Make the UI API more consistent and reduce confusion with some naming.
mainly:
- API function calls
- enum values
some internal static functions have been left for now
Decouple color picker hsv data from the whole block. Basically, each
color picker now takes care of creating its own color picker role. For
this bug report it can be seen that probably HSV is not the best space
for gamma/lift/gain workflow because it is bounded at 1.0 but this is a
separate issue.
* Only use last key for pies if it hasn't been released already
* Confirm threshold is now measured as distance after regular threshold.
zero disables.
* Only display the confirm threshold if there's a valid direction (mouse
is after threshold).
* Calculate confirm threshold taking recentering into account
This commit adds a confirm threshold property to pie menus.
Basically, this will confirm the pie menu automatically when
the distance from the center of the pie exceeds that threshold without
a need to release the pie button.
The confirm threshold will only work if it is larger than the pie
threshold.
The confirmation actually occur when the mouse stops moving, to
allow multiple pie menus to be better linked together, (see below)
This functionality also facilitates the ability for chained pie menus by
dragging. Basically, a pie menu item can be a call_menu_pie operator and
the new pie menu will still use the original pie menu release event for
confirmation. This should allow for quick, gesture based navigation in
pie menu hierarchies (going back in the hierarchy is still not supported
though)
There will be a demonstration pie in the official add-on soon
Issue, after a lot of blood sweat and tears, was found in
ui_but_update_from_old_block, where we restore a button to its old
values when possible. The problem here is that a1 and a2 are not really
meant to store temporary variables, because they tend to get overriden
and palette selection is one of those temporary states.
Instead, we now store the position of each button in the palette in a2
and pointer to the palette in the customdata pointer of each button and
use that to test if it's active. The positions won't change when
clicking so we are guaranteed that the old button won't override the new
one with garbage.
It's still hacky but it is better than testing button types when copying
old values.
If user drags away from initial position, menu changes to drag style and
returning to that position won't remake the menu click-style. Allows to
use the threshold indicator to cancel the pie.
Make pie menu item placement touch the radius from the internal side of
the buttons rather than placing on the center on the cirtcle. This
allows us to get rid of the separate visual angle property, also allows
for tighter placement of pies with a smaller radius without easily
overlapping.
Also pie menu title now always appears above the threshold indicator.
This commit merges the code in the pie-menu branch.
As per decisions taken the last few days, there are no pie menus
included and there will be an official add-on including overrides of
some keys with pie menus. However, people will now be able to use the
new code in python.

Thanks:
Campbell Barton, Dalai Felinto and Ton Roosendaal for the code review
and design comments
Jonathan Williamson, Pawel Lyczkowski, Pablo Vazquez among others for
suggestions during the development.
Special Thanks to Sean Olson, for his support, suggestions, testing and
merciless bugging so that I would finish the pie menu code. Without him
we wouldn't be here. Also to the rest of the developers of the original
python add-on, Patrick Moore and Dan Eicher and finally to Matt Ebb, who
did the research and first implementation and whose code I used to get
started.
When menus are clamped to the window bounds,
its was possible not to have an active menu-item under the mouse,
Making Ctrl+S,Enter not completely reliable.
Changes needed to support this are:
- menu item is activated on popup menus
(to avoid relying on mouse-over)
- moving mouse away from menu items only de-activates when over a new menu-item.
- Mouse clicks are ignored if they are not directly over the menu item.
Rename UI_init_userdef_factory to BLO_update_defaults_userpref_blend
This closely matches BLO_update_defaults_startup_blend so makes sense for them to be together.
Yep, at last it's here!
There are a few minor issues remaining but development can go on in
master after discussion at blender institute.
For full list of features see:

Thanks to Sergey and Campbell for the extensive review and to the
countless artists that have given their input and reported issues during
development.
This is needed for popups to chance state once activated,
currently it makes use of operators `check` callback, after values are modified,
as the file selector does already.
This change introduces a new checkbox to deactivate the sensors, controllers and/or actuators. It is useful during the development phase to avoid delete sensors, controllers or actuators if you want to test something new.
NOC: The wiki page is being updated (the images mostly), but the feature is already in the 2.71 release log.

This is a standard Hue - Saturation - Lightness model
(see for instance entry on wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV)
Note though the difference between HSV and HSL saturation, which are not the same.
The advantage of having this color selection scheme is that artists can select
shades and tints of a color easily by using the lightness slider. Also colors
are arranged on (approximated) perceived lightness on the color wheel.
Beware, Old files opened with this preference saved will crash!

On every redraw a single unopened dropdown boxe would translate
and convert every EnumPropertyItem into a string,
then decode every item, and search those items to find the name of the button to draw.
Replace this with a custom menu callback for RNA enums,
tooltips for enums now show too.
COLOR widgets never get created with UI_GRAD_V_ALT values. This is
intended for HSVCUBE color sliders only so reverting this to old value
before it was substituted with a define, which was -1.
There's one case where COLOR buttons get defined with a1 value different
than -1 which is in ui_def_but_rna. There the step value of the RNA
property is used. However, that meant that if step equaled to 9, which
is UI_GRAD_V_ALT value (unlikely) or if UI_GRAD_V_ALT was changed to 10
in future, or we added check for e.g. UI_GRAD_L_ALT which is 10 in HCL
branch, color widget would not get a color selection menu spawned.
- works by defining panel categories, currently restricted to the toolbar.
- no panels define bl_categories yet, so no user visible changes since tabs only show when there are multiple.
- panel pinning is available in rmb menu or alt+lmb.
There is a bunch of internal refactoring going on too:
* No longer use operators to handle these directory and file fields, only makes
things more complicated than they should be.
* Handle autocomplete partial/full match deeper in the UI code
* Directory field still does not keep focus, that's for another time to fix,
you can already do pretty quick keyboard only navigation with the file field.

Code cleanup: replace "LISTLABEL" button type by an "UI_BUT_LIST_ITEM" button flag.
Summary:
Rationals:
I) I was never that happy to have a full button type just to set custom colors to labels inside listitems!
II) If we use (as planned) TEX buttons instead of labels to allow listitems click-rename, I'd like to be able to use listitems' theme color here as well, much easier witha flag than adding yet another button type!

Code cleanup: Move some uiBut->flag to uiBut->drawflag, make those flags anonymous enums.
Summary:
Make some room in but->flag (I did not add another flag, we already have drawflag, which was nearly not used up till now).
Note: I’m not sure whether REDALERT (and perhaps even DISABLED?) should not go to but->drawflag as well...

The widget for the SV gradient was disabling display colorspace transform, but this was not happening for the H slider below, leading to varying H values used to calculate the slider position.
