This patch adds a new "Use Alpha" option on image empties to avoid ordering
issue of reference images.
If ordering is not important, "Use Alpha" can be enabled to provide
transparency and alpha blending support.
Support for showing images in background/foreground and only in perspective/orthographic view.
Internally the depth of the image is modified in the fragment shader by setting `gl_FragDepth` explicitly.
The UI still needs some work to improve usability, see D3863 for details.
Currently there is one duplicated function, not sure how to best deduplicate it yet. (`is_image_empty_visible`)

This adds an ImageUser to such empties with all the typical settings.

- Make gettext stuff draw-time. so switching between languages
can happens without restart now.
- Added option to translate visible interface (menus, buttons, labels)
and tooltips. Now it's possible to have english UI and localized tooltips.
- Clean-up sources, do not use gettext stuff for things which can be
collected with RNA.
- Fix issues with windows 64bit and ru_RU locale on my desktop
(it was codepage issue).
- Added operator "Get Messages" which generates new text block with
with all strings collected from RNA.
- Changed script for updating blender.pot so now it appends
messages collected from rna to automatically gathered messages.
To update .pot you have to re-generate messages.txt using "Get Messages"
operator and then run update_pot script.
- Clean up old translation stuff which wasn't used and most probably
wouldn't be used.
- Return back "International Fonts" option, so if it's disabled, no
gettext lookups happens on draw.
- Merged read_homefile function back. No need in splitting it.
TODO:
- Custom fonts and font size.
Current font isn't nice at least for russian locale, it's
difficult to read it.
- Put references to messages.txt so gettext can merge translation when
name/description of some property changes.

This adds support for empties to reference images and draw in the 3D view.
Modifications from the original patch.
- use an empty draw 'image' type
- use image aspect ratio for non-square-pixels
- when the image is not found, still draw the frame.

scripts/startup/ is now the only auto-loading script dir which gives some speedup for blender loading too.
~/.blender/2.56/scripts/startup works for auto-loading scripts too.
