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:Aligorith/GSoC2013_Depsgraph#Design_Documents
* 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 :)
framing method instead of the Frenet frame.
The Frenet frame is very succeptible to sudden twists along straight
sections of a curve where the second derivative (curvature) becomes 0.
Lattice deformation used to store some runtime data
inside of lattice datablock itself. It's something
which is REALLY bad. Ideally DNA shouldn't contain
and runtime data.
For now solved it in a way that initialization of
lattice deform will create a structure which contains
lattice object for which deformation is calculating
and that runtime data which used to be stored in
lattice datablock itself.
It works really fine for mesh deform modifier, but
there's still runtime data stored in particle system
DNA, It didn't look something easy to be solved, so
leaving this as-is for now.

many modifiers were calculating normals, when those normals were ignored by the next modifier.
now flag normals as dirty and recalculate for modifiers that set use `dependsOnNormals()` callback.
Quick test on mesh with 12 modifiers (mostly build type), calculated normals 6 times, now it only runs once - so this will give some speedup too.
A previous bugfix disabled the dynamic paint modifier for orco texture
coordinate evaluation of the modifier stack. However the MOD_APPLY_USECACHE
flag is not a good way to check if the modifier is evaluated for orcos.
Instead I've added a MOD_APPLY_ORCO flag. Also removed a bunch of
applyModifierEM callbacks, none of them served a purpose except for the
subsurf modifier.
generator with a local one. It's not thread safe and will not give repeatable
results, so in most cases it should not be used.
Also fixes#34992 where the noise texture of a displacement modifier was not
properly random in opengl animation render, because the seed got reset to a
fixed value by an unrelated function while for final render it changed each
frame.
The issue here is that the particle instance modifier (pimd) accesses data from the linked particle system modifier (psmd). This data is only correctly generated when the psmd is enabled; here the design violates the modifier principle of providing valid object data (or rather DM) even when disabled.
The solution in this case is to make a custom isDisabled check for the pimd to see if the psmd is enabled. This means the pimd won't work for disabled psmd, but doesn't crash.
vertices. Previously it would hide particles by creating invalid faces, but this
didn't make the vertices actually disappear.
Also found that it could generated corrupt geometry for cases with faces, which
gave wrong subsurf and could crash in edit mode.
most local modifier,GPU,ImBuf and Interface functions are now static.
also fixed an error were the fluid modifier definition and the header didnt have the same number of args.
Used a crazyspace approach (like in edit mode), but only modifiers with
deformMatricies are allowed atm (currently shapekeys and armature modifiers only).
All the rest modifiers had an warning message that they aren't applied because
of sculpt mode. Deformation of multires is also unsupported.
With all this restictions users will always see the actual "layer" (or maybe
mesh state would be more correct word) they are sculpting on.
Internal changes:
- All modifiers could have deformMatricies callback (the same as deformMatriciesEM but
for non-edit mode usage)
- Added function to build crazyspace for sculpting (sculpt_get_deform_matrices), but it
could be generalized for usage in other painting modes (particle edit mode, i.e)
Todo:
- Implement crazyspace correction to support all kinds of deformation modifiers
- Maybe deformation of multires isn't so difficult?
- And maybe we could avoid extra bad-level-stub for ED_sculpt_modifiers_changed
without code duplicating?
