2 sided faces aren't supported and will cause problems in many areas
of Blender's code.
Removing (implied) support for faces with fewer than 3 sides
means the total number of triangles is known ahead of time.
This simplifies adding support for multi-threading and partial updates
to an existing tessellation - as the face and loop indices can be used
to access the range of triangles associated with a face.
Also correct outdated comments.
Functions `mesh_create_eval_final_view()` and
`mesh_create_eval_final_render()` were doing the exact same thing,
except for a hack introduced in d3eb9dddd6 (2012-10-08, Better fix for
T32846: dupligroup messes up particle instancing on rendering) that
appears to be no longer necessary. Besides that, these functions had
confusing names. Their functionality changed over time, and whether to
do for-render or for-viewport evaluation is now actually determined by
the depsgraph evaluation mode. This means that the `..._render` function
could evaluate a mesh with viewport settings, and vice versa.
The functions are now merged into `mesh_create_eval_final()`, and the
hack has been removed. The `OB_NO_PSYS_UPDATE` flag has been removed
entirely (instead of keeping it around as deprecated flag), because it
was always only temporarily set on objects during mesh evaluation and
thus not saved to the blend file.
No expected functional changes as far as users are concerned.
The problem is caused by a lack of prediction in the `isect_line_segment_tri_v3`
that incorrectly confirms some intersections of coplanar segments to the triangle.
The solution is to use another algorithm to detect intersections.
This also resulted in a slight improvement in the performance:
- 1min 17sec to 1min 6sec in my test file

While it might be handy to have type-less functionality which is
similar to how C++ math is implemented it can not be easily achieved
with just preprocessor in a way which does not have side-effects on
wrong usage.
There macros where often used on a non-trivial expression, and there
was at least one usage where it was causing an actual side effect/bug
on Windows (see change around square_f(sh[index++]) in studiolight.c).
For such cases it is handy to have a function which is guaranteed to
have zero side-effects. The motivation behind actually removing the
macros is that there is already a way to do similar calculation. Also,
not having such macros is a way to guarantee that its usage is not
changed in a way which have side-effects and that it's not used as an
inspiration for cases where it should not be used.

We already have different storages for cddata of verts, edges etc.,
'simply' do the same for the mask flags we use all around Blender code
to request some data, or limit some operation to some layers, etc.
Reason we need this is that some cddata types (like Normals) are
actually shared between verts/polys/loops, and we don’t want to generate
clnors everytime we request vnors!
As a side note, this also does final fix to T59338, which was the
trigger for this patch (need to request computed loop normals for
another mesh than evaluated one).

BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
Would free evaluated mesh even when it was the one cached in runtime
data by depsgraph evaluation!
Also fixes the asserts about using non-eval object in some cases.
Passing depsgraph instead of scene, since a scene does not fully define the
state of object you want to use for the BVH.
Also, mesh_create_eval_final_view and mesh_create_eval_final_render are pretty
much the same, so mesh_create_eval_no_deform and
mesh_create_eval_no_deform_render are as well.

The depsgraph was always created within a fixed evaluation context. Passing
both risks the depsgraph and evaluation context not matching, and it
complicates the Python API where we'd have to expose both which is not so
easy to understand.
This also removes the global evaluation context in main, which assumed there
to be a single active scene and view layer.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D3152
Those functions did not use evaluation context.
Also fixed lots of unused variables warnings caused by commented out code which
needs to be ported away from DerivedMesh and to evaluation context.
Note that some little parts of code have been dissabled because eval_ctx
was not available there. This should be resolved once DerivedMesh is
replaced.
