Users have been getting a bit confused by the way things are worded/arranged in
the UI. This patch makes a few changes to the UI to make it more clear how to
use subdivision:
- make Subdivide UVs option inactive when adaptive subdivision is enabled as UV
subdivision is currently unsupported
- add "px" to dicing rates in the Geometry Panel
- display the final dicing rate in the modifier
- reworded "Dicing Rate" in the modifier to "Dicing Scale" to make more clear
that this is a multiplier for the scene dicing rate and added a note the the
tooltip pointing the user to that setting in the Geometry Panel

Assigning NULL to scopes' data pointer in 'non-UI readfile' context was terribly wrong for sure,
if we'd really want to reset them here we should freed them first.
But we can rather just ignore them here, those are purely runtime data managed by image editor,
no need to touch them here.
* Stroke editing functions should be in gpencil_edit.c not gpencil_data.c
(the latter is only for handling "CRUD" operations on things like
layers, brushes, and palettes)
* Deduplicate the GP_STROKE_BUFFER_MAX define
Added a way to select all the currently visible strokes that use the same
color as the selected stroke. This can be accessed via the Select Grouped (Shift-G)
operator as an alternative to selecting by layer.
This commit adds optional "pressure" and "strength" arguments to the
stroke.points.add() method. These are given default values of 1.0,
so that old scripts can be ported over to the new API with less effort
while reducing confusion about why auto generated strokes won't appear.
The idea of the change is to avoid queue growing too long
and handle all the operations as quick as possible.
Gives about 3% speedup on one of the barber shots here.
Now we pass streams to Alembic instead of passing the filename string.
That way we can open the stream ourselves with the proper unicode
encoding.
Note that this only applies to Ogawa archive, as HDF5 does not support
streams.

Changes from microdisplacement work broke previous support for subdivision
meshes, sometimes leading to crashes; this makes things work again. Files
that contain "patch" nodes will need to be updated to use meshes instead, as
specifying patches was both inefficient and completely unsupported by the new
subdivision code.
Auto-scale is expected to work just fine now.
Only thing changed now is the pivot point for the scale: it is now
the same as rotation pivot, so scaling happens around weighted median
of the translation tracks. This seems to be what is actually required
for the VFX workflow.
Previously, this extension used the translation compensated image centre
as reference point for rotation measurement and compensation. During
user tests, it turned out that this setup tends to give poor results
with very simple track configurations.
This can be improved by useiing the weighted average of the location
tracks for each frame as pivot point. But there is a technical problem:
the existing public API functions do not allow to pass the pivot point
for each frame alongside with the stabilisation data. Thus this
change implements a trick to package a compensation shift into
the translation offset, so the rotation can be performed around
a fixed point (center of frame). The compensation shift will then shift
the image as if it had been rotated around the desired pivot point.
It is common in blender to use 1-based counting for
frame sequences (while 0-based is allowed). Thus
initializing to use frame 1 as reference for stabilization
is likely to produce smooth start values in most cases
