We've got quite comprehensive BMesh based implementation, which is way easier
for maintenance than abandoned Carve library.
After all the time BMesh implementation was working on the same level of
limitations about manifold meshes and touching edges than Carve. Is better
to focus on maintaining one boolean implementation now.

This patch changes the huge list of projects in visual studio into a nice tree matching the source folder structure. see D2823 for details.

Use the libraries if they exist in ../lib/linux_x86_64 or similar, so
that you can run "make deps && make full" to get a full static build.
Note that install_deps.sh is still the only officially supported way to
build Blender dependencies on Linux, but this may be useful to some.

cmake's link_directories will supply forward slashes for the search paths, the msvc linker has some issues with that, while it will search for the needed libs just fine, the incremental linker gets fed forward slashes for some libs, while the previous binary has backward slashes in it's metadata, the linker assumes obj files got added and performs a full link instead of an incremental link. This change brings down the link time with newer msvc versions for a trivial edit down from a few minutes to a few seconds.
This removes a bunch of code that is no longer needed, and running
"make update" will now automatically download the new libraries.

It has been deprecated since at least macOS 10.9 and fully removed in 10.12.
I am unsure if we should remove it only in 2.8. But you cannot build blender with it supported when using a modern xcode version anyway so I would tend towards just removing it also for 2.79 if that ever happens.

We stop using the .zip file and just have all files now in
lib/darwin/python/lib, along with numpy, numpy headers and requests.
This makes it consistent with Linux and simplifies code.
For old libraries the .zip stays, code for that gets removed when we
fully switch to new libraries.
The Issue
=======
For a long time now MinGW has been unsupported and unmaintained and at this point,
it looks like something that we should just leave behind and move on.
Why Remove
==========
One of the big motivations for MinGW back in the day is that it was free compared to MSVC which was licensed based.
However, now that this is no longer true we have basically stopped updating the need CMake files.
Along with the CMake files, there are several patches to the extern libs needed to make this work. For example, see:
https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/extern/carve/patches/mingw_w64.patch
If we wanted to keep MinGW then we would need to make more custom patches to the external libs and
this is not something our platform maintainers are willing to do.
For example, here is the patches needed to build python: https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-python3

It is disabled by default, so should not affect existing configurations.
Main benefits of this goes as:
- Linux distros can use that to avoid libraries duplication and link
blender package against gflags package from the system.
- It it easier to test whether Blender works with updated version of
Gflags prior to re-bundling the library.
