The issue was introduced by the optimization of hidden objects and modifiers
in the f12f7800c2.
The solution here detects that either an object is hidden or the modifier is
disabled and does special tricks to ensure the dependencies are evaluated.
This is done by constructing a separate minimal dependency graph needed for
the object on which the modifier is being applied on. This minimal dependency
graph will not perform visibility optimization, making it so modifier
dependencies are ensured to be evaluated.
The downside of such approach is that some dependencies which are not needed
for the modifier are still evaluated. There is no currently an easy way to
avoid this. At least not without introducing possible race conditions with
other dependency graphs.
If the performance of applying modifiers in such cases becomes a problem the
possible solution would be to create a temporary object with a single modifier
so that only minimal set of dependencies is pulled in the minimal dependency
graph.

The issue was caused by the fact that objects with driven or animated
visibility were considered visible by the dependency graph evaluation.
This change makes it so the dependency graph evaluation is aware of
visibility which might be changing. This is achieved by evaluating the
path of the graph which affects objects visibility and adjusts to it
before evaluating the rest of the graph.
There is some time penalty to this, but there does not seem to be a
way to fully avoid this penalty.
With the production shot from the heist project the FPS drops by a
tenth of a frame (~9.4 vs ~9.3 fps) when adding a driver to an object
which keeps it visible. Note that this is a bit hard to measure since
the FPS fluctuates quite a bit throughout the playback. On the other
hand, having a driver on a visibility of a heavy object from character
and setting visibility to false gives big speedup.
Also worth noting that there is no penalty at all when there are no
animated visibilities in the scene.

In this bug report it resulted in rendering animations stopping too early,
but this affected more areas.
After the previous cleanup commit, it becomes clear that frame and ctime
values were mixed up.
Confusingly, BKE_scene_frame_get did not match the frame number as expected by
BKE_scene_frame_set. Instead it return the value after time remapping, which
is commonly named "ctime".
* Rename BKE_scene_frame_get to BKE_scene_ctime_get
* Add a new BKE_scene_frame_get that matches BKE_scene_frame_set
* Use int/float depending if fractional frame is expected
Delay depsgraph visibility update tagging until it is known that
graph relations are up to date, and until it is known that the graph
is actually needed to be evaluated.

For Cycles, when enabling the Persistent Data option, the full render data
will be preserved from frame-to-frame in animation renders and between
re-renders of the scene. This means that any modifier evaluation, BVH
building, OpenGL vertex buffer uploads, etc, can be done only once for
unchanged objects. This comes at an increased memory cost.
Previously there option was named Persistent Images and had a more limited
impact on render time and memory.
When using multiple view layers, only data from a single view layer is
preserved to keep memory usage somewhat under control. However objects
shared between view layers are preserved, and so this can speedup such
renders as well, even single frame renders.
For Eevee and Workbench this option is not available, however these engines
will now always reuse the depsgraph for animation and multiple view layers.
This can significantly speed up rendering.
These engines do not support sharing the depsgraph between re-renders, due
to technical issues regarding OpenGL contexts. Support for this could be added
if those are solved, see the code comments for details.
Technically, the crash was caused by revert which happened in
rBcd24712c2c5: it reverted some code which is essential for
rB76fd41e9db1.
Bring back the essential code for the removal of un-needed
Copy-on-Write operations, so that the crash doesn't happen.
What was causing the crash is the ID tag assuming Copy-on-Write
operation always exists.
Revert "Fix T83411: Crash when using a workspace/layout data path in a driver"
The fix for the crash exposed design violation in the viewport shading updates,
which is for some reason relying on dependency graph tag of interface data.
The viewport module did not respond to the issue in 2 weeks, and the architect
considered missing update for multiple users a more serious issue than a crash
in a very specific case.
This reverts commit 0f95f51361.
Building IDs which are not covered by copy-on-write process was not
implemented, which was causing parameters block not present, and, hence
causing crashes in areas which expected parameters to present.
First part of this change is related on making it so Copy-on-Write is
optional for ID nodes in the dependency graph.
Second part is related on using a generic builder for all ID types
which were not covered by Copy-on-Write before.
The final part is related on making it so build_id() is properly
handling ParticleSettings and Grease Pencil Data. Before they were not
covered there at all, and they need special handling because they do
have own build functions.
Not sure it worth trying to split those parts, as they are related to
each other and are not really possible to be tested standalone. Open
for a second opinion though.
Possible nut-tightening is to re-organize build_id() function so
that every branch does return and have an assert at the end, so that
missing ID type in the switch statement is easier to spot even when
using compilers which do not report missing switch cases.
As for question "why not use default" the answer is: to make it more
explicit and clear what is a decision when adding new ID types. We do
not want to quietly fall-back to a non-copy-on-write case for a newly
added ID types.

This reverts {rB1693a5efe91999b60b3dc0bdff727473b3bd00bb}

The old patch had the problem that the depsgraph would always
evaluate at the current frame of the original scene (even when
`DEG_evaluate_on_framechange` was used). Now it is possible
to evaluate the depsgraph at a specific frame without having to
change the original scene.

Surrounding includes with an 'extern "C"' block is not necessary anymore.
Also that made it harder to add any C++ code to some headers, or include headers
that have "optional" C++ code like `MEM_guardedalloc.h`.
I tested compilation on linux and windows (and got help from @LazyDodo).
If this still breaks compilation due to some linker error, the header containing
the symbol in question is probably missing an 'extern "C"' block.

Currently unused, but will allow to keep of an owner of the depsgraph.
Could also simplify other APIs in the future by avoiding to pass bmain
explicitly to relation update functions and things like that.
Current frame is stored in a scene, and scene might have multiple view
layers. The inactive view layers were not informed about scene's frame
being changed, so when user switched back to view after changing scene
frame it was in an inconsistent state between current scene frame and
animation.
Now we tag scene for time changes, so dependency graph can catch up
and do proper update.
Currently tagging is from quite generic place. Probably better approach
would be to tag from where frame is actually being assigned. Downside
of this is that it's easy to miss some places.

Fix for GPencil and Cycles Render draw type. GPencil objects were only
shown when overlays were turned on. The cause of this is an
optimization we did to not populate any draw engine when an
external renderer was used with overlays turned off.
This will check if there is any visible GPencil object in the scene. if
so it will still perform the loop.
`DEG_id_type_any_exists` can check if any object of a certain type_id is in the
result. This check is also being used to check if there are any
visible grease pencil objects as a precheck in `DRW_render_check_grease_pencil`.

This change makes it so a minimal dependency graph which only includes
compositor and sequencer is built for the render pipeline purposes.
Tricky part here is that it's only compositor itself and sequencer who
to use this dependency graph and IDs from it. Render engines are still
to be provided original IDs because:
- They will create dependency graph for the given scene, and currently
it is not possible to create dependency graph from CoW scene.
- IDs from the compositor/sequencer dependency graph are "stripped",
as in, they wouldn't have all view layers, collections or objects
required for proper final render.
This creates annoying mess of mixing evaluated and original scene
access in various parts of the pipeline.
