This is done by adding a new button type, GRIP, similar to other numbuttons
(scroll, slider, ...), which here controls the preview height.
Then, we add a new DNA struct to be able to save that height in Blend files
(note I choose not to use Panel struct for this, because we would then have the
same limitation we used to have with uiLists, only one preview per panel
and no preview outside panel).
This implies a change to template_preview UI RNA/py API (each preview needs an ID),
but this is backward compatible, as by default datablock type will be used if no ID is
given (which means e.g. all material previews with no ID will have same height).

For now this provides the following outputs:
- Color
- Light Vector
- Distance
- Shadow
- Visibility Factor
Note: Color output is multiplied by the lamp energy. Multiplication of
color*max(dot(light_vector,normal_vector),0)*shadow*visibility_factor
produces the exact same result as the Lambert shader.
Many thanks to Brecht for code review and discussion!
Summary:
Before this adding Surface type of force field and removing
this field would leave Surface modifier alive in the stack.
This might be really misleading and annoying.
Now removing force field will ensure no modifiers needed for
it are remained in the stack.
This also fixes missing notifier to redraw modifier stack
when changing force field type.

to quickly toggle it on/off.
Problem is accessing freed data, now the job is ended immediately. Fix based
on patch from Sergey and investigation from Bastien.
Many thanks to Brecht for the review!
* You can now drag-resize uiLists (in default or grid layouts).
** Note about "default" size: when you drag below minimal size of the uiList, it will automatically reset to automatic sizing (i.e. size between rows and maxrows, depending on the number of items to show). This often means (e.g. in Materials list with many mat slots) that the list will grow again to maxrows!
* Grid uiLists now have a customizable number of columns (previously it was a fixed value of 9), and they will respect the rows/maxrows settings as well (i.e. show a scrollbar when needed), instead of growing indefinitly!
flush the selection on entering editmode instead (since the selection mode can be changed with another mesh).
is other tools leave the selection incorrectly flushed, those will need to be fixed so transform works as expected.
So now, in the new "other" tex context, you can (depending on active data) have direct access to modifiers', force's or brushes' textures...
I also refactored a bit how texture contexts are handled (once again, we had some quite similar code in both space_buttons and RNA sources). This should also solve some harmless glitches like "no texture context selected in UI" sometimes when you remove data related to current texture (see e.g. after removing the material from default cube, in startup scene).
This usage of two different systems for textures, and the handling of switches between them, has been a bit tricky to get working right, but it is OK now I think. I also had to add a bool flag to buttons space, SB_TEX_USER_LIMITED (use_limited_texture_context in RNA), which indicates "new shading" texture code whether it has to ignore materials, lamps etc. (BI) or not (Cycles).
Btw, pinned textures from modifiers/force/etc. were also broken (showing nothing), now it should work too.
Thanks to Brecht for reviewing.
