Quite straightforward implementation -- all the conversion magic is
happening in IMB_exr_write_channels() and remained changes are only
needed to pass information whether channels is to be converted to
half float or not.
Regular file output will use full-float for Z pass, which matches
behavior of the single layer EXR files. But when saving happens
with File Output node then all the passes are respecting half float
settings because it's not possible to distinguish whether we're
saving Z pass or not.

We have to regenerate previews when we change language. But we also need to do it
when translation is changed or added for a language, etc.
Previously, we were storing one preview per language, which was also stuffing
preview dir with (potentially) tens of PNGs per font file, if user plays with translations.
Now we use a better system, which is storing an additional optional metadata in previews
(some hexdigest), that Blender can use in addition to datetime to decide when to regenerate
previews.
This is only used (and needed) by font previews so far, but can easily be reused for other
types of previews if needed.
when mipmap is off.
We used to always have nearest interpolation for texpaint but at least
make this work with mipmap off correctly.
Also added conversion casts to avoid integer overflow in filtering code
This will fix exporting of metadata and importing for imbufs, but image
editor will not display these metadata since multilayer gets converted
to renderresult, which does not support metadata display yet.
This commit is more meant for external image editors/viewers.
Also use C++-style unused arguments tagging instead of legacy c-style.
It's less annoying this way because does not require adding argument to
two places of the function.
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!

transform.
IMB_makeSingleUser makes a copy and destroys metadata. I am not sure if
this is the safest way to make a single user ImBuf (setting the refcount
to 0 is simpler and there's less, but no zero, risk of dangling
pointers) but I will leave this as is for now in case there is an actual
need for a copy here. The alternative approach should be tested at some
point.
Moral of the story: Make sure that size_t is used whenever pointer
arithmetic is involved. For images, that basically means whenever any
squared dimensions are involved. Casting an operand to size_t early in
the operation is usually sufficient to force the entire operation to
size_t.
There might still be places lurking where we don't support this
correctly. This has been tested with render pipeline, quite a few image
functions (meaning we can paint on such images now, albeit somewhat
slowly ;) ) and export to jpeg. Too many places in code to check so I
guess we'll be handling cases as they come.
Don't try this at home unless you have an immense ammount of RAM.
First GPixel render of suzanne in the multiverse can be found here:
http://download.blender.org/demo/test/suzanne-billion-pixel.jpg
Can be viewed from blender (takes about 3.3 GB after loading but may
take more during loading so 8GB might be more safe to try this).
We can now scale from 32px up to 256px (default has been upgraded to 128px).
Thumbnails are now generated as 'large', i.e. 256px.
Previews are scaled up if necessary, unlike icons (for folders or files without preview images).
Note that .blend thumbnails themselves remain in 128px for now (they are embeded in .blend files,
not quite sure we want to make them four times bigger...).

Basically, blender adds a few metadata fields to images when
we render an image. Those metadata can now be viewed in the
image editor.
Also, made sure metadata are available when we write imbufs
to disc with "Save As". There may be more cases here that need
fixing, but this means that loading an image with metadata
will now properly preserve them in blender.
Not much to say, this is pretty straightforward.
We just have to add current locale to thumbnails 'signature', so that
previews get re-generated when we change locale...
Tested with Japanese and French.
Btw, I do not really understand why using BLF in ImBuf is badlevel... :/
(Partial) backport from asset-experiments branch.
Reorganization: previously we could recompute name/path of thumb file two or three times,
now added lower-level internal functions that take those as parameters, so in most case
they are computed only once. Very minor optimization, but simple too.
Also, path of file to preview is now decoupled from path used to generate its URI
(and hence thumbnail path). In asset-experiments branch this is needed because
we also handle datablock previews in/as thumbnails (file_path is .blend path,
URI is .blend path + datablock 'path').
Here this will be needed for same kind of reason - once translated, font thumbnails
need to be re-generated when we change current language...
D1002 by @plasmasolutions, with own refactoring.
Note, needed to do a bad-level call here (IMB -> BLF)
Also can't use the BLF API directly because its not thread-safe.
So keep the function isolated (blf_thumbs.c).

Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

directory is used.
This is done by appending the name of the file as extra folder. Existing
projects may need to regenerate their proxies but it should be possible
now to have all proxies nicely in the same custom folder.
Next commits will include operators to copy directory settings between
selected strips, making the process faster.
