This was due to the GPUIndexBuf ranges only computed when requesting
the triangles indices. If the tris were already calculated, the new shading
batches would never have the GPUIndexBuf ranges and instead use the full
triangle index buffer.
So since this only happen when shading data does not match, we just save
the previous GPUIndexBuf ranges and reuse them for the new batch.
This patch is a bit of a hack on top of a hack but it works fine.
In rB9c010c44f420, DRW_mesh_batch_cache_create_requested was changed to
take a scene (instead of toolsettings directly), but
DRW_draw_depth_object is calling this with with NULL, just checking for
this seems to fix...

This is done because they don't have the same update frequency. UV can be
persistent even on geometry update (ex: skinned object) but tangents
can change if the normals change.
Also the name buffer per vbo was too small to contain all names.
For clarity sake, the batch cache now uses exclusively per Loop attributes.
While this is a bit of a waste of VRAM (for the few case where per vert
attribs are enough) it reduces the complexity and amount of overall VBO
to update in general situations.
This patch also makes the VertexBuffers filling multithreaded. This make
the update of dense meshes a bit faster. The main bottleneck is the
IndexBuffers update which cannot be multithreaded efficiently (have to
increment a counter and/or do a final sorting pass).
We introduce the concept of "extract" functions/step.
All extract functions are executed in one thread each and if possible,
using multiple thread for looping over all elements.

Previously in 2.79 we were using a specialized drawing using derivedMesh.
Now the subsurf modifier tag each center vertex as facedot and let the
DRWManager pick it up.
Some modifiers (deforming ones) do not clear the tag so we can use this
technique even if there is deforming modifiers after subsurf modifiers.
The wireframe drawing for face masks is intrusive as selected wires
were solid white and always drawn. This made it hard for users to see
the exact color near edges.
This patch draws only the border of the selected faces,
edges between two selected faces are not drawn at all.

The fix itself is by Germano Cavalcante (mano-wii).
But since I was investigating this with him, I'm including here an
assert in EDBM_select_id_bm_elem_get to help catching this sooner
in the future
This type of indices is not natively supported on modern GPU and
gives warning on some implementation. The memory savings it
provides is also quite minimal and unlikely to be visible on
nowadays hardware.
This remove some uneeded struct members and makes primitive
restart always enabled by default. This can be broken by addons
if they are not careful enough but many other states have this
problem.
Also leverage GL_PRIMITIVE_RESTART_FIXED_INDEX if
ARB_ES3_compatibility is supported. This removes all API calls
to change restart index depending on indices length.
Enabling the drawing of the mesh analysis overlay.
Currently the settings are part of the scene toolsettings. What makes sense,
for 3d printing, but does not fit well with the per viewport blender 2.80
overlays.
