This adds initial multi-object editing support.
- Selected objects are used when entering edit & pose modes.
- Selection & tools work on all objects however many tools need porting
See: T54641 for remaining tasks.
Indentation will be done separately.
See patch: D3101
- Wasn't clear which functions handle edit-bones.
- Mixed both ebone and edit_bone in names.
- Didn't use ED_armature_* prefix for public API.
See P655 to apply to branches.
Flip names operator changed in rB702bc5ba26d5, to some sensible
behavior. But this breaks common workflow of 'duplicate part of the
bones, scale-mirror new ones, and flip their names'.
So now, instead of doing this in two steps, trying to guesstimate which
bones should get which name, just add option to flip names to duplicate
operator itself. Simpler, safer, and much, much more consitent behavior
and predictable results.
This fix enables the usage of bbones easing parameters for edit and pose mode seperately. This allows animators to take advantage of the functionality and may eliminate confusion as the parameters now behave similar to other bbone parameters.
Note that splitting the parameters between the modes effectively creates a new parameter set. Blend files of previous versions do not contain this information and will have the values set to 0 on load. As it broke backwards compatibility for pose mode values anyway, I also took the liberty to rename the easing parameters in some places for consistency (which breaks edit mode values).

In addition to the original bug report, I've gone through cleaning up a range of
related bugs which only became clear when hunting around the code...
* Custom Handle References weren't getting cleared when the bones they used got
deleted. But, neither was the custom bone shape location/transform reference.
* Various places where posebone settings are copied around were also missing code
to handle the new Bendy Bone properties.
(WHY DO WE HAVE SO MANY VARIATIONS OF COPYING POSE DATA!?!?)
* If duplicating a Bendy Bone with custom references, and the custom references
are also selected/duplicated, the new Bendy Bones will use the corresponding
duplicated bones
This commit/patch/branch brings a bunch of powerful new options for B-Bones and
for working with B-Bones, making it easier for animators to create their own
rigs, using fewer bones (which also means hopefully lighter + faster rigs ;)
This functionality was first demoed by Daniel at BConf15
Some highlights from this patch include:
* You can now directly control the shape of B-Bones using a series of properties
instead of being restricted to trying to indirectly control them through the
neighbouring bones. See the "Bendy Bones" panel...
* B-Bones can be shaped in EditMode to define a "curved rest pose" for the bone.
This is useful for things like eyebrows and mouths/eyelids
* You can now make B-Bones use custom bones as their reference bone handles,
instead of only using the parent/child bones. To do so, enable the
"Use Custom Reference Handles" toggle. If none are specified, then the BBone will
only use the Bendy Bone properties.
* Constraints Head/Tail option can now slide along the B-Bone shape, instead of
just linearly interpolating between the endpoints of the bone.

D1147 by @julien, with fixes/improvements
Duplicate bones where needed, otherwise use existing.
Keeps parent relations intact, can operate on parts of an armature.
move only the origin and not the bone. It doesn't need to use any object
matrices to add the bone, the only reason this worked before is because they
were still unit matrices due to depsgraph not running immediately on add.
This commit splits editarmature.c and poseobject.c into several files, such that
certain types of functionality are (mostly) self-contained within particular
files (instead of being mixed in with other functionality in a large file).
In particular, this was done so that:
1) Armature EditMode tools are now in the armature_*.c files only, and Pose Mode
tools in pose_*.c files only.
- In one or two cases, this hasn't been possible as the two modes rely on
much of the same shared infrastructure.
2) The "clear loc/rot/scale" operators and pose show/hide are no longer housed
in editarmature.c
3) Selection operators, Transform operators, structural (add/delete) operators,
and supporting utilities for the modes (enter/exit/roll-calculations) are not
all interleaved in an ad-hoc manner
Notes:
* I've tried to ensure that the history of the new files has been maintained by
doing
svn copy {editarmature.c/poseobject.c} {armature_*.c/pose_*.c}
Unfortunately, this means that the diffs are a bit messy.
* There should be no functional/logic changes here. Just code moving around and
cosmetic comment tweaks where needed.
* #includes have largely been untouched for now, but could be cleaned up later
* CMake changes untested, but should work in theory.
