Add panels with overlay settings for strips and preview and overlay
enable/disable button.
Entries from the View menus moved to the overlay panels, which will
simplify cluttered View menus.
Additional options have been added:
- Strip Name
- Strip Source(ex. path)
- Strip Duration
So users can now select what info they need to see on the strips. When
No text is displayed, waveforms are drawn in full height.

This adds a Box option to the Text strip's style properties, plus related Box Margin value:
{F9208309}
When enabled the text is placed on top of a solid-filled rectangle of a chosen color, as shown below:
{F9208324}
When the box option is disabled the text strip works the same as it does now. When the box option is enabled the meaning of the Shadow option changes to provide a drop-shadow on the rectangle (and not on the text itself). The latter made more sense to me.
The box margin is specified as a fraction of the image width. The offset of the drop-down box shadow is fixed to a specific fraction of the image width as well.
I tested this feature on a movie of a couple of minutes containing dozens of text strips (all with box background), edge cases like multi-line strings and text overlapping the image edges.

This patch changes behavior of strip transform and crop feature.
Purpose of this change is to allow display arbitrary portion of input
image, simplify user interface and workflow.
Offset and Crop values in old files are converted in versioning.
Offset animation is also converted. Crop animation and animation of
crop or offset enable properties is not taken into account
Changes in behavior and interface:
- If image is added to timeline it is scaled to fit inside preview area
while maintaining aspect ratio. Image is centered. This is considered
as a baseline for further transformation.
- Scale and rotation was added, so it is possible to transform image at
it's original resolution.
- Crop will not affect image transformation (does not move image).
- Values of Crop and Transform Position are in pixels, these values are
corrected if preview is fraction of project resolution.
- Transform and Mirror panel has been removed and new Transform panel
and Crop panel is moved to Adjust panel. Mirror is now part of new
Transform panel.
Technical changes:
- Preprocessing stage must work on duplicated image, because original is
cached. Previously Crop and Offset could run at once and required only
one duplication of image. This is not the case with new algorithms, so
duplication on demand is implemented. Transformation can read original
image and will output new image that is safe to modify. It should be
possible to add crop step to transform algorithm, so that Crop won't
require previous duplication though.
- Use Crop and Use Translation checkboxes were removed. Individual
values are compared to default values to check if image needs to be
processed. In case of transform this will be done also if resolution of
source.

In this mode the preview image is always using the most of the preview
area space: it is scaled to fit, preserving aspect ratio. This makes it
possible to always have maximum of the preview region even after resize
of other areas.
This mode is enabled by default, is available in the View -> Zoom to Fit
menu. It is enabled when View All (Home key) is used, and is disabled
when manual navigation ([panning, zooming) is performed.
There is no versioning code, which means existing files will open as-is,
but new projects will have this option enabled.

This patch adjusts a number of text panel elements:
- The text entry widget has become larger in order to distinguish it from the strip name.
- Wrap has been moved up under the text, since this doesn't relate to bounding box.
- Alignment X/Y has been renamed to Anchor X/Y, since this is the achor point of the text point, and not the Alignment of the text.
- Offset and Crop was completely missing from the Text strip panel, these has been added.

Follow-up to previous commit.
Some examples:
{F8473507} {F8473508} {F8473509} {F8473510}
For more screenshots, please see D7430.
We use column or row headings here to bring more structure, and to give
the eye visual anchors which aid eye-scanning. The left-aligned
checkboxes likewise help with this. And we keep the adherence to the
center line, so the alignment matches up between the various buttons and
controls.
* Changes the property split percentage from 50/50% to 40/60%. This is
needed to give enough space for the checkboxes. But in most cases this
looks better anyway - see Transform panel. In some cases it simply
fills out the available space more efficently.
* Fix various hacks where we previously used manually defined splits.
When we did this, the alignment was never quite right, and the layout
code was a mess.
* Adds column headings to many places where a list of checkboxes all
share a common purpose or leading text.
* Add checkbox + value configurations various places where a checkbox
only serves to enable the value slider
* Removes most uses of grid flow layout. The grid flow layouts combine
poorly with column headings, and also they would mess alignment up
badly. The grid flow layouts also often made buttons and controls jump
around on the screen if you would just resize editors slightly,
causing visual confusion, making users lose their place. The logic for
at what time the list of items would re-flow was often flawed, jumping
to multiple columns too fast or too late - and frankly, the grid flow
layouts would often just look bad.

Patch by Nathan Lovato, with edits
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D5542
As pointed out by user @Peter Fog (tintwotin):
The current name for this property is wrong for two reasons:
- Because it makes incorrect use of the term 'window' (in Blender these are called 'editors')
- 'Lock Time' is incorrect, because it has nothing to do with locking the time at all. In Blender, the time is already locked and always the same across editors, no matter what. This property only syncs the visible range, which is something quite different.
For this reason, this is changed to 'Sync Visible Range' instead. I also added a tooltip, which was completely missing.
This patch also adds this property to the Sequencer, where it was missing.
