From recent experience, turns out we often do want to use something else than basic
range of parallelized forloop as control parameter over threads usage, so now BLI func
only takes a boolean, and caller defines best check for its own case.
Usual 10%-15% speedup. Note that here OMP was rather erratic, with typical
timing about 10% slower than BLI_task, but having some 'burnouts' (~10% of times)
were it would be over ten times slower than usual... BLI_task looks much more stable.
This commit integrates the work done so far on the new dependency graph system,
where goal was to replace legacy depsgraph with the new one, supporting loads of
neat features like:
- More granular dependency relation nature, which solves issues with fake cycles
in the dependencies.
- Move towards all-animatable, by better integration of drivers into the system.
- Lay down some basis for upcoming copy-on-write, overrides and so on.
The new system is living side-by-side with the previous one and disabled by
default, so nothing will become suddenly broken. The way to enable new depsgraph
is to pass `--new-depsgraph` command line argument.
It's a bit early to consider the system production-ready, there are some TODOs
and issues were discovered during the merge period, they'll be addressed ASAP.
But it's important to merge, because it's the only way to attract artists to
really start testing this system.
There are number of assorted documents related on the design of the new system:

* http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/DependencyGraph
There are also some user-related information online:

Kudos to everyone who was involved into the project:
- Joshua "Aligorith" Leung -- design specification, initial code
- Lukas "lukas_t" Toenne -- integrating code into blender, with further fixes
- Sergey "Sergey" "Sharybin" -- some mocking around, trying to wrap up the
project and so
- Bassam "slikdigit" Kurdali -- stressing the new system, reporting all the
issues and recording/writing documentation.
- Everyone else who i forgot to mention here :)
- made precision configurable.
- report a warning when doubles are found since they cause problems.
added Polygon.center attribute to avoid calculating in python.
A previous bugfix disabled the dynamic paint modifier for orco texture
coordinate evaluation of the modifier stack. However the MOD_APPLY_USECACHE
flag is not a good way to check if the modifier is evaluated for orcos.
Instead I've added a MOD_APPLY_ORCO flag. Also removed a bunch of
applyModifierEM callbacks, none of them served a purpose except for the
subsurf modifier.
Based on patch [#30837] UV Offset Modifier
by Pawel Kowal (pkowal)
- Allows you to setup a transformation between objects to apply to UV coords.
- Option to select which axis apply to U/V.
- Option to select the UV center (needed for transformations that scale or rotate).
- Uses from/to objects in a similar way to the Warp modifier.
- Vertex group can be used to adjust influence.
