Silences the following strict flags from external libraries:
- -Wclass-memaccess
- -Wswitch
- -Wtype-limits
- -Wint-in-bool-context
Needed to tweak macro a bit, since the old logic was wrong:
we can not use CXX flags for C compiler, need way more strict
separation between what goes where.
The recent change also used the buildtools instead of the regular compiler, you now have to explicitly state what you want to use :
2017 - the standard msvc compiler
2017pre - the msvc compiler from the preview installation
2017b - the msvc compiler from the buildtools installation
When run from make.bat the environment is setup correctly and the VCToolsRedistDir environment variable exists, on later invocations of cmake this may no longer be the case and a warning was emitted about the missing runtime. we can't rely on InstallRequiredSystemLibraries.cmake here since it uses the compiler version to figure out the correct location and it doesn't know how to deal with clang.
-expanded build_deps.cmd with 2017 support, it can't locate msvc2017 so needs to be run from developer prompt.
-Newer cmake was unhappy with openal's cmakelists.txt
-collada has warning as error on and errored out on new msvc2017 warnings.
In some heavy rigs matrix inverse can be 10% of computation time. This
reduces it to 2% by using Eigen's optimized 4x4 matrix inverse and SSE
matrix multiplication.
This will currently only work for the RelWithDebInfo configuration since asan
does not support the debug crt. for source line information in the reports,
you need a copy of llvm-symbolizer in the blender folder or set the
ASAN_SYMBOLIZER_PATH environment variable to point to it. Currently (as of
6.0.0) llvm-symbolizer does not ship with the binary clang/llvm distribution.

This commit contains the minimum to make clang build/work with blender, asan and ninja build support is forthcoming
Things to note:
1) Builds and runs, and is able to pass all tests (except for the freestyle_stroke_material.blend test which was broken at that time for all platforms by the looks of it)
2) It's slightly faster than msvc when using cycles. (time in seconds, on an i7-3370)

3) clang on windows uses a drop in replacement for the Microsoft cl.exe (takes some of the Microsoft parameters, but not all, and takes some of the clang parameters but not all) and uses ms headers + libraries + linker, so you still need visual studio installed and will use our existing vc14 svn libs.
4) X64 only currently, X86 builds but crashes on startup.
5) Tested with llvm/clang 6.0.0
6) Requires visual studio integration, available at https://github.com/LazyDodo/llvm-vs2017-integration
7) The Microsoft compiler spawns a few copies of cl in parallel to get faster build times, clang doesn't, so the build time is 3-4x slower than with msvc.
8) No openmp support yet. Have not looked at this much, the binary distribution of clang doesn't seem to include it on windows.
9) No ASAN support yet, some of the sanitizers can be made to work, but it was decided to leave support out of this commit.

ninja is an alternative to msbuild designed for fast rebuilds. However there is no IDE support, builds only from the command line.
Comparison between msbuild and ninja for a full build, build time in seconds.

make.bat was starting to become hard to maintain, this refactors it into separate batch files for each stage of the process.
-Improved detection of msvc2013/2015
-Improved failure handling.
-Added check for working msbuild and C++ compiler
-Added verbose switch to ease trouble shooting.
-Added Check if svn/cmake/git are in the path before using them
-Display the build configuration before asking to download the libraries
-Offer an option to recover an interrupted checkout of the libraries.
-Automatically check out sub-modules in-case they are missing.
* Add horizontal bar at bottom of all non-temp windows, similar to the Top-bar.
* Status-bar is hidden in UI-less fullscreen mode
* Current contents are preliminary and based on T54861:
** Left: Current file-path if needed. "(Modified)" note if file was changed.
** Center: Scene statistics (like in 2.7 Info Editor).
** Right: Progress-bars and reports
* Internally managed as own "STATUSBAR" editor-type (hidden in UI).
* Like with the Top-bar, Status-bar data and SDNA writing is disabled.
* Most changes in low-level screen/area code are to support layout bounds that differ from window bounds.
Design task: T54861
Main changes approved by @brecht.
