This commit adds an operator, "Show Drivers Editor", to the RMB menu when
clicking on properties.
As per T54653, this will open a new Graph Editor instance in a new/separate
window (much like how the User Preferences show up in a popup window now),
and will configure all the relevant panels so that you can see and edit the
driver settings immediately without doing a lot of the view configuration steps
that were previously needed.
When doing so on a property that is driven, the driver/fcurve for that property
will be made active in the editor, ready for you to start editing its settings
without having to hunt it down again first.
Experimental support for using popovers like menus,
use this when the user hold the mouse down
(previously this did nothing).
This means turning frequently accessed menu items into
popovers doesn't add more clicks to the existing use case.
This avoids having to store the tool definition in the operator
properties (on redraw).
Now just set the name, note this means we can't show the keymap in the
tool-tip anymore. This will eventually be shown in the status bar.
Scroll-bars used to draw in a little extra space in the editor, causing
buttons to jump a bit when they appeared/disappeared. Now they draw on
top of the buttons, just small enough to avoid bigger overlaps. Followup commits
will do further adjustments.
With this we can get rid of a hack that was calling the (often Python
defined) panel definition - the panel 'draw' callback - twice.
Note: This rely on the property having a pre-defined default.
Also, be aware that trying to multi-drag and multi-ui-edit is not working
at the moment (T54976).
With changes by Campbell Barton.

Currently used in the topbar for redo and paint options.
== Main Features/Changes for Users
* Add horizontal bar at top of all non-temp windows, consisting out of two horizontal sub-bars.
* Upper sub-bar contains global menus (File, Render, etc.), tabs for workspaces and scene selector.
* Lower sub-bar contains object mode selector, screen-layout and render-layer selector. Later operator and/or tool settings will be placed here.
* Individual sections of the topbar are individually scrollable.
* Workspace tabs can be double- or ctrl-clicked for renaming and contain 'x' icon for deleting.
* Top-bar should scale nicely with DPI.
* The lower half of the top-bar can be hided by dragging the lower top-bar edge up. Better hiding options are planned (e.g. hide in fullscreen modes).
* Info editors at the top of the window and using the full window width with be replaced by the top-bar.
* In fullscreen modes, no more info editor is added on top, the top-bar replaces it.
== Technical Features/Changes
* Adds initial support for global areas
A global area is part of the window, not part of the regular screen-layout.
I've added a macro iterator to iterate over both, global and screen-layout level areas. When iterating over areas, from now on developers should always consider if they have to include global areas.
* Adds a TOPBAR editor type
The editor type is hidden in the UI editor type menu.
* Adds a variation of the ID template to display IDs as tab buttons (template_ID_tabs in BPY)
* Does various changes to RNA button creation code to improve their appearance in the horizontal top-bar.
* Adds support for dynamically sized regions. That is, regions that scale automatically to the layout bounds.
The code for this is currently a big hack (it's based on drawing the UI multiple times). This should definitely be improved.
* Adds a template for displaying operator properties optimized for the top-bar. This will probably change a lot still and is in fact disabled in code.
Since the final top-bar design depends a lot on other 2.8 designs (mainly tool-system and workspaces), we decided to not show the operator or tool settings in the top-bar for now. That means most of the lower sub-bar is empty for the time being.
NOTE: Top-bar or global area data is not written to files or SDNA. They are simply added to the window when opening Blender or reading a file. This allows us doing changes to the top-bar without having to care for compatibility.
== ToDo's
It's a bit hard to predict all the ToDo's here are the known main ones:
* Add options for the new active-tool system and for operator redo to the topbar.
* Automatically hide the top-bar in fullscreen modes.
* General visual polish.
* Top-bar drag & drop support (WIP in temp-tab_drag_drop).
* Improve dynamic regions (should also fix some layout glitches).
* Make internal terminology consistent.
* Enable topbar file writing once design is more advanced.
* Address TODO's and XXX's in code :)
Thanks @brecht for the review! And @sergey for the complaining ;)

Folders removed entirely:
* //extern/recastnavigation
* //intern/decklink
* //intern/moto
* //source/blender/editors/space_logic
* //source/blenderplayer
* //source/gameengine
This includes DNA data and any reference to the BGE code in Blender itself.
We are bumping the subversion.
Pending tasks:
* Tile/clamp code in image editor draw code.
* Viewport drawing code (so much of this will go away because of BI removal
that we can wait until then to remove this.
- Read-only access can often use EvaluationContext.object_mode
- Write access to go to WorkSpace.object_mode.
- Some TODO's remain (marked as "TODO/OBMODE")
- Add-ons will need updating
(context.active_object.mode -> context.workspace.object_mode)
- There will be small/medium issues that still need resolving
this does work on a basic level though.
See D3037
Move timer and tip out of button code,
now the only requests a tooltip,
passing a creation callback to run.
Needed for manipulators in 2.8,
also helps de-duplicate logic - since we never want
multiple tool-tips showing at once.
