This caused the file browser to open in c:\windows with the fonts
folder selected instead of opening c:\windows\fonts\ and listing
the fonts.

This patch gives new Windows users a better default preference for fonts folder

If a subfolder was specified which didn't exist, logic would fallback
to get_path_user (instead of get_path_environment).
Now always use the from the environment variable if it's set and exists.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

This is often invalid, outdated or misleading

It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.

The goal here is to make app templates usable for default templates
that we can ship with Blender. These only have a custom startup.blend
currently and so are quite limited compared to app templates that fully
customize Blender.
But still it seems like the same kind of concept where we should be
sharing the code and UI. It is useful to be able to save a startup.blend
per template, and I can imagine some scripting being useful in the future
as well.
Changes made:
* File > New and Ctrl+N now list the templates, replacing a separate
Application Templates menu that was not as easy to discover.
* File menu now shows name of active template above Save Startup File
and Load Factory Settings to indicate these are saved/loaded per
template.
* The "Default" template was renamed to "General".
* Workspaces can now be added from any of the template startup.blend
files when clicking the (+) button in the topbar.
* User preferences are now fully shared between app templates, unless
the template includes a custom userpref.blend. I think this will be
useful in general, not all app templates need their own keymaps for
example.
* Previously Save User Preferences would save the current app template
and then Blender would start using that template by default. I've
disabled this, to me it seems it was unintentional, or at least not
clear at all that saving user preferences also makes the current

This caused too much trouble, also it's possible users run with
'release' in their CWD causing issues.
Developers can symlink "release/" to "bin/2.79".
There were two issues here actually:
* The hack to allow running Blender directly from the source directory
would just check for a 'release' directory, without actually ensuring it
is release dir from blender source tree, and not some other random
folder.
* GHOST_getSystemDir returns nothing for portable installations, now
we'll then check directly in the blender binary dir in that case.
This fix is more critical in 2.8 branch, where that system path is used
to retrieve new '3D' icons...
This adds the ability to switch between different application-configurations
without interfering with Blender's normal operation.
This commit doesn't include any templates,
so its mostly to allow collaboration for the Blender 101 project
and other custom configurations.
Application templates can be installed & selected from the file menu.
Other details:
- The `bl_app_template_utils` module handles template activation
(similar to `addon_utils`).
- The `bl_app_override` module is a general module
to assist scripts overriding parts of Blender in reversible way.

Python name could include ABI-flags after the version,
since checking for all combinations of ABI flags can expand into many possibilities,
take the executable name from the build system.
- BLI_current_working_dir's return value must be checked, since it may fail.
- BLI_current_working_dir now behaves like getcwd, where a too-small target will return failure.
- avoid buffer overrun with BLI_path_cwd, by taking a maxlen arg.
