This resolves a performance regression in 2.8x where every edit-mode
update performed an edit-mesh to mesh conversion.
Now the conversion will be lazily initialized if/when it's required.
New BKE_mesh_wrapper_* functions abstract over mesh data access.
Currently only edit-mesh and regular meshes are supported.
In the future sub-surface meshes may be supported too.
Previously in 2.79 we were using a specialized drawing using derivedMesh.
Now the subsurf modifier tag each center vertex as facedot and let the
DRWManager pick it up.
Some modifiers (deforming ones) do not clear the tag so we can use this
technique even if there is deforming modifiers after subsurf modifiers.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.

- 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This is often invalid, outdated or misleading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.
