It's more convenient to keep version patching in the same place,
this also splits out some function calls from version patching
and supports updating UserDef structs besides the 'U'l global.
This commit merge the full development done in greasepencil-object branch and include mainly the following features.
- New grease pencil object.
- New drawing engine.
- New grease pencil modes Draw/Sculpt/Edit and Weight Paint.
- New brushes for grease pencil.
- New modifiers for grease pencil.
- New shaders FX.
- New material system (replace old palettes and colors).
- Split of annotations (old grease pencil) and new grease pencil object.
- UI adapted to blender 2.8.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
This reverts commit 81a93df6d2, it is not safe
to handle initialization for startup.blend differently. Instead fix the root
issue of the preview icon data structures not being initialized in time.
There are now 3 categories in the overlay popover:
- Navigation
- Active (camera, lamp... etc)
- Tool (manipulator)
The user preference for mini axis now controls if the mini axis
displays minimal or a full-interactive widget.
Part of design: T55863
A toggle for this is no longer required now that both header and background
colors are RGBA (disabling Show Header is the same setting the alpha to 0).
Thanks Brecht for reviewing!
This translates the gl calls to the new GPU_ wrappers from D3501.
Given it's tedious and repetitive work, this patch does as much as it can with search + replace, the remainder of the gl calls will need to be manually dealt with on a case by case basis.
This fixes 13 of the 28 failing editors when building without opengl.
For the list of substitutions see D3502

The theme is now stored in generated C code,
which can be extracted from existing user preferences.
This theme can then be used for version patching themes
instead of duplicating values
Note that theme versioning has been removed,
since minor changes from now on won't apply well on top of 2.7x theme.
Theme colors from interface_widgets.c have been removed too.
Currently only attached to the Anti Aliasing of the solid mode of the
viewport. But eventually we could add other options here. Quality
setting can be found in the System tab of the userpref.
The slider goes from No Antialiasing (0.0 - 0.1) to FXAA (0.1 - 0.25) to
TAA8 (0.25 - 0.6) to TAA16 (0.6 - 0.8) to TAA32 (0.8 - 1.0)
By default users want AA in the viewport. For slower systems you want to
be able to turn it off. As in the future we would also like to support
TAA in the viewport we introduced it as a Max Viewport AA settings.
Also removed the drawoption to enable/disable AA per viewport
When rendering the AA is always turned on.
In the Python API, any panel becomes a subpanel by setting bl_parent_id
to the name of the parent panel. These subpanels can contain advanced or
less commonly used settings.
Since the viewport header now supports transparency, text on pulldowns
can be hard to read if their color matches the viewport content.
Background is drawn using the 'inner' theme color, that was unused until now.
This feature is limited (only byte PPM output, no multi-view),
only works with specific configurations.
This also causes some maintenance overhead
when testing changes to the render pipeline.
This is for the 3D viewport and image editor. A remaining issue is
that pulldown menu buttons only show text, which is not visible on
all background colors, so making the header entirely transparent
does not work well at the moment.
For Blender 2.8 we had to be compatible with very old OpenGL versions, and
triple buffer was designed to work without offscreen rendering, by copying
the the backbuffer to a texture right before swapping. This way we could
avoid redrawing unchanged regions by copying them from this texture on the
next redraws. Triple buffer used to suffer from poor performance and driver
bugs on specific cards, so alternative draw methods remained available.
Now that we require newer OpenGL, we can have just a single draw method
that draw each region into an offscreen buffer, and then draws those to
the screen. This has some advantages:
* Poor 3D view performance when using Region Overlap should be solved now,
since we can also cache overlapping regions in offscreen buffers.
* Page flip, anaglyph and interlace stereo drawing can be a little faster
by avoiding a copy to an intermediate texture.
* The new 3D view drawing already writes to an offscreen buffer, which we
can draw from directly instead of duplicating it to another buffer.
* Eventually we will be able to remove depth and stencil buffers from the
window and save memory, though at the moment there are still some tools
using it so it's not possible yet.
* This also fixes a bug with Eevee sampling not progressing with stereo
drawing in the 3D viewport.

This isn't working well when zoomed out in the properties editor,
we should be taking into account properties editor zoom level.
This reverts commit 1ba91ae2c0.
Some widgets would have rounding relative to the button size, others
absolute. Now it's always absolute. Note changing Display Scale in the
user prefs is not zooming, the rounding still scales with that.
