There is no user visible difference in standard builds, as there are no
volume modifiers yet. When using WITH_NEW_OBJECT_TYPES some deform only
modifiers are now available for hair and pointcloud objects.

Show control edges stores the control edges in the mesh which is
picked up by the draw manager. When applyng a subsurf (or multires) we
don't want that data present in the base mesh. Any rebuilding of the mesh
would overwrite the data anyway.
This patch introduces a new flag for applying modifiers
that can be checked to ignore storing display specific data in
the base mesh.

The issue was caused by crazy space distortion orientation happening
for subsurf modifier.
Solved by making it so subsurf only deforms the surface but keeps
matrices as-is. This is not fully mathematically correct, but is better
that the fall-back solution which was doing wrong matrices anyway.
Also, this is closer to have subsurf was handled prior to the
related changes.

Currently unused but the intention is to use this to hook up these
modifiers to a generic deformed PBVH to make it easier to sculpt or
paint on a subdivided mesh.
This is something where there is no single correct behavior,
sometimes it's needed to ignore the crease to make mesh more
smooth. But sometimes crease is to be considered after first
subdivision surface: for example, when adding extra subdivisions
for render-time displacement.
Made it an option whether modifier needs to take crease into
account or not.
Existing files should be openable in the 2.7 compatible way,
to re-create an old behavior the options is to be manually
disabled in the modifier settings.

The general idea of this change is to have a runtime data pointer
in the ModifierData, so it can be preserved through copy-on-write
updates by the dependency graph.
This is where subdivision surface modifier can store its topology
cache, so it is not getting trashed on every copy-on-write which
is happening when moving a vertex.
Similar mechanism should be used by multiresolution, dynamic paint
and some other modifiers which cache evaluated data.
This fixes T61746.
Thing to keep in mind, that there are more reports about slow
subdivision surface in the tracker, but that boils down to the
fact that those have a lot of extraordinary vertices, and hence
a lot slower to evaluated topology.
Other thing is, this speeds up oeprations which doesn't change
topology (i.e. moving vertices).

BLI should always comes first, before DNA, BKE etc. And
`BLI_utildefines.h` should come before any other BLI (since it's some
sort of system include really, among other things...).
Thisi should help to reduce the noise in patches when adding stuff
like uint64_t members to DNA structs... ;)
This commit makes it so both Subdivision Surface and Multiresolution
modifiers are caching OpenSubdiv topology. This cuts down evaluation
time quite a bit, especially for meshes which don't have many extra
ordinary verticies.
Only working for animation. Other modifications like edit mode needs
more work to make topology cache preserved by copy-on-write.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

This is actually a workaround for the crash in OpenSubdiv.
Topology refiner will have a crash when special conditions
are met:
- Refiner is configured to use infinitely sharp patches.
- Refinement happens for the level 1 (which we call Quality 1 on
Blender side).
- Mesh has non-quad faces.
The workaround is to force refinement to happen to level 2 (or
quality 2 on Blender side) when those conditions are met.
Later on with the next OpenSubdiv update we can remove this
workaround, since there was work done on OpenSubdiv side to
deal better with such configurations.
The modifier will now be somewhat slower, but this will be
compensated with upcoming topology cache enabled by default.
The workaround is done when initializing settings, so the
comparison of topology refiner settings is happening without
any extra workarounds there.
This commit makes it so OpenSubdiv's topology refiner is kept
in memory and reused for until topology changes. There are the
following modifications which causes topology refiner to become
invalid:
- Change in a mesh topology (for example, vertices, edges, and
faces connectivity).
- Change in UV islands (adding new islands, merging them and
so on),
- Change in UV smoothing options.
- Change in creases.
- Change in Catmull-Clark / Simple subdivisions.
The following limitations are known:
- CPU evaluator is not yet cached.
- UV islands topology is not checked.
The UV limitation is currently a stopper for making this cache
enabled by default.
This seems to be a bug in OpenSubdiv. For now simply use Catmark
subdivision scheme with infinitely sharp edges.
Later on it's either gets fixed in OpenSubdiv or we do bilinear
subdivision on our side.
This commit makes it so that subsurf/multires modifiers will respect
the WITH_OPENSUBDIV option. The WITH_OPENSUBDIV_MODIFIER option is
now gone.
For artists it mean that subsurf modifier will behave same as it is
planned for 2.80. Multires will now support sculpting, but it has some
known limitations. Those will be worked on before the final release.
If OpenSubdiv is disabled, no subsurf/multires functionality will
present.

Only affects internal API, bout could be exposed as an option for
the compatibility reasons with other software.
Is a part of some ongoing development of multires, but might or
might not be used.
Those were used for partial updates during edit mode, which will
not be possible anymore with OpenSubdiv.
Optimization for OpenSubdiv would be to re-use topology refiner
if topology does not change. But this is something to be done
for both edit and object modes, no need to have separate code
paths for those.
This commit makes OpenSubdiv to properly work in edit mode.
The main goal of this patch is to cleanup the interface of every modifier. More specifically the interface of modifiers should be DerivedMesh-free.
Internally some modifiers still use DerivedMesh. However I think it is better when the wrappers are in the modifiers so that higher level functions can use the simplified interface.
This patch removes the applyModifier_DM and applyModifierEM_DM functions. In a previous patch (rB3614d9d) the other functions that used DerivedMesh have been removed.

Attempts to substitude CCGDM with an OpenSubdiv based structure
which has less abstraction levels. The missing part in this
substitude is a face pointers which old CCGDM/multires code was
using to stitch faces (averaging boundaries).
Another curial bit missing: "reshaping" of multires CD_MDISPS
to the state of new PBVH grids.
The new code is only available when OpenSubdiv modifier is
enabled (WITH_OPENSUBDIV_MODIFIER=ON) and with debug value of
128. This is so this WIP code is not interfering with current
production machines in the studio.

Adds a displacement support for OpenSubdiov based subsurf object implemented
as a callback which gives vector displacement in object space. Currently is
implemented to calculate displacement based on myltires displacement grids,
but we can support things in the future if needed.
Submitting to review to see if there is something obviously wrong in the
direction (old multires code was sharing same displacement code to both
calculate final displaced mesh and reshape an existing one, which is rather
confusing and probably can be done more cleanly?).

For users it defines how accurate vertex positions are in terms
of limit surface (as in, how close the vertices locations to the
condition when they are calculated for an infinitely subdivided
mesh).
This affects things like:
- Irregular vertices (joint of 3 or more edges)
- Crease
Keep quality value low for performance.
NOTE: Going higher does not necessarily mean real improvement
in quality, ideal case might be reached well before maximum
quality of 10. Quality of 3 is a good starting point.
Internally quality is translated directly to adaptive subdivision
level.

There are following reasons to do so:
- The plan is to replace it with some sort of object or viewport option,
so we can apply OpenSubdiv subdivisions on top of modifier stack and
keep modifier stack purely CPU side.
This will solve issues when adding some relation in scene will force
modifier to be evaluated on CPU.
- With new upcoming OpenSubdiv based CPU modifier implementation we can
cache topology similar to what GPU side was doing, which will already
be reasonably faster.
- OpenSubdiv GPU does not work since the OpenGL version bump, and is
to be rewritten with all the adaptive refine options kept in mind.
Since OpenSubdiv GPU was already broken and was only causing object
to become invisible, there is no reason to keep having that option in
the modifier.

This replaces old single toggle option to subdivide UVs with
an enum which can have more options. The usecase for this is
to be compatible with other software. But we also might choose
different subdivision type as default in the future.
DNA and underlying code supports all possible options, but
only the ones which are compatible with old subdivision code
are currently exposes.

The idea is to create vertices along the coarse edges once, without
splitting coarse edges on separate ptex faces. This requires some
indexing magic, vertices within a patch are no longer sequential.
Not sure how to make it nicer without such a black magic looking
calculations (which are basically boiling down to mimicking order
of verts/edges creation).
In the current offsets calculation loose verts and edges are not
properly taken into account, but those are causing topology refiner
to fail anyway, so it needs a bit deeper change.
