Combine all the highpoly pixel arrays into a single array with a lookup
object_id for each of the highpoly objects.
Note: This changes the Bake API, external engines should refer to the
bake_api.c for the latest API.
Many thanks for Sergey Sharybin for the complete review, changes
suggestion and feedback. (you rock!)

Our current keymap doesn't give us enough room to make such changes in
the event system. To fix small issues caused by this, we would need to do
drastic changes in Blender's keymaps and internal handling. It was worth
a try, but it didn't work.
I can write down a more descriptive statement in a few days, but for now
I need a break of this stuff.

Implemented Features
====================
Builtin Stereo Camera
* Convergence Mode
* Interocular Distance
* Convergence Distance
* Pivot Mode
Viewport
* Cameras
* Plane
* Volume
Compositor
* View Switch Node
* Image Node Multi-View OpenEXR support
Sequencer
* Image/Movie Strips 'Use Multiview'
UV/Image Editor
* Option to see Multi-View images in Stereo-3D or its individual images
* Save/Open Multi-View (OpenEXR, Stereo3D, individual views) images
I/O
* Save/Open Multi-View (OpenEXR, Stereo3D, individual views) images
Scene Render Views
* Ability to have an arbitrary number of views in the scene
Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

Initial implementation proposal: T41867
Short description:
With this we can distinguish between holding and tabbing a key. Useful
is this if we want to assign to operators to a single shortcut. If two
operators are assigned to one shortcut, we call this a sticky key.
More info is accessible through the design task and the diff.
A few people that were involved with this:
* Sean Olson for stressing me with this burden ;) - It is his enthusiasm
that pushed me forward to get this done
* Campbell and Antony for the code and design review
* Ton for the design review
* All the other people that gave feedback on the patch and helped to
make this possible
A big "Thank You" for you all!
Added an utility function which performs vertex split based on the loop
normal so now backing API matches to what's happening in Cycles and BI
in terms of autosplit.

General idea is to avoid actual calculation from property update()
callback and tag things for update later instead.
That said, pose constraint flags are now tagged for update and
handled as a part of object update. In the new depsgraph it'll
be a nice dedicated operation node.
Also avoid updating disabled flags for all the modifiers. This
part of the path is not totally optimal since it'll still need
to iterate over bones in order to get pchan, but to optimize it
further would be nice to find a way to avoid pchan requirement
all together.

This patch would reassign the relative of all keyblocks to the relative
of the deleted keyblock. And it fixes the misalignement of the index values
after the keyblock is deleted.

The idea is pretty simple: instead of making temporary copy of all the
related custom data layers just pass the ownership from the DM to the
mesh.
This is really handy in cases when you've got DM which you need to
convert to Mesh datablock and wouldn't need that DM after conversion
anyway.
Foe example, render database conversion, exporters and even Modifier
Apply will benefit from this option.

internal api Consistency.
For the records, I suspect there are still a few cases of this. I found
this by chance (moving an object to a different layer), and I ran into
the previous one (fixed by Campbell) as well (by adding a cube).
Anyways, since it only happens when building with crash on asserts is
not a big issue. But by the time we change RNA to use bool instead of
int it would be nice to do a call for test to prevent those breaks.
Titles says everything, just two notes:
* We have to actually transfer plain *normals*, not 'compressed' clnors,
so had to add pre/post process to transfer to make the conversions.
* Also added interpolation and advanced copy/mixing to CD_NORMAL, for same reasons.
For now, did most of the changes in menu entries (i.e. py space UI scripts).
Note we do not get 100% same results as previously, but current situation is
globally better than previous one, though the whole system to retrieve shortcuts
remains a bit weak...
Mesh stores its dvert in a specific pointer too, in addition of regular CD layer...
That whole vgroup handling is really breaking apart the 'universality' of CD system. :(
Also added some DAG and WM updates in operators...
We can now use 'generic' data transfer instead.
Note new one is not an exact replacement, it should be able to do
everyting old op could do though, and more.
