The legacy algorithm only considers two adjacent points when computing
the bezier handles, which cannot produce satisfactory results. Animators
are often forced to manually adjust all curves.
The new approach instead solves a system of equations to trace a cubic spline
with continuous second derivative through the whole segment of auto points,
delimited at ends by keyframes with handles set by other requirements.
This algorithm also adjusts Vector handles that face ordinary bezier keyframes
to achieve zero acceleration at the Vector keyframe, instead of simply pointing
it at the adjacent point.
Original idea and implementation by Benoit Bolsee <benoit.bolsee@online.be>;
code mostly rewritten to improve code clarity and extensibility.

Cyclic extrapolation is implemented as an f-curve modifier, so this
technically violates abstraction separation and is something of a hack.
However without such behavior achieving smooth looping with cyclic
extrapolation is extremely cumbersome.
The new behavior is applied when the first modifier is Cyclic
extrapolation in Repeat or Repeat with Offset mode without
using influence, repeat count or range restrictions.
This change in behavior means that curve handles have to be updated
when the modifier is added, removed or its options change. Due to the
way code is structured, it seems it requires a helper link to the
containing curve from the modifier object.

IN and OUT parameters cannot be edited
The problem here was that the "frame_start" and "frame_end" RNA properties of
the Stepped FModifier were shadowing/overriding "frame_start" and "frame_end"
properties of the base FModifier. As a result, when the range() callback
for the In/Out parameters (defined as part of the base FModifier) checked
it's start/end properties, they were always still zero, meaning that the
acceptable range for the In/Out parameters was 0 -> 0 = 0.
Note:
If you've got old files with this problem, you'll need to manually click on
the frame_start/end properties to flush out the old values. It's probably
not worth the effort of applying a version patch for this (given that this
modifier is not one of the most often used ones AFAIK).

internal flags.
This gives us 9 flags available again for properties (we had none anymore),
and also makes things slightly cleaner.
To simplify (and make more clear the differences between mere properties
and function parameters), also added RNA_def_parameter_flags function (and
its clear counterpart), to be used instead of RNA_def_property_flag for
function parameters.
This patch is also a big cleanup (some RNA function definitions were
still using 'prop' PropertyRNA pointer, etc.).
And yes, am aware this will be annoying for all branches, but we really need
to get new flags available for properties (will need at least one for override, etc.).

This commit allows RNA properties to return additional info on their editable state which may then be displayed in tooltips. To show how it works, it also adds some info for the editable check of proxies. For generally un-editable properties or properties of a linked data-block, RNA returns default strings.

Drivers can use this to refer to the data which the driver is applied to,
useful for objects, bones, to avoid having to create a variable pointing to its self.

Currently "long keyframes" are only useful for indicating where stationary
holds occur. If however you try to create a "moving hold" (where the values
are slightly different, but in terms of overall effect, it's still a hold)
then it could get tricky to keep track of where these occur.
Now it's possible to tag such keyframes (using the keyframe types - RKEY)
as being part of a moving hold. These will not only be drawn differently
from normal keyframes, but they will also result in a "long keyframe"
being drawn between each pair of them, just like if they had been completely
stationary instead.
Currently the theming/styling of these is a bit rough. They reuse the existing
theme colours for long keyframes.

The "W" channel will get a yellowish colour (i.e. a blend between the X/R and
Y/G axis colours), while the XYZ will behave as they do for other transforms.

* Knock out "Python" FModifier entry - It really hasn't been coded yet!
* Add icon for "Match Indices" driver eyedropper mode. It should help provide
a bit more of a hint of what it does, but it also doesn't look quite as nice now.

This commit aims to streamline the driver variables layout a bit
* Each variable type now has an icon. (The loc diff and rot diff ones are placeholders,
which could deserve something better/dedicated if we continue to use this)
* Instead of taking up an entire row, the variable type dropdown now only shows
an icon, and is located before the variable name field.
Feedback wanted: Is this more/less confusing than it was?

copying all variables from one driver to another
This was a feature request from a few years back (IIRC from ZanQdo?) to make it
easier to reuse one set of driver variables across several different drivers.

* Finally it's done! All that trouble for two little buttons.
* Grr... cmake... grrr!

When attempting to change a driver variable name to an "invalid" name,
an indicator will now be shown beside the offending variable name.
Clicking on this icon will show a popup which provides more information
about why the variable name cannot be used.
Reasons that it knows about are:
1) Starts with number
2) Has a dot
3) Has a space
4) Starts with or contains a special character
5) Starts with an underscore (Python does allow this, but it's bad practice,
and makes checking security of drivers harder)
6) Is a reserved Python keyword

The new "default keyframe type" dropdown on the timeline header
(and also the "Keyframe Type" operator/properties in other places)
now has procedurally generated icons which reflect what that keyframe
type will look like when rendered in the Dope Sheet.
This was achieved using the ancient "VICON" (vector icon) stuff
that's lurking around in the dark parts of UI code. From memory,
the only other things that use (or used to use) this stuff included
some of the triangle icons for some dropdown buttons, or something
like that.
Notes:
* Theme colour changes are reflected immediately by these icons.
This is possible because they are all drawn procedurally
* These icons scale with the DPI setting. I manually guessed the size of
these icons. They can be adjusted further if needed.
* I've documented the steps for adding voodoo icons like this on the wiki
(http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.7/Source/Checklists/Vector_Icon)
* It's true that the rendering of these keyframes doesn't quite fit the rest
of the icons in the UI. However, since we're just leveraging the standard
keyframe drawing methods (to avoid discreptancies between the two), we'll
leave it as such for now. Maybe later we can consider blending in a bit of
the glossy keyframe icons in the Icon Sheet?

To make it easier for animators working in a multipass pose-to-pose workflow
when inserting breakdown keyframes and so forth, it is now possible to specify
the "type" of keyframe being created (i.e. the colour of the keyframe, when drawn
in the Dope Sheet).
Usage:
1) Choose the type of keyframe ("Keyframe", "Breakdown", "Extreme", etc.) from
the new dropdown located between the AutoKeying and KeyingSet widgets on the
timeline header.
2) Insert keyframes
3) Rejoyce that your newly created keyframes have now been coloured for you already
in the DopeSheet.
Todo:
* Look into a way of using the actual keyframe colours (from the theme) for the icons
of these types.

So far, we had an operator to 'bake' keyframe curves into samples, but no
way to make the fcurve editable again (i.e. to convert it back into a keyframes one).
Needed to fix mocap addon (see T43259).
Also, fixed a glitch in `fcurve_store_samples()`, since given end frame is included in range,
it is valid to give same start and end frame (in case you want a single point in samples,
not much practical cases, but...).

This option (alongside the Ease In/Out/InOut options already available) aims to make it
easier to get an initial curve that looks closer to the one you were expecting, by
automatically picking whether Ease In or Ease Out should be used based on the type of
interpolation being used for the curve segment in question.
Notes:
* The types chosen may need some adjustments (e.g. using ease in-out instead of just ease in)
* This does break compatability with files saved in previous dev builds, but only
if you were using Bounce/Elastic/Back with "Ease In"

This patch adds icons for each of the keyframe interpolation types (including
the easing equations), as well as icons for the easing type options.

Previously, amplitude was more of an "absolute" value in the sense that whatever value
you set it to became a sort of "maximum bounce" height. However, it turns out that this
approach isn't so nice when dealing with large gaps between the values of two keyframes,
as the elastic easing equations expect that "amplitude > |change|" (where change is the
difference in values from key1 to key2).
Now, the "amplitude" value we pass to the easing functions are "|change| + amplitude".
This is easier to control, as now, as soon as you start changing that value, there are
immediately visible effects.

This commit introduces support for a number of new interpolation types
which are useful for motion-graphics work. These define a number of
"easing equations" (basically, equations which define some preset
ways that one keyframe transitions to another) which reduce the amount
of manual work (inserting and tweaking keyframes) to achieve certain
common effects. For example, snappy movements, and fake-physics such
as bouncing/springing effects.
The additional interpolation types introduced in this commit can be found
in many packages and toolkits (notably Qt and all modern web browsers).
For more info and a few live demos, see [1] and [2].

- Added update callback to perform on-update validation when changing the
extrapolation mode on F-Curves
- There was a patch in the tracker for adding an "update()" method to F-Curves
which does a similar thing when manually called by scripts. Since we've added
a function for this in RNA anyways, we might as well add this too while we're
at it. (NOTE: upon closer inspection, the original patch by Tom Edwards had a
number of issues, so I ended up reimplementing here)

FCurve Noise Modifer now has an extra float property which offsets the noise in time.
This is useful for creating follow through in procedurally animated noise.
For example, if you've used a noise modifier on a parent bone to add additional movement,
a quick and easy way to add overlapping motion is to create copies of that modifier on
its children, and then offset the time those curves play at. See this in action at:
