Normal Map node support for GLSL mode and the internal render (multiple tangents support).
The Normal Map node is a useful node which is present in the Cycles render.
It makes it possible to use normal mapping without additional material node in a node tree.
This patch implements Normal Map node for GLSL mode and the internal render.
Previously only the active UV layer was used to calculate tangents.
This patch adds a new `falloff_type` ('Inverse Coefficients') for Lamps in
Blender-Internal and GLSL.
The current falloff modes use a formula like this inverse-square one:
`I = E × (D^2 / (D^2 + Q × r^2))`
While such a formula is simple for 3D-artists to use, it's algebraically
cumbersome to work with. Game-designers authoring their own shaders
could benefit much more by having direct control of falloff-coefficients:
`I = E × (1.0 / (coefC + coefL × r + coefQ × r^2))`
In this mode, the `distance` parameter is unused (except for 'Sphere'
mode); instead relying on the designer to mathematically-model the
falloff-behavior.
The UI has been patched like so:

Mainly it's related on a bad practice in SDL to force-define __SSE__
and __SSE2__ flags which generates quite some warnings and causes too
much noise.
There are some other warnings fixed. Should be no functional changes.

This patch adds a new API which allow us to access light shadow settings from python. The new API can be used to write custom GLSL materials with shadows.

The generic tangent calculation relied on CDDM arrays which aren't available in edit-mode.
Add a tangent calculation callback, which has its own implementation for editmesh data.
Notes:
* Code in rendering and in game engine will still convert
tangents to a tessface representation. Added code that
takes care of tangent layer only, might be removed
when BGE and rendering goes full mlooptri mode.
* Baking should work discovered some dead code while
I was working on the patch, also tangents are broken
when baking from multires (also in master), but those
are separate issues that can be fixed later.
This should fix T45491 as well
This is essential for video projection, and the alternative until now was to manually change the projection matrix via Python.

Also this is working for perspective and orto cameras BUT if the sensor is not AUTO it will only look correct in blenderplayer (this is an unrelated bug, but just in case someone runs into it while testing this, now you know why you got the issue).
Kudos for the BlenderVR project for supporting this feature development.

Angular velocity clamping was missing from the BGE. It is implemented
similarly to the linear velocity clamping. It is needed to be able to
drive physical simulations of systems that have a limited rotational
speed.

A Python API for the collision group / mask has been added:
```
KX_GameObject.collisionGroup
KX_GameObject.collisionMask
```
The maximum number of collision groups and masked has been increased from eight to sixteen.
This means that the max value of collisionGroup/Mask is (2 ** 16) - 1
EndObject will now activate objects that were sleeping and colliding with the removed object.
This means that, unlike now, if a rigid body starts sleeping on top of another object, when the latter is removed the rigid body will activate and fall, rather than float midair as before.
Collision groups that do not intersect used to collide on the first frame. Now this has been fixed so that they collide appropriately.

This change introduces a new hysteresis parameter that it will be added
or subtracted to/from the LOD distance to avoid popping when a LOD
object moves close to the LOD transition continuously.
Then, we have the following:
- a new LOD Hysteresis setting per scene (default 10%) which is located
in Scene context --> Level of Detail panel. This scene parameter also
will active/deactive the scene hysteresis.
- and a new LOD Hysteresis setting per object (default 10%) which is
located in Object context --> Levels of Detail panel. The LOD hysteresis
setting per object (if active) will overwrite the hysteresis setting per
scene value.
For the new blends: the hysteresis setting per scene would be active by
default and the per object would be inactive by default.
For the old blends: both hysteresis settings (per scene and per object)
would be inactive by default. A quick way to take advantage of this
feature for old blends would be to activate the hysteresis parameter in
the scene context -> Level of Detail panel

These were used in BL_CreatePhysicsObjectNew() in the converter. However, all
of the data put into KX_ObjectProperties was then copied again in
KX_ConvertBulletObject(). So, instead KX_ConvertBulletObject() now gathers the
information it needs itself, which avoid this odd double conversion step for
physics.
As a side-effect, the old code would result in static non-mesh objects with no bounds
set to still have triangle mesh bounds. This would result in no bounds for these objects.
If a bounds was set that required a mesh, non-mesh objects would become sphere bounds.
This is now true regardless of whether user bounds were set. In other words, static
non-mesh objects now use sphere bounds by default instead of mesh bounds. This might
slightly alter some games, but these objects should generally be set to No Collision
anyways.
There was some deadlock due to trying manage Python's GIL. Instead of
continuing to fight with it, anything needing to call into Python while
conversion during lib loading is just delayed until it can be done in
the main thread.
This required BL_ArmatureObject to have tighter control over armatures and poses.
Also, (Blender) armature objects are now copied instead of shared between
BL_ArmatureObjects to avoid race conditions. Also, due to the armature copy,
shape key drivers need a bit of extra fiddling to get the correct armature copy.
Initially OpenMP was used for threading, but then BLI_task was used due to being
less compiler dependent.
This commit also places time spent on skinning updates in the Animation
profiler category (was previously under the Rasterizer category).
The ultimate goal is to only allow the rasterizer to handle OpenGL and bf_gpu
calls. This commit creates a RAS_ILightObject interface and a RAS_OpenGLLight
implementation.
These types of meshes do not use material caching, and thus only the first created
material would be saved, but subsequent ones were not. Those subsequent materials
were then not being freed. Now we make sure to track all of the materials.
Note: Meshes that cannot make use of material caching (no materials or using face textures)
can still use up a large amount of RAM since a material is created per face.
The "Cast Shadows" worked as expected, but it can cause problem in some cases.
For example, when using strand render, we need disabling only buffer shadows,
but the previous changes made that impossible. "Cast Shadows" should be added
as a newly created option.
Since threaded object update we've disabled in-place
curve evaluation (in cases when applying curve modifier
with target curve non-evaluated yet).
This requires game engine to take care of DAG and object
evaluation (currently it's designed to export only objects
it able to render).
This workaround will make sure that curve_cache for curves
is up-to-date.
This allows us to make materials that don't cast ray shadows.
Turning off this property can reduce the rendering time slightly.
Note: RNA path is changed to "use_cast_shadows" as well. The older
path "use_cast_buffer_shadows" still can be used as its alias, but
it will be removed after updating some addons.
