This patch enables TBB as the default task scheduler. TBB stands for Threading Building Blocks and is developed by Intel. The library contains several threading patters. This patch maps blenders BLI_task_* function to their counterpart. After this patch we can add more patterns. A promising one is TBB:graph that can be used for depsgraph, draw manager and compositor.
Performance changes depends on the actual hardware. It was tested on different hardwares from laptops to workstations and we didn't detected any downgrade of the performance.

This data block will be the container for simulation node trees.
It will be used for the new particle node system (T73324).
The new data block has the type `ID_SIM`.
It is not visible to users and other developers by default yet.
To enable it, activate the cmake option `WITH_NEW_SIMULATION_TYPE`.
New simulation data blocks can be created by running `bpy.data.simulations.new("name")`.

The `BKE_animsys.h` and `anim_sys.c` files already had a an "AnimData
API" section. The code in that section has now been split off, and
placed into `BKE_anim_data.h` and `anim_data.c`.
All files that used to include `BKE_animsys.h` have been adjusted to
only include the animation headers they need (sometimes none).
No functional changes.
Both the MS headers and blender headers define the HKEY
which gives all kind of inclusion order issues.
This diff renames all *KEY constants to EVT_*KEY to resolve
this conflict.

The old convention was easy to confuse with ScrArea.
Part of https://developer.blender.org/T74432.
This is mostly a batch rename with some manual fixing. Only single word
variable names are changed, no prefixed/suffixed names.
Brecht van Lommel and Campbell Barton both gave me a green light for
this convention change.
Also ran clan clang format on affected files.
Motivation the functions get 3 different kind of flag parameters (ImBuf,
DrawType, OffscreenRendering) the naming of the flags were not clear,
leading to mistakes and unnecessary time spend debugging.
Using a struct here allows to change given parameters to the callbacks
without having to edit all callbacks functions, which is always noisy
and time consuming.
The Viewport Render Keyframes operator didn't include keyframes from
grease pencil animation or from mesh shape key animation (see T72861).
To find all related datablocks that could be considered as part of the
selected object, `BKE_library_foreach_ID_link(..., IDWALK_RECURSE)` is
used. To prevent relations like constraint targets from being visited,
the recursion is stopped when it finds a different object.

This feature makes it possible to do a viewport render (a.k.a.
playblast) by only rendering those frames on which the selected objects
have a keyframe.
The frames to render are stored in a `BLI_bitmap`, which has a bit for
each frame set to 0 (skip) or 1 (render). An alternative approach would
be to construct a set of all keyframes to render, but that would make
both constructing the list and looking up frames in the list more
complex.
The only thing this feature does is skip OpenGL rendering of a frame. As
a result, 'skipped' frames are still included in the output, but just
use the render result of the last-rendered frame. This is exactly what's
described in T72229.

The tooltip was static, so it was the same for viewport-rendering the
current frame and for the entire animation. It is now different for
those two.
The structure of `screen_opengl_render_description()` is such that it
allows for adding a new description for a soon-to-come feature (T72229).
Multisample buffers were used for smooth line drawing. As we now have
an algorithm that doesn't need the multisample buffers we can remove
them.
The user preference for viewport multi_sampling is replaced by single
toggle overlay `use_overlay_smooth_wire`. By default this setting is
enabled as the new drawing is really quick (<1ms) and uses zero hacks.

When using Render Viewport Animation the meta data
was only stamped when a float buffer was used. In recent changes it was
possible to use a char buffer for the result.
This commit will also support stamping of metadata using a char buffer.
When doing viewport rendering the color management happens on the CPU.
This has overhead in downloading a float texture from the gpu and
performing color management on the CPU.
Based on the scene fileformat bit depth the result will be rendered to
a byte texture where the colormanagement happens on the GPU or a float
texture where the colormanagement happens on the CPU.
This is only done during `Viewport Render Animation` in other
cases a float texture is being used.

This change ensures that operators which needs access to evaluated data
first makes sure there is a dependency graph.
Other accesses to the dependency graph made it more explicit about
whether they just need a valid dependency graph pointer or whether they
expect the graph to be already evaluated.
This replaces OPTYPE_USE_EVAL_DATA which is now removed.
Some general rules about usage of accessors:
- Drawing is expected to happen from a fully evaluated dependency graph.
There is now a function to access it, which will in the future control
that dependency graph is actually evaluated.
This check is not yet done because there are some things to be taken
care about first: for example, post-update hooks might leave scene in
a state where something is still tagged for update.
- All operators which needs to access evaluated state must use
CTX_data_ensure_evaluated_depsgraph().
This function replaces OPTYPE_USE_EVAL_DATA.
The call is generally to be done in the very beginning of the
operator, prior other logic (unless this is some comprehensive
operator which might or might not need access to an evaluated state).
This call is never to be used from a loop.
If some utility function requires evaluated state of dependency graph
the graph is to be passed as an explicit argument. This way it is
clear that no evaluation happens in a loop or something like this.
- All cases which needs to know dependency graph pointer, but which
doesn't want to actually evaluate it can use old-style function
CTX_data_depsgraph_pointer(), assuming that underlying code will
ensure dependency graph is evaluated prior to accessing it.
- The new functions are replacing OPTYPE_USE_EVAL_DATA, so now it is
explicit and local about where dependency graph is being ensured.
This commit also contains some fixes of wrong usage of evaluation
functions on original objects. Ideally should be split out, but in
reality with all the APIs being renamed is quite tricky.
Fixes T67454: Blender crash on rapid undo and select
Speculation here is that sometimes undo and selection operators are
sometimes handled in the same event loop iteration, which leaves
non-evaluated dependency graph.

When exporting annotations using `bpy.ops.render.opengl` the annotations
where only correct in the first frame. In the second frame the
annotations was shifted by half the resolution.
This change will reset the GPU matrices when the annotations are
rendered.
Was very easy to reproduce by rendering sequencer with sound strip.
Need to use evaluated scene to open movie handle, since that is the only
scene which has proper sound handle with everything else attached to it.
When rendering the Sequencer using viewport rendering the annotations
were not scaled to respect the scene render size. This was because the
matrices were calculated based on the output size and not the actual
rendersize.

When rendering viewport to an offscreen buffer the buffer was
constructed for non anti aliasing (0 samples). This made the objects
that are drawn by the `object_mode` including `wireframe` draw type
non-anti-aliased.
The offscreen buffers will be constructed based on the user setting for
viewport multisampling (`U.ogl_multisamples`). The same setting will
also be used when previewing scene strips in the sequencer. For now
this only improves wireframe drawing in the scene strips. To improve the
Anti aliasing in the scene strips we need to get finer control in the
draw manager. This will be part of a different patch I am preparing.
Please note that this patch also cleansup some unused code in the offscreen rendering (FSAA code was still existing, but never called)

Note from reviewer/committer (dfelinto):
OpenGL render from the VSE preview window is working, while the VSE
preview window itself does not show stereo.
That said the patch is ok, and I was able to test that the VSE preview
OpenGL still works. I will tackle VSE preview itself separately myself.
We already have different storages for cddata of verts, edges etc.,
'simply' do the same for the mask flags we use all around Blender code
to request some data, or limit some operation to some layers, etc.
Reason we need this is that some cddata types (like Normals) are
actually shared between verts/polys/loops, and we don’t want to generate
clnors everytime we request vnors!
As a side note, this also does final fix to T59338, which was the
trigger for this patch (need to request computed loop normals for
another mesh than evaluated one).

BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
That kind of implicit includes should really only be done when totally,
absolutely necessary, and ideally only with rather simple 'second-level'
headers.
Otherwise not being explicit with includes always end up biting in
unexpected ways...
Since we now have an Opengl "render engine", it is misleading to have this
operator still called "OpenGL Render" when all it does is take a snapshot
of the viewport.
