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).
Pass distance argument so its possible to limit the range we get all hits from.
Other changes:
- Use boundbox test before calling callback, avoids redundant calls.
- Remove meaningless return value.
- Add doc string, explaining purpose of this function.
Request by Andy, should help him a lot doing weird and wonderful hair styles.
A bit experimental yet, details of behavior might be changed after some real
usage feedback.
It also fixes another issue (crash) related to symmetric editing.
Quite involved, we (try to!) fix complete broken logic of parts of particle code, which would use poly index
as tessface one (or vice-versa). Issue most probably goes back to BMesh integration time...
This patch mostly fixes particle editing mode:
- Adding/removing particles when using generative modifiers (like subsurf) should now work.
- Adding/removing particles with a non-tessellated mesh (i.e. one having ngons) should also mostly work.
- X-axis-mirror-editing particles over ngons does not really work, not sure why currently.
- All this in both 'modes' (with or without using modifier stack for particles).
Tech side:
- Store a deformed-only DM in particle modifier data.
- Rename existing DM to make it clear it's a final one.
- Use deformed-only DM's tessface2poly mapping to 'solve' poly/tessface mismatches.
- Make (part of) mirror-editing code able to use a DM instead of raw mesh, so that we can mirror based on final DM
when editing particles using modifier stack (mandatory, since there is no way currently to find orig tessface
from an final DM tessface index).
Note that this patch is not really nice and clean (current particles are beyond hope on this side anyway),
it's more like some urgency bandage. Whole crap needs complete rewrite anyway,
BMesh's polygons make it really hard to work with current system (and looptri would not help much here).
Also, did not test everything possibly affected by those changes, so it needs some users' testing & validation too.

another, including edit data (grooming).
This uses basically the same method as the existing connect/disconnect
feature. The main difference is that it allows working with multiple
objects and transferring the //particle/hair data// instead of the
//mesh// data (which is what connect/disconnect expects). This is a much
more realistic workflow when rigging, topology etc. changes and
groomed hair has to be transferred to the changed model.
shape instead of a brush tool.
The brush cutting tool for hair, while useful, is not very accurate and
often requires rotating the model constantly to get the right trimming
on every side. This makes adjustments to a hair shape a very tedious
process.
On the other hand, making proxy meshes for hair shapes is a common
workflow. The new operator allows using such rough meshes as boundaries
for hair. All hairs that are outside the shape mesh are removed, while
those cutting it at some length are shortened accordingly.
The operator can be accessed in the particle edit mode toolbar via the
"Shape Cut" button. The "Shape Object" must be set first and stays
selected as a tool setting for repeatedly applying the shape.
In rB78c491e the `initialize_particle` function was split into 2 parts for particle texture initialization.
The texture init part however also initializes birth times, which is now missing in the main init function
in some cases (notably when setting start/end directly without a subsequent time step).
Issue here is complex (Of course, this is particles!)
First issue is that use_modifier_stack will use the num parameter of the
particles instead of num_dmcache, something the brush code did not
account for at all. Now correctly set DMCACHE_ISCHILD in that case.
Second issue is that make_derived_deform will return a mesh with less
indices than the particle system derived mesh. This would mean that
subsequent sampling of the particle derived mesh to initialize the
particles woould also produce garbage. This was being done for
optimization but in that case it broke the system.

Root of the issue goes to the order of particle initialization which does
texture evaluation (which does depend on particle coordinate) and particle
birth coordinate calculation. So basically what happened is:
* Changing number of particles re-allocated all the particles,
which sets their coordinate to (0,0,0)
* Texture evaluation used this non-initialized coordinate
* Coordinates were calculated for particles
Reshuffled code a bit so now texture evaluation happens after particles.
coordinate calculation. Basically moved texture evaluation to particle
reset function. Reset happens after initialization anyway and it does
know particle coordinates. Also, if reset is being called without init
then it's also kind of logical to re-evaluate texture because particle
coordinates might change.
Resetting the particle system without losing edit undo is not so easy. Just added a confirm message for now to warn user about loss of particle edit undo.
this was only done in some cases before and it was possible to enable weightpaint+sculpt at the same time when enabling sculpt by directly running the mode switching operator.
add generic function to ensure a compatible mode before entering the new mode (added to each operators exec function)
