Better to make internal code naming match official/UI naming to some
extent, this will reduce confusion in the future.
This is 'breaking' scripts and files that would use that feature, but
since it is not yet officially supported nor exposed in 2.80, as far
as that release is concerned, it is effectively
a 'no functional changes' commit.
This fixes poor Cycles panel ordering, with Freestyle and Custom Properties
appearing at the top.
For most cases order of registration is still the easiest way to control
order and it's recommended to keep using that. This is mainly to solve a few
cases where we want a few built-in panels to appear below add-on panels.
Creating a fully functional custom property requires also setting up
its limits, description, default value and static override status.
It is complex enough to warrant providing an official utility.
Currently boolean properties are technically int, but the utility
pretends they are separate in case that eventually they are.

NLA requires a usable default value for all properties that
are to be animated via it, without any exceptions. This is
the real cause of T36496: using the default of 0 for a scale
related custom property obviously doesn't work.
Thus, to really fix this it is necessary to support configurable
default values for custom properties, which are very frequently
used in rigs for auxiliary settings. For common use it is enough
to support this for scalar float and integer properties.
The default can be set via the custom property configuration
popup, or a right click menu option. In addition, to help in
updating old rigs, an operator that saves current values as
defaults for all object and bone properties is added.

Misleading name since it's between 0..1.
Use as a keyword argument to prepare for keyword only args.
Also document that leaving unset has special behavior.
We could not edit them, but still could delete them, which makes no
sense, API-defined properties are similar to class members, removing
them from single instances is pure garbage. And it was broken anyway.
Found by @a.romanov while checking on T51198, thanks.
- add support for IDProp array slicing, but not resizing.
- rename array attribute type to typecode and use chars 'f', 'd', 'i' which match pythons array module. (was using int's which only have a meaning internally).
- rename function 'convert_to_pyobject' to 'to_dict' and 'to_list' for IDProp group and array types respectively.
- remove 'len' array attribute, calling len(array) is fine.
path -> filepath (for rna and operators, as agreed on with elubie)
path -> data_path (for windowmanager context functions, this was alredy used in many places)
