72ec6dbb0b Static overrides API: add functions to create overrides from several datablocks at once.
This simplifies remapping task, since you don't have to ensure your
overrides are created in the correct dependency order.

Uses famous LIB_TAG_DOIT to mark IDs to be overridden.

7ab8c90686 Serious cleanup/refactor/fixing of new RNA comparison code.
Code also handling auto-generation of static overrides.

Aside from some naming consistency cleanup, this commit:

* Is the first step addressing the 'operator' issue with static
overrides, by implementing a first version of the 'restore from
reference' behavior.

* Fixes several issues that were discovered on the way in enhanced
RNA comparision code, like the 'zero-length dynamic array' case, or some
infinite looping caused by some non-ID pointers (that for some
mysterious reasons did not show up previously...).

* Factorizes a bit said RNA comparison code (auto-static override
generation and comparison/check were essentially doing the same thing).

75fbd60b06 Walk all the overriding chain to try to find a template.
When one creates a new local static override from another linked
data-block already overriding a third one etc., walk the whole
inheritance chain up to the original ancestor to try to find an
overriding template, instead of only checking the immediate reference...

638afb9bd4 ID Static Override, part II: RNA changes.
This is essentially a huge refactor/extension of our existing RNA
compare & copy code, since static override needs more advanced handling here.

Note that not all new features are implemented yet, advanced things like
collections insertion/deletion are still TODO (medium priority).

This completes the ground work for overrides, remaining commits will be
about UI and some basic/testing activation of overrides for a limited
set of data-blocks & properties.

39b8a33068 Merge ID static override, part I: core changes in DNA, BKE and .blend read/write.
See https://developer.blender.org/D2417 for details.

Note that since static overrides rely heavily on RNA, this commit is
essentially invisible from user PoV, more in next commits.
