Some deform modifiers (like armature) use passed Mesh parameter to
retrieve some extra data (vgroups in our case), and default to obdata
when it is not available.
This should be fine in theory in the 'apply modifier to obdata' case,
since this is always the first modifier, but here upper-level code
passes **evaluated** object, not orig one, so ob->data is not orig
anymore, and might miss some stuff...
Note that am quiet unsure whether the way evaluated data is passed
around in that apply modifier operator code is actually OK, but for now
it seems to work at least...
This patch implements new cache system.
Aim is to give user more control over cache, so it can be maximally
utilized. This is done through sequencer timeline side panel
in category proxy & cache.
Cached images are also visualized in timeline, controled by
sequencer timeline view->cache menu
Functional changes:
- NOT use IMB_moviecache API
- refactor names of cached image types
- each scene owns 1 sequencer cache
- merge preprocess cache into per-sequencer cache
- cache links images rendered per frame in order as they are created
- add cache content visualization tool
- add RNA properties to control the cache

This patch fixes T63794 by updating duplicated bones' custom handle references
to point to the new armature's bones.
The problem occurs because B-Bones of a duplicated armature keep pointing to
the old armature's bones. The references are cleared upon entering Edit Mode
because there are no matching `EditBone` for such bones, and `find_ebone_link`
just returns `NULL` in such cases.

Modifier previews should be implemented by a more generic system.
The current system is already a hack and needed a lot of work
to get it working again in 2.80 and even so that would be replaced by
another system in the near future.
For Vertex Colors we have a work around in place by using Workbench
Vertex Colors. For Vertex Weights we loose the previewing. Not sure
targetting weight is working (even for 279).

Force Displist to Mesh conversion if there is any modifier.
This is until we find a better way to store the batches per objects.
Also fix draw cache functions that were not returning final mesh edges.
On file read we need to update group nodes in case the group they refer to
has changed its inputs and outputs. This had O(n^2) time complexity and was
updating all datablocks even if they did not change.
Forward compatibility with that version is already long gone, and removing
it means we can avoid running some complicated code on every file read/write.
As far as I can tell, there is no technical reason why the B-Bone
segment thickness scaling can't be separated into two axes. The
only downside is the increase in complexity of the B-Bone settings,
but this is inevitable due to the increase in flexibility.
Updating the file is somewhat complicated though, because F-Curves
and drivers have to be duplicated and updated to the new names.

Currently it is not possible to view the vertex colors of an object. To
optimize the workflow, workbench will need to support Vertex Colors.
The Vertex Colors is a new option in `shading->color_type`. When objects
do not have vertex color, the objects will be rendered with the
`V3D_SHADING_OBJECT_COLOR`.
In order to support vertex colors in workbench the current texture/solid
shading structure is migrated to a primary shaders and fallback shaders.

This adds a new "Automatic" image display method which uses GLSL shaders for
most images. It only does CPU side color management for higher res images
where sending big float buffers to the GPU is likely to be a bottleneck or
cause memory usage problem.
Automatic is the default now, previously it was 2D Texture.
Now that B-Bone shape data is kept in bPoseChannel_Runtime, the
armature level cache only holds one quaternion value per bone.
It can also be moved to runtime, and the structure removed.
This has an additional effect that, as far as I can tell, now
the Armature modifier can run as soon as all of the bones it
actually needs are done, thus making T59848 a purely depsgraph
level problem.
This way float and multilayer images can now be packed without data loss. This
removes the as_png option and always uses the appropriate file format depending
on the image contents.
Previously, when a fcurve modifier used storage,
many heap allocations were done.
This caused major slowdowns as described in T63656.
Furthermore, the storage usage was a special case only
used by the Cycles modifier. This refactor makes
storage usage the "normal" case.
That reduces the overall complexity.
The storage is stack allocated now.
The framerate on the provided test scene went up from ~5 fps to ~16 fps.
