Since it's inclusion, we have more convenient ways to enable features
such as ASAN. Remove the script since this hasn't been updated in a long
time and would be better off as a 3rd party tool.
The goal of this cleaner is to replace all libraries that are symbolic
link with a regular files, and remove all library files that are not
actually used.
This circumvents the situation when wheel packing converts symbolic
links (libraries with ABI in their names) to regular files due to the
limitation of the zip archives. Doing a manual cleanup pass allows to
run regression tests after the cleanup is done. It is implemented as
as standalone tool so that it can be invoked when it is really needed.
In practice this lowers Linux bpy wheel file size from 540 MB down to
around 362 MB.

This commit implements described in the #104573.
The goal is to fix the confusion of the submodule hashes change, which are not
ideal for any of the supported git-module configuration (they are either always
visible causing confusion, or silently staged and committed, also causing
confusion).
This commit replaces submodules with a checkout of addons and addons_contrib,
covered by the .gitignore, and locale and developer tools are moved to the
main repository.
This also changes the paths:
- /release/scripts are moved to the /scripts
- /source/tools are moved to the /tools
- /release/datafiles/locale is moved to /locale
This is done to avoid conflicts when using bisect, and also allow buildbot to
automatically "recover" wgen building older or newer branches/patches.
Running `make update` will initialize the local checkout to the changed
repository configuration.
Another aspect of the change is that the make update will support Github style
of remote organization (origin remote pointing to thy fork, upstream remote
pointing to the upstream blender/blender.git).
