* Separated bookmarks managed by the OS (System Bookmarks) and bookmarks managed by Blender (Bookmarks).
* Added user pref to hide (or show) system bookmarks to allow users doing a video tutorial for example to hide their private system bookmarks
This feature should help especially MAC users who reported excessively long list of bookmarks which were added to Blender.
further fixes for 'RECENT' files panel in filebrowser:
* Also add the recent folder at the head if it is not yet in the list
* since we now insert at the head, we need to remove the skipping of the first entries if there are too many. Now correctly leaving the last elements unwritten.
* Another consequence of inserting at the head is that we don't want to reverse the list in the recent panel anymore - got rid of the corresponding code.
Not all file formats/calls are supported yet. It will be expended.
Please from now on use BLI_fopen, BLI_* for file manipulations.
For non-windows systems BLI_fopen just calls fopen.
For Windows, the utf-8 string is translated to utf-16 string in order to call UTF version of the function.
Small fix for recent folders in filebrowser, didn't save correctly when too many folders in the list (more than the currently allowed 10), now skips the oldest entries.
Reported on IRC.
- ignore MSVC warnings when FREE_WINDOWS is defined to quiet warnings.
- the CMake flags were not being set correctly making blender have weirdo colors (no -funsigned-char).
* rename BLI_gethome to BLI_getDefaultDocumentFolder to better reflect how this function is used
* replaced BLI_gethome with getenv("HOME") on Linux and Mac where it retrieves location of bookmarks that are inserted as system bookmarks. BLI_gethome was a thin wrapper around these and in this case the user's home directory is what is actually wanted.

The normal convention in Windows is to show drive letters in uppercase, as in "C:\", not "c:\" as
seen in the File window.
Although Windows file paths are generally case insensitive, drive letters have been shown as uppercase since the early
DOS days. Seeing them in lowercase in the Blender File window looks a bit strange.
Former implementation was to populate the "system" paths with the mounted paths. The issue is that OSX mounts some paths that are of no use such as /home (The home dirs reside in /Users).
When compiled with 10.5 SDK, it retrieves the folders you have in the finder and OSX standard open/save dialog.
When compiled with older SDKs, it assumes these folders are the default ones (home, Desktop, Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies).
* Attempt to better filter file systems, it displayed all kinds
of devices which are not interesting to the user. The trick
used is now to use mounts starting with "/dev".
* Add / at the end to properly highlight directories in the list.
* Fix for non-linux unixes, this now falls back to showing / again.
