- Fixed a bug that the sound when changed in the properties panel was not updated.
- Added the option to make a sound mono while adding a sound strip.
- Added the option to make a sound mono in the sequencer properties panel.

In response to feedback from plasmasolutions that having this option "always on"
caused some examples of more destructive errors, this commit introduces an attempt
at seeking a better balance between doing what people expect when casually importing
clips, and not clobbering existing timelines.
Specifically:
1) When there's nothing in the scene, the option will default to being enabled.
This accounts for users doing this for the first time with no strips
2) When there are already sequence strips, the option will default to being disabled.
In this case, changing the framerate could be dangerous. Hopefully this new check
is sufficient.
3) There's always still the option for users to control what exactly happens. However,
there have been reports that this cannot always be seen/set?
When importing new movie strips into the sequencer, the scene's frame rate
will now be adjusted to match that of the movie being loaded by default.
To get the old behaviour (e.g. if importing a clip into an existing project),
disable the "Use Movie Framerate" option in the file browser when selecting
the strip.
This change is designed to solve the common problem that users trying to import
video clips will forget to adjust the frame rate before importing the clip, thus
causing the sound and video strips to be out of sync (as the sound strip ends
up longer/shorter than the video stream).
It's needed especially for the menu entry "recover auto save" where you'd like to have the files sorted by date most of the time but it could be useful in other places too.
There should be no functional change in other areas, I just added the missing parameter (FILE_SORT_ALPHA).
Was a request from @sebastian_k at #BCon13, so at least one guy needs it ;)

Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D1476
- rename WITH_EXTERNAL_AUDASPACE to WITH_SYSTEM_AUDASPACE.
- rename C/PYAUDASPACE to AUDASPACE_C/PY
- simplifying cmake defines and includes.
- fixing include paths and enabling WITH_SYSTEM_AUDASPACE for windows.
- fixing scons building.
- other minor build system fixes.
Is pretty much what it says :)
Easy subtitles for everyone!
Supports size, positioning,
a cheap shadow effect (probably will need more work),
and autocentering on x axis.
Now you can go wild with long spanish names
in your soap opera videos.
Will probably be refined as days go by,
but at least it's now ready for testing.
Placeholder images, means that the image sequence reserves a range for
images, displaying black while we wait for them to finish rendering.
This is meant as a feature to not break the layout of gooseberry
sequence edits while we wait for those frames to arrive.

Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

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
This fixes the placement code of new files added to the sequencer timeline.
The old code tried to guess the strip position from the current mouse
pointer position.
Annoying effect: if you add a new strip using the menu, especially if the
file editor pops up, the strip ends up in nowheres land (most likely around
track 40, frame -200).
New behaviour: strips are always placed at cfra, which is the
sequencer equivalent to the 3D cursor (and that's where new objects in
3D editing end up).
Bonus feature: we try our best to guess the right track by finding the
nearest strip by type.
The patch was inspired by
[#32766] VSE: Add Strip on Current Frame
Thanks to venomgfx for the idea!
- add sequence.update(data=False) function.
- made some sequence vars editable.
- correct some comments.
also rename rna function sequence.getStripElem() --> strip_elem_from_frame()
The issue was caused by SEQ_BEGIN macro modifying sequence's depth
which ruined transformation routines. Used own DFS instead which
doesn't modify sequences.
Also corrected some typos in api and comments.
* Remove all code for Texture and Sequencer plugin system, this never worked in 2.5x / 2.6x and is therefore not needed anymore.
* DNA structures are kept, all read/writefile code is gone.
