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 fixes an issue where old cache data was used after an object has been moved.
Particles were coming from very wrong positions. Reproduction case is to move an
object while animation is running and then let the animation loop back and
play again.

Was happening when viewport visibility on the particle system is disabled.
This became an issue after c45afcf, but the actual issue goes a bit deeper
and the following aspects were involved:
- Relations builder for particle system was ignoring particle system if
it's visibility is not enabled for viewport. This is something what
shouldn't have been done -- depsgraph relations are supposed to be the
same no matter if it's viewport or render.
- Relation builder was only dealing with duplication set to object, but
was ignoring group duplication.
This is technically a regression in 2.79a-RC as well, so would need to
backport this fix to the branch after extra testing is done here in the
studio.
It is still based on generic collection evaluation, but the idea is to avoid
having view_layer pointer passed from group to it's evaluation function.
This is essential for copy-on-write, where we need to pass view_layer pointer
from a copied datablock, but that copy is not yet available at construction
time. Also, this is NOT the case where we want to expand datablock at a
construction time, just to keep our life easier.
Since we are ditching layers from Blender (2.8) we need a replacement to
control groups visibility. This commit introduces collections as the building
blocks for groups, allowing users to control visibility as well as overrides
for groups.
Features
========
* Groups now have collections
This way you can change the visibility of a collection inside a group, and add
overrides which are part of the group and are prioritized over other overrides.
* Outliner
Groups can inspect their collections, change visibility, and add/remove members.
To change an override of a group collection, you need to select an instance of
the group, and then you can choose "group" in the collection properties editor
to edit this group active collection instead of the view layer one.
* Dupli groups overrides
We can now have multiple instances of the same group with an original "override"
and different overrides depending on the collection the instanced object is part
of.
Technical
=========
* Layers
We use the same api for groups and scene as much as possible.

It is possible to have situation when we need to both update relations and do
some updates on random IDs. This was only done before for objects using their
recalc field. This means, every update tag which did not fit into there would
have been lost after updating relations.
Now we do some smarter re-scheduling of operations after relations are updated.
Previously it was done during depsgraph iteration, which is not good at all,
since after evaluation nobody should really modify how object was evaluated.
This is crucial bit since batch cache is stored in the evaluated object,
meaning we can't tag it's hatch cache dirty from the notifier system.
Not easily at least. Better to leave this job to depsgraph, it knows
all the copies of data.
The only remaining part is the particle stuff, which needs a pointer to exact
particle system which does not exist yet. Leaving it for later a bit for until
it's more clear what do we do with particles.
Unless i'm mistaken, we've got all proper CoW pointers bound now.
Although this works by itself, it should actually happen after:
"Reshuffle collections base flags evaluation, make it so object is gathering
its base flags from collections."
Meanwhile we have one single hacky function (deg_flush_base_flags_and_settings)
to be removed once the task above is tackled.
