More MessageBus-related silliness to resolve issue with toggling visibility/mute/locking
status of F-Curves/Groups/etc., as well as other things like modifying active keyframe's
values, or changing properties of F-Modifiers.
I've now ended up just whitelisting in the region subscribers all the animation-related
structs in RNA. But still, that may not be enough to deal with potential issues later
with the property sliders (shown per channel, optionally), which can come from anywhere.

This patch adds support for IES files, a file format that is commonly used to store the directional intensity distribution of light sources.
The new IES node is supposed to be plugged into the Strength input of the Emission node of the lamp.
Since people generating IES files do not really seem to care about the standard, the parser is flexible enough to accept all test files I have tried.
Some common weirdnesses are distributing values over multiple lines that should go into one line, using commas instead of spaces as delimiters and adding various useless stuff at the end of the file.
The user interface of the node is similar to the script node, the user can either select an internal Text or load a file.
Internally, IES files are handled similar to Image textures: They are stored in slots by the LightManager and each unique IES is assigned to one slot.
The local coordinate system of the lamp is used, so that the direction of the light can be changed. For UI reasons, it's usually best to add an area light,
rotate it and then change its type, since especially the point light does not immediately show its local coordinate system in the viewport.

If the object is manifold and the camera is in the shadow side, we can
use the depth fail method to fix the inverted shadow glitch.
Unfortunately this does not really work for non-manifold.
Implementation details:
We try to be as efficient as we can, we precompute camera near plane
projected into 2D shadow space so we can test for intersection with the
shadow boundbox easily.
As the intersection test is done in 2D it's pretty fast.
Unfortunately, this means the shadow bounds are all aligned to the same
space and are not the smallest bound we could extract.
This new API aim to provide simple function that can be called by the draw
engines during any phase of the draw pipeline. All calls are saved and
issued after all engines have finished rendering.
This removes the need of setuping special passes and shading groups for some
simple debug drawing.
ninja is an alternative to msbuild designed for fast rebuilds. However there is no IDE support, builds only from the command line.

make.bat was starting to become hard to maintain, this refactors it into separate batch files for each stage of the process.
-Improved detection of msvc2013/2015
-Improved failure handling.
-Added check for working msbuild and C++ compiler
-Added verbose switch to ease trouble shooting.
-Added Check if svn/cmake/git are in the path before using them
-Display the build configuration before asking to download the libraries
-Offer an option to recover an interrupted checkout of the libraries.
-Automatically check out sub-modules in-case they are missing.
The problem was that the particle system modifier was reading ob->derivedDeform
during modifier stack evaluation. Due to the mesh -> DM conversion this was no
longer set leading to wrong results.
In fact we don't really need the deformed mesh, just the original mesh topology
for face/poly index remapping. So the solution is to use that instead.
This commit adds number formatting (thousands separator) to the baking panel. It also adds a new function to format memory sizes (KB/GB/etc) and applies it to the baking panel and scene stats. The new function is unit tested.
