If a user extends a clip beyond the footage's length, they can
choose whether they want a black frame, the last frame continued,
or for the footage to loop infinitely (same for extending earlier
than the start of footage).
Project items are now represented directly in nodes opening up more versatility and possibilities. This is the first iteration of this and will be buggy. Need to test thoroughly.
The macro defined namespaces confused the hell out of lupdate and more or less broke translations permanently. Looks like the only way we can do it is to have a hardcoded namespace, which goes against my instinct, but honestly how likely is it that we'll change the namespace anyway (I guess forks might want to do it, but that's their problem ;) )
Image streams were initially separated from video streams, but they're now
joined with a parameter defining if they're a still image, image sequence,
or regular video. The image sequence import process has also improved so
that if images from the same sequence are imported too, they'll either be
ignored or the user won't be asked again for those if they should be an
image sequence (fixes#1193). Also shifts decoder "probe" process to return
an item, useful if the decoder returns a non-footage item.
Removed proxy task and replaced with a true honest-to-god pre-cache for
footage. This footage is pre-cached to a sequence and therefore 100% ready
for use in it once the task is done.
Turned the two-step PCM transcode into one step and simplified/removed much of
the unnecessary infrastructure that supported it. This makes the code cleaner
and generally improves the code paths.

Indexing is a lengthy process and had a high chance of getting RenderWorkers
stuck doing it rather than being responsive to cache requests. This commit
introduces a system where workers never index media, but instead signal that
media is not ready to their RenderBackends which ensure that the media gets
indexed and re-queues the affected frames when those indexes are ready.
