Simplify preferences by removing the ability to load them from
either the startup.blend or userpref.blend.
Also simplifies updating default preferences by moving
them to a struct definition.
We don't want to use flow control like `break` statement into the basic
`FOREACH_MAIN_ID` macro, as this is a nested loop.
When refined behavior is needed (like breaking whole iteration, or just
skipping to next ID type), FOREACH_MAIN_LISTBASE and
FOREACH_MAIN_LISTBASE_ID macros should be used instead.
Based on D4382 by @campbellbarton
(Other potential solution, using flow control macros: D4384).
Convention was not to but after discussion on 918941483f we agree its
best to change the convention.
Names now mostly follow RNA.
Some exceptions:
- Use 'nodetrees' instead of 'nodegroups'
since the struct is called NodeTree.
- Use 'gpencils' instead of 'grease_pencil'
since 'gpencil' is a common abbreviation in the C code.
Other exceptions:
- Leave 'wm' as it's a list of one.
- Leave 'ipo' as is for versioning.
Yes, we do can undo an ID deletion now.
However, this requires extra care in UI 'remapping' to new IDs step
(when undoing, we do not fully reload the UI from saved .blend).
Otherwise, new UI (i.e. one from saved .blend file) might reference
IDs that where freed in old bmain (the one before the undo), we cannot
use those to get ID name then, that would be a nasty use-after-free!
To prevent this, we generate a GSet of all valid ID pointers at that
time (i.e. those found in both old and new Main's), and ensure any ID
we try to remap by its name is in that GSet. Otherwise, there is no
possible remapping, just return NULL.
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.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading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.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.

Do not see why flags from loaded file should be skipped when we do not
load UI, this is not related to UI...
Think we can keep flags from file in both cases, should this raise some
other issue we'll just have to fine tune masked flags in each case
separately.

This is a bug experienced by animators in the Blender Studio that developers
have been trying to fix for a /long/ time.
What happens is that partial file writing extracts the needed datablocks from
the main list of datablocks into a smaller one. Afterwards they are added back
to the main list, but in some cases not exactly in the same order.
There is file path remapping code that depends on the datablocks being in
exactly the same order as before, and when this was not the case filepaths
would get swapped between datablocks
The reason datablocks are not restored in the same order is because the sorting
of datablocks by name is a) case insensitive and b) undefined if there are
multiple datablocks with the same name from different libraries. This should
be made well defined, but the fix in this commit is simpler.
The way animators ran into this bug is that they use the Copy Attributes addon
a lot, which has as the first item in the menu Copy Selection to Buffer. In
some cases this would be clicked accidentally when menu is near the edge of the
window, breaking the library paths which would only be noticed a much later on
file save and reload.
The way this bug was finally tracked down is that it was suspected that the
undo system was the cause, and so Bastien added library validation for undo.
When Hjalti then did undo and noticed the error, he remembered accidentally
clicking Copy Selection to Buffer just before, and we could finally reproduce
the bug.

These can now be acessed from the File > New, Ctrl+N, or the splash screen.
Since these are application templates, users can save a separate startup.blend
for each. User preferences are shared between these templates though.
This also fixes some issues in the default startup.blend (triangulated cube..).
