Example, imagine an object Cube in collections 1 and 2 where both
collections are nested to A. Now we set a "color" property as follow:
```
Scene -> GREEN
--
A -> RED
↳ 1 -> BLUE
↳ 2 -> -
```
In this case the object will be RED, because of A↳ 2.
Now if we have:
```
Scene -> GREEN
--
A -> RED
↳ 1 -> -
↳ 2 -> PINK
1 -> -
--
The object will be PINK because of A↳ 2.
Note that the (top level) collection 1 doesn't influence the object color
because there are no overrides on it. The scene render settings (GREEN
in this case) are only used as fallback if an override is not set at
all.
The ABC_export and ABC_import functions both take a as_background_job
parameter, and return a boolean.
When as_background_job=true, returns false immediately after scheduling
a background job. This was the old behaviour of this function, which makes
it very hard for scripts to do something with the data after the import
or export completes.
When as_background_job=false, performs the export synchronously, and
returns true when the export was ok, and false if there were any errors.
This allows further processing.
The Scene.alembic_export() function is deprecated, and will be removed from
Blender 2.8 in favour of calling the bpy.ops.wm.alembic_export() operator.
As such, it has been hard-coded to the old background job behaviour.
The export is still slower than needed, as the particle systems themselves
aren't disabled during the export. It's only the writing to the Alembic
file that's skipped.
Curve resolution isn't natively supported by Alembic, hence it is stored
in a user property "blender:resolution". I've looked at a Maya curves
example file, but that also didn't contain any information about curve
resolution.

The order number written to Alembic is the same as we use in memory, so
the +1 wasn't needed, at least according to the reference Maya exporter
maya/AbcExport/MayaNurbsCurveWriter.cpp, function
MayaNurbsCurveWriter::write(), in the Alembic source code.
Furthermore, when writing an array of nurb orders, the curve type should
be set to kVariableOrder, otherwise the importer will ignore it.
This test checks that a set of cubes are exported with the correct
transform, both with flatten=True and flatten=False.
This commit also adds an easy to use superclass for upcoming Alembic
unit tests.
The absence of datablock properties "will certainly be resolved soon as the need for them is becoming obvious" said the [[http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.67/Python_Nodes|Python Nodes release notes]]. So this patch allows Python scripts to create ID Properties which reference datablocks.
This functionality is implemented for `PointerProperty` and now such properties can be created with Python.
In addition to the standard update callback, `PointerProperty` can have a `poll` callback (standard RNA) which is useful for search menus. For details see the test included in this patch.

This is to be used from the Outliner, when dragging and dropping
collections from the Active Render Layer
It also includes a cleanup on the outliner so it calls the new
functions. Note: the outliner still needs fix to allow all the
functionality here exposed.
But this will be tackled by Julian Eisel later.
