Applying the effect of bone parent is much more complicated than
simple matrix multiplication because of the various flags like
Inherit Scale. Thus it is reasonable to provide access to this
math from Python for complicated rest pose related manipulations.
The simple case of this is handled by Object.convert_space, so
the new method is only needed for complex tasks.

B-Bone shape is a non-trivial computation, so access to
the results would be useful for Python scripts working with
B-Bones, e.g. rig generation.
This exposes both final segment matrices, and the tangent
vectors computed from the custom handle bones.
Since the handle tangents use the axis+roll orientation math
of edit bones, add matrix conversion static methods to Bone.

- Wasn't clear which functions handle edit-bones.
- Mixed both ebone and edit_bone in names.
- Didn't use ED_armature_* prefix for public API.
See P655 to apply to branches.
This gives us 9 flags available again for properties (we had none anymore),
and also makes things slightly cleaner.
To simplify (and make more clear the differences between mere properties
and function parameters), also added RNA_def_parameter_flags function (and
its clear counterpart), to be used instead of RNA_def_property_flag for
function parameters.
This patch is also a big cleanup (some RNA function definitions were
still using 'prop' PropertyRNA pointer, etc.).
And yes, am aware this will be annoying for all branches, but we really need
to get new flags available for properties (will need at least one for override, etc.).

Note about long lines: I did not touch to two pieces of code (because I don’t see any way to keep a nicely formated, compact code, with shorter lines):
* The node types definitions into rna_nodetree_types.h
* The vgroup name functions into rna_particle.c
from Josh Wedlake (joshwedlake), who provided a reference script used to apply changes in ED_rollBoneToVector().
- Obvious bug fixed where Z-Up didnt work right.
- More align axis options to Recalculate Roll operator: X/Y/Z/View Axis & Negate.
- Axis Only option, ignore the axis direction, use shortest rotation to align bones.
ED_rollBoneToVector() changes:
- would give bad roll when the axis wasn't normalized or perpendicular to the bone.
some callers accounted for this but not all.
- option to align to the axis but not the direction.
from Dan Eicher (dna)
Basically just wraps distfactor_to_bone() and passes the correct head/tail depending on which bone type it's called
from.
note:
renamed envelope() --> evaluate_envelope()
* option to roll the delta of the arm rig.
* fix to copy metarig type
* renamed EditBone.align() --> EditBone.align_roll()
* Added EditBone.align_orientation(other)
* Added bone.vector: same as (bone.tail - bone.head)
