`BKE_modifier_get_evaluated_mesh_from_evaluated_object()` used by
modifiers needing access to other objects' geometry probably skipped out
of the radar when cage and final evaluated meshes were added to
BMEditMesh? In any case, we do not need to duplicate (and then free!) a
temp mesh from editdata anymore, and we can even add instead a parameter
to get cage instead of final. Also makes modifiers code a bit simpler.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

This is often invalid, outdated or misleading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.
Hit normal originates from tesselated triangles and isn't the
actual normal used for shading of flat faces. Thus, it is better
to use the actual polygon normals when available.
Fix T58237: Exporters: Curve Modifier not applied when "apply modifiers" are selected.
Fix T58856: Python: "to_mesh" broken in 2.8.
...And many other cases... ;)
Thing is, we need target IDs to always be evaluated ones (at least I
cannot see any case where having orig ones is desired effect here).
Depsgraph/Cow system ensures us that when modifiers are evaluated by it,
but they can also be called outside of this context, e.g. when doing
binding, or object conversion...
So we need to ensure in modifiers code that we actually are always
working with eval data for those targets.
Note that I did not touch to physics modifiers, those are a bit touchy
and rather not 'fix' something there until proven broken!
This modifier only uses mesh to get vgroup, which is only needed in case
modified object is indeed a mesh! Building a mesh from curve here is not
only useless and time-consuming, it will also easily fail the assert
about same number of vertices!
Note that surface_project and subsurf option also need more work at some
point, but this is probably not that urgent for now.
Also, use MOD_get_vgroup() helper in modifier code itself and pass
resulting MDeformVert & index to BKE_shrinkwrap's `shrinkwrapModifier_deform()`,
this is simpler and avoids duplicating vgroup handling code.
Related to T57972.
The Nearest Surface Point shrink method, while fast, is neither
smooth nor continuous: as the source point moves, the projected
point can both stop and jump. This causes distortions in the
deformation of the shrinkwrap modifier, and the motion of an
animated object with a shrinkwrap constraint.
This patch implements a new mode, which, instead of using the simple
nearest point search, iteratively solves an equation for each triangle
to find a point which has its interpolated normal point to or from the
original vertex. Non-manifold boundary edges are treated as infinitely
thin cylinders that cast normals in all perpendicular directions.
Since this is useful for the constraint, and having multiple
objects with constraints targeting the same guide mesh is a quite
reasonable use case, rather than calculating the mesh boundary edge
data over and over again, it is precomputed and cached in the mesh.

- Use smooth normals to displace in Above Surface mode.
- Add an option to align an axis to the normal in the constraint.
I've seen people request the alignment feature, and it seems useful.
For the actual aligning I use the damped track logic.
In order to conveniently keep mesh data needed for normal
computation together, a new data structure is introduced.

Allow raycasting in two directions and culling front or back faces.
Also implement a new Invert Cull option in both constraint and
modifier that can be used to aim for faces aligned with the project
axis direction when raycasting both ways.

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.

Modifiers stack only get COW/evaluated IDs, so no need to go auery again
DEG for those. Further more, now unified handling of EditBMesh case (was
done on case-by-case basis in a few modifiers, not all for some reason).
We are still missing the ability to get final and cage deformed meshes
when in Edit mode though, this is to be defined/implemented in depsgraph.
This fix applying the following modifiers:
* Boolean (working already)
* Array
* Mesh Deform
* Surface Deform
* Vertex Weight Proximity
This function was to return evaluated mesh. So it should get the evaluated
object at all times. So in this case it makes more sense to simply pass the
depsgraph (or in this case the ModifierEvalContext that contains both the
depsgraph and the flag.
Solution discussed with Bastien Montagne.
The value of epsilon was never used to create this bvhtree because whenever we activate this constraint, a bvhtree with parameter epsilon 0.0 was created and cached.
Now all the fine-tuning is happening using parallel range settings structure,
which avoid passing long lists of arguments, allows extend fine-tuning further,
avoid having lots of various functions which basically does the same thing.
