* Added BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh, which can also be used outside of
Modifier context.
* BKE_modifier_get_evaluated_mesh_from_object is now a dummy wrapper
around BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh, we do not need anything special
anymore for RENDER quality option, since this is supposed to be handled
at depsgraph level... Maybe we can get rid of it at some point, but kind
of like the idea of keeping it for now, sounds more consitent.
* Always use BKE_id_new, unless you have a very good reason to use
lower-level code!
* Prefer to pass actual ID user pointer to functions like id_us_plus & co,
rather than 'floating' ID pointer, when possible. It makes it more clear
who is the user we increase count for!
Don't store pointers to ViewLayer in the workspace, only names. Add specific
relation type since the generic mechanism makes the code hard to follow.
Integrate with pointer restore for undo and library remapping code to avoid
data going out of sync.
Also add relation automatically if there doesn't exists one yet in
BKE_workspace_view_layer_get, because in general it's really hard to ensure
it will exist when making arbitrary scene changes.

This caused a glitch with COW, where forcing edge selection
caused the evaluated scene to enable this afterwards.
Now pass the selection mode as an argument to the draw function.
Note from revisor: Edit the error message to match the original one.

These needed to be using the COW evaluated data, instead of the raw bone
positions.
All other datatypes still need converting to work with this though.
The GPU kernel needs to use atomics for accumulation since all offsets are processed in
parallel, but on CPUs that's not the case, so we can disable them there for a considerable speedup.
This commit adds a new menu entry - "Edit Driver" - the RMB menu that
will show a popover panel displaying the settings for the driver you
activated the menu item on. This shows the popover panel defined in
yesterday's commit (GRAPH_PT_drivers_popover).
It is possible to edit the driver settings from this panel now.
However, do be warned that the functionality presented is highly
WIP still. There are some unresolved issues, such as:
- The popover disappears too easily on any mouse movements/clicks
on anything, making the panel less useful right now than it should.
- The layout still needs refining. Currently the layout that's there
is a bit of a placeholder until we can play around with it a bit
more to see/feel what feels good/right or what is too much.
- The "Open Drivers Editor" on the bottom of the panel doesn't work.
There are some tricky context tricky things that need to happen here
to make that case work, since the operator button won't have the necessary
context info.
The Math node currently has the normal atan() function, but for
actual angles this is fairly useless without additional nodes to handle the signs.
Since the node has two inputs anyways, it only makes sense to add an arctan2 option.

The implementation is pretty straightforward.
In Cycles, sampling the shapes is currently done w.r.t. area instead of solid angle.
There is a paper on solid angle sampling for disks [1], but the described algorithm is based on
simply sampling the enclosing square and rejecting samples outside of the disk, which is not exactly
great for Cycles' RNG (we'd need to setup a LCG for the repeated sampling) and for GPU divergence.
Even worse, the algorithm is only defined for disks. For ellipses, the basic idea still works, but a
way to analytically calculate the solid angle is required. This is technically possible [2], but the
calculation is extremely complex and still requires a lookup table for the Heuman Lambda function.
Therefore, I've decided to not implement that for now, we could still look into it later on.
In Eevee, the code uses the existing ltc_evaluate_disk to implement the lighting calculations.
