This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.

- Add blentranslation `BLT_*` module.
- moved & split `BLF_translation.h` into (`BLT_translation.h`, `BLT_lang.h`).
- moved `BLF_*_unifont` functions from `blf_translation.c` to new source file `blf_font_i18n.c`.
Most of the places which relied on RNA_path_resolve() did so believing that if
it returned true, that it had found a valid property, and that the returned
pointer+property combination would be what the path referred to. However, it
turns out that if the property at the end of the path turns out to be a
"pointer" property (e.g. "data" for Object.data), this would automatically
become the pointer part, while the prop part would be set to null. Hence, if a
user accidentally (or otherwise) specifies a path for the single-property driver
variable type like this, then Blender would crash.
This commit introduces two convenience functions - RNA_path_resolve_property()
and RNA_path_resolve_property_full() - which mirror/wrap the existing
RNA_path_resolve() functions. The only difference though is that these include a
check to ensure that what was found from resolving the path was in fact a
property (they only return true iff this is the case), and make it explicitly
clear in the name that this is what they will do so that there's no further
confusion. It is possible to do without these wrapper functions by doing these
checks inline, but the few cases that had been patched already were pretty
hideous looking specimens. Using these just make it clearer and simpler for all.
I've also beefed up the docs on these a bit, and changed these to using bools.
Thanks Sergey for the patch!
This bug, and many like it would arise because at some point a F-Curve would get
detected as being unable to be resolved (when trying to display its name in an
Animation Editor), so gets tagged as being "disabled". It was assumed that such
channels usually belonged to deleted data or stuff that wouldn't be able to be
resolved again for a long time. However, in cases like UV settings, they may
only be unavailable temporarily.
As a compromise, this patch clears this disabled flag if a channel is found to
be now working when (in the process of finding out its name when redrawing an
Animation Editor) it can be resolved, in the same place where the disabling was
taking place. This doesn't work fullproof in tests I've done, but should be
nicer than before.

* F-Curves no longer show the name of the datablock of the property
they affect if this is an ID-block. For example, transform curves for
a cube won't get the "... (Cube)" suffix anymore. In these cases, it's
relatively clear that these belong to the parent datablock, so doing
this should be fine (and reduces clutter).
However, for non-id data (i.e. subsurf modifier settings) or bones,
this info still gets shown. In these cases, there is some ambiguity.
* "ActiveAct: <...>" is no longer shown for NLA action channels (i.e.
just the name of the action gets shown). This should make it easier to
see at a glance what action is being used.
- use NULL rather then 0 where possible (makes code & function calls more readable IMHO).
- set static variables and functions (exposed some unused vars/funcs).
- use func(void) rather then func() for definitions.
Buttons for editing RNA paths/array index for F-Curves that aren't working are now actually functional. This means that when invalid paths are present, they can be manually fixed up.
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:
http://www.pasteall.org/9052/python
* When there is only a single keyframe for a F-Curve, the handles aren't shown anymore. This looks nicer than the fat orange blobs that appeared
* Tweaked the management of GL_BLEND when drawing animation channels in the Graph Editor in an attempt to fix some of the missing text drawn issues.
* Converted the properties panel to use layout engine + added color selectors
* Only F-Curves and Drivers that affect selected bones will be visible when this happens.
* Moved the function to grab text within a pair of "" following some prefix to blenlib.
In Animation Editors, F-Curves for Pose Channel Constraints now include the Pose Channel and Constraint names in the 'owner' part of the name displayed, making it easier to identify which Pose Channel some constraint F-Curve belonged to.
e.g. The influence setting for an IK Constraint on bone "Boney"
Old Version: Influence (IK)
New Version: Influence (Boney : IK)
We can experiment with different representations of this later (maybe '>' instead of ':' ?)
Example code: http://www.pasteall.org/7332/c.
New API functions: http://www.pasteall.org/7330/c.
Maximum number of dimensions is currently limited to 3, but can be increased arbitrarily if needed.
What this means for ID property access:
* MeshFace.verts - dynamic array, size 3 or 4 depending on MFace.v4
* MeshTextureFace.uv - dynamic, 2-dimensional array, size depends on MFace.v4
* Object.matrix - 2-dimensional array
What this means for functions:
* more intuitive API possibility, for example:
Mesh.add_vertices([(x, y, z), (x, y, z), ...])
Mesh.add_faces([(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6), ...])
Python part is not complete yet, e.g. it is possible to:
MeshFace.verts = (1, 2, 3) # even if Mesh.verts is (1, 2, 3, 4) and vice-versa
MeshTextureFace.uv = [(0.0, 0.0)] * 4 # only if a corresponding MFace is a quad
but the following won't work:
MeshTextureFace.uv[3] = (0.0, 0.0) # setting uv[3] modifies MTFace.uv[1][0] instead of MTFace.uv[3]
The 'Show Sliders' option for DopeSheet and Graph Editors now works again. When this option is enabled (it is disabled by default), a slider (or combobox) is shown beside the mute/lock toggles for F-Curves. Editing the slider will result in a new keyframe being added on the current frame.
So, for all the (ex)-Maya animators out there, you can now animate in a channelbox-like way. :)
Also in this commit:
* Fixed some warnings in modifier.c from previous commits there
* Fixed some refresh problems with DopeSheet channel list (which were only obvious after adding back the sliders)
* Removed the old/unrestored and nasty slider code used in the past by the Action Editor only.
* Reviewed subtypes, making them more specific and adding new ones.
* Subtypes now have an associated type of units (length, area, volume,
mass, rotation, time, velocity, acceleration). These are not used
yet anywhere.
* Centralized code that decides the name of array items based on
subtype (XYZ, RGB), was copied in 3 places.
* RNA_def_float etc functions still need to be update, will do this
later together with another change.
