Transforms to Delta Transforms

* Added new operators to take the current transform value (loc/rot/scale or all 3)
  and convert/apply that transform to a corresponding delta transform value. By default,
  the transform value will be zeroed out again afterwards, so you don't end up with a
  double transform.

* These operators can be found in the "Apply" menu (Ctrl-A)

* The "Animated Transforms to Deltas" (which does a similar job, except it adjusts all
  existing animation data instead of the current transform) has also been moved to the
  Apply menu (it was in the Transform menu instead)
