For many years, animators have been complaining about how keyframing a (transform)
property directly would leave them ungrouped, while keyframing them using a Keying Set
would put them into a group based on the name of the keyingset.
This commit attempts to improve (unify + make consistent) the default behaviour:
* All object transforms now get added to an "Object Transforms" group,
regardless of whether they were added individually via buttons or keyingset
* All bone transforms now get added to a group corresponding to the name of the bone
instead of only the ones added via keyingset
- Read-only access can often use EvaluationContext.object_mode
- Write access to go to WorkSpace.object_mode.
- Some TODO's remain (marked as "TODO/OBMODE")
- Add-ons will need updating
(context.active_object.mode -> context.workspace.object_mode)
- There will be small/medium issues that still need resolving
this does work on a basic level though.

This commit/patch/branch brings a bunch of powerful new options for B-Bones and
for working with B-Bones, making it easier for animators to create their own
rigs, using fewer bones (which also means hopefully lighter + faster rigs ;)
This functionality was first demoed by Daniel at BConf15
Some highlights from this patch include:
* You can now directly control the shape of B-Bones using a series of properties
instead of being restricted to trying to indirectly control them through the
neighbouring bones. See the "Bendy Bones" panel...
* B-Bones can be shaped in EditMode to define a "curved rest pose" for the bone.
This is useful for things like eyebrows and mouths/eyelids
* You can now make B-Bones use custom bones as their reference bone handles,
instead of only using the parent/child bones. To do so, enable the
"Use Custom Reference Handles" toggle. If none are specified, then the BBone will
only use the Bendy Bone properties.
* Constraints Head/Tail option can now slide along the B-Bone shape, instead of
just linearly interpolating between the endpoints of the bone.

Rotation and Location don't have Keying Sets
Added Keying Sets for Delta Loc/Rot/Scale settings (aka dLoc/dRot).
These settings could already be found in the Object properties, under
the collapsed "Delta Transforms" panel.
I've added these to the end of the Keying Sets list, since adding any
earlier will end up breaking active Keying Set setting in older files.
Besides, these settings aren't that frequently used either...
