UI:

* Added very basic loading of .py files on startup to define panels.
  It now executes all .py files in .blender/ui on startup. Right now
  this contains the object buttons, the C code for it is commented out.

  These files should get embedded in the blender executable as well
  eventually, that's a bit more complicated so this works for now.

* For scons and cmake it seems to copy & find the files OK, for make
  only "make release" works (same with scripts/ folder it seems).

* Added BLI_gethome_folder function in BLI_util.h. This is adapted
  from bpy_gethome, and gives the path to a folder in .blender like
  scripts or ui.

There's plenty of things to figure out here about paths, embedding,
caching, user configs ...
