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 was wrong and violating design to force modifiers to query
evaluated objects and IDs. It is up to the caller to make sure
the object is properly evaluatable.
Effectively, reverting changes from de491abf99 (and possibly
other related changes).
The general idea of this change is to have a runtime data pointer
in the ModifierData, so it can be preserved through copy-on-write
updates by the dependency graph.
This is where subdivision surface modifier can store its topology
cache, so it is not getting trashed on every copy-on-write which
is happening when moving a vertex.
Similar mechanism should be used by multiresolution, dynamic paint
and some other modifiers which cache evaluated data.
This fixes T61746.
Thing to keep in mind, that there are more reports about slow
subdivision surface in the tracker, but that boils down to the
fact that those have a lot of extraordinary vertices, and hence
a lot slower to evaluated topology.
Other thing is, this speeds up oeprations which doesn't change
topology (i.e. moving vertices).

Stupid mistake in previous 'fixing' commit, I put the call computing
extra required source cddata masks into the callback used to get
destination (current object) cddata masks...
Source (i.e. other) mesh should not be modified in any case in modifier
evaluation case (this is forbidden by design and can lead to all kind of
threaded locks and crashes), and doing so even in operator case was
never a good idea either.
Now that we can specifically request needed data (poly and/or loop
normals) from evaluation code, we can finally get rid of those
computations inside data transfer/mesh remapping area.
This is hopefully the last remaining bit of this 'bad crashing code' in
datatransfer area.
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 what modifiers are to use to indicate that they depend
on a transformation of the object itself.
Currently should be no functional changes, but in the future
this will allow to easily change transform operation depending
on whether there is a simulation associated with the object.
Turns out most of our 'local working copy' cases can use same set of
flags.
Note that this commit adds LIB_ID_COPY_CACHES to all our local meshes
copying, however this is no-op since that flag is unused during mesh
copying... We may want to add another set of flags without that one at
some point, but for now it would not be useful imho.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

Fix T58237: Exporters: Curve Modifier not applied when "apply modifiers" are selected.
Fix T58856: Python: "to_mesh" broken in 2.8.
...And many other cases... ;)
Thing is, we need target IDs to always be evaluated ones (at least I
cannot see any case where having orig ones is desired effect here).
Depsgraph/Cow system ensures us that when modifiers are evaluated by it,
but they can also be called outside of this context, e.g. when doing
binding, or object conversion...
So we need to ensure in modifiers code that we actually are always
working with eval data for those targets.
Note that I did not touch to physics modifiers, those are a bit touchy
and rather not 'fix' something there until proven broken!
Move all mask-related fields from Object and OperationDepsNode
to Object_Runtime and IDDepsNode. Auto-apply DEG_TAG_GEOMETRY
if the mask changes after DEG rebuild. Update DEG API and all
code that uses it.
This fixes "source mesh data is not ready" errors from Data
Transfer modifier when parameters are changed in the UI after

When a modifier depends on some other object's position, then it also
depends in its own position, this has to be also told to depsgraph.
Fixes several modifiers where moving target would update the modifier,
while moving modified object itself would not.
There were a few copies of the same few lines in depsgraph build code,
so it seems to be logical to introduce a function for it, and make it
accessible from C code for completeness.
As an example, register the mask needs of the Data Transfer modifier.
This was actually rather hairy, this code is huge and complicated, easy
to make mistakes...
Good thing is, it will allow for significant simplification and more
(name) cleanup in following commits ;)
The contents of the ModifierEvalContext struct are constant while iterating
over the modifier stack. The struct thus should be only created once, outside
any loop over the modifiers.
Makes the follow changes:
- Add new `deform*` and `apply*` function pointers to `ModifierTypeInfo` that take `Mesh`, and rename the old functions to indicate that they take `DerivedMesh`. These new functions are currently set to `NULL` for all modifiers.
- Add wrapper `modifier_deform*` and `modifier_apply*` functions in two variants: one that works with `Mesh` and the other which works with `DerivedMesh` that is named with `*_DM_depercated`. These functions check which type of data the modifier supports and converts if necessary
- Update the rest of Blender to be aware and make use of these new functions
The goal of these changes is to make it possible to port to using `Mesh` incrementally without ever needing to enter into a state where modifiers don't work. After everything has been ported over the old functions and wrappers could be removed.

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.
Better to have clear way to tell whether flag is parameter for
BKE_library_foreach_ID_link(), parameter for its callback function, or
return value from this callback function.
Checking only whether mverts is same as base mesh one is not enough in
all cases, some modifiers (deform ones) can only generate new mvert
data, while keeping others from original mesh.
Now checking both mvert or medge, hopefully this will be enough to catch
all problematic cases this time.
Thanks @gaia for finding that problem. :)
Also, fix own stupidity, no need to define ID callback in case we only have objects,
calling code knows to fallback to `foreachObjectLink()` when `foreachIDLink()` is missing...
This allows to match and transfer data between two meshes with similar shape but complete arbitrary different transform.
Note that the result will be best if the meshes (more precisely, their vertices) are exact copies of each other.
Otherwise, method used can only perform an approximated best match, which means you'll likely get better
results if you 'visually' make them match in 3D space (and use 'Object Transform') instead.
