Idea is, instead of ignoring completely missing linked datablocks, to
create void placeholders for them.
That way, you can work on your file, save it, and find again your missing data once
lib becomes available again. Or you can edit missing lib's path (in Outliner),
save and reload the file, and you are done.
Also, Outliner now shows broken libraries (and placeholders) with a 'broken lib' icon.
Future plans are also to be able to relocate missing libs and reload them at runtime.
Code notes:
- Placeholder ID is just a regular datablock of same type as expected linked one,
with 'default' data, and a LIB_MISSING bitflag set.
- To allow creation of such datablocks, creation of datablocks in BKE was split in two step:
+ Allocation of memory itself.
+ Setting of all internal data to default values.

Propper fix reverting most of rB60e70c0c6014e5, which was only partial specific fix.
This code uses generic `BKE_id_lib_local_paths()` func to handle all possible paths.

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.

Issue was caused by couple of circumstances:
- Normal Map node requires tesselated faces to compute tangent space
- All temporary meshes needed for Cycles export were adding to G.main
- Undo pushes would temporary set meshes tessfaces to NULL
- Moving node will cause undo push and tree re-evaluate fr preview
All this leads to threading conflict between preview render and undo
system.
Solved it in way that all temporary meshes are adding to that exact
Main which was passed to Cycles via BlendData. This required couple
of mechanic changes like adding extra parameter to *_add() functions
and adding some *_ex() functions to make it possible RNA adds objects
to Main passed to new() RNA function.
This was tricky to pass Main to RNA function and IMO that's not so
nice to pass main to function, so ended up with such decision:
- Object.to_mesh() will add temp mesh to G.main
- Added Main.meshes.new_from_object() which does the same as to_mesh,
but adds temporary mesh to specified Main.
So now all temporary meshes needed for preview render would be added
to preview_main which does not conflict with undo pushes.
Viewport render shall not be an issue because object sync happens from
main thread in this case.
It could be some issues with final render, but that's not so much
likely to happen, so shall be fine.
Thanks to Brecht for review!
now blenlib/BLI doesn't depend on any blenkern/BKE functions,
there are still some bad level includes but these are only to access G.background and the blender version define.
- remove unneeded type check from convert grease pencil operator.
- correct some error prints & use __func__.
- make copy_libblock take an ID* argument rather than void*.
so path manipulation functions dont run multiple times on the same path in the case of sequence strips where the one directory is used as the base for many images.
