As an inherent property of matrix-based transformation math, non-
uniform scaling of a parent bone induces shear into the transform
matrix of any rotated child. Such matrices cannot be cleanly
decomposed into a combination of location/rotation/scale, which
causes issues for rigging and animation tools.
Blender bones have options to exclude rotation and/or scale from the
inherited transformation, but don't have any support for removing the
often undesired shear component. That goal requires replacing simple
parenting with a combination of multiple bones and constraints. The
same is true about the goal of inheriting some scale, but completely
avoiding shear.
This patch replaces the old Inherit Scale checkbox with a enum that
supports multiple options:
* Full: inherit all effects of scale, like with enabled Inherit Scale.
* Fix Shear: removes shear from the final inherited transformation.
The cleanup math is specifically designed to preserve the main
axis of the bone, its length and total volume, and minimally
affect roll on average. It however will not prevent reappearance
of shear due to local rotation of the child or its children.
* Average: inherit uniform scale that represents the parent volume.
This is the simplest foolproof solution that will inherit some
scale without ever causing shear.
* None: completely remove scale and shear.
* None (Legacy): old disabled Inherit Scale checkbox.
This mode does not handle parent shear in any way, so the child
is likely to end up having both scale and shear. It is retained
for backward compatibility.
Since many rigging-related addons access the use_inherit_scale
property from Python, it is retained as a backward compatibility
stub that provides the old functionality.
As a side effect of reworking the code, this also fixes a matrix
multiplication order bug in the Inherit Rotation code, which caused
the parent local scale to be applied in world space. In rigger
opinion this option is useless in production rigs, so this fix
should not be a problem.

Sync back between proxy armature pose and linked one was not properly
clearing the posebone runtime data, ending up with shared memory between
both (direct cause of reported crash), and probably some other nasty
issues.
While this crash is not critical in itself, I would suggest to add this
fix to 2.80 branch, as it is super-safe and simple, and is probably
fixing some other un-reported issues?
Need to copy changes from original armature to evaluated one prior to
BKE_pose_where_is(), otherwise the pose matrix in pose channels will
not be correct.
Can not use dependency graph update here, since we must not re-evaluate
possible dependencies of the changed armature.

`layer_used` runtime data, which controls the drawing of dots in the UI was not getting refreshed properly.
This used to happen in the drawing code, but was no longer working for reasons explained in:
{rB2b09062defa093a243b5fe64b099accb07b440a3}
The solution was to update each layer manually in the operators:
* ARMATURE_OT_bone_primitive_add
* ARMATURE_OT_delete
* ARMATURE_OT_dissolve
* ARMATURE_OT_fill
* ARMATURE_OT_merge
* ARMATURE_OT_separate
* ARMATURE_OT_bone_layers
* POSE_OT_bone_layers

Seems the deform group index and deform vertices went out of sync somehow.
Added extra NULL pointer check, which seems to be safe and matches checks
in other places in the neighbourhood.
This also makes `IDP_CopyProperty` the "opposite"
of `IDP_FreeProperty`, which is what I'd expect.
Two refactoring steps:
* rename IDP_FreeProperty to IDP_FreePropertyContent
* new IDP_FreeProperty function that actually frees the property

Since drivers on Bone properties are really supposed to be stored
in Armature data and access bones via its bones[] collection, this
lookup path should work efficiently.
Mass lookup of bones by name was already done through hashes,
but they were built temporarily every time that was needed. This
simply replaces it with a common hash table computed immediately
after file load, copy, or Edit to Object mode switch.
This partially mitigates the performance drop in Spring
02_055_A.anim caused by dependency changes in D4715.

This patch fixes T63794 by updating duplicated bones' custom handle references
to point to the new armature's bones.
The problem occurs because B-Bones of a duplicated armature keep pointing to
the old armature's bones. The references are cleared upon entering Edit Mode
because there are no matching `EditBone` for such bones, and `find_ebone_link`
just returns `NULL` in such cases.

As far as I can tell, there is no technical reason why the B-Bone
segment thickness scaling can't be separated into two axes. The
only downside is the increase in complexity of the B-Bone settings,
but this is inevitable due to the increase in flexibility.
Updating the file is somewhat complicated though, because F-Curves
and drivers have to be duplicated and updated to the new names.

Now that B-Bone shape data is kept in bPoseChannel_Runtime, the
armature level cache only holds one quaternion value per bone.
It can also be moved to runtime, and the structure removed.
This has an additional effect that, as far as I can tell, now
the Armature modifier can run as soon as all of the bones it
actually needs are done, thus making T59848 a purely depsgraph
level problem.
Previously B-Bone deformation mapped every vertex to just one
B-Bone segment. This results in abrupt transformation differences
between the sides of each threshold plane, reducing the quality
of B-Bone deformation and making the use of shape keys impractical.
This commit replaces this approach with a linear blend between
the two closest segment transformations, effectively representing
the B-Bone as two weight-blended plain bones for each vertex.
In order to distribute the interpolation more evenly along the
bone, segment matrices for deformation are now computed at points
between the segments and at the ends of the B-Bone. The computation
also uses the true tangents of the Bezier curve for the orientation.
The nodes at the end of the bone require some special handling to
deal with zero-length Bezier handles caused by a zero ease value.
The Copy Transforms constraint now also smoothly interpolates
rotation and scaling along the bone shape when enabled.
The initial version of the patch was submitted by @Sam200.

Applying the effect of bone parent is much more complicated than
simple matrix multiplication because of the various flags like
Inherit Scale. Thus it is reasonable to provide access to this
math from Python for complicated rest pose related manipulations.
The simple case of this is handled by Object.convert_space, so
the new method is only needed for complex tasks.

B-Bone shape is a non-trivial computation, so access to
the results would be useful for Python scripts working with
B-Bones, e.g. rig generation.
This exposes both final segment matrices, and the tangent
vectors computed from the custom handle bones.
Since the handle tangents use the axis+roll orientation math
of edit bones, add matrix conversion static methods to Bone.
