Campbell Barton b8d9864518 Cleanup: remove unused Main argument to RNA_path functions
Note that lib_override functions have kept the unused argument,
but this may be removed too. It impacts many lib_override functions
so this can be handled separately.

* This provides a way to refer to RNA data while being detached from any

* UI code or Actions, though efficiency is a concern.
