched for.
The idea is to have a system where we properly log error messages and
let the users know that errors occured redirecting them to the console
for explanations. This is only implemented for the exporter since the
importer already has similar functionalities; however they shall
ultimately be unified in some way.

This function was modifying texture datablock, which makes the call
unsafe for call from multiple threads. Now we pass the argument that
we don't need nodes to the underlying functions.
There will be still race condition in noise texture, but that should
at least be free from crashes. Doesn't mean we shouldn't fix it tho.
In this case the Pyobject gets lost from pybm, and bm.free() does not invalidate the PyElem.
This will cause the destructor of python to read invalid memory and crash.
The solution is to make a copy of the pyobjects pointers before overwriting.
This area is a subject of reconsideration, so for now used simplest
way possible -- ensure depsgraph's nodes have proper layer flags
when going in and out of local mode.
That one was:
* Resetting non-ID pointers (lib_link_xxx funcs should only affect ID
pointers, everything else shall be done in direct_link_xxx func).
* Even worse, always calling lib_link_animdata, even when
LIB_TAG_NEED_LINK tag was unset...
We do not need any special handling anymore for usercount of images used
by faces/polygons (tpage stuff), since we have the 'real_user' handling,
which will gracefully cope with all possible situations.
So better not keep that ugly confusing useless special case.
