- Use BLI_threadpool_ prefix for (deprecated)
thread/listbase API.
- Use BLI_thread as prefix for other functions.
See P614 to apply instead of manually resolving conflicts.
- When returning the number of items in a collection use BLI_*_len()
- Keep _size() for size in bytes.
- Keep _count() for data structures that don't store length
(hint this isn't a simple getter).

This is kind of doesn't matter where macro itself is defined.
We should stick to the following:
- If some macro is actually more an inline function, follow regular
function name conventions.
- If macro is a macro, type it in capitals. Use module prefix if that
helps readability or it if helps avoiding accidents.
This isn't supported since there are subsequent reads to all point coordinates
after modification started.
Probably we need to create a temp copy of point, but that's like extra CPU
ticks.
Previously quads always split along first-third vertices.
This is still the default, to avoid flickering with animated deformation
however concave quads that would create two opposing triangles now use
second-fourth split.
Reported as T53999 although this issue has been known limitation
for a long time.
The idea is to support following: allow doing parallel for on a small range,
each iteration of which takes lots of compute power, but limit such range to
a subset of threads.
For example, on a machine with 44 threads we can occupy 4 threads to handle
range of 64 elements, 16 elements per thread, where each block of 16 elements
is very complex to compute.
The idea should be to use this setting instead of global use_threading flag,
which is only based on size of array. Proper use of the new flag will improve
threadability.
This commit only contains internal task scheduler changes, this setting is not
used yet by any areas.
Now all the fine-tuning is happening using parallel range settings structure,
which avoid passing long lists of arguments, allows extend fine-tuning further,
avoid having lots of various functions which basically does the same thing.
The idea is to avoid any threading overhead when we start pushing tasks in a
loop. Similarly to how we do it from the new dependency graph. Gives couple of
percent of speedup here, but also improves scalability.
For some blend modes there would be no effect with factor 1.0, even if factor
0.999 would give a very different image. Now the result should have no
discontinuity.
