[Bf-python] embedding timecode

[Gilbert, Joseph]

Anything related to Scene objects in Blender.Get() is considered legacy
code IMO. Information regarding scenes should be in the Render or Scene
context. Blender.Get('curframe') should be deprecated but since so many
old scripts use it it's hard to get rid of. 

PIL_check_seconds_timer () might do something in the way of real time
output. (haven't checked) Is the definition of a 'timestamp' the time
the (frame # * fps) or the real time of execution??  Should both be
available or is it useful only to have (frame # * fps)?

Well that is an issue because frames are not completely the same as
time.

frames run from 1 to fps per second. There is no Second 0 frame 0.
like time 12:00:00. The code takes this into account. I think this is
a pretty standard format ala SMPTE.

A user would be more than welcome to calculate their own formats since
Blender.Get('curframe') is available.
