Levels of detail can be added and modified in the object panel. The object
panel also contains new tools for generating levels of detail, setting up
levels of detail based on object names (useful for importing), and
clearing an object's level of detail settings. This is meant as a game
engine feature, though the level of details settings can be previewed in
the viewport.

There were several issues with how bounding box and texture space
are calculated:
- This was done at the same time as applying modifiers, meaning if
several objects are sharing the same curve datablock, bounding
box and texture space will be calculated multiple times.
Further, allocating bounding box wasn't safe for threading.
- Bounding box and texture space were evaluated after pre-tessellation
modifiers are applied. This means Curve-level data is actually
depends on object data, and it's really bad because different
objects could have different modifiers and this leads to
conflicts (curve's data depends on object evaluation order)
and doesn't behave in a predictable way.
This commit moves bounding box and texture space evaluation from
modifier stack to own utility functions, just like it's was done
for meshes.
This makes curve objects update thread-safe, but gives some
limitations as well. Namely, with such approach it's not so
clear how to preserve the same behavior of texture space:
before this change texture space and bounding box would match
beveled curve as accurate as possible.
Old behavior was nice for quick texturing -- in most cases you
didn't need to modify texture space at all. But texture space
was depending on render/preview settings which could easily lead
to situations, when final result would be far different from
preview one.
Now we're using CV points coordinates and their radius to approximate
the bounding box. This doesn't give the same exact texture space,
but it helps a lot keeping texture space in a nice predictable way.
We could make approximation smarter in the future, but fir now
added operator to match texture space to fully tessellated curve
called "Match Texture Space".

Brief description:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/GSoC-2013/Results#Curve_Texture_Space
Removed USE_HIDDEN_PREVIEW from source code as it is now deprecated.
The feature was introduced during project mango to quickly hide previews, now that the previews are hidden by default this feature has no need.
Inside the DNA the flag is still visible in comment, this way no one will reuse that value as it could have some side effects

Also fix material slot index not being properly initialized to 1, this got clamped

This is a addtion to the dynamic fly mode.
It behaves as the first person navigation system available in most 3d world games nowadays.
You can alternate between the old mode (Fly) and the new mode (Walk) in User Preferences > Inputs
Manual:

Shortcuts:
----------
WASD (hold) - Move forward/backward and straft left/right
QE (hold) - Move up and down
Tab - Alternate between Walk and Fly modes
Shift (hold) - Speed up movement
Alt (hold) - Slow down movement
Space or MMB - Teleport
V - Jump
+/- or mouse wheel - speed increase/decrease speed for this Blender session
User Preferences Options:
-------------------------
Navigation Mode - fly/walk navigation systems (fly is the old, walk is the new, next options are for walk mode only)
Gravity - alternate between free navigation and walk with gravity modes
Mouse Sensitivity - sensitivity factor to mouse influence to look around
Teleport Duration - how long the teleport lasts
Camera Height - camera height to use in gravity mode
Jump Height - maximum jump speed in m/s
Move Speed - base move speed in m/s
Boost Factor - multiplication factor when running or going slow (1/boost)
Development Notes:
------------------
* The initial code was based on view3d_fly.c.
* The NDoF code was not touched, so it most likely is not working.
Pending Issues:
---------------
* Draw in the UI the shortcut options, and current values (e.g., Mode: Fly/Walk)
(we need a proper API for that)
* OSX seems to present issues if we re-center the mouse every time. We implemented a workaround for that, but a real fix would be welcome.

Summary:
Now it's possible to assign an image to plane tracks
in clip editor. This image is only used for display
in clip editor and this image is being warped into
the plane track rectangle.
Main purpose of this is to get early feedback about
how good image warping matches the footage, before
clip goes to the compositor.
Pretty much straightforward change: just compute
homography from undeformed normalized frame corner
coordinates (unity square) to plane marker corners
and apply this matrix to opengl stack.
Still could improve behavior when perspective
plane transform is degenerate, but that's not so
much critical for now i'd say.

- When existing faces are available use their UV values
- When no faces are connected to an edge - generate UV's
Also add option to stretch U/V to bounds.
This allows you to choose between subdivide edges, collapse and both. Being able to
only collapse edges can be useful to simplify meshes with accidentally introducing
more detail.

For now this provides the following outputs:
- Color
- Light Vector
- Distance
- Shadow
- Visibility Factor
Note: Color output is multiplied by the lamp energy. Multiplication of
color*max(dot(light_vector,normal_vector),0)*shadow*visibility_factor
produces the exact same result as the Lambert shader.
Many thanks to Brecht for code review and discussion!
Notes:
* Did not touch to addons, that's up to the authors. ;)
* Did not removed any "name" field below lists. We might want to do this in some cases (less UI clutter), but probably not always, so will let maintainers of the related areas decide here.
* Remove Stars feature. This was a quite minimalistic feature and there are
better alternatives with more control (particles for example).
Removal discussed during BCon13 developer meeting and already years before, time to do it..

* Can optionally warp a segment (sets min/max default so it acts as old warp did).
* Can rotate the warp axis (old warp tool was limited to horizontal).
* Remove "Edge" post processing effect and the corresponding render layer.
Since we have freestyle, this is not needed anymore and was a very simple effect anyway (Zbuffer filter effect, could be added to the compositor if really needed again).
