Main purpose is to make it possible to cover FPS detection with regression test.
But it might also be handy for some other scripters.
Thanks Campbell for review!
This started with a fix for an animated Object Hierarchy. Then i decided to cleanup and optimize a bit. But at the end this has become a more or less full rewrite of the Animation Exporter. All of this happened in a separate local branch and i have retained all my local commits to better see what i have done.
Brief description:
* I fixed a few issues with exporting keyframed animations of object hierarchies where the objects have parent inverse matrices which differ from the Identity matrix.
* I added the option to export sampled animations with a user defined sampling rate (new user interface option)
* I briefly tested Object Animations and Rig Animations.
What is still needed:
* Cleanup the code
* Optimize the user interface
* Do the Documentation

This is used to determine which voxels are to be considered empty space.
Previously it was hardcoded for converting dense grids to OpenVDB grids
to reduce disk space usage.
This value is also useful for rendering engines to know, i.e. to
optimize ray marching.
This completes twist feature, which is now possible to also control by
texture. Since textures can not easily contain negative values as well,
same trick with 0.5 neutral as vertex groups is used.
All in all, this twist features allows to do following things.
Original hair:
{F2287535}
Hair with scientifically calculated twist value of 0.5:
{F2287540}
And we can also twist braids in opposite directions dependent on left/right
side:
{F2287548}
The idea is to give a control over direction of twist, and maybe amount of
twist as well. More concrete example: make braids on left and right side of
character head to be twisting opposite directions.
Now, tricky part: we need some negative values to flip direction, but weights
can not be negative. So we use same trick as displacement map and tangent normal
maps, where 0.5 is neutral, values below 0.5 are considered negative and values
above 0.5 are considered positive.
It allows to have children hair to be twisted around parent curve, which is
quite an essential feature when creating hair braids.
There are currently two controls:
- Number of turns around parent children.
- Influence curve, which allows to modify "twistness" along the strand.
It is basically brute force volume scattering within the mesh, but part
of the SSS code for faster performance. The main difference with actual
volume scattering is that we assume the boundaries are diffuse and that
all lighting is coming through this boundary from outside the volume.
This gives much more accurate results for thin features and low density.
Some challenges remain however:
* Significantly more noisy than BSSRDF. Adding Dwivedi sampling may help
here, but it's unclear still how much it helps in real world cases.
* Due to this being a volumetric method, geometry like eyes or mouth can
darken the skin on the outside. We may be able to reduce this effect,
or users can compensate for it by reducing the scattering radius in
such areas.
* Sharp corners are quite bright. This matches actual volume rendering
and results in some other renderers, but maybe not so much real world
objects.

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 adds midlevel and object/world space for displacement, and a
vector displacement node with tangent/object/world space, midlevel
and scale.
Note that tangent space vector displacement still is not exactly
compatible with maps created by other software, this will require
changes to the tangent computation.

At some point, we could probably think about removing IRIS file format
support, don't think there are much of those around anymore. But for
now, let's add a translation context to wipe effect. :)
Reported in T43295 by @blend-it, thanks.
The issue was introduced by eb016eb as a fix for T41258, which added depsgraph
tagging with zero flag. The comment was saying that it's to make derived caches
to be updated, however bot sure how that could possibly work: tagging ID for
update with 0 flag only sets updated tags in bmain in old dependency graph.
In the new depsgraph, where object data is a part of depsgraph, doing such a
tag forces object to be updated, which re-triggers viewport rendering, which
is causing such an infinite viewport render rest.
Can not reproduce any crashes here, so maybe it's fine to move on with this
change.
USER_ZBUF_ORBIT -> USER_DEPTH_NAVIGATE
The name didn't make sense since it's used for all view navigation.
Also rename USER_ZBUF_CURSOR -> USER_DEPTH_CURSOR since zbuf
is an internal detail.
Brushes themselves are still affected by the mask, but the viewport is not
showing the mask. This way it's easier to see details while sculpting.

For experimental options, outside the scope of typical preferences.
While templates are developed we might want to make changes
to behavior which aren't fully compatible with typical work-flows.
Instead of mixing these options in with current preferences
expose separately (we could even force disable them when templates
aren't int use)
This is quite common to have 64GB memory now, and even 128. There is no reason
to add any artificial caps on the cache and undo memory here. We can not protect
against using too much memory in one cases and allow use of full computer
potential in others.
Now 32 bit will use 2GB max (as it used to be), but 64bit will use whatever
number of megabytes fits into integer.

This reverts change to BKE_brush_add,
callers now remove the extra user.
Note this isn't very convenient for callers but
is consistent with other ID types.
In the future we will probably remove this and have new
ID's created with zero users.
When using a tablet, detecting absolute motion only worked
when activating a tool with the tablet.
Pressing Enter to run a tool for e.g. would use relative motion.
Now store is_motion_absolute in the event,
set for new events based on the most recent motion events.
This statistics is only collected when debug_value is different from 0.
Stored in depsgraph node itself, so we can always have access to average data
and other stats which requires persistent storage. This way we also don't waste
time trying to find stats from a separately stored hash map.
