This patch adds ability to set up colors and size of background
(transparency) checkerboard pattern in viewport and 2d editors. No new
backgrounds, only changing colors in existing ones.
This is not the background of the viewport, it is a transparency
checkerboard that is turned on only in render mode, when the
transparency mode is on. And also in 2D-editors, (image, sequencer,
etc).

This patch implements dumping images from cache to HDD.
The main goal of this system is to provide a means to achieve consistent playback speed mainly for strips that are not possible to preview in real time.
How to use:
Disk cache has own settings in user preferences for path to storage, size limit and compression level.
To use disk cache, you need to check `Use Disk Cache` box, set `Disk Cache Directory`, `Disk Cache Limit` and save or open existing .blend file.
By default sequencer output will be cached only. Manual setting is possible in cache panel.
Uses:
- Replacement or alternative for proxies. Disk cache will work with any strip type, supports float images as well.
- Storage for strip thumbnails.
- Less RAM needs to be allocated for preview cache
How it works:
Disk cache is extension of RAM cache. Every image, that is stored or deleted in RAM will be stored or deleted on HDD as well. Images can be compressed to save space and for use on slower drives. Compressed images are slower to write and read though.
Images are stored in bulk of 100 rendered frames per one file. This is to overcome slow file access time for large amount of files. Drawback is, that if one frame needs to be redrawn, all 100 frames are deleted.

We have the problem that it's very hard to see which animation channels are selected. This is a very small tweak to make it more obvious, using the same text highlight color as the Outliner.
Really it should be overhauled to be more exactly like the Outliner, but this is just a quick fix to make it reasonably visible.

The NLA Editor sidebar is currently out of step with the rest of Blender, and in particular the Sequencer, which offers similar features and functionality. This patch makes a number of UI layout changes to make it fit in.
- Remove Active Track panel, since the track names can just be edited in the source list on the left
- Rejiggered the categories to be more understandable. 'Strip' includes settings for the current strip, and 'Edited Action' includes settings for the action that is currently being edited
- Use single column split layout
- Use name + mute toggle configuration like in the Sequencer
- Fix an issue with the theme, where the sidebar background was too dark, breaking the bright -> dark hierarchical logic
- Use sub-panels for animated strip properties controls

Blender supports locking vertex groups to prevent changes to the
weights. However, as mentioned in comments for D3837, it is hard
to use this because there is no interface for locking in 3D View.
This adds a red shade to bones that are associated with a locked
weight group during weight paint mode, as the first step to adding
such interface. The next step is adding a pie menu for lock/unlock.

The user preference for viewport multi_sampling is replaced by single

This adds the ID-Filters visible on append/link to the settings the file
browser remembers, potentially storing them in the Preferences.
Artists in the studio here requested this. They typically have to set up
the same or similar settings every time, so this saves them from that.
The default was changed with an initial implementation of the feature.
With the feedback from animators, having a behavior which affects curves
outside of a changing range is not convenient for professional animators
working on high quality character animation. On the other hand, automatic
smoothing is better for casual animation of object motion.
This change adds an ability to change the default via User Preferences.

This makes it so that some display related properties of the file
browser state are remembered in the Preferences. Otherwise, users often
end up doing the same set up work over and over again, so this is a
nice way to save users some work.
It's typical for other file browsers to remember their state too, so
another benefit is having a more conventional behavior, meeting user
expectations better.
Some points:
* We currently store: Window size, display type, thumbnail size,
enabled details-columns, sort options, "Show Hidden" option. More can
be added easily.
* No changes are stored to the Preferences if "Auto-save Preferences"
is disabled. This is how Quick Favorites behave too and it's a
reasonable way to make this behavior optional.
* The Preferences are only saved to permanent memory upon closing
Blender, following existing convention of Preferences and Quick
Favorites.
* If settings weren't actually changed, Preference saving is skipped.
* Only temporary file browsers save their state (invoked through
actions like open or save), not regular file browser editors. These
are usually used for different purposes and workflows.
* Removes "Show Thumbnails" Preferences option. It would need some
special handling, possibly introducing bugs. For users, this
simplifies behavior and should make things more predictable.
Left in DNA data in case we decide to bring it back.

This is a general redesign of the File Browser GUI and interaction
methods. For screenshots, check patch D5601.
Main changes in short:
* File Browser as floating window
* New layout of regions
* Popovers for view and filter options
* Vertical list view with interactive column header
* New and updated icons
* Keymap consistency fixes
* Many tweaks and fixes to the drawing of views
----
General:
* The file browser now opens as temporary floating window. It closes on
Esc. The header is hidden then.
* When the file browser is opened as regular editor, the header remains
visible.
* All file browser regions are now defined in Python (the button
layout).
* Adjusted related operator UI names.
Keymap:
Keymap is now consistent with other list-based views in Blender, such as
the Outliner.
* Left click to select, double-click to open
* Right-click context menus
* Shift-click to fill selection
* Ctrl-click to extend selection
Operator options:
These previously overlapped with the source list, which caused numerous
issues with resizing and presenting many settings in a small panel area.
It was also generally inconsistent with Blender.
* Moved to new sidebar, which can easily be shown or hidden using a
prominent Options toggle.
* IO operators have new layouts to match this new sidebar, using
sub-panels. This will have to be committed separately (Add-on
repository).
* If operators want to show the options by default, they have the option
to do so (see `WM_FILESEL_SHOW_PROPS`, `hide_props_region`), otherwise
they are hidden by default.
General Layout:
The layout has been changed to be simpler, more standard, and fits
better in with Blender 2.8.
* More conventional layout (file path at top, file name at the bottom,
execute/cancel buttons in bottom right).
* Use of popovers to group controls, and allow for more descriptive
naming.
* Search box is always live now, just like Outliner.
Views:
* Date Modified column combines both date and time, also uses user
friendly strings for recent dates (i.e. "Yesterday", "Today").
* Details columns (file size, modification date/time) are now toggleable
for all display types, they are not hardcoded per display type.
* File sizes now show as B, KB, MB, ... rather than B, KiB, MiB, … They
are now also calculated using base 10 of course.
* Option to sort in inverse order.
Vertical List View:
* This view now used a much simpler single vertical list with columns
for information.
* Users can click on the headers of these columns to order by that
category, and click again to reverse the ordering.
Icons:
* Updated icons by Jendrzych, with better centering.
* Files and folders have new icons in Icon view.
* Both files and folders have reworked superimposed icons that show
users the file/folder type.
* 3D file documents correctly use the 3d file icon, which was unused
previously.
* Workspaces now show their icon on Link/Append - also when listed in
the Outliner.
Minor Python-API breakage:
* `bpy.types.FileSelectParams.display_type`: `LIST_SHORT` and
`LIST_LONG` are replaced by `LIST_VERTICAL` and `LIST_HORIZONTAL`.
Removes the feature where directories would automatically be created if
they are entered into the file path text button, but don't exist. We
were not sure if users use it enough to keep it. We can definitely bring
it back.

Adds a toggle to the filter menu for outliner synced selection. Enabled
by default, this ensures selection is synced between objects, bones, and
sequences. An active outliner element theme color is added to indicate
which element is active.
Synced selection is controlled on the operator level. Each operator
that modifies selection for objects, bones, sequences, or outliner
elements needs to call the respective ED_outliner_select_sync_from..
function to tag outliners to be synced.
Syncing is done lazily on outliner draw.
Added because the current default is too fast
for painting with tablets, see D5385.
Turntable and trackball have different settings because
turn-table uses an angle-per-pixel, where as trackball
values are relative to the view-port size so a scale is used.
The sensitivity is scaled by the pixel size so hi-dpi views don't rotate faster.
Simplify preferences by removing the ability to load them from
either the startup.blend or userpref.blend.
Also simplifies updating default preferences by moving
them to a struct definition.
Use full saturation (since some intensity is lost when blending),
Set blend back to 0.5, made color look dull which isn't good when
some of the colors are similar (faded orange/yellow).
