Support calculating face normals when tessellating. When this is done
before updating vertex normals it gives ~20% performance improvement.
Now vertex normal calculation only needs to perform a single pass on the
mesh vertices when called after tessellation.
Extended versions of normal & looptri update functions have been added:
- BM_mesh_calc_tessellation_ex
- BM_mesh_normals_update_ex
Most callers don't need to be aware of this detail by using:
- BKE_editmesh_looptri_and_normals_calc
- BKE_editmesh_looptri_and_normals_calc_with_partial
- EDBM_update also takes advantage of this,
where calling EDBM_update with calc_looptri & calc_normals
enabled uses the faster normal updating logic.
This patch exposes functionality for performing partial mesh updates
for normal calculation and face tessellation while transforming a mesh.
The partial update data only needs to be generated once,
afterwards the cached connectivity information can be reused
(with the exception of changing proportional editing radius).
Currently this is only used for transform, in the future it could be
used for other operators as well as the transform panel.
The best-case overall speedup while transforming geometry is about
1.45x since the time to update a small number of normals and faces is
negligible.
For an additional speedup partial face tessellation is multi-threaded,
this gives ~15x speedup on my system (timing tessellation alone).
Exact results depend on the number of CPU cores available.

With constructive + deform modifiers, loop-cut visualization
wasn't following the displayed mesh.
This now gets the coordinates from the cage when available.
This replaces header include guards with `#pragma once`.
A couple of include guards are not removed yet (e.g. `__RNA_TYPES_H__`),
because they are used in other places.
This patch has been generated by P1561 followed by `make format`.

Remove this pointer since it's linking Mesh data back to the object,
where a single edit-mesh may have multiple object users,
causing incorrect assumptions in the code.
Resolves dangling pointer part of the T72667 crash,
although there are other issues which still need to be fixed.
In EDBM_op_finish and EDBM_update_generic,
full Main lookups have been added which should be replaced with mesh
argument or the update tagging moved elsewhere.
Note that this is a bit clumsy having both edit-mesh and mesh,
BKE_editmesh_ensure_autosmooth & BKE_editmesh_lnorspace_update
are often called together, these could be made into a single functions.
This introduces object mode tagging for data which hasn't yet been
written back to the ID data.
Now when selecting other sculpt objects, the original objects data is
flushed back to the ID before writing a memfile undo step.
We already have different storages for cddata of verts, edges etc.,
'simply' do the same for the mask flags we use all around Blender code
to request some data, or limit some operation to some layers, etc.
Reason we need this is that some cddata types (like Normals) are
actually shared between verts/polys/loops, and we don’t want to generate
clnors everytime we request vnors!
As a side note, this also does final fix to T59338, which was the
trigger for this patch (need to request computed loop normals for
another mesh than evaluated one).

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.
The depsgraph was always created within a fixed evaluation context. Passing
both risks the depsgraph and evaluation context not matching, and it
complicates the Python API where we'd have to expose both which is not so
easy to understand.
This also removes the global evaluation context in main, which assumed there
to be a single active scene and view layer.

2.8x branch added bContext arg in many places,
pass eval-context instead since its not simple to reason about what
what nested functions do when they can access and change almost anything.
Also use const to prevent unexpected modifications.
This fixes crash loading files with shadows,
since off-screen buffers use a NULL context for rendering.
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.
since enough bmesh operations can also take advantage of direct index lookups on verts/edges/faces.
developers note:
- EDBM_index_arrays_init/ensure/free -> BM_mesh_elem_table_ensure/init/free
- EDBM_vert/edge/face_at_index -> BM_vert/edge/face_at_index
- EDBM_uv_element_map_create/free -> BM_uv_element_map_create/free
- ED_uv_element_get -> BM_uv_element_get
internal improvement to editmesh_bvh.c
- optionally pass cage-coords as an arg, rather then calculating the coords in BKE_bmbvh_new(),
since all callers already have coords calculated.
- de-duplicate coords creation function from knife and bmbvhm, move into own generic function: BKE_editmesh_vertexCos_get()
