Problem switching animations in multiple skeletons

mlecce

When you have multiple animations in multiple skeletons, you cannot always switch between them using the animations view.

Reproduction steps:

1) Create a new file
2) Make a trivial key frame (i.e. move the root bone to the right on frame 20)
3) Create a second skeleton (skeleton2), can be done by copying the original skeleton.
4) You should now be selected on "skeleton2" in the animations view, select "skeleton" from the drop down. The last animation position that you were on will be selected in the view, however, a matching one will not be in the dopesheet. You cannot select the animation from the Animations view, it will be stuck on the previous one (i.e. skeleton 2: animation).

The dopesheet doesn't use the Animations view to decide which skeleton to show. When a project has multiple skeletons, the dopesheet contents behaves slightly differently from normal. Instead of showing all rows when nothing is selected, it shows all rows of the last selected skeleton(s) (assuming the dopesheet is unlocked). It can even show multiple skeletons if you have something selected in both:

This also shows the cool new skeleton separator we have in the tree in 3.6. 🙂

I suppose we could make the Animations view change the dopesheet contents to the selected skeleton, but only if nothing is selected (else the dopesheet will show the timelines for the skeleton which has something selected (unless the dopesheet is locked of course)).
