Now using modern features from libquery/libremap areas.
Provides same kind of fixes/improvements as for BKE_object_make_local() (see rBd1a4ae3f395a6).
Note: this enlightened broken case of proxy objects regarding make_local
(and also whole remapping, in fact). Will be fixed in near future.
This commit changes a lot of how IDs are handled internally, especially the unlinking/freeing
processes. So far, this was very fuzy, to summarize cleanly deleting or replacing a datablock
was pretty much impossible, except for a few special cases.
Also, unlinking was handled by each datatype, in a rather messy and prone-to-errors way (quite
a few ID usages were missed or wrongly handled that way).
One of the main goal of id-remap branch was to cleanup this, and fatorize ID links handling
by using library_query utils to allow generic handling of those, which is now the case
(now, generic ID links handling is only "knwon" from readfile.c and library_query.c).
This commit also adds backends to allow live replacement and deletion of datablocks in Blender
(so-called 'remapping' process, where we replace all usages of a given ID pointer by a new one,
or NULL one in case of unlinking).
This will allow nice new features, like ability to easily reload or relocate libraries, real immediate
deletion of datablocks in blender, replacement of one datablock by another, etc.
Some of those are for next commits.
A word of warning: this commit is highly risky, because it affects potentially a lot in Blender core.
Though it was tested rather deeply, being totally impossible to check all possible ID usage cases,
it's likely there are some remaining issues and bugs in new code... Please report them! ;)

Newly computed custom normals were forgotten during poly flipping, leading
to wrong custom normals being assigned to wrong loop...
Dead simple, but was tough to track down this one!
Now CD_SHAPEKEY_INDEX customdata is stored in edit-mode when hooks and vertex parents are used.
This also fixes a bug where undo would loose key-index data.
Move to structs for BM_mesh_bm_to/from_me to avoid passing many argument, which mostly aren't used.
Normal Map node support for GLSL mode and the internal render (multiple tangents support).
The Normal Map node is a useful node which is present in the Cycles render.
It makes it possible to use normal mapping without additional material node in a node tree.
This patch implements Normal Map node for GLSL mode and the internal render.
Previously only the active UV layer was used to calculate tangents.
Those new functions invert the winding of polygons, effectively inverting their normals.
A helper was also added to allow swapping two items in customdata layers.
Being able to invert normals outside of BMesh area is very important in several places,
like IO scripts or customnormals modifiers...

Idea is, instead of ignoring completely missing linked datablocks, to
create void placeholders for them.
That way, you can work on your file, save it, and find again your missing data once
lib becomes available again. Or you can edit missing lib's path (in Outliner),
save and reload the file, and you are done.
Also, Outliner now shows broken libraries (and placeholders) with a 'broken lib' icon.
Future plans are also to be able to relocate missing libs and reload them at runtime.
Code notes:
- Placeholder ID is just a regular datablock of same type as expected linked one,
with 'default' data, and a LIB_MISSING bitflag set.
- To allow creation of such datablocks, creation of datablocks in BKE was split in two step:
+ Allocation of memory itself.
+ Setting of all internal data to default values.
See also the design task (T43351).

Title says pretty much everything, we now have BKE and RNA funcs to get vertex, poly and
loop normals of a given shapekey.
This will be used e.g. in FBX exporter (shapekeys need normal data too).

This was simply broken for vertex case (indexing loop normals with vert indices...).
Turns out to be rather verbose to replace on-the-fly zero normals by default ones correctly,
and do not want to make a full copy of the given custom normals array, so now this one is
editied in place (replacing zero vectors by correct default normals). Don't think this
could be a serious issue anyway.
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
This stores loop indices into the loop array giving easier acess
to data such as vertex-colors and UV's,
removing the need to store an MFace duplicate of custom-data.
This doesn't yet move all internal code from MFace to LoopTri just yet.
Only applies to:
- opengl drawing
- sculpting (pbvh)
- vertex/weight paint
Thanks to @psy-fi for review, fixes and improvements to drawing!
This commit only adds callbacks which then later be used with major dependency
graph commit, keeping the upcoming commit more clean to follow.
Should be no functional changes so far still.
Added an utility function which performs vertex split based on the loop
normal so now backing API matches to what's happening in Cycles and BI
in terms of autosplit.

This is the core code for it, tools (datatransfer and modifier) will come in next commits).
RNA api is already there, though.
See the code for details, but basically, we define, for each 'smooth fan'
(which is a set of adjacent loops around a same vertex that are smooth, i.e. have a single same normal),
a 'loop normal space' (or lnor space), using auto-computed normal and relevant edges, and store
custom normal as two angular factors inside that space. This allows to have custom normals
'following' deformations of the geometry, and to only save two shorts per loop in new clnor CDLayer.
Normal manipulation (editing, mixing, interpolating, etc.) shall always happen with plain 3D vectors normals,
and be converted back into storage format at the end.
Clnor computation has also been threaded (at least for Mesh case, not for BMesh), since the process can
be rather heavy with high poly meshes.
Also, bumping subversion, and fix mess in 2.70 versioning code.
This is mandatory for incoming custom normal imports from io scripts, because
often geometry here is corrupted, so we need to call mesh.validate() to clean it up.
Issue is, we cannot set custom normals before geometry is clean, so we need to store
temporary plain loop normals in a CD_NORMAL layer, validate, and then set custom normals.
So we need a way to prevent 'temp' lnors to be freed by validate.
Issue was, when requesting (building) lnors for a mesh that has
autosmooth disabled, one would expect to simply get vnors as lnors.
Until now, it wasn't the case, which was bad e.g. for normal projections
of loops in recent remap code (projecting along split loop normals
when you would expect projection along vertex normals...).
Also, removed the 'angle' parameter from RNA's `mesh.calc_normals_split`.
This should *always* use mesh settings (both autosmooth and smoothresh),
otherwise once again we'd get inconsistencies in some cases.
Will update fbx and obj addons too.
This was a ToDo item, for mesh-based rigid body shapes (trimesh, convex)
the operator was simply using the bounding box volume, which can grossly
overestimate the volume and mass.
Calculating the actual volume of a mesh is not so difficult after all,
see e.g.
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/chazhang/publications/icip01_ChaZhang.pdf
This patch also allows calculating the center-of-mass in the same way.
This is currently unused, because the rigid body system assumes the CoM
to be the same as the geometric object center. This is fine most of the
time, adding such user settings for "center-of-mass offset" would also
add quite a bit of complexity in user space, but it could be necessary
at some point. A number of other physical properties could be calculated
using the same principle, e.g. the moment of inertia.
New operator that can calls a bake function to the current render engine when available. This commit provides no feature for the users, but allows external engines to be accessed by the operator and be integrated with the baking api.
The API itself is simple. Blender sends a populated array of BakePixels to the renderer, and gets back an array of floats with the result.
The Blender Internal (and multires) system is still running independent, but we eventually will pipe it through the API as well. Cycles baking will come next as a separated commit
Python Operator:
----------------
The operator can be called with some arguments, or a user interface can be created for it. In that case the arguments can be ommited and the interface can expose the settings from bpy.context.scene.render.bake
bpy.ops.object.bake(type='COMBINED', filepath="", width=512, height=512, margin=16, use_selected_to_active=False, cage_extrusion=0, cage="", normal_space='TANGENT', normal_r='POS_X', normal_g='POS_Y', normal_b='POS_Z', save_mode='INTERNAL', use_clear=False, use_split_materials=False, use_automatic_name=False)
Note: external save mode is currently disabled.
Supported Features:
------------------
* Margin - Baked result is extended this many pixels beyond the border of each UV "island," to soften seams in the texture.
* Selected to Active - bake shading on the surface of selected object to the active object. The rays are cast from the lowpoly object inwards towards the highpoly object. If the highpoly object is not entirely involved by the lowpoly object, you can tweak the rays start point with Cage Extrusion. For even more control of the cage you can use a Cage object.
* Cage Extrusion - distance to use for the inward ray cast when using selected to active
* Custom Cage - object to use as cage (instead of the lowpoly object).
* Normal swizzle - change the axis that gets mapped to RGB
* Normal space - save as tangent or object normal spaces
Supported Passes:
-----------------
Any pass that is supported by Blender renderlayer system. Though it's up to the external engine to provide a valid enum with its supported passes. Normal passes get a special treatment since we post-process them to converted and "swizzled"
Development Notes for External Engines:
---------------------------------------
(read them in bake_api.c)
* For a complete implementation example look at the Cycles Bake commit (next).

Own bug from rBc691551249f3. Now at least I understand why `test_index_face()` is needed for tessellated quads!
Added a bunch of comments to explain the issue, as it's far from an obvious one...
We loose some performances, but it's still much quicker than org code.
The main idea is to store (during tessellation) or recreate (during tessdata update) a tessfaceverts-to-loops mapping, and then update all tessdata
in one pass, instead of calling `BKE_mesh_loops_to_mface_corners` repeatedly for all tfaces!

This simply mimics code used for loopnormals, to enable py scripts to generate and access (temporary)
a tangent 3D vector and bitangent sign for each loop. Together with the split normals, this allow
to recreate a complete tangent space for normal mapping (bitangent = bitangent_sign * cross(normal, tangent)).
Expects all faces to be tri or quads.

Was a silly error introduced in algo during optimization, vertices having sharp and smooth edges would only get the first poly's normal for each "smooth loop group".
Also done a (minor) optimization, and some comment fixes.
In fact, the issue was that names of mloopuv/mtespoly layers could very easily get out of sync (a simple rename was enough), while most tools (such as the UVProject modifier) expect matching layers to have the same name!
Now matching names are check on load, and renaming of a layer through RNA is guaranted to be synchronized with its counterparts.
Thanks to Brecht & Campbell for reviews.
