The knife code currently calls the `BLI_bvhtree_overlap` function that
tests the overlap between the mesh tree and an AABB that encompasses the
points projected in the clip_start, clip_end and or clip_planes of the
view.
This resulted in many false positives since the AABB is very large.
Often all the triangles "overlapped".
The solution was to create a new function that actually tests the
intersection of AABB with a plane.
Even not considering the clip_planes of the view, this solution is more
appropriate than using overlap.

`BLI_task_parallel_range` counts the number of tasks depending on the
number of items.
In the case of `BLI_bvhtree_overlap` the number of items is always
between 2 and 16, which makes it always run in single thread.
So, set the maximum number of items per thread to 1.
In my tests the cloth collision system (which calls that function)
went from 0.80fps to 0.88fps.

As you can see, here is testing the "children" of `node1`.
So bvhtree is `tree1`.
This problem has never been observed because usually `tree_type`
of `tree1` equals `tree_type` of `tree2`.
Although not using multithreading, the `thread` parameter in the
`BVHTree_OverlapCallback` callback always returned a value between the
"number of threads".
This parameter should always be 0 in such cases.
Also a `BLI_Stack` was created for each "thread" and used.
This small overhead is no longer seen.

BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
Free the BVH tree immediately along with the mesh, otherwise we might access
invalid mesh data.

Simple find_nearest relies on a heuristic for efficient culling of
the BVH tree, which involves a fast callback that always updates the
result, and the caller reusing the result of the previous find_nearest
to prime the process for the next vertex.
If the callback is slow and/or applies significant restrictions on
what kind of nodes can qualify for the result, the heuristic can't
work. Thus for such tasks it is necessary to order and prune nodes
before the callback at BVH tree level using a priority queue.
Since, according to code history, for simple find_nearest the
heuristic approach is faster, this mode has to be an option.
This patch adds support for clip_planes (ie ignore what is behind a face)...
The idea is to first execute a raycast to get the polygon to which the mouse cursor points.
Then a snap test is done on the vertices or edges of the polygon.
Then with the normal and location obtained in raycast a new clip_plane is created and the snap over the whole scene is processed ignoring the elements behind the clip_plane.
Here 2 gif of how the previous patch would work on blender2.79:

This patch does not make any difference for a user's POV. But it is a step for adding the occlusion test for snapping functions.
This new function finds the node(aabb) whose projection is closest to a screen coordinate.

Each parameter of the function is copied into the memory stack.
This also brought an improvement in peformance of snapping functions between 5% and 12% in my tests.
- When returning the number of items in a collection use BLI_*_len()
- Keep _size() for size in bytes.
- Keep _count() for data structures that don't store length
(hint this isn't a simple getter).
See P611 to apply instead of manually resolving conflicts.
