Previously, you could delete presets that were part of the blender
default install. Now we check if the preset file resides in the bundled
file paths. If so, prevent deletion of the preset.

Confusing to call a menu a panel when subclasses need to define
panel specific variables.
Avoid having bl_ui depend on bl_operator module too.
Since this isn't an operator, add utils modules for shared types.
New edit mode operator and post-processing brush option.
Trim works on a single GP stroke. It removes trailing points before and after the first intersection (or loop) nearest to the start of the stroke.
Users can select the main unit they want to use now.
Previously the displayed unit always depended on the magnitude of the value.
The old behavior can be restored by switching to the "Adaptive" mode for length, mass and time units.
Meters, kilograms and seconds are the default units for new and old scenes.
The selected unit is also the default unit for user input.
E.g. if cm is selected, whenever the user inputs a unitless number into a field of type length, it will be interpreted as cm.

This commit merge the full development done in greasepencil-object branch and include mainly the following features.
- New grease pencil object.
- New drawing engine.
- New grease pencil modes Draw/Sculpt/Edit and Weight Paint.
- New brushes for grease pencil.
- New modifiers for grease pencil.
- New shaders FX.
- New material system (replace old palettes and colors).
- Split of annotations (old grease pencil) and new grease pencil object.
- UI adapted to blender 2.8.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
- Logical use of fields since they define type information.
- Avoids using ordered-dict metaclass.
Properties using regular assignments will print a warning and load,
however the order is undefined.
Moves the preset into a menu for the panel header, so it can be changed
without opening the panel and takes up less space. Two remaining issues:
* For long lists the add new preset button can be scrolled off screen.
* We should support showing the name of the chosen preset in the panel
header, but the current preset system does not support detecting which
preset is used.

Brecht authored this commit, but he gave me the honours to actually
do it. Here it goes; Blender Internal. Bye bye, you did great!
* Point density, voxel data, ocean, environment map textures were removed,
as these only worked within BI rendering. Note that the ocean modifier
and the Cycles point density shader node continue to work.
* Dynamic paint using material shading was removed, as this only worked
with BI. If we ever wanted to support this again probably it should go
through the baking API.
* GPU shader export through the Python API was removed. This only worked
for the old BI GLSL shaders, which no longer exists. Doing something
similar for Eevee would be significantly more complicated because it
uses a lot of multiplass rendering and logic outside the shader, it's
probably impractical.
* Collada material import / export code is mostly gone, as it only worked
for BI materials. We need to add Cycles / Eevee material support at some
point.
* The mesh noise operator was removed since it only worked with BI
material texture slots. A displacement modifier can be used instead.
* The delete texture paint slot operator was removed since it only worked
for BI material texture slots. Could be added back with node support.
* Not all legacy viewport features are supported in the new viewport, but
their code was removed. If we need to bring anything back we can look at
older git revisions.
* There is some legacy viewport code that I could not remove yet, and some
that I probably missed.
* Shader node execution code was left mostly intact, even though it is not
used anywhere now. We may eventually use this to replace the texture
nodes with Cycles / Eevee shader nodes.
* The Cycles Bake panel now includes settings for baking multires normal
and displacement maps. The underlying code needs to be merged properly,
and we plan to add back support for multires AO baking and add support
to Cycles baking for features like vertex color, displacement, and other
missing baking features.
* This commit removes DNA and the Python API for BI material, lamp, world
and scene settings. This breaks a lot of addons.
* There is more DNA that can be removed or renamed, where Cycles or Eevee
are reusing some old BI properties but the names are not really correct
anymore.
* Texture slots for materials, lamps and world were removed. They remain
for brushes, particles and freestyle linestyles.
* 'BLENDER_RENDER' remains in the COMPAT_ENGINES of UI panels. Cycles and
other renderers use this to find all panels to show, minus a few panels
that they have their own replacement for.
bpy.path.clean_name() and AddPresetBase.as_filename() were doing
inefficient search-replace of individual characters.
Use cached replacement table instead.
- check for class/static methods assumed nonzero args.
- subclass references and set-flag items are now sorted.
- use 'order' for Py operator mix-ins,
so operator settings don't show in random order.
This is necessary because the hair dynamics settings are not part of the
ParticleSettings datablock, but part of the convoluted cloth modifier
inside the particle system struct. In the future this will be recoded
properly, but in the meantime presets provide a simple an unobtrusive
way to have reusable dynamics settings for hair.

Preset operators should avoid using `bpy.context.object.data` as a base
path to properties. This path is not available in the buttons context
when using pinned datablocks! Instead use the specific
`bpy.context.camera` and `bpy.context.lamp.sky` paths now, which lead to
the correct datablocks in any case.
