The RenderResult struct still has a listbase of RenderLayer, but that's ok
since this is strictly for rendering.
* Subversion bump (to 2.80.2)
* DNA low level doversion (renames) - only for .blend created since 2.80 started
Note: We can't use DNA_struct_elem_find or get file version in init_structDNA,
so we are manually iterating over the array of the SDNA elements instead.
Note 2: This doversion change with renames can be reverted in a few months. But
so far it's required for 2.8 files created between October 2016 and now.

This patch moves all the functionality previously in SceneRenderLayer to SceneLayer.
If we want to rename some of these structs now would be a good time to do it, before they are in SceneLayer.
Everything should be working, though I will test things further tomorrow. Once this is committed depsgraph can get
rid of the workaround added in rna_Main_meshes_new_from_object and finish whatever this patch was preventing from being finished.
This patch also adds a few placeholders for the overrides (samples, ...). These are obviously not working, so some unittests that rely on 'lay', and 'zmask' will fail.
This patch does not addressed the change of moving samples to ViewRender (I have this as a separate patch and needs some separate discussion).
Following next is the individual note of the individual parts that were committed.
Note 1: It is up to Cycles to still get rid of exclude_layer internally.
Note 2: Cycles still need to handle its own doversion for the use_layer_samples cases and
(1) Remove the override as it is
(2) Add a new override (scene.cycles.samples) if scene.cycles.use_layer_samples != IGNORE
Respecting the expected behaviour when scene.cycles.use_layer_samples == BOUNDED.
Note 3: Cycles still need to implement the per-object holdout
(similar to how we do shadow catcher).
Note 4: There are parts of the old (Blender Internal) rendering pipeline that is still
using lay, e.g., in shi->lay.
Honestly it will be easier to purge the entire Blender Internal code away instead of taking things from it bit by bit.

Engine is not stored in WorkSpaces. That defines the "context" engine, which
is used for the entire UI.
The engine used for the poll of nodes (add node menu, new nodes when "Use Nodes")
is obtained from context.
Introduce a ViewRender struct for viewport settings that are defined for
workspaces and scene. This struct will be populated with the hand-picked
settings that can be defined per workspace as per the 2.8 design.
* use_scene_settings
* properties editor: workshop + organize context path
Use Scene Settings
==================
For viewport drawing, Workspaces have an option to use the Scene render
settings (F12) instead of the viewport settings.
This way users can quickly preview the final render settings, engine and
View Layer. This will affect all the editors in that workspace, and it will be
clearly indicated in the top-bar.
Properties Editor: Add Workspace and organize context path
==========================================================
We now have the properties of:
Scene, Scene > Layer, Scene > World, Workspace
[Scene | Workspace] > Render Layer > Object
[Scene | Workspace] > Render Layer > Object > Data

Although this wasn't so obvious since it
only showed up for factory settings and in the preferences window.
Panel display order depends on registration order,
Sorry for the noise. On the bright side we no longer need to move
classes around to re-arrange panels.
This patch introduces a couple new stroke modifiers. The ones currently implemented are based on prototypes by @kjym3 and myself.
The new modifiers:
- Tangent
- Thickness noise
- Crease Angle
- Simplification
- Curvature 3D
The documentation for these new modifier types can be found [[ http://www.blender.org/manual/render/freestyle/parameter_editor/index.html | in the manual ]]:

Features:
* Both still image and animation rendering, as well as polygon
fills are supported.
* The exporter creates a new SVG layer for every Freestyle line
set. The different layers are correctly sorted.
* SVG paths use data from line styles, so the base color of a
line style becomes the color of paths, idem for dashes and
stroke thickness.
* Strokes can be split at invisible parts. This functionality is
useful when exporting for instance dashed lines or line styles
with a Blue Print shader
* The exporter can be used not only in the Parameter Editor mode,
but also from within style modules written for the Python
Scripting mode.

New render layer option named "View map cache" is added to reuse a
previously computed view map for subsequent rendering. The cache is
automatically updated when the mesh geometry of the input 3D scene has
been changed.
This functionality offers a major performance boost for Freestyle
animation rendering when camera-space mesh geometry is static, as well
as for repeated still renders with updates of line stylization options.
Although the "View map cache" toggle is a render layer option, the cache
memory is shared by all render layers and scenes. This means that if
Freestyle is used for two or more render layers (possibly in different
scenes through the compositor), then the cached view map for one render
layer is replaced by a new view map for another render layer and hence
no performance gain is expected.
The following two sort keys are added for sorting chains.
* Projected X - Sort by the projected X value in the image coordinate system.
* Projected Y - Sort by the projected Y value in the image coordinate system.
A new line style option for the selection of first N chains is also added.
Moreover, the chain sorting and chain selection operations are now executed
in this order instead of the reverse order used previously. The UI has also
changed accordingly. This functional change is backward compatible and
won't result in visual differences.
The button was intended to guide new users of Freestyle, but actually that is a matter
of documentation. The button is unlikely to be frequently used once users get familiar
with Freestyle panels in other contexts. Now that Freestyle has been part of Blender
since a while, it seems time to clean the UI.
New properties 'line_color' and 'line_priority' are added to Material ID data blocks.
The 'line_color' property allows users to specify a per-material line color that can be
used as a Freestyle line color through Material color modifiers of line style settings.
The new line color property is intended to provide a solution for line color
stylization when a proper Freestyle support for Cycles is implemented (likely
as part of the upcoming Blender 2.72 release; see Patch D632). Materials in
Cycles are usually set up using shader nodes, and Freestyle won't be capable
of retrieving colors and other properties from node-based materials any soon.
The new line color property of materials addresses this foreseen limitation by
providing artists with an intuitive alternative mean to specify line colors on a
per-material basis independently from node trees.
The 'line_priority' property gives users a way to control line colors at material
boundaries. When a line is drawn along a feature edge at material boundaries,
one of the two materials on both sides of the edge has to be picked up to
determine the line color. So far there was no way to control this selection
(which was in effect at random). Now the material with a higher line color
priority will be selected.
The new per-material line settings are shown in the new Freestyle Line tab in
the Material context of the Properties window (only when Freestyle is enabled).
* The button icon for jumping to the Render Layers tab of the Properties context is
now RENDERLAYERS. Previous icon BUTS was too general.
* Thickness position options are grayed out if not applicable. These options are applied
only when plain chaining is used with the Same Object option enabled.
Toggle buttons are now placed to the left of those labels separating sets of line style
options, so as to save some space (in line with the new UI elements added in the
commit f60a66f417).
Line styles now have a set of new options for rearranging the stacking order of lines.
This gives artists more control to determine which lines should be drawn on top of others.
Two available sort keys are the distance from camera and curvilinear 2D length.
Since the distance of a line from camera may vary over vertices, another option called
integration type is used to compute the sort key for a line from the values computed at
individual vertices. Available integration types are MEAN, MIN, MAX, FIRST and LAST
(see the tool tips for more detail).
Notes:
* Did not touch to addons, that's up to the authors. ;)
* Did not removed any "name" field below lists. We might want to do this in some cases (less UI clutter), but probably not always, so will let maintainers of the related areas decide here.
Notes:
* Made those edits by full checking of py files, so I should have spoted most needed edits, yet it remains quite probable I missed a few ones, we'll fix if/when someone notice it...
* Also made some cleanup "on the road"!
the Parameter Editor mode. The Material Boundary toggle button takes
effect only in the Python Scripting mode. Instead the Parameter Editor
mode automatically determines which edge types need to be computed on the
basis of user-specified line selection criteria in terms of edge types.
Problem report from Light BWK through personal communications, thanks!
- update copying code for linestyles to copy gaps
- update copying code for freestyle line modifiers to copy mapping flags and seeds
- fix drawing code for Material modifiers after a recent refactoring
Added a label to guide users to line style settings in the Render Layers context
(in line with the similar labels found in the Cloth and Soft Body modifier panels),
so that Freestyle options per render layer can be more easily found.
* Do not share poll with other files, create own poll classes.
* Avoid some splits() and use rows instead (less code).
* Remove some commented C code.
* layout = self.layout declarations come before variable declarations.
Suggested by Brecht Van Lommel and Campbell Barton through code review comments.
Previously style modules were external Python script files whose absolute paths
were kept in .blend files. Now style modules are stored in .blend files as text
datablocks.
Style modules are configured in three steps:
1. Open an external style module file (or create a new text datablock) in the
Text Editor in Blender.
2. Add a style module to the list of style modules (by pressing the "Add" button)
in the Render Layer properties window.
3. Click the name entry and select the style module from the drop-down menu.
