This commit implements described in the #104573. The goal is to fix the confusion of the submodule hashes change, which are not ideal for any of the supported git-module configuration (they are either always visible causing confusion, or silently staged and committed, also causing confusion). This commit replaces submodules with a checkout of addons and addons_contrib, covered by the .gitignore, and locale and developer tools are moved to the main repository. This also changes the paths: - /release/scripts are moved to the /scripts - /source/tools are moved to the /tools - /release/datafiles/locale is moved to /locale This is done to avoid conflicts when using bisect, and also allow buildbot to automatically "recover" wgen building older or newer branches/patches. Running `make update` will initialize the local checkout to the changed repository configuration. Another aspect of the change is that the make update will support Github style of remote organization (origin remote pointing to thy fork, upstream remote pointing to the upstream blender/blender.git).

Blender Dev Tools
This repository is intended for miscellaneous tools, utilities, configurations and anything that helps with Blender development, but aren’t directly related to building Blender.
Some of the tools included may be used stand-alone, others expect Blenders source code to be available.
Usage
While this is a stand-alone repository,
some of the scripts which access Blenders source code assume this repository will be located at
tools
within Blenders source code repository. At some point this may be included as a submodule.
Some tools also rely on the blender
binary, this is assumed to be located at: ../../blender.bin
.
The root directory of Blender’s git repository
Categories
Check Source
Any tools for scanning source files to report issues with code, style, conventions, deprecated features etc.
Config
Configuration for 3rd party applications (IDE’s, code-analysis, debugging tools… etc).
Git
Scripts and utilities for working with git.
Utils
Programs (scripts) to help with development (currently for converting formats, creating mouse cursor, updating themes).
