While SCons building system was serving us really good for ages it's no longer
having much attention by the developers and started to become quite a difficult
task to maintain.
What's even worse -- there started to be quite serious divergence between SCons
and CMake which was only accumulating over the releases now. The fact that none
of the active developers are really using SCons and that our main studio is also
using CMake spotting bugs in the SCons builds became quite a difficult task and
we aren't always spotting them in time.
Meanwhile CMake became really mature building system which is available on every
platform we support and arguably it's also easier and more robust to use.
This commit includes:
- Removal of actual SCons building system
- Removal of SCons git submodule
- Removal of documentation which is stored in the sources and covers SCons
- Tweaks to the buildbot master to stop using SCons submodule
(this change requires deploying to the server)
- Tweaks to the install dependencies script to skip installing or mentioning
SCons building system
- Tweaks to various helper scripts to avoid mention of SCons folders/files
as well

This patch allows the game engine to keep running while performing things like PNG compression and disk I/O.
As an example, my crowd simulation rasterizer saves a screenshot for every frame. This now takes up 13 msec per frame, which was 31 msec before this patch. Effectively, it allows the simulation to save every frame and still run at 60 FPS.

The issue was caused by the following construction:
def = env['SOMETHING']
defs.append('SOMETHING_MORE')
Since first assignment was actually referencing environment option it was totally
polluted hawing weird and wonderful side effects on all other areas of Blender.
This patch adds a new API function to get the actual display dimensions in pixels.

The embedded player was calling glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_FILL) before rendering font objects, but someone forgot to add this to the Blenderplayer.
while the docs said it followed the settings in the Output panel, other file
formats work now.
Benderplayer still only saves PNG now as documented, but I cleaned up the code
there to reuse existing imbuf functions rather than using own libpng code.
You can see a screenshot of the funcionality here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/manual/Game_Engine/Performance/Display/Framerate_and_Profile
This patch creates a bar-like graph to quickly allow the game dev to see the performance changes.
Also it changes the font to monospace (too allow ' ' padding) and reduced shadow border to
match the blenderplayer one.
Patch finalized and commited at Global Game Jam Vancouver (last one, time to sleep forever now)
viewport. This helps to eliminate OpenGL calls in weird places like the physics
code and to reduce glGet calls, which are expensive.
There should be no functional changes (except maybe a very slight speed improvement).
