The `--render-format` CLI option takes `EXR` and `MULTILAYER`, whereas
the DNA image format render setting uses `OPEN_EXR` and
`OPEN_EXR_MULTILAYER`. This commit adds the DNA values to the CLI
argument, so that it is possible to take the selected value from DNA and
pass it as-is to the CLI. This is used in Flamenco, for example.
The `OPEN_EXR` and `OPEN_EXR_MULTILAYER` are now aliases, so both the
existing and the new options keep working.

Convention was not to but after discussion on 918941483f7e we agree its
best to change the convention.
Names now mostly follow RNA.
Some exceptions:
- Use 'nodetrees' instead of 'nodegroups'
since the struct is called NodeTree.
- Use 'gpencils' instead of 'grease_pencil'
since 'gpencil' is a common abbreviation in the C code.
Other exceptions:
- Leave 'wm' as it's a list of one.
- Leave 'ipo' as is for versioning.
The goal is to make it easy to know which exact blender version
and built was used for a job on a farm. This includes but not
exclusively render farms. But same is handy for simulation tasks
as well.
This feature is intended only for testing,
to automate simulating user input.
- Enabled by '--enable-event-simulate'.
- Disables handling all real input events.
- Access by calling `Window.event_simulate(..)`
- Disabling `bpy.app.use_event_simulate`
to allow handling real events (can only disable).
Currently only mouse & keyboard events work well,
NDOF, IME... etc could be added as needed.
See D4286 for example usage.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.

When BPY_python_end() is not called, there can be buffered data still in
`sys.stdout` or `sys.stderr`. This generally isn't an issue when those are
connected to a terminal, but when they are read by another process (in the case
of rendering with Flamenco, for example) we could miss the actual error message
that's causing the exit in the first place.
The following script demonstrates the issue; before this commit neither the
writes to STDERR and STDOUT nor the traceback of the NameError were shown.
#!/bin/bash
cat > file-with-errors.py <<EOT
import sys
print('THIS IS STDERR', file=sys.stderr)
print('THIS IS STDOUT', file=sys.stdout)
nonexisting.monkey = 3
EOT
blender --enable-autoexec -noaudio --background \
any-existing-blendfile.blend \

--python file-with-errors.py 2>&1 | cat

That feature will not be ready (or at least, not tested enough) to be
officially part of 2.80 beta. So we disable it by default, hidding it
behind a startup option (`--enable-static-override`), and a python
app var (`bpy.app.use_static_override`).
That way, people who really want to play with it can do it easily, while
not exposing/enabling non-production-ready feature by default.
Note that underlying override code remains active, i.e. files we do have
overridden data-blocks will be loaded correctly according to static override.
Terms get/set don't make much sense when casting values.
Name macros so the conversion is obvious,
use common prefix for easier completion.
- GET_INT_FROM_POINTER -> POINTER_AS_INT
- SET_INT_IN_POINTER -> POINTER_FROM_INT
- GET_UINT_FROM_POINTER -> POINTER_AS_UINT
- SET_UINT_IN_POINTER -> POINTER_FROM_UINT
Without this, there was no simple way to have
launchers for different app-templates.
Also allows force-disabling the app-template stored in the preferences.
This is really convenient for development. Either for profiling the
generated shaders or to check if the generated code is correct.
It writes the shaders to the temporary blender session folder.
(ported over from blender2.8)
After discussion with Sergey and Dalai, we have decided to remove
this option completely. We're getting to the point where it is almost
impossible to really use 2.8 without COW, and keeping the old option
running ends up diverting dev resources away towards tracking down
and fixing problems with a parallel system that will be going away.
As was decided at today's dev kickoff, we're now moving to having
Copy-on-Write enabled by default, as 2.8 is barely functional with
it off.
To run Blender *without* COW (e.g. for testing), use:
--disable-copy-on-write
