This introduces two alternative subdivision modes that generates
displacement on the grids that look as Simple subdivisions but while
using the Catmull-Clark subdivision type in the modifier. This way,
Simple and Catmull-Clark subdivision can be combined when creating new
levels if needed, for example, to sculpt hard surface objects.
Subdivide simple smooths the sculpted data when creating a new
subdivision level. Subdivide linear also preserves the sharpness
in the sculpted data.

This implements the main unsubdivide algorithm which rebuilds a base mesh and extracts the grid's data from a high resolution mesh.
It includes the Rebuild Subdivisions operator, which generates all subdivision levels down to the level 0 base mesh.
It supports:
- Rebuilding an arbitrary number of levels (Unsubdivide) or as many levels as possible down to level 0 in a single step (Rebuild Subdivisions).
- Rebuilding with already existing grids.
- Meshes with n-gons and triangles
- Meshes with more than 2 faces per edge
- Base mesh made completely out of triangles
- Meshes without poles
- Meshes with multiple disconnected elements at the same subdivision level

Show control edges stores the control edges in the mesh which is
picked up by the draw manager. When applyng a subsurf (or multires) we
don't want that data present in the base mesh. Any rebuilding of the mesh
would overwrite the data anyway.
This patch introduces a new flag for applying modifiers
that can be checked to ignore storing display specific data in
the base mesh.

The initial code from earlier from today didn't really work reliable
since it is not possible to apply virtual modifiers but not the real
multires one (in a situation like mesh with shapekeys and multires).
New code uses less memory and has better performance for the case
when there are actual modifiers leading the multires. The case when
there is only multires will not be as performant as possible at this
moment.
Use full argument name.
Also order arguments in the generosity order: from depsgraph
(which has everything) to object (which contains multires)
specific multires modifier.
Was happening when object does not have CD_MDISPS allocated yet.
Need to make sure totdisp and level is specified on CD_MDISPS data
prior to loading (as the load expects them to be properly set).
This change fixes artifacts produced by these operations.
On a technical aspect this is done by porting all of the operations
to the new subdivision surface implementation which ensures that
tangent space used to evaluate modifier and those operations is
exactly the same (before modifier will use new code and the operations
will still use an old one).
The next step is to get sculpting on a non-top level to work, and
that actually requires fixes in the undo system.
Make a distinction between flush sculpt changes for rendering, and forcing
sculpt data structures to be rebuilt after mesh changes. Also don't use PBVH
for renders.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.

The idea is to run reshaping for every boundary vertex
of a grid rather than trying to copy boundary grid
elements.
While this is somewhat slower, this avoids all this
tangent flipping magic, which tempts to be rather tricky
and fragile.
First of all, follow our naming convention to use module prefix.
Second of all, mesh is being created and is to be freed, we also
have convention for such function names.
Added propagation of displacement to a higher levels.
Has the same limitation as reshape from object, which makes
grids somewhat choppy due to linear interpolation nature.
This is to be addressed next.
Allows to go to sculpt mode, do brush strokes, get out of sculpt mode
and have deformation preserved.
The issues currently is that the current implementation of CCG
storage is created from the limit surface, without displacement
taken into account. It is trivial to get displaced coordinates,
but it is more tricky to get displaced normals. This is something
to be solved next.
Another limitation is that this only works for sculpting at a maximal
multires level. There is code to be done to support propagation
of displacement onto a higher levels.
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.

- Read-only access can often use EvaluationContext.object_mode
- Write access to go to WorkSpace.object_mode.
- Some TODO's remain (marked as "TODO/OBMODE")
- Add-ons will need updating
(context.active_object.mode -> context.workspace.object_mode)
- There will be small/medium issues that still need resolving
this does work on a basic level though.

2.8x branch added bContext arg in many places,
pass eval-context instead since its not simple to reason about what
what nested functions do when they can access and change almost anything.
Also use const to prevent unexpected modifications.
This fixes crash loading files with shadows,
since off-screen buffers use a NULL context for rendering.
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.
Notes:
* Code in rendering and in game engine will still convert
tangents to a tessface representation. Added code that
takes care of tangent layer only, might be removed
when BGE and rendering goes full mlooptri mode.
* Baking should work discovered some dead code while
I was working on the patch, also tangents are broken
when baking from multires (also in master), but those
are separate issues that can be fixed later.
This should fix T45491 as well
