Better checking of the existence of image filepath
Apparently packed images can get funny filepaths like "//../../../../"
in autosaves. Best to check only the basename so there won't be empty
filenames in datafiles.

Fix a data corruption issue in mesh exporter
Apparently mathutils.Vector can refer to external data, in this case the
mesh's UV coordinates, which gets deleted with the mesh. Copy the values
to make sure they are retained.

Use bezier splines in Animation
Control keyframes can now be added to affect the shape of curves. Zero,
one or two control keyframes can be present between any two regular
keyframes, resulting in a linear, quadratic or cubic segment.

Reimplement Animation using splines
Transform interpolation is now performed on individual components rather
than entire matrices. This produces more accurate rotations and later
will allow animations to only affect some components of the transform.
Currently linear splines are used and the slope parameters are ignored.
Pose matrices are also disabled for now because I don't have any suitable
data for testing them. The old implementation was broken in various ways
anyway.

Export world transforms for scene objects
The location, rotation and scale properties contain transform components
relative to the somewhat arbitrary basis matrix. Obtain the values from
the world matrix instead. A drawback is that nonuniform or negative
scaling can produce inconsistent results.

Add a class to unify loading coordinate transforms
It will also be useful for animations. Euler angles are not the ideal
way of storing rotations but they are relatively easy to understand and
work with. Other rotation types will be added in the future.

Do not use the srgb flag for textures that explicitly define storage
Presumably the texture author knows which colorspace the texture uses.
In particular this made it impossible to load non-color textures such
as normal maps which require a linear colorspace if the srgb flag was
set in the containing resource collection.

Fix various issues with constant condition elimination
It used to optimize based on the initial values of variables, ignoring
the fact that they may change between loop iterations. A stop-gap fix
was implemented in 8e14c29, but it prevented optimizations of some
conditionals that could safely have been removed. It also caused the
optimizer to ignore any assignments made to any variables after
declaration when evaluating the loop condition, potentially causing
entire loops to be erroneously removed. Finally, unary expressions were
not being handled so ++ and -- operators did not mark the variable as
modified.

Try to simplify object names when exporting a scene
The exporter now tries to find the longest common prefix for objects
sharing the same prototype and exports the prototype using that name.
This avoids having randomly numbered object names.

Implement material maps for exporting objects with multiple materials
This replaces the material texture feature which was removed earlier. The
principle is similar (store material color values in a texture) but the
maps are global, making it possible for multiple objects to use the same
map.

Make resource handling in the Blender exporter more flexible
All resources are now collected into a dict and referenced or inlined as
necessary. This makes it possible for SceneExporter to see the resources

Redesign file writing in the Blender exporter

Only use texunit zero in exporter-generated techniques

Rewrite triangle strip generation in the Blender exporter
The old algorithm had many of the right ideas but was too clever by half

developed by Tom Forsyth. Also reorder vertices to make memory accesses
to them occur in a more linear fashion.
Options related to cache optimization were removed since there's
no good reason not to optimize.

Improve progress reporting in the Blender exporter
