Idea is to replace hard-to-track (id->lib != NULL) 'is linked datablock' check everywhere in Blender
by a macro doing the same thing. This will allow to easily spot those checks in future, and more importantly,
to easily change it (see work done in asset-engine branch).
Note: did not touch to readfile.c, since there most of the time 'id->lib' check actually concerns the pointer,
and not a check whether ID is linked or not. Will have a closer look at it later.

Replaces `G.is_rendering` with `use_render_params` argument.
This is needed for Cycles, which attempts to restore render-preview settings from particles,
after it gets its own particle data, but fails to restore because
`G.is_rendering` was being checked in psys_cache_paths (and other places).
Makes behavior of proxy_from backlink working similar to the old dependency graph.
it's nasty, but needed here in the studio to get proxies fixes ASAP.
- place return args last position
- move crazyspace function out of DerivedMesh header
- use bool for args
- flow control on own lines to ease debugging
It was possible that two threads will start calculating proxy group's inverted
matrix and store it in the object itself. This isn't good idea because it means
some threads might be using partially written matrix.
Previously it was very easy to run into situation when two objects are sharing
the same materials with drivers which will cause threading access issues.
This actually only needed for the old depsgraph, but since it's still the one
we're using by default we'd better solve this issue.
This commit integrates the work done so far on the new dependency graph system,
where goal was to replace legacy depsgraph with the new one, supporting loads of
neat features like:
- More granular dependency relation nature, which solves issues with fake cycles
in the dependencies.
- Move towards all-animatable, by better integration of drivers into the system.
- Lay down some basis for upcoming copy-on-write, overrides and so on.
The new system is living side-by-side with the previous one and disabled by
default, so nothing will become suddenly broken. The way to enable new depsgraph
is to pass `--new-depsgraph` command line argument.
It's a bit early to consider the system production-ready, there are some TODOs
and issues were discovered during the merge period, they'll be addressed ASAP.
But it's important to merge, because it's the only way to attract artists to
really start testing this system.
There are number of assorted documents related on the design of the new system:

* http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/DependencyGraph
There are also some user-related information online:

Kudos to everyone who was involved into the project:
- Joshua "Aligorith" Leung -- design specification, initial code
- Lukas "lukas_t" Toenne -- integrating code into blender, with further fixes
- Sergey "Sergey" "Sharybin" -- some mocking around, trying to wrap up the
project and so
- Bassam "slikdigit" Kurdali -- stressing the new system, reporting all the
issues and recording/writing documentation.
- Everyone else who i forgot to mention here :)
This commit only adds callbacks which then later be used with major dependency
graph commit, keeping the upcoming commit more clean to follow.
Should be no functional changes so far still.
Currently it is just moving existing functions into a new file,
but in the future those new files will be grown much more due
to upcoming more granular scene updates.
Should be no functional changes.
