This commit introduces bicubic bump map capabilities for the viewport for OpenGL 3.0+ capable GPUs.
To use the functionality change the bump mapping method to "best quality"
Previous "best quality" setting becomes "medium quality" now.
For non OpenGL 3.0 GPUs this becomes the same as "medium quality"
Also:
* added tooltip descriptions to the bump method settings.
* modified the shader to ommit extraneous matrix multiplications for matrices already provided by OpenGL.
Bicubic shader by Morten Mikkelsen. Thanks a lot!
Oh...and FIRST!
The problem was in fact in the changes made to blend_ramp() func at rev42164. The checks on green pointer (if(g) {...) were checking the existance of a valid value (i.e. if input color was rgb or only shades of grey in r pointer), but as we get now a full float[3] pointer, this test is no more possible. And doing if(r_col[1]) {... was wrong, as it only broke things in case green was 0.0 (which was the case with the generated glare color of bug report).
So, just removed all those tests!
- remove unneeded type check from convert grease pencil operator.
- correct some error prints & use __func__.
- make copy_libblock take an ID* argument rather than void*.
so path manipulation functions dont run multiple times on the same path in the case of sequence strips where the one directory is used as the base for many images.
report by Mitchell Stokes over IRC, but probably one of the reason people have been asking
to expose the Game Settings material panel in the Render engine as well.
- converting nurbs to mesh was casting the material to unsigned char.
- subsurf was casting to char, then int -> short in a loop.
- have material functions take & return shorts.
Summary:
========
The idea here is to move the texface options into the material panel.

1 - Some of the legacy problems 2.49 and 2.5x has with the texface system:
==========================================================================
1.1) Shadow, Bilboard and Halo are mutual exclusive (in the code), yet you can
select a face to be more than one mode.
1.2) Sort only works for blend Alpha yet it's an option regardless of the
Transparency Blend you pick.
1.3) Shared doesn't affect anything in BGE.
1.4) ObColor only works for Text objects (old bitmap texts) when using Texture
Face Materials. (not address yet, I so far ignored obcolor)
2 - Notes:
============
2.1) Now "Use Face Textures" in material Option panel will work in Multitexture
even if there is no texture channel.
2.2) In FaceTexture mode it will use TexFace all the time, even if you don't
check the "Use Texture Face" option in the UI. It's a matter of decision, since
the code for either way is there. I decided by the solution that makes the
creation of a material fast - in this mode the user doesn't need to mess with
textures or this "Use Texture Face" option at all. I'm not strong in my opinion
here. But I think if we don't have this then what is the point of the Texture
Face mode?
2.3) I kept references for tface only when we need the image, UV or the tiling
setting. It should help later when/if we split the Image and UV layers from the
tface struct (Campbell and Brecht proposal).
3 - Changes in a Nutshell:
==========================
3.1) "Texture Face" panel (in the Mesh/Object Data panel) no longer exists. Those settings are all part of the material properties, visible when Game Render is set.
3.2) "Texture Face" Shading mode (in the Render panel) is now called “Single Texture”, it needs a material for special settings (e.g. Billboard, Alpha Sort, …).
3.3) New options in the Material Panel
* Shadeless option in the Material panel is now supported for all three Shading modes.
* Physics is now toggleable, this is the old Collision option.
* Two Side (on) is now called Back Culling (off).
* Alpha Sort is one of the Alpha options, together (and mutually exclusive) to Alpha Blend, Alpha Clip, Add and Opaque (i.e. solid).
* Shadow, Billboard and Halo are grouped in the “Face Orientation” property.
* "Face Textures" and "Face Textures Alpha" (under Options) can be used for all but GLSL shading mode (to be supported in GLSL eventually).
* The backend in the game engine is still the same as before. The only changes are in the interface and in the way you need to think your materials. The bottomline is: It’s no longer possible to share materials between faces that do not share the same game properties.

Mike Pan for the design discussions, and testing along the whole development process.
Vitor Balbio for the first hands-on code with the interface changes. That helped me a lot to push me into work on that.
Benoit Bolsee and Brecht van Lommel for patch review (* no one reviewed the whole patch, or the latest iteractions, so I still hold liability for any problems).
Blender artists that gave feedback and helped testing the patch.

Note for branch builders: Enabling Blender Player may cause linker errors.
This would previously break because begin/end functions for each tree type still have some checks of the ntree->execdata pointer in them, despite the intended use of execdata instances instead of trees themselves for execution data storage. This is an artifact of the old execution system that required these checks to be made in the functions to avoid multiple execution of top-level trees. Now these functions take an additional argument, so group nodes can prevent them from setting and checking the nodetree->execdata pointers.
This branch adds mostly organizational improvements to the node system by renaming the node folders and files. A couple of internal features have been added too.

- The object ID was being passed to the data_delete_material_index_id() from object_remove_material_slot(), rather then the object data. (so the material slot fix wouldnt run in that case).
- add support for fixing text object materials too.
create a new parameter for materials.pop() to not remove material slot.
this way the mat_nr is still the old one.
for the default behaviour we now have material remapping (i.e. data_delete_material_index_id(id, index)).
This new function is brought from the material_slot remove function.
