The current C callback functions are too simple allow a straightforward implementation, in particular they don't receive the PropertyRNA pointer itself as an argument, which means the callback cannot directly access the PropertyRNA's py_data pointers which store the python function objects. For this reason a second runtime variant of these callbacks has been added. It is only used for runtime callbacks and not in makesrna, but otherwise works the same way.
When this new subtypes is used, then string of property is hidden using
asterisks, e.g.: mysecretpassword -> ****************
This code was reviewed and modified by Brecht. Thanks very much:

This new subtype of string property is intended mostly for Add-on developers
writing Add-on which communicates with some server (http, sql, ftp, verse,
etc.). When this server requires user authentication and user has to type
username and password, then current API didn't allow to type 'hidden' password,
e.g. when you want to demonstrate this script, then everybody can see this
security password. Some examples of Add-on which could use this new subtype:
- On-line database of textures
- Integration of render farm
- Integration of Verse
Security Notes:
- You can copy paste hiddent string of property from text input using (Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V),
but you can do this in other GUI toolkits too (this behavior it is widely used).
- Text of string property is stored in plain text, but it is widely used in other
GUI toolkits (Qt, Gtk, etc.).
Simple examples:
- https://dl.dropbox.com/u/369894/draw_op_passwd.py
- https://dl.dropbox.com/u/369894/blender-password.png
use the same precision for location all over (2-5 was used), use define as 5.
also disallow boolean to have any subtype besides PROP_LAYER_MEMBER, some booleans had TRANSLATION / XYZ subtypes which don't make sense.
Operator descriptions can be NULL pointers,
fix this by making use of PROP_NEVER_NULL flag, when its not set, generated string funcs will test for NULL.
This branch adds mostly organizational improvements to the node system by renaming the node folders and files. A couple of internal features have been added too.

This means script authors can perform actions using these callbacks rather then on drawing which puts blender in a readonly state.
Simple example:
import bpy
def up_func(self, context):
print("test")
bpy.types.Scene.testprop = bpy.props.FloatProperty(update=up_func)
bpy.context.scene.testprop = 11
# prints -> test
- rename rna collection structs Main prefix to BlendData: eg, MainObjects --> BlendDataObjects
- printing python collection now prints its type (when available)
- renamed shadowed vars in bpy_rna.c.
- when making functions static I also made debugging/test functions static, reverse and add definitions to headers instead.
- rather then use unlink="None", just don't pass unlink as a keyword. This is more pythonic.
- added an RNA flag for properties which cant be unlinked by setting to None.
- Python calling operators didn't run WM_operator_properties_sanitize() so enum functions called from python were given a NULL context.
- PROP_ENUM_NO_CONTEXT and PROP_NEVER_NULL used the same value in the enum (possible conflict).
An example of how this is useful - an importer mixin could define the filepath properties and a generic invoke function which can run the subclasses exec for each selected file.
- Panels and Menus now skip the property check when registering.
- renamed _idproperties_ to _idprops_ in function names, function names were getting very long.
* Changed UI code to display image browser for PROP_IMAGEPATH
* Set the icon_filepath RNA property for brushes to use PROP_IMAGEPATH
* Changed preview icon drawing to ignore unset icons
* Fixed const warnings in brush RNA
- pose markers new/remove
- font load/remove
- world load/remove
- particles new/remove
commented out node-tree for now since from what I can tell these have to be atteched to material/scene/texture (unlike other ID types)
* Division by zero fix for TNT SVD code.
* Sound fix, in case ffmpeg decode fails, don't use the samples.
* Fix for incorrect bounds of transformed objects in new raytracing code.
* Gave memory arena's a name used for allocations for easier memory
usage debugging.
* Dupligroup no_draw option was using layers but not restrict view/render
setting. (not a bugfix exactly but would do display list context switching
while drawing for no reason).
* Fix objects instanced on hair particles not giving consistent results
when the object is transformed.
* New math functions: madd_v4_v4fl, len_squared_v3v3, interp_v4_v4v4v4,
mul_v4_m4v4, SH and form factor functions, box_minmax_bounds_m4.
* mul_m4_m4m4 and mul_m3_m3m3 now accept the same pointers for multiple
arguments.
* endjob callback for WM jobs system.
* Geometry node uv/color layer now has search list/autocomplete.
* Various small buildsystem tweaks, not strictly needed yet in trunk.
