fix for 2 segfaults running in background mode.

- operators which reload G.main would crash blender if called from python and then accessed bpy.data.*
- WM_read_homefile_exec was setting the contexts Scene to NULL as a signal for the event system, this didnt work in background mode, crashing when property update functions expected scene to be set.
