When using an external render engine Blender will still draw an OpenGL
depth buffer for the overlay engine to work correctly. Particle systems
were ignored, what lead to occluded hair and other artifacts.

After the previous commit by Harley Acheson, scaling can be handled at
runtime so we don't need to have two splash screen image variants
anymore.
Also removes the `splash_scale.sh` script used to create the down-scaled
variant.
Always nice to get rid of some binary files from the repository :)
There is no need to have another font embedded in the Blender executable, we
can assume the bundled font exists. In the future we may provide a fallback
if the font specified by the user in the preferences is missing a character,
but that can use our bundled international font.

This means Blender can display more text correctly without having to enable
user interface translation. Previously the quality of the font was lower,
but that has been fixed now.
The font files have now been ungzipped, which results in faster file loading
as Freetype can read only the parts of the file that it needs. Blender download
size should not increase since the release package is compressed.
This includes improvements for Cyrillic characters from the latest DejaVu
Sans fonts from D6960, contributed by Harley Acheson. Fixes T74097.

This patch adds ability to set up colors and size of background
(transparency) checkerboard pattern in viewport and 2d editors. No new
backgrounds, only changing colors in existing ones.
This is not the background of the viewport, it is a transparency
checkerboard that is turned on only in render mode, when the
transparency mode is on. And also in 2D-editors, (image, sequencer,
etc).

This patch implements dumping images from cache to HDD.
The main goal of this system is to provide a means to achieve consistent playback speed mainly for strips that are not possible to preview in real time.
How to use:
Disk cache has own settings in user preferences for path to storage, size limit and compression level.
To use disk cache, you need to check `Use Disk Cache` box, set `Disk Cache Directory`, `Disk Cache Limit` and save or open existing .blend file.
By default sequencer output will be cached only. Manual setting is possible in cache panel.
Uses:
- Replacement or alternative for proxies. Disk cache will work with any strip type, supports float images as well.
- Storage for strip thumbnails.
- Less RAM needs to be allocated for preview cache
How it works:
Disk cache is extension of RAM cache. Every image, that is stored or deleted in RAM will be stored or deleted on HDD as well. Images can be compressed to save space and for use on slower drives. Compressed images are slower to write and read though.
Images are stored in bulk of 100 rendered frames per one file. This is to overcome slow file access time for large amount of files. Drawback is, that if one frame needs to be redrawn, all 100 frames are deleted.

We have the problem that it's very hard to see which animation channels are selected. This is a very small tweak to make it more obvious, using the same text highlight color as the Outliner.
Really it should be overhauled to be more exactly like the Outliner, but this is just a quick fix to make it reasonably visible.

The NLA Editor sidebar is currently out of step with the rest of Blender, and in particular the Sequencer, which offers similar features and functionality. This patch makes a number of UI layout changes to make it fit in.
- Remove Active Track panel, since the track names can just be edited in the source list on the left
- Rejiggered the categories to be more understandable. 'Strip' includes settings for the current strip, and 'Edited Action' includes settings for the action that is currently being edited
- Use single column split layout
- Use name + mute toggle configuration like in the Sequencer
- Fix an issue with the theme, where the sidebar background was too dark, breaking the bright -> dark hierarchical logic
- Use sub-panels for animated strip properties controls

Blender supports locking vertex groups to prevent changes to the
weights. However, as mentioned in comments for D3837, it is hard
to use this because there is no interface for locking in 3D View.
This adds a red shade to bones that are associated with a locked
weight group during weight paint mode, as the first step to adding
such interface. The next step is adding a pie menu for lock/unlock.
