[Bf-interface] Container type object

[Paweł Łyczkowski]

Hey Jonathan,

It's mostly for organization purposes. For instance, currently a rigged 
model is a collection of objects - so when doing any operation like 
hiding, copying, moving to layer etc. there is a possibility that some 
object will be left behind somewhere. A container would be a solid way 
to be sure all are together where they should be, and can't be 
interacted with when the user is not "inside" the container.

It's also for making modifiers easier to work with. For instance, if you 
have a model that is a collection of objects, there is currently no 
clean way to lower or rise the subdivision level on all of these 
objects. Containers would mean having a single subdivision modifier for 
all of them.
