Changelog

• Fine tuned how the memory slot behaves because it was a bit confusing. Now it always restores the saved setup instead of switching it with the current active setup. The current setup will be saved to a backup slot if it is not already stored in any memory slots (including the backup slot itself). When a save is done for the same setup as in the backup, the backup slot is then cleaned up and freed. Besides, when loading new camera or cleaning up all slots, the current state will get saved into the backup slot to help out the user that forgot to save it by her/him-self.
• New alternative operation mode for the Blink Meshes function, offering a three stages mode: Blink / Stop&hide / Unhide.
• Better handling of Remote Panel display when user has multiple screen areas opened or when editor screens are switched.
• Minor bug fixes for some BL_UI_Widgets components.
