Nathan Vegdahl df02e7a5e5 Anim: add channel groups to layered actions
This PR adds channel groups (also known as fcurve groups or action groups) to
layered actions.  For layered actions, these groups belong to the `ChannelBag`s
and can vary by bag.

From a user perspective, the goal is for these to function just like channel
groups from legacy actions.  However, internally they are implemented a little
differently: legacy actions store both channel groups and fcurves in a listbase,
and groups indicate what fcurves are in them with a listbase that points
directly into the larger fcurve listbase.  Layered actions, on the other hand,
store both fcurves and channel groups in an array, and groups indicate what
fcurves are in them by indexing into the fcurve array.

Despite taking this different approach, we still reuse the `bActionGroup` struct
for the new channel groups, just adding the necessary fields for index-based
fcurve membership as described above.

This PR does not implement all of the functionality needed to reach feature
parity with legacy action channel groups, but implements the main core and gets
them basically working.

It's easier to list the things that *haven't* been implemented yet:

- Operators for letting the user manually create/remove/move channel groups.
- Keyframe selection in the action/dopesheet editor on channel group rows
  themselves are not yet working correctly.
- Handling channel groups in legacy/layered action conversion operators.
- Making the legacy `action.groups` property work on single-layer-single-strip
  layered actions.

Those are left for future PRs.  Other than that, in theory everything should be
working now.
