This aims at always ensuring that ID.newid (and relevant LIB_TAG_NEW)
stay in clean (i.e. cleared) state by default.
To achieve this, instead of clearing after all id copy call (would be
horribly noisy, and bad for performances), we try to completely remove
the setting of id->newid by default when copying a new ID.
This implies that areas actually needing that info (mainly, object editing
area (make single user...) and make local area) have to ensure they set
it themselves as needed.
This is far from simple change, many complex code paths to consider, so
will need some serious testing. :/
This is very confusing, in fact, and rna tooltip was wrong,
BKE_object_make_local_ex actually ensures we never have several proxies
of same object, since it always clears proxy when it has to copy object
to make it local...
What that RNA function is probably missing, though, is same logic as in
BKE_library_make_local to actually remap proxy from old linked object to
new local one.
I) `clear_proxy` parameter was not assigned to parm in RNA define code,
so 'pyfunc optional' flag was set to `new_id` parameter of `user_remap`
func - super ugly!
II) `clear_proxy` parameter itself, when set to False, would allow to
leave .blend file in invalid state (more than one proxy of same object),
this should never, ever be allowed in RNA API imho. Left the PAI
untouched for now, just disabled any effect from this parameter (hence
always clearing proxy when copying).
This new `bpy.types.ID.make_local(clear_proxies=True)` allows Python
code to press the "Make Local" button on any ID block. I chose
`clear_proxies=True` as the default, since it's the default behaviour
of `id_make_local()` (defined in `library.c`).
The caller does need to take care of ensuring that linked-in objects
don't refer to local data, and that proxies aren't broken.

This commit allows RNA properties to return additional info on their editable state which may then be displayed in tooltips. To show how it works, it also adds some info for the editable check of proxies. For generally un-editable properties or properties of a linked data-block, RNA returns default strings.

New dependency graph puts materials to the graph in order to deal with animation
assigned to them and things like that. This leads us to a requirement to update
relations when slots changes.
This fixes: T49075 Assignment of a keyframed material using the frame_change_pre handler
doesn't update the keyframe using the new dependency graph
All in all, this patch adds an Alembic importer, an Alembic exporter,
and a new CacheFile data block which, for now, wraps around an Alembic
archive. This data block is made available through a new modifier ("Mesh
Sequence Cache") as well as a new constraint ("Transform Cache") to
somewhat properly support respectively geometric and transformation data
streaming from alembic caches.
A more in-depth documentation is to be found on the wiki, as well as a
guide to compile alembic: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/

Many thanks to everyone involved in this little project, and huge shout
out to "cgstrive" for the thorough testings with Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini
and Realflow as well as @fjuhec, @jensverwiebe and @jasperge for the
custom builds and compile fixes.

- icon_id from ID and PreviewImage were not guaranteed to be in sync.
- PreviewImage one was not reset on file read.
- Through RNA e.g., it was possible to ensure an ID icon via its preview image,
which was running code designed for custom previews/icons system, instead
of generating correct 'auto ID icon'.
This commit adds operators and Outliner menu entries to reload or relocate a library,
and to delete or replace a datablock.
RNA ID API is also extended to allow ID deletion and remapping from python.

Reviewed by campbellbarton, thanks a bunch.
This commit changes a lot of how IDs are handled internally, especially the unlinking/freeing
processes. So far, this was very fuzy, to summarize cleanly deleting or replacing a datablock
was pretty much impossible, except for a few special cases.
Also, unlinking was handled by each datatype, in a rather messy and prone-to-errors way (quite
a few ID usages were missed or wrongly handled that way).
One of the main goal of id-remap branch was to cleanup this, and fatorize ID links handling
by using library_query utils to allow generic handling of those, which is now the case
(now, generic ID links handling is only "knwon" from readfile.c and library_query.c).
This commit also adds backends to allow live replacement and deletion of datablocks in Blender
(so-called 'remapping' process, where we replace all usages of a given ID pointer by a new one,
or NULL one in case of unlinking).
This will allow nice new features, like ability to easily reload or relocate libraries, real immediate
deletion of datablocks in blender, replacement of one datablock by another, etc.
Some of those are for next commits.
A word of warning: this commit is highly risky, because it affects potentially a lot in Blender core.
Though it was tested rather deeply, being totally impossible to check all possible ID usage cases,
it's likely there are some remaining issues and bugs in new code... Please report them! ;)

This mainly adds bpy.data.user_map() method, which goes over the whole Main database
to build a mapping (dict) {ID: {users_of_that_ID}}.
Very handy to check and debug ID usages, but could also be really valuable for py addons
creating temporary scenes, or some exporters, etc.
Note: current code in master's libquery misses some IDs (and reports some it should not,
like nodetrees), this is fixed in id-remap but still needs serious review before going to master.
This basically means that current bpy.data.user_map() **will not** report a complete and exhaustive
state of dependencies between IDs. Should work OK in most cases though.
Original work/idea comes from id-remap branch, was heavily reworked by @campbellbarton
and myself for master.

This is purely internal sanitizing/cleanup, no change in behavior is expected at all.
This change was also needed because we were getting short on ID flags, and
future enhancement of 'user_one' ID behavior requires two new ones.
id->flag remains for persistent data (fakeuser only, so far!), this also allows us
100% backward & forward compatibility.
New id->tag is used for most flags. Though written in .blend files, its content
is cleared at read time.
Note that .blend file version was bumped, so that we can clear runtimeflags from
old .blends, important in case we add new persistent flags in future.
Also, behavior of tags (either status ones, or whether they need to be cleared before/after use)
has been added as comments to their declaration.

Raw int pixels can be nice in some cases (much less memory used), but converting to/from float values
(as e.g. expected by/from Image) is not simple in py, error prone and rather slow.
Not much to add, you can now clear previews from current .blend file, or a set of non-opened files.
Likewise, you can generate previews (for mat/tex, objects, groups, scenes, ...).
Two issues fixed in this commit:
- Clearing or adding animation via python should ensure relations are valid.
- Animation component animation data might be null caused by removing animation
from python.
This commit mainly:
* Exposes PreviewImage struct in RNA, including ways for user to set images data.
* Adds a new kind of PreviewImage, using a file path and IMB_thumb to get image.
* Adds a new kind of custom icon using PreviewImage, unrelated to ID previews system.
* Adds a python API (utils.previews) to allow python scripts to access those custom previews/icons.
Note that loading image from files' thumbnails is done when needed (deferred loading), not
when defining the custom preview/icon.
WARNING: for release addons who would want to use this, please keep it to a strict minimum, really needed level.
We do not want our UI to explode under hundreds of different flashy icons!

- error when invalid index value are passed in.
- remove last item if no index argument is given.

and RNA for it independent of the build flag for enabling Freestyle. Suggested
by Sergey Sharybin through a code review of the branch.
* Many #ifdef WITH_FREESTYLE blocks were removed to always have Freestyle-specific
DNA file specification and RNA for it built in Blender. This will allow Freestyle
setting survive even when a non-Freestyle build is used for loading and saving
files. It is noted that operations are still conditionally built through #ifdef
WITH_FREESTYLE blocks.
* To this end, new blenkernel files BKE_freestyle.h and intern/freestyle.c have
been added. All API functions in FRS_freestyle_config.h as well as some of those
in FRS_freestyle.h were moved to the new files. Now the relocated API functions
have BKE_ prefix instead of FRS_.
Resolved conflicts:

Also updated source/blender/blenkernel/intern/linestyle.c as a follow-up of
recent changes for the use of bool.
- remove unused block from before blender was opensourced (BKE_library_make_local)
noticed by Lawrence D'Oliveiro (ldo)
- remove text_idbutton() unused function.
- test_idbutton(name) was taking (name + 2), then checking 2 bytes before the pointer, this is error prone so better just take the name including the ID prefix.
