Now texture storage of images is defined by the alpha mode of the image. The
downside of this is that there can be artifacts near alpha edges where pixels
with zero alpha bleed in. It also adds more code complexity since image textures
are no longer all stored the same way.
This changes allows us to keep using sRGB texture formats, which have edge
darkening when stored with premultiplied alpha. Game engines seems to generally
do the same thing, and we want to be compatible with them.
Cycles now uses the color space on the image datablock, and uses OpenColorIO
to convert to scene linear as needed. Byte images do not take extra memory,
they are compressed in scene linear + sRGB transfer function which in common
cases is a no-op.
Eevee and workbench were changed to work similar. Float images are stored as
scene linear. Byte images are compressed as scene linear + sRGB and stored in
a GL_SRGB8_ALPHA8 texture. From the GLSL shader side this means they are read
as scene linear, simplifying the code and taking advantage of hardware support.
Further, OpenGL image textures are now all stored with premultiplied alpha.
Eevee texture sampling looks a little different now because interpolation
happens premultiplied and in scene linear space.
Overlays and grease pencil work in sRGB space so those now have an extra
conversion to sRGB after reading from image textures. This is not particularly
elegant but as long as engines use different conventions, one or the other
needs to do conversion.
This change breaks compatibility for cases where multiple image texture nodes
were using the same image with different color space node settings. However it
gives more predictable behavior for baking and texture painting if save, load
and image editing operations have a single color space to handle.

This way float and multilayer images can now be packed without data loss. This
removes the as_png option and always uses the appropriate file format depending
on the image contents.
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.

This is often invalid, outdated or misleading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.

It is possible to have same image used multiple times at different frames,
which means we can not free it's buffers without any guard. From quick tests
this seems to be doing what it is supposed to.
Need more testing and port this to 2.79.
This gives us 9 flags available again for properties (we had none anymore),
and also makes things slightly cleaner.
To simplify (and make more clear the differences between mere properties
and function parameters), also added RNA_def_parameter_flags function (and
its clear counterpart), to be used instead of RNA_def_property_flag for
function parameters.
This patch is also a big cleanup (some RNA function definitions were
still using 'prop' PropertyRNA pointer, etc.).
And yes, am aware this will be annoying for all branches, but we really need
to get new flags available for properties (will need at least one for override, etc.).

Errors are caught & reported by our GL debug callback. This gives us way more useful information than sporadic calls to glGetError.
I removed almost all use of glGetError, including our own GPU_ASSERT_NO_GL_ERRORS and GPU_CHECK_ERRORS_AROUND macros.
Still used in rna_Image_gl_load because it passes unvalidated input to OpenGL functions.
Still used in gpu_state_print_fl_ex as an exception handling hack -- will rewrite this soon.
The optimism embodied by this commit will not prevent OpenGL errors. We need to analyze what would cause GL to fail at certain points and proactively intercept these failures. Or guarantee they can't happen.
This patch supports "Image or Movie" and "Environment map" types of world texture for the viewport.
It supports:
- "View", "AngMap" and "Equirectangular" types of mapping.
- Different types of texture blending (according to BI world render).
- Same color blending as when it lacked textures (but render via glsl).

Screenshot ignored errors, some render code printed 'Saved' without checking for failure.
note: errno is now cleared from IMB_saveiff so all callers don't need to.
Previously it would save packed file(s),
which would ignore the image.filepath,
making it impossible to set the destination.
Add image.packed_files[...].save() so you can save packed files if its needed.

Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

It is still possible to free a bit more memory by detecting buildin images
which are not used by shaders, but that's not going to improve memory usage
that much to bother about this now.
Such change brings peak memory usage from 4.1GB to 3.4GB when rendering
01_01_01_D layout scene from the Gooseberry project. Mainly because of
freeing memory used by rather huge environment map in the viewport.
