Brush, font, gradient, palette and pattern choices are currently chosen through
a dialog created by the core, which then returns the user choice to the calling
plug-in. This has the unfortunate consequence of having a pile of likely at
least 3 windows (main GIMP window by core process, plug-in window by plug-in
process, then the choice popup by the core process) shared in 2 processes, which
often end up under each other and that's messy. Even more as the choice popup is
kinda expected to be like a sub-part of the plug-in dialog.
So anyway, now the plug-in can send its window handle to the core so that the
resource choice dialog ends up always above the plug-in dialog.
Of course, it will always work only on platforms where we have working
inter-process transient support.
Simplifies chooser widgets (e.g. GimpBrushSelect) by eliminating attributes (e.g. opacity) of chosen resource.
See #8745, but this commit fixes that by first refactoring the code.
Refactors GUI widgets (e.g. GimpBrushSelectButton and GimpBrushSelect etc.)
Refactor by "Extract class" GimpResourceSelectButton from GimpBrushSelectButton etc.
This moves common code into an inherited class (formerly called GimpSelectButton)
but the subclasses still exist.
The subclasses mainly just do drawing now.
Refactor by "Extract module" GimpResourceSelect from GimpBrushSelect etc.
Moves common code into one file, generic at runtime on type of GimpResource,
that is, the new code dispatches on type i.e. switch statements.
In the future, when core is changed some of that can be deleted.
The files gimpbrushselect.[c,h] etc. are deleted.
The module adapts the API from core to the API of callbacks to libgimp.
Note that core is running the resource chooser (select) widgets remotely.
Core is still calling back over the wire via PDB with more attributes
than necessary.
The new design gets the attributes from the resource themselves,
instead of receiving them from core callback.
The libgimp side adapts by discarding unneeded attributes.
In the future, core (running choosers for plugins) can be simplified also.
Fix gimp_prop_chooser_brush_new same as other resources.
Finish changes, and clean style.
Annotations
By default the new API will be used. But if we build with
GIMP_DEPRECATED_REPLACE_NEW_API macro, then the same function names will
call the old API with ids.
This way, we don't have to update all our plug-ins at once (which I
tried and is very tedious work).
Note that bindings won't have access to the deprecated API at all.

* all files with a GPL header and all COPYING files:
Change licence to GPLv3 (and to LGPLv3 for libgimp).
Cleaned up some copyright headers and regenerated the parsers in
the ImageMap plugin.

* configure.in: bumped version number to 1.3.1.
Require Glib/GTK+-1.3.11 and Pango-0.22. Removed GDK_DISABLE_COMPAT_H
and GTK_DISABLE_COMPAT_H from our default CFLAGS since they don't
exist any longer.
* RELEASE-TO-CVS.patch: removed since the glib/gtk+ API is supposed to
be frozen now.
* HACKING: removed reference to RELEASE-TO-CVS.patch
* app/gui/menus.c
* app/tools/gimptexttool.c: applied RELEASE-TO-CVS.patch to conform
to the new GTK+/Pango API.
* app/core/Makefile.am: generate marshallers with gimp_marshal prefix.
* app/core/gimpmarshal.list: added all marshallers we use.
* app/core/gimpmarshal.[ch]: regenerated.
* app/[lots of .c files]: use gimp_marshal_* for all marshallers.
* data/images/
* app/app_procs.c
* app/gui/splash.c:
* libgimpbase/Makefile.am
* libgimpbase/gimpbase.h

* plug-ins/gdyntext/gdyntextcompat.c
* plug-ins/gfig/gfig.c
* plug-ins/gflare/gflare.c
* plug-ins/script-fu/script-fu-scripts.c: use glib functions instead
of gimp_strescape() and gimpstrcompress().
* cleaned up all header files: use G_BEGIN_DECLS/G_END_DECLS, declared
all _get_type function as G_GNUC_CONST.
* tools/pdbgen/enumcode.pl
* tools/pdbgen/lib.pl: make them generate header files using
G_BEGIN_DECLS/G_END_DECLS.
* pixmaps/Makefile.am
* pixmaps/wilber3.xpm: removed ...
* data/images/tips_wilber.png: ... and added here as PNG
* app/gui/tips-dialog.c: load the Wilber on demand using GdkPixbuf.
* data/images/gimp_splash.ppm: removed ...
* data/images/gimp_splash.png: ... and added as PNG
* app/app_procs.c
* app/gui/splash.[ch]: load the splash image using GdkPixbuf.
* app/gui/about-dialog.c: sink the GtkPreview.
* configure.in: $srcdir != $builddir fix for GIMP_CONTRIBUTORS
* plug-ins/common/plugin-defs.pl: More tidying up after Daniel Egger
* tools/pdbgen/Makefile.am: parse pdb defs only once for app and lib
* tools/pdbgen/lib.pl
