ee98dc8d0f Fix T77277: building depsgraph inter-driver relations is slow
The extra depsgraph relations that were added to prevent threading
issues during evaluation (rB4c30dc343165) caused a considerable slowdown
on complex scenes with many drivers (T77277, T78615). This commit
improves this as follows.

Only the following drivers are considered for execution serialisation:
- Drivers on Array elements, and
- Drivers on Boolean or Enum properties.

Relations between drivers of the same arrays are added blindly, i.e.
without checking for transitive or cyclic relations. This is possible as
other relations will just target the `PROPERTIES_ENTRY` or
`PROPERTIES_EXIT` nodes.

Checking whether a driver is on an array is first done by checking
`array_index > 0`, and then falling back to resolving the RNA path to an
RNA property and inspecting that.

The code also avoids circular dependencies when there are multiple
drivers on the same property. This not something that is expected to
happen (both the UI and the Python API prevent duplicate drivers), it
did happen in a file (F8669945, example file of T78615) and it is easy
to deal with here.
