One issue that especially newer users often run into is that they accidentally reset changes to the scene by switching frame without creating a keyframe first.
Therefore, this commit adds a new color that is used to draw properties if their current value differs from the one that would be set when switching to this frame.
This works both for existing keyframes as well as for currently interpolated frames.
Unfortunately the flags in but->flag are full, so I had to move the new flag to but->drawflag and pass that to all relevant functions.
I went with orange for the color since afaics it fits with the green and yellow that are currently used for keyframe states and since it's somewhat reddish to signify that there might be something to look out for here.

The fix itself simply is to store the cage object as a pointer instead
of a string/name.
That said baking with or without cage is yielding very different results
than in 2.7.
There were at least three copies of those:
- OB_RECALC* family of flags, which are rudiment of an old
dependency graph system.
- PSYS_RECALC* which were used by old dependency graph system
as a separate set since the graph itself did not handle
particle systems.
- DEG_TAG_* which was used to tag IDs.
Now there is a single set, which defines what can be tagged
and queried for an update. It also has some aggregate flags
to make queries simpler.
Lets once and for all solve the madness of those flags, stick
to a single set, which will not overlap with anything or require
any extra conversion.
Technically, shouldn't be measurable user difference, but some
of the agregate flags for few dependency graph components did
change.
Fixes T58632: Particle don't update rotation settings
That one was flagged as useless since 2.77, and only kept 'to be sure'
everything was OK. This was years ago now, and never got any report on
this, so 2.8 sounds like a good time to nuke it.
Move all mask-related fields from Object and OperationDepsNode
to Object_Runtime and IDDepsNode. Auto-apply DEG_TAG_GEOMETRY
if the mask changes after DEG rebuild. Update DEG API and all
code that uses it.
This fixes "source mesh data is not ready" errors from Data
Transfer modifier when parameters are changed in the UI after
the recent mesh_get_eval_final fix.

There was a bug due to non-aligned struct in the DNA that prevented us
to increase the size of the userdef light array.
Since the studio lights are now presets and stored in external files,
there is no need to keep backward compatibility with theses lights.
Remove the old array and create a new one.
Add blue tint light for specular.
Shadow focus let the user choose how hard are is the shadows transition.
Harder shadow transition can be used for stylistic effects or more uniform
shading.
Make shadow orientation respect the same orientation as the studio light
(view from +Y direction aka. front view). Make the default shadow direction
more similar to the default light position (the default light object, not
the default studio lighting).
This changes a bit how the userprefs solid lights works. They are not
visible until enabling the "Edit Solid Light" checkbox. Once enabled the
current studiolight used for solid mode will be overwritten.
Once the lighting settings are tweaked, the user can click the
"Save as Studio light" button to save the current settings.
This makes it easy to create new lighting without messing the other
presets.
The studio lights are stored as ASCII files on the disk using a dead
simple custom format.
The UI/UX is not perfect and will be improved in other commits.
Also includes:
* Separate LookDev HDRI selection from Solid Lights
* Hide LookDev HDRIs from the Solid Lights selection list
Not sure what those #ifdef's were supposed to do exactly... But one
thing is for sure, clearing that flag in particlesettings after first
encounter would prevent transferring it properly to other objects that
would use same particlesettings.
The old onion skinning used in 2.7x has been ported and converted to 2.8. Only basic features have been included. For more advanced onion skin features, use grease pencil objects.
Onion Skin is supported in View 3D and Sequencer.
This is in order to have more flexible ligthing presets in the future.
The diffuse lighting from hdris was nice but lacked the corresponding
specular information. This is an attempt to make it possible to customize
the lighting and have a cheap/easy/nice-looking pseudo-PBR workflow.
* Add cheap PBR to Workbench with fresnel and better roughness support.
This improves the look of the metallic surfaces and is easier to control.
* Add ambient light to studio lights settings: just a constant color added
to the shading.
* Add Smooth option to studio lights settings: This option fakes the
effect of making the light bigger making the lighting smoother for this
light. Smoother lights gets reflected like a background hdri.
* Change default light settings to include the smooth params.
* Remove specular highlights from flat shading. (could be added back but
how do we make it good looking?)
* If specular lighting is disabled, use base color without using metallic.
* Include a lot of code simplification/cleanup/confusion fix.
A few reasons motivating this change:
* It works well for all devices: mouse, trackpad, and tablet pens.
* For beginners or users coming from other software, it's easier to get
started and avoids an initial stumbling block.
* Many users in 2.7 (about half?) were already using left click select, so
combined with the above advantages it makes for a practical default.
Note that we continue to support right click select, as many experienced
Blender users (and developers) see efficiency advantages in this approach.
The option to switch is in the first time setup splash screen, and in the
user preferences.
The approach is fairly simple, just apply an edge detection filter to the view normal and scale the brightness based on that.
The overlay is disabled at object boundaries to avoid dark lines around objects.
Generally, this implementation follows the proposal of @monio at https://blender.community/c/rightclickselect/J9bbbc.
The changes are:
- Dynamic filter radius (on high-DPI displays, a radius of two is used)
- Options to reduce the strength of both ridges and valleys
- Tweaked function for the strength reduction (the original method actually had a local maximum, resulting in a brighter line inside valleys)
- Multiplication for blending instead of overlay, which doesn't work reliably with scene-referred intensities
- Renamed to point out the distinction between it and the SSAO-based cavity overlay

The old behavior with two clicks evolved out of a gesture system, and it can
have some advantages if you want to press more keys to constrain for example. But
this seems a better default.
Implements the first changes for T54115:
* Rename "User Preferences" window to "Settings" in the UI.
We'll likely put workspace settings in there, separate from the global
user settings. System settings should become separate from user
settings in future to allow settings for specific hardware.
* Add sidebar region for navigation (scrolls independently).
Addresses space problems, so we can add more categories as needed now.
* Increase size of Settings window to compensate new navigation bar.
* Group sections into User Preferences and System.
Icons for section groups by Andrzej Ambroz. Thanks!
* Bumps subversion for file compatibility.

I also added categories for future work, but commented them out.
We may also want to redesign contents of each section now.

Bring back per-viewport localview. This is based on Blender 2.79.
We have a limit of 16 different local view viewports.
We are using both the numpad /, as well as the regular /.
Missing features:
* Hack to make sure lights are always visible.
* Make rendered mode with external engines to support this as well
(probably just need to support this in the RNA iterators).
* Support over 16 viewports by taking existing viewports out of local view.
The code can use a cleanup pass in the future to unify the test to see
if an object is visible (or we can use TESTBASE in more places).
Computing the shape of a B-Bone is a quite expensive operation, and
there are multiple constraints that can access this information in
a variety of useful ways. This means computing the shape once per
bone and saving it is good for performance.
Since the shape may depend on the position of up to two other bones,
often in a "cyclic" manner, this computation has to be a separate
node with its own dependencies.

Grease Pencil already implements support for full-featured
per-brush pressure curves, but it is useful to have some
basic global settings that affect all brushes and tools.
This adds two simple options:
- Raw pressure required to achieve full brush intensity.
- Softness control, using a gamma curve internally.
The most important one is the max pressure setting, because it is
critical for ergonomics, but the Linux Wacom driver lacks it.
The softness option internally converts to gamma = 4^-softness.

This is part of T57829.
Reduce the number of batches used to only one by shader type. This reduces GPU overhead and increase a lot the FPS. As the number of batches is small, the time to allocate and free memory was reduced in 90% or more.
Also the code has been simplified and all batch management has been removed because this is not necessary. Now, all shading groups are created after all vertex buffer data for all strokes has been created using DRW_shgroup_call_range_add().
All batch cache data has been moved to the Object runtime struct and not as before where some parts (derived data) were saved inside GPD datablock.
For particles, now the code is faster and cleaner and gets better FPS.
Thanks to Clément Foucault for his help and advices to improve speed.
