* Remove Stars feature. This was a quite minimalistic feature and there are
better alternatives with more control (particles for example).
Removal discussed during BCon13 developer meeting and already years before, time to do it..

Issue was caused by couple of circumstances:
- Normal Map node requires tesselated faces to compute tangent space
- All temporary meshes needed for Cycles export were adding to G.main
- Undo pushes would temporary set meshes tessfaces to NULL
- Moving node will cause undo push and tree re-evaluate fr preview
All this leads to threading conflict between preview render and undo
system.
Solved it in way that all temporary meshes are adding to that exact
Main which was passed to Cycles via BlendData. This required couple
of mechanic changes like adding extra parameter to *_add() functions
and adding some *_ex() functions to make it possible RNA adds objects
to Main passed to new() RNA function.
This was tricky to pass Main to RNA function and IMO that's not so
nice to pass main to function, so ended up with such decision:
- Object.to_mesh() will add temp mesh to G.main
- Added Main.meshes.new_from_object() which does the same as to_mesh,
but adds temporary mesh to specified Main.
So now all temporary meshes needed for preview render would be added
to preview_main which does not conflict with undo pushes.
Viewport render shall not be an issue because object sync happens from
main thread in this case.
It could be some issues with final render, but that's not so much
likely to happen, so shall be fine.
Thanks to Brecht for review!

This makes debug output easier to read - event debug prints would flood output too much before.
For convenience:
--debug-all turns all debug flags on (works as --debug did before).
also removed some redundant whitespace in debug prints and prefix some prints with __func__ to give some context.
this means use of deprecated struct members gives a warning.
- makesdna.c preprocessor skips this.
- DNA_DEPRECATED_ALLOW is used so readfile.c can do versioning without warnings.
- this exposes some use of deprecated struct members, will deal with this after.

handle/key
This used to be a weird per-curve setting which would happen to get
applied/work correctly if handles were set to "auto", and was a source
of constant confusion for both old and new animators. The main effect
of this handle-type/option was really to just ensure that auto-handles
stayed horizontal, instead of tilting as the keys were moved.
This commit simply changes this from a per-curve to per
keyframe/handle setting.
