This commit mainly:
* Exposes PreviewImage struct in RNA, including ways for user to set images data.
* Adds a new kind of PreviewImage, using a file path and IMB_thumb to get image.
* Adds a new kind of custom icon using PreviewImage, unrelated to ID previews system.
* Adds a python API (utils.previews) to allow python scripts to access those custom previews/icons.
Note that loading image from files' thumbnails is done when needed (deferred loading), not
when defining the custom preview/icon.
WARNING: for release addons who would want to use this, please keep it to a strict minimum, really needed level.
We do not want our UI to explode under hundreds of different flashy icons!

Many thanks to Sergey, for practically giving the solution!
Note that it may also fix T44345, depends whether there are other missing
protections/locks or not...

Looks like this does not work for animators here after all, will use a
different code for this (probably not hardcoded)
This reverts commit 3bbb4020e7.
We can calculate tangents analytically for bezier curves, so just make
them awesome. New code uses forward differencing calculation for
efficiency just like curve calculation.

Since it was not ensuring dest has valid mdisp data matching new multires modifier subdiv level...
Also, fixed a bug in `multires_subdivide()`, which would crash when trying to
increase from level 0 (aka no subdiv) to > 1 (wrong check, trying to interpolate
when it should not). And added a few sanity checks.
Looks like the previous commit here is really correct and fixes cases of
distortion that were in mirror-subsurf combination since blender 2.5.
This may cause some changed files in which case we will be adding an
option, but it is expected this will only happen with low res models,
and hand painted textures, and the better distortion here compensates
for that enough to consider not adding a compatibility option yet.
Leaving the facemap winding argument as is just in case we do consider
to add the option.
file, since we need the updated times and frames.
This was lost during stamp code refactoring. The refactoring moved the
stamp when render is initialized so we would be guaranteed to have
correct cameras even when saving render stills at a later time (and even
if cameras were changed). For regular render this would work since
render init takes care of stamp, but for openGL rendering we need to do
this manually.
Still not 100% correct, does not apply multiview cameras to metadata
