Previously it was returning short, which was really easy to (a) compare against
non-ID type value (b) forget to handle some specific value in switch statement.
Both issues happened in the nearest past, so it's time to tighten some nuts
here.
Most of the change related on silencing strict compiler warning now, but there
is also one tricky aspect: ID_NLA is not in the IDType enum. So there is still
cast to short to handle that switch. If someone has better ideas how to deal
with this please go ahead :)
Note that some little parts of code have been dissabled because eval_ctx
was not available there. This should be resolved once DerivedMesh is
replaced.

User Commit Log
---------------
* New Layer and Collection system to replace render layers and viewport layers.
* A layer is a set of collections of objects (and their drawing options) required for specific tasks.
* A collection is a set of objects, equivalent of the old layers in Blender. A collection can be shared across multiple layers.
* All Scenes have a master collection that all other collections are children of.
* New collection "context" tab (in Properties Editor)
* New temporary viewport "collections" panel to control per-collection
visibility
Missing User Features
---------------------
* Collection "Filter"
Option to add objects based on their names
* Collection Manager operators
The existing buttons are placeholders
* Collection Manager drawing
The editor main region is empty
* Collection Override
* Per-Collection engine settings
This will come as a separate commit, as part of the clay-engine branch
Dev Commit Log
--------------
* New DNA file (DNA_layer_types.h) with the new structs
We are replacing Base by a new extended Base while keeping it backward
compatible with some legacy settings (i.e., lay, flag_legacy).
Renamed all Base to BaseLegacy to make it clear the areas of code that
still need to be converted
Note: manual changes were required on - deg_builder_nodes.h, rna_object.c, KX_Light.cpp
* Unittesting for main syncronization requirements
- read, write, add/copy/remove objects, copy scene, collection
link/unlinking, context)
* New Editor: Collection Manager
Based on patch by Julian Eisel
This is extracted from the layer-manager branch. With the following changes:
- Renamed references of layer manager to collections manager
- I doesn't include the editors/space_collections/ draw and util files
- The drawing code itself will be implemented separately by Julian
* Base / Object:
A little note about them. Original Blender code would try to keep them
in sync through the code, juggling flags back and forth. This will now
be handled by Depsgraph, keeping Object and Bases more separated
throughout the non-rendering code.
Scene.base is being cleared in doversion, and the old viewport drawing
code was poorly converted to use the new bases while the new viewport
code doesn't get merged and replace the old one.

```
Pretty straight forward actually, just do not bother about obdata part
of vgroups in that case, only copy object part of it.
And let's curse once again those stuff spread accross several types of
data-blocks...
We were calling BLI_remlink and then BLI_insertlinkbefore/after quite often. BLI_listbase_link_move simplifies code a bit and makes it easier to follow. It also returns if link position has changed which can be used to avoid unnecessary updates.
Added it to a number of list reorder operators for now and made use of return value. Behavior shouldn't be changed.
Also some minor cleanup.
These may be exposed in UI (keymap editor & redo panel), so better avoid using identifiers like "UP" "DOWN". They are redundant anyway (already displayed).
Idea is to replace hard-to-track (id->lib != NULL) 'is linked datablock' check everywhere in Blender
by a macro doing the same thing. This will allow to easily spot those checks in future, and more importantly,
to easily change it (see work done in asset-engine branch).
Note: did not touch to readfile.c, since there most of the time 'id->lib' check actually concerns the pointer,
and not a check whether ID is linked or not. Will have a closer look at it later.

Corrects mirror syncing for invert, levels & smooth.
Note that the code changed to process mirroring even if both verts are selected,
since group flipping can mean that is still meaningful.
Since weight_other is equal to weight_accum_prev[i_other], the original
lines actually are no-op. The visible effect is that when smoothing just
two vertices with weights 1 and 0, the expand value has no effect until
it reaches exactly 1. This change makes it gradual.
It also fixes another issue (crash) related to symmetric editing.
Quite involved, we (try to!) fix complete broken logic of parts of particle code, which would use poly index
as tessface one (or vice-versa). Issue most probably goes back to BMesh integration time...
This patch mostly fixes particle editing mode:
- Adding/removing particles when using generative modifiers (like subsurf) should now work.
- Adding/removing particles with a non-tessellated mesh (i.e. one having ngons) should also mostly work.
- X-axis-mirror-editing particles over ngons does not really work, not sure why currently.
- All this in both 'modes' (with or without using modifier stack for particles).
Tech side:
- Store a deformed-only DM in particle modifier data.
- Rename existing DM to make it clear it's a final one.
- Use deformed-only DM's tessface2poly mapping to 'solve' poly/tessface mismatches.
- Make (part of) mirror-editing code able to use a DM instead of raw mesh, so that we can mirror based on final DM
when editing particles using modifier stack (mandatory, since there is no way currently to find orig tessface
from an final DM tessface index).
Note that this patch is not really nice and clean (current particles are beyond hope on this side anyway),
it's more like some urgency bandage. Whole crap needs complete rewrite anyway,
BMesh's polygons make it really hard to work with current system (and looptri would not help much here).
Also, did not test everything possibly affected by those changes, so it needs some users' testing & validation too.

We can now use 'generic' data transfer instead.
Note new one is not an exact replacement, it should be able to do
everyting old op could do though, and more.
Along with some minor cleanup and simplifications.
