This commit integrates the work done so far on the new dependency graph system,
where goal was to replace legacy depsgraph with the new one, supporting loads of
neat features like:
- More granular dependency relation nature, which solves issues with fake cycles
in the dependencies.
- Move towards all-animatable, by better integration of drivers into the system.
- Lay down some basis for upcoming copy-on-write, overrides and so on.
The new system is living side-by-side with the previous one and disabled by
default, so nothing will become suddenly broken. The way to enable new depsgraph
is to pass `--new-depsgraph` command line argument.
It's a bit early to consider the system production-ready, there are some TODOs
and issues were discovered during the merge period, they'll be addressed ASAP.
But it's important to merge, because it's the only way to attract artists to
really start testing this system.
There are number of assorted documents related on the design of the new system:

There are also some user-related information online:

Kudos to everyone who was involved into the project:
- Joshua "Aligorith" Leung -- design specification, initial code
- Lukas "lukas_t" Toenne -- integrating code into blender, with further fixes
- Sergey "Sergey" "Sharybin" -- some mocking around, trying to wrap up the
project and so
- Bassam "slikdigit" Kurdali -- stressing the new system, reporting all the
issues and recording/writing documentation.
- Everyone else who i forgot to mention here :)
Goal of this commit is to support NGons for boolean modifier
(currently mesh is being tessellated before performing boolean
operation) and also solve the limitation of loosing edge custom
data layers after boolean operation is performed.
Main idea is to make it so boolean modifier uses Carve library
directly via it's C-API, avoiding BSP intermediate level which
was doubling amount of memory needed for the operation and which
also used quite reasonable amount of overhead time.
Perhaps memory usage and CPU usage are the same after all the
features are implemented but we've got support now:
- ORIGINDEX for all the geometry
- Interpolation of edge custom data (seams, crease)
- NGons support
Triangulation rule is changed now as well, so now non-flat
polygons are not being merged back after Carve work. This is
so because it's not so trivial to support for NGons and
having different behavior for quads and NGons is even more
creepy.

Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D274
* Fluid compilation: Inverse the compile flag from DISABLE_ELBEEM to WITH_MOD_FLUID for consistency. (scons/cmake)
* Use WITH_BF_FLUID in your user config (scons)
* Add support for scons to disable build with Decimate and Boolean modifier.
(WITH_BF_DECIMATE and WITH_BF_BOOLEAN)
This branch adds mostly organizational improvements to the node system by renaming the node folders and files. A couple of internal features have been added too.
