This adds the remaining object categories to the Create tab, including Nurb Surfaces, Lamps, Meta objects, etc. I've also updated the labeling for the various buttons to be consistent with one another.
This adds buttons in the 3D View toolbar to add new mesh objects to the scene. These buttons are added via the Create tab/category, soon to be populated with other object types as well.
A panel is added for both Object mode and Edit mode so as to not display in incorrect context (such as Pose Mode).
This updates the organization and naming of the Basic tab for the 3D View toolbar. It reorganizes the tools that were already there and adds Mirror and Duplicate Linked object operators.
Summary:
Here are the initial tabs for the 3D View Object Mode toolbar. This is based on the discussions between myself and @billrey in T37569
P.S. apologies for the duplicate. The first one I mistakenly sent to the Edit Mode task, T37568. I have corrected it and also made a couple changes, per @campbellbarton's request.

This aligns the User Preferences > File > Author field and label horizontally, saving space and making it more consistent with author text fields within the same section.
This commit adjusts the spacing of the items in User Preferences > System. The spacing is adjusted via separators between each section of options. This better differentiates between groups of options. It also removes a few extra separators for more consistency.
This is the simplest possible volume rendering case, constant density inside
the volume and no scattering or emission. My plan is to tweak, verify and commit
more volume rendering effects one by one, doing it all at once makes it
difficult to verify correctness and track down bugs.

Currently this hooks into path tracing in 3 ways, which should get us pretty
far until we add more advanced light sampling. These 3 hooks are repeated in
the path tracing, branched path tracing and transparent shadow code:
* Determine active volume shader at start of the path
* Change active volume shader on transmission through a surface
* Light attenuation over line segments between camera, surfaces and background
This is work by "storm", Stuart Broadfoot, Thomas Dinges and myself.
* Henyey-Greenstein scattering closure implementation.
* Rename transparent to absorption node and isotropic to scatter node.
* Volume density is folded into the closure weights.
* OSL support for volume closures and nodes.
* This commit has no user visible changes, there is no volume render code yet.
This is work by "storm", Stuart Broadfoot, Thomas Dinges and myself.
The options are:
Base: Base mesh
Deform: shape keys and deform modifiers
Final: All deformations and modifiers
It would be nice to have a way of specifying where exactly in the
modifier stack the collision shape is generated. However this is not
staight forward since the rigid body simulation is not part of the
modifier system and would require hacks to make it work.
It is now possible to display per-frame track reprojection
error in curve view of clip editor. Simply enable corresponding
option in filter buttons.
Currently displayed using blue color which might confuse with
average reprojection error, further color tweaks are possible
and easy.
Also changed icon track x/y curves. Better icons here are
really appreciated.
Previously there was no way to see if autopack was enabled. Now the external
data menu has 3 entries instead of 2:
* Automatically Pack Into .blend (with checkbox to indicate autopack on/off)
* Pack All Into .blend
* Unpack All Into Files
Fixes T37608, includes modifications by Brecht from the original patch.

Levels of detail can be added and modified in the object panel. The object
panel also contains new tools for generating levels of detail, setting up
levels of detail based on object names (useful for importing), and
clearing an object's level of detail settings. This is meant as a game
engine feature, though the level of details settings can be previewed in
the viewport.

There were several issues with how bounding box and texture space
are calculated:
- This was done at the same time as applying modifiers, meaning if
several objects are sharing the same curve datablock, bounding
box and texture space will be calculated multiple times.
Further, allocating bounding box wasn't safe for threading.
- Bounding box and texture space were evaluated after pre-tessellation
modifiers are applied. This means Curve-level data is actually
depends on object data, and it's really bad because different
objects could have different modifiers and this leads to
conflicts (curve's data depends on object evaluation order)
and doesn't behave in a predictable way.
This commit moves bounding box and texture space evaluation from
modifier stack to own utility functions, just like it's was done
for meshes.
This makes curve objects update thread-safe, but gives some
limitations as well. Namely, with such approach it's not so
clear how to preserve the same behavior of texture space:
before this change texture space and bounding box would match
beveled curve as accurate as possible.
Old behavior was nice for quick texturing -- in most cases you
didn't need to modify texture space at all. But texture space
was depending on render/preview settings which could easily lead
to situations, when final result would be far different from
preview one.
Now we're using CV points coordinates and their radius to approximate
the bounding box. This doesn't give the same exact texture space,
but it helps a lot keeping texture space in a nice predictable way.
We could make approximation smarter in the future, but fir now
added operator to match texture space to fully tessellated curve
called "Match Texture Space".
