DM evaluation code was simply never clearing the `deformedOnly` flag
when evaluating a generative modifier...
Quite astonishing this never got catched before, a lot of particle code
relies on valid value of this flag!!!
The Issue
=======
For a long time now MinGW has been unsupported and unmaintained and at this point,
it looks like something that we should just leave behind and move on.
Why Remove
==========
One of the big motivations for MinGW back in the day is that it was free compared to MSVC which was licensed based.
However, now that this is no longer true we have basically stopped updating the need CMake files.
Along with the CMake files, there are several patches to the extern libs needed to make this work. For example, see:
https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/extern/carve/patches/mingw_w64.patch
If we wanted to keep MinGW then we would need to make more custom patches to the external libs and
this is not something our platform maintainers are willing to do.
For example, here is the patches needed to build python: https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-python3
Fixes T51301

We had handling of fully duplicated polygons already, but... absolutely
nothing to sanitize partially merged polygons! This were giving us
totally invalid geometry, with duplicated vertices in single poly,
invalid edges, etc.
Now we do check for invalid loops inside polys, and generate new edges
as needed to get only valid polys.
For some reason this was a nightmare to get running fully OK, playing
with old and new indices is really, really mind breaking.
This feature got lost with new auto-track API,
Added it back by extending frame accessor class. This isn't really
a frame thing, but we don't have other type of accessor here.
Surely, we can use old-style API here and pass mask via region
tracker options for this particular case, but then it becomes much
less obvious how real auto-tracker will access this mask with old
style API.
So seems we do need an accessor for such data, just matter of
finding better place than frame accessor.
Previous method was based on face-area, giving un-even results
based on topology and gave issues with zero area faces.
This method gives matching results for concave ngons and the same geometry triangulated.
Those shall not be considered while checking whether a to-be-made-local
ID will end up fully local, or still be partially used by linked data...
Even less since we already do have special handling of proxies later.
Fixes main remaining issue found with 04_01_H.lighting.blend Agent327
file, and allows us to switch back to optimized post-processing in
make_local code.
That one tags those ugly little 'from' ID pointers (shape keys and
proxies), which point back from used to user ID, and require a lot of
special care in data-block management...
Again, Agent327's 04_01_H.lighting.blend shows some problem here, it
triggers several times the 'not used at all' assert in step 5 of secure
code, and with optimized version we lose the connection between
rigs and the main characters!
Will keep investigating on this, but for now let's try to give something
working to the studio.
This should not be needed imho, we already set POSE_RECALC flag
correctly there, but it still is missing actual update of poses in some
(complex and convoluted) cases. So at least for now, let's go with this
hack, it's not really harming anyone anyway.
Fixes crash in Agent327's 04_01_H.lighting.blend when making all local.
Not sure how this happens, but in some cases we can evaluate
deformations of an armature which pose is not valid, at least put a
warning here to help identifying the issue quickly.
Previously, every RenderPass would have a bitfield that specified its type. That limits the number of passes to 32, which was reached a while ago.
However, most of the code already supported arbitrary RenderPasses since they were also used to store Multilayer EXR images.
Therefore, this commit completely removes the passflag from RenderPass and changes all code to use the unique pass name for identification.
Since Blender Internal relies on hardcoded passes and to preserve compatibility, 32 pass names are reserved for the old hardcoded passes.
To support these arbitrary passes, the Render Result compositor node now adds dynamic sockets. For compatibility, the old hardcoded sockets are always stored and just hidden when the corresponding pass isn't available.
To use these changes, the Render Engine API now includes a function that allows render engines to add arbitrary passes to the render result. To be able to add options for these passes, addons can now add their own properties to SceneRenderLayers.
To keep the compositor input node updated, render engine plugins have to implement a callback that registers all the passes that will be generated.
From a user perspective, nothing should change with this commit.

Date: Fri Sep 16 08:47:56 2016 +0200
Fixed a bug in the Disney BSDF that caused specular reflections to be too
bright and diffuse is now reacting to the roughness again
- A normalization for the fresnel was missing which caused the specular
reflections to become too bright for the single-scatter GGX
- The roughness value for the diffuse BSSRDF part has always been
overwritten and thus always 0
- Also the performance for refractive materials with roughness=0.0 has
been improved
commit 7cb37d7119
Author: Pascal Schoen <pascal_schoen@gmx.net>
Date: Thu Sep 8 12:24:43 2016 +0200
Added selection field to the Disney BSDF node for switching between
"Multiscatter GGX" and "GGX"
In the "GGX" mode there is an additional parameter for changing the
refraction roughness for materials with smooth surfaces and rough interns
(e.g. honey). With the "Multiscatter GGX" this effect can't be produced at
the moment and so here will be no separation of the two roughness values.

commit dbad91ca6d
Author: Pascal Schoen <pascal_schoen@gmx.net>
Date: Wed Jul 20 11:13:00 2016 +0200
Added a roughness parameter for refractions (for scattering of the rays
within an object)
With this, one can create a translucent material with a smooth surface and
with a milky look.
The final refraction roughness has to be calculated using the surface
roughness and the refraction roughness because those two are correlated
for refractions. If a ray hits a rough surface of a translucent material,
it is scattered while entering the surface. Then it is scattered further
within the object. The calculation I'm using is the following:
RefrRoughnessFinal = 1.0 - (1.0 - Roughness) * (1.0 - RefrRoughness)

The absence of datablock properties "will certainly be resolved soon as the need for them is becoming obvious" said the [[http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.67/Python_Nodes|Python Nodes release notes]]. So this patch allows Python scripts to create ID Properties which reference datablocks.
This functionality is implemented for `PointerProperty` and now such properties can be created with Python.
In addition to the standard update callback, `PointerProperty` can have a `poll` callback (standard RNA) which is useful for search menus. For details see the test included in this patch.
