This change makes it so current frame is queried from a scene rather
than from a dependency graph. This makes it possible to avoid the
fact that dependency graph might not be fully evaluated yet.
There are still some cases where it frame is queried from the graph,
but those seems to be in a code path where we need to ensure valid
dependency graph anyway.

Cheap tip: anything that is not "Camel Case" and/or that is more than
a few words long should use `TIP_` translation, not `IFACE_` one.
Also added several missing strings (including the one reported in D5056
by Jean First (@robbott), thanks).
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- 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This is often invalid, outdated or misleading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.

The GP_STROKE_RECALC_CACHE identifier was changed to GP_STROKE_RECALC_GEOMETRY because the previous name was confusing and could be confused with the recalculation of the Draw Manager cache.
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
Before, the weight data array was created always, but now only is added when a weight value is assigned.
This change was suggested by algorithm, and both agreed it was good idea.
This commit merge the full development done in greasepencil-object branch and include mainly the following features.
- New grease pencil object.
- New drawing engine.
- New grease pencil modes Draw/Sculpt/Edit and Weight Paint.
- New brushes for grease pencil.
- New modifiers for grease pencil.
- New shaders FX.
- New material system (replace old palettes and colors).
- Split of annotations (old grease pencil) and new grease pencil object.
- UI adapted to blender 2.8.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
Key shortcuts and explanation about how to use the tool should go to the
status bar, but other info can in the header so it's near where the user
is working. This distinction has not been made yet for all operators.
For example, if you have two keyframes:
k1 = 1px, k2 = 10px
it was doing:
1px, 9px, 8px, ..., 3px, 2px, 10px
instead of:
1px, 2px, 3px, ..., 8px, 9px, 10px
To make it faster to try different interpolation curves, there's a new operator
"Remove Breakdowns" which will delete all breakdowns sandwiched by normal
keyframes (i.e. all the ones that the previous run of the Interpolation op created)
This commit introduces the ability to use the Robert Penner easing equations
or a Custom Curve to control the way that the "Interpolate Sequence" operator
interpolates between keyframes. Previously, it was only possible to get linear
interpolation between the gp frames.
Workflow:
1) Place current frame between a pair of GP keyframes
2) Open the "Interpolate" panel in the Toolshelf
3) Choose the interpolation type (under "Sequence Options")
4) Adjust settings (e.g. if you're using "Custom Curve", use the curvemap widget
to define the way that the interpolation proceeds)
5) Click "Sequence" to interpolate
6) Play back/scrub the animation to see if you've got the result you want
7) If you need to make some tweaks, undo, or delete the generated keyframes,
then repeat the process again from step 4 until you've got the desired result.
The "gp_sculpt" settings should be strictly for stroke sculpting, and not abused by
other tools. (Similarly, if other general GP tools need one-off options, those should
go into the normal toolsettings->gpencil_flag)
Furthermore, this paves the way for introducing new settings for controlling the way
that GP interpolation takes place (e.g. with easing equations, or a custom curvemap)
* Reshuffled some blocks of code for better ease of navigation/flow in the file
* Improved some tooltips
* Removed "Helper" tag from some functions that serve bigger roles
* Fixed some errant formatting
The interpolation operators (and their associated code) occupied a significant
portion of gpencil_edit.c (which was getting a bit heavy). So, it's best to split
these out into a separate file to make things easier to handle, in preparation
for some further dev work.
