I made this patch to declared a python list without converting all elements in python object (too slow) or use a CListValue which required CValue items (too expensive in memory). In the case of a big list of points like a collision contacts points list, to use a CListValue we must implement a new class based on CValue for 3D vector to create a python proxy even if mathutils do it perfectly, we must also convert all points (frequently ~100 points) when fill the CListValue even if the list is not used (in the case of the collision callback). The easy way is to use callback (it doesn't worth to do an inheritance) which convert the item in PyObject only during an acces.
5 callbacks are used :
- Check if the list is valid = allow acces (like PyObjectPlus.invalid)
- Get the list size
- Get an item in the list by index.
- Get an item name in the list by index (used for operator `list["name"]`)
- Set an item in the list at the index position.
All of these callback take as first argument the client instance.
Why do we use a void * for the client instance ? : In KX_PythonInitTypes.cpp we have to initialize each python inherited class, if we use a template (the only other way) we must add this class each time we use a new type with in KX_PythonInitTypes.cpp
To check if the list can be accessed from python by the user, we check if the python proxy, which is the `m_base` member, is still a valid proxy like in PyObjectPlus. But we can use a callback for more control of user access (e.g a list of collision point invalidate a frame later, in this case no real python owner).
This python list is easily defined with :
```
CPythonCallBackList(
void *client, // The client instance
PyObject *base, // The python instance which owned this list, used to know if the list is valid (like in KX_PythonSeq)
bool (*checkValid)(void *), // A callback to check if this list is till valid (optional)
int (*getSize)(void *), // A callback to get size
PyObject *(*getItem)(void *, int), // A callback to get an item
const char *(*getItemName)(void *, int), // A callback to get an item name (optional) use for acces by string key
bool (*setItem)(void *, int, PyObject *) // A callback to set an item (optional)
)
```
To show its usecase i replaced the odd KX_PythonSeq, it modify KX_Gameobject.sensors/controllers/actuators, SCA_IController.sensors/actuators and BL_ArmatureObject.constraints/channels.
Example : {F245193}, See message in console, press R to erase the object and see invalid proxy error message.

The expression module now uses an EXP prefix and it follows a
distribution similar to blender.
Additionally the hash function in EXP_HashedPtr.h was simplified and the
files EXP_C-Api.h &.EXP_C-Api.cpp were deleted because were unused.

A new function (RunPythonCallBackList) to call all python functions
contained in a python list was developed.
This function has:
- first argument is the python list of callbacks
- second argument is a python list of arguments
- third argument is the minimum quantity of arguments
- forth argument is the maximum quantity of arguments
It improves flexibility and supports *args.

blender_add_lib now takes a separate include argument to suppress warnings in system includes (mostly ffmpeg & python).
also only build wm_apple.c on apple+carbon configuration.
globbing vs explicit is discussed here.

Practical implications are:
- developers need to keep CMakeLists.txt files up to date.
- Users wont get strange linking errors if they build after a file is added, since CMake detects CMakeLists.txt is modified and automatically reconfigure.

Notes:
* Game and sequencer RNA, and sequencer header are now out of date
a bit after changes in trunk.
* I didn't know how to port these bugfixes, most likely they are
not needed anymore.
* Fix "duplicate strip" always increase the user count for ipo.
* IPO pinning on sequencer strips was lost during Undo.
