Stephan Bergmann a8485d558f [API CHANGE] Remove deprecated idlc and regmerge from the SDK 
* Client code must replace uses of idlc and regmerge with uses of unoidl-write,
  see the changes to odk/examples/ and ure/source/uretext/ in
  40f2aee658 "Provide unoidl-write also for the
  SDK" for examples.

* The new types.rdb format is not compatible with LibreOffice < 4.1.  Clients
  generating extensions containing such files are advised to use appropriate
  LibreOffice-minimal-version elements.

* For compatibility with old extensions, reading the legacy types.rdb format is
  still supported.

* The SDK no longer ships an idl/ sub-directory containing the udkap and offapi
  .idl files (as, unlike idlc, unoidl-write does not need them).
  odk/config/cfgWin.js had to be adapted to look (somewhat arbitrarily) for an
  examples/ sub-directory instead of idl/ when checking for "an sdk folder".
  gb_UnoApi_package_idlfiles became unused and has been removed.

* The idlc and regmerge executables have been removed.  Module idlc has been
  removed except for idlc/test/parser/, which is also used by
  CustomTarget_unoidl/unoidl-write_test, and which may eventually be moved into
  module unoidl.  Module external/ucpp and the corresponding configure options
  have also been removed.

LibreOffice API IDL Files Except UDK API

Contains all of the IDL files except those in udkapi.

i.e. the interfaces that are specific to the LibreOffice application. An artificial (?) separation.

The reference offapi/type_reference/offapi.idl and udkapi/type_reference/udkapi.idl (formerly combined into a single offapi/type_reference/types.rdb) are used to detect inadvertent incompatible changes. They are plain-text .idl files (not strictly lexicographically sorted, though, so they satisfy the .idl file requirements for no forward dependencies), so in cases where we deliberately /do/ become incompatible they can be modified manually.

Old such cases of deliberately becoming incompatible are listed in offapi/type_reference/typelibrary_history.txt, newer such cases are recorded in the git logs of (now superseded) offapi/type_reference/types.rdb, offapi/type_reference/offapi.rdb, and udkapi/type_reference/udkapi.rdb, new such cases are recorded in the git logs of offapi/type_reference/offapi.idl and udkapi/type_reference/udkapi.idl.
