This is the same as D1427 / 89e5c75666
except for NlaStrip.fcurves instead of Action.fcurves. It makes finding
a specific fcurve in Python much easier, as you don't need a Python-side
loop any more.

Originally I was thinking of not restoring this functionality (see report for
further details). However, upon rechecking the code, it seems that there was
actually a define set up for this already, but which wasn't actually hooked up
yet. So, this commit basically exposes this option ("Sync Length") which ensures
that when exiting tweak mode on a NLA Strip, that strip instance (and not other
users of the same action) will be updated to include the newly added keyframes.
This option is not enabled by default, and shouldn't really be needed in most
("intended") workflows.
using numeric input
When using numeric input to move strips, the strip extent clamping code could
end up prematurely truncating one endpoint. This was because the clamping code
uses the values of the other end (e.g. end for start, and start for end) as one
of the limits on its allowable range to prevent inverted strips.
Now we just set these values twice - the first time, one of the endpoints may
still get truncated (while the other one will be able to go to its correct
value), then the second time both will get set correctly (and validated too).
* ID-blocks referenced by Constraints but not being used as the target objects
(such as Actions in the Action Constraint, or Text Blocks in PyConstraints) now
get usercounts for being referenced in this way. This should fix ancient bugs
such as [#19205] and [#8593]. More tests still needed to verify that this
does now play nicely with proxies.
* Changing actions used by NLA strips should now update the usercounts
accordingly
Note about long lines: I did not touch to two pieces of code (because I don’t see any way to keep a nicely formated, compact code, with shorter lines):
* The node types definitions into rna_nodetree_types.h
* The vgroup name functions into rna_particle.c
Causing a flurry of refresh file prompts post-commit,
Confusing local diffs and causing merge conflicts,
Stating the obvious; redundant and useless...

These are basically just for specifying when a speaker should fire off
it's soundclip, and as such, many NLA operations are irrelevant for
it. They can only be specified on object-level for speaker objects.
I've still got some UI tweaks I'll need to work on in order for these
to be able to be added even when the speaker doesn't have any NLA
tracks yet. (EDIT: while typing this, I had an idea for how to do
this, but that'll be for next commit). In the mean time, you'll need
to add a single keyframe for the object, snowflake that action and
delete the NLA strip before you can start editing.
* When clicking on "Animation" items in the Outliner, there's now a
menu containing from which you can change the action used, and
refresh/delete all drivers.
* Moved action-setting logic for AnimData actions to a single utility
function in anim_sys, since this was starting to be done in too many
places already.
* Fixed Outliner refresh bug after changing the active action
Actions now get tagged with an ID-code, which is used to determine
what ID-blocks they can be assigned to. This ensures that material
actions cannot be assigned to the object-level for example.
* Action lists in general will now show only the actions that can be
set for that particular slot. This prevents selection of invalid
actions, and helps cut down the list of actions.
** An exception here is the Add Action Clip in NLA Editor, which will
show all actions but will only add where appropriate. This is because
it's not easy/possible to tell in advance which blocktypes to filter
for when building this list. (TODO?)
* The "Action Editor" is now strictly for object-level action
editing+setting now. This avoids repeateded confusion by people who
try using this to view their shapekey actions, which should go to the
Shape Key Editor instead!
** A context switcher for the legitimate times where this capability
might come in handy is still being investigated.
* "Floating" actions (i.e. actions in some action_library.blend) are
NOT able to be automatically tagged until they are assigned to some
datablocks (i.e. loaded onto the rig + played back once). It is
possible to write scripts that check for certain RNA-paths and "guess"
what datablocks they work on, but it is recommended that you load up
the Datablocks Viewer, and go through such actions by hand, setting
the "ID Root Type" property as appropriate per action.
- WITH_OPENJPEG wasn't defined for creator.c with CMake.
- remove shadowed/redefined vars.
- remove some unused RNA report args.
- re-arrange IMB_FILE_TYPES so IRIS is not the first format tested, since its not very common test JPEG and PNG first.

Adds:
AnimData.nla_tracks.new(prev)
* (optional) prev -- add new track after this track
AnimData.nla_tracks.remove(track)
AnimData.nla_tracks.active(track)
* (optional) track -- track to set active
* returns active track
NlaTrack.strips.new(name, start, action)
NOTE: fails if the strip can't fit in the track as opposed to the
operator which will create a new track and add the strip to that.
* name -- name for new strip
* start -- start frame of new strip
* action -- action to assign to strip
NlaTrack.strips.remove(strip)

I've resolved the issue (noted in the original patch) regarding the
validation of the created strip by creating and using a "dummy
AnimData" block to solve the missing dependencies.
These are not animated and are best not change names like this too late in the release.
