* Added a couple of utility macros to help with the conversion. lit() is
paired with tr() for untranslated text.
* QFormatStr is more explicitly for non-textual formatting strings.
* Both are just #define'd to QStringLiteral()
* 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.

* 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.
* 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.
* Unfortunately scintilla assumes its headers are all in the search path
so where possible we only add those folders when compiling scintilla
source, not our own.
* Certain panels like BufferViewer assume there is a current drawcall
at startup and not an invalid event ID like 0. Normally the event
browser is loaded first and sets the event ID, but if it's later in
the list this will break.
Currently, selecting an event with children (e.g. vkCmdExecuteCommands)
in the event browser will cause the API inspector window to show the
final child event, rather than the event itself. This behaviour makes
sense everywhere else: selecting an event with children shows the state
after all children have completed.
However, for the API inspector, we want to be able see API calls for
the parent event when it is selected rather than those of its last
child, particularly in the case of vkCmdExecuteCommands which may have
other API calls leading up to it.
To allow this, distinguish between the "current event" and "selected
event". For an event with children, the former refers to the last
child, while the latter refers to the event itself. ILogViewerForm now
has two separate event callbacks for when either one changes.
The API inspector now makes use of the selected event, while everything
else continues to use the current event.
