This patch implements new cache system.
Aim is to give user more control over cache, so it can be maximally
utilized. This is done through sequencer timeline side panel
in category proxy & cache.
Cached images are also visualized in timeline, controled by
sequencer timeline view->cache menu
Functional changes:
- NOT use IMB_moviecache API
- refactor names of cached image types
- each scene owns 1 sequencer cache
- merge preprocess cache into per-sequencer cache
- cache links images rendered per frame in order as they are created
- add cache content visualization tool
- add RNA properties to control the cache
More info can be found in design notes in blenkernel/intern/seqcache.c
and in https://developer.blender.org/D4443

Similar to many apps:
- Use left click and drag to box select
- Hold modifiers like Ctrl and Shift to remove or expand selections
- Use MMB-drag to use the tool outside of the gizmo area
In the future it would be nice if the transform tools would have this increased flexibility built-in so you could configure it more easily, but this setup seems to at least make it do the most commonly useful thing by default.
Modifier previews should be implemented by a more generic system.
The current system is already a hack and needed a lot of work
to get it working again in 2.80 and even so that would be replaced by
another system in the near future.
For Vertex Colors we have a work around in place by using Workbench
Vertex Colors. For Vertex Weights we loose the previewing. Not sure
targetting weight is working (even for 279).

I also had to make the "New" operator a submenu in the
`File Context Menu`, so that you can still select the template.
This partially solves T61599. Currently the confirm dialog
is not shown when an already existing file is opened.
Implementing that requires a bit more work and will be
done in a separate patch.

This is a first step towards T61599.
This way the invoke function can be used for the confirm
dialog in a separate patch.

Each spaces top-bar wasn't showing it's own active tool,
Remove RNA access to the workspaces tool since using it is error prone.
Eventually this should be completely removed.
As far as I can tell, there is no technical reason why the B-Bone
segment thickness scaling can't be separated into two axes. The
only downside is the increase in complexity of the B-Bone settings,
but this is inevitable due to the increase in flexibility.
Updating the file is somewhat complicated though, because F-Curves
and drivers have to be duplicated and updated to the new names.

Adding this back was a frequent request.
Now the panel can be hidden - some users may prefer only to access this
via a shortcut.
Unfortunately this uses an F-Key we'd intended to keep free for users.
This still keeps the middle block of F-Keys (5..8) free.
This way float and multilayer images can now be packed without data loss. This
removes the as_png option and always uses the appropriate file format depending
on the image contents.
Allowing direct import of text blocks isn't especially useful,
instead add `text.as_module()` script authors can do this
explicitly if it's needed.
Now the text "Register" option executes
instead of loading as a module.
This removes the need to keep track of the current Main,
and C code to override Python's import & reload.
Expanding enum items in a small area would render the names with
dots, what is a bad solution. When you use expand directly on a
`grid_flow` or `column_flow`, it will render the items on multiple
lines, giving more control to the developer.

Each space had separate operators, duplicating logic.
Use RNA properties instead so adding the ability to toggle other
region types (floating redo region for eg) doesn't need to have an
extra operator per space type.
It's also nicer to show a check-box for something which can be toggled.
When in Axis alligned orthographic view a grid was always displayed.
With this change the user can enable/disable this grid.
The Grid is always visible and editable, but only rendered active when user is in quad view, or axis aligned ortho view.
