The dependency graph has to know whether a driver must be re-evaluated
every frame due to a dependency on the current frame number. For python
drivers it was using a heuristic based on searching for certain sub-
strings in the expression, notably including '('.
When the expression is actually evaluated using Python, this can't be
easily improved; however if the Simple Expression evaluator is used,
this check can be done precisely by accessing the parsed data.

It was printing "frame" time instead of FPS.
Other interesting thing to get solved is to solve "drop" in FPS
when there is an idle time in user input.
Current usecase is limited to observing FPS when there is a continuous
stream of events: for example, keep moving vertex in edit mode while
watching debug prints.
The FPS here is measured based on a timestamp from when depsgraph
was previously evaluated.
Allows to ease investigating performance improvements/regressions
which are not related on animation system but on modifications on
a single frame (such as transforming vertex in edit mode).
When there are ID properties on an object, and these are animated and
used by a driver, the depsgraph has proper connections between ACTION →
ID PROPERTY → DRIVER.
When these properties are defined on a mesh, however, the depsgraph
relations are incorrectly created between GEOMETRY → PROPERTIES_EXIT →
DRIVER (because it's assumed that 'source = ENTRY' implies 'geometry').
This patch solves this by first checking whether the targeted property
is an ID property and handling it accordingly. This also made it
possible to remove some special cases from pose bone relations.

FreeStyle line styles were not part of the dependency graph, and
blacklisted from the Copy-on-Write system. As a result, animated
FreeStyle properties would not be updated by the animation system,
resulting in T72213. There was an explicit call to run the animation
system on the original datablocks, but that was (for good reasons)
removed in D5394.
This commit adds the FreeStyleLineStyle datablocks to the dependency
graph and allows them to be handled by the CoW system. As a result
- the UI now updates properly when properties are animated, and
- animated property values are actually used when rendering.
This commit includes @Sergey's patch P1222, which unifies two bits of
code that did the same thing: check whether datablock type is covered by
copy-on-write.

Was caused by recent animation backup added to depsgraph as a part of
another bugfix.
This commit effectively disables the animation backup, restoring bug
related on handlers, but makes it possible to interact with objects
again.
Will re-iterate over handlers+animated properties.
It was possible to have object copy-on-write happening during
action's copy-on-write, which was causing access to a freed
memory from animation backup.
Solves crash reported in T73029.
The issue was caused by special handling of animation update after
manual edits in frame_post handler: to avid loss of manual edits
done on top of animated property. This was done as a separate pass
for non-animation update after frame_post did modifications.
This caused some other side-effect: non-modified animated property
was re-setting to the value which is used in the viewport.
Idea of this solution is simple: preserve values which came from
animation update through copy-on-write process. The actual process
of this is a bit involved: need to decode RNA path and do it twice
since f-curve might point to a sub-data which pointer will change.
Since this is only done for non-active depsgraph (aka depsgraph
used for render pipeline) this is probably fine since all this
extra overhead is just a fraction of overall render process.

This commit restores old metaball workaround which was forcing their
update from a single thread.
The root of the issue comes to the fact that metaball evaluation needs
to access metaballs from duplilists, so they are properly polygonized
with corresponding motherball which is outside of duplilist.
In a more ideal world this will be implemented in a way that will not
require iterating over all duplilists, but only through the ones which
actually contain metaballs for the given motherball. In practice this
ends up in a huge refactor in both relations builder (which meeds to
see whether there are metaballs in duplilists without actually
creating duplilist as it can not be done prior scene is evaluated)
and in metaballs area which need to use new relations information.
Additionally, metaball evaluation must become thread-safe, which is
currently not a case with dupli-object matrices. There might be issues
deeper in polygonization code which I am not aware of.
Having this forced single-thread evaluation is same as Blender 2.79
was doing.
Think it's better to have slower but simpler solution than to invest
time in refactoring area which requires deeper design changes.

Remove this pointer since it's linking Mesh data back to the object,
where a single edit-mesh may have multiple object users,

Resolves dangling pointer part of the T72667 crash,
although there are other issues which still need to be fixed.
In EDBM_op_finish and EDBM_update_generic,
full Main lookups have been added which should be replaced with mesh

Was caused by 6183688c35 (thanks ronsn for nailing it down!).
The issue is that order of copy-on-write operations is not defined, so
can not use flags set by that operation to make decision.
A collection of smaller changes that are required in the /blender/source files. A lot of them are also due to variable renaming.

It is possible to have action which is not nullptr but which have no
f-curves in it (for example, animate cube's location, then delete all
f-curves).
Such situation should not add time dependency as it could slow down
scene evaluation on frame change.
Was cause by recent fix for T65134 which assigned original object's
proxy_from to an evaluated pointer.
This is because motion path depsgraph does not include proxies, so
the pointer in an evaluated object was kept pointing to an original
object.
It is not allowed to do tagging or updates while dependency graph is
in the middle of evaluation.
This is something what is simple to violate from python code. This
change adds some sanity checks.
The request to update view layer or dependency graph will raise an
exception in Python now, so it's easy for scripters to notice.
Tagging for update will do silent return unless running with debug
command line argument. This is because it's a bit tricky to know
which exact dependency graph corresponds to a context from which
an update tag was triggered.

Users now can turn on in a viewport collections that are temporarily
hidden (eye) in the view layer.
Design task: T61327
As for the implementation, I had to decouple the visibility in the
depsgraph from the visibility in the view layer.
Also there is a "bug" that in a way was there before which is some
operators (e.g., writing a text inside of a text object, tab into edit
mode) run regardless of the visibility of the active object. The bug was
present already (with object type visibility restriction) in 2.80 so if
we decide to tackle it, can be done separately (I have a patch for it
though P1132).

Found this while looking into T70463, solves the high spinning times
mentioned in T70463#791026.
Sounds logical that iterating over an array to modify a single property
is faster than doing it in threads. But strangely, doing it for both
nodes and its components is still faster in threads here.
Gives extra speedup with a file mentioned in the report.
