This commit makes it so curve path parent solving accepts an explicit
arguments for both time and curve speed flag, making it so we don't
have to mock around with scene's frame.
One unfortunate issue still is that if the instancing object is used
for something else, we might be running into a threading conflict.
Possible solution would be to create a temp copy of an object, but
then it will be an issue of preventing drivers from modifying other
datablocks.
At least the original issue is fixed now, and things behave same as
in older Blender version. Additionally, the global variable which
was defining curve speed flag behavior is gone now!
this was working for object/collection display/render but lattice was
not taken into account for non object/collection display/render types
(halo, axis, cross, circle, ...)

This now only upload data per loops to the GPU, making use of index buffer
to draw polygon. This make use of the vertex cache, speed up renders
and saves a lot of vram.
Update performance is also slightly faster and can even be improved further
by updating only uvs or vcol independently.
This commits breaks texture paint batches. It will be added back in another
commit.
This changes the bent normal effect to be a bit more subtle.
I also tuned down the bent normal blending factor so mesh faceted look may
appear more in occluded regions. this is to increase the fidelity of the
indirect lighting. This blending might be a parameter in the future.

This commit adds support for new curve tool and adds more functionalities to the existing primitives, including new handles, editing, stroke thickness curve, noise, preview of the real stroke, etc.
Thanks to @charlie for his great contribution to this improvement.
This changes a bit the batches data structure. Instead of using one
vbo per material we use one for all material and use index buffers for
selecting the correct triangles.
This is less optimized than before but has potential to become more
optimized by merging the wireframe data vbo into the shading one.
Also the index buffers are not strictly necessary and could be just
ranges inside the buffer. But this needs more adding things inside
GPUIndexBuf.
Shaded triangles are not yet implemented (request from gpumaterials).
This also changes the mechanism to draw curve normals to make it not
dependant on normal size display. This way different viewport can
reuse the same batch.
