This removes G_FILE_HISTORY, G_FILE_SAVE_COPY & G_FILE_USERPREFS.
Using file-flags made logic harder to follow since it's not so clear
which flags are expected to be in G.fileflags & which are meant to be
set and passed as arguments, these are shared between read & write
functions too.
Add BlendFileWriteParams so options which don't need to be stored
aren't mixed up with flags that are stored for reuse.
When "Relative Remap" option was added, the intention was only to remap
paths that were already relative. However it remapped all paths.
This was reported as T62612 and fixed recently,
however some Python script authors depended on the old behavior.
For users, it's reasonable to use the existing operators to make paths
absolute/relative. For scripts however it's useful to be able to write
out individual data-blocks with the ability to make all paths relative.
Now `bpy.data.libraries.write()` takes a path_remap argument which can
be `NONE/RELATIVE/RELATIVE_ALL/ABSOLUTE` allowing the script author to
choose how paths are handled when writing out data-blocks.

This patch enables TBB as the default task scheduler. TBB stands for Threading Building Blocks and is developed by Intel. The library contains several threading patters. This patch maps blenders BLI_task_* function to their counterpart. After this patch we can add more patterns. A promising one is TBB:graph that can be used for depsgraph, draw manager and compositor.
Performance changes depends on the actual hardware. It was tested on different hardwares from laptops to workstations and we didn't detected any downgrade of the performance.

There is no need to have another font embedded in the Blender executable, we
can assume the bundled font exists. In the future we may provide a fallback
if the font specified by the user in the preferences is missing a character,

NOTE: While most of the milestone 1 goals are there, a few smaller features and
improvements are still to be done.
Big picture of this milestone: Initial, OpenXR-based virtual reality support
for users and foundation for advanced use cases.
Maniphest Task: https://developer.blender.org/T71347
The tasks contains more information about this milestone.
To be clear: This is not a feature rich VR implementation, it's focused on the
initial scene inspection use case. We intentionally focused on that, further
features like controller support are part of the next milestone.
- How to use?
Instructions on how to use this are here:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Severin/GSoC-2019/How_to_Test
These will be updated and moved to a more official place (likely the manual) soon.
Currently Windows Mixed Reality and Oculus devices are usable. Valve/HTC
headsets don't support the OpenXR standard yet and hence, do not work with this
implementation.
---------------
This is the C-side implementation of the features added for initial VR
support as per milestone 1. A "VR Scene Inspection" Add-on will be
committed separately, to expose the VR functionality in the UI. It also
adds some further features for milestone 1, namely a landmarking system
(stored view locations in the VR space)
Main additions/features:
* Support for rendering viewports to an HMD, with good performance.
* Option to sync the VR view perspective with a fully interactive,
regular 3D View (VR-Mirror).
* Option to disable positional tracking. Keeps the current position (calculated
based on the VR eye center pose) when enabled while a VR session is running.
* Some regular viewport settings for the VR view
* RNA/Python-API to query and set VR session state information.
* WM-XR: Layer tying Ghost-XR to the Blender specific APIs/data
* wmSurface API: drawable, non-window container (manages Ghost-OpenGL and GPU
context)
* DNA/RNA for management of VR session settings
* `--debug-xr` and `--debug-xr-time` commandline options
* Utility batch & config file for using the Oculus runtime on Windows.
* Most VR data is runtime only. The exception is user settings which are saved
to files (`XrSessionSettings`).
* VR support can be disabled through the `WITH_XR_OPENXR` compiler flag.

Adds a check when starting blender if your platform is supported. We use a blacklist
as drivers are updated more regular then blender (stable releases).
The mechanism detects if the support level changed or has been validated by the user previously.
Changes can happen due to users updating their drivers, but also when we change the support
level in our code base.
When the user has seen the limited support level message it is saved in the user config.
It would be better to have a system specific config section, but currently not clear
what could benefit from that.
When the platform is unsupported or has limited support a dialog box will appear including a link
to our user manual describing what to do.
**Windows**
Windows uses the MessageBox that is provided by the windows kernel.
**X11**
We use a very lowlevel messagebox for X11. It is very limited in use and can be fine tuned when needed.
**SDL/APPLE**
There is no implementation for SDL or APPLE at this moment as the platform support feature targets mostly Windows users.

This change implements the basics as described in {T68312} for the
shading modes.
* LookDev shading mode is renamed to Material Preview. It always uses Eevee as renderer, and is intended to provide a fast material preview suitable for texture painting, and texture and material setup.
* Rendered shading gains "Use Scene Lights" and "Use Scene World" options similar to current Material Preview. These will be enabled by default. When Use Scene World is turned off, HDRIs will be used for lighting instead. These options are available for EEVEE and Cycles.
* Renderers will be able to customize the shading settings panel and add additional settings.

This change makes it so sound handles are created for evaluated scene,
sequencer and speakers. This allows to have properly evaluated animation
on them.
For the viewport playback sound uses regular dependency graph.
For the final render sound uses dependency graph created for render pipeline,
which now also contains sequencer and sound datablocks.
All the direct sound update calls are replaced with corresponding dependency
graph recalc tag.
This happened to be a bigger rabbit hole to hell than it originally seemed,
and there are higher priority design tasks to be handled (at this point high
priority design task is more important than high priority bug fix).
After talking to Brecht the decision was made to revert to the known isolated
issue, which will allow everyone in the studio work same as prior to last
Friday.
The remaining bits will be worked on after all the design tasks are out of
the way.

17447ac5a6 Depsgraph: Make sound ID part of the graph
Quite straightforward change, which makes it so audio handles are
only created inside of evaluated datablocks.
Exception is adding sound strip to the sequencer, which needs an
audio handle to query length and number of channels. This is done
by temporarily loading sound file into an original datablock, and
then tossing it away.
There is an assert in sound.c which verifies that audio system is
used from an evaluated domain, which should help porting all the
cases which are likely missed by this commit.
Some annoying parts:
- `BKE_sound_update_scene()` is iterating over all bases, and does
special ID tags to see whether sound has been handled or not
already. This can not be done the old fashion now.
Ideally, this will be done as a speaker datablock evaluation,
but seems that would require a lock since audio API is not safe
for threading. So this is not a desired way i'd say.
Possible solution here would be to iterate over ID datablocks
using dependency graph query API.
- Frame jump needs to call `BKE_sound_seek_scene()` directly
because there might be some flags assigned to the scene which
could be clear after operator execution is over.
Need to verify if that's the case though. This is a bit hairy
code, so sticking to a safest and known to work approach for
now.
- Removed check for format when opening new sound file.
Maybe we can have some utility function which queries channel
and duration information, leaving the caller's code clean and
tidy.
Tested following cases:
- Adding/removing/moving sequencer's sound strips.
- Adding/moving speakers in viewport.
- Rendering audio.
