generator with a local one. It's not thread safe and will not give repeatable
results, so in most cases it should not be used.
Also fixes#34992 where the noise texture of a displacement modifier was not
properly random in opengl animation render, because the seed got reset to a
fixed value by an unrelated function while for final render it changed each
frame.
* Noise is now considered an animated texture as it changes with every frame
* Converted a few places in particles code to use the particle system's own random table instead of BLI_frand.
* The old collisions code detected particle collisions by calculating the
collision times analytically from the collision mesh faces. This was
pretty accurate, but didn't support rotating/deforming faces at all, as
the equations for these quickly become quite nasty.
* The new code uses a simple "distance to plane/edge/vert" function and
iterates this with the Newton-Rhapson method to find the closest particle
distance during a simulation step.
* The advantage in this is that the collision object can now move, rotate,
scale or even deform freely and collisions are still detected reliably.
* For some extreme movements the calculation errors could stack up so much
that the detection fails, but this can be easily fixed by increasing the
particle size or simulation substeps.
* As a side note the algorithm doesn't really do point particles anymore,
but uses a very small radius as the particle size when "size deflect" isn't
selected.
* I've also updated the collision response code a bit, so now the particles
shouldn't leak even from tight corners.
All in all the collisions code is now much cleaner and more robust than before!
* This caused nearly all particles to leak through the collision surface if simulation subframes were used and the collision object was moving.
* In addition to fixing this I also did some more cleanup of the collision code and refined some of the comments.
- omit render code from this warning (cmake only), until render branch is merged.
- moved -Wunused-parameter warning to apply to all C code in blender (not just ./source/blender), (cmake only).
- removed deprecated bitmap arg from IMB_allocImBuf (plugins will need updating).
- mostly tagged UNUSED() since some of these functions look like they may need to have the arguments used later.
* Particle collision with size was broken since raytrace optimizations by jaguarandi, now the collision code falls back to old slower method when the collision ray has a radius.
* Single goal/avoid object now works for boids.
* Some tiny improvements on collision avoidance for boids.
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:

The goodies:
* Curves can be used as normal dynamic effectors too with
the new "curve" field shape.
* Group visualization has optional duplication counts for
each object in the specified group.
* Object & group visualizations, which are done without
taking the dupliobject's global position into account
(unless the whole group is used). This is much nicer than
the previous behavior, but I added a "Use Global Location"
option for those who want to use it the old way.
* The active particle system's particles are now drawn a
with theme coloured outline instead of pure white.
* Added object aligned velocity factors (buttons categorized
and re-organized too).
Bug fixes:
* Absorption didn't work as the ui toggle button was forgotten.
* Some other force field ui tweaks.
* Crash after adding children and changing trails count.
* Display types "cross" and "axis" crashed.
* Particles weren't drawn with correct coloring.
* Billboards didn't update properly in viewport to camera
location changes.
* Particle rotation wasn't recreated correctly from point cache.
* Changing particles amount crashed sometimes.
* Some files with child hair crashed on loading.
* Compiler warning fixes.
* Adding boids crashed on frame 1;
