The absence of datablock properties "will certainly be resolved soon as the need for them is becoming obvious" said the [[http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.67/Python_Nodes|Python Nodes release notes]]. So this patch allows Python scripts to create ID Properties which reference datablocks.
This functionality is implemented for `PointerProperty` and now such properties can be created with Python.
In addition to the standard update callback, `PointerProperty` can have a `poll` callback (standard RNA) which is useful for search menus. For details see the test included in this patch.

Same as MEM_SAFE_FREE macro,
checks for NULL, runs free then sets NULL.
Blocks of code that do this many times are noisy and likely
errors here wouldn't be noticed immediately.
Also NULL's static vars which were being left set.
See intern/gawain for the API change. Other files are updated to use the new name. Also updated every call site to the recommended style:
unsigned int foo = VertexFormat_add_attrib(format, "foo", COMP_ ... )
These bits became obsolete with the new layer system, so we can
simplify some code around them or avoid existing workarounds which
were trying to keep things working for them.
There are still work needed to be done for on_visible_change to
avoid unnecessary updates, but that can also happen later.
Objects that were using the same lamp data were having the same display matrices.
This is fixed by allowing engine to store a memory block inside the object itself.
This moves selectability/visibility flag flush from some hardcoded
places in the code to depsgraph. This way it is possible to simply
tag depsgraph to update those flags and rest it'll do on its own.
Using depsgraph for such flush is an overkill: those flags are fully
static and can not be animated, so it doesn't really make sense to
hook only those to depsgraph.
However, in the future we will have overrides on collections, which
ideally would need to be animatable and drivable and easiest way
to support this is to do this on depsgraph level, so it ensures
proper order of evaluation for animation and drivers. And it seems
logical to do both overrides and flags flush from depsgraph from
this point of view.
This commit also includes the evaluation of IDProperty for collections,
which basically are just another form of override. So once we implement
the other kind of overrides the flushing and collection evaluation won't
change.

This should have been done earlier. But now that we may see more activity in master due to bcon3 merges, it is even more important to stress out the separation between master and 2.8.
Also I needed the version bump for idproperties doversion (they needed
to happen in _after_linking, and we don't have access to
DNA_struct_elem_find there).
Last but not least, every time I posted a video or image from 2.80, I
got someone confused about the version showing in the infobar.
First this replace a custom data struct with IDProperty, and use
IDProperty group merge and copying functions. Which means that a collection
property setting is only created if necessary.
This implements the "Layer Collection settings" override system, as
suggested in the "Override Manifesto" document.
The core is working, with Scene, LayerCollection and Object using a
single IDProperty to store all the render settings data. Next step is to
migrate this to depsgraph.
Note: Clay engine "ssao_samples" was hardcoded to 32 for now. It will come
back as part of "Workspace Settings" later.
Many thanks for Bastien Montagne for the help with the UI template
nightmare ;)
