[Bf-committers] Patch: Border select tool for outliner

[Campbell Barton]

We discussed this in IRC - at the moment the outliner has both
selection where highlighting the items for further (right mouse menu)
actions is the primary selection.
this is needed for world/material/... any ID's that dont have
selection of their own.

Don't think its a good idea to just make special case for objects for
border select.

Think its worth looking into nicer ways to sync / manage
object/outliner selection in general,
Menu --> Select feels quite clumsy.
