Auto Save

Auto save is now working again in 2.5. It will also remember now what
the location of the original file was when recovering it, so that
library links still work and saving the restored file does not save to
the temp directory. There is also a new Recover Auto Save operator
which will open the filebrowser in the temp directory and show the
auto saved .blends.

Implemenation Notes:

* Timer storage was moved from window to windowmanager, so we can have
  windowmanager level timers too now, doesn't make sense to have
  autosave timer attached to a particular window.
* FileGlobal now has a filename field storing where the file was saved.
  Note that this is only used when loading a file through the recover
  operators, regular file read doesn't use it, so copying the quit.blend
  manually over the original file will still work as expected.
* Jobs timer no longer uses operator now, this seems more like an
  internal thing, changing keymaps should not make it possible to break
  the jobs manager.
* Autosave is postponed by 10 seconds when a modal operator is running,
  e.g. transform or file browsing.
* Moved setting G.sce in setup_app_data before depsgraph updates, these
  can use the filename for pointcaches.
