Animation: action mirror RNA API using pose contents

This adds a new RNA method `Action.flip_with_pose(ob)` to flip the
action channels that control a pose.
The rest-pose is used to properly flip the bones transformation.

This is useful as a way to flip actions used in pose libraries,
so the same action need not be included for each side.
