This was caused by the window_translate_m4 not offsetting the winmat in the
right direction for perspective view. Thus leading to incorrect weights.
The workbench sample weight computation was also inverted.
This fix will change the sampling pattern for EEVEE too (it will just
mirror it in perspective view).
Use approximate geodesic distance computatiom that crosses through triangles
rather than only along edges. Using only edges would give artifacts already
on a simple grid.

The problem is due to lack of precision with small and coplanar triangles.
Also, triangles that have vertices with the same coordinate are at the
threshold of the intersection.
We could add an epsilon to consider the minimum distance for intersection.
But that would add a lot of overhead to the code.
The solution used is to increase precision using doubles.
The issue was two fold.
First something sets the loop element tag and doesn't clear it before
the UV code in question tries to use the tags. Added a sanity clear to
make sure that it operates on a clean tag state.
The next one was that the UV maps in question had quite a few points
that had zero length UV loop edges. This would lead to division by
zero.

The problem is caused by a lack of prediction in the `isect_line_segment_tri_v3`
that incorrectly confirms some intersections of coplanar segments to the triangle.
The solution is to use another algorithm to detect intersections.
This also resulted in a slight improvement in the performance:

This addresses warnings from Clang-Tidy's `readability-else-after-return`
rule in the `source/blender/blenlib` module. Not all warnings are
addressed in this commit.
No functional changes.
This commit changes the behavior of 4 snapping combinations:
**1. While constraining to a plane, snap to an edge element:**
The snap is made at the intersection between the edge direction and the
constraint plane.
**2. While constraining to a plane, snap to a face element:**
The snap is made to the nearest point between the snap point and the
line that intersects the face plane with the constraint plane.
**3. While constraining to an axis, snap to an edge/line element:**
The snap is made to the nearest point on the axis to the edge/line.
**4. While constraining to an axis, snap to a face element:**
The snap is made at the intersection of the axis and the plane defined
by the face.
To avoid unpredictable jumps outside view boundaries, an alignment
check is made for each of these snapping combinations.

interp_weights_poly_v2 would have too large epsilon values for small
polygons. To solve this we now calculate the appropriate epsilon value
so it can gracefully handle big and small values.
To make sure there was no regression, these changes were tested with the
files in T36105, T31581. Also with a surface deform modifier test file
attached in the differential below.

NOTE: While most of the milestone 1 goals are there, a few smaller features and
improvements are still to be done.
Big picture of this milestone: Initial, OpenXR-based virtual reality support
for users and foundation for advanced use cases.
Maniphest Task: https://developer.blender.org/T71347
The tasks contains more information about this milestone.
To be clear: This is not a feature rich VR implementation, it's focused on the
initial scene inspection use case. We intentionally focused on that, further
features like controller support are part of the next milestone.
- How to use?
Instructions on how to use this are here:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Severin/GSoC-2019/How_to_Test
These will be updated and moved to a more official place (likely the manual) soon.
Currently Windows Mixed Reality and Oculus devices are usable. Valve/HTC
headsets don't support the OpenXR standard yet and hence, do not work with this
implementation.
---------------
This is the C-side implementation of the features added for initial VR
support as per milestone 1. A "VR Scene Inspection" Add-on will be
committed separately, to expose the VR functionality in the UI. It also
adds some further features for milestone 1, namely a landmarking system
(stored view locations in the VR space)
Main additions/features:
* Support for rendering viewports to an HMD, with good performance.
* Option to sync the VR view perspective with a fully interactive,
regular 3D View (VR-Mirror).
* Option to disable positional tracking. Keeps the current position (calculated
based on the VR eye center pose) when enabled while a VR session is running.
* Some regular viewport settings for the VR view
* RNA/Python-API to query and set VR session state information.
* WM-XR: Layer tying Ghost-XR to the Blender specific APIs/data
* wmSurface API: drawable, non-window container (manages Ghost-OpenGL and GPU
context)
* DNA/RNA for management of VR session settings
* `--debug-xr` and `--debug-xr-time` commandline options
* Utility batch & config file for using the Oculus runtime on Windows.
* Most VR data is runtime only. The exception is user settings which are saved
to files (`XrSessionSettings`).
* VR support can be disabled through the `WITH_XR_OPENXR` compiler flag.

A few thank you's:
* A huge shoutout to Ray Molenkamp for his help during the project - it would
have not been that successful without him!
* Sebastian Koenig and Simeon Conzendorf for testing and feedback!
* The reviewers, especially Brecht Van Lommel!
* Dalai Felinto for pushing and managing me to get this done ;)
* The OpenXR working group for providing an open standard. I think we're the
first bigger application to adopt OpenXR. Congratulations to them and
ourselves :)

While it might be handy to have type-less functionality which is
similar to how C++ math is implemented it can not be easily achieved
with just preprocessor in a way which does not have side-effects on
wrong usage.
There macros where often used on a non-trivial expression, and there
was at least one usage where it was causing an actual side effect/bug
on Windows (see change around square_f(sh[index++]) in studiolight.c).
For such cases it is handy to have a function which is guaranteed to
have zero side-effects. The motivation behind actually removing the
macros is that there is already a way to do similar calculation. Also,
not having such macros is a way to guarantee that its usage is not
changed in a way which have side-effects and that it's not used as an
inspiration for cases where it should not be used.

This applies the change from T73348 fix to related functions.
Instead of checking against an epsilon to avoid divide by zero,
perform the division and check the result is finite.
This is needed since small faces can have an area under 'FLT_EPSILON',
and dividing by values close to zero can result in 'inf'.
This adds some basic simulation of internal air pressure inside of
closed cloth mesh objects.

For clarity sake, the batch cache now uses exclusively per Loop attributes.
While this is a bit of a waste of VRAM (for the few case where per vert
attribs are enough) it reduces the complexity and amount of overall VBO
to update in general situations.
This patch also makes the VertexBuffers filling multithreaded. This make
the update of dense meshes a bit faster. The main bottleneck is the
IndexBuffers update which cannot be multithreaded efficiently (have to
increment a counter and/or do a final sorting pass).
We introduce the concept of "extract" functions/step.
All extract functions are executed in one thread each and if possible,
using multiple thread for looping over all elements.
