Although this wasn't so obvious since it
only showed up for factory settings and in the preferences window.
Panel display order depends on registration order,
Sorry for the noise. On the bright side we no longer need to move
classes around to re-arrange panels.
A user doesn't want to necessarily create a new Screen only because she
wants a new window.
This patch allows the user to pick the screen to use for the new Window.
If the screen picked is the active one, it duplicates it (as the old
behaviour in Blender).

The mesh convert operator can 'freeze' a mesh
(WYSIWYG, modifiers, shape keys etc).
However its not very obvious that the way to perform this
operation is to convert a mesh to a mesh.
Expose this as 'Visual Geometry to Mesh' in the 'Apply' menu,
since this is where users might expect to see it.
Intended to replace legacy GL_SELECT, without the limitations of
sample queries which can't access depth information.
This commit adds VIEW3D_SELECT_PICK_NEAREST and VIEW3D_SELECT_PICK_ALL
which access the depth buffers to detect whats under the pointer,
so initial selection is always the closest item.
The performance of this method depends a lot on the OpenGL
implementations glReadPixels.
Since reading depth can be slow, buffers are cached for object picking
so selecting re-uses depth data, performing 1 draw instead of 3
(for 24, 18, 10 px regions, picking with many items under the pointer).
Occlusion queries draw twice when picking nearest,
so worst case 6x draw calls per selection.
Even with these improvements occlusion queries is faster on AMD hardware.
Depth selection is disabled by default, toggle option under select method.
May enable by default if this works well on different hardware.

The custom poll function for surfacedeform_bind seems to have caused
issues when calling it from Python. Fixed by using the generic modifier
poll function, and setting the button to be active or not in the
Python UI code instead. (there might be a better way, but for now this
works fine)
There were some issues with how we store outliner tree elements:
Apparently the only removable elements have been data-blocks so far.
When recreating the TreeElements, their TreeStoreElem instances were
mainly identified by their ID pointer. However non-data-blocks mostly
depend on an index. For collections, such an index isn't a reliable
measure though if we want to allow removing items. Depending on it for
identifying the TreeStoreElem instance would cause some quite noticeable
glitches (wrong highlights, two elements sharing highlight, etc).
For now I've solved that by actually removing the TreeStoreElem that
represents the removed element. A little limitation of this is that
after undoing the removal, some information might get lost, like
flags to store selection, or opened/closed state.
A better solution that would also fix this issue would be having a real
unique identifier for each non-data-block element, like an idname or even
its data-pointer. Not sure if we can get those to work reliable with
file read/write though, would have to investigate...
Also added a general Outliner tree traversal utility.
This adds an option to force fields of type "Force", which enables the
simulation of gravitational behavior (dist^-2 falloff).

This reverts commit 3da834e83ce9d7056c033148dab04885a6d3b1b7.
We will use the outliner for this now.
I'm also moving the collections_ops.c to outliner_collections.c
This commit adds a way to debug Cycles motion blur issues which
are usually happening due to something crazy happening in between
of frames. Biggest trouble was that artists had no clue about
what's happening in subframes before they render. This is at
least inefficient workflow when dealing with motion blur shots
with complex animation.
Now there is an option in Time Line Editor which could be found
in View -> Show Subframe. This option will expose current frame
with it's subframe to the time line editor header and it'll allow
scrubbing with a subframe precision in time line editor.
Please note that none of the tools in Blender are aware of
subframe, so they'll likely be using current integer frame still.
This is something we don't consider a bug for now, the whole
purpose for now is to give a tool for investigation. Eventually
we'll likely tweak all tools to be aware of subframe.
Hopefully now we can finish the movie here in the studio..
I didn't manage to get the proper object context in the collection
properties editor. That said I got it working for now in a temporary way
since this will change once we get workspaces anyways
(see changes in buttons_context.c and
rna_scene.c::rna_LayerCollection_mode_settings_get)
I still need to handle the merging of the settings. I will find a
provisory solution while we wait for depsgraph.
(also layer_collection_create_mode_settings_object and layer_collection_create_mode_settings_edit could probably be elsewhere - under draw/engines likely)
