Patch implements better way to control playback speed than it is
possible to do with speed effect. Speed factor property can be set in
Time panel.
There are 2 layers of control:
Option to retime movie to match scene FPS rate.
Custom speed factor to control playback rate.
Since playback rate is strip property, it is now possible to manipulate
strip as normal one even if it is retimed.
To facilitate manipulation, some functions need to consider speed factor
and apply necessary corrections to strip offset or strip start. These
corrections may need to be float numbers, so start and offsets must be
float as well.
Sound strips now use speed factor instead of pitch. This means, that
strips will change length to match usable length. In addition, it is
possible to group movie and sound strip and change speed of meta strip.
When input file is changed, `orig_height` and `orig_width` fields are
reset, which causes thumbnail dimensions to be incorrectly calculated.
Only draw thumbnails if both mentioned fields are non 0.
This patch makes it possible to manipulate strips without need to use
update functions to recalculate effect and meta strips.
Prior to this change function `SEQ_time_update_sequence` had to be used
to update mainly effects and meta strips. This was implemented in a way
that relied on sorted list of strips, which can't always be done and in
rare cases this approach failed.
In case of meta strips, `seqbase` had to be passed and compared with
"active" one to determine whether meta strip should be updated or not.
This is especially weak system that is prone to bugs when functions are
used by python API functions.
Finally, other strip types had startdisp` and `enddisp` fields updated
by this function and a lot of code relied on these fields even if strip
start, length and offsets are available. This is completely
unnecessary.
Implemented changes:
All effects and meta strips are updated when strip handles are moved or
strip is translated, without need to call any update function.
Function `SEQ_time_update_sequence` has been split to
`SEQ_time_update_meta_strip_range` and
`seq_time_update_effects_strip_range`. These functions should be only
used within sequencer module code. Meta update is used for versioning,
which is only reason for it not being declared internally.
Sequence fields `startdisp` and `enddisp` are now only used for
effects to store strip start and end points. These fields should be
used only internally within sequencer module code.
Use function `SEQ_time_*_handle_frame_get` to get strip start and end
points.
To update effects and meta strips with reasonable performance, cache
for "parent" meta strip and attached effects is added to
`SequenceLookup` cache, so it shares invalidation mechanisms.
All caches are populated during single iteration.
There should be no functional changes.

To clarify term still frame: This is portion of strip that displays
static image. This area can exist before or after strip movie content.
Still frames were implemented as strip property, but this was never
displayed in panel. Only way to set still frames was to drag strip
handle with mouse or using python API. This would set either
`seq->*still` or `seq->*ofs` where * stands for `start` or `end`.
When strip had offset, it can't have still frames and vice versa, but
this had to be enforced in RNA functions and everywhere in code where
these fields are set directly. Strip can not have negative offset or
negative number of still frames.
This is not very practical approach and still frames can be simply
implemented as applying negative offset. Merging these offsets would
simplify offset calculations for example in D14962 and could make it
easier to also deprecate usage `seq->*disp` and necessity to call
update functions to recalculate strip boundaries.
For users only functional change is ability to set negative strip offset
using property in side panel.

- Move functions that handle animation to own file - `animation.c`
- Refactor `SEQ_offset_animdata` and `SEQ_free_animdata` functions
- Add function `SEQ_fcurves_by_strip_get` to provide more granular
and explicit way for operators to handle animation
- Remove function `SEQ_dupe_animdata`, do curve duplication explicitly
in operator code, which makes more sense to do. Further this function
was also used for renaming strips which makes no sense.
- Refactor usage of function `SEQ_free_animdata` and remove XXX comment.
Now this functiuon is no longer called when `Sequence` data is freed
implicitly, it is done explicitly in high level function
`SEQ_edit_remove_flagged_sequences`

This patch changes the thumbnails' height used for image and movie
strips by choosing the proper size according to the VSE's text overlay
settings: i.e. thumbnails use the whole strip's height when no overlay
text is displayed; otherwise, some space is left for the overlay.

Split thumbnail job in 2 passes. First pass will render visible images
and second part renders set of "guaranteed" equally spaced images.
When viewing larger amount of strips, it is likely that only 1 or 2
images will be rendered in first pass, while in second pass it is up to
30 images.
This results (seemingly) in 3x better performance, but zooming before
set of guaranteed images is done will be slightly more inaccurate.
During rendering VSE cache is invalidated, so thumbnails would be
removed and thumbnail job would constantly restart.
Even if thumbnails would be preserved, resources should be dedicated
for rendering job.
Free strip `anim` data immediately after rendering. This doesn't affect
rendering performance, because each new loop would have to seek to start
of strip. Also strips are now freed anyway, but after rendering loop
ends.
With SF edit file, thumbnail rendering used around 60GB of memory.
Now it uses few hundreds MB (depends on movie file resolution, codec,
etc.)
Freeing of strips caused UI to be unresponsive for brief period. This
issue is not removed, but is more spread out so it is less noticable.
