* Smoke got it's own thread loop now and can be esc'ed now
* Apple OpenMP bug workaround until they fix the GCC (couldn't test this one)
* removing some "static" keyword to prevent crashing on frame display
* should also fix problems with wavelet.noise crashing (Bug #20710)
Fluid:
* sleep delay has been reduced to be more responsive
* Fluid progress is displayed in percent using the mouse cursor (like smoke)
Fix# 20043 & 20392
The issue is that OSX lib does not implement TLS (Thread Local Storage), so libgomp uses pthread functions to read/write thread specific vars.
But this implementation is currently (gcc 4.2) buggy : the write function is called only at lib start (in main thread), and the var is undefined for background thread.
The workaround is to perform this gomp_tls_key var write at beginning of background threads that use openMP. (Currently: render & fluidsim)
Did a lot of cleaning Object operator poll functions to check if the object's linked
or not. For this, added the function ED_operator_object_active_editable() as
opposed to ED_operator_object_active()
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:

Editors Modules
* render/ module added in editors, moved the preview render code there and
also shading related operators.
* physics/ module made more consistent with other modules. renaming files,
making a single physics_ops.c for operators and keymaps. Also move all
particle related operators here now.
* space_buttons/ now should have only operators relevant to the buttons
specificially.
Updates & Notifiers
* Material/Texture/World/Lamp can now be passed to DAG_id_flush_update,
which will go back to a callback in editors. Eventually these should
be in the depsgraph itself, but for now this gives a unified call for
doing updates.
* GLSL materials are now refreshed on changes. There's still various
cases missing,
* Preview icons now hook into this system, solving various update cases
that were missed before.
* Also fixes issue in my last commit, where some preview would not render,
problem is avoided in the new system.
Icon Rendering
* On systems with support for non-power of two textures, an OpenGL texture
is now used instead of glDrawPixels. This avoids problems with icons get
clipped on region borders. On my Linux desktop, this gives an 1.1x speedup,
and on my Mac laptop a 2.3x speedup overall in redrawing the full window,
with the default setup. The glDrawPixels implementation on Mac seems to
have a lot of overhread.
* Preview icons are now drawn using proper premul alpha, and never faded so
you can see them clearly.
* Also tried to fix issue with texture node preview rendering, globals can't
be used with threads reliably.
