[Bf-taskforce25] RNA groups proposal, implementation stage 3

[Shaul Kedem]

Amazing stuff Vekoon. Really straight forward and customizable.

some thoughts:
 - Can you add a thin lines between each root-level group?
 - Shared controls, like the layers control, are updated at the same
time in both the properties and window headers?
 - I think that user-hinting of stuff that was previously only a
button or a key will teach users to use short cuts and thus speed
their work process, so adding icons of rotate/scale/move in the
properties page, adding a tool tip with the key mapped to that
property (for example, when rotating, a tooltip saying "rotate - R" or
something like that) and adding visual hints - for example when
scaling, highlighting the scaling button in the window header(s), so
the user will know that everything is actually the same control,
positioned and available in different ways

But really, this is a huge step.
