BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.

Does the following changes visible to users:
* Use panels and sub-panels for more structured & logical grouping
* Re-organized options more logically than before (see images in D4148)
* Use flow layout (single column by default).

* Change size of Preferences window to suit new layout.
* Move keymap related options from "Input" into own section.
* Own, left-bottom aligned region for Save Preferences button.
* Adjustments of names, tooltips & icons.
* Move buttons from header into the main region (except editor switch).
* Hide Preferences header when opened in temporary window.
* Use full area width for header.
* Don't use slider but regular number widget for UI scale.
* Gray out animation player path option if player isn't "Custom"
Internal changes:
* Rearrange RNA properties to match changed UI structure.
* Introduces new "EXECUTE" region type, see reasoning in D3982.

Implements the first changes for T54115:
* Rename "User Preferences" window to "Settings" in the UI.
We'll likely put workspace settings in there, separate from the global
user settings. System settings should become separate from user
settings in future to allow settings for specific hardware.
* Add sidebar region for navigation (scrolls independently).
Addresses space problems, so we can add more categories as needed now.
* Increase size of Settings window to compensate new navigation bar.
* Group sections into User Preferences and System.
Icons for section groups by Andrzej Ambroz. Thanks!
* Bumps subversion for file compatibility.

I also added categories for future work, but commented them out.
We may also want to redesign contents of each section now.

This refactors loading of key configurations to clear and refill existing
ones, rather than adding a new one and then removing the old one.
This fixes broken loading of non-default configurations after recent changes,
and prepares for future changes to make it possible to dynamically change
key configurations based on user preferences.
This is to solve an issue where a blend file could be compressed
unbeknownst to the artist. This happened in the following situtation:
- Artist edits an uncompressed blend file.
- Some script saves a compressed blendfile to a separate location.
- When the artist saves the file (s)he is editing (File>Save, or Ctrl+S),
it was silently compressed.
