It basically rewrites most of filelist.c, with some more limited changes in other areas of filebrowser.
From user perspective, it:
* Removes some info in 'long' drawing mode (owner, permissions) - OS-specific data that do not really matter in Blender!
* Makes short/long display 'fixed' size (among four choices, like thumbnails mode).
* Allows to list several layers of dirtree at once, in a flat way (inside .blend files and/or real directories).
* Consequently, adds datablocks types filtering.
* Uses way less RAM when listing big directories, especially in thumbnail mode (we are talking of several hundred of MiB spared).
* Generates thumbnails way faster.
From code perspective, it:
* Is ready for asset engine needs (on data structure level in filebrowser's listing).
* Simplifies and makes 'generic' file listing much lighter.
* Separates file listing in three different aspects:
** 'generic' filelisting (in BLI), which becomes a shallow wrapper around stat struct.
** 'filebrowser drawing' filelisting, which only contains current visible subset of the whole list (sliding window), with extra drawing data (strings for size, date/time, preview, etc.).
** 'asset-ready' filelisting, which is used for operations common to 'basic' filehandling and future asset-related one.
* Uses uuid's to handle file selection/state in the browser, instead of using flags in filelisting items.
* Uses much lighter BLI_task handling for previews, instead of heavy 'job' system (using the new 'notifier' timer to handle UI refresh, in similar way to jobs).
* Moves .blend datablocks preview handling to IMB_thumbnail (necessary to avoid storing all datablock previews at once, and gives better consistency and performances too).

Thanks to Campbell & Sergey for the reviews. :)
- 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`.
* Do not translate renderlayers' names, those are data, not UI (defined by user).
* Translate passes' names, even in button itself (menu items were already translated).
* Translate 'ID type' in ID eyedropper helper message.
Also, added i18n context to IDType private struct, and `BKE_idcode_to_translation_context()`
helper, much more generic and easy to maintain than the private util in interface_template.c.
- label is shown on a UI_UNIT_Y heigh instead of 0.2 * total button size
- vertically centering non-ID previews labels
- making some constants dependent on ui units
- elongate the buttons to acomodate the icon without the label overlapping.
- removing the blue background
- adding a consistent margin all around the popup
Currently this function only tags pose itself, totally matching previous
behavior. But this will be needed in the future once new dependency graph
is landed, because of it's granular nature which relies on the fact that
pose channels are all up to date when building the graph.
Should be no functional changes so far.
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!

Normal dragging now uses a precision of 0.01 instead of 0.1, shift+dragging now uses 0.001. (0.1 steps can still be done using ctrl)

Added translation there, also fixed a stupid bug which was leading most internal
operators to have 'dual' i18n_context (default NULL one and default 'Operator' one).
When defined, uiBut->tip_func is called when button's tip is generated. This allows
for advanced, dynamic generation of tooltips.
For now, only used by UIList, which can now optionaly use a given string property
of each item for its tooltip.
Thanks to Campbell for the reviews!
Mainly consistency changes and smaller fixes.
* Environment Texture Nodes:
** show image info
** split layout for menus (showing menu title on the left)
** hierarchical button order
* Image Nodes:
** disable Alpha Mode menu if Use Alpha is disabled
** Don't show "+" icon/button if an image is already loaded
** Consistent alignment of menu buttons (see Input Color Space menu)
Requested and approved by @venomgfx
`BLI_strncpy_ensure_pad()` is also useful with current master code.
The two others (`BLI_strcmp_ignore_pad()` and `BLI_filelist_duplicate()`)
are only used in asset branch currently, but think they could be useful
in other places too, and simplifies handling of asset branch & future patch review.

Make the UI API more consistent and reduce confusion with some naming.
mainly:
- API function calls
- enum values
some internal static functions have been left for now
Decouple color picker hsv data from the whole block. Basically, each
color picker now takes care of creating its own color picker role. For
this bug report it can be seen that probably HSV is not the best space
for gamma/lift/gain workflow because it is bounded at 1.0 but this is a
separate issue.
Issue, after a lot of blood sweat and tears, was found in
ui_but_update_from_old_block, where we restore a button to its old
values when possible. The problem here is that a1 and a2 are not really
meant to store temporary variables, because they tend to get overriden
and palette selection is one of those temporary states.
Instead, we now store the position of each button in the palette in a2
and pointer to the palette in the customdata pointer of each button and
use that to test if it's active. The positions won't change when
clicking so we are guaranteed that the old button won't override the new
one with garbage.
It's still hacky but it is better than testing button types when copying
old values.
Commits early in this year (to save some space) broke this. Hopefully this time
it works in all cases - lastCageIndex is no more influenced by realtime/edit active states.
Also, inactivate buttons instead of hiding them, can be useful to set those data
even though it does not have any immediate effect.
Took the opportunity to switch cage buttons to RNA, btw.
