When importing an Alembic file with grouped transforms, it would badly name the transforms, taking the name of the parent instead of its own.

Removed unnecessary call to DM_update_tessface_data(). This call is
already performed by DM_ensure_tessface(dm). The call being performed
twice caused a failing BLI_assert().

With the new names the arguments (yup, zup) are in the same order as
they appear in the function name. The old names used copy_src_dst(dst,
src), which I found very confusing. Furthermore, now it is clear from
where to where the copy is made.
This makes the function names a little bit longer, though. If that is
a real issue, we can just name them zup_from_yup(zup, yup).

Most of them are harmless implicit conversions (e.g. Alembic deals with
doubles for storing time information when Blender uses both ints and
floats/doubles) or class/struct mismatch on forward declarations.
Crash is due by mismatching loops and faces counts between the Alembic
data and the Blender derivedmesh which does not appear so
straightforward to fix (the crash happens deep in the derivedmesh code).
So for now, try to detect if the topology has changed and if so, both
only read vertices (vertex colors and UVs won't be read, as tied to face
loops) and add a warning message in the modifier's UI to let the user
know.
- Remove 'rotate_m2', unlike 'rotate_m4' it created a new matrix
duplicating 'angle_to_mat2' - now used instead.
(better avoid matching functions having different behavior).
- Add 'axis_angle_to_mat4_single',
convenience wrapper for 'axis_angle_to_mat3_single'.
- Replace 'unit_m4(), rotate_m4()' with a single call to 'axis_angle_to_mat4_single'.
constraints.
This avoids traversing the archive everytime object data is needed and
gives an overall consistent ~2x speedup here with files containing
between 136 and 500 Alembic objects. Also this somewhat nicely de-
duplicates code between data creation (upon import) and data streaming
(modifiers and constraints).
The only worying part is what happens when a CacheFile is deleted and/or
has its path changed. For now, we traverse the whole scene and for each
object using the CacheFile we free the pointer and NULL-ify it (see
BKE_cachefile_clean), but at some point this should be re-considered and
make use of the dependency graph.
This would cause Alembic to throw an exception and fail exporting
animations because it was trying to recreate and overwrite the
attributes for each frame.

There were a couple of crashes caused by stupid typos in
rB631af9f930d2fd2c76751204ff22239aa95f761d and
rB78ea06fea4a74181c25254ed72d50d8a743b6954, as well as a shamefull lack
of 'testing before committing' which only affect exporting.
One crash was due to using RNA_boolean_get instead of RNA_enum_get, the
other one was a tricky case of order of deletion happening in the
destructors of AbcExporter and ArchiveWriter.
Should not affect RC or release.
Crash was due to a name collision in Alembic objects caused by the fact
that names derive from the one of the Blender object. An object having
multiple particles system would thus give its name to various
subobjects.
Now use the name of the particles system for the Alembic object.
Now we pass streams to Alembic instead of passing the filename string.
That way we can open the stream ourselves with the proper unicode
encoding.
Note that this only applies to Ogawa archive, as HDF5 does not support
streams.

All in all, this patch adds an Alembic importer, an Alembic exporter,
and a new CacheFile data block which, for now, wraps around an Alembic
archive. This data block is made available through a new modifier ("Mesh
Sequence Cache") as well as a new constraint ("Transform Cache") to
somewhat properly support respectively geometric and transformation data
streaming from alembic caches.
A more in-depth documentation is to be found on the wiki, as well as a
guide to compile alembic: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/

Many thanks to everyone involved in this little project, and huge shout
out to "cgstrive" for the thorough testings with Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini
and Realflow as well as @fjuhec, @jensverwiebe and @jasperge for the
custom builds and compile fixes.
