In addition to the original map to surface and Keep Above Surface,
add modes that only affect vertices that are inside or outside
the object. This is inspired by the Limit Distance constraint,
and can be useful for crude collision detection in rigs.
The inside/outside test works based on face normals and may not be
completely reliable near 90 degree or sharper angles in the target.

This commit adds a new armature modifier for grease pencil. The deformations are done reusing the mesh deform routines.
There is also a new operator in weight paint mode to help the artist to generate weights base on armatures. This operator is required because 2D animation workflow is not equal to meshes when parent an object to armatures.
In the drawing engine has been added the option to handle the Fade object parameter used in armatures to see the strokes while move the bones.
When rename bones, all related data of grease pencil is renamed too. This not only affect new armature code, but also layers parented and hook modifiers.
Thanks @aligorith for his review and help.
Misleading name since it's between 0..1.
Use as a keyword argument to prepare for keyword only args.
Also document that leaving unset has special behavior.
The initial design assumed that there was only one object for each unique name, but that was not the case when instances were created.
Now, instances are supported and speed has been greatly improved when repetitions are used.
As a result of this change, the option to create objects has been removed in the Instances modifier. This option was strange and was also against Blender's design rules, since a modifier should never create objects. The old functionality of the modifier can be achieved with instances.
Also, several memory leakage problems that were not previously detected have been eliminated, and especially in the grid and in the drawing process
Onion Skin is not supported in multi-user datablocks. Support this, makes incompatible with instances. We need find a solution in the long term, but now it's better keep disabled and make instances work. Anyway, the new instances makes unnecessary to use muli-user datablocks.
Currently no functional changes, just exposes all settings which we need
for OpenSubdiv, similar to what Subsurf modifier is doing already.

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.

Thanks to Charlie Jolly (mistajolly@gmail.com) for his patch D3586 that added create materials to opacity modifier.
I had to do some more changes to get all running.
The material created was not right when apply the modifiers.
These errors were related to the material modification from old palette system before the merge and for any reason this code was not changed in the right way.
Also changed the "Create Colors" to "Create Materials" to keep UI names aligned.
This commit merge the full development done in greasepencil-object branch and include mainly the following features.
- New grease pencil object.
- New drawing engine.
- New grease pencil modes Draw/Sculpt/Edit and Weight Paint.
- New brushes for grease pencil.
- New modifiers for grease pencil.
- New shaders FX.
- New material system (replace old palettes and colors).
- Split of annotations (old grease pencil) and new grease pencil object.
- UI adapted to blender 2.8.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
this is actually adding option to add buggy behavior, but.. NPR often
expects buggy behaviors, and its one of the main targets for normal editing.
So think it's reasonable to add that option (disabled by default of
course).
Note that am not really happy with UI, but:
* Not sure where to put it, it's kind of own self-contained area option.
* Don't to make it too much visible, using this should be the exception!
This commit adds number formatting (thousands separator) to the baking panel. It also adds a new function to format memory sizes (KB/GB/etc) and applies it to the baking panel and scene stats. The new function is unit tested.

Brecht authored this commit, but he gave me the honours to actually
do it. Here it goes; Blender Internal. Bye bye, you did great!
* Point density, voxel data, ocean, environment map textures were removed,
as these only worked within BI rendering. Note that the ocean modifier
and the Cycles point density shader node continue to work.
* Dynamic paint using material shading was removed, as this only worked
with BI. If we ever wanted to support this again probably it should go
through the baking API.
* GPU shader export through the Python API was removed. This only worked
for the old BI GLSL shaders, which no longer exists. Doing something
similar for Eevee would be significantly more complicated because it
uses a lot of multiplass rendering and logic outside the shader, it's
probably impractical.
* Collada material import / export code is mostly gone, as it only worked
for BI materials. We need to add Cycles / Eevee material support at some
point.
* The mesh noise operator was removed since it only worked with BI
material texture slots. A displacement modifier can be used instead.
* The delete texture paint slot operator was removed since it only worked
for BI material texture slots. Could be added back with node support.
* Not all legacy viewport features are supported in the new viewport, but
their code was removed. If we need to bring anything back we can look at
older git revisions.
* There is some legacy viewport code that I could not remove yet, and some
that I probably missed.
* Shader node execution code was left mostly intact, even though it is not
used anywhere now. We may eventually use this to replace the texture
nodes with Cycles / Eevee shader nodes.
* The Cycles Bake panel now includes settings for baking multires normal
and displacement maps. The underlying code needs to be merged properly,
and we plan to add back support for multires AO baking and add support
to Cycles baking for features like vertex color, displacement, and other
missing baking features.
* This commit removes DNA and the Python API for BI material, lamp, world
and scene settings. This breaks a lot of addons.
* There is more DNA that can be removed or renamed, where Cycles or Eevee
are reusing some old BI properties but the names are not really correct
anymore.
* Texture slots for materials, lamps and world were removed. They remain
for brushes, particles and freestyle linestyles.
* 'BLENDER_RENDER' remains in the COMPAT_ENGINES of UI panels. Cycles and
other renderers use this to find all panels to show, minus a few panels
that they have their own replacement for.
The work is mainly from Lukas Toenne, with some modifications from myself.
Includes following obvious changes:
- Particle system selection is now name-based, with lookup menu.
- Lots of new options to control varieties.
Changes comparing to the Gooseberry branch:
- Default values and versioning code ensures same behavior as the
old modifier.
- Custom data layers are coming from vertex color, the modifier
does not create arbitrary layers now. The hope is to keep data
more manageable, and maybe make it easier to select in the shader
later on.
This means, values are quantized to 256 values, but it should be
enough to get varieties in practice.

ViewRender was removed, which means we can't get the render engine for files
saved in 2.8. We assume that any files saved in 2.8 were intended to use Eevee
and set the engine to that.
A fix included with this is that .blend thumbails now draw with Clay mode,
and never Eevee or Cycles. These were drawn with solid mode in 2.7, and should
be very fast and not e.g. load heavy image textures.

We've got quite comprehensive BMesh based implementation, which is way easier
for maintenance than abandoned Carve library.
After all the time BMesh implementation was working on the same level of
limitations about manifold meshes and touching edges than Carve. Is better
to focus on maintaining one boolean implementation now.

- Read-only access can often use EvaluationContext.object_mode
- Write access to go to WorkSpace.object_mode.
- Some TODO's remain (marked as "TODO/OBMODE")
- Add-ons will need updating
(context.active_object.mode -> context.workspace.object_mode)
- There will be small/medium issues that still need resolving
this does work on a basic level though.
