Thanks @mont29 for this patch.
This creates an explicit undo step after the Alembic importer has finished
running. This is necessary when the importer runs as a background job.
The icons for toggling fake users on orphan datablocks in the outliner
were drawn as the quit and x icons instead of the fake user icon. This
changes to the correct icon, and removes the redundant "F" column.
Is lazily-initialized array owned by the SubdivCCG. Allows to access
index of a first grid of a given face in the flat array of grids.
Currently unused, but is needed for multires bake.
Now all options for "snap to" affect the Vert Slide mode.

For GPU debugging purposes, it is still possible to render with the same BVH2
on the CPU using the Debug panel in the render properties.
Note that building Blender without Embree will now lead to significantly reduced
performance in CPU rendering, and a few of the Cycles regression tests will fail
due to small pixel differences.

Also removing the curve system manager which only stored a few curve intersection
settings. These are all changes towards making shape and subdivision settings
per-object instead of per-scene, but there is more work to do here.

This keeps render results compatible for combined CPU + GPU rendering.
Peformance and quality primitives is quite different than before. There
are now two options:
* Rounded Ribbon: render hair as flat ribbon with (fake) rounded normals, for
fast rendering. Hair curves are subdivided with a fixed number of user
specified subdivisions.
This gives relatively good results, especially when used with the Principled
Hair BSDF and hair viewed from a typical distance. There are artifacts when
viewed closed up, though this was also the case with all previous primitives
(but different ones).
* 3D Curve: render hair as 3D curve, for accurate results when viewing hair
close up. This automatically subdivides the curve until it is smooth.
This gives higher quality than any of the previous primitives, but does come
at a performance cost and is somewhat slower than our previous Thick curves.
The main problem here is performance. For CPU and OpenCL rendering performance
seems usually quite close or better for similar quality results.
However for CUDA and Optix, performance of 3D curve intersection is problematic,
with e.g. 1.45x longer render time in Koro (though there is no equivalent quality
and rounded ribbons seem fine for that scene). Any help or ideas to optimize this
are welcome.

The kernel did not work correctly when these were disabled anyway. The
optimized BVH traversal for the no instances case was also only used on
the CPU, so no longer makes sense to keep.

The hair BSDFs are already designed to assume this, and disabling backface
culling would break them in some cases.

Triangles were very memory intensive. The only reason they were not removed yet
is that they gave more accurate results, but there will be an accurate 3D curve
primitive added for this.
Line rendering was always poor quality since the ends do not match up. To keep CPU
and GPU compatibility we just remove them entirely. They could be brought back if
an Embree compatible implementation is added, but it's not clear to me that there
is a use case for these that we'd consider important.

Subscribers:
No significant performance improvement is expected, but it means we have a
single thread pool throughout Blender. And it should make adding more
parallellization in the future easier.
After previous refactoring commits this is basically a drop-in replacement.
One difference is that the task pool had a mechanism for scheduling tasks to
the front of the queue to minimize memory usage. TBB has a smarter algorithm
to balance depth-first and breadth-first scheduling of tasks and we assume that
removes the need to manually provide hints to the scheduler.

* Fixed selection of point in multiframe mode. The point was not selected.
* Removed the fill area selection because makes the tool imprecise, and for this tool need to be precise or the selection is impossible. Now only select if it's over the point, not over the filled area.
Always use the default size here, since desired bounds have been set
interactively, it does not make sense to use a different size from a
previous command.
