* Tacking -official onto the git hash was a hack only needed on windows,
and since we want more information it doesn't scale.
* Instead we track anything we need to know about the version in
separate variables, like whether it's a stable build or a nightly/
local build. Or if it's built by a downstream distribution then the
version number for the downstream build.
* Since we're promoting everything, we reset the behaviour of
RDTreeWidget so that it's not doing anything different by default.
* RDTreeWidget's interface is a bit different, exposing some useful
things like a single selected item and so on.
* We also can't set columns in the Qt Creator UI anymore, so we set them
from code.
* We previously were only checking if all lookups had completed before
self-deleting, but we also need to make sure nothing externally is
still holding onto the dialog.
* This allows us to return complex types like byte arrays or pairs of
status & render handle.
* Also in future more introspection of the capture file will be possible
and this provides an easy extension to that without adding new entry
points.
* In python it's not as quick to get ~0U since ints aren't unsigned or
fixed size. Adding named constants makes it easier for people to use
the right values, and C++ users can still pass ~0U.
* Generally this means removing ref out parameters and instead returning
values. In a couple of cases we will want to avoid copies in future
either by returning const references (e.g. to the pipeline state which
is immutable).
* At the same time, some pointless bool return values that were always
true and didn't indicate errors have been removed. They can be added
again if an error condition comes back.
* Some free functions still have out parameters as C linkage doesn't
allow returning user types by value.
* The C# UI still invokes into C wrappers for all the C++ classes, which
handle taking the return value and doing a copy into an out parameter
still for compatibility.
* Note, this API is still in-flux and beta, so there may still be some
more changes before it's 'stable', and even then it will still be
subject to some amount of change.
* This API is then exposed to python via SWIG bindings and hides
internals that don't need to be visible, and means the actual API is
easier to work with.
* We also use this API to reduce inter-dependencies between different
windows that need to interact with each other at a high level.
* The naming is python/standard RenderDoc TitleCase method names, not
Qt style camelCase methods.

* Things like addressing modes, stencil operations, and other things the
UI didn't need to know about previously were only exposed as string
values to be passed through and displayed.
* Now we describe these with enums so the API can be properly
introspected and used by consumers that might want to know the actual
values of these states.
* This goes all the way back to the first iterations where these were
the only structures and 'Fetch' referred to them returning data from
the core code to the UI.
* Moving into a namespace makes it easier to give the structs non-clumsy
names while still being unique and not overlapping with the other API
pipeline states.
* This gives a little nicer syntax, a bit better type safety, and also
reflects better for SWIG bindings. Overall it's a minor change but
better.
* We don't update the C# UI at all, since it's soon to be removed and
not worth the effort/code churn.
* For now so we're ABI compatible with C#, all enums are uint32_t, but
that is an obvious optimisation in future to reduce struct packing.
* We avoid 'None' as an enum value, because it's a reserved word in
python so will cause problems generating bindings.
