The simple subdivision as a type only causes issues like no-continuous
normals across edges, inability to reliably switch the type and things
like this.
The new subdivision operators supports wider variety of how to add
details to the model, which are more powerful than a single one-time
decision on the subdivision type.
The versioning code is adjusting topology converter to specify all
edges as infinitely sharp. The reason for this (instead of using
settings.is_simple) is because in a longer term the simple subdivision
will be removed from Subsurf modifier as well, and will be replaced
with more efficient bmesh-based modifier.
This is finished up version of D8436.

It was rather a huge chunk of code, which started to become
more harder to maintain with the transition to OpenSubdiv based
implementation. Because of this transition, the compatibility was
also rather on a poor side.
Remove compatibility support for pre-2.50.9 multires.

This replaces header include guards with `#pragma once`.
A couple of include guards are not removed yet (e.g. `__RNA_TYPES_H__`),
because they are used in other places.

This introduces two alternative subdivision modes that generates
displacement on the grids that look as Simple subdivisions but while
using the Catmull-Clark subdivision type in the modifier. This way,
Simple and Catmull-Clark subdivision can be combined when creating new
levels if needed, for example, to sculpt hard surface objects.
Subdivide simple smooths the sculpted data when creating a new
subdivision level. Subdivide linear also preserves the sharpness
in the sculpted data.

This implements the main unsubdivide algorithm which rebuilds a base mesh and extracts the grid's data from a high resolution mesh.
It includes the Rebuild Subdivisions operator, which generates all subdivision levels down to the level 0 base mesh.
It supports:
- Rebuilding an arbitrary number of levels (Unsubdivide) or as many levels as possible down to level 0 in a single step (Rebuild Subdivisions).
- Rebuilding with already existing grids.
- Meshes with n-gons and triangles
- Meshes with more than 2 faces per edge
- Base mesh made completely out of triangles
- Meshes without poles
- Meshes with multiple disconnected elements at the same subdivision level

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 initial code from earlier from today didn't really work reliable
since it is not possible to apply virtual modifiers but not the real
multires one (in a situation like mesh with shapekeys and multires).
New code uses less memory and has better performance for the case
when there are actual modifiers leading the multires. The case when
there is only multires will not be as performant as possible at this
moment.
Use full argument name.
Also order arguments in the generosity order: from depsgraph
(which has everything) to object (which contains multires)
specific multires modifier.
Was happening when object does not have CD_MDISPS allocated yet.
Need to make sure totdisp and level is specified on CD_MDISPS data
prior to loading (as the load expects them to be properly set).
This change fixes artifacts produced by these operations.
On a technical aspect this is done by porting all of the operations
to the new subdivision surface implementation which ensures that
tangent space used to evaluate modifier and those operations is
exactly the same (before modifier will use new code and the operations
will still use an old one).
The next step is to get sculpting on a non-top level to work, and
that actually requires fixes in the undo system.
Make a distinction between flush sculpt changes for rendering, and forcing
sculpt data structures to be rebuilt after mesh changes. Also don't use PBVH
for renders.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

See P901 for script to perform these edits.
The idea is to run reshaping for every boundary vertex
of a grid rather than trying to copy boundary grid
elements.
While this is somewhat slower, this avoids all this
tangent flipping magic, which tempts to be rather tricky
and fragile.
First of all, follow our naming convention to use module prefix.
Second of all, mesh is being created and is to be freed, we also
have convention for such function names.
Added propagation of displacement to a higher levels.
Has the same limitation as reshape from object, which makes
grids somewhat choppy due to linear interpolation nature.
This is to be addressed next.
Allows to go to sculpt mode, do brush strokes, get out of sculpt mode
and have deformation preserved.
The issues currently is that the current implementation of CCG
storage is created from the limit surface, without displacement
taken into account. It is trivial to get displaced coordinates,
but it is more tricky to get displaced normals. This is something
to be solved next.
Another limitation is that this only works for sculpting at a maximal
multires level. There is code to be done to support propagation
of displacement onto a higher levels.
