This separate probe rendering from viewport rendering, making possible to
run the baking in another thread (non blocking and faster).
The baked lighting is saved in the blend file. Nothing needs to be
recomputed on load.
There is a few missing bits / bugs:
- Cache cannot be saved to disk as a separate file, it is saved in the DNA
for now making file larger and memory usage higher.
- Auto update only cubemaps does update the grids (bug).
- Probes cannot be updated individually (considered as dynamic).
- Light Cache cannot be (re)generated during render.
Brecht authored this commit, but he gave me the honours to actually
do it. Here it goes; Blender Internal. Bye bye, you did great!
* Point density, voxel data, ocean, environment map textures were removed,
as these only worked within BI rendering. Note that the ocean modifier
and the Cycles point density shader node continue to work.
* Dynamic paint using material shading was removed, as this only worked
with BI. If we ever wanted to support this again probably it should go
through the baking API.
* GPU shader export through the Python API was removed. This only worked
for the old BI GLSL shaders, which no longer exists. Doing something
similar for Eevee would be significantly more complicated because it
uses a lot of multiplass rendering and logic outside the shader, it's
probably impractical.
* Collada material import / export code is mostly gone, as it only worked
for BI materials. We need to add Cycles / Eevee material support at some
point.
* The mesh noise operator was removed since it only worked with BI
material texture slots. A displacement modifier can be used instead.
* The delete texture paint slot operator was removed since it only worked
for BI material texture slots. Could be added back with node support.
* Not all legacy viewport features are supported in the new viewport, but
their code was removed. If we need to bring anything back we can look at
older git revisions.
* There is some legacy viewport code that I could not remove yet, and some
that I probably missed.
* Shader node execution code was left mostly intact, even though it is not
used anywhere now. We may eventually use this to replace the texture
nodes with Cycles / Eevee shader nodes.
* The Cycles Bake panel now includes settings for baking multires normal
and displacement maps. The underlying code needs to be merged properly,
and we plan to add back support for multires AO baking and add support
to Cycles baking for features like vertex color, displacement, and other
missing baking features.
* This commit removes DNA and the Python API for BI material, lamp, world
and scene settings. This breaks a lot of addons.
* There is more DNA that can be removed or renamed, where Cycles or Eevee
are reusing some old BI properties but the names are not really correct
anymore.
* Texture slots for materials, lamps and world were removed. They remain
for brushes, particles and freestyle linestyles.
* 'BLENDER_RENDER' remains in the COMPAT_ENGINES of UI panels. Cycles and
other renderers use this to find all panels to show, minus a few panels
that they have their own replacement for.
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.

Shutter curve now can be controlled using curve mapping widget in the motion
blur panel in Render buttons. Only mapping from 0..1 by x axis are allowed,
Y values will be normalized to fill in 0..1 space as well automatically.
Y values of 0 means fully closed shutter, Y values of 1 means fully opened
shutter.
Default mapping is set to old behavior when shutter opens and closes instantly.
This shutter mapping curve could easily be used by any other render engine by
accessing scene.render.motion_blur_shutter_curve.

Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

This means that if you have WITH_BF_QUICKTIME or WITH_CODEC_QUICKTIME enabled,
it will always use QTKit.
The old backend was only used on 32 bit OS X builds, now 32 and 64 bit builds will
give consistent input/output. On Windows or Linux quicktime isn't being used.

of copy/paste functionality. Instead of making a copy of the active
line set, now the settings of the active line set are copied to and
pasted from a buffer. This allows for copying and pasting line set
settings among different scenes and render layers.
Added a set of stroke geometry modifiers to the Geometry tab of line styles
in the Parameter Editor mode. Now the following stroke geometry modifiers are
available, each with a set of animateable parameters:
- Sampling: changes the resolution of stroke backbone polylines.
- Bezier Curve: replace stroke backbone with a Bezier approximation of the
stroke backbone.
- Sinus Displacement: add sinus displacement to stroke backbone.
- Spatial Noise: add spatial noise to stroke backbone.
- Perlin Noise 1D: add one-dimensional Perlin noise to stroke backbone.
- Perlin Noise 2D: add two-dimensional Perlin noise to stroke backbone.
- Backbone Stretcher: stretch the beginning and the end of strokes.
- Tip Remover: remove a piece of stroke at the beginning and the end of strokes.
To branch users: When you have a .blend file with Freestyle options specified,
you may want to add a Sampling modifier with the 'sampling' value set to 5.
This value specifies a resolution of polylines for line drawing in Freestyle.
If no sampling modifier is specified, your line drawing will result in coarse
polylines. Before geometry modifiers were introduced, this initial sampling
was automatically done. Now the initial sampling is a tunable parameter that
can be omitted, allowing better control on polyline resolution.
A number of UI elements were newly introduced to control line color, alpha
transparency and line thickness by means of base color/alpha/thickness plus
modifiers that alter the base values. To begin with, three basic modifiers
were prototyped with the aim of putting the new UI framework in practice
and evaluating if it works properly.
The Parameter Editor mode is still in a work-in-progress state and totally
useless from users' viewpoint.
This commit is just meant to give the new GUI framework a concrete shape.
There is no usefulness in newly introduced elements at the moment.
Freestyle options in render layers now include a pull-down menu named Control
Mode that allows you to choose either the Python Scripting or Parameter Editor
mode. The Python Scripting mode is the conventional way of controlling
Freestyle by directly using style modules written in Python. The Parameter
Editor is a new control mode that is intended to be used by everyone without
relying on Python programming.
In the Parameter Editor mode, you can specify multiple line sets for each
render layer. A line set defines feature edge selection criteria, as
well as a line style for drawing the selected feature edges using specific
line stylization parameters. Line style is a new datablock type, meaning
that a line style can be shared by multiple line sets (possibly those in
different render layers in different scenes).
Much more additions are anticipated in subsequent commits to implement UI
controls for specifying feature edge selection criteria and line stylization
parameters.
Only source/blender/editors/ dir, should not give errors on different platforms
Only removing: UI_*.h, ED_*.h, WM_*.h, DNA_*.h, IMB_*.h, RNA_*.h, PIL_*.h
* Fixed up RNA and UI
* Brought back 'Save' and 'Clear' operators (in the little triangle menu in
environment map properties)
* While I was at it, noticed that environment maps were only using 8bit
colour, changed it to use full 32bit float instead for proper HDR colour etc,
so environment map reflections have the correct colour range

After the merge operation, running the diff command showed that the

them and make the branch up-to-date, I just copied the following files
