* Windows installer not working for non-admin users and multiple users
* Addon scripts not installing next to user configuration
* Portable install not being taken into account in all places
The main problem was the windows installer was installing system scripts in
AppData next to the user configuration directory, which is not shared between
users. Now these are installed in ProgramFiles, and only addon scripts added
by the users go to AppData.
On all platforms, addon scripts were sometimes getting installed between
system scripts, because the scripts folder in the executable directory was
given precedence over the user configuration folder, that is no longer done
now. So addons now behave like user configuration, they are preserved even
if you download a newer build of the same blender version.
If you have an installation of 2.57 on windows, the addon install location
will not change until we do the version bump to 2.58, to avoid conflicts with
the existing the installed 2.57 version.
The old behavior of giving precedence to the local folder was done to support
portable install, where all configuration is written to the local folder. This
is now implemented differently: if and only if a "config" folder exists in the
local folder, portable install will be assumed, and files will only be written
to that local folder.
this isn't a fix but GetModuleFileName is returning a name that doesn't exist, so finding python after this isn't working.
Show a popup that the path has an invalid name so at least the user can move it.
- ghost C api, BLI_get_folder_version() could assign garbage values.
- pointcache ptcache_find_frames_around() had a superfluous NULL check which would have crashed anyway if actually NULL.

Selecting COLLADA export after starting blender into default scene Blender would crash, due to misreading the path string (no file saved yet, so it was zero).
Reported by Edwin Amsler
The function for extrapolating the template name with the frame number didn't properly NULL-terminate the
resulting string, this causing broken names and weird paths (if you were lucky - totally unusuable names
detected while stepping through the code).
.blend1 etc backups.
Proves again that lazy coders only make bad code :)
Implementation note:
The filewindow now recoginizes .blend version backups as
a special type, so filtering for .blend files themselves
ignores it. However, they're recognized correctly as valid
.blend files, and draw an icon as .blend file when filtering
is off. Can become a distinct icon if we want...
The main reason to have this is so renders can be scripted to write to a specific file without having to do annoying tricks like set a dummy start/end frame range, render an animation and work out the current frame image will be written to, then rename after rendering.
Also made some 'char *' args into 'const char *'
- fixed this error 7 different functions (deform groups, uv layers & similar).
- support for numbers over 999.
- renamed splitIDname() to BLI_split_name_num(), moved to BLI_path_utils
- don't search CWD/foldername anymore, only CWD/2.54/foldername, since this is the new default build systems use.
- local source paths (./release/scripts) are now treated as system path, otherwise when this is used you cant test ~/.blender/2.54/scripts at the same time.
