This adds the LineArt grease pencil modifier.
It takes objects or collections as input and generates various grease
pencil lines from these objects with the help of the active scene
camera. For example it can generate contour lines, intersection lines
and crease lines to name a few.
This is really useful as artists can then use 3D meshes to automatically
generate grease pencil lines for characters, enviroments or other
visualization purposes.
These lines can then be baked and edited as regular grease pencil lines.

This patch is the result of the GSoC 2020 "Editing Grease Pencil Strokes
Using Curves" project. It adds a submode to greasepencil edit mode that
allows for the transformation of greasepencil strokes using bezier
curves. More information about the project can be found
here: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Filedescriptor/GSoC_2020.

This removes `foreachObjectLink` from `ModifierTypeInfo`, `GpencilModifierTypeInfo`
and `ShaderFxTypeInfo`. There is no need to have both, `foreachObjectLink` and `foreachIDLink`.
There is not code that actually depends on `foreachObjectLink`.

For modifier shortcuts we added a "custom_data" field to panels.
This commit uses the same system for accessing the list data that
corresponds to each panel. This way the context is only used once
and the modifier for each panel can be accessed more easily later.
This ends up being mostly a cleanup commit with a few small changes
in interface_panel.c. The large changes in the UI functions are due
to the fact that the panel custom data is now passed around as a
single pointer instead of being created again for every panel.
The list_index variable in Panel.runtime is removed as it's now
unnecessary.

This patch implements the list panel system D7490 for grease pencil
modifiers. It also moves their drawing to a callback in
GpencilModifierTypeInfo in line with the extensible architecture
refactoring goal T75724.
This also adds the "set_error" function for grease pencil modifiers,
which hadn't been copied from mesh modifiers yet.
The implementation is basically exactly the same as for the modifier
patch (9b099c8612).
Thanks to Matias Mendiola (mendio) for providing mockups for many
of the layout changes.

Prefer meaningful function names over redundant NULL arguments.
Also clarify variable names as it wasn't obvious the object-data
is part of the object target.
This commit is a full refactor of the grease pencil modules including Draw Engine, Modifiers, VFX, depsgraph update, improvements in operators and conversion of Sculpt and Weight paint tools to real brushes.
Also, a huge code cleanup has been done at all levels.
Thanks to @fclem for his work and yo @pepeland and @mendio for the testing and help in the development.

Before, the modifiers were evaluated in Draw Engine and this required to calculate a factor to increase the VBO size.
Now, the modifiers are evaluated in Depsgraph and the Draw Engine receives the evaluated stroke with the final number of vertices. As the number of vertices is the final value already, if Draw Manager increases the number with the modifiers only increases the memory with empty space because never would be used. This commit removes this double calculation, reducing the memory usage and removes a loop to calculate the size by modifier too.
Also, the function getDuplicationFactor() has been removed because is not required anymore.
This is a continuation of rB39f005eae8eed8b939579aff8c9a05a4f50e5e38
Now all the fields where we check for object type in RNA (like
rna_Curve_object_poll) will have a safe guard for when this isn't the
case. For example when loading files that has missing object libraries
and all missing objects are replaced with empties (placeholders).

This commit adds the frame to deformStroke Callback as a preparation for new modifiers that will need this variable.
Actually, the existing modifiers are not using the frame.

Thanks to @sergey for his help.
This change displays the stroke in the deformed position, but the edition is done in rest position.
This is no the final solution, but at least we have some visual feedback in edit mode.
The real solution is to create a full system to manage derived strokes in Edit mode, but this needs a lot of work and we haven't resources now to do it.
BLI should always comes first, before DNA, BKE etc. And
`BLI_utildefines.h` should come before any other BLI (since it's some
sort of system include really, among other things...).
Thisi should help to reduce the noise in patches when adding stuff
like uint64_t members to DNA structs... ;)
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

This is often invalid, outdated or misleading

It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.

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.
This commit adds a new armature modifier for grease pencil. The deformations are done reusing the mesh deform routines.
There is also a new operator in weight paint mode to help the artist to generate weights base on armatures. This operator is required because 2D animation workflow is not equal to meshes when parent an object to armatures.
In the drawing engine has been added the option to handle the Fade object parameter used in armatures to see the strokes while move the bones.
When rename bones, all related data of grease pencil is renamed too. This not only affect new armature code, but also layers parented and hook modifiers.
Thanks @aligorith for his review and help.
