Remapping indirect usage of IDs is forbidden from user space, this is calling for
nice nightmare with libraries handling (and undo crash, among other things).
Not sure why I was 'laxist' about indirect usage cases detection like that,
for now just consider any ID used by another linked datablock as indirect usage case!
Also, added some error/warning reports to Outliner's remap code.
The "W" channel will get a yellowish colour (i.e. a blend between the X/R and
Y/G axis colours), while the XYZ will behave as they do for other transforms.
The create drivers operator should not use the "Transform Channel" variable type
when driving one transform with another on the same object/bone. Otherwise, you
end up with a situation which technically results in a bit of a pseudo-dependency
cycle.
The Ctrl-Shift-C operator to add constraints between a pair of selected items,
for example, between two objects, or between two bones (in the same armature).
This commit makes it possible to use this operator to add a constraint where the
target is a bone from another object - e.g. to make a deform bone follow the control
bone in another armature, or to make an object use a bone as a tracking target.
Usage:
1) Ensure you are in Pose Mode, then select the bone to use as the target
2) Shift-Select the other object and/or the bone that's going to get the constraint
3) Ctrl-Shift-C
Problem was in fact slightly wider, File space was nearly not taking into account
library navigation case and its 'virtual' directoris, except in a few places.
Add a wrapper around BLI_is_dir that also check for lib paths, and used it in
ED_file_change_dir(), such that we now always check path is a
valid directory - in the filebrowser context, not filesytem context. ;)
To get this working the least effort, I've had to expose the helper functions
used by the lasso and circle select keyframe-test callbacks (which are generic)
and expose them for use by the GP keyframe editing code too. Hopefully in time
we clean this all up and just write the code once to operate on "keyframes"
This only works in the Action and Dopesheet modes (which operate on FCurve keyframes).
Support for Grease Pencil and Mask Keyframes though is still pending.
This new operator will delete any GP frame it finds on the current frame, regardless
of whether it's on the active layer or not. It will only remove the frames if the
layer is editable, but otherwise, it will just go for it.
The existing operator is great for use in the panel (where it only applies to the active
frame), but it was not so good for all the other places where tools can be invoked
(e.g. D-X, or Delete) as you're typically thinking about the whole scene more holisticaly
than just caring about a particular layer.
Replaces `G.is_rendering` with `use_render_params` argument.
This is needed for Cycles, which attempts to restore render-preview settings from particles,
after it gets its own particle data, but fails to restore because
`G.is_rendering` was being checked in psys_cache_paths (and other places).
This commit adds operators and Outliner menu entries to reload or relocate a library,
and to delete or replace a datablock.
RNA ID API is also extended to allow ID deletion and remapping from python.

This commit changes a lot of how IDs are handled internally, especially the unlinking/freeing
processes. So far, this was very fuzy, to summarize cleanly deleting or replacing a datablock
was pretty much impossible, except for a few special cases.
Also, unlinking was handled by each datatype, in a rather messy and prone-to-errors way (quite
a few ID usages were missed or wrongly handled that way).
One of the main goal of id-remap branch was to cleanup this, and fatorize ID links handling
by using library_query utils to allow generic handling of those, which is now the case
(now, generic ID links handling is only "knwon" from readfile.c and library_query.c).
This commit also adds backends to allow live replacement and deletion of datablocks in Blender
(so-called 'remapping' process, where we replace all usages of a given ID pointer by a new one,
or NULL one in case of unlinking).
This will allow nice new features, like ability to easily reload or relocate libraries, real immediate
deletion of datablocks in blender, replacement of one datablock by another, etc.
Some of those are for next commits.
A word of warning: this commit is highly risky, because it affects potentially a lot in Blender core.
Though it was tested rather deeply, being totally impossible to check all possible ID usage cases,
it's likely there are some remaining issues and bugs in new code... Please report them! ;)

Getting a new edit-derived-bmesh was always creating a deform-vert array, even when it wasn't needed.
Since this was called on redraw, in many cases it was doing it unnecessarily.
Now pass in a custom-data mask and only fill in deform-verts when needed.
Gives noticeable drawing speedup (~10-30% here).
A new option for Font/Text objects vertical alignment:
* Top Base-Line (current mode)
* Top
* Center
* Bottom
The Top is the equivalent as the Top-Baseline with an empty line at the begin of the
text. It's nice to have this option too though, since if we are driving
the alignment via Python we don't want to add extra lines to the text
only to accomodate to the desired vertical alignment.
The Center and Bottom are as intuitive as their name suggest.
When working with text boxes, the vertical alignment only work for
paragraphs that are not vertically full.
Many thanks to Campbell Barton (ideasman42 / @campbellbarton) for the
code review, code comments, and overall suggestions and changes :)

Before the intervall was set to 0.125 which effectively resulted in 8 positions across the UV space (per axis).
I halved that value, holding shift enables an even finer movement.
This change was ported over from my soc-2016-uv_tools branch after talking with howardt, ideasman42 and hackerman-
When this flag is set - even when the curve error is under the threshold,
keep attempting a better fit.
Enable this for freehand drawing, since it gives nicer results and isn't noticeably slower.
Also, can use numeric input to set segments and profile when
in those respective value-adjusting modes (as per S or P toggle).
Finally, fixed problem with previous bevel commit: when changing
value-adjusting mode, would like to start off resumed value adjustment
where it was before.
