3abb8e8e68 BGE performance: second round of scenegraph improvement.
Use dynamic linked list to handle scenegraph rather than dumb scan
of the whole tree. The performance improvement depends on the fraction
of moving objects. If most objects are static, the speed up is 
considerable. The following table compares the time spent on 
scenegraph before and after this commit on a scene with 10000 objects
in various configuratons:

Scenegraph time (ms)              Before         After
(includes culling)

All objects static,               8.8            1.7  
all visible but small fraction          
in the view frustrum

All objects static,               7,5            0.01
all invisible.

All objects moving,               14.1           8.4
all visible but small fraction
in the view frustrum

This tables shows that static and invisible objects take no CPU at all
for scenegraph and culling. In the general case, this commit will 
speed up the scenegraph between 2x and 5x. Compared to 2.48a, it should
be between 4x and 10x faster. Further speed up is possible by making
the scenegraph cache-friendly.

Next round of performance improvement will be on the rasterizer: use
the same dynamic linked list technique for the mesh slots.

51b4145841 BGE Scenegraph and View frustrum culling improvement.
This commit contains a number of performance improvements for the
BGE in the Scenegraph (parent relation between objects in the
scene) and view frustrum culling.

The scenegraph improvement consists in avoiding position update
if the object has not moved since last update and the removal
of redundant updates and synchronization with the physics engine.

The view frustrum culling improvement consists in using the DBVT
broadphase facility of Bullet to build a tree of graphical objects
in the scene. The elements of the tree are Aabb boxes (Aligned 
Axis Bounding Boxes) enclosing the objects. This provides good
precision in closed and opened scenes. This new culling system
is enabled by default but just in case, it can be disabled with
a button in the World settings. There is no do_version in this
commit but it will be added before the 2.49 release. For now you
must manually enable the DBVT culling option in World settings
when you open an old file.

The above improvements speed up scenegraph and culling up to 5x.
However, this performance improvement is only visible when
you have hundreds or thousands of objects.

The main interest of the DBVT tree is to allow easy occlusion
culling and automatic LOD system. This will be the object of further
improvements.

c77af31166 Minor speedups for the BGE
* Where possible use vec.setValue(x,y,z) to assign values to a vector instead of vec= MT_Vector3(x,y,z), for MT_Point and MT_Matrix types too.
* Comparing TexVerts was creating 10 MT_Vector types - instead compare as floats.
* Added SG_Spatial::SetWorldFromLocalTransform() since the local transform is use for world transform in some cases.
* removed some unneeded vars from UpdateChildCoordinates functions 
* Py API - Mouse, Ray, Radar sensors - use PyObjectFrom(vec) rather then filling the lists in each function. Use METH_NOARGS for get*() functions.

5d0a207ecb Patch from GSR that a) fixes a whole bunch of GPL/BL license
blocks that were previously missed; and b) greatly increase my
ohloh stats!

3dd18c5c34 Added an UpdateTransform callback from SceneGraph -> Physics.
Profiling revealed that the SceneGraph updated every physics object, whether it moved or not, even though the physics object was at the right place.  This would cause SOLID to go and update its bounding boxes, overlap tests etc.
This callback handles the special case (parented objects) where the physics scene needs to be informed of changes to the scenegraph.

Added Python attributes (mass, parent, visible, position, orientation, scaling) to the KX_GameObject module.
Make KX_GameObject use the KX_PyMath Python <-> Moto conversion.
