This patch implements the list panel system D7490 for grease pencil
modifiers. It also moves their drawing to a callback in
GpencilModifierTypeInfo in line with the extensible architecture
refactoring goal T75724.
This also adds the "set_error" function for grease pencil modifiers,
which hadn't been copied from mesh modifiers yet.
The implementation is basically exactly the same as for the modifier
patch (9b099c8612).
Thanks to Matias Mendiola (mendio) for providing mockups for many
of the layout changes.

Before, the material name was used to filter the effect of the stroke, but after the last changes in the ID code, now it's not working.
After talking with @severin, we agreed to replace the material name with a pointer. Also, this fix a design issue when the materials were linked.

This commit is a full refactor of the grease pencil modules including Draw Engine, Modifiers, VFX, depsgraph update, improvements in operators and conversion of Sculpt and Weight paint tools to real brushes.
Also, a huge code cleanup has been done at all levels.
Thanks to @fclem for his work and yo @pepeland and @mendio for the testing and help in the development.

While it might be handy to have type-less functionality which is
similar to how C++ math is implemented it can not be easily achieved
with just preprocessor in a way which does not have side-effects on
wrong usage.
There macros where often used on a non-trivial expression, and there
was at least one usage where it was causing an actual side effect/bug
on Windows (see change around square_f(sh[index++]) in studiolight.c).
For such cases it is handy to have a function which is guaranteed to
have zero side-effects. The motivation behind actually removing the
macros is that there is already a way to do similar calculation. Also,
not having such macros is a way to guarantee that its usage is not
changed in a way which have side-effects and that it's not used as an
inspiration for cases where it should not be used.

- Use 'BKE_object_defgroup' prefix for object functions.
- Rename 'defvert_verify_index' to 'defvert_ensure_index'
since this adds the group if it isn't found.
Before, the modifiers were evaluated in Draw Engine and this required to calculate a factor to increase the VBO size.
Now, the modifiers are evaluated in Depsgraph and the Draw Engine receives the evaluated stroke with the final number of vertices. As the number of vertices is the final value already, if Draw Manager increases the number with the modifiers only increases the memory with empty space because never would be used. This commit removes this double calculation, reducing the memory usage and removes a loop to calculate the size by modifier too.
Also, the function getDuplicationFactor() has been removed because is not required anymore.
This commit adds a new filter by material using the name and not only the index.

This commit adds the frame to deformStroke Callback as a preparation for new modifiers that will need this variable.
Actually, the existing modifiers are not using the frame.
BLI should always comes first, before DNA, BKE etc. And
`BLI_utildefines.h` should come before any other BLI (since it's some
sort of system include really, among other things...).
Thisi should help to reduce the noise in patches when adding stuff
like uint64_t members to DNA structs... ;)
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.
This is part of T57829.
Reduce the number of batches used to only one by shader type. This reduces GPU overhead and increase a lot the FPS. As the number of batches is small, the time to allocate and free memory was reduced in 90% or more.
Also the code has been simplified and all batch management has been removed because this is not necessary. Now, all shading groups are created after all vertex buffer data for all strokes has been created using DRW_shgroup_call_range_add().
All batch cache data has been moved to the Object runtime struct and not as before where some parts (derived data) were saved inside GPD datablock.
For particles, now the code is faster and cleaner and gets better FPS.
Thanks to Clément Foucault for his help and advices to improve speed.
This commit merge the full development done in greasepencil-object branch and include mainly the following features.
- New grease pencil object.
- New drawing engine.
- New grease pencil modes Draw/Sculpt/Edit and Weight Paint.
- New brushes for grease pencil.
- New modifiers for grease pencil.
- New shaders FX.
- New material system (replace old palettes and colors).
- Split of annotations (old grease pencil) and new grease pencil object.
- UI adapted to blender 2.8.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
