This adds the ability to switch between different application-configurations
without interfering with Blender's normal operation.
This commit doesn't include any templates,
so its mostly to allow collaboration for the Blender 101 project
and other custom configurations.
Application templates can be installed & selected from the file menu.
Other details:
- The `bl_app_template_utils` module handles template activation
(similar to `addon_utils`).
- The `bl_app_override` module is a general module
to assist scripts overriding parts of Blender in reversible way.

See patch: D2565
This is already called by wm_init_userdef, in old code
different initialization methods were used but now it's not needed.
Confusing since prefs are loaded in this function that don't initialize temp.
Internal change needed for template support.
Loading the user preferences first so it's possible
for preferences to control startup behavior.
In general it's useful to load preferences before data-files,
so we know security settings for eg.
Operator would call `WM_file_read()` directly whith G.main->name as filepath, which
gets freed whith main during new reading of file... Now use a local copy instead.
This commit adds a new `wm_files_link.c` which contains everything related to append/link code,
moved from `wm_operators.c` (rather small currently, but will expand quite a bit with future reload & asset works).
It also moves all load/save .bland files (and related userpref/startup stuff) from `wm_operators.c`
to `wm_files.c` (some helper funcs were already there).
This also makes `wm_operators.c` significantly lighter.
See rB935e241fa6ea095493 for details of the issue, but first fix caused regression T47632.
So for now handling the issue in a localized way, this is not a real solution (since this could happen
in other cases), but will do for 2.77.
This commit is to be backported to 2.77.
Primary goal of this commit is to fix an annoying issue - when processing and saving .blend
files in background mode you lose their thumbnails, since it can only be generated with
an OpenGL context.
Solution to that is to read .blend thumbnail while reading .blend file (only done in background
mode currently), and store it in Main struct.
Also, this lead to removing .blend file reading code from thumb_blend (no need to have doublons).
We now have a small interface in regular reading code area, which keeps it reasonbaly light
by only reading/parsing header info, and first few BHead blocks.
This makes code reading .blend thumbnail about 3 to 4 times slower than previous highly specialized
one in blend_thumb.c, but overall thumbnail generation of a big .blend files folder only grows
of about 1%, think we can bare with it.
Finally, since thumbnail is now optionally stored in Main struct, it makes it easy to allow user
to define their own custom one (instead of auto-generated one). RNA API for this was not added though,
accessing that kind of .blend meta-data has to be rethought a bit on a bigger level first.

Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D1469
- Add blentranslation `BLT_*` module.
- moved & split `BLF_translation.h` into (`BLT_translation.h`, `BLT_lang.h`).
- moved `BLF_*_unifont` functions from `blf_translation.c` to new source file `blf_font_i18n.c`.
