From blenderstorm idea# 169 this patch changes the swatch button to display a border showing the keyed status colour
of the colour.
I chose to go with showing the keyed colour in a border around the swatch, insetting the size of the swatch colour to
prevent altering the sizing of the swatch. An un-keyed swatch is not altered visually, only a keyed colour swatch is
changed to have the keyed colour around the outside of the swatch button.
I think a border of 3 pixels is sufficient to make the keyed colour visible without taking too much of the colour area
away.

Now drivers cannot be added to properties that have been animated (and visa versa). Previously, the check was only checking if there was a keyframe, not whether the property was animated.
- BKE_add_image_extension now sets the extension rather then appending. (no more image.jpg.tga)
- py/rna functions which have no return value now raise an error if a non-None value is returned.
- added back the red-alert flag so buttons can have a red highlight if somethings wrong.
- rna buttons with units set now use the units base value for snapping.
- bone head/tail radius could be set negative.
matt: removed a check in ui_is_but_unit() which made angle buttons return false, what was this for?
from Lorenzo Tozzi (oni_niubbo) with minor edits.
--- from the tracker
The present situation is this: due to bug#22274, during editing, UTF chars are stripped from buttons with a unit associated
(length, angles, etc.).
Example: if the button displays '90°' and you click on it with LMB, the editing string will become '90'.
The problem arises if you use microns: '34µm' becomes '34' that blender interprets as 34 meters. So clicking on a button
and hitting enter won't confirm the previous value, but will change it (very badly also).
Of course nobody is using microns in blender, but the problem will arise when we will implement areas and option 'Separate
Units' will be enabled. The value '2m² 3cm²' will become '2m' during editing.
This patch solves the problem rewriting the string in a smarter way than just stripping the UTF chars: the unit is translated
from unit->name_short ('µm') to unit->name_alt ('um'). So clicking on '34µm' the editing string will become
'34um'.
--- end
note: rather then allowing empty strings in name_alt field I made it so if the unit system was the default one a NULL name_alt will just strip the string, since its the default its not needed.

The patch renames and moves gl_round_box, gl_round_box_shade and gl_round_box_vertical_shade to UI_interface.h, so the extern usages are not needed anymore.
- user input gets non utf8 chars stripped all text input other then file paths.
- python has the same limitations, it will raise an error on non utf8 strings except for paths use unicode escape literals so its possible to deal with saving to these file paths from python.
- new string functions
BLI_utf8_invalid_byte(str, len) returns the first invalid utf8 byte or -1 on on success.
BLI_utf8_invalid_strip(str, len) strips non utf-8 chars.
The UserPrefs Default was never getting initialised correctly, so new scenes would not get the default AutoKeying mode set correctly ("add but off"). I remembered fixing some problems like this before, but it seems that fix only fixed old files vs the user-prefs for new scenes.
eg:
row.prop_search_self(scene, "active", "keying_sets", text="")
...becomes
row.prop_search(scene.keying_sets, "active", scene, "keying_sets", text="")
This is more flexible since it works for other UI functions too.
layout.prop_search_self(), the same as layout.prop_search() except it uses an attribute of the collection.
A number of collections have an 'active' member which couldnt be used with prop_search() and meant we had a mix of active properties being in collections and directly added as properties.
Changed some names when applying.
- render was use_render, changed to show_viewport so call it show_render
- texface shadow was use_shadow_face, changed to use_shadow_cast since this only affects casting.
- transp was alpha_mode, changed to blend_type since its similar to other overlay blending where this property name is used.
- re-arranged UI in a way that gave far too much vert scrolling.
- was added all over for simple things like making text="", layout engine should handle this.
- Ton and Brecht are ok with removing this now. Ton would like to work on the layout engine to make it better support these cases.
- remove brush array for each Paint struct, just use a single brush pointer.
- removed rna function based template filtering.
- filter brushes using a flag on the brush and the pointer poll function.
- set the brushes using a new operator WM_OT_context_set_id().
TODO
- remake startup.blend, currently brush groupings are lost.
- rewrite WM_OT_context_set_id() to use rna introspection.
