[Bf-python] New Bone flags

[Gilbert, Joseph]

I played around with bone selection and figured out that bone selection
doesn't really work unless your in edit mode. What needs to happen is
that we need a enter/exit editmode for objects. This would allow you to
select and deselect things. Right now you can only select/deselect the
armature object not the armature data.
To tell you the truth im not really sure what BONE_QUATROT really does.
The only place in the source it's referenced is in bone_to_mat3() but
it's now commented out - so I assume the flag really does nothing. 
(Actually the flag values for bones that are created from a 'primitive'
armature is greater than 32 because it has IK_TO_PARENT set (something I
just figured out because IK is not compatible with setPose())).

When I wrote the bone creation code, I created a bone manually in
blender then 
dumped it's flag value to the console.  I used this value to determine
what 
the default value of the flag should be.  Currently when a bone is
created 
it's flag is set to 32.  This is 0x0020 in hex, which after looking at
the 
DNA_armature_types.h file, I believe would set the bone flag
BONE_QUATROT.  
Wouldn't setting it to 1 be better.  I think this would mark the bone as

selected, which may prevent unusual artifacts later.  If I'm out in left

field, please let me know.


Cheers, 

Bob
