This also revealed an issue where the opengl render float buffer was not linear,
and toggling back to a render slot would show wrong colors. Now it converts the
float buffer to linear so that this goes ok, disadvantage is that it's slower.
details:
- setting format options from python isnt possible anymore since this isnt exposed via op->properties, python should use image.save() function instead.
- image save UI now hides 'Relative' option when copy is selected since it has no effect.
- default image depth is set to 8 or more if the image has no float buffer, otherwise its set to 32 or less.
other fixes:
- image new was adding an image with a filepath set to "untitled", if this file happened to exist in the current directory a save on the generated image would overwrite it, now initialize to empty path.
- BKE_ftype_to_imtype was returning an invalid value if ftype==0.
Show overall progress when doing sequence rendering. Nice for cases when
you're using sequencer to combine video strips only, without rendering
scenes and so. If scene strips are used in sequencer, per-frame rendering
would be used (because of scene rendering sets per-frame progress).
* Scene.use_shading_nodes property to check if RenderEngine is using new shading
nodes system, and RenderEngine.bl_use_shading_nodes to set this.
* Add mechanism for tagging nodes as being compatible with the old/new system.

* This adds a Rendered draw type in the 3D view, only available when
the render engine implements the view_draw callback.
* 3D view now stores a pointer to a RenderEngine.
* view_draw() callback will do OpenGL drawing instead of the viewport.
* view_update() callback is called after depsgraph updates.
This prevents access to non-existent typeinfo during type initialization,
when node types have been removed and such nodes are deleted from older files.
All blenkernel functions now only set the node->update flag instead of directly
calling the update function. All operators, etc. calling blenkernel functions
to modify nodes should make a ntreeUpdate call afterward (they already did that
anyway).
Editor/RNA/renderer/etc. high-level functions still can do immediate updates by
using nodeUpdate and nodeUpdateID (replacing NodeTagChanged/NodeTagIDChanged
respectively). These old functions were previously used only for setting
compositor node needexec flags and clearing cached data, but have become generic
update functions that require type-specific functionality (i.e. a valid typeinfo
struct).
- initialize the relative_path option in ED_fileselect_get_params(), saves initializing within every operators own init functions, some even trying to initialize a non existing property.
- don't set the operator default from the user preferece, operator property defaults should be static else python scripts for eg can get different defaults depending on user settings, this also wont get updated when user-defaults are edited so generally confusing & not good practice.
