This time, with have over 300% speedup!
But no, this is not due to switch to BLI_task (which 'only' gives usal 15% speedup),
but to enhancement of the algorithm, flatten loop over covariance matrix items now allows
to compute (usually) all items in parallel, instead of having at most 3 or 4 working threads
(with unbalanced load even)...
Gives the usual 10%-30% speedup on affected functions themselves (BLI_bvhtree_overlap() and
BLI_bvhtree_balance()), and about 2% speedup to overall cloth sim e.g. (measured from
main Cloth modifier func).
Also rearranged code here to not issue a draw call (explicit flush) per
face and not set shader per face either when stippled drawing is mixed
with regular drawing. Not good at all for performance.
Use Summary structure to collect all summary related on the shader compilation
process which then could be either simply reported to the log or be passed to
some user interface or so.
This is type of the summary / report which is most flexible and useful and
something we could use for other parts like shader optimization.
It's quite small chance we'll be supporting suitesparse for Blender due to all
the complexity of 3rd party libraries, so removing implementation files which
are only needed when suitesparse is enabled.
The idea of this commit is to merge nodes which has identical settings
and matching inputs into a single node in order to minimize number of
SVM instructions.
This is quite simple bottom-top graph traversal and the trickiest part
is how to compare node settings without too much trouble which seems to
be solved is quite clean way.
Still possibilities for further improvements:
- Support comparison of BSDF nodes
- Support comparison of volume nodes
- Support comparison of curve mapping/ramp nodes

This snippet creates a white balance modifier for the video sequence editor. It is useful for everyone who likes to set a new white point in the video source (easily via the eyedropper). Just select a point in the source file where you know that it should be white. The algorithm will then shift the colors towards your new white point.
See attached the image for a quick demo.

Gives a global speedup of about 5% in smoke simulation (as usual, parallelized chunks themselves
are about 15-25% quicker with BLI_task than with OMP), using a simple setup with two generators
(one from mesh, one from particles), an obstacle and a windfield.
When called with very small range, `BLI_task_parallel_range_ex()` would generate a zero `chunk_size`,
leading to some infinite looping in `parallel_range_func` due to `parallel_range_next_iter_get` returning
true without actually increasing the counter!
So now, we ensure `chunk_size` and `num_tasks` are always at least 1 (and avoid generating too much tasks too).
Issue was that dispatchEvent might call removeWindowEvents/
removeTypeEvents which will delete the event before we can do so.
To address this, handled events are now put in a separate list.
Reported by psy-fi and reviewed by brecht in IRC.
* Don't copy name before entering new_id function. new_id does that for
us already.
* Take a main argument to make the function possible to use with
different databases
* Append BKE_ to rename_id
renamed to Rotate to match the tool name.
It is not actually compulsory that the two must match since users can
change the name of a brush arbitrarily but at least try to have
consistent naming in our defaults.
The events are allocated on the heap, then pushed on a stack. Before
being processed, they are popped from the stack, and deleted after
processing is done. When the manager is destroyed (e.g. application
closing), any remaining event in the stack is detroyed.
Issue is that when the "application closing" event is processed, it is
never freed, because the manager gets destroyed before the call to
`delete` is made and the event is not on the stack anymore.
Now events are left on the stack while they are processed, and only
popped and deleted after processing is done.
As a slight bonus refactor: use void as return type for dispatch events
functions, as no caller is checking the return value, and it is not
clear what it means (suggested by the reviewer).

Historically blender had an audio sample rate of 44.1 kHz as default which is mostly popular because it's the sample rate of audio CDs. Audaspace kept using this default from the pre 2.5 era. It was about time to change to 48 kHz, which is a more widespread standard nowadays, especially in video. It is the recommended sampling rate of the Audio Engineering Society.

This is purely internal sanitizing/cleanup, no change in behavior is expected at all.
This change was also needed because we were getting short on ID flags, and
future enhancement of 'user_one' ID behavior requires two new ones.
id->flag remains for persistent data (fakeuser only, so far!), this also allows us
100% backward & forward compatibility.
New id->tag is used for most flags. Though written in .blend files, its content
is cleared at read time.
Note that .blend file version was bumped, so that we can clear runtimeflags from
old .blends, important in case we add new persistent flags in future.
Also, behavior of tags (either status ones, or whether they need to be cleared before/after use)
has been added as comments to their declaration.

Allows to quickly select alternate elems in a path (matching checker-deselect options).
- adds redo support to MESH_OT_shortest_path_pick, allowing for other options.
- de-duplicates code between 2x path select operators.
- expose 'Topology Distance' property for path picking.
- remove unused 'extend' property.
cmake_qtcreator_project.py now takes a '--build-dir' argument.
Since introduction of argparse, accessing last argv from project_info is no longer working.
Now require a call to project_info.init before use.
The is intended to replace the deprecated glPolygonStipple() calls with a shader
based alternative, once we switch over to GLSL shaders.

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.
