This way it is possible to have viewport simplification bumped all the way up,
making viewport really responsive but still have final render to use highest
subdivision possible.

There are several ways to end up with an object with skin modifier, but no
skin data on the geometry. So we need an operator to add it by hands.
Also tweaked a bit UI of this modifier.
We can now scale from 32px up to 256px (default has been upgraded to 128px).
Thumbnails are now generated as 'large', i.e. 256px.
Previews are scaled up if necessary, unlike icons (for folders or files without preview images).
Note that .blend thumbnails themselves remain in 128px for now (they are embeded in .blend files,
not quite sure we want to make them four times bigger...).
Patch by DMS (Yaron Dames), with final edits by myself.

Rationale - this panel also enables metadata that get written on files.
Also moved draw_stamp property in the panel - to make it clearer it only
controls the drawing, not individual metadata.
Basically, blender adds a few metadata fields to images when
we render an image. Those metadata can now be viewed in the
image editor.
Also, made sure metadata are available when we write imbufs
to disc with "Save As". There may be more cases here that need
fixing, but this means that loading an image with metadata
will now properly preserve them in blender.
As reported by zeffi, the "show_points" option was not working in master.
It probably broke recently, after some changes meant that the point sizes
weren't geting set prior to drawing these points anymore. Since this was
originally added as a debugging tool (though it is now somewhat redundant
due to the stroke editing functionality, which uses/exposes the same points),
this option wasn't really that important. I have decided to add back a toggle
for this to the UI though, since it can be used for some interesting effects...
New Check option "Show Shadow Box" in shadow panel of sun lamp to get
feedback about which objects project shadows.

Logical predicates AndUP1D and OrUP1D were instantiated even with an empty
list of unary 1D predicates, causing an exception in the constructors of
the logical predicate classes.
This is a regression made in b408d8af31.
To help make it more convenient to edit stashed actions, Shift-Tab
(i.e. holding down the Shift key, which "tabbing" into tweakmode as
usual to edit the action referenced by the active NLA strip) now flags
the NLA Track that the strip occupies as being "solo" too.
This allows you to use the NLA to select a stashed action, then Shift-Tab
to start editing it without any other actions in the NLA stack interfering.
Like the "Next/Previous Layer" tools in the Action Editor, this is designed
to help with checking on stashed actions.
There are a few things here which are not so nice:
* Position of proportional edit circle is not centered on data
(difficult to predict positions here since those are completely custom,
will probably be positioned at center of area later instead)
* Result is flushed to curve handles only at the end of the transform,
so if people have the graph editor open they will see handles lagging behind.
Our current keymap doesn't give us enough room to make such changes in
the event system. To fix small issues caused by this, we would need to do
drastic changes in Blender's keymaps and internal handling. It was worth
a try, but it didn't work.
I can write down a more descriptive statement in a few days, but for now
I need a break of this stuff.

* Pivot Mode
Viewport
* Cameras
* Plane
* Volume
Compositor
* View Switch Node
* Image Node Multi-View OpenEXR support

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

After looking into this more carefully, I've found that we do in fact need a dedicate
operator to add some custom logic when trying to unlink an action from the editor/datablocks.
Specifically, this new operator does the following:
1) When in Tweak Mode, it shouldn't be possible to unlink the active action,
or else, everything turns to custard.
2) If the Action doesn't have any other users, the user should at least get
a warning that it is going to get lost.
3) We need a convenient way to exit Tweak Mode from the Action Editor
4) If none of the above apply, we can just unlink normally
This commit implements this for the Action Editor, with stubs for the NLA Editor too.
Those will be fixed next.

Short description:
With this we can distinguish between holding and tabbing a key. Useful
is this if we want to assign to operators to a single shortcut. If two
operators are assigned to one shortcut, we call this a sticky key.
More info is accessible through the design task and the diff.

that pushed me forward to get this done

A big "Thank You" for you all!
It turned out that the constantly changing width of the datablock selector
made it a pain to use these to quickly toggle between different actions,
as the buttons would keep jumping around, thus leading to errors when
quickly toggling between actions. This way doesn't look quite as great,
but should be more usable.
