Added function called WM_set_locked_interface which does
two things:
- Prevents event queue from being handled, so no operators
(see below) or values are even possible to run or change.
This prevents any kind of "destructive" action performed
from user while rendering.
- Locks interface refresh for regions which does have lock
set to truth in their template. Currently it's just a 3D
viewport, but in the future more regions could be considered
unsafe, or we could want to lock different parts of
interface when doing different jobs.
This is needed because 3D viewport could be using or changing
the same data as renderer currently uses, leading to threading
conflict.
Notifiers are still allowed to handle, so render progress is
seen on the screen, but would need to doublecheck on this, in
terms some notifiers could be changing the data.
For now interface locking happens for render job only in case
"Lock Interface" checkbox is enabled.
Other tools like backing would also benefit of this option.
It is possible to mark operator as safe to be used in locked
interface mode by adding OPTYPE_ALLOW_LOCKED bit to operator
template flags.
This bit is completely handled by wm_evem_system, not
with operator run routines, so it's still possible to
run operators from drivers and handlers.
Currently allowed image editor navigation and zooming.

There is a hack for modal keymaps and double click events, which was (ab)using
the wmEvent.prevval variable to temporarily assign it KM_DBL_CLICK indicating
that the double click event was disabled. However the value of prevval can
actually be KM_DBL_CLICK in other circumstances too, which caused a key press
event to get converted to a double click event.
So now it's possible to copy-paste splines between layers.
Implementation is pretty much straightforward and duplicates
some logic which we've got in sequencer/tracking clipboards.
Will work on a common routine for clipboards later, for now
it's not so much crucial to have.
- move cache reset into view2d and comment about the rationale for resetting cache there.
- missed other places where view2d zoom level can change (smoothview, borderzoom, home and file reload)
- comment about DPI wasn't correct.
Adds some padding to the left of the icon, adds more space around the separator
line and make it more visible, and add some spacing at the top and bottom of
the menu. Ref T37794

Previously this only worked for some datablocks relevant to rendering, now it
can be used to detect if any type of datablock was added or removed (but not
yet to detect if it was modified, we need many more depsgraph tags for that).
Most of the changes are some function parameter changes, the important parts
are the DAG_id_type_tag calls.

Summary:
Made objects update happening from multiple threads. It is a task-based
scheduling system which uses current dependency graph for spawning new
tasks. This means threading happens on object level, but the system is
flexible enough for higher granularity.
Technical details:
- Uses task scheduler which was recently committed to trunk
(that one which Brecht ported from Cycles).
- Added two utility functions to dependency graph:
* DAG_threaded_update_begin, which is called to initialize threaded
objects update. It will also schedule root DAG node to the queue,
hence starting evaluation process.
Initialization will calculate how much parents are to be evaluation
before current DAG node can be scheduled. This value is used by task
threads for faster detecting which nodes might be scheduled.
* DAG_threaded_update_handle_node_updated which is called from task
thread function when node was fully handled.
This function decreases num_pending_parents of node children and
schedules children with zero valency.
As it might have become clear, task thread receives DAG nodes and
decides which callback to call for it.
Currently only BKE_object_handle_update is called for object nodes.
In the future it'll call node->callback() from Ali's new DAG.
- This required adding some workarounds to the render pipeline.
Mainly to stop using get_object_dm() from modifiers' apply callback.
Such a call was only a workaround for dependency graph glitch when
rendering scene with, say, boolean modifiers before displaying
this scene.
Such change moves workaround from one place to another, so overall
hackentropy remains the same.
- Added paradigm of EvaluaitonContext. Currently it's more like just a
more reliable replacement for G.is_rendering which fails in some
circumstances.
Future idea of this context is to also store all the local data needed
for objects evaluation such as local time, Copy-on-Write data and so.
There're two types of EvaluationContext:
* Context used for viewport updated and owned by Main. In the future
this context might be easily moved to Window or Screen to allo
per-window/per-screen local time.
* Context used by render engines to evaluate objects for render purposes.
Render engine is an owner of this context.
This context is passed to all object update routines.
