Since the node graph can have transform cross nodes, input keyframes may occur
at a different times requiring transforming between sequence time and media
time. This commit implements such a mechanism in all UI classes that need it.
Cuts down on a lot of duplicate code between
TimelineWidget/ViewerWidget/CurveWidget/NodeParamView
and TimelinePanel/ViewerPanel/CurvePanel/ParamPanel since they all use similar
time functions.

For some reason, setting not visible *after* setting floating would cause this
issue. The other way around does not.
The workers run in separate threads meaning if any significant change is made
(e.g. parameters changing, or even closing the program), these workers may still
be mid-render. This is particularly problematic when closing since the nodes a
worker is rendering may be deleted mid-render. Render backends now have a
function that pauses the main thread (but starts a second event loop so the UI
isn't frozen) until the worker threads are all finished. This way, massive
changes can be made safely without race conditions.
Previously we had no disk management whatsoever, so we cleared the cache on
every close just to prevent clogging up tester disk space. Now that we are
implementing disk management, there are better things to do on close regarding
disk cache. However, some users may still wish for the app to delete the cache
on close, so it's provided as an option.
Updating values rapidly would cause strange jitters as a
byproduct of the viewer trying to update from the renderer while
it was still working. Rather than the viewer trying to access the
the renderer, we now send textures in the initial update signal
to keep everything synchronized.
Since we're storing media frames too with no disk space management
at the moment, we'll remove the mediaindex folder too on close
just for this testing period
