This commit adds a new menu entry - "Edit Driver" - the RMB menu that
will show a popover panel displaying the settings for the driver you
activated the menu item on. This shows the popover panel defined in
yesterday's commit (GRAPH_PT_drivers_popover).
It is possible to edit the driver settings from this panel now.
However, do be warned that the functionality presented is highly
WIP still. There are some unresolved issues, such as:
- The popover disappears too easily on any mouse movements/clicks
on anything, making the panel less useful right now than it should.
- The layout still needs refining. Currently the layout that's there
is a bit of a placeholder until we can play around with it a bit
more to see/feel what feels good/right or what is too much.
- The "Open Drivers Editor" on the bottom of the panel doesn't work.
There are some tricky context tricky things that need to happen here
to make that case work, since the operator button won't have the necessary
context info.

Confusing local diffs and causing merge conflicts,
Stating the obvious; redundant and useless...

* Added operator (Ctrl Shift Alt I) to show menu for changing the active Keying Set in the 3D view (todo item from last commit)
* KeyingSetInfo (i.e. the Builtin Keying Set classes) can now be accessed from Keying Set instances with ks.type_info
* Added ks.remove_all_paths() function to remove all the paths for a Keying Set.
---
These two changes mean that builtin Keying Sets could be refreshed in response to context changes by doing:
<code>
ks = bpy.context.scene.active_keying_set
if ks.absolute==False and ks.type_info:
ksi = ks.type_info
# remove existing paths to fill with new
ks.remove_all_paths()
# check if Keying Set can be used in current context
if ksi.poll(bpy.context):
# call iterator() which calls generate() and re-populates paths list
ksi.iterator(bpy.context, ks)
</code>
And then, once this has been done, the paths that the Keying Set will operate on can be accessed as
<code>
paths = bpy.context.scene.active_keying_set.paths
</code>
After a few days of wrong turns and learning the finer points of RNA-type-subclassing the hard way, this commit finally presents a refactored version of the Keying Sets system (now version 2) based on some requirements from Cessen.

------
The main highlight of this refactor is that relative Keying Sets have now been recoded so that Python callbacks are run to generate the Keying Set's list of paths everytime the Keying Set is used (to insert or delete keyframes), allowing complex heuristics to be used to determine whether a property gets keyframed based on the current context. These checks may include checking on selection status of related entities, or transform locks.
Built-In KeyingSets have also been recoded, and moved from C and out into Python. These are now coded as Relative Keying Sets, and can to some extent serve as basis for adding new relative Keying Sets. However, these have mostly been coded in a slightly 'modular' way which may be confusing for those not so familiar with Python in general. A usable template will be added soon for more general usage.
Keyframing settings (i.e. 'visual', 'needed') can now be specified on a per-path basis now, which is especially useful for Absolute Keying Sets, where control over this is often beneficial.
Most of the places where Auto-Keyframing is performed have been tidied up for consistency. I'm sure quite a few issues still exist there, but these I'll clean up over the next few days.
Added a new operator for properties which resets RNA-based settings to their 'default' values, as defined in RNA. This currently only works for floats, ints, enums, and booleans (strings and pointers still need to be implemented).
The current extensions to the RNA API that I've made here seem a bit excessive, and can be toned down if necessary. In short, I've just added accessor functions for the default-values of the property definitions.
For this to be really useful, many properties in RNA will need to get defaults defined, since the current defaults for quite a few properties tested were less than ideal.
Added a way to view and edit Keying Sets via the Scene Buttons. These are still some tweaks needed to make this really workable, but should still work well enough for simply viewing and tweaking existing Keying Sets created using other means.
Additional bugfixes:
* Adjusted the size of labels on properties that had a 'label' for their name. Now it uses 1/3 of the total width instead, which looks much better for most cases.
* Added missing entries for adding Force Fields from the Info-header 'Add' menu. At some point we should unify this menu with the popup operator's one, since this is exactly the kind of situation we had hoped in avoid with new UI architectures.
* Moved all the operator defines for keyframing stuff to the 'intern' anim header instead
* Cleaned up Keyframing API to get eliminate some of the problems faced during the original implementation of PoseLib, thus reducing code redundancy.
* Added new Animato evaluation functions specifically for use by PoseLib.
* Replaced parts of PoseLib code which relied on old animation system to the equivalent code for Animato. Notice the much cleaner + saner + compact code!
Next step is to operatorfy the PoseLib tools (while maintaining possibility for an API to some things) :)
