Convert buffer to index in one loop,
also minor cleanup to backbuf/selection functions.
- Use IMB_rectcpy instead of inline pixel copy.
- Redundant WM_framebuffer_to_index call.
Generalize logic for vert/edge/face selection:
- index cycling.
- selection bias with mixed modes.
Details:
- Edges now support index cycling (as verts/faces did already)
- Cycling over near elements is now only enabled when the mouse position remains the same.
- No longer do 2 selection passes to perform index cycling.
Fixes:
- Edges behind the view could be selected (surprising nobody reported!)
- Selection bias now only changes the element that gets picked without interning the return distance
(was buggy with mixed modes).
When mixing vert/edge/face with select-visible,
face selection could fail when not close enough to the center.
This also fixes a bug where the bias for verts over edges would
prefer faces over edges too, making edges harder to pick.
Mixing edge with other selection modes works more predictably now.

Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

- Correct logic converting radius to view distance.
- Wasn't taking view-zoom into account converting lens to angle.
- Support framing the selection in the camera bounds (for camera locked views).
Add ED_view3d_radius_to_dist to handles these details.
Naming here is slightly misleading. We have:
* Number of elements (objects) that can be picked
* Buffer size
* Number of integers in buffer.
Interestingly enough, bufsize in OpenGL (as far as I could find in
examples on the web) and in most of the code refers to the latter and
actual buffer size is only used whenever we do allocations on the heap.
Added an extra defines here to make things a bit clearer:
* MAXPICKELEMS refers to the number of objects that can be picked
* MAXPICKBUF refers to the number of integers in the selection buffer
Also made all buffers use MAXPICKBUF where some used MAXPICKBUF * 4.
That means that some parts of blender will use less space for selection
now. MAXPICKBUF is set to 10000 for 2500 object selection, which can be
changed at any time, but I think 10000 integers on the stack touches the
borders of uglyland anyway.
This commit introduces a few ready made effects for the 3D viewport
and OpenGL rendering.
Included effects are Depth of Field, accessible from camera view
and screen space ambient occlusion. Those effects can be turned on and
tweaked from the shading panel in the 3D viewport.
Off screen rendering will use the settings of the current camera.

After double checking the sequencer code, there doesn't seem to be any reason to
exclude these from the sequencer previews. This makes it possible to use the
sequencer to non-destructively chain together difference Grease Pencil animated
shots together without having to render each image sequence first, allowing for
a smoother workflow.
Just in case the initial assumption isn't entirely correct, I've put in place
an extra arg to the relevant functions which can be hooked up to a suitable
option on the scene strip later to turn this on/off as needed.
The issue was caused by the render engine loading edit mesh, which re-allocates
mesh array which might be referenced by other object's derived meshed.
Worst thing about this is that updating render engine happens from the end of
scene update function, after all the objects are updated and so. This is needed
so render engine gets the update objects which is correct.
The only proper way to solve the issue is to make it so viewport engine does not
leave objects in inconsistent state, meaning nobody will reference to freed data.
In order to reach this we do edit mesh loading before running objects update so
all the objects which uses that mesh will have proper references in the derived
mesh.
This also solves old creepyness which happened before when having single object
in edit mode. tweaking it will calculate derived mesh as a part of scene update,
then this derived mesh will be freed by edit mesh loading and viewport will be
creating derived mesh again.
Now render engine is expected to do nothing with meshes which are in edit mode,
but they still need to load edit data for non0meshes. It's not really easy to
do from the BKE level because needed functions are implemented in the editor.
Thanks Campbell for the review!

This patch creates an interface for selection mechanisms in opengl. This
makes it possible to switch between occlusion query based or select
rendermode based selection transparently.
This is really useful on graphics drivers that do not accelerate the
select rendermode path (some ATI cards are notorious for this, and the
new path is used by default there), since occlusion queries are always
hardware accelerated due to their use in games.
The option can be found under system - selection. Auto just enables
occlusion queries for ATI users while the rest of the options enforce
one of the two methods always.
There is just one known change, previous code enforced nearest bone to
always get selected, even when mouse selecting near the same position, I
couldn't replicate the behaviour though.
patch by me with edits and review by Campbell.
Thanks!
Yep, at last it's here!
There are a few minor issues remaining but development can go on in
master after discussion at blender institute.

Thanks to Sergey and Campbell for the extensive review and to the
countless artists that have given their input and reported issues during
development.
- allow zooming when in ortho+user mode
- fix for using VIEW3D_OT_ndof_orbit_zoom when the camera is locked.
- fix for locked camera changing the dist value when used with ndof.
- de-duplicate ndof_pan_zoom and ndof_all operators
After some discussion it seems both are valid defaults but useful for
very different purposes.
- 'free' lets you explore the scene with full 6dof (like fly mode)
- 'orbit' is closer to typical mouse view orbit, constraining to orbiting about a central location.
This doesn't effect orbit/pan which are available with modifier keys.
Issue is caused by start point of ray used to detect faces under the mouse is set rather far away in ortho 3dviews.
The loss of precision on the ray location induced by this can lead to face snapping failures.
Solution is to do the raycasting with a temp start point, much closer to the object we check, and add back
to the found distance the diff to the real start point once detection is done (as we need all hit distances
from all tested objects to be relative to a common point!).
Note this commit only addresses the "face snapping on mesh" case, other kind of snapping do not seem to suffer
from this issue.

to quickly toggle it on/off.
Problem is accessing freed data, now the job is ended immediately. Fix based
on patch from Sergey and investigation from Bastien.
of editmode on the child object.
Problem was that the object custom data mask was not taken into account when
rebuilding the derivedmesh in some cases, which is needed for the derivedmesh
to contain the mapping back to the original vertices. Now this data mask is
used for any derivedmesh build that will be cached.
Also problematic was that the datamask for the active object was applied to
all objects in the scene, which caused the parent object to be recalculated
when it didn't need to be. Now this datamask is only used for the active object.
