First node is called Keying Screen (Add -> Matte -> Keying Screen) and it's
aimed to resolve issues with gradients on green screens by producing image
with gradient which is later used as an input for screen color in keying nodes.
This node gets motion tracks from given movie clip and trackign object and uses
them to define color and position of points of gradient: for position marker's
position on current frame is sued, for color average color of pattern area is
used.
Gradient is calculating in the following way:
- On first step voronoi diagram is creating for given tracks.
- On second step triangulation of this diagram happens by connecting sites
to edges which defines area this site belongs to.
- On third step gradient filling of this triangles happens. One of triangle
vertices is colored with average track color, two rest vertoces are colored
with average color between two neighbor sites. Current pixel's color in
triangle is calculating as linear combination of vertices colors and
barycentric coordinates of this pixel.
This node is implemented for both tile and legacy compositor systems.
Second node is basically a combination of several existing nodes to make keying
more straighforward and reduce spagetti mess in the compositor, but it also
ships some fresh approaches calculating matte which seems to be working better
for not actually green screens.
This node supports:
- Chroma preblur
- Dispilling
- Clip white/black
- Dilate/Erode
- Matte post blur
This node doesn't support chroma pre-blur for legacy compositor (yet).
There're still lots of stuff to be improved here, but this nodes night already
be used i think.

This patch also contains some currently unused code from color math module, but
it was used for tests and might be used for tests in the future. Think it's ok
to have it in branch at least.
* Remove all code for Texture and Sequencer plugin system, this never worked in 2.5x / 2.6x and is therefore not needed anymore.
* DNA structures are kept, all read/writefile code is gone.
starting from version 2.64. Unless you have a special system setup, this means the
will be in ~/.config/blender rather than ~/.blender.
When the version number is changed to 2.64, the "Copy Previous Settings" operator
in the splash will copy the settings to the new location.
XDG base directory specification:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
Added four new functions as shortcuts to creating GHashes that use the
standard ptr/str/int/pair hash and compare functions.
GHash *BLI_ghash_ptr_new(const char *info);
GHash *BLI_ghash_str_new(const char *info);
GHash *BLI_ghash_int_new(const char *info);
GHash *BLI_ghash_pair_new(const char *info);
Replaced almost all occurrences of BLI_ghash_new() with one of the
above functions.

Thanks to Brecht for reviewing!
* For VBO, add color to the VertexBufferFormat structure as three
unsigned bytes. Since mask elements are scalar the three color
components are identical to eachother, but the fixed-function OpenGL
pipeline requires colors to be either three or four components.
* For the same reason, multires VBO drawing now copies into the
VertexBufferFormat format as well.
* Regression: material colors will not show up correctly now, masks
colors are overriding. Not sure how to fix this nicely (would be
much easier to fix if drawing with vertex shaders.)
* Also, masks will only draw PBVH drawing, so only 'solid' drawing
will work correctly with masks.
