Get rid of legacy drawing, it's only used for selection,
in which case we can prepare a temporary color buffer and draw
at once. Code is not complete here because we still redundantly
set the draw color in the draw function and don't ommit hidden
faces automatically. Still it works 100% without immediate mode
now.
This patch changes the way we draw meshes by introducing
indexed drawing. This makes it possible to easily
upload and rearrange faces ad lib according to any criteria.
Currently we use material sorting but textured sorting and
hiding will be added to optimize textured drawing and skip
per face testing.
It also adds support for vertex buffers for subsurf
modifiers (Except from GLSL drawing), making drawing of
subsurf much faster without need for bogus modifiers.
Tests show that we gain approximately 20-25% performance
by that for solid mode drawing with up to 50% gains for
material drawing. Textured drawing should also have a
small performance gain, but more substantial optimizations
are possible there.

We really don't need to iterate all edges of the mesh every frame to
search for loose edges, this calculation can be cached when filling the
edge index buffer.
Basically this commit gets rid of most of the derived mesh immediate mode
drawing (cases such as subsurf excluded). Even when VBO is turned off
in user preferences, we still use vertex arrays, which are very similar to
VBOs but memory is client side. Vertex arrays are OpenGL 1.1 so compatibility
is not an issue here.

Yep, at last it's here!
There are a few minor issues remaining but development can go on in
master after discussion at blender institute.

Thanks to Sergey and Campbell for the extensive review and to the
countless artists that have given their input and reported issues during
development.
Avoid filling up buffers when total buffer triangles are zero.
Better still would be to tag a node as hidden when doing recreation of
the PBVH tree by checking for any visible elements. Original bug report
probably has to do with OpenGL doing something funky but hidden nodes
should be tagged as hidden to completely avoid iterating for painting.
This is to be done in a later commit.
Also some naming cleanup for consistency, GPU_build_pbvh_mesh_buffers to
GPU_build_mesh_pbvh_buffers.
Issue here is that "show diffuse" option does not respect its intended
purpose which is to be used only for masking.
There are a couple of caveats here:
Dyntopo and multires -always- have mask data enabled, and thus as soon
as one goes to dyntopo mode or adds a multires modifier he would get the
default grey color instead.
Matcaps would break when nodes asked for a diffuse material color (this
was broken before too). Solved by adding global material state for when
matcaps are enabled. Also matcaps don't always played well with VBOs
off.
Added a few more missing updates for mask operators to notify
show_diffuse property as changed. This was also needed on rebuilding
dyntopo pbvh.
Also make zero mask color duller again after artist feedback.
Was marked as a todo in the code.
This does not yet take care of correct display for multi material
meshes, since it would need correct separation of faces during pbvh
creation. Instead we just take material of first face in node and assume
that the rest faces have the same. This will create some funky effects
if one attempts to sculpt in this way.
Note: This does not yet address T39517
after objects are deleted until another big object is added. There's no good reason
to do this, or to think that our pool is somehow much faster than using the OpenGL
API to allocate and free buffers.
This adds an override to the CDDM edge drawing function that switches
to GPU_Buffers drawing for PBVHes of type PBVH_BMESH.
Within the GPU_Buffers code, glPolygonMode() is used to draw lines
instead of faces.
The GPU interface for PBVH drawing gets a new pair of build/update
buffers functions for drawing BMFaces and BMVerts.
TODO: the diffuse color is hardcoded to 0.8 gray rather than using
material color.
TODO: only VBO drawing is implemented, no immediate mode.
Refactoring of draw code showed another problem: The MCol we want to draw may change without dm rebuild (e.g. when enabling solid textured option)! Also, choosing which MCol layer to use in GPU code is stupid, different draw modes use different layers/order of precedence!
Solved this by adding a new colType parameter to GPU_color_setup, and removing any 'color choosing' code from gpu_buffers.c.
Appart from the color glitch, there was several problems with vpaint:
* "fast_update" mode was never on, because of wrong testing code;
* drawing refresh during stroke in "fast_update" (i.e. no dm rebuild) mode was broken in VBO mode, because updated (tess data) mcol wasn't moved to colors GPUBuffer.
Solved the later point by adding a new DM_DIRTY_MCOL_UPDATE_DRAW flag to DerivedMesh dirty var, which is set each time vpaint stroke directly update me->mcol, and forces GPU_color_setup() to refresh the gpu's colors buffer.
Also got rid of the uggly GPU_color3_upload(), which basically did the same thing, but with an additional intermediate buffer !
Added option to display object's diffuse color multiplied by sculpting
mask. This option could be found in Options panel of toolshelf when in
sculpting mode.
Thanks to Nicholas and Brecht for reviewing the patch!
This changes are not stable enough and trying fix it could backfire in some
other regressions which isn't wanted so much close to the release.
This means objects will have gray color as diffuse which becomes darker in
masked areas for 2.64.
Proper fix is aimed for 2.65.
This commit reverts 50827 and 50898.
It was missing since sculpting mask implementation.
Now object's color would be multiplied by sculpt mask value.
For VBOs it's done by storing final color in VertexBufferFormat and
mimic behavior of setMaterial callback for getting current diffuse
color.
For non-VBOs diffuse color is getting from current OpenGL context.
This is the last commit of the sculpt masking merge. Documentation:

Thanks to Brecht for reviewing!
* For VBO, add color to the VertexBufferFormat structure as three
unsigned bytes. Since mask elements are scalar the three color
components are identical to eachother, but the fixed-function OpenGL
pipeline requires colors to be either three or four components.
* For the same reason, multires VBO drawing now copies into the
VertexBufferFormat format as well.
* Regression: material colors will not show up correctly now, masks
colors are overriding. Not sure how to fix this nicely (would be
much easier to fix if drawing with vertex shaders.)
* Also, masks will only draw PBVH drawing, so only 'solid' drawing
will work correctly with masks.
* Changes to DerivedMesh interface: DMGridData has been removed,
getGridData() now returns an array of CCGElem pointers. Also added
getGridKey() to initialize a CCGKey (implemented only by
CCGDerivedMesh.)
* PBVH: added BLI_pbvh_get_grid_key().
* A lot of code is affected, but mainly is just replacing
DMGridData.co, DMGridData.no, and sizeof(DMGridData) with the
CCG_*_elem functions, removing the reliance on grid elements of
exactly six floats.
Previously, the shading and material was set once per PBVHNode when
drawing. This is still the case, but PBVHNodes are now built to
contain only one material and shading mode.
This is done with an extra partitioning step; once the number of
primitives in the node falls below the PBVH leaf limit, it's
primitives are checked for matching materials. If more than one
material or shading mode is present in the node, it is split and
partitioned (partitioned by material rather than 3D location.)
Given a sufficiently 'annoying' input, like a dense mesh with
thousands of materials randomly scattered across it, this could
greatly increase PBVH build time (since nodes might end up containing
a single primitive), but in general this shouldn't come up.
In order to support materials for grids, the CCGDM is building another
grid array (of DMFaceMat structs). This could be used to replace
CCGDM.faceFlag for some small memory savings (TODO).
added some missing functions too - which are not used yep but should be there for api completeness.
* CDDM_set_mloop
* CDDM_set_mpoly
* BLI_mempool_count
At the point where GPU_build_mesh_buffers is called, the
face_vert_indices map has already been built; it contains the same
data in an easier-to-access format.
As with multires, this change calculates face normals rather than
using vertex normals when the node is flat-shaded.
Flat-shading with VBO on non-multires meshes is still wrong, but
fixing that would require larger changes to our vertex buffers.

This patch attempts to clean up and document the GPU buffers
code. There are a few bug fixes as well.
Patch reviewed here: http://codereview.appspot.com/4631052/
Summary:
* Bugfix: make GPU_buffer_copy_normal convert from shorts to floats
correctly, also fixed the use of cached face normal CustomData.
* Bugfix: changed the `mat_nr' field of GPUBufferMaterial from char to
short.
* Changed color buffer setup to not alloc a temporary copy of color
data, just passes the MCol data in directly.
* Changed the GPU buffer pool code to make clearer what operates
specifically on the global pool.
* Lots of refactoring for GPU_drawobject_new; should operate mostly
the same (except got rid of one unecessary allocation), just split
into more functions and without macros now.
* Converted some #defines into enumerations.
* Made some stuff private, pulled out of header file.
* Deleted unused function GPU_buffer_pool_free_unused().
* Removed GPU_interleaved_setup and related #defines. (I think this
was used for editmode VBOs, but those were disabled.)
* Added lots of comments.
* Added a few comments in the code signed `--nicholas' to note places
where I am unsure about design or usage, would be good to address
these better.
* Code formatting changed to be more consistent with the rest of
Blender.
* Renamed some fields and variables to be more consistent with
Blender's naming conventions.
* Renamed some fields and variables to use more descriptive names,
e.g. renamed `redir' to `mat_orig_to_new'.
* Removed print outs with DEBUG_VBO -- don't feel too strongly about
this one, just not used elsewhere in Blender, could be easily added
back if others disagree though.
* Moved the PBVH drawing code down to the bottom of the file, before
was sitting in the middle of the other VBO code
