FCurve Noise Modifer now has an extra float property which offsets the noise in time.
This is useful for creating follow through in procedurally animated noise.
For example, if you've used a noise modifier on a parent bone to add additional movement,
a quick and easy way to add overlapping motion is to create copies of that modifier on
its children, and then offset the time those curves play at. See this in action at:

Fix for second issue in the UI for this FModifier, where the "x" would not be
shown for order=1 where DPI >= 88 and Text AA is off, as the label sizes used
were too small.
incorrectly
* Plus signs were used between factors instead of multiplication. These now use
the times symbol
* Fixed alignment problem for last factor being more spread out
--debug
--debug-ffmpeg
--debug-python
--debug-events
--debug-wm
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.
In fact, most "UI special cases" are not well translated, currently. :/ This affects especially the "Properties" panels. This commit should address problems in Graph editors, and 3D View (but probably not yet all of them). Yet it already adds more than 100 new messages (and fixes translated drawing of more).
Also done some style edits…
- spelling - turns out we had tessellation spelt wrong all over.
- use \directive for doxy (not @directive)
- remove BLI_sparsemap.h - was from bmesh merge IIRC but entire file commented and not used.
* Get rid of subrow/subcol variable names in the C UI code as well, use sub instead. This is shorter and sufficient.
* Minor layout alignment fixes.
* Greying out in NLA editor was doing nothing for "strip_time" property.
Causing a flurry of refresh file prompts post-commit,
Confusing local diffs and causing merge conflicts,
Stating the obvious; redundant and useless...

I was going to include this change along with support for moving
FModifiers around on the stack, though that looks like it might be a
bit more involved than first though. To be dealt with later...
Following on from my commit to introduce frame ranges for FModifiers,
those frame ranges can now have blend in/out values. By setting a
blendin or blendout value, you're specifying the number of frames for
the modifier's "full influence" to take effect or fade out relative to
the start/end frames.
The "full influence" above needs a little clarification.
When the "use influence" setting is enabled, "full influence" is taken
from the "influence" slider (a new setting). Otherwise, it uses 1.0
(i.e. unmodified influence, same as old behaviour before the
introduction of influence controls). The influence slider basically
says how much the modifier's effects are allowed to contribute to the
final result.

Notes:
- This opt-in "Use Influence" approach is really forced upon us
because there are heaps of old files for which we cannot easily
version patch without spending some effort going through all the data
in the file, hunting out the F-Modifiers.
- interpf() seems to use a backwards order compared to everything else
Using this feature, it is now possible to for example have different
noise-profiles for different parts of a curve, which makes it possible
to do animate camera shake for example.
Or perhaps, for having greater control of mixing and matching
different parts of F-Modifier effects, such as combining several
generator modifiers to get multi-case functions for instance.
