When disk cache path is same as blend file path, with Unix-like systems
blend file can be overwritten by disk cache directory.
This was caused by `BLI_delete(path, false, true)` when path points to
file. On Windows this would result in error message and file would not
be deleted. On Linux, file is deleted and then overwritten with cache
directory.
To further minimize chance of removing blend file, append disk cache
path with `_seq_cache` suffix.

In e1f3996d74, logic for changing metastrip start and end frame based
on contained strips was removed. This was done intentionally and
incorrect functionality wasn't noticed as drawing code reflected
seemingly correct state.
Original code was mostly correct, because meta strip doesn't store its
internal start and end points. This code was restored with minor
modifications so function `SEQ_time_update_sequence()` is fully self
contained as it is used not only by transform operator.
In addition, drawing glitches that happen when meta content is outside
of meta boundaries were fixed. These glitches were not caused by
e1f3996d74.

This iterator design provides means to create simple and flexible API
to query and work with collection of strips. It should be used in cases
when conditions require multiple stages of recursive iteration of all
strips or similar complex scenarios.
Quick API overview:
Basic queries are standalone functions that return SeqCollection
Use SEQ_collection_create() and SEQ_collection_free() to construct
such query functions.
Use these functions to get strips of known conditions, like selected
strips, movie strips, muted strips and so on.
Use SEQ_reference_query() when querying strips with relation to
some reference strip. For example to get its effects, strips that have
same type or use same input file and so on.
These aren't standalone functions because often you need to query strips
relative to each strip in collection.
Use SEQ_collection_expand() to query strips relative to each strip
in collection. These will be merged to original collection.
Use SEQ_collection_merge() to merge 2 collections
To iterate collection elements use macro SEQ_ITERATOR_FOREACH()
This API is quite specific, but I think it is best suited for tasks
that are usualy solved in sequencer codebase.
Old sequencer iterator has been completely removed.
SEQ_ALL_BEGIN and SEQ_ALL_END macros re-use new iterator design.
As initial use for this iterator select_grouped_effect_link()
function has been rewritten. It was not only broken, but also it used
DNA fields to aid iterating strips.

In some cases, users start video editing work from General template,
where Filmic view transform is chosen by default. Currently, this causes
issue when working with sRGB footage, which are not properly decoded
into linear working space and final render looks miscolored.
When adding first strip, check it's colorspace and if it corresponds to
colorspace for byte images, ensure that view transform is set to
default value, which is Standard.

When frame is rendered to file, bilinear interpolation on scaled images
caused blurred edges.
This is fixed by not doing interpolation with pixels outside of source
buffer.
Such fix doesn't cover cropped images which are currently cropped by
filling area of image with black transparent color, because image buffer
has bigger size than visible image area.
This is fixed by offsetting range used in previous fix by amount, that
would correspond to crop distance. Because of this, image area doesn't
even need to be filled with transparency.

When cache is strip is invalidated, movie file was reloaded even if it
isn't necessary. This caused significant performance issues when strip
is being dragged under playhead.
This was caused by calling `SEQ_relations_sequence_free_anim()` and it
was introduced as fix for T36124.
When it is necessary to reload file because another API holds reference
to ImBuf, do this explicitly besides cache invalidation.
In `rna_ColorManagedColorspaceSettings_reload_update()` this was already

GOP size and quality are adjusted for h264 codec.
These new values are based on result of benchmark on 9 random files:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nOyUGjoVWUyhQ2y2lAd8VtFfyaY1wQNGj1krCCNbk7Y/edit?usp=sharing
Reducing quality to 50 reduces proxy filesize by about 2x on average
and has no significant impact on decoding performance.
Increasing GOP size from 2 to 10 also reduces proxy filesize 2x-3x
while scrubbing is only about 8% slower. It is still around 100FPS
with 1920x1080 media.
This is unfortunately about 50% slower than MJPEG, but this can be
improved with `fastdecode` tune applied to libx264 encoder
Quite surprisingly h264 codec presets had little influence on proxy
building performance as well as proxy filesize. So far it looks that
FFmpeg does initialize encoder in different way then Blender.
This applies mot only for presets but for tune and profile libx264
setting.
Once this issue is resolved, performance of proxies may be optimized
further.

When adding images with operator, image file path is split into filename
and directory passed to load function in name and path fields of
SeqLoadData struct. This is because when loading images directory
and filenames are split.
RNA API function passes whole path in path filed.
Apart from loading API inconsistency, this causes initial image loading
to fail, so strip resolution is not set. Also name field of SeqLoadData
should be reserved for strip name.
Let operator code concatenate and split filepath when needed so loading
API can be consistent with RNA API and also between strip types.

When transition effect is placed between 2 adjustment layer strips,
only first adjustment layer was rendered by effect.
Limit timeline_frame range to adjustment strip frame range.
This timeline configuration is technically invalid, because strips
should overlap when using transition effect. This was never restricted
and instead of producing no image, transition effect used first and
last frame of source strip. Many users got used to this "feature" so
I think it make sense to fix this case so it behaves like other strip
types.

separately to strip creation itself. This is not ideal, but I think
it's acceptable.
- Some functions and variables were refactored so the code reads
better.

- Operator errors are reported per-strip. Previously they were not
