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.

User Commit Log
---------------
* New Layer and Collection system to replace render layers and viewport layers.
* A layer is a set of collections of objects (and their drawing options) required for specific tasks.
* A collection is a set of objects, equivalent of the old layers in Blender. A collection can be shared across multiple layers.
* All Scenes have a master collection that all other collections are children of.
* New collection "context" tab (in Properties Editor)
* New temporary viewport "collections" panel to control per-collection
visibility
Missing User Features
---------------------
* Collection "Filter"
Option to add objects based on their names
* Collection Manager operators
The existing buttons are placeholders
* Collection Manager drawing
The editor main region is empty
* Collection Override
* Per-Collection engine settings
This will come as a separate commit, as part of the clay-engine branch
Dev Commit Log
--------------
* New DNA file (DNA_layer_types.h) with the new structs
We are replacing Base by a new extended Base while keeping it backward
compatible with some legacy settings (i.e., lay, flag_legacy).
Renamed all Base to BaseLegacy to make it clear the areas of code that
still need to be converted
Note: manual changes were required on - deg_builder_nodes.h, rna_object.c, KX_Light.cpp
* Unittesting for main syncronization requirements
- read, write, add/copy/remove objects, copy scene, collection
link/unlinking, context)
* New Editor: Collection Manager
Based on patch by Julian Eisel
This is extracted from the layer-manager branch. With the following changes:
- Renamed references of layer manager to collections manager
- I doesn't include the editors/space_collections/ draw and util files
- The drawing code itself will be implemented separately by Julian
* Base / Object:
A little note about them. Original Blender code would try to keep them
in sync through the code, juggling flags back and forth. This will now
be handled by Depsgraph, keeping Object and Bases more separated
throughout the non-rendering code.
Scene.base is being cleared in doversion, and the old viewport drawing
code was poorly converted to use the new bases while the new viewport
code doesn't get merged and replace the old one.

This reverts commit 5aa19be912 and b4a721af69.
Due to postponement of particle system rewrite it was decided to put particle code
back into the 2.8 branch for the time being.
In response to user feedback, this commit brings back the ability to
limit motionpath clearing to only happening for those on selected
objects/bones.
By default, the "Clear" operator will clear from all objects/bones,
unless the Shift key is held.
Adds default-generated UVs to mesh primitives (cone, cylinder, icosphere, uvsphere, cube, circle, grid)
when they are added to the scene, since some of them can be pretty awkward to unwrap manually.

General idea is to avoid actual calculation from property update()
callback and tag things for update later instead.
That said, pose constraint flags are now tagged for update and
handled as a part of object update. In the new depsgraph it'll
be a nice dedicated operation node.
Also avoid updating disabled flags for all the modifiers. This
part of the path is not totally optimal since it'll still need
to iterate over bones in order to get pchan, but to optimize it
further would be nice to find a way to avoid pchan requirement
all together.

Summary:
Before this adding Surface type of force field and removing
this field would leave Surface modifier alive in the stack.
This might be really misleading and annoying.
Now removing force field will ensure no modifiers needed for
it are remained in the stack.
This also fixes missing notifier to redraw modifier stack
when changing force field type.

"transform matrix" of the hook was not inited (reset) when assinging and object to it, now use same code for both OBJECT_OT_hook_reset operator and RNA object assignement.
Reviewed by Brecht, thanks.
previously this had to be done one by one.
both single and triagle vertex parents can be made, selected based on distance to the verts.
Developer notes:
- looks like this was old TODO, enums existed but weren't used.
- only meshes currently support using.
- added BKE_object_as_kdtree(), may come in handy for similar cases.
this was only done in some cases before and it was possible to enable weightpaint+sculpt at the same time when enabling sculpt by directly running the mode switching operator.
add generic function to ensure a compatible mode before entering the new mode (added to each operators exec function)
Forward enum declaration is a bad idea, especially for C++ which requires
enum specification to dteermine which data type to use to store it.
Alternative would be to not use enum as an arument and pass it as int,
but actually would rather be strict on typing -- using explicit enum
as parameter type helps understanding the code and prevents possible
mistakes when using the function.
Now copying a scene will also duplicate groups that consist entirely of objects
that are duplicated with the scene. The rigid body world will then also pointers
to these new groups.
Tweak for new option for Relative Bone parenting
(which transforms child object based on rest pose, so you can change bones
in editmode to define pivot)
In the original commit it was made default, but that was too invisble for
users. Now it's an option in the Make Parent menu to choose. Communicates
a new feature better.
- update face normals when triangulating.
- avoid divide by zero when interpolating customdata on a zero length edge.
- replace zero float comparisons with fabsf() < FLT_EPSILON to avoid numeric error.
also renamed BLI_heap_empty() --> BLI_heap_is_empty() so its obviously readonly function.
Made it so meshes, curves, surfaces and metaballs are scaling to a grid cell size,
which makes them behave consistently now.
There're still issues to be resolved still:
- Lattice is not scaled to grid cell size yet, it uses slightly different add
function which makes scaling a bit tricky and hacky. Would prefer to do a
bit bigger refactor here, so it's a TODO for now.
- Cameras, speakers and other helpers are not scaling. They don't have data
on which scale could be applied and perhaps it should be some kind of draw
scale. Also would consider it's a TODO for now.
- move object_iterators.c --> view3d_iterators. (ED_object.h had to include ED_view3d.h which isn't so nice)
- move projection functions from view3d_view.c --> view3d_project.c (view3d_view was becoming a mishmash of utility functions and operators).
- some some cmake includes as system-includes.
